The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 14 Stars in Amateur Teams
This black player can't tell his age, after all, his dark skin conceals his true age.

He is not small, should be about 1 meters, his body looks very strong, not very strong, but it gives people a very tiger-headed feeling, especially when he runs on the court, his explosive power and speed are very fast, and his movements Very flexible, with the flexibility and drive of a typical black player.

Ye Qiu and Roland watched for a while, and they both found that this black player's skills are not very good, but he has good basic skills. On the offensive end, he relies more on his own speed. This kind of play is very lethal in an amateur team, facing a group of amateur players whose physical speed and speed are not as good as his.

"He's the one you're looking at?" Roland had already noticed Ye Qiu's eyes, and he couldn't see anything good about this player.

Ye Qiu smiled, "Can't you see?"

"I really can't see it!" Roland almost rants. This guy's skills are a lot in the Ajax youth training camp.

Of course, it is undeniable that his physical fitness is indeed very good. He has all the physical advantages of black people, and because of this, he can rampage in the frontcourt, but can such a person enter Ajax?

"This guy is very diligent and desperate!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"There are so many desperate players on the court!" Roland also felt that this should not be a reason.

Ye Qiu looked at his assistant and reminded him, "However, with such good physical fitness, such fast speed, such ability to run, and willingness to fight like this after playing on the court, how many are there? Tell me about it!" "

At this moment, Roland really couldn't answer, and he began to feel that if he really wanted to talk about advantages, this could barely be regarded as one.

"And have you noticed, this kid's skills are not good, but when he is stuck and defending, it is very interesting!"

To examine a player's defense, the key is to look at these aspects.

First of all, whether he can detect and follow up the opponent's air-cutting players in time, whether he can make predictions in time, and stand in his position, and whether he can fill in the loopholes in his defensive formation in the first place.

It also depends on the player's ability in selection, whether he is accurate in the selection timing of the area position and marking.

Even though he is a midfielder, when his team loses the ball, he does a good job in these aspects, coupled with his hard work and ability to run, so Ye Qiu feels that although this player is lackluster in offense, his defense is very good. The performance at the end does have potential.

After hearing Ye Qiu's explanation, Roland suddenly realized at this moment that Ye Qiu had already said before that he was looking for a defender when he came here this time?
"Do you think this guy has a future as a defender?" Roland couldn't believe it. Judging by the appearance of this kid, he must be in his 20s at least, and he is in the amateur league. He must not have a strong sense of tactics. He switches from front to back, is it possible?
"How do you know if you don't try?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Roland was speechless for a moment.

At this time, the players on the training ground had finished their training session, and they walked off the training ground covered in sweat one by one.

Ye Qiu greeted Roland and walked towards the black player. At this time, other people in the training ground also noticed the two strangers who appeared suddenly, and immediately paid attention to them.

"Hello, I'm the head coach of Ajax's second team, and my name is Ye Qiu!" Ye Qiu walked to the black player, handed out his business card, and introduced himself, "Can I have a good talk with you? "

"Ajax?" The black player's dark skin couldn't tell if he was surprised, but his eyes were wide open.

That’s right, for him who is an amateur club in the French regional league, Ajax, the holy land of youth training, is definitely a superior existence. Hearing this name on weekdays can only be awe-inspiring. How can he think of Ajax? Will Stanley's coach come to his door?

"Yes, our scout here recommended you to me, Eric Abidal, right?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Roland on the side was wondering, since when did Ajax's scouts pay attention to this guy?

"Yes, sir!" Abidal was a little restrained.

Ye Qiu tried his best to look like he was smiling kindly, but in fact, his smile was really friendly.

"I'm the manager of Ajax's second team, my team needs a defender and our scouts told me I should come here because there's a great player here!"

"Me?" Abidal was a little flattered, even in disbelief.

"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded, but shook his head again, "I think your performance in the midfield and frontcourt is a mess!"

Before Abidal was disappointed, Ye Qiu continued: "But I found that although you don't have many bright spots on offense, you have the potential to develop in the defense line. I believe you should also feel this way. , that is on the court, when you have the ball and you want to attack, you feel overwhelmed, or you always make some inappropriate moves."

"But when you don't have the ball and you're on defense, you know pretty quickly what you're supposed to do, right?"

This is what Ye Qiu discovered on the court just now. He felt that Abidal was always hesitant when attacking with the ball, but he was always decisive when defending, so he didn't make much contribution on the offensive end, especially Most of them are playing their own speed and rampaging, disrupting the defense, but they can always help the team in defense.

"How do you know?" Abidal looked at Ye Qiu dumbfounded. He even suspected that this guy was a roundworm in his stomach. He could know everything he was thinking. Could this be the eyes of a real scout?

Ye Qiu pretended to be unpredictable and smiled, "There is no way to say this kind of thing, you can only rely on experience and judgment, but I can say with certainty that if you continue to develop in the middle and front courts, you will only be able to play in the midfield at most in your life." Playing in the lower leagues because your skills simply can't support you to the top leagues, but..."

After a pause on purpose, Ye Qiu aroused Abidal's interest and made him look up, his eyes revealing a question before continuing: "If you switch to the backcourt and play as a defender, I think you have Enough potential to be a first-class defender in France, or even a first-class defender in Europe, that's what I'm here for!"

"French top-notch? European top-notch?" Ye Qiu's two words were enough to make Abidal dizzy.

He has lived all his life until he is 20 years old. He has been playing football since he was a child because of his interest, but no one has ever told him that he can become a first-class player in France. Even in the amateur league, he performed very well, but more people would I think his highest achievement is to play as a substitute in a professional club in a low-level league, relying on his physical fitness.

But now, an Ajax head coach came to tell him that you can become the first class in France and the first class in Europe.

Dizzy, completely dizzy!

"I know it's hard for you to believe, but there are many players who have been buried for the rest of their lives just because they couldn't find their correct position!" Ye Qiu was not in a hurry to convince Abidal, but looked very patient , "Have you heard of Ruud van Nistelrooy in PSV?"

"Yeah!" Abidal nodded. This guy scored a lot of goals in the Eredivisie, and Manchester United, Real Madrid and many other giants are staring at him. In Europe, as long as anyone who pays a little attention to football, who has never heard of him?
"You may not know that Ruud van Nistelrooy used to play as a sweeper, then as a central defender, then as a defensive midfielder, then as a central midfielder, then as an avant-garde, and finally as a forward. This is how Van Nistelrooy is now, and I can One thing is for sure, if Ruud van Nistelrooy had always played at centre-back, he would never have reached the level he is now in his lifetime!"

The purpose of Ye Qiu telling him this example is to tell him that whether a professional player can become a talent depends on his own strength, but it is also very important to find out his position and positioning.

Everyone has more or less the desire to become famous and to prove their abilities in front of the world, but some people have never had the opportunity, and some people have the opportunity but failed to grasp it. Only those who have the opportunity and can grasp the opportunity can realize their wishes.

Abidal is a black immigrant who lives in this small village on the outskirts of Lyon. He likes to play football and hopes that he can shine on the football field like those stars on TV. But in the past, he never Can find opportunities.

Now, the appearance of Ye Qiu, the head coach of Ajax's second team, seemed like God opened a door for him.

The key is, does he dare to take this step?

Just when Abidal was hesitating whether to step out, he heard a shout from the side of the court.

"Hey, who's seducing our player?"

Ye Qiu looked over and saw a fat middle-aged French man trotting over from the side. Looking at his body, it was not easy for him to walk, but he was still able to trot, so he was out of breath, as if he was about to die.

"Eric is Ducherey's signed player. If you want to take him away, you can pay a transfer fee!" The obese middle-aged man was confident.

Ye Qiu was taken aback when he heard that, "Transfer fee? Aren't you an amateur team?"

"Wrong!" The obese middle-aged man is very good at reckoning, "We are not amateurs, we are a semi-professional team, and I have subsidized them, so he is a part-time job with me!"

Amateur and semi-professional, this is indeed difficult to define, regardless of whether there is a contract or not, especially when it comes to cross-border transactions.

"Uncle Benham!" Abidal called out with a bitter face.

"Shut up!" The obese middle-aged man named Benham shouted, "If they want to take you away, they will naturally have to pay us a transfer fee, otherwise how can a small team like ours continue to operate?"

Ye Qiu thought about it for a while, and immediately understood.

Running an amateur team in such a small place requires a lot of investment, and this obese middle-aged man does not look like a rich man, and it is difficult to survive, so when he heard that there was a team coming to poach people, he immediately made an offer The code requires a transfer fee.

"10 US dollars, I'll take him away!" Ye Qiu also felt that the problem was not a big deal, so he treated it as a generosity to Ajax, supporting this amateur team to overcome its operational difficulties.

"10?" That Benham put on a dismissive expression.

But before he could bargain again, Ye Qiu shook his head resolutely, "I'm just the head coach of the second team, and the price can only be so high. If you can't accept it, there's nothing you can do!" Turning to Roland, "Let's go!"

Seeing that Ye Qiu really turned around and was about to leave, Abidal became anxious, "Uncle Benham!"

Benham watched Abidal grow up, and he was also concerned about his future. As soon as he saw that Ye Qiu was leaving, he immediately shouted behind him: "Okay, okay, 10 is 10. Better than nothing!"

Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows at Roland, and turned around with a smile. If he remembers correctly, Monaco seems to have paid 25 US dollars for poaching Abidal from here.

"In this case, let's make an agreement right away, and I'll call Amsterdam again, and I promise I won't lose you a cent!" Ye Qiu decided to cut the mess quickly and end the matter.

"What kind of agreement do you need, you take it away directly, and you sign the contract with him!" Benham shook his head and sighed, always as if he had suffered a big loss, but soon regained his spirit, "By the way, Aja Mister Kesley, I have a very skilled player here, his name is Pat, if you want to go and see, as long as 50, he will belong to you!"

Ye Qiu was sweating all over his face when he heard this, he felt that this guy had tasted the sweetness, and was about to change his career to become a human trafficker.

After finally getting rid of Benham's entanglement, Ye Qiu made an appointment with Abidal. As soon as he arrived at Ajax and the contract was bound, he immediately remitted 10 US dollars to Benham. After all, Ajax Abidal doesn't have to worry about his size.

And because Abidal is in an amateur team, there is no problem of the transfer period. He can also play for Ajax immediately, but he has to tell his family, but he promises that Monday morning Be sure to show up at Ajax's training camp and report.

After this matter was settled, Ye Qiu felt relieved.

Originally, he planned to look for Frank Ribery, but Ribery has been changing jobs all the time in the past few years, and he doesn't know which team he is in now, so he should wait for a chance in the future and then look for it slowly. .

But what he didn't know was that he had unknowingly offended another Frank.

A manager who has a pivotal position in Dutch football!

…………

…………

Frank Arnesen is a very proud person. Although his football resume is not very brilliant, this does not prevent him from becoming a well-known club manager in Europe. He has always believed in a principle, who has the stronger Whoever has more power should have more power.

Perhaps, this can also be understood as his inner desire for power and his strong desire for control.

But he has enough chips to prove his right and wise.

In 1994, he found a man in Brazil with an ordinary appearance, mediocre temperament, uneven teeth, the front teeth were even more frighteningly exposed, and the hair was thick and disheveled, just like a bird's nest, the whole person looked like Dirty, a standard pauper from the slums of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

But at his suggestion, his agent paid $5000 for orthodontic treatment, his hair was shaved, and he began to dress tastefully. After the World Cup, this person joined Ahmedabad with a worth of $470 million. Eindhoven, where Nathan worked, became famous in one fell swoop. Two years later, he transferred to Barcelona for US$1950 million, setting a world record at the time, and he became the most dazzling star in world football.

He is Ronaldo!
This is Arnesen's greatest pride in his life, but the deeds he likes to talk about most are not only Ronaldo, like Stam, the latter was dug by Arnesen from Willem II, and he switched to the Red Devils Manchester United at a high price three years later , Last year there was Van Nistelrooy, who was unknown in Heerenveen. After one season, he scored 34 goals in 31 games. Van Nistelrooy has become one of the most dazzling scorers in Europe.

All of this made Arnesen proud, and his reputation in European football also increased, and he even started to have an illusion that the players he liked should follow him.

Not long ago, his scouting network submitted a report to him about a striker in the youth team of Doetinchem Graf Sharp near Eindhoven. He spoke highly of him and thought he would be the new Van Nistelrooy of the Netherlands.

Van Nistelrooy was brought in from Heerenveen by Arnessen himself. Of course, he knows Ruud van Nistelrooy's ability, and he also clearly knows the value of Ruud van Nistelrooy. Not long ago, he made harsh words to the outside world, wanting to If you get Van Nistelrooy, you will not come to PSV without 2000 million US dollars. One can imagine how amazing the value of the new Van Nistelrooy is.

In recent years, Arnesen's management in Eindhoven has become more and more excellent. He has introduced excellent semi-finished products at low prices, cultivated them a little, and sold them at high prices after performing well. The league is becoming more and more competitive. On the other hand, it has also made PSV a lot of money, and its financial situation is very good.

Of course, with the Philips Group as the backstage, there is no need to worry about Eindhoven's finances, but Arnesen is still proud of it.

But just when he was about to attack that Huntelaar, he suddenly received a message.

Accompanied by his parents, Huntelaar went to De Tokmoorster in Amsterdam, where he was received by the head coach of the second Ajax team, Ye Qiu, and the two sides signed a four-year professional contract. Traal has been an Ajax player ever since.

This immediately made Arnesen fly into a rage!
"Ye Qiu?" Arnesen had no impression of this person at all. He didn't even know when such a person suddenly appeared in Ajax, but it was obvious that this person ruined his wishful thinking. !

A Huntelaar is nothing to Arnesen, but he feels offended because Doetinchem is right under his nose, and Huntelaar is the person he likes. It took the meat from his mouth abruptly, and he couldn't take it anymore.

"Sooner or later, you will have to pay the price!" Arnesen remembered this awkward name for him.
