This was the player Su Yun got after he robbed the relegated West Ham United in the summer. At that time, West Ham United's players were divided among the major Premier League teams, and Su Yun grabbed Joe Cole, an English genius.
"If there's something wrong, tell me."
This was the first time that Qiao Cole came to Su Yun alone.
Su Yun is very willing to listen to what the players have to say.
Whenever Su Yun communicates with players, he must listen to what they have to say. Therefore, Su Yun has never excluded communication with players.
Joe Cole did not say it directly, but paused for a moment. Finally, he said firmly: "Boss, I want to play."
Last game?
Su Yun understood what Joe Cole meant.
There are many players in the current Chelsea lineup. It should be said that Chelsea has the thickest bench in the entire Premier League. Neither Manchester United nor Arsenal can compare to Chelsea.
Even compared with the European giants, although Chelsea lacks absolute superstars, there are definitely many good players. This is true whether they are the main players or the substitutes. The thickness of Chelsea's team can be compared with those of the giants in European football.
There are too many good players.
So much so that Su Yun even ignored Qiao Cole.
Among the players introduced last summer, Joe Cole's transfer fee was very low. Among a lot of transfers worth more than 10 million pounds and more than 20 million pounds, Joe Cole's several million pounds is really low. .
But that doesn't mean his fame is small.
He is a talented player who has been paying attention to English football since he was fourteen or fifteen years old.
But after coming to Chelsea, Su Yun didn't give Joe Cole many opportunities. In the past few months, most of Su Yun's energy was focused on training Lucio and Joaquin.
Among the players introduced in the summer, Rosicky and Duff integrated the fastest and best.
Su Yun doesn't need to worry too much.
Only Lucio and Joaquín have a lot of problems.
And these two are the two people Su Yun values the most. They are two very important people in the future construction of the Chelsea team. Therefore, there is more concern for them, but less concern for Joe Cole.
Su Yun focused his energy on Lucio and Joaquin, and now the results are gradually getting better. Although they also have their own problems, their performance has gradually improved.
As for Joe Cole?
Maybe the cheap stuff is really worthless.
Su Yun's thoughts on Joe Cole were less than one-tenth of those of Joaquin and Lucio. It had been a season since Joe Cole came to Chelsea, and Su Yun had never had such a private conversation with him.
Su Yun thought for a moment and didn't know what to say to him.
Qiao Cole sat there and looked straight at Su Yun.
Joe Cole was very disappointed.
When he was fourteen years old, he was already a well-known player in British football because of his good skills. There was even news at the time that Ferguson was attracted to Joe Cole. This also shows the influence of Joe Cole.
In English football, fans like tough guys.
But it is precisely because there are very few technical players in English football, so as long as one appears, he will be highly praised. Just like Gascoigne.
And Joe Cole.
In British football, Joe Cole and Owen are both representatives of talented players who became famous at a young age.
When he came to Chelsea, he found himself marginalized.
Even among the substitutes, he is ranked at the bottom. Kewell, Zenden, Boboski, Parker, Gudjohnsen, Hasselbaink. They are all regular substitutes for Chelsea.
And Joe Cole actually didn't have a few opportunities to play.
Just add up the games played as substitutes. Joe Cole has played less than fifteen times this season.
Almost a complete bench.
This made Joe Cole very dissatisfied.
However, he had always hoped that Su Yun would give him a chance. Because he saw how Su Yun trained Joaquin. He gave Joaquin enough patience and criticism, and finally he had the current Joaquin.
He always thought that this day would come to him.
but none.
The season is almost over, and Su Yun hasn't given himself any explanation.
Now Su Yun is at his most proud. He is also the most popular head coach in European football. Looking through the recent European football newspapers, half of the news in them is about Su Yun and Chelsea. They beat Real Madrid in two rounds.
After eight to one, Su Yun's market price surged.
It's even more true at Chelsea.
Sweeping Real Madrid, Su Yun's status in the hearts of Chelsea fans is equal to God.
And now the news is saying that Su Yun will have at least 100 million pounds in funds during the transfer period after the end of the season.
When the time comes in the transfer market, Su Yun will be able to ask for whoever he wants.
This worries Joe Cole.
He was afraid that Su Yun had completely forgotten him.
With Chelsea's current transfer fee, Joe Cole believes there will be a lot of players coming and going from Chelsea next season. He doesn't want to be the player who leaves Chelsea.
Although Joe Cole came out of the West Ham United youth training camp, he was still a Chelsea fan when he was a child. He grew up watching Chelsea games in London.
But later he went to the youth training camp of West Ham United.
He came to Chelsea this time not wanting to fail.
So he mustered up the courage to find Su Yun. He felt this was his last chance.
Su Yun felt a little sorry for Joe Cole at this time. He only valued Joaquin and Lucio, but ignored players like Joe Cole.
Behind Chelsea's glory, there is also their decline.
In fact, Su Yun does not exclude Joe Cole.
Although his potential value is only 189, Joe Cole's skills are really outstanding. Not to mention that he is outstanding in British football, even compared with players from Latin American countries, he is not inferior at all.
His ability to excel is really strong.
His feints are dazzling and very realistic. If we just look at his extraordinary ability, Joe Cole is no worse than Rosicky, Joaquin, and Boboski.
Even higher than them.
In addition, Joe Cole is a native English player and is not afraid of physical confrontation.
And Joe Cole’s body isn’t bad either.
It is also a very good chess piece when used properly. It’s just that Su Yun never knew which position should be given to Joe Cole. And Chelsea is not very short of players now. So Su Yun has always ignored Joe Cole.
Now that Su Yun has been found, Su Yun feels that he should say something.
"Where do you think your best position is?"
Joe Cole was stunned.
He really mustered up his courage today.
He still remembered how Su Yun treated Joaquin and Lucio at the beginning of the season. If Lucio hadn't admitted his mistake later, Joe Cole believed that Lucio would still be sitting on the bench.
This man is an out-and-out smiling tiger. On the surface, he seems to have a gentle personality, but once he strikes, he is absolutely ruthless.
He wanted to hear Su Yun's accurate answer.
If Su Yun tells Joe Cole that there is no place for him in his plan, then although Joe Cole is reluctant to leave Chelsea, he will never stay here shamelessly.
He just wanted to hear an accurate answer.
Unexpectedly, Su Yun asked Qiao Cole.
"I can play Frank's position."
But after a short time, Joe Cole answered immediately.
Joe Cole is the organizer of the offense at West Ham United. He believes that Lampard's position is more than enough for him.
Su Yun shook his head.
"You can't play Frank's position. Do you know why?"
Su Yun patted the table in front of him gently and said slowly: "Because your skills are so good."
Qiao Cole didn't understand what Su Yun meant.
Wouldn't it be better to have good technology? Why not.
"Because you are too obsessed with your skills." Now that Qiao Cole has found Su Yun, and Su Yun has no intention of cleaning Qiao Cole in the summer, Su Yun explained to Qiao Cole patiently.
"You know what? Frank's talent is not the best, but why is he performing so well now? Because he plays with his brain. He understands his own strengths and weaknesses."
This is definitely not Su Yun praising Lampard.
There are many people in world football who are more talented than Lampard. But there are absolutely very few who can surpass Lampard in terms of achievements. Because Lampard is a player who plays with his brain.
This is what Su Yun likes the most.
"But you? Maybe you have heard too many praises since you were a child. So that on the court you are just immersed in your own world. You don't pass the ball when it's time to pass it. You don't shoot the ball when it's time to shoot it."
"You may think it's fun to keep passing people. But for a team, I don't need this kind of player. What I need in the frontcourt is a decisive player. The pass can't be delayed, and the shot can't be hesitated.
.But you are very lacking in this aspect. You can't play Frank's position."
Su Yun's words hit Qiao Cole hard in his heart.
Qiao Cole thought that Su Yun had issued an eviction order.
He felt a little pity.
"How about Denilson's passing skills? He's better than you. But what's the result? It's useless. Do you know where he is playing now? If you don't make mistakes, you may even be worse than him."
Qiao Cole looked at Su Yun blankly.
He said with difficulty: "Boss, there is no place for me in your team, is there?"
Su Yun smiled.
"right."
Qiao Cole was really frustrated at that moment. But he didn't blame Su Yun. Qiao Cole turned around silently and prepared to leave.
And behind him, Su Yun's words rang out.
"I will never give you a chance the way you are now. But if you are willing to change, are willing to get rid of the problem of sticking to the ball, and are willing to integrate into Chelsea, then there will still be a place for you in my team."
Joe Cole turned around in surprise.
"I can give you two options now. The first option is for me to put you in the transfer market in the summer. You can choose a team by yourself. Maybe there is a team that likes your style."
Su Yun became very serious at this time.
"The second option is that you change your shortcomings. Change it according to my requirements. If you can't change it, I still won't put you in my lineup. Of course, even if you change it, I can't promise you a
The main position. You can only fight for the main position with your performance."
"Two options, you can choose one yourself."
Hearing Su Yun's words, Qiao Keer was stunned.
Looking at Su Yun, he suddenly made up his mind and said: "Tou, I am willing to stay."
Su Yun was very happy.
If Joe Cole gets rid of his shortcomings, his tactical value will still be quite high. And Su Yun also likes players who are willing to challenge.
