The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 206 Double Crown King

When the final whistle sounded at the Arenal Stadium, there was a frantic flow of people around the coaching bench of the home team. Some of them came from the staff seats, some came from the bench, some came from the coaching bench, some Even the staff of the Arenal Stadium poured into the stadium in one go.

At this moment, the Ajax players in the stadium have also gathered in groups of three or four to celebrate the team's championship. The Ajax fans in the stands are already prepared, They threw out the colored shreds of paper in their hands one after another, and together with the colorful stripes flying in the wind above the stadium, the entire Arena was filled with festive joy.

For this game, Ajax has been looking forward to it for a long time. This is the 29th league championship trophy in the history of Ajax, and it is also won by Ajax led by Ye Qiu. The second Eredivisie championship trophy.

Although the result has been known for a long time, after all, Ajax won the Eredivisie championship two rounds ahead of schedule, but at this moment, the players and fans are still very happy, and many fans are even obsessed with standing. In the stands, crazy dancing and dancing, venting the team's excitement and joy after winning the championship.

The red scoreboard shows the score between Ajax and Heerenveen, 3:0. Although Ajax did not try their best in this game, they still defeated Heerenveen cleanly at their home court. It also brought Ajax's final goals this season to 116.

This amazing scoring record made Ye Qiu's Ajax the team with the most goals scored in a single season in the Eredivisie in recent decades. Many people even marveled at the number of goals scored. Yu is also feeling that it will be difficult for any team to surpass Ajax's scoring record in the future.

Because of Ajax's huge number of goals, as the team's top scorer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has also risen with the tide, scoring 37 goals this season, tying the current Ajax. Van Basten, who served in the coaching staff of the Eredivisie, set the single-season scoring record in the history of the Eredivisie.

Because of this, Ibrahimovic has been hailed by the media as the new Van Basten. Even Van Basten himself feels that Ibrahimovic has unparalleled football skills. If we continue to maintain the current momentum, we will surely be able to surpass him in the future.

Ibrahimovic's 37 league goals in a single season surpassed Kezhiman's 35 goals, becoming the top scorer in the Eredivisie, and also the European Golden Boot winner, and there are many other goals in Ajax Good players, Van der Vaart has scored 21 goals in the Eredivisie this season, and Robben, Huntelaar, and Van der Meyde have also scored more than double digits.

Ajax's outstanding offensive ability has made all opponents in the entire Eredivisie frightened. In terms of defense, even if PSV have scored 20 goals in a steady manner this season, they can only concede in Ajax. In front of the excellent line of defense with 18 goals, Eindhoven's defense is still slightly inferior.

The strongest offense and the strongest defense have become Ajax's most powerful weapon in Dutch football.

Because of this, in this game, many huge photos of Ye Qiu were hung in the stands of the Arenal Stadium. Every time the fans saw Ye Qiu during the game, they would cheer and cheer in unison. To show their love and support for this young head coach.

This scene also made Ye Changming and his wife who were sitting in the stands watching the game feel proud and proud.

At first they couldn't understand what these foreigners were shouting, but later Huang Chu and Elisa told them that these people were all calling Ye Qiu, which surprised them, but also made them proud.

As a parent, who doesn't want to see their children succeed?

As long as their children are promising, parents will also be honored and honored.

Especially when they saw Ye Qiu being carried into the stadium by the Ajax players, in the middle of the stadium, just like the king, receiving deafening shouts from tens of thousands of fans in the stands, they Feel supremely honored.

But when they saw the players throwing Ye Qiu into the air one by one, they were frightened again. Zhang Yuxiu kept yelling to be careful, lest one of them miss the connection and let Ye Qiu fall to the ground. It must have been a hard fall.

While Ajax was celebrating wildly, the temporary podium was also being built quickly.

This time the Dutch Football Association specially arranged for Ajax legend Rinus Michels and the chairman of the Dutch Football Association Henk Kessler to jointly present the Eredivisie Champions Trophy to Ajax, and Ajax On the Si side, the captain of the team, Edwin van der Sar, took the stage to receive the trophy on behalf of Ajax.

When the old captain Edwin van der Sar took over the trophy from Rinus Michels and Henk Kessler and held it high above his head, the entire Arena was filled with cheers again. The broken confetti slowly fell, covering the sky above the stadium, so that everyone in the stadium can feel the joy of the festival.

After that, Edwin van der Sar led his teammates onto the podium together. They raised the championship trophy above their heads, stood close together, and let the reporters on the scene take pictures. Unspeakable excitement and excitement.

Ye Qiu stood in the distance, watching all this silently, with a smile on his face, he felt that for this moment, all the efforts and sacrifices he had made in the past were worthwhile and all were rewarded.

He has lost, won, cried, laughed, and only after experiencing it can he really discover that only when you have worked hard and received rewards in the end will you feel satisfied from the bottom of your heart , so that you can't help but want to laugh every time you think of it, and smile knowingly.

He believes that as long as you are willing to work hard and give, you will not be afraid of losing, because losing is just one of the processes on your way to winning.

"How do you feel?" Michels walked up to Ye Qiu's side at some point.

As a person who came out of Ajax, he is happy for his parent team to be where it is today.

"It's nothing special. We won the championship trophy last year!" Ye Qiu pointed at the group of guys scrambling for the trophy, as if smiling, "Damn it, I won it last year. Is it worth it for you?"Never seen the world!

Seeing Ye Qiu's expression and hearing his tone, Michels couldn't help laughing. He is also in a good mood today.

Recently, his health has been worsening year after year. He was also very upset when he heard the news of Ajax's fall, and then he heard the news about Ye Qiu, especially from Cruyff. He heard some comments over there, which made him full of hope for Ye Qiu's team. Now this team has finally played the style of the Ajax team that roamed Europa in the past.

To a certain extent, Ye Qiu's technical and tactical concept is further improved from the traditional Ajax's technical and tactical concept, and has been adjusted in a targeted manner. Many new things make him, an old man, stand out. , especially he was able to poach so many players who meet his tactical requirements from all directions, which is even more admirable.

The average age is less than 22 years old. If there is not an old van der Sar holding back here, the average age of this team is estimated to drop to 21 years old. Even so, Ajax this season is still One of the youngest winning teams in the history of the Eredivisie, second only to the record set by itself last season, if it wins in the Champions League, it should be the youngest champion in the history of the Champions League.

"In the past few years, both Dutch football and European football have changed a lot. In the past, Dutch teams attached great importance to localization and youth training, but now they are internationalized. Ajax was internationalized back then. The pace cannot keep up with Eindhoven, and eventually leads to being overwhelmed by Eindhoven for a long time."

"Feng Shui turns, now Ajax is also following the internationalization, and immediately suppresses PSV in turn. Football has always been like this. There is no long-lasting dynasty, and there is no team that is always victorious. It will always be just a flash of brilliance, but it will always remain in the memory of the fans!"

Ye Qiu couldn't understand what Michels said, but he didn't say much. He patted Ye Qiu's shoulder mixed with praise and encouragement, and walked away slowly with heavy steps. At his age, it is not easy to participate in Ajax's championship celebration.

Looking at Michels' back, Ye Qiu couldn't help recalling the resume of this legendary Dutch coach.

Everyone will always remember his brilliance in Ajax, and his total defense in the Dutch national team, and even he won the championship in Barcelona, ​​but few people remember his failed seasons and resumes.

Therefore, history is so partial. When he likes a person, his bad side is not allowed to appear.

When many people mention Michels, they often think that he coached Ajax's most glorious triple crown period. In fact, he won the first of Ajax's three consecutive Champions League titles. It was also the first in the history of Ajax, after which he resolutely chose to retreat to Barcelona.

However, because Michels' aura is too strong, many people attribute the two Champions League titles Stefan Kovacs won to Michels when he was coaching. Ajax did not make too many changes and contributions. On the contrary, after the team won consecutive championships, the discipline of the entire team became very lax, which eventually caused Ajax to slip.

In addition to the well-known experience in Ajax and the Dutch national team, in other teams, such as Barcelona, ​​​​only won one La Liga championship in four years, and the results were not satisfactory. In the United States, Cologne and Leverku in Germany Sen, also did not prove his strength as a world famous coach.

That said, Michels' success was limited to the Dutch national team and Ajax.

Of course, the reason Ye Qiu thinks so much is not because he looks down on Michels and thinks he is a vain name. On the contrary, Ye Qiu admires Michels very much. No matter what, the concept of total attack and total defense is a way to change football tactics. Great pioneering work, this achievement of Michels is absolutely beyond doubt.

Ye Qiu was just thinking, maybe what made Michels, besides his total defense, was also his rapid retreat, from Ajax winning the Champions League to Holland winning the European Cup, Michels has won the European Cup. It is the choice to retreat bravely without nostalgia.

As he said, he left the moment of brilliance in the memory of the fans forever.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn't help raising his head, closed his eyes, and listened to the deafening cheers from the tens of thousands of Ajax fans in the stands of the Arenal Stadium. He longed to keep all of this forever. .

He can't stop time and create brilliance forever, so he can only choose to completely cut off the connection between himself and Ajax at this moment, so that all fans can remember his Ajax dynasty, It all came to an abrupt end at this moment!

…………

If viewed from the air, the urban area of ​​Amsterdam is criss-crossed by countless rivers, cut into small areas, and each piece is connected by bridges. These criss-crossing rivers seem to be woven into a A spider web of downtown Amsterdam.

Because of this, the urban area of ​​Amsterdam is full of dense buildings, there are no big squares and gardens at all, and even the roads are very crowded, so every time, when Ajax wins the championship, The team will take the open bus and parade around the city with the championship trophy, and they all walk very slowly.

During the parade around the city, passing by Leidseplein, they will have a series of interactions with fans here.

Leidseplein is one of the few venues in the center of Amsterdam that allows for large-scale celebrations. It is also the traditional venue for Ajax to celebrate their championship in the past, so even if Ajax has moved the venue to the Arena Around the stadium, there may still be many people gathered here.

After waiting for the team's bus, he slowly followed the team to the Arena.

Connected to Arenal Park and Arenal Avenue, the entire area is under martial law by the city government, and no vehicles are allowed to enter, so it is convenient for Ajax fans to celebrate the team's championship crazily here.

And Ajax has already arranged a variety of celebration activities, such as inviting some local orchestras to sing, inviting some well-known artists to add to the fun, all of which have greatly enlivened the atmosphere of the celebration ceremony.

However, as the protagonists of the celebration ceremony, the team did not stay at the Arena for too long. After the parade around the city, they quickly assembled in De Tokmoster. After they were disbanded, they went back to rest. Dutch Cup final against Utrecht.

Ajax officials have already announced the next itinerary and plan. After winning the league championship, a simple celebration ceremony will be held. After the Dutch Cup final, if they win the championship, there will be no celebration ceremony, because the team has to prepare low-key. The Champions League final at Old Trafford in Manchester.

However, the club officially promised that if the team can achieve something at Old Trafford, a large-scale celebration ceremony will be held at the Arena, so that the whole of Amsterdam will celebrate together, and the city government will also Said that he will strongly support Ajax's celebrations and hopes that the team can continue to make persistent efforts in Manchester.

The fans generally understood the club's approach. After all, the Champions League is more important than anything else. Therefore, even if the celebration ceremony did not see the players early, they did not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

Many fan organizations have also received the support of Ajax, and they have organized their fan members on the spot to try to suppress the Real Madrid fans at Old Trafford, and this time, Ajax will be free Provide tickets.

This is also the tradition of the UEFA Champions League final. UEFA keeps a part of it, and the rest is divided equally between the two participating teams. Generally speaking, such tickets are not for sale and are given to sponsors. For some club celebrities, etc., the rest are given to those members who support the team on weekdays.

To be honest, reaching the final of the UEFA Champions League is an unattainable opportunity for any team. If they can reach the final, who cares about the income of more than 2 tickets?
Four days later, Ajax traveled to Rotterdam to welcome Utrecht at the De Kuip Stadium.

In order to prepare for the UEFA Champions League final three days later, Ye Qiu did not arrange a main lineup for this game. The only three main players were Van der Sar, Lucio and Arteta, but even so, Ajax Still showed his strong fighting power.

In the 13th minute of the game, Huntelaar relied on Hleb's through ball after dribbling the ball inward from the left, and grabbed a spot in the penalty area to break through Utrecht's goal, opening the scoring for Ajax.

Before the end of the first half, in the 41st minute, Van der Meyde made a cross after a quick breakthrough from the right, Huntelaar headed the ball, and Arteta inserted into the penalty area and easily pushed, 2:0.

After that, Utrecht played a round of counterattack at the beginning of the second half, and successfully regained the score, but in less than 5 minutes, Lucio's header was ferried, and Van der Meyde then inserted and stopped the ball and drove straight in. A low shot in the penalty area expanded the score again, 3:1!

After that, although Utrecht showed his tenacious side, Huntelaar still made another victory for Ajax in the 78th minute, and finally successfully locked the score at 4:1!

In this way, Ajax successfully defeated Utrecht at the De Kuyp Stadium in Rotterdam, and won the Dutch Cup for the fourth consecutive year. Title, because everyone found that he always appeared to have the advantage in cup competitions, and his team seemed to be better at cup competitions.

After winning the Dutch Cup and achieving the dominance of the double crown, Ajax returned to Amsterdam and was welcomed by the fans, but the team did not conduct a high-profile trophy parade, but a low-key display in De Tokmoorster Conducted a two-day secret training camp, and then arrived in Manchester, England by plane at noon the day before the Champions League final.

It is different from Ajax, which has won the Eredivisie League and the Dutch Cup successively, and achieved the double crown. Because the La Liga schedule will continue until the end of June, and the European Champions Cup final will be in early June. When the cup final kicked off, Real Madrid was at a critical moment to win La Liga.

In the 36th round of La Liga, Real Sociedad, which leads Real Madrid by 1 point, draws 1:1 at home with Valencia. This was originally an excellent opportunity for a reversal for Del Bosque’s Real Madrid, but Bosque’s team struggled at the Bernabéu. 1:1 draw with Celta, if it weren't for Raul's key goal to equalize the score, Real Madrid might not be able to win the opponent.

This also made Real Madrid fans dissatisfied, because this was originally a god-given opportunity to reverse Real Sociedad, but it just let it go, and the reason given by Bosque was for the Champions League final!
　Come on, come on, brothers, smash the monthly pass! ! !
