The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 3
Although Van Gaal's golden age is over and Ajax is crumbling under the impact of the Bosman Act, Michael van Prager is ambitious to reform the club and lead Ajax to a new round of glory. revival.

Ye Qiu is also full of respect for this chairman of Ajax, who is equally respected and important in Dutch football and European football, and is one of the founders of the giant G14. At least he is fair.

"I would like to ask Mr. Chairman, what was the purpose of hiring us into the Ajax youth training camp two months ago?"

Van Prager wasn't upset by Ye Qiu's roll call, and he wasn't a person who liked to put on airs, so Leo Benhak could call him Michael directly and talk about him as a friend. He listened and smiled slightly. , "Of course it is necessary to reform!"

"Yes, then let me ask Mr. Chairman again, what is reform?" Ye Qiu continued to ask without waiting for Van Prager to think deeply.

This time, Van Prager couldn't answer, because he said that he wanted to reform, but in fact, no one had a formula for how to reform. It can even be said that the reforms in the football world basically have no rules or formulas. They are all promoted by the will of a certain aspect, or the head coach, or the technical director, and so on.

"Ajax has been the hall of youth training for decades, but I would like to ask Mr. Chairman, why did Cruyff, Rijkaard, Van Basten, Bergkamp, ​​and later Kluivert and others, the players from Ajax's youth training, have never been able to break through, or even achieved the achievements of their predecessors?"

This is actually a common doubt among many Ajax people, that is, Michels and Cruyff, who laid the foundation of the Ajax youth training system, helped Ajax reach the peak of history , But after that, Ajax's youth training is going from bad to worse?

"I very much agree with what Mr. Leo Benhak said just now. He is very right. Ajax's youth training is so good, there must be some reasonable advancements in him, but over the years, the players we have trained are not as good as the previous generation. , can it also be said that there are also unreasonable things in our youth training system?"

Ye Qiu's words were very orderly, and he pushed forward step by step. No one present could give a rebuttal. On the contrary, many people listened and couldn't help nodding. This is actually not a secret, Van Prager He said that he wanted to reform, but in fact it was because he saw this.

It's just that Michel and Cruyff's status in Ajax and Dutch football is sacred, and no one can shake it, so they won't say it, but they can't stop them from thinking like this in their hearts.

That is, their set has not kept up with the pace of the times!

"What exactly do you want to say?" Van Prager looked at the young Chinese in front of him. He had a good appearance, and he had the handsomeness of an oriental man, but his words were sonorous and not lacking in backbone. A young man who is easy to like.

"What I want to say is that reform is to try, to take risks, to get rid of those bad things in the club system that cannot keep up with the times, and to keep the traditions and advanced youth training concepts and elements in the club system. , The combination of hatchbacks will ensure the improvement and progress of the Ajax system!"

"As for how to reform, I have discussed with the head coach Mr. Waters. We all feel that it is impossible to carry out earth-shaking reforms all at once, so we must first try locally as a pilot. If it succeeds, it can be generalized, and if it fails, the loss is not too big, and it can be recovered!"

When Waters heard this, he was taken aback for a moment. When did he discuss this with Ye Qiu?

But after thinking about it again, Ye Qiu's words made Fan Prager's words obvious, and his tone had softened at this time, and he was already tied to the same boat with Ye Qiu, so naturally he wanted to create momentum for him at this time.

"Yes, Michael, Ye Qiu comes from the Cologne Sports Academy and has very unique football insights. I think we should pay attention to some of his youth training ideas. That's why I invited him to Ajax in the first place!"

Facts have proved that it is natural for everyone to take credit.

Van Prager nodded, which immediately made Westerhoff scream in his heart.

"Then tell me, what is your opinion on the reform of the youth training system?" Sure enough, Van Prager asked.

Ye Qiu thought for a while while nodding, "I think there are many problems. First of all, our youth training pays too much attention to the indoctrination of formation and tactics, while ignoring the cultivation of skills. You know, players 12 Before the age of [-], the building of basic technical skills is very critical, which is enough to affect the player's life."

After hearing this, Westhof sneered immediately, "You mean, our youth training is fundamentally wrong? According to you, Cruyff, Van Basten, Bergkamp, ​​etc. How are people cultivated? If we only practice skills, how can our Ajax system be consistent?"

Ye Qiu didn't care. Now that the initiative was in his hands, he didn't need to get angry at Westerhoff's questioning. It would weaken his position in the hearts of other neutrals, so he nodded with a smile.

"You are half right. In the past, the tactical formation was loose and the division of labor on the pitch was relatively simple. At that time, our disciplined and overall football at Ajax could achieve the best results. And don't forget, Michelle With the success of Stanley and Cruyff, their teams have super talents like Cruyff, Rijkaard and Van Basten."

"Even during the Van Gaal period, our team also gathered a group of top stars such as Kluivert, Overmars and Litmanen. We can even say that on the basis of having such a group of players , no matter what tactics you use, as long as you can combine the players into a whole and give full play to the strengths of the players, we can win!"

"However," Ye Qiu emphasized one point, "that's based on the individual strength of the players!"

Ye Qiu's words shocked many people present, because they had thought about the problem of the deteriorating youth training, but they seldom thought about it from this direction. After all, their perspective couldn't be like Ye Qiu's. With more than ten years of knowledge and vision, it is natural to look at problems more deeply.

"So what I mean is that we must not only pay attention to personal technical training, but also maintain the unity of the Ajax system. We should appropriately strengthen the basic skills and technical training of young players, and strengthen the technical strengthening of each youth training age group. As for At the tactical level, we can start instilling it from around the age of 14 or 15, and then start to strengthen it from the A age group and the Ajax second team."

This is something that countless youth training systems have been doing since then. Ye Qiu saw some on the Internet in his previous life, and combined with what he has learned so far, he came up with a general framework and prototype.

But even if it is just a prototype, it is enough for many people present to see a train of thought clearly.

Of course, people with ulterior motives are exceptions.

"What you said is simple. If you really do what you say, De Tokmoster is bound to turn the world upside down. Success is easy to say, but what if it fails? You pat your ass and leave, but the bitter fruit will be the club. Bear it with the fans!" Westerhoff continued to sneer, this time he couldn't beat Ye Qiu professionally, so he made a fuss about the unpredictable future.

Ye Qiu laughed even more when he heard this, "Mr. Westerhoff, what you said was indeed Mr. Waters' worries. I discussed this with him, and he also said that he wanted to support the Ajax fans. , the management and the players are responsible, so he thinks that a large-scale promotion should not be carried out for the time being, but he also feels that if he cannot keep pace with the times, Ajax will be eliminated by the European mainstream sooner or later, so he gave me The suggestion is to first use the E1 team I lead as a pilot to try out the effect."

Waters broke down a bit at this time, when did he say these words?
But obviously, admitting what Ye Qiu said is only good for him, not bad, and he can get a title that is righteous and considerate for the club, so he nodded and admitted, "Yes, Michael, I think about him very much. Interested, but also worried, so I thought I'd try it out first."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Qiu's previous actions became legal!

Van Prager also kept nodding, "You have handled this matter very well, focusing on the club, very good!"

Waters listened, not to mention how happy he was.

"Mr. Chairman, although Mr. Waters is the head coach of the first team, he came from De Tokmoster. He is very concerned about the progress of the youth academy, so we talked about it before. Let's start with the E1 team. Try it out, see the effect, if it is suitable, then gradually promote and explore, and strive to be successful every step of the way!"

"It's a good step by step, well said!" Van Prager praised.

The reformists these days want revolution but are afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. Ye Qiu's step-by-step strategy suits their tastes, so even the blind can see that Van Prager is now fully supporting Ye Qiu. Become a reformist.

"It's said to be invincible, what can we do? What's the effect?" Westhoff saw that suppressing Ye Qiu would not work, and secretly prepared to plant another mine for Ye Qiu. It was best to limit his attempt for a while.

As soon as Westhoff said this, everyone immediately looked at Ye Qiu again.

"I think it's hard to comment on this matter, or we'll just let Ye Qiu and Hans choose two teams with similar strength from the youth training camp, and they will be responsible for leading and training the teams respectively. Each of them will train for two months, and then they will play a few games to see who is better, what do you think?"

Leo Benhak, who hadn't spoken yet, followed Westerhoff's words and said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar, feeling that this was too unfair to Ye Qiu.

You know, Westerhoff is considered the number one famous figure in the Netherlands, and he, a fledgling boy, wants to challenge him. Isn't this a tiger's mouth?
But when these words came from Leo Benhak, everyone felt or dared not refute them, including Waters.

"Boy, I'm afraid you don't have the guts!" Westerhof also sneered with a gloomy face, "But it's boring like this, let's make some bets, whoever loses will get out of Ajax." Si, how is it?"

This time, the audience was in an uproar again.

"Hey, Hans, there's no need to gamble so much in healthy competition among colleagues!" Van Prager stopped him, and now he was interested in Ye Qiu, who spoke well, because many of Ye Qiu's remarks made him The originally chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear, and many things became clear.

"Don't you dare?" Westhof sneered, he clearly wanted to overwhelm Ye Qiu with his aura.

Ye Qiu also laughed, and said proudly: "Okay, you can gamble, let's limit it to two months, whoever loses will take the initiative to resign!"

"Okay!" Westerhoff also agreed.

Both of them agreed, and even the chairman of the club, Van Prager, had no way to stop them, so he could only acquiesce.

This youth training meeting ended in this bet.

Westhof left with Leo Benhak, Van Prager also said a few words to Ye Qiu, leaving Waters alone.

"You are really careless. Although I don't like Hans, I have to admit that you are far inferior to him in training players. If you bet against him, it will be a bad luck!" Waters said very Thanks to Ye Qiu for winning the limelight for him just now, but he is worried about his future.

"Don't worry, I will never fight an unsure battle. Besides, now that I have drawn Westhof's energy, it is also convenient for you to receive De Tokmoster!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Waters was taken aback, and immediately understood that he misunderstood that Ye Qiu deliberately bet on his future with Westerhoff in order to help him take over De Tokmorst, and he was very grateful, "Don't worry, don't worry. You help me, I will remember, when you lose, I will also speak for you in front of Michael, you don't have to worry about leaving the team!"

"Big deal, I'll let you serve as an assistant coach in the first team!"

Ye Qiu just smiled after hearing this. In his memory, Waters didn't seem to have finished this season. This guy is still too young, and he is too obsessed with power struggles. Heart, and now Ajax's player strength does not have any advantage even among the traditional Dutch teams.

Sometimes, many things are doomed!

Although Ye Qiu persuaded Waters to focus on the performance of leading the first team, Waters didn't seem to care much about it. The three consecutive victories at the beginning of the league and the two big victories made him a little Feeling overwhelmed, this is definitely a taboo for a head coach.

But he couldn't listen to Ye Qiu's words, Ye Qiu had no choice but to let him go.

The most important thing now is to make some achievements first, so that even if he really leaves Ajax in the future, he will have the ability to gain a foothold in other European clubs and live by this ability.

After sending Waters away, Ye Qiu returned to the coach's dormitory in the youth team training building.

It is said to be a dormitory, but it is actually a lounge. Because De Tokmost has no dormitory, coaches and players have to live outside, so some lounges have been arranged so that coaches and some players who live far away can train at noon Rest in camp.

Ye Qiu has a room exclusively for himself. Once he walks in, he locks it, goes to bed, and closes his eyes.

In his mind, as soon as his thoughts moved, a message jumped out immediately.

The godfather cultivation system is starting, please wait...

While waiting, Ye Qiu felt very happy in his heart.

Now the whole world thinks that compared with Westhoff, he is undoubtedly defeated, but he has very strong self-confidence because he has the system brought by this time travel, even though he only activated the trial level in this system , but enough to kill Westerhof.

Because the previous system has explained that if players are trained according to the training method it recommends, the effect will be seen in one month at the fastest, and two months at the slowest. Get the hell out of De Tokmost.
