Chapter 237 The Premier League Is About to Change!
What's the saying?
Oh, by the way, beggars crossing the street have a lot of luggage.
I really don't pay attention to it at ordinary times. I always feel that I don't have much. I just have a few changes of clothes and some odds and ends. I just pack it up and twist it, and then I can move.
But Ye Qiu never expected that there would be so much luggage sent from Amsterdam that he had to admire his wife's wisdom and foresight. A special storage room was opened on the second floor to store those bits and pieces. Otherwise, it must occupy a room on the third floor.
After returning disappointed from Monaco, Ye Qiu started busy moving after returning to London.
During the two-week national team match day, he had a total of one week's rest, so he originally thought that he could easily complete the moving task, but this person was not as good as God, and he moved day by day, and it seemed that it was really difficult. not enough.
Naturally, you need to tidy up and clean before moving. After moving, you need to add furniture and appliances.
Ye Qiu has two houses in Xiamen, one is rented out by his parents, and the other is a single-family villa on Huandao Road. The furniture is all solid wood furniture, because solid wood furniture is very cheap now, compared to how much it will cost ten years later. The astonishing price tag of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands seems to be too cheap now.
Moreover, one advantage of solid wood furniture is that even if Ye Qiu and the others are away from home all year round, they will be fine and don't have to worry about decay.
But it was different in London. Huang Chu wanted a more modern feel, so he spent a lot of time choosing furniture, especially the large bed, which was custom-made. He tried it out on the first night after moving in. After taking a look, I found that it felt really good, and there was also a semi-open swimming pool, which was so impressive.
Ye Qiu doesn't like to set up a home theater at home like others. He doesn't really like watching movies at home. He doesn't feel like it.
He likes to have nothing to do. He takes his wife to the cinema to watch movies, which has an atmosphere. It doesn't feel like home, and it usually takes about half a year for a blockbuster movie to be released. For Ye Qiu, who is a loyal movie fan, he must be greedy. died, so he ended up not opening a dedicated home theater.
Once the door is closed, the entire villa seems to be a small independent world. There is no need to worry about being peeped or harassed. This makes Ye Qiu, who has been staying in the hotel for the past two or three months, relax.
Huang Chu took a few days off to move, and was going to work today. She got up early in the morning, and ended up waking up Ye Qiu, who had most of his body pressed against her.
Although he didn't sleep enough, Ye Qiu seemed to be in a good mood because Eliza called him last night and the transfer deal he had been preparing for a long time could finally be signed. This made him in a good mood throughout the morning. .
"Seeing how successful you are, have you found a treasure?" Huang Chu glared at him angrily.
"Don't tell me, I really found a treasure!" Ye Qiu smiled, and then tilted his head sadly, "Should we inform Wenger first? I wonder if he will go crazy. Woolen cloth?"

Wenger's mornings are always spent with his daughter Lily.
Many people have the impression of him as a stereotyped, unsmiling old scholar, but when it comes to his daughter, Wenger can never put on a serious expression, because she is only 6 years old, still very young, but very cute.
"Dad, you promised to take me to cycling lessons this morning!" When Lily saw her father coming downstairs, she immediately danced and cheered. She is a very lively and charming little girl, very lovable.
"Okay, you have to eat your breakfast obediently first!" Wenger said with a smile, and then walked to the living room, sat down, turned on the TV, and watched the news. This is one thing he must do every morning, that is, watch sports. station's morning news.
Although the Internet is very popular now, and online information is faster and more convenient. It is said that the young guy from Chelsea even brought a laptop into the stadium, but Wenger still doesn't like using computers. He feels that computers can't replace what TV gives him. This feeling, so what he must watch every day is the TV news and the newspaper on the table.
The U17 World Youth Championship has just concluded in Finland. The Brazilian team defeated Spain 1:0 and finally won the U17 World Youth Championship. This event did not attract the attention of many European teams because most of the participants were He is a player of a lower age group and does not receive much attention. Not many people take him seriously.
The key reason why Wenger attaches great importance to this event is that he is paying attention to Francisco Fabregas, Spain's leading scorer, but his nickname, Cesc, appears more in the media.
This player from Barcelona's youth team plays in a very advanced position in the current Spanish team and has excellent scoring ability. He is Spain's leading scorer. He scored 5 goals and 1 assist in the World Youth Championship. , won the Golden Boot Award and was also the most valuable player of this event.
Originally, a total of 3 players in this event scored 5 goals, but according to the regulations, the player with less playing time won the award. Fabregas had less playing time than the other two opponents, so he won the top scorer and the most valuable player. Two awards for value players.
This also made Wenger more certain about Fabregas' future. He felt that the Spaniard had an excellent overall view and ability to read the game. You know, skills can be further honed and awareness can be slowly accumulated and cultivated, but the overall situation The ability to watch and read the game is an obstacle that many people cannot break through in their lifetime.
how to say?
A player with excellent game reading ability and awareness, he can clearly understand the situation around him at any time and at any time, as if he has a natural perspective that allows him to overlook the court from mid-air, just as he is playing the game, or It's as clear as watching the video.
Many people have this ability, such as Real Madrid's Raul, who also has an excellent ability to read the game.
Wenger believes that Cesc Fabregas has a chance to become the second Raul, but the specific development needs to be seen again, because playing a shadow forward now just means that the most suitable position for him at this stage is the shadow forward. As for him, he has matured. After that, we need to slowly investigate where the best location is.
In addition to Fabregas, there is another person in Barcelona's La Masia that Wenger admires very much. He made a special trip to Barcelona before to focus on inspecting these two players, and that is Leo Messi.
The Argentinian is short and thin, but his skills are very, very good. Franny Caguigao, Arsenal's scout in Spain, has a very high evaluation of both of them and believes that both of them can become the top players. He suggested that Wen Gerard should hurry up and sign them and bring them to Highbury Stadium.
Wenger personally went to Spain to inspect the two players. Among them, he did not care much about Messi because the Argentine was not qualified to apply for a labor certificate. Of course, if Ferguson and Ye Qiu said Yes, if the special genius clause is successful, it is possible.
But the problem is that the Argentine is too short and thin, and Wenger feels that it is difficult for this person to adapt to the fierce competition in the Premier League.
On the contrary, it is Fabregas. Wenger believes that this Spaniard has excellent passing skills, solid shooting ability, outstanding overall view and ability to read the game. He will be an outstanding talent.
Wenger has invited Fabregas's parents to London and hopes they can come and take a look at Arsenal. However, whether to sign the player or not, Wenger still has to wait for scouts to find out more about Fabregas' Finnish World Youth. If the evaluation of this report is good enough, then he will sign it.
This is also part of Arsenal's scouting system, because even if Fabregas wins the Golden Boot Award and the Most Valuable Player of the World Youth Championship, this does not necessarily mean how good he is. At best, it can only be said that he is the best player at this stage. What will happen to the best among his peers in the future depends on his sustainable development potential and future talent.
But Wenger is very optimistic about this player and believes that he will be what Arsenal needs.
Thinking of this, Wenger picked up his mobile phone and called the club's chief scout Steve Lawley, asking him about the scouting department's inspection report on Cesc Fabregas, and said that when he returns to the team tomorrow Watch it in the shortest possible time.
"Don't worry, Arsene, he can join Arsenal anytime and anywhere as long as you want!"
Steve Lawley's assurance made Wenger feel comfortable, so the Frenchman who was in a good mood turned off the TV, walked to the restaurant, watched his daughter Lily finish breakfast, and then the father and daughter took the children's bicycle out. Home door.
Although Lily is only 6 years old, she is not short and can learn to ride a bicycle very quickly. However, children are timid and are afraid of falling. They always like to have a trusted adult watching from the side, while Wenger is an old girl, so he is right. Lily doted on her very much and would learn to ride a bicycle with her whenever she had time.
Different from the clumsy way she learned to ride a few months ago, Lily can now ride alone, but she still coquettishly wants her father to follow her. Fortunately, she doesn't ride fast, and Wenger can keep up if he walks quickly.
This scene was seen by Ye Qiu, who was having nothing to do at home after sending Huang Chu to work. A song came to his mind for no reason, "Bicycle" by Eason Chan, which was a song he liked very much.
It's hard to leave and I want to hold on tighter. The vast life is like a wilderness. How can a child lie on his father's shoulder, even if the road is long and steep?
There are always some things that are hard to leave and hard to leave. Human nature is so unavoidable. No matter how cruel the world is, thinking of this bicycle, there is still happiness to be borrowed!
I still remember that the lyricist Huang Weiwen said in an interview that he wrote this song to complain about his father, thinking that his father was a very traditional Chinese father who did not communicate much and did not care enough about his son. The only profound memory left to him is the feeling of riding a bicycle as a child.
But Ye Qiu believes that everyone who listens to this song will not feel that it is a condemnation. Instead, there is a very deep praise in their hearts, praising his father's kind of love that is difficult to express. It can even be extended to him. In fact, many Chinese-style parents are also praised. Many people may feel that they do not communicate enough with their children, but there is no need to doubt their love for their children.
So at this moment, when he saw Wenger accompanying his daughter to learn to ride a bicycle, he suddenly remembered this song and smiled knowingly, because he couldn't help but think that if he had children in the future, he would also It will be like Wenger.
"Uncle, good morning!" When passing by the door of Ye Qiu's house, the little girl with a ponytail smiled and waved to Ye Qiu.
His riding skills were not good, but this wave of his hand caused the bicycle to lose control and fall down.
Ye Qiu was startled and rushed forward, "Are you okay?"
"Does it hurt from the fall, Lily?" Wenger also rushed up quickly.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ye Qiu looked at the little girl's knees and legs and smiled reassuringly.
"It's okay, Dad." Little Lily smiled and looked at Ye Qiu, "Uncle, do you live here?"
"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded, "Come and play when you have time."
"Okay!" Little Lily agreed with a smile, stood up again, stepped on the bicycle, and continued to set off.
Wen Ge looked at Ye Qiu, who seemed to have left a good impression on his daughter, and frowned, "Nothing good will happen when I meet you, bad luck!"
When Ye Qiu heard this, he immediately laughed, "Please, I live across from you, and I'm unlucky to see your coffin face all day long!"
"Then please don't let me see it in the future!" Wenger also said harshly.
"I never expected that a person as small as you could have such a good daughter. What a pity, what a pity!" Ye Qiu shook his head and walked home, thinking that he should give his parents a call.
He was young and ignorant before, and didn't understand the kindness of his parents. Now he has grown up and has a family and a career. When he sees Wenger and his daughter like this, he can't help but think of his own parents and Huang Chu's parents. He should call them. Be concerned, even if you just ask Huang Jinsong, has he taken his blood pressure these days?
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, because he found that he seemed to be a little sentimental.
Wenger didn't pay attention to Ye Qiu who closed the door, but walked forward because he found his daughter stopped at the door of David Dunn's house next door, seeming to be talking to David Dunn.
"Go ride a bike, Lily, let me say a few words to your father!" David Dunn said with a smile when he saw Wenger approaching.
"Be careful, Lily!" Wenger warned with concern.
Watching their daughter leave, David Dunn and Wenger stood at the door of their home.
It's strange to say that they are similar in age and have similar personalities, but there is a big gap between their children. Wenger's daughter is only 6 years old, and she can almost be David Dunn's granddaughter. No wonder Ye Qiu misjudged her. I wonder why Wenger is still angry about this?
"Steve just called me and said you didn't bring your cell phone." David Dunn said.
Wenger touched his pocket and found that he really didn't have it with him. He shook his head and said, "I forgot it at home!"
David Dunn sighed, "Did you just meet Ye Qiu? Did you say anything?"
"No!" Wenger felt unhappy when he mentioned this person, "It's bad luck to see him!"
David Dunn burst out laughing, "It's really unlucky. I just received the news that Francisco Fabregas and Leo Messi, the ones you are interested in, have both come to London."
"Oh?" Wenger was immediately overjoyed after hearing this, but soon realized something was wrong because he didn't invite Messi at all.
David Dunn knew Wenger very well. As soon as he saw his face, he knew that he had noticed it and nodded, "Yes, he didn't come to our Arsenal, but to Chelsea next door!"
Wenger was mentally prepared, so he wasn't too surprised. The two were just boys with a bit of talent, and they hadn't surprised him yet. Arsenal had been poaching capable rookies like Cesc Fabregas and Messi in recent years. In his eyes, they are just two of the more outstanding ones.
But the fat that reached his mouth was snatched away. Wenger's mood was similar to that of Ye Qiu a few days ago. Fortunately, he was still secretly proud in his heart at that time, laughing at Ye Qiu's fatness. He was robbed, but now he also felt as depressed as Ye Qiu did at the beginning, wishing he could stab him to death with that knife.
"When did this kid fall in love with them?" Wenger said in a somewhat unkind tone.
"I don't know. Maybe I already took a fancy to Ajax. I heard that this time he directly promised to join the team and play with the first team. He will play in the professional league within a year. This kid's level of poaching is really extraordinary. He is everywhere. Digging, and they all found treasures!" David Dunn had to be convinced.
Judging from the performance in the first four rounds at the beginning of the season, it is also a four-game winning streak. Chelsea is better than Arsenal because they have not conceded a goal so far. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this aspect is the frontcourt of this team. The almost suffocating high-intensity pressure and control capabilities, as well as the combination of the defense.
Cannavaro's performance at Inter Milan was sluggish for a year. Many people felt that luring him to Stamford Bridge with a high salary would be a loss-making deal. But judging from these four rounds of games, his partnership with Terry Very good, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, one in charge and one in defense, the two of them cooperate very well.
Cannavaro is very experienced, and Terry is very familiar with the Premier League and has a very strong aerial ability. The partnership between the two has shown results. The captain of the Italian national team even put Gallas on the bench.
"It seems like he plans to stay at Chelsea for a long time!" Wenger has no doubts about Ye Qiu's ability to poach players and inspect players. He even feels that Ye Qiu's ability to judge and predict players is better than his own. Excellent, he had no doubt about it.
It's just that this person is unhappy.
"Yeah!" David Dunn also thinks so, because if Ye Qiu doesn't plan to stay for a long time, why bother with Chelsea's youth training? You must know that both Cesc Fabregas and Messi are players who cannot be the main players in a short time. Ye Qiu's introduction of these two players proves that his vision is not just about the present.
Sometimes I think about it, this man is indeed very capable. He spent more than 100 million euros to immediately build a powerful team for Chelsea that dominates the Premier League. But at the same time, he is also actively working for the future. Be prepared, because the current Chelsea first team requires players who can compete, but in another year or two, the strength of Davis, Makelele, Cannavaro and others will definitely decline, and it will be him by then When youth training shows results.
Fabregas and Messi should be just the first step in Ye Qiu's plan, right?
"It seems that his arrival will really change the Premier League!" David Dunn said with some worry.
If Ye Qiu really leads Chelsea to rise strongly, the biggest challenge will be Arsenal, because in the next few years, Arsenal will be heavily in debt due to the new stadium. There is no way to invest heavily in signings, and the team's strength will be affected to some extent. Chelsea will break the pattern of the Premier League.
Wenger didn't say anything. He didn't doubt David Dunn's judgment, but his eyes were somewhat excited about finding an opponent and a new excitement point.
