Chapter 285 The Best Twelfth Person
Ribery stood up from the bench, clenched his fists, and immediately heard the sound of bones cracking from his elbows.
After taking a deep breath, he turned and ran to the open space on the left, warming up on his own.
He had forgotten how many times he had run out to warm up in this game. He always kept his body in a state of readiness, because during the halftime break, Ye Qiu told him that he was the killer in this game.
The best 12th player, this was not said by Ye Qiu himself, nor was it Ribery's self-promotion, but was given by the media and reporters.
At the beginning of the second half, Porto's counterattack was a bit fierce. At that time, Ribery thought he was going to play, so he kept warming up. Unexpectedly, Chelsea's counterattack directly beat Porto to pieces and scored another goal. There was not much suspense in the game.
"Is there still a chance for me to play?" Ribery looked up while jogging, looking at the dazzling stadium lights, thinking.
Above him, his parents, family, relatives and friends all came to the scene. His father, who liked to show off, gave away dozens of tickets. They came to the scene not to see Ribery sitting on the bench, but to see Ribery have a chance to appear on the stage.
If he didn't play, his father would be very disappointed, right?
After running back and forth until his body was warm and sweaty, Ribery returned to the coaching area, took a few breaths, and walked to his position.
"Frank!"
At this time, assistant coach Roland Shepas ran over quickly and waved at him, "Boss, calling you!"
Ribery immediately turned around and took two steps at a time. He knew that he was going to play.
"Boss!" Ribery walked to Ye Qiu's side. He was a head shorter than Ye Qiu.
"Warm up, three minutes, quick!" Ye Qiu always spoke quickly when arranging things during the game, because all his attention was on the game, and he had to grasp every detail and change that happened in the game.
Roland, who was on the side, was used to cooperating with Ye Qiu. After listening to Ye Qiu's words, he put his arm around Ribery's shoulder and was about to take him away.
"I just came back from warming up, boss, you can go anytime!" Ribery didn't follow Roland, but said to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu turned his head at this time, glanced at Scarface, and smiled, "It seems you are prepared, kid!"
Roland laughed and patted Ribery's shoulder hard, thinking that this kid was knowledgeable and had a future.
"Did you notice the left back of Porto?" Ye Qiu asked Ribery to come to his side.
"Well, Nuno Valente!" Ribery was not unfamiliar with him, because before the game, Ye Qiu had handed him a detailed profile of Nuno Valente, and also attached a video, asking him to study Nuno Valente thoroughly, so he was not unfamiliar with this person.
Nuno Valente, who is about to turn 30, is the kind of full-back that Mourinho prefers. He has a solid defensive ability, but his wing assist ability is average and his speed is not fast. He is a team-oriented defensive player. He has followed Mourinho since Leiria and is also a defender trusted by the Portuguese madman.
"Yes, he has a yellow card on his back!" Ye Qiu reminded concisely.
This yellow card was received not long after the start of the first half. From the moment Valente received this yellow card, Ye Qiu knew in his heart that Porto's left side would become the focus of Chelsea's attack, which is his trump card.
If the score was still 1:0, Ye Qiu would use this killer move to directly defeat the opponent, but since it was already 2:0 ahead, Ye Qiu didn't mind adding icing on the cake and completely defeating Porto to save him from the trouble.
"I know what to do!" Ribery nodded.
Ye Qiu never encouraged players to commit fouls or create fouls. His meaning was very clear. Valente already had a yellow card and Porto had used up three substitutions, so Valente's next move would be as small as possible, and he would even try to avoid some actions that were vaguely defined between fouls and no fouls.
The result of a timid defender encountering a player with super one-on-one ability can be imagined.
If Ye Qiu didn't have Ribery, he would have replaced Ronaldinho to the right and then pushed Maicon up, but now that he had Ribery, he didn't have to do that. He could just push Ribery up and let him and Ronaldinho fly together.
Ribery quickly went to the fourth official to complete the procedure, and stood on the sidelines. In the 69th minute, he waited for a dead ball opportunity and finally got a chance to play.
The moment he stepped into the stadium, he felt as if he had walked into the ocean. The feeling of being surrounded by tens of thousands of fans was something that could not be felt standing on the sidelines. Only when you walk into this stadium under such a high profile, you can feel this feeling.
It will make your heart beat faster, make your blood heat up rapidly, and make you feel like you are ignited.
Looking back, he glanced at the crowded Chelsea fans' stands. He didn't have enough time to carefully see where his parents, his wife, family, relatives and friends were sitting, but he had a feeling that they were all staring at him and they wanted to see his outstanding performance!
"Don't worry, I won't let you down!" Ribery raised his head and prayed.
"After Chelsea took a 2:0 lead, they made a substitution. Ye Qiu used the 21-year-old French teenager Frank Ribery to replace Edgar Davis, who performed well in this game!"
"Wild Boar Davis has performed very well since joining Chelsea this season. He is defined by Ye Qiu as a crucial member of the team's midfield, and Davis has also thoroughly proved his strength through his outstanding performance this season. I don't know if Moggi and Lippi will regret sending the Dutchman to Stamford Bridge at such a low price after seeing Davis' outstanding performance, but there is no doubt that the person who should be most thanked for Davis' rebirth is Ye Qiu!"
"Frank Ribery, an amateur player from Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, according to the description of the French reporter, Ribery He had never had any professional league experience before. He was from Lille, but was kicked out. He has been playing in the third-tier league in France since then. He was once unemployed and was forced to return to his hometown of Boulogne to work as a bricklayer. "
"When he was in the most difficult time, Ye Qiu personally came to invite him to Stamford Bridge. Then I heard from the security guards at Stamford Bridge that Ribery ran to Stamford Bridge alone in the middle of the night to find Ye Qiu. After that, he successfully became a signed professional player of Chelsea. He performed very well this season and was praised by the outside world as Chelsea's best twelfth player!"
"We have to see whether Ye Qiu will continue to strengthen the wing attack after replacing Davis with Ribery? What kind of... will it bring to Porto..."
"Oh, Deco passed the ball, Ribery pulled to the right to get the ball, facing Valverde Lent's defense..."
"Beautiful!!! Ribery made a very beautiful stop and turned around, leaving Valente behind. He was very explosive and approached the penalty area. Carvalho came up to intercept him immediately."
"Stop suddenly, accelerate suddenly, Ribery used his speed advantage to pass Carvalho and cross the ball!"
"The ball fell to the front point, Drogba, the ball went in!!!!"
"Oh my God, Frank Ribery, the first touch after coming on the court, directly created Chelsea's third goal of the game, from the Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba's close-range header at the front point, 3:0!"
"Porto could not withstand the strong offensive pressure from Chelsea. Valente was responsible for this goal. He let Ribery get rid of it too easily. His own defense, he looked as if his hands and feet were tied up. "
"We noticed that Valente had already received a yellow card in this game, and he was obviously affected by this yellow card. Ye Qiu's substitution was very targeted, and he obviously saw this. The current situation is very unfavorable for Porto. They have used up 3 substitutions, but now Valente is carrying a yellow card and is obviously in a very embarrassing situation! "
"Frank Ribery, after coming on the court, he performed very well. From stopping the ball to getting rid of the turn, the whole process showed his skilled footwork, and the subsequent acceleration made people surprised at his explosive power. Carvalho was directly passed by his sudden stop acceleration. He made us involuntarily think of a person, Arjen Robben! "
Chelsea's players kept hugging and cheering on the sidelines. 3:0, the game was obviously over!
Chelsea fans in the stands were very surprised and full of surprises. If they had only watched the first half an hour, they would never have guessed that the game would be so full of twists and turns, and they would never have thought that Chelsea would explode like this.
"This is Porto's head coach Jose Mourinho. He vowed before the game that he would definitely beat Chelsea, but from the whole game process, he was obviously not as experienced as Ye Qiu. In this game, whether he was arranging troops or commanding on the spot, he was obviously suppressed by Ye Qiu. He had no resistance and was directly dragged away by Ye Qiu. "
"Both of them are famous young coaches in Europe. Relatively speaking, Ye Qiu is younger, but when it comes to leading a team to play in the Champions League, Ye Qiu is obviously more experienced, because he has already won a Champions League trophy at Ajax. This is his second time in the Champions League final in two consecutive years. He may even become the first head coach to defend the Champions League since the reform of the Champions League, although he leads two different teams. ”
After celebrating wildly on the sidelines, Drogba knelt on one knee, pulled Ribery's right foot and put it on his other thigh, and used his jersey to help Ribery wipe his boots. It was obviously a way to thank Ribery for his assist, so that the main center forward of Chelsea could resolve his embarrassment.
Recently, there have been rumors that the team will introduce Shevchenko to further strengthen the attacking power of the front line. Among them, Drogba's low goal efficiency is the reason why many Chelsea fans are dissatisfied. However, in this game, Drogba wasted opportunities several times. Until this time, he used his best header to knock on Porto's goal.
The goal in the Champions League final should be able to appropriately alleviate Drogba's dilemma!
"3:0, although there are still 20 minutes left in the game, we can already judge in advance. If there is no accident, it is impossible for Porto to reverse the situation. Chelsea has a very high possibility of winning the Champions League!" the on-site commentator gave his own judgment.
Mourinho's face on the sidelines was a bit scary because he discovered that he had made some mistakes. One of the obvious points was that he revealed his trump card too quickly and exposed his trump card to his opponents too early. It is tantamount to seeking death.
Looking back at Ye Qiu, from being patient for half an hour after the start, to choosing an opportunity to explode at the last moment, to counterattacking in the second half, and putting the last trump card Ribery to the end, and now Chelsea has two substitutions in hand, if the situation If there were any changes, Ye Qiu could still adjust to the situation.
But now, I can't adjust it anymore!
In the final analysis, I have been more or less motivated from the beginning of the game!
"This Ye Qiu is indeed a born winner and a genius!!!"
In the VIP box at Schalke Stadium, Abramovich was so happy after Drogba scored the third goal. When the team had already won the Premier League championship, he was already excited about this season. He was very satisfied with the team's results, but what he didn't expect was that Ye Qiu would surprise him with more than just the Premier League championship.
Champions League! This is the first Champions League in London football history!
As you can imagine, the whole of London will go crazy because of Chelsea's Champions League win!
Pini Zahavi's smile was somewhat bitter, because the more prosperous Ye Qiu is, the more disappointed he is, because Abramovich will rely more on Ye Qiu. Sometimes he even thinks that he would rather Ye Qiu If Qiu is unlucky, he will be even happier.
Shevchenko also appeared in the box. When he watched the game, he was obviously excited. He did not have as many complicated thoughts as Pini Zahavi. He was more envious. If at this moment, he If he is a Chelsea player, then he will win the first Champions League championship in his life, and then he will be closer to his dream.
He was paying more and more attention to Chelsea, and under his attention, he had to admit that Ye Qiu's team was very capable. If he went to Chelsea, he would have Ronaldinho, Deco and Lampard behind him. If these teammates support and pass the ball for him, his performance will definitely be even better than in AC Milan, and his goals will definitely be comparable to top strikers in the Premier League such as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Henry.
But now he can't reveal this kind of thoughts. In fact, he didn't even dare to let people know that he came to Schalke Stadium to watch the final, because he still belongs to AC Milan for the time being. Therefore, even if Abramovich tries every means It showed Chelsea's affection for him, but he still had to maintain a kind of reserve and distance.
However, the situation of the other person in the box was very different. Without him, Abramovich would have arranged to watch the game in the business class, but because of Frank Arnesen's invitation, he chose to watch the game in the business class. box.
Because he didn't want Ye Qiu to find out yet that he had too much contact with Frank Arnesen. It was said that the two were mortal enemies and had deep grudges against each other.
"He is indeed an outstanding genius, but he is also an unruly wild horse and is not controlled by the reins!"
Frank Arneson said with a sneer after receiving the hint from Pini Zahavi.
"You know, many head coaches like to come to the Premier League. They feel that the clubs here give the head coach a lot of authority. As everyone knows, this is an illusion. Now more and more teams in the Premier League have opened a new position, technical director. , the emergence of this position itself is to supervise the head coach and share the power of the head coach!”
"Oh?" Abramovich has also heard what the technical director said, but doesn't understand it very well.
"In recent years, there have been some scandals in the Premier League almost every year, and the contents are all the same. That is, the head coach is excessively involved in player transfers and takes commissions from them. Of course, if the introduced players have any impact on the team itself, The benefits are that it can help the team strengthen its strength, which is understandable, but who can guarantee this? "
"In the past, the Premier League head coach was a manager. Now more and more clubs are weakening the power that originally belonged to the manager and turning it into a coach. Even at Manchester United and Arsenal, if Ferguson and Wenger want to buy someone, they have to first follow up. David Gill and David Dunn negotiated carefully. This was the reason why Manchester United lost Ronaldinho a year ago.”
"And even leaving aside the head coach's commission, everyone's ability is limited. Ye Qiu is very accurate in judging people. He chose Ribery very well, but what about Drogba? This forward has limited scoring ability! Who can guarantee that his vision will not make mistakes in the future? And is it really a mistake or a false mistake? "
Frank Arneson’s words are obviously implying that when a person has too much power, it is often easy to breed corruption. This is unavoidable no matter who it is, and Abramovich, as a controlling person, A person who is very possessive and possessive. His principle for treating his subordinates is: No matter how much I give you, you can take it without making me unhappy. And if I don’t give it to you, don’t give it to me even a little bit. Greed, even if you are greedy for a trivial amount, I will teach you a lesson!
I have to admit that both Pini Zahavi and Frank Arneson have a very thorough understanding of this aspect of the Russian character.
"Winning this Champions League will make Ye Qiu's reputation in London, among Chelsea fans, and in the team soaring. His agent is also the agent of Ronaldinho, Van Persie, Frank Ribery, Drogba, Davis, Maicon, Van der Sar, Evra, Sun Jihai and others in the team. Recently, I heard that Deco, Terry and Lampard have also invested in this company, and there are also several young players in the youth team." Pini Zahavi's teeth hurt more and more as he spoke.
These players have all invested in the company of Eliza Moon, the Dutch woman, while he, the founding hero of Chelsea, has nothing in his hands. There are only a few players such as Joe Cole, Parker, Robert Huth, Gudjohnsen, etc. In comparison, the difference is obvious.
But some people will never clearly analyze why so many players will switch to others instead of him?
But it is obvious that Pini Zahavi and Frank Arnesen's words once again planted a seed in Abramovich's heart.
