The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 208 Princes and Generals, Would You Rather Have Kindness?
It's my life
this is my life
It's snow ornever
Seize the moment, the opportunity is fleeting

Iain't gonna live forever
i don't want to live forever
I just want to live while I'malive.

I just want to live seriously while I'm still alive.

……

Bon Jovi's hoarse shouts came from the hotel room, spreading to every corner of the room. The explosive rock music kept vibrating the eardrums, making people feel as if they were in an ocean of rock and roll. They are all burning with all their heart's content.

This is a song that Ye Qiu likes very much, Bon Jovi's 【it'smylife】, and every time he sings the climax, he can't help but sing along, this is his favorite part, sing It seems to be singing its own voice.

Seize the present, or bid farewell to the opportunity forever, this can also be seen as a portrayal of Ye Qiu at this moment.

The Champions League final is a stage that is hard to find in a lifetime for any professional head coach. Now he is fortunate to lead this young Ajax team all the way to the Champions League final. It is a golden opportunity for him, or Become famous and become famous, or continue to be inferior to others and continue to be ridiculed by others.

From the moment Ajax entered the hotel, the phones in the room where the head coach and players are located were set to refuse to answer. If there is anything wrong, the hotel can directly contact the Ajax team leader or other people, and they will respond according to the situation. If necessary, get in touch with Ye Qiu and the players.

Besides, there was no way for any outsiders to contact Ye Qiu and the players tonight.

Of course, Ye Qiu and the players have their own mobile phones, but usually Ye Qiu and the players have two mobile phone numbers, one is a private number, and the other is for daily use. This private number is usually only owned by the closest family members. It is just for the convenience of emergency contact during the game, and the other number is usually turned off.

Ye Qiu's private number is only known to four people, parents, Huang Chu and Eliza.

Both phones lay quietly on the bedside table in the master bedroom, without any movement, because anyone who has Ye Qiu's private number knows that what Ye Qiu needs most now is quiet thinking, he needs to devote himself wholeheartedly to the preparation for the game , but also to think about tomorrow's tactics, considering the training status and mental preparation of the players this afternoon.

At the same time, he still needs to make an important decision.

…………

…………

Ye Qiu was not free, so Huang Chu and Elisa acted as the hosts, taking Huang Jinsong, Ye Changming and Chen Zhong around the hotel. Firstly, it was because there was really nothing interesting to see in Manchester, and secondly, they didn’t want to Leaving the hotel, after all, I am unfamiliar with the place of life. If I meet Real Madrid fans and get recognized, it will be dangerous.

Today, the streets of the entire city are filled with two groups of people, Real Madrid fans and Ajax fans.

Because of this, the police are on guard as if they are facing an enemy.

"Hi, Bobby!"

In the hotel's cafe, Huang Chu saw Bobby Harms drinking coffee with Van Basten and Rick Link.

"Hi, Ah Chu, Eliza!" Bobby Harms knew Huang Chu and Eliza very well.

Tonight, those who can stay in this hotel are basically people related to Ajax, either the family members of the players and staff, or the staff of the club.

"Why are they all here?" Chen Zhong recognized it. Aren't these three members of the coaching staff?

Eliza smiled leisurely, "Usually at this time, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and they are fine, but if you pay attention, they are actually very nervous, but no matter how nervous they are, they have to find something for themselves." Things to do, right?"

"What about Ye Qiu?" Zhang Yuxiu still cared most about her son.

Eliza curled her lips, "Put it in confinement!"

"Confinement?" Chu Yun frowned, and there is a good saying, the more the mother-in-law sees the son-in-law, the more she likes it, and she is also very concerned about Ye Qiu now, after all, Ye Qiu will become her son-in-law in a while .

Huang Chu smiled, "Mom, that was a joke. Ye Qiu should be in the room now, shutting himself up and thinking about something. Because he is a bit isolated from the world, everyone joked about confinement."

Huang Jinsong couldn't stop nodding when he heard that, "Before the competition, as a coach, you must think a lot."

"The most important thing is the pressure!" Eliza understands this quite well. "Usually, for such an important game, every team will make various preparations. It is up to the head coach to decide which countermeasures to take, and any decision made by the head coach may affect the trend of tomorrow night’s game.”

Speaking of which, Eliza pointed to Bobby Harms and others nearby, "They look relaxed, but they are not. They are also nervous, but almost most of the pressure is on Ye Qiu. They Just wait for the order."

Chen Zhong is a fan, so he knows a little bit about these things, "Yes, a decision worth hundreds of millions of euros and carrying the wishes of tens of millions of fans around the world is naturally very stressful." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but sigh tone.

Sometimes he thinks about it, football games are really cruel, and it is really embarrassing to make such an important decision in such a short period of time. No wonder those head coaches either have heart problems or Hair grays quickly.

While they were chatting, they heard Bobby Harms' phone rang nearby.

"Ye Qiu?"

As soon as they heard him calling Ye Qiu's name, everyone in the room immediately fell silent and listened to what he had to say.

"Okay, training an hour and a half earlier?" Bobby Harms asked in confirmation.

After Bobby Harms hung up the phone, he told Rick Link and Van Basten, "Tomorrow evening, enter the training ground an hour and a half earlier. It seems that this time it will be the same!" After finishing speaking, he actually laughed.

After hearing this, Van Basten and Rick Link nodded solemnly, stood up one by one, greeted Huang Chu and Eliza, and went to their respective ways.

From their body, words and deeds, Huang Chu and others can feel the responsibility and pressure on them.

When Ajax entered the Old Trafford Stadium for training warm-up, the time was exactly 18 o'clock, and there was still 1 hour and 45 minutes before the kick-off of the game. At this time, the stands of the Old Trafford Stadium were already Many fans gathered, and more fans entered the stadium one after another.

Although Ye Qiu brought all the first-team players to Manchester for this game, in fact, there were only 18 players who could make it to the squad, and two of the goalkeepers, Van der Sar and Stekelenburg, The former is Ajax's main goalkeeper, while the latter actually doesn't have many opportunities to play, and is more of a substitute.

There was no way around this. After all, Van der Sar's state was very stable. After returning to the Netherlands, Ye Qiu gave him more freedom, which allowed him to completely walk out of the shadow of the Juventus period and performed very well.

The Ajax players are already used to Ye Qiu's arrangements. Normally, Ye Qiu would ask the team to come to the training ground early, usually an hour, but this time he asked for an hour and a half earlier, and the team even One hour and 1 minutes earlier, it can be seen that the coaching staff also attaches great importance to the warm-up training before the game.

Ajax trains on their own side, which are some warm-up and body-moving training items that Ye Qiu bought from the godfather training system in the past few years, such as hitting the wall game, such as sliding monkeys, such as some Training games with the ball can better help players move their bodies.

I heard that Ye Qiu asked the team to conduct warm-up training an hour and a half earlier. Everyone knew his decision for this game, which was to attack, and attack from the very beginning. A set of strategies, that is to rush to attack, play fast-paced, disrupt Real Madrid's rhythm from the beginning, which requires entering the game state faster than the opponent.

Real Madrid is a possession flow, and they are not good at a fast pace. The core of the team is the classic midfielder like Zidane. In addition, Real Madrid's overall style is biased towards possession, so Ajax is either defending or rushing. Offensive, there is only a way out if you go to extremes, and Ye Qiu is obviously not prepared to defend to the death, so he can only attack aggressively.

Relatively speaking, Real Madrid has more experience in the Champions League finals. Many players in the team have played in the 2000 and 2002 Champions League finals. They have more experience than Ajax and this group of young people, so they came an hour earlier. to the training ground.

When Real Madrid arrived at the training ground, many Ajax players had already completed their warm-up and were undergoing some simple training to adapt to the field and find a tacit understanding of the team.

Compared to Ajax, who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, Real Madrid looked relaxed, even a little lazy. This group of superstars seemed not to be stage-frightened at all, and they were already prepared for such a big game. It's easy to handle.

No wonder, for this group of Ajax players, the Champions League final may not be able to come again in a lifetime, but they are different. They came last year, and this year, maybe they can come again next year. Who will let Real Madrid Is it the strongest team in Europe today?

The players of the two teams are training in their own half, but the fans in the stands have already started to compete directly.

Interestingly, in this game, Real Madrid wore the white jersey they won the Champions League last season, while Ajax wore the black away jersey they won the Champions League in the 94/95 season when Van Gaal led the team. The jerseys, which directly led to the fact that the fans of both sides in the stands are also black and white, which is particularly clear and obvious.

The players are still training, but the fans have already started to cheer for the team they support. This makes the Old Trafford Stadium seem to be a sea of ​​people with clear black and white. The shouts and slogans of fans on both sides The sounds are all mixed together, blurred into a ball, they can't be clearly distinguished, and they can't understand.

In such an important game, no one is willing to admit defeat easily, such as the head coach, the players, and the fans.

…………

…………

In the locker room of the visiting team, the Ajax players were nervously making the final preparations before the game.

The masseuse is helping the group of players who have just come off the training ground to relax their muscles, and Peter Brandt is conducting various tests for some players. These will be handed over to Ye Qiu during the game auxiliary data.

And Bobby Harms, the most experienced coach in the Ajax team, is now decompressing the players.

But even so, all the players are still sweeping towards the door of the locker room from time to time, their eyes are full of nervous anticipation, they are waiting for Ye Qiu's arrival, only when they see Ye Qiu, can they Let go of the tension in your heart.

Ye Qiu is not a big star, so he didn't make them wait too long, he pushed open the door of the dressing room and walked in.

Today's Ye Qiu also dressed up specially, with black trousers and white shirt, and a pair of well-polished leather shoes, the cuffs rolled up to the elbows, revealing the Hamilton watch on his hand, holding a notebook in his hand, After walking in, he put the notebook on the tactical table, turned his back to the tactical board, and looked at the group of players who all raised their heads to look at him.

"Before announcing the starting roster, I want to say a few words!" Ye Qiu's starting roster has been handed over, but the players don't know it yet, and he is going to announce the starting roster now, but there are some things he thinks he should say .

"I want to tell all of you that the team can get to where it is today, thanks to the joint efforts of everyone, and it is the reward of the unity of everyone in our team, whether you have started or not, even those few players. Those who failed to appear on the roster and failed to enter this locker room are all part of us!"

"I also want to tell the starting 11 players, please keep in mind that you are not just playing for yourself, you are also sitting on the bench and in the stands for those of you, Playing football for someone who has no chance to play, you have absolutely never let your guard down, there is absolutely no reason not to give your best, otherwise, you don't deserve to be Ajax players, to be part of us!"

Ye Qiu's words made everyone present nod involuntarily. In the past three years, the team has relied on such a united and upward morale to get to where it is today. It is impossible for them to give up at this time.

After he finished speaking, Ye Qiu didn't need to look at the notebook at all, everything was clearly and deeply recorded in his mind.

"Goalkeeper, Van der Sar!"

Following Ye Qiu's words, Van der Sar stood up silently, clenched his fists and nodded to his teammates, as if to assure him.

Guarantee that I will do my best, that even if I am lying on the court, I must do my best to keep the goal.

"Left back, Abidal!"

The Frenchman also stood up, and like Van der Sar, he clenched his fists and assured his teammates.

"Left centre-back, Keivu!"

"Right centre-back, Lucio!"

"Right back, Maicon!"

"Delay left midfielder, Yaya Toure!"

"Deep right midfield, Mascherano!"

"Midfielder, Sneijder!"

"Left winger, Robben!"

"Right winger, van der Vaart!"

"Center, Ibrahimovic!"

Every time Ye Qiu shouted, the players whose names he called stood up one by one, promising their teammates.

This may be a bit old-fashioned, but it can make everyone present feel that I am not alone, I am not fighting alone, I work hard to compete, not only for myself, but also for this group of people who have worked hard together for many years Teammates who have lived, fought hard, and fought hard.

It is false to say that they are fans, but their teammates are real. They train and play together almost every day.

Ye Qiu's tactical arrangement for this game has been properly adjusted. Arteta came off the bench and Yaya Toure started. The midfielder obviously wants to adopt a more aggressive and oppressive style of play. After all, Yaya Toure is running. In terms of movement and defense, he is better than Arteta.

The Spaniard's specialty is possession and organization, but in this game Ajax will not control the ball or organize.

To be honest, playing Real Madrid, playing possession and organization, it is purely lighting a lamp in the toilet, looking for death.

"I still remember that a year ago, when we were defeated at the Bernabéu Stadium, there was a Spanish reporter, I still remember his name clearly, Luis Cano of Marca, he pointed at me and asked, you Didn’t they say they were going to capture the Bernabéu? Now? Was it successful?”

The entire locker room was so quiet that only Ye Qiu's voice remained, and the other staff members withdrew, because the last few minutes belonged to Ye Qiu and his players, they were one.

"Even now, I still clearly remember his tone of incomparable arrogance at that time, as if he was stepping on top of my head, pointing at me with incomparable contempt, his tone was full of sarcasm, full of Disdain, I was very angry at the time, but I couldn't refute it, because we lost, so I could only choose to leave, and behind me, there were sneers everywhere!"

"I still don't understand, their sarcasm, their disdain, their cynicism, why? Just because they are Real Madrid? Are they rich? Should they be high above and overlook all living beings? Or, they were born with the royal emblem , is it nobler than others? More respected than others?"

Ye Qiu paused and softened his tone, "We Chinese, more than 2000 years ago, a commoner said a word, princes and generals, would you rather have kindness? It means that no one is born noble, no one is born noble. Who was born to respect, and this person finally led to the downfall of an extremely powerful empire."

"No one should be born high above, and no one can win forever. All of these need to be created by one's own efforts, so I very, very believe in one thing, that is, today, their Real Madrid is a powerful empire high above, and We are just under their noses, an insignificant minion."

"But today, I am just not convinced by them. I just am not convinced that they can stand on top of us. Aren't they noble? Aren't they respected? Then I will put their nobility, Push down all their reverence, step on it under our feet, trample on it unscrupulously!"

"This is not a football game, guys!" Ye Qiu pointed at the group of players and shouted with almost all his strength, "This is a war about our dignity, about our honor and disgrace, I believe, the whole There will be countless fans standing beside us in the world, and I believe even more that there is a great miracle waiting for us to create!"

Ye Qiu glanced at everyone present, his eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot, "We will never forget today, and we will never forget this war, as long as we beat Real Madrid and win this game, we will Make a miracle and all of you will go down in football history for it!"

"Today, your feelings, your passion, your every move, will become tomorrow and even in the future, the memories and images that all fans talk about will remain in this world forever, in the memory of everyone inside!"

"Let's let go of all our burdens and fight with all our might, brave Ajax fighters!"

　The competition is coming, brothers, let's smash the monthly pass with all our strength! ! ! !
