The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 392 I Absolutely Cannot Lose!

At noon on this day, the small town of Zigwell in Enfield gathered many reporters and media from all over the UK and Europe. They all went to the Zigwell training base of Tottenham Hotspur. The shabby press conference venue awaits Tottenham Hotspur's pre-match press conference on tomorrow's Carabao Cup final.

As usual, Tottenham Hotspur will announce tomorrow's squad today.

Not only that, they all hope that Ye Qiu can respond to the provocation from Chelsea coach Mourinho.

As early as a few days ago, when Tottenham Hotspur beat Everton with difficulty and drew with Manchester United, Chelsea successfully reversed the Red Devils and reached the top of the Premier League. Some reporters asked him about Ye Qiu and Tottenham When talking about Tottenham's comments, he smiled and expressed his gratitude to Ye Qiu for the draw with Manchester United, but he would not show mercy in the League Cup final.

And just this morning, when he announced the team's roster for going south to Cardiff, he once again started the war of words against Ye Qiu.

"I never felt that Tottenham Hotspur had the strength to challenge our Chelsea, but I will not ignore this game, because everyone knows that in the same game, two teams, one has to be busy. The league, the Champions League and the cup, and the other one can only fight for the cup, so the two teams are in a different situation."

"I can understand the fighting spirit of Tottenham Hotspur, because for them, reaching the Carabao Cup final is a very important, very great achievement, and they may even only have the Carabao Cup for the whole season. The hope of winning the championship, so they will do everything for this game, such an opponent is very troublesome!"

"But it doesn't mean that we are afraid of our opponents. On the contrary, I like to play against such opponents, because this kind of final will make your blood boil. I will not just focus on the result, because for us Chelsea For me, this is not a problem, I pay more attention to the process and quality of the game, we hope to leave a classic game for all fans."

And when the reporter asked about Mourinho's confidence in winning the League Cup final, the Portuguese tilted his head and smiled proudly, "I said, if we have 11 players on the field after the game, then I must be the one who wins." !"

The same thing, he said once when he played Tottenham Hotspur in the previous league, and that time Tottenham Hotspur lost, and Mourinho said to the media after the game arrogantly that his players did not He was sent off, so he won, and now he's bringing it up again, and continuing to use it to fight the war of words.

The Portuguese is quite crazy, but his madness lies in his ability, not to mention other things, because he can have enough courage to take Chelsea's burden after Ye Qiu brought Chelsea to that level , this in itself is enough to prove that he is indeed very capable.

And in many cases, the reason why he is arrogant is actually to fight a war of words, which is also part of the strategic level of his coaching a team. Some people even say that if there is no war of words, Mourinho's coaching performance It may not be so good, at least every season there are always some teams who fall in his saliva.

Of course, understanding is understanding, but there are still quite a few reporters who don't like this Portuguese because he is too crazy and arrogant.

Sometimes he can say a word well, but he insists on doing everything possible to his opponent, using all kinds of sarcasm and sarcasm, just like what he said to Tottenham Hotspur just now, almost every sentence They were all satirizing Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu.

And maybe it's because he can speak and say a lot of bad things well, so he often likes to shirk responsibility, either to the referee or to others. In short, it must not be him and his team. Wrong, this is not necessarily a good way of coaching.

The media like to add fuel to the flames, and they all like some eye-catching breaking news, so although they don't like Mourinho very much, they welcome the Portuguese to shoot everywhere. Therefore, after hearing Mourinho's cannons, they They came to the Zigwell training base, wanting to hear Ye Qiu's counterattack.

Before the game, listen to the war of words between the two sides, which seems to have become an appetizing dessert for Premier League fans.

Reporters and media staff were waiting in the not-so-spacious press conference venue, but they were complaining in their hearts. Tottenham Hotspur’s Zigwell training base was really bad, and the press conference venue was too small and crowded. It's getting colder, but fortunately it's near spring, if it's hot summer, wouldn't it be too hot to die for?
However, some media broke the news before that the first phase of Tottenham Hotspur's Theobald training base is almost finished. I heard that all the facilities are very advanced and perfect, and the overall layout and planning inside are like a garden. But it is very mysterious there, there is only one gate to enter and exit, and the security is very strict, no one knows the specific situation inside.

"Why haven't you come yet?" I don't know who complained first.

The press conference was scheduled for 11:[-], but it has been more than ten minutes now, why is there no one?

There was a sudden commotion at the scene, and the reporters booed one after another, but no one left.

Just when they were about to go to the staff to understand the situation, they saw Tottenham Hotspur's director of news Robert Milson and the first team assistant coach Roland Shepas walked into the news one after the other The scene of the press conference.

All the reporters stretched their necks, looked at the entrance, and waited for Ye Qiu to appear, but after waiting for several seconds, no one was seen, and all of them suddenly started to make noise again. Could it be that Ye Qiu didn't Come?
"Robert, where's your boss?" Someone in the reporter group asked.

Robert Milson was born as a reporter. He has worked for almost all major newspapers in the UK, except for the Sun, and since he came to Tottenham Hotspur, he has been dealing with the news media all the time, so Many people present were familiar with him, and they talked more casually with each other.

Robert Milson raised his hands to signal the presence of silence.

After everyone quieted down, he walked up to the microphone, "Welcome to the journalists who came from afar, but unfortunately, our head coach, Mr. Ye Qiu, couldn't come to this press conference. I would like to convey his apology to everyone, and hope to gain everyone's understanding!"

As soon as the audience heard this news, everyone was shocked. Ye Qiu was the main character. If he didn't come, how would this play be sung?
"Excuse me!" Someone in the crowd held up his right hand, holding a pen in his hand.

"Please tell me!" Robert Milson didn't need a press officer at all. He pointed to the reporter himself, indicating that the reporter could ask questions.

The reporter nodded, "Excuse me, what is the reason for Mr. Ye Qiu's absence from this press conference? You know, without a very reasonable explanation, we may not be able to accept it. After all, this is the rule of the Football Association. !"

"Yep!"

"Give us a reasonable explanation!"

As soon as the reporters present heard that someone was taking the lead, they immediately booed again.

Robert Milson and Roland looked at each other and smiled, and leaned closer to the microphone, "I believe everyone knows that the media and newspapers have also reported that Mrs. Ye is pregnant and expecting to give birth. Last night, Mr. Ye Qiu sent Ye Qiu overnight. Mrs. was sent to Wellington Hospital, and I believe he should still be there now!"

All the reporters present were in an uproar when they heard the news. How could they not know about such a big news?

My God, if it really gets out, this group of British paparazzi, who claim to be the most professional and powerful in the world, will be laughed to death by their peers, and they have missed such a big piece of news.

"Excuse me, did you give birth?"

"Male or female?"

"Ye Qiu is waiting with his wife to give birth, so what about the League Cup final in Cardiff tomorrow?"

"Will he personally go to Cardiff to lead the team to participate in this game?"

The reporters at the scene asked each other one by one. Robert Milson and Roland Shepas both adopted a pacification strategy, and then answered them one by one. They said that they have not received any news so far. The club will contact them when they have news. Notify the media immediately.

But this is obviously not an answer that can satisfy the reporters, and since Ye Qiu is not here, and there is such a breaking news waiting for Wellington Hospital, how can the reporters present have the mood to stay?

It's cold at night in Cardiff, on the edge of Bristol Bay, and it's very windy.

I flew to Cardiff from London at noon, went to the Millennium Stadium for familiarization training, and then returned to the hotel. The whole process was led by assistant coach Roland Sheppas, and the club's head of news, Robert Milson, also personally followed. The team came to Cardiff, but there was no news of the head coach Ye Qiu.

This made all the Tottenham Hotspur players feel a little unaccustomed to it. It's really strange to say that, when Ye Qiu was around, everyone just laughed and laughed and didn't feel any difference, but now suddenly It's gone, it feels like something is missing, as if I've lost my way all of a sudden.

It is only at this time that they realize that they are really dependent on the head coach, but they are not aware of it at ordinary times. Only at this time, they will discover this.

"You said, will the head come tomorrow?" Fabregas was somewhat worried.

The night before the match, the team was not allowed to leave the hotel, and even family members of the team were not allowed to visit. Although Ye Qiu was not there, the players still obeyed the rules consciously, because everyone knew that breaking the rules was not just the coaching staff If punishment is required, teammates will also feel uncomfortable. After all, everyone is like this, and no one can be an exception.

Because they can't go out, and there are no other entertainment programs, they just play cards, play mobile phones and game consoles, or play table tennis in the hotel, or they just make a fool of themselves. G.

"Of course!" Beckham patted the Spanish teenager on the head, "Maybe we will see him early tomorrow morning!"

Many people present laughed, because many of them have no experience in this field at all, but there are also many people who have accompanied their wives to give birth to a child. If you are slow, you may not be able to fix your stomachache for two or three days.

"Tou loves his wife very much, so whether he can make it in time or not, we will win tomorrow's game!" Franck Ribery has always regarded Ye Qiu as his godfather on the football field. Without Ye Qiu, maybe He is still moving his bricks in his hometown.

And for him and Cesc Fabregas, Messi, Van Persie and others who came out of Chelsea, tomorrow's game is not only for Tottenham Hotspur, but also for themselves, because they want to prove to Look at the Portuguese, what a stupid mistake it was not to reuse them, and even put them into the youth team.

"Just now, I was still thinking, what should we do if the head doesn't come tomorrow!" Messi took Ribery's words, but soon shook his head with a wry smile, "Thinking about it now, I really feel too It's too dependent and too independent."

"In the past, the head was always thinking about us, now, we should think about him!" Thiago Silva also said with some emotion.

"So, in tomorrow's game, we will fight against the Chelsea gang. If the head comes, it will be the best. Even if the head doesn't come, we will bring the League Cup championship trophy back to London. Send it to the head, and treat it as a gift to congratulate him!" Ribery said very emotionally.

"Okay, well said!"

"We want to bring the League Cup trophy back to White Hart Lane!"

Closed and opened, night turned into day.

As the sun moved slowly, it soon came to the top of the head, which added a bit of warmth to Cardiff, but it also reminded everyone that the League Cup final is about to begin.

The kick-off time for the League Cup final was set at 15:[-] in the afternoon. Tottenham Hotspur came to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff early. Although Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are both in London, Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham are in the north, so they use the north dressing room, while Chelsea continue to use the south dressing room.

Before the game, the news that Tottenham Hotspur coach Ye Qiu did not come to Cardiff with the team had spread like wildfire. All fans who followed Tottenham Hotspur were a little worried about this game. But for a League Cup final, Ye Qiu, as the head coach of the team, shouldn't affect the team's results because of personal matters.

However, there are also some people who feel that given Ye Qiu's love for his wife, it is not unacceptable for him to stay in London. After all, there is still a chance to play in the League Cup final, but the child may be born like this for the rest of his life. Once, which father doesn't want to see his child born?
Just as the fans of the two teams entered and sat down one after another, and the players of the two teams entered the stadium for warm-up training before the game, the on-site commentator at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff finally delivered a piece of excellent news.

"We just received the news from London. An hour ago, our reporter got the exact news from Wellington Hospital. Ye Qiu's wife gave birth to a boy in Wellington Hospital more than an hour ago. Let us congratulate Ye Qiu , and our reporter in London also said that Ye Qiu is driving to Cardiff very fast!"

This news spread to every corner of the stadium through the stadium broadcast, and all the fans in the stands immediately cheered, not only the Tottenham Hotspur fans who came to the scene, but also the Chelsea fans, because even if it is Up to now, many, many of them still respect and love Ye Qiu very much.

As soon as the Tottenham Hotspur players in the stadium heard the news, they immediately applauded. Even Ribery hugged his teammates to celebrate. This is not just about Ye Qiu, but for them. It is also a happy event.

"Gift!" Beckham gathered his teammates together, "Head is coming, win the League Cup as a gift!"

"Okay!" The players responded in unison.

On Chelsea's side, Drogba, Makelele, Terry, Lampard and other players also applauded after hearing the news. They were all Ye Qiu's former favorites at Chelsea. Even though they represent different teams now, their bones are still full of respect for Ye Qiu.

Only Mourinho, the Portuguese looked at all this with a gloomy face, because since he came to Chelsea, he discovered that no one can make Chelsea wear off the traces of Ye Qiu in a short period of time , especially now that Ye Qiu is in charge of Tottenham Hotspur and is performing better and better.

Sometimes he even suspects that Ye Qiu is doing it on purpose to buy Tottenham Hotspur, because he just wants to disgust Chelsea and Mourinho, and because of this, Mourinho thinks Ye Qiu No matter how you look at it, it is not pleasing to the eye, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you are playing against it.

And most of the time, comparisons are inevitable. Many Chelsea fans compare themselves with Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu in everything they encounter. Bad, these are the pressures that Mourinho feels virtually, and this is still when the team's performance is good.

It is even hard for Mourinho to imagine, if one day, Tottenham Hotspur's performance climbed above Chelsea's head, will he be scolded to death by the media and Chelsea fans all over the world at that time?
He must win this game, and he must not lose, because he doesn't know what will happen to him if he loses this game. He won't be dismissed after class, but he will definitely be condemned by all reporters and fans object.

Not only that, he also doesn't allow himself to lose to Ye Qiu in the current situation, to this team, Tottenham Hotspur, which he ridiculed as a children's team before the season, otherwise, this team The League Cup was Ye Qiu's slap in the face.

Thinking of this, Mourinho's eyes narrowed, looking ahead, he has made all the preparations for this game.

This is not only the League Cup final between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, but also another personal contest between him and Ye Qiu.

I absolutely must not lose!
