The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 110: Go Your Own Way

If you want to talk about Chinatown, you really have to go to London, England, where the Chinatown is really beautiful.

But when it comes to eating Chinese food in Europe, you have to go to Amsterdam.

Ye Qiu has also been to a few other cities, such as Liverpool, Rome, and Dortmund. There are also Rotterdam, Eindhoven, etc. in the Netherlands, but he feels that among all the places he has been to, Amsterdam belongs to China. The restaurants are the most and the best, and they even opened to the Arenal Stadium.

The Arenal Stadium is not just a stadium, a road passes under the stadium, and the south of the stadium is a famous shopping and entertainment center in the southeast new city, even when there is no game, it is still open to receive guests , and Ajax can get a lot of rent from these shops every year.

Anyone has to admire Van Prager's ability, he left an inexhaustible fixed asset for Ajax.

The shops here include cafes, shopping supermarkets, cinemas, and the Heineken Concert Hall, which obviously does not belong to the Arena Stadium, but the most popular ones are restaurants, where almost all the famous national cuisines in the world can be found here, and The largest one is without a doubt the Slender Jin.

Yes, the name of this Chinese restaurant is called Jin Shouzi.

What's more, they directly set foot on an independent oval-shaped single-story building in the south of the Arenal Stadium, and arranged it as a Chinese restaurant with a unique Chinese style, so that everyone who comes to the Arenal Stadium can pay attention to it. Look at the little fat man in the white chef coat hanging on the signboard.

Slender Jin, as his name suggests, is very thin.

People say that when a chef has plenty of oil and water and delicious food, he should usually be very fat, but Slim Jin is definitely a strange case, because he is very thin, a bit like the one in Ye Qiu's previous life called Ma Yun. Yes, but Slim Jin is a little bit more handsome than him.

Thin is a little thinner, but there is nothing to say about cooking skills.

BJ Roast Duck, Sham Tseng Roast Goose, Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Shredded Chicken Noodles with Pickled Vegetables...

Jin Shouzi's cooking skills can definitely make the guests who like Chinese food want to swallow their tongues in their stomachs. Even Ye Qiu, who is used to Huang Chu's excellent cooking skills, can't praise it. Absolutely.

Jin Shouzi is good at all kinds of signature dishes, which are appetizers, while Huang Chu is good at home cooking, which is different.

The guys in the Ajax first team obviously haven't eaten much Chinese food on weekdays. Occasionally, they go to Ye Qiu's house for a meal and eat Huang Chu's cooking skills. The difference between Qiuju.

The season is over, and the team can be indulged, and the tense nerves can be relaxed, so Ye Qiu asked the players to let go of their stomachs and eat boldly.

Slim Jin who came over specially to greet Ye Qiu saw their appearance, not to mention how happy he was.

Damn, the more he eats, the more he barks, the more money he makes as a skinny old man.

But it has to be said that Slender Jin knows how to do business, really good at doing business, every time Ye Qiu comes to eat at his place, he discounts it, it’s very cheap, and every time he cooks for Ye Qiu himself, this time Jax is having dinner here, and he's decided to discount it too.

This old skinny man is very shrewd. Ajax's dinner here is equivalent to helping him make a name for himself. He wished that Ajax's players would come here to eat every day, so his business must be booming.

"Mr. Ye, eat first. If you need anything, call me anytime. I'll let someone wait outside!" After being polite to Ye Qiu, the thin man walked out of the big box with five tables and closed it. door to door.

The players have been parading around the city for the whole day today. They managed to make it through. They are so hungry that their chests stick to their backs. Now they are all busy eating these delicacies. With the coaching staff, eating with relish, they seem more reserved.

There are also two tables dedicated to staff in the Ajax first-team training building, but they are farther apart.

Ye Qiu probably didn't stand up until the players were almost full.

"First of all, I have to thank everyone. In the past season, everyone's hard work has brought about the results of the team today, but I hope that all of us will not be complacent, because this is just the beginning. In front of us is a high mountain, and we have only just reached the foot of the mountain!"

"Guys, colleagues, I believe that everyone has goals and pursuits. Today's Ajax is no longer the Ajax of a year ago, nor the Ajax of the past few years. Max, we have gained a new life, we will regain the trust and hope of more people in us, and embark on the road of conquering European football again!"

Everyone quietly listened to Ye Qiu say that after today's gathering, they will start to divide their things. They all believe that the head coach must have a lot to say.

"I have decided to stay at Ajax, and I will re-sign a four-year contract with the club, because I firmly believe that I will be able to lead our team to success!"

Ye Qiu's contract renewal was a matter of the afternoon. Ajax specially arranged negotiations with Elisa, and the negotiation was completed in an afternoon. Ye Qiu's weekly salary will be increased to 2. In this way, his annual salary It is about 100 million euros, which can only be regarded as the mid-range in the major European leagues. If it is in the four major European leagues, it can also be regarded as the lower reaches.

However, Ye Qiu's prize money for winning the championship is very generous. For example, when the team won the UEFA Cup and Dutch Cup this season, Ajax directly gave Ye Qiu a bonus of 30 euros. This may seem like a lot, but, Ajax received 548 million euros in share and rewards from UEFA just for winning the UEFA Cup.

If the game day income is included, the money will have to be doubled by at least one or two times, and this is not counting some potential income, such as the attraction to sponsors after winning the championship, and so on.

With last year's success, the team has also given a generous reward for winning the championship next season. The reward for the league championship is 30. From this, we can see the extent of Ajax's desire for the league championship. In the second group stage of the Champions League, Ye Qiu will receive another 20 euros in prize money. If he reaches the knockout stage, he will receive an additional 20 euros. After that, there will be an additional 10 euros for each round of promotion. salary.

Of course, Ye Qiu has no such hope for the time being. Is the Champions League really that easy to win?
In the UEFA Cup, although Ajax met strong teams, they were also eliminated in the dialogue between strong teams. The gap in strength between Max and Max is still very obvious.

For this point, Ye Qiu still has self-knowledge, but his thinking is also very simple, anyway, he just fights it out!

"I know," Ye Qiu left his seat and slowly came to the players, "Some of you players have received interest from some top teams, and maybe even have some contacts, but I want Just to remind you, you are still young, very young, what is the most important thing to you right now?"

"Are you making money?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile, "Around the world, every year there will be a group of young players who are very eye-catching, and some are even better than you. Among them, the lack of opportunities after the transfer occupies a very large proportion!"

"For you young people in their 20s, the most important thing is to get the opportunity to practice in the game, just like Saidu!" Ye Qiu patted Sedu Keita on the shoulder, "Why did you behave in Marseille? Bad? It’s because they don’t trust you enough and feel that you are young and lack strength, but in reality?”

Seydu Keita kept nodding his head. After coming to Ajax, Ye Qiu trusted him, and he was surrounded by a group of excellent teammates. These gave him the opportunity and environment to fully improve himself, so he did not intend to leave Ajax.

"Don't worry, head, I have no intention of leaving!"

"Sensible!" Ye Qiu praised, "The most important thing for you now is not to transfer, but to work hard to improve your own strength. Compared with top players such as Go, Zidane and Ronaldo, even Ruud van Nistelrooy who switched to Manchester United is just a fraction of a sesame seed."

Today Ruud van Nistelrooy has not yet reached the point of being the king of the small penalty area. He is just a strong center forward who came out of the Eredivisie League. It was Huntelaar when he switched to Real Madrid.

"So, the most important thing for players is to rely on strength to speak. With enough strength, you can get as high a salary as you want. You can get what you want. If one day, you have the ability If you can show that I and all Ajax players feel that you can't play without you, then congratulations, I will give you the highest salary in the club!"

"However, I have to remind you, don't be blind, the rich team may not be as good as you imagined, Gerald, who came from La Masia, showed the strength of a top midfielder in Valencia , but one season later, he returned to Barcelona, ​​but ended up spending a season on the bench, does he still have the power and prestige of a year ago?"

This is definitely a naked lesson!
The reason why Ye Qiu said Barcelona was not because of targeting, but because Ajax is relatively familiar with Barcelona, ​​and this case is very typical. The same example will exist in every club, but each has its own differences.

"We are a whole. I can say it bluntly. My goal is to become the strongest team in Europe and achieve the same strength as in Van Gaal. I believe that everyone here will become the team's success. Ji Shi, what does this represent, I believe you don't need to say more, you understand!"

If Ajax can return to the pinnacle of European football, then their group of people is Seedorf, Kluivert, Davis, and players of De Boer's level. If the top European stars perform well, it is not a problem to go directly to the giants to play the main force.

"Head!" Ibrahimovic hesitated for a moment after Ye Qiu finished speaking. Elisa knew that Arsenal had indeed contacted him, and he believed that Ye Qiu knew too. It was Arsenal and several other teams who were interested in him, but now, he decided to stay.

"I won't leave, I decided to stay and fight with you!" The Swede stood up and said.

"That's right, boss, we won't leave!" Robben also stood up, and he admired Ye Qiu now.

"Head, we never thought of leaving Ajax!" Van der Vaart and Sneijder also stood up to express their views.

The players expressed their opinions one after another, and Ye Qiu was very satisfied with it.

In fact, only Ye Qiu has the ability to do this, because this group of players was invited to Ajax by Ye Qiu when he was insignificant, and he personally cultivated them. The mentor-student friendship established during the period is often stronger than ever.

This is why Ye Qiu is so confident that he will be able to keep the players.

"I assure you, within four years, we will be able to stand on top of Europe!" Ye Qiu promised with great confidence.

…………

…………

After the last class, the team announced its disbandment, but Ye Qiu still had a lot of things to do.

The first is the team's contract renewal issue. The contract renewals of several players including Ibrahimovic and Lucio are in the club's plan. Therefore, Ye Qiu took advantage of this rare opportunity to directly send the players Their contract renewals have all been done.

Together with Ye Qiu's own contract renewal, several contract renewals were announced on the third day after the team paraded around the city, and a huge press conference was held. After all, Ajax is no longer a Ajax years ago, now Ajax is a strong team in the Netherlands, very influential in Europe, every move will attract more fans and media attention.

At this press conference, the club announced the contract extension between Ye Qiu and the players, and asked Ye Qiu to accept interviews from reporters.

"No team's success happens overnight. If a team wants to become a strong team, it must have enough accumulation. Our results this season are indeed good, but we are not yet a strong European team." As a team, we need more time to adjust and put in more effort to keep ourselves improving."

"I am very happy. The club is very rational and calm, and my players have always maintained a heart full of hunger for victory and honor. I am full of hope for the future of the team. I guarantee that in the new season, Ah Jax will be stronger than in the past, and Ajax will move towards a higher goal in the new season."

Regarding Ye Qiu's answer, the reporters present generally responded positively. After all, Ajax is young and full of strength.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, do you mean the European Champions Cup by the higher goal?" A reporter asked a question that I believe will make all Ajax fans feel excited and excited.

"We've been out of the Champions League for two years. I don't think it's what Ajax deserves. We should get more chances to prove ourselves in Europe. We should show more in Europe. Strong competitiveness, we will proudly tell all our opponents in the European Champions Cup next season that the proud, powerful and frightening young guards --- Ajax is back Already!"

There was a round of warm applause at the scene, and many people admired Ye Qiu's bold words.

Perhaps it will be difficult for this young team to make a difference in the UEFA Champions League next season, but just because of their fighting spirit and courage, it is enough to look forward to. Stanley will continue to be full of vigor and unstoppable like this season.

Ye Qiu gave a positive and affirmative reply to the team's contract renewal with several important players. He believed that maintaining the integrity of the team framework is an important factor for the team to maintain its combat effectiveness. He said that after a season of running-in and improvement , Ajax has found its own way to victory.

"We will successfully create our unique technical and tactical style of Ajax, and we will use our own methods to prove our own strength!" Ye Qiu's words also firmly expressed his position, denying that Ajax would The team's tactics were reformed.

In fact, after a season of exploration, Ye Qiu has already clearly noticed where the team's problems lie. The main problems are not enough control of the rhythm, and there are a series of problems such as excessive aggressiveness when attacking.

That is to say, the general direction is correct, what is needed is improvement in local details, so Ye Qiu determined that this path will not change, and he just wants to bring this Ajax team to play his own game. style, rather than casually to learn or even copy the current mainstream tactics.

This is also Ye Qiu's experience after two years of coaching. He always follows the path of others and can never walk out of the shadow of others. Only by absorbing the essence of others and integrating his own thoughts and styles can he walk out of his own path.

Ye Qiu's words were published in the major newspapers in the Netherlands and even in Europe the next day. The words of the newly promoted UEFA Cup champion coach were evaluated by some people as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and his courage is incredible. Jia, but some people think that Ye Qiu is being arrogant.

When doubts arose, Cruyff, who was far away in Barcelona, ​​highly recognized Ye Qiu.

"Young people should be full of vigor, vigor, innovation, and challenge. Is it possible to be as stubborn as us old men? I am optimistic about Ye Qiu and his Ajax. I believe that next season Ajax will surprise in Europe!"

Leo Benhak, Ajax's technical director and famous European coach, also believes, "Ye Qiu's remarks are a bit publicized, but it reflects the performance of a young head coach leading a young team. His high fighting spirit will undoubtedly bring a breath of fresh air to European football and even world football!"

Even UEFA President Johansen said with a smile when he was asked about this by reporters in an interview, "We hope that more and more Ye Qiu will join the football industry, for this The industry has injected more fresh blood!"
