The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 149 Triple Crown?
The Young Guard ended the Bayern dynasty!
The German kicker left an impressive blood-red font on the title of the second day, which is somewhat shocking.

"Bayern Munich in the first half did not pose too much threat to Ajax tactically. The Dutch youth army skillfully used the high defense and oppression after the opening to dominate the rhythm of the game. They used their young, Fast, high-impact style of football that completely dragged the aging Bayern Munich into hell."

"Effenberg couldn't keep up with Ajax throughout the first half. Not only that, but the two goals of Ajax are impressive, especially the two senior players in this team. The tall players, center Ibrahimovic from Sweden, and high school defender Lucio from Brazil are all impressive."

"It's a weird team, we can't imagine that a center forward of this size has the same finesse as a smaller player, and we can't imagine a central defender daring to press directly into the opponent's penalty area. Headed in and scored, but it's all in this Ajax team."

"Ye Qiu, the young coach from China, dominated the first half. His team was well rested, obviously better in stamina and form. Bayern Munich's poor defense gave Ajax more Opportunity."

"Hitzfeld is a great coach. The continuous substitutions at halftime changed the situation of the game. Salihamidzic once again played the role of Bayern Munich's offensive propeller. Wings are inserted, and Pizarro's appearance is to polish Bayern Munich's offensive spear."

"It's hard for us to guess exactly what kind of thinking and strategy Ye Qiu and Heathfield had before the match, but we can finally conclude that Ye Qiu won and Heathfield lost!"

"The spoils of winning are for Ye Qiu and his Ajax to let fans all over the world know them again, while the price for Hitzfeld's loss is the end of Bayern's dynasty and his own precarious position."

This season, Hitzfeld's coaching position in Bayern Munich is not solid. It's no secret that Beckenbauer has objections to some of the iron-blooded coach's practices, especially in signings.

The biggest contradiction is the issue of Sforza. This former favorite, whom Heathfield advocated to introduce, has always been excluded by Heathfield from the main lineup after he came to Bayern Munich from Kaiserslautern. This has become a contradiction between Heathfield and the management.

There is also the issue of strengthening the defense line. Heathfield wanted to introduce midfielders during the winter break, but Bayern Munich felt that the defense line should be strengthened, and one of the disputes was Lucio.

This Brazilian central defender performed well and was appreciated by Beckenbauer and other management, but Hitzfeld believed that this Brazilian central defender had too strong a desire to attack. Once he joined Bayern, it would only bring Bayern's already weak defense. to greater danger.

The previous inquiry to Ye Qiu at the FIFA awards ceremony was nothing more than a compromise made by Hitzfeld to the management, but after Ajax showed an uncompromising attitude, Bayern Munich gave up the idea.

But in this game, Lucio's excellent offensive ability and solid defense will make Bayern and Hitzfeld re-recognize the strength of this Brazilian central defender.

At least Bild used [Ajax's Mateus] to describe Lucio's outstanding performance in this game in its own section. They believed that in this high-level contest, the two The two giants decided the trend of the game, that is Lucio of Ajax and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

But Bild also pointed out at the end of the report, "After Bayern Munich launched a fierce attack in the second half, Ajax was obviously physically powerless, especially as time went on, this sign became more and more obvious. As a result, Bayern can aggressively overwhelm the mad attack!"

"In the 67th minute of the second half, Robben's sharp counterattack caused Kahn to attack and almost broke the Bayern Munich goal here. It seems more like an accident, and it is worth thinking about by Ye Qiu. That's obviously something's wrong with his team."

"Young players are always inexperienced and always eager to use up all their strength in the shortest possible time. Ajax's impactful style of play is very threatening, but it cannot last."

"But we can't deny that Ye Qiu and Ajax have become the biggest bright spots in the European arena this season. A breath of fresh air, let us see the renaissance and re-emergence of passionate Dutch football."

"However, the advantages and disadvantages of this team are equally obvious. Anticlimax is an old problem of Ajax. We have every reason to believe that if Ye Qiu can solve this problem well, I believe that Ajax will win in the European arena." It will be more competitive.”

Bild's remarks are polite words, and the implication is that if this problem cannot be corrected, Ajax's Champions League is useless.

Compared with the comments of the German media, the Dutch media gave full praise to Ajax's performance.

The Amsterdam Evening Post uses "Dignity" as its front page headline.

In this comment, they highly appreciated Ye Qiu's great progress in coaching Ajax for two years.

"Since the peak of the Van Gaal period, Ajax has become the fastest-falling champion of the Champions League. The impact of the Bosman Act has completely made Ajax a player training factory for other giants. We once Time after time we have seen our own players leave De Tokmorst, time after time we have seen our own players wear other teams' jerseys and knock our beloved team out of Europe."

"The past few years have been full of darkness and fear for Ajax, but after Ye Qiu took charge of Ajax, he brought us light and courage. He used one game after another to ignite the He has rekindled the fire in all Ajax people and rekindled it in all of us."

"We have had enough humiliation in the European arena. Now, we must regain our dignity in the Champions League. With our feet and our performance, we will regain the dignity that belongs to Ajax. !"

Schulder Mosso of the Common Daily is already an old friend of Ye Qiu, and he personally wrote a review, saying that Van Prager made a very wise decision in the summer two years ago.

"Nowadays, no one will doubt Ye Qiu's coaching ability. He has proved his strength and level time and time again with his performance on the football field. He is worthy of the trust and support given to him by the club. Thanks to the respect given to him by the players and the respect given by the fans, he has won the affirmation and appreciation of the city of Amsterdam."

"We should be proud that Ye Qiu and his team were able to qualify as No.1 in the group with their heads held high, but we should not be blindly arrogant because of this. We should see that in this game against Bayern Munich In the game, we were almost equalized by our opponents, or even reversed tragically."

"I think the victory of this match should be the victory of Ye Qiu's adventurous spirit. He won the bet on Heathfield, but such a victory itself is not very convincing, because there is a certain degree of convincing in itself. element of luck.”

"We have to recognize the current situation of the team. Ajax is still unable to keep pace with the top European teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United in terms of strength. Not only that, the team has shown anticlimax since the group stage The shortcomings have not been well resolved.”

"There are shortcomings and deficiencies. This is a good thing. This means that this Ajax team still has a lot of room for improvement."

"I still remember that in an interview with Ye Qiu not long ago, he said to me that the best Ajax is still far away, but what will the best Ajax look like? , When it will appear, he himself does not know."

"I am also an explorer, I am crossing the river by feeling the stones, so I will try various directions, try various methods, may fail, may have to pay a very painful price, but I believe that only In this way, we can find ways to make ourselves and the team stronger, and we can usher in the strongest Ajax!"

"This is Ye Qiu's very sincere words. I am very happy to see that this old friend has always maintained a calm and rational attitude. We also wish him and his Ajax to continue to bring us more Good football!"

Schulder Mosso's comments were reprinted by many newspapers, but there was also concern in many media outlets, that is, as Ajax's performance in the Champions League is getting better and better, whether the team There is still enough strength to retain this group of stars in the team, which is a problem.

Both Van Prager and Ye Qiu have expressed their absolute confidence in this on different occasions, saying that Ajax will do their best to ensure the stability of the team lineup and the team's combat effectiveness.

…………

…………

In the 28th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Vitesse away.

Ronald Koeman's team knew that Ajax had just had a tough battle with Bayern Munich in the Champions League, so they were at the Gerredomen Stadium, waiting for work, showing that the horses and horses are facing the tired army Ajax.

In this hand-to-hand battle, Ajax and Waiters played very fiercely, although Ajax's semi-substitute lineup performed very hard in this game, including Van der Meyde and Hleb. The players all showed a strong desire to win, but in the end Ajax still lost 1:3 away.

This is also the worst loss for Ajax so far this season, conceding a total of 3 goals. For Ye Qiu, who always pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, it is a very rare fiasco.

The central defender combination of Kolo Touré and Lucio was sluggish in the game and made many mistakes, while the only bright spot for Ajax was the attacking cooperation between Hleb and Van der Meyde, but they were unable to save it. team.

Ajax suffered a disastrous away game, and Eindhoven beat Heerenveen 4:1 at home, successfully reducing the point disadvantage to 2 points, and Eindhoven was eliminated in the UEFA Cup, Gretz's team So far, only the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup can be contested, so Gretz almost broke the boat and devoted all his energy to the league.

"As I said, Ajax will definitely make mistakes. Our chance has come. Now is the time for us to sprint for the championship!" Gretz took the initiative to ignite the war with Ajax, announcing that this game The battle for the A-League championship was completely heated up, and many Dutch media also joined this battle one after another, accusing Ye Qiu and Ajax of their poor performance.

Ye Qiu didn't blame the players for the loss, but took the initiative to take the blame, but he refused to admit that he made a mistake.

"You guys praised us last time we came out first in the Champions League and then just a few days later you're slamming us for a defeat and I think it's bad for me and my team. It's all very unfair, because we are not your playthings."

"Anyone who wants to comment on the gains and losses of a team and a coach, it should be after one season. At least we still have a 2-point lead in the Eredivisie. Have we lost? Eindhoven reversed Is it? Why lose a game, as if it's the end of the world?"

Facing Ye Qiu's questioning, many reporters were speechless, because when they wrote the headlines, they wanted to catch the readers' attention in the first place, so they wrote whatever horror they wanted, without considering the consequences at all.

"However, Mr. Ye Qiu, at this time, Ajax suffered such a disastrous defeat. Don't you admit that the team's combat effectiveness was indeed weakened because of the two-line battle? Can you guarantee that, Ah Jax won't make the same mistake again and lose points?"

A middle-aged reporter stood up and asked a lot of questions in one breath, "Please remember, Mr. Ye Qiu, your team is only 2 points ahead of Eindhoven, not 20 points!" After finishing speaking , he sat down.

Ye Qiu stared at the reporter, he felt provoked, "Mr. reporter, I don't think I need your reminder, because I know the situation better than you. For me, I am 2 years ahead of Eindhoven points, that's enough, I'm going to decide the Eredivisie title this season!"

Seeing that reporter stood up again, and wanted to say something, Ye Qiu didn't give him a chance to continue speaking, and said into the microphone: "You don't need to ask me why, it's because I have this confidence, I believe in me The players are equally confident, please tell Gretz that I said it."

"Go for your runner-up!"

After speaking, Ye Qiu stood up, obviously wanting to end this press conference early.

The reporter from Eindhoven was behind him, roaring angrily at his back, "It's too arrogant, take a look, this incompetent Chinese is really too arrogant, too arrogant, he Who do you think you are?"

Many reporters close to Eindhoven accused Ye Qiu one after another, and said that they must publish these words in the newspaper, and let all the fans see clearly the arrogant face of this guy, and hope that Ye Qiu Because Huo Wen reversed Ajax, it was best to slap the Chinese in the face.

But after a week of rest, Ajax regrouped and beat Groningen 4-0 at the Arena, while Eindhoven played very embarrassingly away against Den Bosch, and finally relied on Hesse Link's goal narrowly beat Den Bosch's relegated team.

At this time, the draw for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League was also successfully released in Nyon.

The eight teams that entered the Champions League are Ajax, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the group, Manchester United, Roma, Panathinaix and Deportivo at the second place in the group. According to the lottery rules, the same group avoids, the first in the group faces the second in the group.

This time Ajax got a good lottery, an excellent lottery, because Ye Qiu's team got Panathinaikos from Greece, and Real Madrid, which was also in the upper half, got Roma. The winners of the duels will meet in the semi-finals.

Liverpool and Leverkusen, Deportivo and Manchester United are both divided into the bottom half.

Ye Qiu was very satisfied with the results of the lottery. Even if he met Real Madrid in the semi-finals, he felt impeccable.

In the middle of the week, Ajax went to Greece to challenge Panathinaikos in an away game. Even in the away game, Ye Qiu's team aggressively attacked the banner of football. Odd's goal, defeated Panathinaix 2:0 in the away game, and successfully stepped into the semi-finals with half of his foot.

On the weekend, Ajax challenged PSV Eindhoven away, and the result was a 1:1 draw between the two sides at the Philips Stadium.

Gretz's slogan of reversing Ajax at the Philips Stadium before the game was completely shattered. The two teams still firmly maintained a gap of 2 points, while the media close to Eindhoven believed that Eindhoven still had a chance to win. If there is a chance, I believe it will be able to create miracles.

Three days later, Ye Qiu played against Panathinaikos at the Arena Stadium with a lineup of half main force and half substitute. In the end, he defeated the Greek opponent 3:1, and successfully stepped on the corpse of the Greek powerhouse with a total score of 5:1. to the semifinals.

In another game, Real Madrid finally defeated Capello's Roma 3:1 with a total score of two rounds, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. They will compete with Ajax for one of the places in the final.

Back in the Eredivisie League, Ajax immediately showed a strong offensive power, beating Sparta Rotterdam 4-0 in an away game, and directly stepped this Rotterdam team into the relegation zone.

And three days later, ushered in the Dutch Cup semi-finals, Ajax beat PSV Eindhoven 3-0 at home.

Gretz's team just had a bloody battle with Feyenoord, who has lost hope of winning the championship, at the Philips Stadium. In the end, it was Ajax and Utrecht who reached the final.

This immediately drove the whole of Amsterdam into a complete madness, because Ajax has advanced on three lines this season. If the front line can persist until the end, then Ye Qiu will lead the team to reproduce the triple crown dominance of Ajax at the pinnacle of Michels in 1972!

For a time, the whole city fell into madness.
