The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 201 Fighting Barcelona Again
Ajax slapped Juventus three times!
Bianconeri's botched battle!
Juventus, who is hard-spoken and can't hide his worthlessness!

The magician Ye Qiu defeated the silver fox Lippi with cunning!
Ajax has made a perfect cut, and may hope to reach the top again!
……

The next day, all major European mainstream media reported on the game that took place at the Arenal Stadium last night. Almost everyone believed that Ajax performed perfectly in this game. Juventus From beginning to end, Si failed to grasp even the slightest initiative.

German Kicker even devoted a large article to report on Ajax's head coach Ye Qiu. They believed that it was Ye Qiu's strategizing in this game that allowed Ajax to achieve such a perfect performance. Defeating Juventus with a stance, became the favorite to win the Champions League after Real Madrid.

"In the past, we always thought that Chinese football was very backward. They even had few players who could gain a foothold in the top European leagues. Not ideal, we always thought their football was terrible."

"But now, we have to admit that we all misunderstood Chinese football in the past. At the very least, they have a very, very good and very, very young talented magician. Justify yourself."

"The season in 2000 was hailed by Ajax fans as the darkest season in the club's century-old history after relegation. At that time, almost everyone was desperate for Ajax, but Ye Qiu Under the drastic reforms, they have won countless shocking honors in just three years."

"The UEFA Cup champion, the Dutch League champion, the Dutch Cup champion, the European Super Cup champion, the Dutch Super Cup champion... Now, they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons. Everyone can no longer ignore this team from the Netherlands. No one can deny that the strong Ajax of the 90s is back again."

"Ajax this time is younger, more aggressive, faster, stronger and sharper than Van Gaal's time, and what is even more shocking is that Ye Qiu spent three years building this Europa team. The team did not spend much money on Ajax. The most expensive player among all players was Van der Sar from Juventus, worth 750 million euros, but I believe that in the past two years, everyone will feel that The Ajax captain is worth every penny."

"What is even more impressive is that Ye Qiu has cultivated an outstanding talent in this team. From the time when he led the second team to win the Dutch Cup, he has cultivated Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Kidney The outstanding rookies such as Ibrahimovic, Maicon, Lucio, etc. were introduced continuously, and Ye Qiu made this Ajax team solid again. The nickname of Star Factory makes this Ajax team full of rookies."

"According to our interviews with club chairman Mr. Van Prager and several senior club employees at the Ajax training base in De Tokmoster, they all believe that Ajax has changed a lot in the past four years. From the management and administrative department to the De Tokmoorster's youth training team, almost all of them have undergone earth-shaking changes."

"Nowadays, Ajax is not only full of talents in the first team, the youth team is also a well-known strong team in the Netherlands and even in Europe, and all of this is inseparable from Ye Qiu's contribution to Ajax in the past four years. The solid foundation laid down by Si.”

"I heard that in Amsterdam, many fans refer to Ye Qiu as a [phenomenon] in the field of coaching, but many people also think that he is like a [magician] who can turn everything into gold Possibility becomes possible!"

"Therefore, after Ajax defeated Juventus 3-0 at home, Amsterdam almost carnivaled all night. Countless fans seemed to have returned to the most glorious and peak years of Ajax in the past, and they were all looking forward to it. The team can make persistent efforts and go further in the Champions League."

The so-called going further is what Schulder Mosso, a well-known reporter from the Commonwealth Daily, put forward in his column. He believes that Ajax has every chance to create greater brilliance. He believes that Ye Qiu is fully capable of The opportunity to catch up with the legendary coach Michels is to create Ajax's triple crown!
In his column, Schulde Mosso said, "Ajax's football environment is more difficult now than it was in 1972, when Michels led the team in the Dutch Cup, the Eredivisie and the European Cup. He won three championships in the Champions League and achieved Ajax's triple crown, and now Ye Qiu is walking on the legendary road that legends walked 40 years ago."

"History is moving forward. It is difficult for us to define which Ajax team is better, but as Cruyff said, if you look at it purely in terms of combat effectiveness, this Ajax team is better than Ajax. During the Triple Crown period, Ajax was more combative, stronger and more offensive than the Ajax in Van Gaal's period."

"And we all have reason to believe that Ye Qiu will follow this team and let himself be recorded in the history of Ajax, together with Michels, Van Gaal and others, tied for the most in Ajax history. Excellent legendary coach."

But Schulde Mosso also vaguely mentioned his own speculation in his column, that is, Ye Qiu is likely to leave Ajax this summer, but he said that he could not give the reason, he could only say Fate is over.

After Ajax's outstanding performance in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, more and more teams are looking at Ye Qiu. Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, almost the four major European leagues, Teams that were going to change coaches in the summer would inevitably have something to do with Ye Qiu.

Of course, not all teams are qualified to extend an olive branch to Ye Qiu. According to the English Times, if they want to win the favor of this young Chinese coach, at least they must be competitive and ambitious in the four major leagues. team.

So far, Barcelona has been pursuing Ye Qiu the most.

Cruyff's favor and appreciation for Ye Qiu has been around for a long time. With the support of this Barcelona godfather, coupled with the precedents of Cruyff and Van Gaal in the past, it seems that Ye Qiu's entry into the Nou Camp is a matter of course. , and even the media in Catalonia have been hyping up the topic of Ye Qiu being in charge of the team.

Barcelona fans are also full of expectations for Ye Qiu's arrival, but a large part of them feel that the semi-final between Ajax and Barcelona is a test for Ye Qiu, especially in the first round. Being a guest at Camp Nou is undoubtedly an interview opportunity provided by Barcelona fans to Ye Qiu.

But when Ye Qiu was interviewed by the media, he repeatedly stated that he still has a two-year contract with Ajax. His only thought now is to fulfill this contract with Ajax, and he will not consider other things. It's all about team performance.

This was also understood by the outside media as Ye Qiu's move to appease the players and fans. Before the end of the season, he was not going to talk about any related topics, and whether he would stay with the team had to wait until the end of the season.

…………

…………

In the 29th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Alkmaar away.

It was still in the first half, it was still Ajax's attack, Van der Vaart and Robben's successive goals helped Ajax take a 2-goal lead in the first half, and Van der Meyde, who came off the bench in the second half The goal gave Ajax a 3:0 advantage. In the end, although Alkmaar pulled a goal back, Ajax still defeated the opponent 3:1 in the away game.

Although in this round, Eindhoven defeated Graf Sharp 6-1 away and vented a lot of grievances, they still couldn't catch up with Ajax in the end. They could only watch from behind Ajax went away.

A week later, Arenal Stadium, rival Waalwijk.

When everyone thought that Ajax would stay strong before the away game against Barcelona, ​​Ye Qiu's team was on their own ground, beating Waalwijk 6-1, and Huntelaar scored a hat-trick , Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure and Van der Meyde scored successively.

Among them, Huntelaar, who scored the team's last goal, was also the 100th league goal scored by Ajax in the Eredivisie this season, which shocked the entire Dutch football world. Because in the history of the Eredivisie, there are only a handful of teams that can score more than 99 goals in a single season. The most recent one is PSV Eindhoven, which was the peak of the 00/105 season, with [-] goals.

But now, with four rounds left in the league, Ajax has scored 100 league goals, and they conceded only a pitiful 15 goals. The record of goals conceded is even 2 fewer than Hiddink's Eindhoven, which is very surprising.

Ajax has almost swept the entire Dutch arena. In the past two seasons, the team has improved in almost every game, and almost every time they are amazed by their outstanding performance. This group of young talents is Creating their own era, their Ajax dynasty.

Oh no, they have already created the Ajax dynasty, and now they are continuing the glory of this dynasty!
This is the evaluation of Ajax's outstanding performance by the Dutch media Volkswagen Daily.

After finishing the 30th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax went to the away game non-stop, Barcelona!

…………

…………

"If you had been sitting here a few days earlier, you would have found that Barcelona fans don't buy into the team at all, and they don't even want to come to Camp Nou to watch La Liga!"

Sitting outside the balcony of a room in a four-star hotel where Ajax stayed, looking at the streets below the hotel building, there was a lot of excitement before the big game, and Barcelona fans could be seen everywhere, anytime, anywhere. Feel the very strong atmosphere of the game.

According to Cruyff, such an atmosphere is hard to see in La Liga this season.

"Fans are very real, no matter what team they are fans of." Cruyff sighed.

The Dutch football saint came to the hotel to visit Ajax. Although he is the godfather of football in Barcelona, ​​he is also a famous star from Ajax. Therefore, it is common to visit the team before the game. After chatting with the players and the coaching staff for a while, he chatted with Ye Qiu in the room.

Today's Barcelona can no longer have extravagant hopes for the league championship and Champions League qualification. The top four of the league have no place for them. All they can strive for is to qualify for the UEFA Cup. For the proud Barcelona people, it is simply It is an unacceptable result.

Of course, no one will blame Antić for the poor results. In fact, Antić has done well enough. It was Van Gaal who really brought disaster to Barcelona. It was brilliant, but obviously still not salvageable.

When it was widely rumored that Ye Qiu would take over Camp Nou strongly, Barcelona's interim management did not come out to deny it, and signed a temporary contract with Antić that will expire after the end of the season, so everyone knows that Antić Dismissal after the odd season is inevitable, the only suspense is whether the new coach will really be Ye Qiu?

Ye Qiu doesn't think about the future at all now. He now feels that this battle at the Nou Camp is not easy, because Barcelona no longer has La Liga, and even the Champions League qualification. The only thing they can do now is What makes a difference is the Champions League. After reaching the semi-finals and meeting Ajax, I naturally want to go further.

Cruyff didn't come to be a lobbyist for Barcelona. He didn't think Ye Qiu would intentionally put water on it. He just wanted to know what Ye Qiu really thought and see if he had considered leaving. Jax.

"You know, no team will last forever, especially for a team like Ajax. Within two years, the group of players you brought out with your own hands will definitely be scattered. You The performance of your team will also be affected because of this, and you may even be dismissed because of this, which is the tragedy of a small team.”

Unlike other lobbyists, Cruyff's statement hit Ye Qiu's situation right now.

Last season, only Gilberto Silva and Seydu Keita were sold, which was the result of Ye Qiu's efforts to keep them. Now the team has reached the semi-finals again. This summer, the giants split Ajax , This is already an inevitable result. The key is not whether Ajax should sell people, but whether Ajax can sell less?
From Ye Qiu's point of view, the board of directors gave the green light to this, so even now they have not said anything, because they know that Ajax can only survive in this way and force players to stay. , There is no benefit to the club, is it possible to wait until their contracts expire and leave freely?
Sometimes professional football should be like this, only talking about interests, not about feelings.

"You know, what is the one thing I regret the most?" Cruyff asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu shook his head, but he could vaguely guess something.

"I just didn't leave Barcelona when the team was at its peak!"

This is also very realistic. If Cruyff had chosen to retire bravely, then his coaching career in Barcelona would have been perfect, without any flaws. At least not like many fans can’t help but think about him now. In the Champions League final, he was ruthlessly humiliated by Capello, and was successfully revenged by Real Madrid.

Cruyff stood up from his seat and walked to the railing of the balcony. Standing here, he could overlook the distant city of Barcelona, ​​"Only by standing higher can you see farther. Ajax has already Can't be satisfied anymore, and it's not suitable for you anymore!"

What can't be satisfied is Ye Qiu's self-motivation, what doesn't suit is Ye Qiu's strategy of insisting on the team's competitiveness. Obviously, the board of directors can't continue to accommodate Ye Qiu in this aspect, and if he stays, there is only one result in the end, which is not happy. And scattered.

Ye Qiu also stood up and smiled, "There is no doubt that you are a very good lobbyist, John, but I don't plan to think about it so much right now. For me now, I only have one thought."

Cruyff heard the implication from Ye Qiu's words, and laughed very satisfied. He admired young people with fighting spirit and self-motivation, and he also felt from the beginning to the end that the problem of Barcelona was not to change another The head coach can solve it, but it needs to be reformed from the bottom of it.

There is no doubt that Ye Qiu is the best reformer in Cruyff's view.

"That is to beat Barcelona!" Ye Qiu expressed his current thoughts.

Cruyff still maintained a smile. He felt that he had obtained the answer he wanted today, but many things have not surfaced for the time being. It seems that the candidates for Barcelona have not been officially announced yet, so Ye Qiu will definitely I won't express my opinion on anything, which is not a kind of self-defense.

"I heard that you are going to get married soon?" Cruyff asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu was slightly embarrassed. Since the media broke the news, he had answered this question countless times.

"Yes, I will go back to prepare after the league is over."

"I also heard that the bride met at Ajax?" Cruyff laughed.

Ye Qiu shook his head, "Needless to say, it must have been said by that big mouth of Van Dude."

Cruyff laughed out loud after hearing this. Although he has been away from Ajax for many years, he still has many contacts, especially Bobby Harms and Van Doud, who have a very good relationship with him, which also guarantees Cruyff can receive some inside information of Ajax anytime and anywhere.

Without a doubt, the biggest news recently is that Ye Qiu is getting married.

"How is it? Are we welcome to watch the ceremony then?" Cruyff asked.

Ye Qiu originally planned to invite Ajax players and some good executives and staff, but he believed that there must still be a lot of uninvited guests at that time, at least those all-pervasive reporters who heard that they had already started to visit Xiamen, God knows What will they do then?

In a word, this matter is getting bigger and bigger.

"Of course you are welcome, but according to our Chinese rules, you have to give a big red envelope!" Ye Qiu bit the big words hard.

How big is it?

Lord Ball Saint, you can figure it out yourself!

　I believe I don’t need to say more, everyone knows, our monthly pass is so pitiful, it’s so far behind, brothers, smash the monthly pass! ! ! ! !
