Chapter 344 Passing a Note

On May 3, 2005, Porto Dragon Stadium away from the dressing room.

Two men in black suits walked up to Ye Qiu, who claimed to be from the UEFA Discipline Committee. Their duty was to accompany Ye Qiu in the stands to watch this highly anticipated focus event.

Ye Qiu, who had just finished his pre-war mobilization from the locker room, looked at these two people in surprise.

UEFA is worried about him and is worried that he will be able to command the team by playing mobile phones during the game, so he specially arranged personnel to watch him. He was notified before the game. It is said that this is the first head coach in the Champions League to enjoy such high standards. He even arranged a private bodyguard, which is indeed worthy of it.

However, these two bodyguards looked a little shabby. One was tall but very thin, with glasses, and a gentle man. The other was shorter, but not the kind of ferocious spirit with a fat face. It looked more like a college student who had just graduated from school. She was a little immature and was a little nervous when she saw Ye Qiu.

"Don't be nervous, I said I won't call, so I will definitely not call." Ye Qiu shook the cell phone he held in his hand.

He now holds a cell phone in one hand and a notepad and a pen in the other.

Chelsea did appeal for Ye Qiu's matter before, but UEFA did not accept it, and the ban was still the same. In order to avoid Ye Qiu's remote control of the game again, they decided to arrange personnel to accompany him. Chelsea also won the treatment of sitting in the Chelsea fan club for Ye Qiu. After all, UEFA is also worried that something would happen if Ye Qiu sat in the Porto fan group.

However, UEFA also made a requirement that Ye Qiu could not sit in the front rows.

It can be seen that UEFA is indeed carefully guarding against Ye Qiu, and has even reached the point where he is a little bit of a big deal.

"By the way, two of you, should you hand over your phone?" Ye Qiu consciously obeyed the organization's appearance.

"No, no, Mr. Ye Qiu, as long as you don't call your phone," the tall glasses immediately shook his hand with a smile.

To be honest, Ye Qiu's every move is now attracting the attention of the media. If they confiscate Ye Qiu's mobile phone, Chelsea fans will not have to squirt them after the game? Even UEFA had given special instructions before, just look at it and give politeness and respect. After all, Ye Qiu is now a famous coach in the world football world and cannot be neglected.

"Then let's go." Ye Qiu didn't look like the banned head coach at all. Instead, he seemed happy to watch the game in the stands.

This also made the two bodyguards look at each other behind him, and they felt relieved, because they were very worried before, for fear that Ye Qiu would get angry and cause trouble for them, but now it seems that they are over-concerned.

Although they were not arranged in the front rows, Ye Qiu's seat was still in the first floor stand, so they went straight to the stand. When they came out, the live broadcast camera immediately captured Ye Qiu's figure, and the two bodyguards next to them also appeared on the big screen.

"This is Chelsea coach Ye Qiu, who was suspended by UEFA in this game, and his two bodyguards." The commentator on the scene did not forget to tease him, and a burst of voices suddenly sounded at the scene, cheers and booed, all intertwined, and it was hard to tell what it was and what it was.

"Mr. Ye Qiu"

"Mr. Ye Qiu, you are here"

As soon as Ye Qiu walked into the stands, the Chelsea fans around him all stood up and shook hands with Ye Qiu. Those who could follow the team to the away game were Chelsea's loyal fans. There were not many people, only a few thousand, but they were all gathered in the surrounding area.

"I feel more at ease sitting in the Chelsea fan group. You know, I am very worried that Porto fans are as rough as their players. I am the most timid and afraid that others will hit me the most, especially when I hit me in the face. I just rely on this face to make a living." Ye Qiu told a joke in a mess and found a place to sit down.

The surroundings were too dense. After Ye Qiu sat on it, both bodyguards could only sit on Ye Qiu's left.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, are you sitting here?" An elderly fan next to him stood up in a panic.

"Ahh, yes, I remember you, aren't you?"

"Lon Hawkins" senior fans introduced themselves.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Hawkins, I'm so happy to be sitting next to you and watch the game with you." Ye Qiu enthusiastically reached out to hold Hawkins together. The two of them felt familiar to each other, but they didn't know each other.

"This Dragon Stadium is also known as the best home stadium in Portugal, and the seats are all dirty." Ye Qiu curled his lips pickyly, tore off a few pages of paper from the notepad, rubbed it hard on the seat a few times, and threw it on the surrounding ground. He turned around and said to himself: "Wait a minute, I'll pick up the trash can and put it first."

The two bodyguards immediately laughed. Naturally, they would not say that Ye Qiu littered or had no quality.

"I put my phone here, you guys look at it." Ye Qiu was very proactive and conscious. As soon as he sat down, he took out his phone and put it in a conspicuous place. "I am used to it. I always take some notes when watching football and study the opponent."

As he said that, he quickly wrote Porto's starting lineup and formation in Chinese on his notepad.

Although the two bodyguards did not understand Chinese, they could see clearly that Ye Qiu was indeed writing tactical formations. Then they also observed what Ye Qiu wrote and found that he often tore off the wrong pages of paper and threw them together with the pieces of paper that had just been wiped. Not long after, there were more pieces of paper.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, why not put it in my bag and take it away later." Lang Hawkins next to him handed over a bag.

Ye Qiu looked at the two bodyguards, and naturally they had no objection. They had a small matter, so the bag was hung between Ye Qiu and Lang Hawkins. The former wrote notes, while the latter ate, and the two shared a bag.

The two fledgling bodyguards were worried about Ye Qiu's conspiracy at first, but after careful observation, they found that Ye Qiu was calm from beginning to end. They not only actively cooperated with their surveillance, but even often smiled. Gradually, they all relaxed their vigilance.

After all, Ye Qiu is not an unforgivable criminal.

Avran Grant sat on the visiting bench at Dragon Stadium. He sat with the players. Because there was no place on the coach's seat, he could only sit with the substitute players.

In his opinion, the starting lineups against both sides in this game are very interesting. Originally, we should have taken advantage of the home court advantage and took advantage of the opportunity of Chelsea's coach's red card ban to crush Chelsea in one fell swoop and reverse the situation. However, Porto still used the defensive tactics of three midfielders at the beginning. The starting lineup is not much different from the game in London.

The only change is that the main striker McCarthy was suspended for a red card, and Mourinho sent Brazilian striker Delray.

Chelsea should have played more conservatively, especially after Ye Qiu was suspended from the red card, the Blues lost their backbone, and with the first round victory, they now have every reason to play more conservatively, but no, Chelsea's starting lineup revealed the team's offensive desire.

Goalkeeper Cudicini, the defense is Evra, Cannavaro, Terry and Macon, the three midfielders are Davis, Deco and Lampard, and the frontcourt are Ribery, Goodjohansen and Rooney.

As the starting lineup showed, Ye Qiu did not hide his idea of ​​using offense to destroy Porto's defense from the beginning of the game. Chelsea also directly launched a wave of attacks on Porto from the moment the whistle sounded, and actively suppressed Porto from the beginning.

If only Ye Qiu's tactics show the desire to attack, then that's fine. What surprised Grant even more was that every player of this team made a very resolute attack from the beginning, which immediately made Porto's goal panic, and Porto's defense line immediately fell into turmoil.

However, Mourinho is capable and his ability to train defense cannot be underestimated. When Chelsea actively pressed the attack, Porto began to shrink three lines and actively defended his own 30-meter area. Even if the situation seemed precarious, he just kept his last breath and did not give Chelsea a chance to score.

Seeing this situation, Grant, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but frown deeply and was thinking about the problem, because he keenly realized that Mourinho's strategy was actually a defensive counterattack. If Chelsea did not break Porto's defense, Porto's counterattack would break through Chelsea's goal at the most deadly moment.

By the way, the referee on duty in this game was Slovak international referee Lupos Michel, and the three referees in this game were only about 358 years old, and they were all young in age, and the fourth referee also came from Slovakia.

Of course, although young, Lupos Michel is one of the best international referees in European football. UEFA used him to replace French referee Saar, which is also to block everyone's mouth and avoid the recurrence of rumors that UEFA wants to get rid of Chelsea. Lupos Michel is also known for his strict and fair law enforcement.

Perhaps he felt the pressure from the referee, especially Lupos Michel, who gave Porto two fierce moves from the beginning a yellow card and a severe warning punishment, which made Porto feel a little restrained.

In other words, the referee factor can be rest assured, and the most important thing is at the tactical level.

How to solve Porto's defense?

Grant thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with the answer, because he had to think carefully, not only consider the team's current advantages, but also ensure that the team's offense was more threatening. He was not familiar with Chelsea players and was somewhat narrow-minded in his considerations.

Fatty Roland seemed to be unable to sit still, stood up from the coach's seat, took a bottle of water, and slowly walked towards the bench, as if he was coming to talk to the players. This scene happened at any time on the court, and no one took him to heart.

But Roland walked past the bench and came to the fan stands.

Dragon Stadium is the same as Stamford Bridge Stadium. It is both a football field, and there is no track with a track and field stadium. The turf comes out and it is directly the stands area, so Roland walked directly to the front of the stands after passing the bench.

Like all football games, there is inevitably some garbage scattered below the stands, basically all the miscellaneous items from the fans in the stands, and they are usually cleaned up by the stadium staff after the game.

Whether it is the live shot, the coach, players and fans' attention is focused on the game, and no one will pay attention to the movements of an inconspicuous assistant coach on the sidelines, so Roland walked to the sidelines and bent down to pick up a piece of paper. No one noticed it, and the Dutch did not stay for much, turned around and walked back to the coach's seat.

But this scene was seen by Grant, and his first reaction was to pass notes.

Needless to say, it must be Ye Qiu from the stands, but now he represents Chelsea, so of course he will not expose it.

Roland took the note and found Tencart. The visiting team coach's seat immediately issued an adjustment order. Goodjohansen's position retreated and took the ball more. Ribery and Rooney pressed forward and actively stepped forward in the penalty area. The three Chelsea midfielders also put forward together, and joined in and participated in the offense.

As soon as Chelsea adjusted, there was an immediate change on the court in less than a few minutes.

Goodjohansen retreated to receive the pass from the midfield. After getting the ball, he blocked Carvalho behind him with his body. When protecting the ball, Pepe wanted to rush over to grab the ball, but Goodjohansen quickly passed to Lampard who was inserted behind him. After Lampard got the ball, he directly passed with a kick. Rooney quickly inserted into Porto's penalty area from the right rib, stopped the ball, turned around, and shot, and the ball passed by Baia.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

The staff of the Chelsea coaching seat and the players on the bench rushed out of the seat quickly, constantly raising their arms to cheer, and each expression was indescribable excitement. The players on the court rushed out of the stadium wildly, rushed to the bottom of the stand where the Chelsea fans were, and shouted at the Chelsea fans in the stands.

Like all Chelsea fans, Ye Qiu stood up from his seat, shouted at the fans, shouted Chelsea, and shouted the player's name, but at the same time, he clenched his fists with both hands and looked very excited. This scene was not only captured by the live broadcast footage, but also appeared on the big screen, but also by the players and coaches.

"The head means to continue attacking, and with this breath, he will directly drop Porto." Terry grabbed his teammate tightly and shouted loudly. Ye Qiu said before the game that he was not here, and the captain Terry is the team's head coach.

"We will wash the Dragon Stadium to death for those Portuguese," Lampard stretched out his right hand and shouted.

The players' hands were stacked one by one, then shouted in unison, "Bloody Dragon Stadium", and then scattered.

This scene was naturally seen by the live broadcast camera and Porto. The group of Porto players who had just been scored looked sad and angry. They could not accept that they were bullied by their opponents at home.

But sometimes the situation does not mean that you can reverse it if you are sad and angry. Chelsea is working hard to pursue the victory. In addition, the team adopts high-level defense, three midfielders suppress Porto's midfield and actively open up two sides, making Porto exhausted.

Just 8 minutes from the last goal, Chelsea once again broke through Porto's goal.

This time, it was from Davis who suddenly stole the ball in the middle and passed directly to the left. Ribery used his personal speed to forcibly break through Ferreira one-on-one, crossed from the left to the back point, Lampard inserted it and headed the ball.

After scoring the goal, the deputy captain of the Blues rushed to the sidelines, slid and knelt on the sidelines to celebrate, and kept shouting loudly, "Bloody Dragon Stadium and Bloody Dragon Stadium"

When Chelsea scored two goals in a row, Porto began to shake his confidence in the reversal, and the total score was 0 behind. In addition, Chelsea's away goal, they had to score 4 goals to reverse Chelsea, and all three goals were considered a loss. For Porto, scoring 4 goals for Chelsea is undoubtedly difficult to reach the sky.

Not only the players, but also the coaches on the sidelines and fans in the stands were obviously a little over.

Before the game, they were full of confidence in the team's promotion because the guy named Ye Qiu was suspended from the red card. But what they didn't expect was that the final result was so unexpected. In just about half an hour, Chelsea scored two goals in a row.

Bloody Dragon Stadium?

This is Ye Qiu's slogan after the first leg of the game. No Porto fans would believe this before the game, but now, they can't help but discover that there is such a big gap in strength between Porto and Chelsea.

Could it be that Ye Qiu’s remarks before the game are true?

At the pre-match press conference of this game, Ye Qiu said bluntly that if one of the parties in the game always wants to win with fouls and favoritism with the referee, he will sooner or later suffer the consequences.

The last game he lost only L goals from Stamford Bridge was not a very bad result, but who could have thought that when he returned to the Dragon Stadium, Porto performed less combat effectiveness than in the first round. Could it be that it was because the referee was replaced by Lupos Michel, who had strict law enforcement?

No one can give his own answer to this question, but everyone can see it clearly that Porto is on the verge of despair.

Sometimes, despair will completely lose a person's will to resist, but sometimes, despair will also make a person crazy.

Just after conceding the ball, Porto's head coach Mourinho rushed to the sidelines. He ignored the staff's blocking and pulling, and frantically shouted at the Porto players on the stadium, and even did not lack swearing in his words. Porto players seemed to feel the will of the head coach and began to increase their movements in the game, especially when defending.

When the game reached the 41st minute, Maniche got the ball from the right and knocked it back to Costinia. As soon as the latter stopped the ball, he saw the Dutch wild boar Davis approaching quickly. The Dutch wild boar, the small and big demon, entangled Costinia, and his left foot was very flexible and poked the ball forward, then quickly chased after him, preparing to launch a counterattack on the spot.
