The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 24 Leaving Ajax?

In December, it is going to snow and the weather is very cold.

When there is no training, it is difficult to see a person outside De Tokmost. Obviously, everyone prefers to stay in the office to keep warm, rather than go outside to resist the cold, so it seems quiet.

Although Eindhoven will be ushered in two days later, Ye Qiu did not change the training plan of the second team. There was no training on Monday morning. Only four or five players including Abidal and Kivu came to De Tok Most, but they are all training separately, which depends on the players' self-consciousness.

Bobby Harms, wrapped in a thick down jacket and a wool hat, walked into the training building in De Tokmorst.

When he is old, he is always more afraid of the cold than young people, so he wears a lot of clothes and looks chubby.

When he passed the gym, he saw Christian Kivu, the young Romanian central defender wearing a vest, exercising his strength in the gym, trying to improve his physical resistance, his sweaty appearance, anyone You can feel the heat in his body.

"It's a young man after all!" Bobby Harms smiled and continued to walk forward.

There is a group of young players playing games in the entertainment room, which is the favorite of these young people now.

Bobby Harms didn't say anything, just glanced out of the window and walked over, but when he came to the lounge next to the entertainment room, when he saw the big black man watching the game video, He just stopped.

Eric Abidal, he remembers this kid!

Ye Qiu introduced two players, one is Huntelaar, and now he has become the most concerned player in Ajax's second team besides van der Vaart, because of his high scoring rate and his simple movements , but very efficient, typical Dutch killer.

As for the other one, Abidal, both good and bad.

Those who recognize him feel that his physical fitness, dedication to the game, diligence and bravery are all excellent qualities that a defender desperately needs, but he who does not recognize him thinks that these are useless because he lacks the most basic Tactical literacy.

Since joining Ajax, he has received 4 red cards in more than a month. Thinking about it, it is really distressing. People who don’t know must think this guy is a butcher, otherwise how could he get it? So many red cards?
The sound of the game video came from the TV, but the black boy was watching intently, and he didn't even notice that behind him, Bobby Harms had already entered the lounge.

"Nesta?" Harms immediately recognized the man in the video because he was so famous.

Abidal turned his head and looked at Bobby Harms. He recognized this person, but he didn't know who he was, so he didn't say anything. He continued to watch his game video, and he watched it very carefully. Reverse and slow playback, even freeze frame, is to see an action clearly.

This time Bobby Harms knew that this kid was learning from the video.

"You...are too far behind Nestor's style?" Bobby Harms said with a smile.

He really couldn't compare a black kid who got 4 red cards in a single month with Nesta, who is known for his chic defensive style.

Abidal was still a young man, unconvinced, turned around and glared at Bobby Harms viciously.

"Ha, still not convinced?" Bobby Harms didn't take it seriously, on the contrary, he felt that it is a good thing to be angry, "You must think Nesta's actions are very simple when you watch the video now, if it were you It can be done, right?"

Abidal didn't speak, but apparently acquiesced.

"But do you know that there are countless professional players all over the world who can do the same technical moves, but why is there only one Nesta? Why can't there be a second one?"

Abidal couldn't answer Bobby Harms' question and could only remain silent, but his eyes were still full of unconvinced stubbornness.

"Let me tell you, on the football field, every player's actions are difficult to think carefully, because there is no time for you to think, you have to turn it into an instinct, if you think again, then You will miss the opportunity."

"The videos and the live broadcast of the game are deceptive. Even the fans sitting in the stands are deceived by their own eyes. The real football game is so fast that there is no time for you to think and hesitate. It's a bit... ..." Bobby Harms thought a little distressed.

"Oh, by the way, it's a bit like watching an F1 car. Whether you're watching it live or watching it from the sidelines, you won't feel how fast they are, but in fact, you can only feel the speed when you're on the scene. The speed will almost tear your body to shreds."

Bobby Harms made a conclusion at this point, "So, it is useless for you to learn from Nesta or anyone else. The key is your instinct, which is the key to your performance on the football field!"

Regarding this point, Bobby Harms is very interested in Ye Qiu's training method, because Ye Qiu's training method is actually to put some coordination and movements close to actual combat through a series of training, and gradually transform them into It has become an instinct in the players, which can better enable the players to perform on the court.

"According to what you said, what's the use of watching the video?" Abidal finally spoke, still unconvinced.

Bobby Harms chuckled, "What you watch in the video is not technical moves, but movement and tactical awareness. I think you should go and see Cannavaro, or Zambrotta and Maldini, I think you learn a lot more from them."

Abidal had some doubts about what the old man said.

"What? Don't believe me?" Bobby Harms thought this kid was interesting, "Let me discuss it with you!" After saying that, Harms lazily sat down on the sofa, adjusted his buttocks and sitting posture , make yourself comfortable.

But it has to be said that the sofas of the second team are harder than those of the first team.

"Do you have a feeling on the court that the more you pay attention to your actions, the more carefully you remind yourself that you can't foul or win cards, but sometimes the more careful you are and the more you remind yourself, the more The easier it is to foul, the easier it is to get a card?"

As soon as Bobby Harms said this, Abidal lost his voice, "How do you know?"

"I've been teaching football for decades!" Bobby Harms laughed loudly. "Actually, you are indeed a defender, but your tactical skills are too poor and you are full of wildness. If you insist on Your wild restraint, if you use rules to restrict you, in the end it will become what you used to be, winning cards!"

Tactical literacy is something that requires gradual and gradual progress. Abidal has only been in Ajax for more than a month. It is possible for him to master the tactical literacy accumulated by others since he was a child in an instant. ?
"Actually, when you are on the court, you don't need to have too many worries and worries. You play how you think you should play. The more careful you are, the more you want to restrain yourself, the easier it is to make mistakes and mistakes. This is football. The rules of the field."

That being said, Abidal still shook his head, "But I always get a card as soon as I make an action!"

"It's simple. I believe that in the past month, you should be familiar with professional football fouls, such as not raising your feet too high. You should understand these basics, right?"

"En!" Abidal nodded.

"Your problem is in the one-on-one time, and the scale of the movement. I think you should be able to look at it the other way around, and give all the movements a premise. Are you running for the ball or for people? go!"

Having said that, Bobby Harms smiled, "Running towards people is basically a card-winning action, but running towards the ball is generally not a serious foul. The referee generally There will be no severe punishment."

After Abidal heard this, he suddenly understood a little bit, and after thinking about it carefully, some of his actions for winning cards were actually obtained in order to compete with the opponent. At that time, whether he was facing the ball or facing people, He himself is very vague, so once a foul is committed, the referee will directly give the card.

It should be said that the referee can basically see clearly whether an action is aimed at a person or at the ball.

"How, do you understand?" Bobby Harms asked with a smile.

"En!" Abidal nodded again, his dark face showing a full mouth of white teeth.

At this moment, Ye Qiu, who walked into the lounge at some point, also said, "Then why don't you thank Mr. Bobby Harms?"

Abidal stood up, "Thank you, Mr. Harms!"

Bobby Harms also stood up and patted Abidal on the shoulder. The muscles are very strong, which is really a good material. It's a pity that many people are either blind or covered by something, so they didn't even look at it. To produce this piece of material, we must deliberately play against it.

"If you perform well, boy, you will definitely become a very good professional player in the future!"

Abidal thanked him, greeted Ye Qiu, and left.

"Why are you free to come to my place today?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

When Bobby Harms came, he gave him a big gift.

He has always wanted to help Abidal, but he didn't know where to start.

Today, after hearing what Bobby Hames said, he suddenly understood the key point. After all, Bobby Hames is too familiar with the so-called professional football and professional games. , even knew all the details well, and had incomparably rich experience, so he immediately saw Abidal's problem and gave him some advice.

After today, Ye Qiu believes that Abidal will also embark on a path of rapid progress again.

The two walked out of the lounge and onto the well-paved concrete road in De Tokmost.

He didn't speak along the way, just walked quietly.

"Harris Huizinger put pressure on Heerenveen, and finally the other party agreed to negotiate. After the negotiation, the price was set at 400 million US dollars." Bobby Harms frowned, looking helpless.

Everyone knows that the most serious problem for Ajax at present is not the front line, but the defense line, which is the real key area, but Westhof is determined to introduce Huizinger, what is he thinking? What?
"With $100 million, who else can we bring in?" Ye Qiu asked with a wry smile.

Even if he is a time traveler, after thinking hard in his mind, he can't think of a player whose value is less than 100 million US dollars, and who can fight as soon as he comes. How can there be such a cheap thing?

Besides, Westerhof was not on the right track with him, and the Dutch might not accept his suggestion.

"Westhoff now hopes that the club can spend more transfer fees, so the first team and the management are now having a lot of trouble!" When he said this, Bobby Harms sighed deeply. Take a breath.

Before the season, everyone had very high expectations for the iron triangle of Waters, Westhoff and Leo Benhak, but now, Waters has left in despair. Jax's performance, it is estimated that it will be difficult to coach alone in this lifetime, and his coaching career is completely useless.

Leo Benhax is an old fox who is wise to protect himself, has nothing to do with himself, hangs high, and only the Westerhoff family dominates.

If Westhof is that kind of capable and hopeful person, then there is nothing wrong with being the dominant family, but the problem is that this person is obviously hot-headed now, and even a little out of control, losing his mind.

After all, power makes people lost!

"If you lose to Eindhoven in this game..." Bobby Harms hesitated when he said this, but finally continued, "...Listen to me, leave Ah Jax!"

Ye Qiu was taken aback, and looked at Bobby Harms, he was a little puzzled, why?
"Today's Ajax is no longer the Ajax of 95/96, and today's Michael Van Prager is no longer as wise and decisive as he was then. He has been frustrated again and again, He is extremely fragile, extremely sensitive, and even...he lacks self-confidence!"

At that time, Van Prager decisively used Van Gaal and gave Van Gaal enough time and space to allow him to rebuild a strong Ajax and create a revival of Ajax in the 90s. But after that, the impact of the Bosman Act, the disintegration of the golden generation of players, and the successive failures of the team in the past two or three years.

All these piles, one by one, made Van Prager suffer a terrible blow.

Bobby Harms sighed deeply, turned around, and looked at Ye Qiu, "You know what? Van Dude and I both feel that we can see the shadows of two people from your body."

"Really?" Ye Qiu smiled wryly. He remembered Van Prager saying that he looked like one person. How did Harms say he was two?

"Your stubbornness and self-esteem are very similar to Cruyff back then, but you are not as arrogant and tactless as him; and your desire to win and toughness are very similar to Van Gaal, but you are better than Van Gaal The reason is that you are more able to accept other people's criticisms and opinions, but he can't!"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu thought about it carefully, and asked with a wry smile, "Bobby, are you praising me? Or flattering me?"

Bobby Harms laughed, "Yes, character is always a double-edged sword. Cruyff's arrogance made him a world-renowned superstar, while Van Gaal's arbitrariness made him Being able to stick to his own path and lead Ajax to a new round of brilliance, do you think his character is good or bad?"

"I don't know!" Ye Qiu shook his head, "Or, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, but I don't think I resemble anyone, even if the other party is Cruyff or Van Gaal, I don't think it's so great to be like them. "

"I am me, I am Ye Qiu, I will not do things to force myself to be like someone, nor will I deliberately not do some things in order not to be like someone, in my opinion, I am me , you should do something that I, Ye Qiu, would do!"

Bobby Harms was taken aback for a moment, and then he sighed deeply, "That's what they said back then!"

They must be referring to Cruyff and Van Gaal.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. Just like what you said to Abidal just now, he is him, so he cannot be Nesta. Everyone has their own way, and they always have to learn and imitate themselves. Others will be useless in the end, only by using your own way can you get out of your own way!"

"You're right!" Bobby Harms nodded heavily.

Sometimes, Bobby? Harms knows very well that the reason why he is a super Bobby and cannot make a difference as the head coach of Ajax is not because he is incapable, but because he Lack of personality, lack of character of his own, because he's too much of a follower.

Of course, this is his character, and he also has a lifestyle he likes very much, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

"I still have some contacts in the Netherlands. You should think about it carefully. If..." Bobby Harms looked at Ye Qiu, somewhat reluctantly, "...I mean, if, you decide to leave, I will It can help you find a team, and next season you will be on your own, at least it is a team in the Dutch professional league."

Ye Qiu did not doubt Bobby Hames' ability, because a person who has been in Ajax for decades, his status in Dutch football must be very important, and he wanted to find a team for Ye Qiu Coaching alone is not difficult.

"Thank you, I will think about it!" Ye Qiu sincerely thanked him, but said he would think about it rather perfunctorily.

He has never been a person who likes to default on favors, and he doesn't like to use relationships. He believes that as long as he has enough ability, it will be a matter of time to coach alone. How can it be?Didn't he become the second Waters in the end?
Moreover, Ye Qiu could hear something from Harms, that is, everyone is not optimistic about the next match against Eindhoven, so Harms is also worried, Westerhuo The husband will attack Ye Qiu after this match.

This Dutch old man is a good man, a very good old man.

However, Ye Qiu didn't want to leave Ajax in such a disheveled way!
