The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 25 Victory or Death!
"Is this the home ground of Ajax's second team?"

When Ruud van Nistelrooy stepped off the luxurious bus with the colors of PSV and the team logo printed on the body, he raised his head and looked at the sky. A chilly feeling.

They've played at the Arena, but they've never played on the pitch of Ajax's second team.

"Look, that's their stand, just a few rows of seats, my God!"

"You count, how many fans are there? Is it over a thousand?"

"Poor Ajax, poor second team, there is no need to play this game at all!"

"Yonas, you have to save some energy later, don't knock them down all at once, it's no fun!"

"We shouldn't be playing this kind of game, Dennis!" Jonas Korka looked depressed and swept towards his teammate Romedal. In his opinion, playing against the second team of Ajax is simply right. An insult to them.

From their point of view, this kind of game should give some opportunities to the second team's young players and the first team's substitutes. Why should all the main players be on the bench?

"Okay, okay, don't complain so much, get ready to enter the field!" Van Bommel got off the bus and reminded his teammates. With his excellent strength and strong personality, he has become a big boss in the locker room.

A group of Eindhoven players got off the bus and were immediately led by the staff to the dressing room behind the crude stands.

"Oh my god, is this their locker room?"

"Not even a place to take a shower?"

"The benches are still made of wood, so hard, how can I sit on them?"

Head coach Gretz also feels that the hardware here is indeed a bit crude, but Ajax's youth training is notorious.

"Just let it go, and leave after the game!"

They set off from Eindhoven at around noon today. After a two-hour drive, they arrived in Amsterdam just before the start of the game. Gretz's original plan was not to stay, but to go back after the game .

"Then hurry up, leave immediately after the game, there is no place to take a shower, and I feel uncomfortable all over!"

"As soon as I heard that I can't take a shower, I will try to avoid getting dirty all over my body after a while. Look at their stadium, it's full of dry grass branches, it's uncomfortable to stick to your body!"

"Yeah, yeah, don't use the slide shovel!"

Hearing the players talk about each other, Gretz also smiled helplessly, but the conditions of the Ajax second team are indeed a bit worse, and their reputation in the youth training is a bit inconsistent, let alone players , he himself was somewhat displeased with this so-called locker room which was extremely simple.

…………

…………

Compared with the noisy and complaining in the visiting team's locker room, the home team's locker room, which is far away from each other, seems very quiet.

Ye Qiu didn't arrange any pre-match tactics, because Ajax's second team didn't need any other tactics at all. They had only one choice, and that was to defend and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

As for Ye Qiu's yelling to attack proactively and what to do, those are all smoke bombs.

The players didn't speak either, they all sat there, looking a little nervous.

No wonder, just outside, they watched the group of big-name players from PSV Eindhoven get off the bus one by one. Those resounding names are enough to make each of them feel unavoidable pressure. ,heavy pressure.

In such a game with such disparity in strength, it can even be said that it is extremely different, no one can guess how effective tactics can be, and no one is sure.

"Are you afraid?" Ye Qiu asked his players with a sudden smile.

A few of them raised their heads and looked at Ye Qiu, but none of them answered, but from their twinkling eyes, Ye Qiu could tell that they were scared, really scared!
The opponent is too strong and they are too weak, so they are afraid that they will lose badly and lose without dignity.

Even, if possible, some of them may take the initiative to ask not to participate in this competition and choose to escape.

"I'm scared!" Ye Qiu said something that surprised everyone, then raised his right hand, trembling, "Look, he's shaking, and I'm scared too, really scared, it's nothing good It's humiliating, it's normal to be afraid."

The players bowed their heads one by one, which proved that they were also afraid.

"Four days ago, I was in the stands of the Arenal Stadium, watching the first team game against PSV, we lost very badly, I was sitting in the stands, and suddenly I asked Myself, if four days later, my team loses like this, or even loses worse than them, what should I do?"

"I thought about running away!" Ye Qiu's words surprised many people present, and they all raised their heads to look at him, "Really, I really thought about running away, but in the end I felt that it wouldn't work. Because I escaped this game and the next one, I quit football, I have to find other jobs, I have to live!"

After a smile, Ye Qiu sighed deeply with a wry smile, and shook his head, "Finally, I discovered that people can't help themselves in this world. No matter what we do, no matter where we go, we will meet Eindhoven." Such a powerful enemy, do we have to escape every time? Can we escape?"

The locker room was quiet, no one spoke, and the players all hung their heads, silent.

"More than three months ago, I made a bet with Westerhof. They said I must lose, but two months later, I won!"

"More than a month ago, we met the Going Eagles in the Dutch Cup. They also said that we must lose, but in the end, we won again!"

"Now that we have met PSV Eindhoven, the whole world thinks that we must lose. Does that mean that we are willing to lose like this? We are willing to do nothing like this without any resistance, without any counterattack, just like this. Did you lose?"

Taking another deep breath, Ye Qiu smiled, "I have no choice, this match is a battle of life and death for me, if I win, I will still be your head coach, if I lose, I just Can leave Ajax!"

All the players of the second team raised their heads immediately after hearing this, and looked at Ye Qiu in amazement. They had never heard of this news before, so why did they leave after losing?Since this game is so important, why didn't he say it before?

"This is the rule of the game. The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. If I lose, it means that I am a weak person who is at the mercy of others. If you lose, it also means that you will become weak people who are looked down upon by others. This is fair, very fair!"

"It's not fair that they are PSV, the leaders of the Eredivisie, and we are the second team of Ajax, as if we were born to be insignificant, to be trampled under their feet and slaughtered by them. Poor guy, but does that mean we can't resist?"

"No!" Ye Qiu shouted loudly.

"You have the ability to resist, and the weapons for your resistance are on you. It depends on whether you dare to resist? It depends on whether you have the courage to take the first step of resistance? It depends on whether you have enough determination to go to the On the football field, go prove it to everyone and tell them bravely that you are wrong!"

"Do you dare?" Ye Qiu asked.

Still no one answered in the locker room, everyone just raised their heads and looked at their head coach.

"Who said they should be born winners? Who told you that they will definitely be able to dominate our life and death? Who told you that we should be trampled under their feet by nature? I am here today, and I will tell everyone, I don't accept it, I fucking just refuse to accept it!"

"I want to prove it to everyone, we have to resist!"

"Whoever despises us, we will let him taste our power!"

"Who dares to look down on us, we will teach them a painful lesson!"

"Whoever wants to trample us under our feet and shit on top of our heads, then we will overthrow him, even if they are the kings high above, we will pull them off the throne and trample them on the soles of their feet Let them tremble at our feet, and let the whole world know our name!"

"Victory or death!"

"Victory, or death!" Abidal was the first one to stand up and respond to Ye Qiu.

"Victory or death!" Immediately after, Keiv also stood up.

"Victory or death!" Van der Vaart also clenched his fists and shouted.

Sneijder, De Jong, Maduro, Huntelaar...

Players from the second team stood up one after another, shouting in unison, "Victory or death!"

"If you don't win, you'd rather die!!"

…………

Gretz attaches great importance to this game, and he has the strongest lineup in Eindhoven.

The goalkeeper is Watrus, the defense is Heintze, Nikiforov, Faber and Van der Weyden, and the midfielders are Kolka, Van Bommel, Vogel and Romedal from left to right. , the double forwards are Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nellis.

This set can be said to be the strongest lineup that PSV Eindhoven can currently form, but Bruudinke, who has cooperated very well with Ruud van Nistelrooy recently, was put on the bench by him.

Also sitting on the bench are famous Dutch players such as Bouma, Oye, Stinga, and Van der Doren.

The current Eindhoven team is full of talents, but correspondingly, the team's desire for championships is also very high. The goal of this season is the double crown, so in the next game they not only want Win, but also win the momentum of Eindhoven.

In this regard, Gretz has extraordinary confidence, because his team has not lost in the Netherlands this season!
On the opposite side of the stadium, Ajax, as always, has a traditional 433 tactical formation.

The goalkeeper is Stekelenburg, the defense is Abidal, Kivu, Heitinga and van der Rohe, the three midfielders are De Jong, Sneijder and Maduro, Van der Vaart, Huntelaar Form the front trident with Kurul.

Compared with Eindhoven's star lineup that is strong enough to run across the Netherlands, Ye Qiu's lineup is unbelievably shabby. I believe that even the fans who came to the scene may not be able to take all the players into consideration. I've got it all.

Looking at the players from both sides lined up on the field, I believe that all the Ajax fans present have such a question in their hearts, how long can they resist?

With the referee's whistle, Eindhoven took the lead to kick off.

The ball passed back from Ruud van Nistelrooy to Vogel and then to Faber. The forward dribbled the ball forward and soon entered the 30-meter area of ​​Ajax.

De Jong posted it immediately, he is the first firewall in front of Abidal.

But just when De Jong thought he could keep up with Romedal, he didn't expect that the player suddenly speeded up, pushed the ball forward, and then quickly caught up, using his speed abruptly to swipe the ball. Passed De Jong's defensive circle.

At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the audience were raised.

Abidal's attention was always in front of him. When he saw Romedal crossing De Jong's defensive line, he immediately screamed in his heart. At this time, he saw Romedal's kick The trip was a bit big, and the first reaction was to rush up.

But he thought again, would it be a foul?

In the past few games, successive cards, consecutive yellow cards and red cards have cast a shadow on him.

But he immediately remembered what Bobby Harms said, go to the ball!

I saw that Abidal was also very fast, with excellent explosive power, like a cheetah aiming at its prey, rushing out of his camp area with lightning speed, and aiming at the ball with a fierce shoveling action and go.

The next scene happened in an instant. Abidal's tackle shoveled the ball out of bounds, but Romedal also had physical contact with him, and the whole person fell on the court. The referee was quick. approach.

When Ye Qiu saw this scene, his heart sank, and he felt a chill in his heart. If he got the card at the beginning, it would be over.

Not only Ye Qiu, almost all the players of the second team were worried, even Abidal himself was also worried.

But at this moment, the referee blew his whistle and pointed to the outside of the field, indicating that it was a penalty from PSV.

"Hey, sir, he knocked me down!" Romedal got up from the ground and protested loudly.

"Don't try to deceive me, I can see very clearly that he tackled the ball, and you deliberately didn't stop your action and bumped into him, I'm polite not to give you a warning to dive, do you still want to argue with me? "The referee was very fair and did not favor the opponent because he was a big-name star from Eindhoven.

After hearing this, Abidal couldn't help but feel relieved, and then he looked towards the sidelines, and found that Ye Qiu gave him a thumbs up, obviously very satisfied with his tackle just now, he immediately grinned, showing A mouth full of white teeth.

"Hey, French boy, well done!" Kivu also boasted behind him.

Before Abidal could speak, Kivu reminded, "Hurry up, go up and watch that bastard, they are about to kick in!"

As soon as Abidal heard this, he immediately rushed forward and defended Romedal closely.

Romedal changed positions on the sidelines, waiting for a throw-in from Van der Weyden. He had made a good plan. Once he got the ball, he bypassed Abidal and made a cross. Make a threat.

But when he was waiting for his teammates to kick off, he felt a mass of wet things sticking to his back, and he felt uncomfortable all over. When he looked back, he saw Abidal sticking to him. The only thing is his sweat.

"Hey, can you stay away from me? Don't walk so close?" Romedal felt uncomfortable.

Abidal retorted in a stinky and hard way, "If I don't get close to you, I'll be a fart!"

When Romedal heard this, he immediately became angry, thinking to himself, you brat from the second team, you have such an aggressive tone, so he wanted to compete with Abidal, thinking that he was older and physically weak. He must be better than these second-team players in terms of strength confrontation, so he wanted to use his body to suppress Abidal and teach this brat a lesson.

But when he started to use his strength, he found that his body seemed to be squeezed against a wall. Abidal was unmoved at all, and when Van der Weyden's throw-in was sent, Abidal exerted strength, Romedal It was knocked open by the whole person.

Abidal once again cleared Van der Weyden's throw-in with a header. When he landed, he turned his head and saw the angry Romedal. He grinned again and sneered disdainfully. It has to be like a block of tofu!"

This immediately made Romedal upset. When Van der Weyden was about to take a throw-in again, Romedal rushed forward, trying to squeeze Abidal with his body, and even bumped into him.

beep~
The referee blew the foul whistle, walked over, called Romedal over, gave him a warning for his actions just now, and said that this is also the last warning, if there is another time, He will just draw the cards.

Romedal walked back angrily, looked at Abidal, and was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to touch him for the time being, after all, he was blacklisted by the referee, and if he was not careful, he would get a card .

After the penalty kick was taken, Ajax quickly got it again, but this time the ball was passed to the midfielder, and after it was handed over to Van der Vaart, Van Bommel chased back, timely and decisively. The ball was poked off.

This is the difference!
Perhaps Van der Vaart's personal ability is considered very, very good in the eyes of his peers, but in the eyes of Van Bommel, there are loopholes everywhere, and the rhythm and pace of dribbling are also slow. It is not difficult to break his ball.

After Eindhoven steals the ball, it is passed to Romedal again, after all, it is on the same side.

But when Romedal was about to break through with the ball, De Jong was close to him, and Abidal made a sneak attack. The two formed a double-team and directly broke the ball at Romedal's feet. Half time, but the ball fell to PSV again.

However, Ajax does not seem to be prepared to start a head-to-head contest with PSV. All players have always maintained a compact formation and firmly protected their goals.
