I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 135 Bringing in Players
The team had to play on Christmas Day, and the club also considered the psychological problems of the players. The team came forward. After the game, they went directly to a hotel in London for dinner, and asked the players to bring their relatives.

Compared with the players and assistant coaches, Yunqiao is still single this time, and his girlfriend is still in the United States and has not come back. The relationship between the two is not as good as before.

Even when Vivienne came back one day to say goodbye, Yunqiao was already mentally prepared.

The party is very simple. Knowing that the players want to spend it with their wives, girlfriends or family members, they just have a simple dinner and give the players a day off.

Don't feel that one day is missing, because there will be a game on the 28th.In the 20th round of the Premier League, Chelsea visited Fulham as a guest.

Although Chelsea played with all the main players in this game, Yunqiao also accepted the score of 2:2.

Lampard scored twice to allow Chelsea to retreat unscathed.

Apart from the game, what is more important to Yunqiao now is the player transaction.

Yunqiao has not introduced players yet, and some of his own players are about to leave. This is one of the longest-serving Chelsea players, the old goalkeeper Cudicini.

I don't know what conditions Lao Lei promised him, but he actually persuaded Cudicini, who was about to retire.The veteran goalkeeper born in 1973 came to Chelsea in 2000 and was the team's main goalkeeper before Cech. Even after Cech came, Cudicini has always been the main goalkeeper of the Chelsea Cup.

Later, when Yunqiao took office, he trusted Cudicini even more, and his time at Chelsea was the longest first player except captain Terry, and it has been a full eight years.Witnessed Chelsea from the trough to the rise of the star.

His contract is about to expire this season. Originally, Yunqiao wanted to sign him a two-year contract at the end of the season. Cudicini could retire at Chelsea. Unexpectedly, he was told by Lao Lei Moved and ran to Tottenham.

For the team's feats, he wanted to go to the next team, so Yunqiao had no choice but to congratulate him.By the way, I met with Lao Lei, at Tottenham's youth training center, Yunqiao asked Cudicini to join Tottenham as a free agent, increasing more salary for Cudicini, and more importantly, Yunqiao Want to talk to Lao Lei about another player.

Gareth Bell, who looks more like a sprinter now, but from the new four-year contract that Tottenham just signed with him, Tottenham is still very concerned about Bell.

It's just that neither Ramos nor Lao Lei gave Bell a chance, so Bell hasn't had a chance to show himself in the past few years since joining.

Lao Lei did not agree to trade Bell. Although he was not optimistic about this young player, he just signed the contract. Lao Lei also just arrived, and he didn't know the player very well, so he did not agree to the deal.

Not being able to get Bell, Yunqiao was not disappointed. He knew Bell's situation. He had no chance of getting ahead this season, and even less likely next season. The best time was the summer transfer period of the next season. Lao Lei should be disappointed with Bell, and it's not yet time for Bell to play.

Without Bell, Yunqiao took another young player from Tottenham's youth training camp, Harry Kane, born in 1993, Kane is now 16 years old, but he is not in Tottenham's youth training camp. Not good, as a striker, his scoring efficiency is too low, and his performance in Tottenham's various echelons is very average.

When Yunqiao proposed that he wanted this young player, Lao Lei also specifically asked the coach of the youth training camp, and even took Yunqiao to see Kane in the Tottenham echelon.

To be honest, Lao Lei couldn't see anything about this little English guy that Yunqiao liked, so he asked Kane, and in front of Yunqiao, told him to let him go to Chelsea's youth training camp next door. unwilling.

Seeing that Yunqiao came to leave him in person, Kane was naturally very happy. Yunqiao is one of the head coaches that young players most want to play for, especially the young players in this place in London. They even want to play under Yunqiao .

As soon as the door of the winter break opened, the first deal in the Premier League was that Chelsea’s old goalkeeper joined Tottenham as a free agent. kindness.

All in all, in Chelsea's youth training camp, Yunqiao has already recruited several future stars, such as Mbappe, Sane, Harry Kane, and Kanter who is a little older than them.Yes, Yunqiao asked Kanter to return to the reserve team to play. It is too difficult for him to play in the Premier League now, but Yunqiao still arranged for Makelele to train him often, and would let him train with the first team when he had time.

Originally, there were fewer players in the first team, but now they have gone to the second goalkeeper, Yunqiao and Peter Kenyon are busy, in order to see if they can find suitable players from the numerous player rosters, they can also be introduced.

For example, if you ask Valencia about David Silva, they don’t want to talk about it at all. Silva has just signed a new four-year contract with the team, and only half of the season has passed. The core of the team's midfield, Valencia simply does not want to let go.

The relationship with Milan is good, and Yunqiao asked them about Pirlo again. Seeing that the price is right, Milan has a lot of ideas, but I can't stand Sleepy and I don't want to come to the Premier League to develop. Even Kaka is useless as a lobbyist. .

Pirlo has already thought about his next home, Juventus in Serie A has already contacted him, and Pirlo still wants to stay in Serie A.

The midfielder was not found, but the goalkeeper position was supplemented. Chelsea introduced their teenager Begovic from Portsmouth for 80 pounds.Portsmouth fans are not familiar with this goalkeeper. Since the first youth contract signed with Portsmouth in 2003, Begovic has not played for Portsmouth until now.

Has been loaned to the Belgian teams Larouville and Maxfield. In 2007, he was loaned to the League One team Burnmouth.In August 2008, Begovic was loaned to Yeovil for 8 months, and the winter break just expired.Begovic, who returned to Portsmouth, was told to move to Chelsea before he had a rest.

And Yunqiao's phone call came in at the right time. Yunqiao didn't talk to him too much, but asked Begovic if he came to Chelsea voluntarily, and then told him that he would be Chelsea's second goalkeeper next. Mainly played in the FA Cup and League Cup.

Being able to enter Chelsea, even being the second goalkeeper is better than being loaned out. In addition, there are still many matches for Chelsea's second goalkeeper. In terms of salary, Chelsea is much more generous than Portsmouth. Begovic is very happy. unwilling.

The position of the goalkeeper is settled. On January 1, Chelsea will play the third round of the FA Cup at home. The opponent is Southend, a team from the League One.This team can't cause too much trouble for Chelsea. The strength difference between the two sides is too great, even if Chelsea are all substitutes.

The starting goalkeeper Hilario, Begovic has not yet returned to the team.

Then, Yunqiao and Peter Kenyon came to the northeast of England, the port city of Newcastle upon Tyne, where there is a club with the most fanatical Premier League fans, Newcastle United.

Their target is former European Ballon d'Or winner, Michael Owen.

Owen's football career can be described as a double sky of ice and fire. Before going to Real Madrid, he was one of the strongest strikers in the world, the son of England, and he was full of vigor.

In 2001, he led Liverpool to complete the five crowns (League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Cup, Community Shield Cup and European Super League). In the same year, he defeated Raul and Kahn and won the European Ballon d'Or, becoming the most famous Premier League One of the football superstars.

But fate made a joke with him. In 2004, he left Liverpool, where he had played for 8 years. But at that time, Real Madrid had too many frontcourt players. Not to mention the alien Ronaldo, but the captain Raul , Morenster, Baptista, Sosa, the strength of these forwards is not much different from Irving or even surpasses his.

Therefore, throughout the 2004/2005 season, Owen did not have a starting game, but he scored 13 goals for Real Madrid in the few opportunities to play, becoming the player with the highest scoring efficiency in La Liga that season.

After a very disappointing season, he returned to the Premier League in September 2005 with 9 million pounds and joined Newcastle United.

Originally Owen returned to the Premier League and thought he would regain his glory, but he didn't know that his bad luck was coming quietly.
