"Hey, have you watched live TV?"

When the team returned to the hotel from the Grimalti Convention Center, the players and coaching staff gathered in Ye Qiu's room. The guy had just finished the phone call with Eliza and his wife Huang Chu and was taking a comfortable bath, and they knocked on the door.

Ronaldinho is a slick master. He grinned as soon as he entered the door, revealing his signature tooth. He asked Ye Qiu this question in a good mood, and seemed to want to stump Ye Qiu.

"I want to watch the live broadcast, I will go to the scene." Ye Qiu looked like you were so stupid, and shook his head and walked to the locker room.

"Head, then guess who got the best coach?" Ronaldinho was indeed in his mind, and the players around him kept laughing, as if waiting for Ye Qiu to make a fool of himself.

"Redhager" Ye Qiu quickly walked out in a loose dress and answered casually.

"Yes, head, you're so awesome." Ronaldinho smiled so hard that he was so lewd, "Then guess what the result is like? Who are the other three opponents we draw?"

"I'm not Johnson, who can guess?" Ye Qiu didn't understand the ghost thoughts of these guys, and shook his head.

"Guess, head," Ronaldinho advised.

"That's right, just guess." Ribery was also a guy who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

Lampard even pointed at Ronaldinho, "He said just now, there is a prize if he guessed it right."

"Yes, guess right, there's a prize, guess, guess." Terry also started to cheer.

"Don't worry, head, if you guess wrong, we promise not to laugh at you," Drogba said silly.

As soon as the Ivorian monster was spoken out, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

"Just draw, it seems like you want to bet on horse racing. The unpromising guy thinks I am Ferguson?" Ye Qiu used Ferguson to make fun of it. The Manchester United coach is famous for betting on horses. The famous Gibraltar incident caused a lot of controversy. Under the leadership of Ferguson, many players from Manchester United like to bet on horses.

Ye Qiu said casually, which immediately amused everyone again, and started to make a fuss and bet one after another.

In fact, in the Premier League, playing cards within the team is not a rare thing. There was a gamble in the English national team that year. Irving likes to bet very much, and even bets very much. However, Ye Qiu is not banned from gambling. He thinks that small gambling can be fun, but big gambling is prohibited, or it may affect training and competitions because of gambling.

Sometimes, the head coach is like a nanny. You not only have to lead the players to fight on the court, but you also have to take care of their life and entertainment, just like the game tomorrow night, and the whole day will be rested tomorrow. How can the players pass the time at this time? The coaching staff has to give some arrangements and methods.

"Okay, play with you." Ye Qiu nodded with a smile, "But I can swear, I definitely didn't watch live TV, nor did I get results from our coaching staff, staff, hotel staff and my wife."

Ye Qiu's proactive confession immediately gave the players peace of mind because they felt that Ye Qiu's news channels seemed to be all that. Since he swears, he should not know.

"Okay, then guess it." Ronaldinho and his teammates looked at each other and nodded.

"Wait, we have to make a statement first. The bet is one thing. I won. Each of you promised to do something for me. I lost. Is it fair to do something for you?" Ye Qiu said the bet first, and he was so happy in his heart. Oh my god, fight me?

"Okay, no problem" Lampard nodded directly.

After Ye Qiu took the initiative to confess, they all felt that their head coach seemed to have no other news channels, and how could he guess it just by guessing?

"Then I'll start guessing," Ye Qiu said with a smile, "The strongest team in the fourth level should be Werder Bremen, but I don't think it's them, but the CSKA Moscow. Previously, the media revealed that most of the funds of this team came from the huge sponsorship of Abramovich's Siberian Oil Company."

"This is the biggest gimmick, so if I guess correctly, the fourth opponent is Moscow CSKA"

After Ye Qiu analyzed the players, they were all a little stunned, and he actually guessed one by one.

"Okay, head, you're amazing, let's talk about it." Ronaldinho was a little stunned.

"The third-level team is not easy to guess. If we talk about relationships, I think the most likely one is Eindhoven, because my relationship with this team can be said to be a grudge or Leverkusen, but I always feel it is unlikely. According to UEFA's other set of unspoken rules for lottery draws, I think the biggest possibility is Paris Saint-Germain."

"We have three players from Paris Saint-Germain, Ronaldinho, Michael Essin and Heinze"

When he analyzed this, Ye Qiu smiled, "So, I think the third gear should be Paris Saint-Germain."

"Oh my god." Lampard was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted, "Boss, you must have known the result before. You must have watched the live broadcast, otherwise you would not have guessed so accurately."

"That's right, how could it be right if you didn't watch the live broadcast?" The players also started to cheer.

Ye Qiu was very calm, "Everyone, let's make an agreement first. I swear, I didn't watch the live broadcast. Did I turn on the TV when you came in? You go and ask the hotel waiter, when did I come back? She had come in once. Ask her if I was talking to my wife on the phone at that time, but I swear, I didn't get any news from my wife."

"This person has to be willing to accept the loss, right?" Ye Qiu simply regarded them as cheating.

In fact, there was a loophole in Ye Qiu's swearing, that is, the objects listed by him did not include Eliza Moon, but he took the initiative to swear, but the players did not study this carefully and started to make excuses.

"Okay, guess again, who is the first gear?" Ronaldinho was also angry this time, and he didn't believe that Ye Qiu could guess correctly.

Ye Qiu smiled, "This first-class team is actually the best guess. Why? Aside from Arsenal and Manchester United, there are only teams such as Porto, Real Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and La Coruña. It is almost impossible for Valencia to play in the Super Cup with us."

"I really met Real Madrid and Barcelona and killed them. After the dark horses of last season, UEFA will properly protect the influential and appealing giants, and do not want them to be eliminated too early. And generally speaking, UEFA has a very bad group draw mode, that is, to arrange the two teams in the Champions League final of last season in the next season in the same group, so, I guess, Porto

After saying that, Ye Qiu couldn't hide his little compliment. This was the advantage of using unintentional calculating Youxin. It was also a blame for these guys who deliberately wanted to see him make a fool, otherwise how could he be deceived?

As soon as he heard that Ye Qiu had guessed it, the players all stopped and began to question Ye Qiu's tricks. He must have known the result in advance, but he couldn't think of where Ye Qiu knew the result.

Ye Qiu shrugged at them, "We are willing to accept the loss, I will start to make a request to you now."

"Actually, what I want you to do is also very simple, such as letting you run naked in Monaco with your bare ass."

As Ye Qiu said, the players all opened their eyes as big as eggs. If this is the case, they had the heart to die. Fortunately, Ye Qiu quickly continued: "That's impossible. If you make a fool of yourself, I will lose face, right?"

The group of guys suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ronaldinho" Ye Qiu pointed at the Brazilian, "I am very dissatisfied with your recent state. I want you to do one thing, this season's Premier League goals and assists, Double 15, above."

"Lampard, you scored a good number of goals last season. The goal this season is to continue to maintain it, above the Premier League."

Ye Qiu pointed to Drogba who was shouting the loudest, "You black dazhuang, you yelled the loudest just now. Target a league goal, don't give me a discount to the guys who say you won't score the goal, you won't score."

"And you, Wien Rooney"

"Boss, I didn't make a bet with you." Rooney, the kid, came just now and didn't dare to stand out.

"Those who appear here are counted." Ye Qiu is now unreasonable, "You are cheaper, double-digit league goals."

"Frank Ribery, too, you, double-digit league goals"

"As for you, as the captain of the team, take the lead in making fun of John Terry, the league must not conced more than one goal."

Then the players who appeared in Ye Qiu's room, such as Van Persie, Goodjohansen, Deco, Jokore, etc., were all assigned tasks, and what Ye Qiu asked them to do was closely related to their performance on the court, and many of them were targeted at their weaknesses.

For example, Drogba, everyone said that he would not score goals, but Ye Qiu ranked his goals for his tasks. You know, in Ligue 1, Drogba scored the most goals in Gangang, with 17 league goals, so Ye Qiu's requirements for him are indeed a bit high now, but if he is willing to work hard to improve his strength and use Chelsea's ability to create opportunities, there is no big problem.

"Finally, I want all of you to defeat Valencia tomorrow," Ye Qiu announced at the end.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Ronaldinho, the tycoon, raised his hand and said something that made everyone hilarious.

"Head, this seems to be the second thing?"

When Ye Qiu was trying to imitate Ferguson to kick people, Ronaldinho ran out faster and ran away without a trace.

Regarding Ranieri, Ye Qiu always thought that this was a very powerful football coach.

Why do you need to add the word football before the coach?

This is because Ranieri's role is limited to the football level, and it has very little effect outside of football.

Or it can be said that as a head coach, Ranieri's ability in football is absolutely first-class, and may not reach the height of a tactical master like Benitez, but it is definitely not bad.

Many people say that Ranieri is a poor commander on the spot and is better at tuning pots, so he is nicknamed "Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

It is not difficult to see from the nickname "Tubing Tuber" that Ranieri's personality is the kind of cautious and step-by-step type, but he is good at thinking and has excellent tactical understanding and analysis skills, so he can find the problem of his ex very well and give a suitable solution every time. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

But sometimes, being too cautious, coupled with insufficient abilities outside the football field and being too accommodating with players, these have caused bottlenecks for Ranieri to coach. He seems to be difficult for him to change his personality and coaching characteristics.

Ranieri also has a nickname that is not very familiar to people. Gardener, I believe that even old fans will not remember this nickname.

It's tragic to say. Ranieri's two nicknames are both good starting points, but later it became the words that the media and fans mocked him and mocked him, including this gardener.

The reason why Ranieri is a gardener is because he has excellent ability to promote and cultivate players, so he joked that he is like a gardener, helping these seedlings grow vigorously and grow into towering trees. But later the meaning became that he was best at planting trees by his predecessors and sacrificing the cool of his future generations, so he was nicknamed gardener.

The most famous thing is that he laid a solid foundation in Valencia and directly created the peak of the later period of Cooper and Benitez. Many people, including Ye Qiu, admitted that Chelsea during the Ranieri period did lay a solid foundation for Chelsea's later glory, including two core players, Lampard and Terry.

As the saying goes, what kind of personality is what kind of life is there

Of course, these are all the views of outsiders on Ranieri, which is more objective, but as the head coach, in Ye Qiu's view, in addition to his personality and coaching the team, Ranieri also has an obvious deficit in the tactical level, that is, the wing road.

Ranieli is a typical Italian head coach who is good at defensive counterattacks, but he is different from the top Italian head coaches like Capello and Lippi. Ranieli is a designer of a tactical system and lacks abilities.

Many people wonder why Ranieri can only be a pot maker and cannot become a top coach?

Looking at the past few years, all top coaches actually have one thing in common, that is, the integration of offense and defense. Correspondingly, all top teams at the top must have balanced offense and defense. This is why Sakchi said that a truly strong team can not only create the most solid defense, but also play the most exciting offense.

In other words, it is not enough for you to simply defend. You also need to know how to attack. The same is true for you. It is not enough for you to only attack but not defend.

But as a head coach, Ranieri has very obvious shortcomings in the design of wing offense. Looking at all the teams he has coached, offense is a difficult problem, but offense and defense are a complementary and inseparable element in modern tactics.

Lack of wing offensive design and cannot use wing players well, and offense can only go too much to go to the middle, making it much easier for the opponent to defend.

Never underestimate professional head coaches. They rely on this to make a living. As long as there is a slight loophole in your tactical lineup, they can catch it, and even make you capsize. Almost all the big upsets are created in this way, and this is the most challenging and unpredictable part of professional football.

With obvious shortcomings, coupled with his own personality and mentality, Ranieri's ultimate choice of the route was to defend and counterattack.

Sometimes people are like this. When you are used to something and using a certain routine, you will inevitably have some inertial thinking. So when you return to Valencia, the first thing Ranieri does is change.

From the 3l in Benitez era to the current 44 in the current period, from the original high-level defense to the current shrinking counterattack, this directly led to the complete failure of the talented star Aimal, who was highly used during the Benitez era, and forward Mista made way for the double striker Divaio and Corradi.

Ye Qiu's Chelsea and Chelsea during the Ranieli era have completely different tactical styles. Ye Qiu also used the team's tactics to show the biggest difference between himself and Ranieli, that is, he dares to take risks. Even if the risks and opportunities are halfway, as long as he sees it correctly, he will fight.

This time he saw that Valencia's wing was not good, and from the original 3l high-position defensive tactic to the current 44 retraction tactic, it is not only the wingers who are not adapted, but also the full-backs are also very unacceptable. This is not only the problem of players' position and running, but also involves the cooperation between players and the changes in the ball route.

Chelsea launched the strongest attack on the flank from the beginning. Ye Qiu was determined to play his own style from the start of the attack and create a threat directly. In fact, in the 1st minute, Chelsea directly knocked on Valencia's goal, replaced Rooney to start the game, Ribery forced a breakthrough on the right and made a cross. Goodjohansen in the middle and scored a header.

After that, Chelsea slowed down slightly, but in the 31st minute, Joe Cole and Goodjohansen made a wall-to-wall cooperation. Evra quickly inserted into the baseline, and suddenly stopped urgently after receiving the pass, knocked back to the front of the penalty area. Davis inserted and shot directly.

Goalkeeper Canisales made a save move and flew into the ball with his palms, but he still couldn't stop the ball from being held by him and hit the upper right corner.

In the first half, Chelsea made two wonderful attacks through the wing and pierced Valencia's goal twice, and Ranieri had no choice but to do so. In the second half, Valencia began to press fiercely, and the referee had to frequently give yellow cards warnings. Chelsea made appropriate substitution adjustments, including Essin, Messi and Sun Jihai, who all got the opportunity to come out as a substitute.

Although Valencia finally relied on Vicente's personal ability to break through Van der Sar's goal in the 77th minute, it was still impossible to stop the team from failing. Ranieri had high hopes for him in this game, hoping that he could justify himself, and suffered a tragic defeat.

But this pot maker with a good personality also praised Ye Qiu's Chelsea after the game, believing that if Chelsea had not relaxed in the final stage, Valencia would have difficulty getting a chance. He also felt that Chelsea would be the most powerful contender for the Champions League championship this season.

Ye Qiu also responded to Ranieli's kindness, and he believed that Ranieli should be given more and more time.
