The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 100 If you go, I will go too!
Whether it is from an offensive or defensive perspective, Twente cannot be regarded as a symmetrical opponent for Ajax.

Perhaps, at the beginning of the season, this team can still bring some troubles and threats to Ajax, but after one season, this team has been completely pulled away by Ajax for a long distance.

The 4:0 score allowed Ajax to win the most important championship trophy so far this season, but it is also a Dutch Cup that is dispensable in the eyes of traditional powerhouses. Ye Qiu has won it for two consecutive years To the champion of this cup.

A season, for a veteran, may mean a decline in state, and for a star in his prime, it means maintaining state, but for Ajax, a group of young and talented players For young people, a season of training and training can greatly improve their strength.

Not only the players, but also the head coach, Ye Qiu has improved a lot in the past year, but even so, he still spends almost every day in the study room of the godfather training system, constantly Self-improvement, constantly improve their tactical literacy and level.

The profound sense of crisis makes him have to constantly absorb all kinds of knowledge from the outside world, and then strengthen his own strength.

Because he, like the current Ajax team, is full of desire for the future and honor.

Tens of thousands of Ajax fans who came to Rotterdam to cheer for the team got some compensation. Although they felt sad about losing the league title, they were all relieved to be able to successfully defend the Dutch Cup. At the same time, they all began to set their sights on the UEFA Cup final four days later.

Because of this, after the Dutch Cup final, although the team took home the championship trophy, Ajax did not organize any form of celebration in Amsterdam, not even the usual parade around the city after winning the championship.

Long before heading to Rotterdam, Ajax had already announced on the official website and newspapers: At the request of the coaching staff, in order to give the team more preparation time, the team won the championship in the Dutch Cup final , and there will be no celebration ceremony of any kind.

Ye Qiu also admitted that this was his choice when interviewed by the media.

"We won the Holland Cup last season and celebrated it. I don't think there is much value for celebrating if we win it again. I hope to be able to win the UEFA Cup final when we beat Barcelona and win it back. UEFA Cup, let's celebrate together at that time, I believe the fans will be even happier!"

As for his opponent in the UEFA Cup final, Ye Qiu said that Barcelona is indeed stronger, but Ajax has more fighting spirit and drive, so it is hard to say who will win.

"I remember that in the Amsterdam Cup before the season, Mr. Ferrer once said that there is a huge gap between Ajax and Barcelona, ​​and this final will be me and my players. Tell Mr Ferrer that the difference in quality between Ajax and Barcelona is not as big as he says!"

Ye Qiu is a very proud person at heart, he will always remember whoever treats him well, but he will always remember whoever treats him badly, so Ferrer's words before the season, although in the From Barcelona's point of view, it was a matter of course, but from Ye Qiu's point of view, it was a naked humiliation.

But at that time, he and his Ajax had nothing to do. Now, the opportunity to prove himself has come!
…………

…………

Returning to Amsterdam from Rotterdam, Ajax continued to invest in training, fully preparing for the UEFA Cup final with Barcelona.

Ye Qiu and the coaching staff are studying Barcelona's tactics and situation this season every day.

Barcelona is currently in a period of turmoil. Ye Qiu can even say that the current level of turmoil in Barcelona is no less than that of Real Madrid in the next few years. This also proves one thing, that is, every giant will have its own troughs and difficulties No one can avoid the peak.

Ferrer's performance this season can be described as horrible. On the one hand, Barcelona's set brings together Kluivert, Rivaldo, Enrique, Guardiola, Cocu, Overmars, Xavi, Reziger, De Boer, Sergi, Pettit and a large number of top European star lineups.

On the other hand, he left the Champions League in despair, was eliminated from the Copa del Rey, and even lost to Mallorca in the league ranking, ranking fourth in the league. Barely entered the qualifying zone for next season's European Champions Cup.

The inconsistency between strength and performance dissatisfied Barcelona's so-called best vice-chairman in Barcelona's history, but the worst chairman, Gaspart, but still chose to support Ferrer, because Ferrer is He picked it up with one hand, but the club's general manager, Rexach, obviously didn't like Ferrer, and tried every means to get him out.

On this point, Ferrer and Ye Qiu's situations are so similar.

Ferrer is 48 years old this year. Before coaching Barcelona's first team, his most glorious resume was leading Real Betis to La Liga from La Liga. In the first season, relying on his unbreakable defensive tactics, he won fifth place in La Liga Real Betis only conceded 25 goals in La Liga that season, and the defense was astonishingly strong.

But soon, Real Betis fell into the mid-range. Although Ferrer led Real Betis to the King's Cup final, he lost to Barcelona, ​​​​and he himself came to Barcelona's second team as the head coach. When Gall was not performing well, he took the stage to coach the first team.

Many people say that Van Gaal is a paranoid coach who loves to attack, but after Ferrer took office this season, his tactical style is even worse than that of Van Gaal, which has also led to Barcelona's failure this season. A lot of goals are scored, but also a lot of goals conceded.

The reason for this is mainly Barcelona's player lineup configuration.

Barcelona's defense this season is just those few, Reziger, Frank De Boer, Abelardo, Sergi, Petit and Puyol, gone.

At the beginning, Ferrer first used a 3-back, because considering the lack of defensive lineup, but this set of lineup led to very bad results for Barcelona, ​​with 7 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses, and the Champions League was also eliminated, so he immediately changed his tactics. , adopted the 4231 tactics and successfully stopped the team's decline.

Compared with the embarrassment of the defense line, Barcelona's frontcourt is full of talents.

Generally speaking, the double midfielder is the configuration of Guardiola and Kocu. This is the main double midfielder of Barcelona this season. Harvey and Iniesta are still just soy sauce. Even Puyol is difficult to Guarantee the main position.

There are more attackers, Simao, Overmars, Zenden, Enrique, Rivaldo, Kluivert, this is because they let go of a Litmanen during the winter break, otherwise If so, this offensive lineup can be described as luxurious.

Ye Qiu was analyzing Barcelona's tactics and lineup with the coaching staff. Given Ajax's current situation, they shouldn't go all out to fight against Barcelona, ​​because it's completely unnecessary.

"4231 is very popular in La Liga this season. Real Madrid and Barcelona both adopt this style of play. Cruyff said that if Ferrer used 4231 earlier, then the current Barcelona will be a strong contender for various championships, but I don't think so. Think so!"

Although Cruyff is called the sacredness of Ajax by the fans, Ye Qiu and many people present did not have such pressure. At least in their view, right is right and wrong is wrong, and Cruyff also will make mistakes.

"4231 is a set of offensive and defensive tactics that balances offense and defense. It can highlight the offensive power of the two wings and ensure the protection of the midfield to the greatest extent. However, for Barcelona's staffing, their 4231 has a fatality. Its weakness is here!"

Ye Qiu pressed hard on the tactical board, and everyone could clearly see what he meant.

At first, they didn't quite understand, but after talking with Ye Qiu carefully, they immediately understood what he meant, and they had to admit that Ye Qiu caught Barcelona's dead end!
After reaching a consensus, the coaching staff began to discuss how to carry out targeted training arrangements. After all, there is not much time until the finals. They must practice the targeted tactics arranged by Ye Qiu as soon as possible in the next few days, so that they can compete in the next few days. Powerful in the final.

After seeing off the coaching staff, Ye Qiu was busy in his office again. He also had a lot of things to do, such as carefully filtering out the problems and dangers that might arise in the finals, and thinking about it. Think about countermeasures.

Time passed quickly, and by the time Ye Qiu left the office, the lights had already been turned on.

Walking out of De Tokmoster, Ye Qiu walked slowly on the road, but secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, because he hadn't bought a car yet.

It's not a question of money, because he has already prepared money, the main reason is that he really doesn't have time.

After returning to Amsterdam from the winter break, he started to encounter all kinds of problems, game after game, trouble after trouble, he couldn't find time at all, and he was a person who could do nothing else. Whatever you want, but when it comes to houses and cars, he has very high requirements.

So even now, he still lives in the Amstelveen district, and he has not yet got a car, so he can only walk.

beep~beep~~
A cloud of dazzling headlights came from behind, and the horn sounded three times, and a Mercedes-Benz sports car slowly stopped beside Ye Qiu, and Ibrahimovic was greeting Ye Qiu with a smile.

"Take a ride?" The Swede is now in a good mood. He has passed the most difficult stage. At least he no longer has to worry about having no money to refuel, and he doesn't need to worry about eating.

Ajax decided to pay a sum of money not long ago and hired Eliza's company to serve as Ajax's player consultant. One of the services is to deal with player placement and consultation. For this reason, Eliza's company will arrange professional Personnel to follow and take care of the players' daily life, even including some housekeeping.

After Ye Qiu sat on it, the car started. I have to say, a Mercedes-Benz is a Mercedes-Benz, and it feels really good.

"Now you are the only one in our first team without a car, head!" Ibrahimovic said with a smile.

Ye Qiu chuckled, "Why buy a car? Wouldn't it be better to ride in your car every day from now on?"

After hearing this, Ibrahimovic smiled and didn't say anything. He lived not far from Ye Qiu's home, also in the Amstelveen district.

"After the UEFA Cup final with Barcelona, ​​you can ask Elisa to come to the club to discuss the renewal of your contract!" Ye Qiu still decided to say ahead of time to give the Swedes a boost, "I have already mentioned it to the club. , Give some of your outstanding players a salary increase next season."

At present, the salary structure of Ajax is still relatively low in the Eredivisie, because they are all young players without the slightest reputation before, so it is naturally impossible to offer high salaries, but as the performance of the players is getting better and better, Ajax Jax must be given a proper salary increase, otherwise, the players will definitely be unhappy.

At present, the list of salary increases confirmed by Ye Qiu includes Ibrahimovic, Gilberto Silva, Kivu and Van der Meyde. The other players are basically signed for only one year, and their salaries are already good. Therefore, It is not suitable to renew the contract for a salary increase at the moment.

The salary cannot be paid enough at one time. First, it will increase the burden on the club, and second, it is easy to create a kind of slack for the players.

Of course Ibrahimovic knew that this was the promise Ye Qiu made to him before fulfilling it, and he was also happy in his heart, nodding and smiling.

The car drove out of the southeast new urban area and headed towards the Amstelveen district at a high speed. Ye Qiu was seriously worried about this Swede's driving skills, and he was driving extremely fast, I'll fuck it!
"Do you still remember Barcelona?" Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something.

Ibrahimovic nodded and looked ahead, but obviously remembered what happened at the beginning of the season, "I will definitely kill them this time!"

"I remember, the bet between us is that I will take you to revenge, if you can't, you can leave freely!" Ye Qiu recalled the bet he made with Ibrahimovic back then. .

The Swedes obviously didn't expect Ye Qiu to remember, he almost forgot himself.

Unknowingly, it's been almost a year since he played under Ye Qiu's command. In the past year, he has improved a lot. Van Basten, Moniz and Meulensteen specially trained him to make his His strength has been greatly improved, and now he is already well-known in the Netherlands, and he can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the European League.

He is not a traditional center, but more like a serializer and fulcrum at the forefront of the team's tactics, but his personal ability also allows him to play the role of a scorer anytime and anywhere, so his progress this season The number of goals is not a lot, and he is also the player with the most goals in the Ajax team.

The Swede knew very well in his heart, and he also understood that it was Ye Qiu and this set of tactics that made him what he is today!
"Head, if you don't win the league championship, will you leave?" Ibrahimovic asked suddenly, his tone somewhat bitter.

He didn't think Ye Qiu was like a head coach, but like a majestic big brother.

"I don't know!" Ye Qiu has no idea about this, he has no way to know many things, because he is only a head coach.

"But regardless of whether I go or not, the winner of the UEFA Cup final is decided!"

This is a championship that is more important than the Eredivisie League. If he can win this championship, Ye Qiu can truly gain a foothold in the European League and no longer need to be questioned by others, because he will become the European Champion!

This year's UEFA Cup is very important. If you win it, Ye Qiu will be worth a hundred times immediately, second only to the UEFA Champions League.

"If they drive you away, then I won't sign the contract!" Ibrahimovic said after thinking for a while.

He was not convinced by others, so he obeyed Ye Qiu, but the words were rotten in his stomach on weekdays, so he didn't say anything.

Ibrahimovic has performed very well in the Eredivisie and UEFA Cup this past season, very eye-catching, especially in the second half, which also allows him not to worry about his whereabouts at all. If he wants to transfer, Immediately there will be a large group of clubs sending invitations to him, among which Wenger's Arsenal has made it clear that they are interested in Ibrahimovic.

"Don't be stupid, do you think you're famous?" Ye Qiu's heart warmed, but he was reprimanding Ibrahimovic, "At your age, the most important thing is to practice games, play more games, and accumulate more experience. , improve your strength level more, and change jobs to the four major leagues, you are not ready yet!"

If someone reprimanded him, Ibrahimovic would definitely fight back to the death, but when Ye Qiu said him, he was convinced, smiled, and didn't refute, but he was secretly making up his mind that if Ye Qiu really dismissed get out of class, he would transfer. Because he doesn't like the group of Ajax directors.

He even knew very well that there were teammates with the same thoughts as himself, because several outstanding players this season had attracted the attention of other teams, and some of them were mid-range teams in the four major leagues. If Ye Qiu really left If it is, then for many people, there is no need for Ajax to stay!
"Go back and tell them, don't think about anything. For us, the most important thing at the moment is the UEFA Cup. To win this championship, whether it is for me or for you, the situation will be completely different!"

Ibrahimovic understood what Ye Qiu meant, he was not an idiot.

The reason why the directors of Ajax made things difficult for Ye Qiu this season and forced him to issue a military order is mainly because Ye Qiu is not well-known, but after a season, Ye Qiu has now shown that he is worthy of The strength of Ajax, just not being able to win the league title, is likely to give the directors an excuse.

But if Ye Qiu can win the UEFA Cup, which is more important than the Eredivisie champion, then the situation will be completely different. Whether to stay in Ajax or not will no longer be decided by the directors. It was Ye Qiu who had the final say.

At that time, it will no longer be Ye Qiu's compromise, but Ajax must take the initiative to make concessions and compromises, and that vote of directors must bow down, otherwise, Ye Qiu can leave directly, and still You can walk with your head up high and see how the Ajax fans tore up that vote of directors at that time.

Ye Qiu was like this, and so were the players.

After all, this is an era of utilitarianism, without a champion, there is nothing to talk about!
