The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 27 Come on, Ajax!
The Ajax chairman's office is arranged on the second floor of the West Stand of the Arenal Stadium by the window.

Van Prager did not go to the second team's home stadium to watch the cup match. Although it was only two or three minutes from here to the second team's home stadium, he still sat in his office, closed the doors and windows, and watched the TV. The sound is turned up very loudly.

He is afraid, even he can see it, he is afraid!
Originally, he was supposed to support Ye Qiu. He was really optimistic about Ye Qiu, especially in the past few months, after Ye Qiu kept showing impressive abilities, he really loved this young man. I appreciate it very much.

But he didn't dare to go because he was afraid!
That night at the Arenal Stadium made him feel an unprecedented fear. At that time, he even had a feeling that if he could not give the fans a satisfactory answer, those tens of thousands of people would overthrow the Arenal Stadium. He rushed into the stadium office frantically and tore him, the chairman, to pieces.

On that snowy day in January 1989, after many years of turmoil in Ajax, after Cruyff announced that he would leave the team, and even the re-invitation of the famous coach Michels could not save Ajax. In the case of Jax, he resolutely responded to the voice of the fans and followed in the footsteps of his father Jaap van Prager.

At that time, he was regarded as a savior by Ajax fans, and he did not disappoint Ajax fans for too long. In 1991, he resolutely chose Van Gaal to replace Leo Ben who left Madrid. Huck, and gave the youth coach who was only 40 years old at the time a lot of power and space.

Van Gaal did not let him down, and then Ajax ushered in the revival of the dynasty, all the way to the top of Europa.

It can be said that Van Prager was ambitious and ambitious at that time. He hoped to bring Ajax to a new height in history like his father. To become the best football club in the world, because Ajax was full of talents at that time.

Unexpectedly, the impact of the Bosman Act completely shattered his career, shattered his dreams, and shattered everything about him!
Players left one by one, the club's finances went from bad to worse, fans' anger and dissatisfaction grew day by day, all of which made him feel overwhelmed, but he still didn't give up, he still persisted.

After sending Olsen away, he had to make a choice. He decided to gamble like he did when Leo Benhak was sent away in 1991!
Thus, Van Gaal in 1991 became Waters in 1999.

He was lucky back then because he won the bet on Van Gaal, but he was unlucky in 1999 because he lost the bet on Waters.

Willing to gamble and admit defeat, this is a must-have quality for a gambler, so Van Prager has never complained about others, but losing the biggest bet in his life made him feel like he was taken out Everything.

Worrying about gains and losses, indecision, anxiety...all the emotions that I never had when I was young, all appeared.

Sometimes, Van Prager couldn't help asking himself, what's the matter?
No one can give him an answer, not even himself!

It's like today, sitting in the office, listening to the deafening TV sound, he doesn't know why he is doing this, but he is just afraid!
He was afraid of hearing the angry roars and curses of the fans from the stadium not far away; he was afraid that Ye Qiu's team would lose terribly under the iron heel of Eindhoven; he was even more afraid Ye Qiu, the only person he could pin a little bit of hope on, finally made him completely desperate.

Sometimes, the reason why people run away is not because of despair, but because there is still hope!

Van Prager is sitting in the office, he is not watching TV, because he does not like watching those boring TV programs, if it is in normal times, let him choose, he would rather watch an extremely boring football game than Watch 1 minute of this kind of TV.

So, he watched the TV absently, but raised his head from time to time, and glanced at the wall clock on the wall.

"Halftime should be over, right?" Van Prager felt a tug in his heart for no reason.

He didn't dare to think about the next thing, because he was afraid that he would guess wrong.

Sometimes people are really stupid, just like Van Prager is like now, he will feel that if he knows later, he can keep this hope in his heart longer, even if it is only a little bit.

At this moment, there was a brief silence on the TV. Van Prager vaguely heard a strong sound coming from outside the closed window. He couldn't hear what it was, but he could probably guess it.

"Is it booing and cursing?" Van Prager suddenly felt more frustrated than ever.

Because, even the last glimmer of hope has not been retained!

It was at this time that he heard people outside the office shouting and running around in the corridor.

He began to worry again, could it be that the fans made trouble again?
As the chairman of the club, he can escape a lot, but at this critical juncture, he still has a role to play.

"What's going on?" Van Prager opened the door of the office and stopped a staff member of the administrative department who was about to run to the stairs.

"Mr. Chairman, are you there?" The employee was panting, looking surprised.

"What are you all doing? What are you running for?" Van Prager was still very imposing in front of people.

The man chuckled, "We're going to cheer for the second team, we're all going!"

Van Prager was taken aback, and went to cheer for the second team, what are you doing?

"A colleague called just now, the first half was 0:0, the second team defended, but it was very hard, so we all have to go cheer for them, let the group of PSV bastards know that we are all Aja Max!" After the man finished speaking, he ran directly to the stairwell.

The salaries of those who work at Ajax are not high. After all, the team is so financially difficult now, how can it be possible to offer high salaries?
These people did not leave the team, mainly because of their feelings for the club.

Looking at the man's back, Van Prager was stunned.

0:0?

He suddenly couldn't believe what he heard, because in his opinion, it was impossible!
So far this season, Eindhoven has never lost on the land of the Netherlands. Even when facing the first team of Ajax, they can completely solve the battle in the first half. Such a team Will be blocked by the second team?

Van Prager decided to find out what happened, he even forgot to close the door of the office, and walked quickly to the stairwell.

He ran all the way to De Tokmoster, where the second team is located. He saw that there was no one in the security room. Obviously, everyone had gone to the home court, so he also walked directly into the iron gate and went straight to the stadium. and go.

From a distance, he heard the voice from the stadium.

"Come on, boys of the second team, kill them!"

"Get rid of PSV, Ajax fighters!"

"Fight for the honor and dignity of Ajax!"

"Tell them we are brave Ajax!"

"No one should ever try to beat us because we are Ajax who never say die!"

Hearing these slogans, Van Prager felt as if his heart had been ignited.

When he came outside the stadium of the second team, he found a grand occasion.

The originally 2000-seat stand was already crowded, but more and more fans entered the stadium, but they stood around the stadium in an orderly manner, shouting slogans, but did not enter the stadium, very orderly.

And the group of fans in the stands, none of them sat down, but stood up.

Near the intersection on the other side of the fan passage, you can see that there are still many fans who have heard the news entering the stadium.

Here is the second team, without the comfortable seats of the Arenal stadium, and without the overwhelming fanatical atmosphere of the Arenal stadium.

But here let this group of Ajax fans feel the spirit of Ajax again!
This is undoubtedly more valuable than a comfortable seat or a modern stadium!

Especially when Van Prager saw the players of the second team walk out of the locker room, all the fans cheered wildly, and he couldn't help shouting, "Come on, Ajax!"

…………

…………

"Ye Qiu!"

When Ye Qiu was walking the players out of the locker room and he was about to go to the coach's bench in front, Huang Chu called him to stop.

After all, it is the second team, without good hardware facilities, and even the entry of players can only be done in a relatively amateur way.

"What's the matter?" Ye Qiu squeezed out a smile.

"It's okay... Uh, no, there's something wrong!" Huang Chu also seemed a little nervous.

She has always been sitting in the stands, and she can feel the changes from the fans, and she also knows that sometimes the changes brought by the fans may not necessarily be good things, and it is very likely that Ye Qiu's body will be affected. The pressure gets bigger and heavier.

"Is there something wrong, or is it all right?" Ye Qiu really laughed out loud.

Huang Chu glared at him reproachfully, "I just want to say, no matter what the result is, you have already won!"

Ye Qiu knew in her heart that she was trying to comfort herself, so she nodded, "I'll talk about this after I win the game!"

Seeing that Ye Qiu was about to leave, Huang Chu stopped him again, "I did some calculations when I was watching the game just now, and I think their physical fitness should...maybe only last for about 60-70 minutes in the second half."

"Why?" Ye Qiu froze for a moment.

"Since the national team game in November, they have been playing double games a week, and today it is a two-hour drive from Eindhoven to Amsterdam by car, and I have also After looking at some of their past game data and physical fitness analysis, I think it is best to only last to 11 minutes. If the pre-match preparations are lax, some players estimate that they will not have much physical fitness by 70 minutes!"

Physical fitness, this is also an aspect that Ye Qiu considered before the game, but it was never as detailed as Huang Chu.

For the time being, Ye Qiu couldn't find out how Huang Chu obtained these data, but he thought it made sense.

"I see, thank you!" Ye Qiu smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.

After only two steps, Ye Qiu suddenly turned around and shouted at Huang Chu's back, "Ah Chu."

"Ah?" Huang Chu looked back suddenly, her heart trembled for no reason, what did Ye Qiu call her just now?
"If I win this game, I will confess my love to you!"

Huang Chu's fair and pink pretty face turned red in a flash, and then he clenched his fists, making a gesture to beat him to death, but he turned and ran away without saying anything.

Seeing her like this, Ye Qiu laughed, "Is this a refusal? Or a tacit consent?"

…………

…………

Frankly speaking, after returning to the stadium, Ye Qiu and the players were startled when they saw so many people on the sidelines. Not only them, but even the Eindhoven players were shocked.

There are so many people standing around the stadium, all shouting slogans, which put a lot of pressure on the players in the stadium.

The Ajax players are better, knowing that the opponents are here to support them, but the Eindhoven players are a bit miserable. As soon as they get the ball, the fans on the sidelines booed wildly, and they almost didn't spit. They drowned.

The police station who heard the news immediately arranged for people to come over to maintain order, and Ajax immediately gave countermeasures, pulling out a cordon on the sidelines, signaling that fans could not cross the cordon or enter the stadium to interfere in the game.

In the 15 minutes of the intermission, the atmosphere of the game has completely changed.

In the second half, Gretz's opening tactics obviously wanted to return to the old routine of the first half.

During the halftime break, he began to reflect on his tactical strategy, and he had to find that he had made a mistake.

That is to allow the game to follow the path and rhythm that Ye Qiu wanted.

What does Ye Qiu's team like?
Of course, Eindhoven's offense is concentrated in the center, because the center has the largest number of people and is the easiest to defend.

Gretz's letting Romedal hit is actually giving up the wing and letting Korca retreat, which is also a weakening of the wing attack.

This is a change he made according to the situation of the game, but it completely disrupted PSV's usual offensive routine.

Eindhoven's biggest bargaining chip is to attack more points, disperse the enemy's defensive layout, and then use the absolute advantages of the players' personal strength to completely defeat the opponent.

However, Ye Qiu is creating a situation, that is, to concentrate PSV's offensive points that could have been scattered, preferably in the middle, and then focus his defense on the middle, which is very harmful to the defense and the inferior side. favorable.

Of course, Gretz felt that Ye Qiu might not have such a premeditated plan, but his team was indeed doing so.

Therefore, during the intermission, Gretz rearranged and returned to the side attack strategy.

Of course, Ye Qiu also saw it. After the start of the second half, Korka and Romedal began to return to the side. Eindhoven's offense also started to go to the side more often, and then the center responded and advanced.

In the 51st minute, the adjusted Eindhoven finally exerted its strength.

Korka tried to break through Heitinga after getting the ball from the left, but failed to form an effective breakthrough, but before being blocked by the players of Ajax's second team, he suddenly changed direction from the left to the center , Low pass penalty area.

Ruud van Nistelrooy had been waiting for the ball to be sent into the penalty area for a long time. He suddenly pulled it to the left. After getting the ball, he kicked up without the slightest pause and shot a shot that was only about 10 meters away from the goal.

Wow! !
The hearts of the Ajax fans on the sidelines are about to jump out of their voices!

But just when Van Nistelrooy thought that his shot was inevitable, he didn't notice that Kivu failed to block Van Nistelrooy's kick, but used his body to resist Van Nistelrooy's shot. The foot shot hit him directly.

With a bang, the ball hit Kivu and bounced back.

Just when Ruud van Nistelrooy was about to continue to take another shot, Kivu ignored the pain and poked the ball out of the penalty area first, which was able to defuse PSV's fierce offensive this time.

But only 1 minute later, Eindhoven sent the ball into the penalty area again. Nilis was closely marked by Van Duyen. When he had no chance to kick, he chose to knock the ball back to Van Bommel who inserted it. Swinging your right foot directly at the front of the penalty area is a heavy shot.

But perhaps because of his eagerness to score, Van Bommel's shot was very powerful, but he failed to grasp the corner kick and sent it flying.

Soon, PSV Eindhoven, who regained control of the ball, organized another offensive. This time they launched an attack from the right. After Romedal threw Abidal away from the right, he pulled to the center to receive the ball. Without waiting for Abidal to block, he kicked directly.

But this shot was stopped by Stekelenburg first, and the ball was firmly saved.

Eindhoven's offensive in the second half was obviously more violent than the first half. Gretz obviously realized that the physical fitness of his players was not very ideal. He continued to engage in such a war of attrition with the Ajax second team. For Huo Wen, it is undoubtedly a very stupid tactic. They should use their own tyrannical strength to win the battle quickly.

Ye Qiu was also terrified watching from the sidelines. He almost thought that the door was going to be broken again and again, but he escaped again and again.

He came to the sidelines and made a complaining gesture at the players because the players did not do some of his arrangements properly.

Only the players themselves know that Ye Qiu's request to them is to use all means to disrupt PSV's offensive rhythm, and they must not be allowed to maintain a fast and fierce offensive momentum. Strong, will be broken.

De Jong, Maduro, Sneijder and others all noticed the shape of Ye Qiu's mouth. He had already said it clearly, and he almost shouted that it was a foul!

During the halftime break, Ye Qiu mentioned that when necessary, he would directly and decisively foul when the opponent enters the 30-meter zone, but try to use some relatively small, secretive actions that are not easy to get cards.

Fouls are also a tactic in football.

When the opponent's offense is about to improve and the rhythm is well controlled, some small fouls can interrupt the opponent's rhythm and offense without winning cards. This is a tactic that any team will adopt.

Regarding this point, the Ajax second team did poorly in the second half, obviously frightened by the opponent's fierce offensive.

After being reminded by Ye Qiu, the players also started to pay attention.

When Vogel took the ball to organize an offensive, De Jong gently tugged on his jersey in a hidden place, forcing his feet to slow down and successfully steal the ball directly.

In this regard, Vogel is also helpless, because when it comes to small moves and fouls, this group of professional players in Eindhoven uses them more and more skillfully than the players of the second team of Ajax.

So, who can be blamed?
