Chapter 286 We Are the Champions!
When Ribery once again broke through Valente, when Valente subconsciously stretched out his right hand, when Valente felt the palm of his right hand grabbing Ribery's jersey, when the devil in Valente's heart kept stopping were shouting in his ears, catch him, catch him!
The Portuguese was too tired, and his physical fitness was obviously close to collapse. He often felt that his mind went blank, especially when he saw Ribery, the shocking scar looked extremely hideous.
But sometimes, in desperation, people often act unconsciously.
When he grabbed it hard, he immediately knocked Ribery to the ground as he was passing by him. The referee Nelson's whistle also sounded unceremoniously, beep~~~
This crisp whistle made Valente's blank mind suddenly become extremely clear-headed. When he saw clearly again, he found that Ribery had fallen beside him, and the referee was looking towards him. Then he raised a yellow card, and then took out another card from his breast pocket. It was very red, like blood.
Suddenly, his head went blank again, and he took steps without knowing why.
"This is a very obvious foul. Valente's performance in the last twenty minutes was very poor. He was almost unable to restrict Frank Ribery's breakthrough from the right. We have calculated that after Ribery came on, the Frenchman's total He made 8 personal breakthroughs on the right, 6 of which were successful. Two of the failures were due to interference from Carvalho, and one of them directly resulted in Chelsea’s third goal!”
"This foul caused Valente to get a red card and be sent off the field. Porto will be forced to have one less person, but the game is also coming to an end. This has no impact on Porto, which is already 0:3 behind. Obviously, it is Chelsea who will most likely seize this opportunity and try to score again!”
After sending off Valente and getting a free kick on the right side of the penalty area, Deco stood near the penalty spot.
This is an indirect free kick. If it is a direct free kick from the front of the penalty area, Ronaldinho will take the initiative to ask for a free kick. But indirect free kicks and corner kicks are usually handed over to Deco.
Drogba, Terry, Lampard, Ronaldinho, Chelsea's top set-piece scorers all entered the attack point. Among them, Drogba and Lampard both gathered at the front point, and Ronaldinho Neo stood at the back of the center, while Terry fell behind.
Drogba, Terry and Lampard have always been Chelsea's important attacking points for set pieces, so Porto obviously targets them when defending. Moreover, Porto has relatively few tall players, and the set piece defense itself It's more of a disadvantage, and you can only rely on the number of people to achieve your goal.
So, you can see that two players set up a wall, three players went to mark Drogba and Lampard, and three players went to the back to mark Terry and Cannavaro, while watching Ronaldini. Oh, one was in the penalty area watching Ribery ambushing outside the penalty area, and the forward stayed in the frontcourt waiting for a counterattack.
Chelsea also got a lot of set-piece opportunities in this game, but they failed to produce results. Porto paid great attention to the defense of Drogba and Terry, the two high-point defenses. Jorge Costa and Carvalho always He followed them closely, and with the support of his teammates, the defense was very good.
But this time, when Deco took the free kick, Drogba and Lampard both moved, and Terry also pressed towards Carvalho, attracting the attention of Maniche who was helping Carvalho defend. Ronaldinho came over, and Ronaldinho quickly ran outside the small penalty area from where he was standing near the goal.
The ball drew an arc and landed at the edge of the small penalty area. Porto players focused on Drogba, Terry and Lampard, but missed Ronaldinho, and the goalkeeper was also beaten by Cannavaro. After some interference, the judgment was delayed.
Deco's free kick landed very comfortably. After Ronaldinho ran out, he shook his head in the direction of the goal. The ball directly hit his head, turned in a direction, and went straight into the goal. Bottom of the net, 4:0!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
“In the 87th minute, Chelsea knocked on Baia’s goal for the fourth time, with a brace from Ronaldinho, a header from Deco’s free kick, Ronaldinho scored Neo shook his head like a lion and hit the ball into Porto's goal, further expanding Chelsea's score! "
"We have always thought that Ronaldinho's technical movements with his feet are like magic, but now we should believe that this Brazilian superstar not only has magical skills with his feet, but his head skills are also unambiguous. ”
"Deco's assist was really good and comfortable. He could move the ball in one direction with just a shake of his head. Baia was also obviously interfered by Chelsea players and made a misjudgment. He didn't respond correctly." This header reacted as it should, he didn’t even make a save and watched the ball go into the net!”
"After Chelsea scored the second goal, their offensive became more and more fierce. Porto's defensive loopholes continued to expand, but Mourinho ran out of substitutions early, which directly led to his team's loss at the end. There was no effective adjustment at all, and Valente was under tremendous pressure and was sent off the field for a foul. "
"This game can really be said to be a complete defeat for Porto!"
In the analysis of the on-site commentator, the Blues fans in the stands of the Schalke Stadium had begun to sing "We are the champions" eagerly, and many fans even pulled out banners to celebrate the team's victory. Hold up the photos and avatars of the stars to show their love for this team and this group of players.
"We noticed that among the Chelsea fans at the scene, many fans were holding the heads of Lampard, Ronaldinho and other stars, but a large number of fans were also holding photos of Ye Qiu. Even we can I saw that in the square of Blues fans on the west side of the President’s Stand, fans held up cardboard to form a huge portrait of Ye Qiu.”
As the on-site commentator described it, the camera kept scanning the stadium, because while waiting for Porto to kick off again, the stands were undoubtedly more interesting than the stadium.
"Indeed, Chelsea this season is indeed very good. Not only did they win the second English top league title in the club's history with an amazing unbeaten record in the Premier League and the first in fifty years, but they also We also reached the final and slaughtered Porto 4-0.”
"The Portuguese team really didn't bring much trouble to Chelsea. The disparity in strength made it difficult for them to escape Chelsea's control. Ye Qiu's formation and strategizing further expanded Chelsea's advantage, which directly caused Throughout the game, Porto was almost passively beaten.”
When talking about this, the on-site commentator also sighed, "Before the game, many media and professionals believed that Porto was the most controversial and weakest finals team in the Champions League finals in recent years. Compared with last year's Ye Unlike Ajax, led by Qiu, who defeated powerful opponents along the way to reach the final, Porto's promotion has always been accompanied by controversy."
"Now in the Champions League final, Porto faced the powerful Chelsea, but they did not show the strength that a Champions League final team should have. I believe there will be more media doubting them after the game, but no matter what, Mourinho Rinho can lead this team from the Portuguese Super League to the Champions League final, which is a victory in itself!”
The live TV camera also showed Mourinho. The Portuguese stood very straight in front of the visiting team's coaching bench.
"There is news that Barcelona is very dissatisfied with Rijkaard and intends to change coaches. Ye Qiu and Mourinho are both candidates for Barcelona's head coach. Among them, Ye Qiu almost coached Barcelona last summer. I believe that after tonight’s game, Barcelona should be able to make a choice.”
"With this victory, Ye Qiu also became the first head coach to successfully defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League. Although he led two different teams, this is also a big deal for the Champions League. It’s like setting a record.”
The game ended with Nelson blowing the final whistle midway through Chelsea's attack.
Although Chelsea still wanted to score more goals in the last few minutes, they failed to gain anything in the end.
4:0, this score is also a big score rarely seen in the Champions League finals in recent years. The last time can be traced back to ten years ago, when AC Milan defeated the team led by Cruyff 4:0 at the Olympic Stadium in Athens. Barcelona Dream Team, and the head coach of AC Milan at the time was Capello.
Amid the cheers and cheers of tens of thousands of Blues fans, all the staff and coaching staff rushed into the stadium, while the Chelsea fans frantically poured out the football they had prepared before. With colored paper, the entire Schalke Stadium turned into a vast ocean and a paradise of joy.
Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines with his head held high and exhaled heavily. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
For a head coach, a season is a long and difficult journey. In this season, when I wake up every morning, I always think about the next game and the next opponent. It seems that there is no one. The end is the same. People who have not experienced that kind of pressure will not understand it.
No matter what you do, there will be a voice in your heart that keeps reminding you that you can't relax yet!
One game after another, one opponent after another, one event after another, the expectations of the team management, the trust of the players, the love of the fans, all these things have turned into pressure and swept over them. If you are not strong enough, you will be eaten without even spitting out your bones.
But now, Ye Qiu felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This feeling of relaxing the whole person is very comfortable, but it is also very unaccustomed, so I think I am really a bitch!
Ye Qiu was sitting in the coaching bench of the home team, silently watching the players and staff celebrating crazily on the court, watching their jubilant looks, and watching the deafening cheers of the fans in the stands. He was filled with emotion from the bottom of his heart. A satisfied smile.
This is the sense of achievement and satisfaction he pursues, which is unmatched and comparable to anything else!
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the coaching bench, and simply closed his eyes.
Sometimes, if you don’t use your eyes to see, but only use your ears to listen, that feeling is also wonderful, because you will find that the sounds are intertwined in your mind, making you think about it, and you will find many things that you can’t usually find. details.
But the disadvantages are also very obvious. At the very least, he doesn't even know that someone is secretly lurking in front of or behind him.
"What are you doing?"
When Ye Qiu found out, his feet and hands had been grabbed, and he was carried out of the coaching bench just like a death row prisoner who was about to be quartered on five horses. The players and staff carried him along the way. As he kept running on the court, someone would lose his grip from time to time. Ye Qiu was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He was afraid that if he fell directly, he would only have half a life left even if he didn't die.
But in the end, he didn't fall off.
The players carried him on their shoulders and ran to the stands where the Chelsea fans were. They asked him to sit up and saw the huge portrait displayed for him by the fans in the stands. This portrait took up more than half of the stands, and every fan Each of them held a piece of cardboard with different colors and patterns on it, which finally came together to form this huge portrait of Ye Qiu.
This is a very organized fan activity, and they are using this way to express their gratitude and love for the head coach.
Ye Qiu was a little flattered, and he just stood there, a little stupid.
"Oh, please, can you at least give me some reaction?" Somewhere in the stands, just below the cardboard, Eliza Moon saw Ye Qiu's silly expression, and she slapped herself hard. With his fair forehead, he felt that this man was hopeless.
"Blow a kiss, or exaggerate, tell them with gestures, I love you, it will definitely make all the Blues fans crazy!" Eliza Moon felt that this guy missed a great opportunity, which is a pity.
Huang Chu was feeling proud of her husband's achievements. After hearing Eliza's words, he immediately laughed and took her arm, "How about this, Eliza, you go to the front and tell him."
"Get out!" Eliza couldn't help but said Ye Qiu's spoken words without even noticing it herself, "You are his wife, you can yell if you want, I won't do such a shameful thing!" After that, She couldn't help but laugh herself.
But at this moment, Ye Qiu came to his senses and waved vigorously towards the fans in the stands. This action immediately received the response of the Chelsea fans in the stands, and then all the Blues fans in the audience shouted loudly. Shouting [Ye Qiu]!
And what’s very interesting is that at first the shouts were sparse, some were in Chinese and some were in English, but in the end, they were all shouting in Chinese. However, their Chinese was really awkward, and some of them shouted correctly. , some shouted the wrong words, and when shouted in unison, they were completely out of tune, and it was really difficult for people to understand.
Of course, if it matches this scene, everyone can hear that he is calling Ye Qiu.
When Abramovich walked out of the tunnel, the fans shouted loudest.
"What are they shouting?" Abramovich obviously didn't understand. He looked around for Ye Qiu.
Peter Kenyon listened carefully and said, "It should be calling Ye Qiu, and it's in Chinese."
Abramovich was obviously stunned. He really didn't expect that in just one year, Chelsea fans would love Ye Qiu so much that he could feel it, at least at this moment, in the fans' eyes. In the eyes, if Ye Qiu and his boss had to choose one from the other, I believe everyone would choose Ye Qiu.
Thinking of this, Abramovich's face was obviously not very good-looking, but it only flashed past. Except for Peter Kenyon who was paying attention, I believe it would be difficult for others to notice it. Then the Russians quickly changed With a smile on his face, if others saw it, they would definitely think that he was happy for Ye Qiu and the team's achievements today.
"There he is!" Pini Zahavi, who was following Abramovich, was sharp-eyed and immediately saw Ye Qiu being picked up by the players and placed on his head.
This scene made Abramovich a little stunned again, but he quickly returned to normal.
"By the way, Peter!" Abramovich asked Peter Kenyon beside him, "How are the contract renewal negotiations with Ye Qiu going?" This is what Abramovich said in more than a month. It was decided in person beforehand that it should be implemented as soon as possible.
"There is no problem with salary, just some differences on terms." Peter Kenyon said.
"Oh? What disagreement?"
"Ye Qiu wants us to ensure that all the current first-team players stay. He wants us to promise to keep the main structure of the first-team unchanged and let him introduce one or two players for the rotation and substitute lineup. He feels that the team's main lineup is strong enough this season. "The most important thing next season is not to continue to strengthen, but to further adjust and improve the team's offensive and defensive system."
After hearing this, Abramovich clearly noticed the subtext in Peter Kenyon's words, that is, don't give him a superstar.
Seeing that Abramovich did not speak, Peter Kenyon further explained: "In fact, this is what any team will do after its peak. For example, Ferguson, who won the Triple Crown that year, introduced Veron. Adjusting the team's tactics but failing is also to avoid losing the threat after the opponent becomes familiar with his tactics, which will lead to a decline in performance. "
"Does he think that Shevchenko's role in this team is not as good as Drogba?" Abramovich's tone was a bit harsh, and he didn't understand. Shevchenko is the best player in the world. Is one of the top shooters worse than a black guy?
Peter Kenyon didn't say anything, but it was obvious that this was indeed what Ye Qiu meant. He just couldn't say it and could only take the default. Moreover, as a middleman, he was sandwiched between Ye Qiu and Abramovich, and it was indeed very difficult.
"What do you think?" Abramovich looked at Peter Kenyon and asked.
This question made Peter Kenyon swallow his saliva. This is asking me to take sides!
"I think that whether from the competitive level or from the club's financial management level, Ye Qiu's suggestion is worth considering!" Peter Kenyon thought for a few seconds and finally made a choice.
Abramovich was obviously stunned for a moment, and then took a deep look at Peter Kenyon, as if he had known him again, and then laughed a few times, "Okay, then listen to you, temporarily put Shevchenko's transfer on hold, but I want a substantial transfer. This is my promise to the fans, do you understand?"
Peter Kenyon was stared at by Abramovich, and his heart was panicked for no reason, and he immediately nodded and agreed.
Although Abramovich usually gives people a very literary and friendly feeling, just now, Peter Kenyon really saw his aura.
How to say it?
He can decide your future and destiny with just a gesture!
