Chapter 353 Wait for me to come back!
A plane returning to London, England from Istanbul, Turkey overnight
The rising sun was born, with thick clouds under the plane, and behind it was a small piece of sunset dyed red from the sky.
"Dingdong, ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to arrive in London. We will land at Heathrow Airport. Please return to your seat, fasten your seat belt, put away the table in front of your seat, and turn off all electronic devices. Thank you for your cooperation."
With the cabin waiter's reminder, the Chelsea players who were originally asleep in the cabin, the staff and staff immediately woke up one by one, and the originally quiet cabin was immediately filled with movement.
Because the due date is about to arrive, Huang Chu did not come to Istanbul, Turkey. Instead, Eliza made a special trip back to Europe from the United States and watched Chelsea's game on the spot. Unexpectedly, the final result was a loss. Now she is sitting next to Ye Qiu, covering her coat with Ye Qiu's coat.
The sleepy girl opened her eyes slightly, making sure that her seat belt was not loose, and closed it again, but she casually pulled La Yeqiu's suit jacket, and she always felt a little cold, so it would be better to cover it with warmth.
Ye Qiu sat aside, and saw that she didn't say anything. She just smiled slightly, turned her head and looked outside through the window.
"Wow, Rainbow" Eliza, sleepy-eyed, said sleepyly.
"Don't you sleep anymore?" Ye Qiu looked at her and asked with a smile.
"Are you a pig?" Eliza sat upright in anger, took off her suit and gently placed it beside Ye Qiu. "But after I go back, I still have to make up for my sleep. The biggest natural enemy of women is lack of sleep."
Love beauty, it seems to be a woman's nature
When Ye Qiu smiled, he clearly felt that the plane was slowly falling from the clouds, and the huge London finally appeared in front of him.
Looking down at London from a high altitude, the most conspicuous thing is the winding River Thames and the densely packed city. Although there are no skyscrapers that are too tall in the west half of London, the buildings here are very dense, and it is really valuable for every inch of land.
As soon as I think of myself living and working in this city on weekdays, I feel that it is so small and my whole mood has become different. The depression of losing has also been wiped out, and replaced by a fighting spirit that has emerged again.
Hearing Ye Qiu let out a heavy breath, Eliza smiled, didn't say anything, but was very pleased.
Ye Qiu has never been a person who needs comfort. Huang Chu knows him and she also knows him very well. However, sometimes, Huang Chu will adopt a gentler way to relieve him, and she likes to bicker with him.
But this time, she rarely said a word.
"I thought about it for more than four hours, have you figured it out?" Eliza asked with concern.
After hearing this, Ye Qiu turned his head and looked at her, "You have been pretending to be asleep and looking at me?" The smile was indescribable.
Even though Eliza was knowledgeable and claimed to be thick-skinned, her pink face turned red after being teased like this, "Are you so pretty? Who pretends to be asleep and looks at you? I think that with your dead character, you probably can't sleep."
Ye Qiu didn't say much after hearing this, and smiled, "You're going to know me."
Eliza spitted at him in anger, but could see that he had made a decision.
In fact, no matter what Ye Qiu decides to do, she will definitely support him
It’s not that she is very blind and lacks opinion, but because she knows very well that what Ye Qiu decides will not be changed easily, and once Ye Qiu decides to do something, he will definitely do everything he can to do well and will definitely succeed.
The team's bus was outside the waiting hall of Heathrow Airport. The players, coaching staff and staff all got on the bus. In addition, the players' families and relatives got on other pick-up and drop-off cars, or some Yu Qian drove by themselves and left Heathrow Airport in separate ways.
The journey back to Cobham from Heathrow Airport was quieter.
The weather today is not very good, the clouds are thick and a little cloudy, especially when leaving London, it feels like it is after sunset in the evening, but the golden sunshine penetrates through the gaps of the clouds makes people feel a vigorous vitality, as if it is hope.
"I'll say something later"
When the team arrived at the Cobham training base, Ye Qiu said to the players in the parking lot.
The players didn't take it too seriously. All the games of this season have ended. Maybe Ye Qiu just wanted to say a few words of parting, cheer for the team, and prepare for next season, so they dispersed.
The coaching team was disbanded later, but Ye Qiu told Roland that he would let his core coaching team come to his office for a meeting ten minutes later, which surprised Roland a little. He asked what was going on?
"It's okay." Ye Qiu patted Roland's shoulder, his expression seemed to be sighing. Fatty Luo was getting fatter and fatter.
If there should be one in every story that can always bring help to the protagonist and support the protagonist selflessly, then there is no doubt that Roland, who has followed him all the way since the Ajax Youth Team, is the fat man in his story, so Ye Qiu can't hide anything from Roland.
When he arrived at the second floor, he entered the office, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and took a cold shower and shaved his beard. When Ye Qiu came out again, the core coaching team members were already here and sat on the sofa in the hospitality area of his office.
"Sit more, you always say that the sofa in my office is not soft or hard, so sit more, otherwise," Ye Qiu walked over and closed the door, but said with a smile.
Speaking of sofas, it is indeed the most expensive set in Ye Qiu's office. It is not too soft or too hard, and it is just right to sit up.
But his sudden words made the six people present look unconcealed in surprise.
"What? Are you really?" Although Teng Carter has only worked with Ye Qiu for two seasons and is considered a latecomer, Ye Qiu relies very much on him, and his ability is undoubtedly unquestionable. He quickly established his position in this coaching staff, and he is not stupid. He should be clear about the rumors outside over the past period of time.
As soon as Tengcart said this, the other four people except Roland suddenly became concerned.
They and Ye Qiu are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they all prosper. If Ye Qiu really doesn't let go, they will also be laid off.
"I'm very tired," Ye Qiu sighed softly, "In the past year, I found that I could not devote all my energy to football. I had to always be careful to deal with some pressures that didn't require me to cope with. I still have to be ready at any time. I don't know what the reporter will tell me about something I don't know at all."
When he said this, Ye Qiu smiled and seemed to be very open-minded. "Since everyone no longer trusts each other, it doesn't matter if I continue to stay, so I decided to go to Stamford Bridge later and I will terminate the contract with them."
Everyone present was not too surprised, just a little surprised.
It was reported from the outside that Abramovich signed an agreement with AC Milan for the introduction of Shevchenko, and Ye Qiu was destined to make a choice. He either took the initiative to make concessions and let Shevchenko join the team or left, because Abramovich could not break the contract, so he would have to compensate AC Milan for UU ten thousand euros of the breach of the contract.
This is actually a chess move, a chess move that Abramovich forced Ye Qiu to give in.
But the problem is that Ye Qiu has always been a weak person but not a tough person. The reason why he did not abandon the wealthy family after he decided to leave Ajax was because he couldn't stand the domineering behavior of the wealthy families, so he called for money and time, and he wanted to build another wealthy family. He also brought Chelsea to the present level in the past two years.
Now, in addition to the accumulation of time and foundation, it is basically correct to say that Chelsea is a wealthy family.
Abramovich has another move, that is Avran Grant.
On the surface, the Israelis are just here to be a technical director who is short, but this position has already caused quite a lot of disputes in the Premier League and even in European clubs. Many teams, even the giant teams, have such power struggles.
From the day Avran Grant came to Cobham, this matter was destined to have a result as soon as possible. It was because Ye Qiu took into account the team's preparations for the whole season and refused to send it. Otherwise, he would have resigned on the spot at Stamford Bridge that day.
The coaching staff was not surprised by what Ye Qiu wanted now, but was surprised that he was not willing to wait for a moment.
"What are you going to do? Where to leave Chelsea?" Roland had never heard Ye Qiu mention this.
Ye Qiu shook his head, "Don't get me wrong, I never thought of hiding it from you. What I think, you all know, I haven't decided where to go yet, but I want to take a break, maybe a year, maybe shorter, maybe longer, I don't know."
When the six people present immediately looked at each other and could see the loss in their hearts.
Even like Teng Carter, who used to coach independently, after being an assistant to Ye Qiu, the gains they gained were significantly more abundant, whether in terms of salary or fame and fortune.
At least, when he was the head coach, who knew Teng Carter? But now when everyone talks about Teng Carter, they know that he is Ye Qiu's right-hand man. If Ye Qiu resigns now and becomes free, he should not worry about not having a next home, and a club should invite him.
The same experience is also the same as Roland, Monitz, Mullensteen, Frans Hawke and Peter Brandt. They will not have no place to go, and even Chelsea may keep them because these people are now hot talents.
After all, like all walks of life in other society, the scariest thing is talent.
"It's better to take a break." Roland nodded constantly, a little disappointed. In the past few years, he has been fighting side by side with Ye Qiu. Now Ye Qiu says he wants to rest, and he doesn't know what he wants to do.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back again, and when I come back, I will not go to anyone, any team, no matter how outstanding he is, I will not go to work for them again."
When Ye Qiu said this, the six people present all lit up when they heard this, as if they were all excited by Ye Qiu's words.
"I decided to buy my own football club," Ye Qiu said with confidence.
"Buy your own football club?" Roland was a little disappointed. How much does it cost?
After Ye Qiu came to Chelsea, his salary and bonuses were a considerable amount every year. Abramovich gave Ye Qiu more than 10 million euros last year because Ye Qiu led the team to win the Premier League and the Champions League, but this year it was relatively small, but he also won three championships and the bonus would not be small.
But for Ye Qiu, what he really earned the most was not just bonuses and salary income, but also some advertising and sponsorship contracts Eliza received for him outside. It is expected that the income in this area in this year will not be less than what he received from Chelsea.
But even so, it is not easy to acquire a football club, it is definitely a astronomical amount.
Ye Qiu himself knew this very well. If the Premier League was not as famous as it is in the early century, a Premier League club at that time might have had tens of millions of euros, but at that time he had no money at all and had accumulated his experience in Ajax. But when he wanted to take action, a Premier League club now costs at least over 100 million.
The investment will definitely not be less than the purchase price. In other words, if you use 100 million to acquire a football club, you have to always be ready to invest another 100 million to operate and support the team to strengthen their strength, and this does not take into account the club's debt problem.
Several hundred million, in the eyes of Roland and others, that is definitely an astronomical figure.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back within one or two years." Ye Qiu patted Roland's shoulder with confidence, "So, when you negotiate a contract with others, you have to leave a back door for me. When I come back, we will build a wealthy team that belongs entirely to our own."
Everyone is used to this combination and knows each other well. Ye Qiu really hopes that when he comes back, they can still gather around him and fight side by side with him.
Of course, Ye Qiu also said that if they have the opportunity to better and better display their abilities, then they should also find their dreams and fulfill their wishes. Ye Qiu will definitely give support and blessings.
The coaching team and Ye Qiu are both friends, and they have phone calls and make an appointment to keep in touch at all times. When Ye Qiu mentioned that if anyone of them wants to stay at Chelsea and he is willing to help talk about it, none of his core coaching team chose to stay, but instead advanced and retreated with Ye Qiu, which touched Ye Qiu a little.
Because at Chelsea, they may not be able to receive high salaries when they lead other teams, especially Roland, who said he would return to Ajax, but the salary Ajax could pay him may not be half as much as Chelsea.
Friends are intimate, there is no need to say much.
After Ye Qiu finished telling the coaching staff that he wanted to leave, he took the coaching staff to the conference room.
The players gathered here. When they saw Ye Qiu and the coaching staff appearing one by one, many people felt that things were not going well, and Ye Qiu did not hide the slightest idea of leaving Chelsea.
"I feel very honored to be able to coach this team and lead you all. I am very happy and proud of the past two seasons. I am proud to have spent these two years with you, because, in my mind, you will always be the best and strongest."
After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled a little bitterly, "I used to think that I would be here for a long time and I would continue to fight side by side with everyone, but I am really sorry, I can't continue to walk with everyone, but please believe that I will always be your most loyal fan and friend."
"I hope that this time leaving will not affect our friendship. I also hope that you can still call me if you have anything, or ask me out for tea and dinner as you did in the future."
Ye Qiu finally stood on the podium and bent down deeply at all the Chelsea first-team players present, "Thank you for your support and affirmation to me in the past two years. Without you, there would be no me today, and there would be no Chelsea today, thank you."
"Head" Drogba was the first to run out. His leg injury had not healed yet and he was walking a little strange.
Ye Qiu patted Drogba on the shoulder, "It has nothing to do with you, it's my own decision."
That's it, but in fact everyone understands that the disagreement between Ye Qiu and Abramovich started with Shevchenko, and after Avran Grant came to Kobham, everyone was mentally prepared enough for this.
"This earth will not stop rotating because of missing someone. If I leave, there will definitely be a world-renowned coach coming soon. You all have to be careful and work harder. Don't smash my signboards, and don't make people laugh at the players I brought out for being weak, do you know?" Ye Qiu said very freely.
Watching Ye Qiu leave the conference room, all the Chelsea players present showed a hint of confusion in their eyes.
Perhaps, many of them were mentally prepared for Ye Qiu's departure. After all, even the technical director was airborne. With their understanding of Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu could not bear this breath. It would be good to be able to endure it until now.
Their confusion is more about their future. Ye Qiu, who trusts and supports them, has left. The new head coach will definitely bring him new tactical ideas and ideas, and will introduce a group of new players. What should they do then? Where should they go? Can they continue to serve as the main force at Chelsea?
The players trusted and cultivated by Ye Qiu, including Drogba, Davis, Ribery, Messi, Fabregas, Van Persie, and other players, will inevitably feel a little nervous and uneasy.
