The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 47
"The biggest contributor to the team's championship?"

In the comprehensive interview area of ​​the Philips Stadium, Van der Vaart, who just won the best player of the game and helped the team win the Dutch Cup with one pass and one shot, was interviewed by a local reporter in the Netherlands, shaking his head modestly and rejecting this. title.

"I think the biggest contributor to the team's championship is not me, but our leader!"

Maybe because the reporters still didn’t believe it, Van der Vaart explained with a smile, “He is a very special person, he always tells us confidently that we can do it, we can overcome difficulties, etc. Maybe this is in In the eyes of others, it will become a mouthpiece, but we always easily believe what he said."

"When we were playing the Going Eagles, we never thought that we would win the championship one day. At that time, the goal of all of us was to win one game at a time. The boss told me that every game is a part of life. If you miss it, you can't go back, so he makes us try to win every game."

"Then we played PSV, Utrecht, Heerenveen, and this time we played Feyenoord, we did it all, and in the end, we all won, I think it's not just The credit of our players and the credit of the head coach are also very important, without his leadership, without his arrangement and adjustment of tactics in each game, we would not be able to win."

In 2000, when the role of the head coach was not really recognized, and more people thought that winning the game depended on the players, many reporters were a little surprised by Van der Vaart's words, but when they thought about it carefully, they found It feels like that.

Almost every match of the second team of Ajax is to put their heads on their waists and fight their opponents desperately. This kind of match is not something that anyone can bear, but Ye Qiu's team can fight against the opponent when the difference in strength is so great. In a big situation, winning one game after another is absolutely not to be underestimated.

Perhaps, in the Netherlands, many people looked down on Ye Qiu's tactics, thinking that he won the championship by defending, but who would dare to say that he could win the championship if he was to lead the second team of Ajax?Who dares to say that he dares to play against the opponent when facing PSV, Feyenoord and other teams?It must be better than Ye Qiu?

Sometimes, the media is talking nonsense in the newspapers, but their hearts are bright and they are not confused.

"Rafael, congratulations on getting the best player!" A reporter congratulated with a smile, "It was reported that many foreign clubs hoped to invite you to join, and now you lead Ajax to the Holland Cup, have you considered going abroad to practice like Cruyff, Overmars and other predecessors? For example, Barcelona, ​​which you have loved since childhood!"

Van der Vaart is still very immature now, and he is not very good at facing such inquiries. He was a little embarrassed, but he did not refute, but shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it that much for the time being, and I haven't received any relevant invitations." .”

"Does that mean that if Barcelona and other giants send you an invitation, you will not refuse?" The reporter asked further, this is also their trick.

Van der Vaart shook his head, "I don't know, this kind of thing... I still have to discuss it with my family, my boss, and listen to their opinions, but what I hope most is to be promoted to the Ajax first team next season .” The last sentence came to Van der Vaart on the spur of the moment, and he’s not an idiot.

"However, outside sources have revealed that the head coach of the second team, Ye Qiu, will leave Ajax after this season."

"Really?" Van der Vaart was a little surprised, he really didn't know, "I don't know where the news came from, but I am very sure that if he is let go, it will be the club's biggest loss, because he is a Amazing head coach!"

"I heard that Ajax's management is interested in Ke? Adrianse!" The reporter reminded.

After all, Van der Vaart shook his head when he heard it, "I'm sorry, I don't know Adrianse, but I know our leader, maybe Adrianse is very good, but our leader led us to the Netherlands. The greatest Dutch Cup winner in the history of football, I think this proves everything!"

Everyone can hear that Van der Vaart is now the head coach who wants to protect himself.

"Then what if Ajax choose Adriance and give up Ye Qiu?" The reporter asked hypothetically.

Van der Vaart understood this time, "I don't want to answer such hypothetical words again, but I will find an opportunity to express my views and ideas to the club. We hope to continue to play under the leadership of the boss."

The last sentence is more or less childish.

In the distance, Ye Qiu was also being interviewed by reporters, and he gave all the credit for winning the championship to the players.

This is a kind of mind that a head coach should have, because as a head coach, you are the direct leader of the team, and your team has received honors, whether it is the credit of the players or other aspects, the credit of the head coach Part of it is inside, and no one can erase it. If this is the case, why bother to grab credit from the players?

"We've gone game by game, we've beaten one after another, it's been very, very tough for us, but I swear, we never thought we'd be here, all of us, all the time They all have only one belief, that is to do their best to prove themselves.”

Ye Qiu's words made the reporters opposite him nod incessantly. If he wanted to win the championship from the very beginning, then Ye Qiu must be crazy.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, you led a youth team to win the Holland Cup in an unprecedented way. According to the rules, you and your team can participate in the UEFA Cup next season, but the Ajax first team will not be able to participate in the next season's UEFA Cup. Many people are curious about European competitions, how does the Football Association arrange? What do you think?"

This is indeed a very ironic thing. The first team cannot participate in the European competition, but the second team has qualified for the European competition. Looking at the whole world, this is really the only one, and there is no semicolon.

But the question is, how to do it?
Let the Ajax second team go to the UEFA Cup?Will UEFA agree?
But if the Ajax second team is not allowed to go, then who will go?Ajax first team?
This is indeed a very difficult issue. As early as the final list came out and Feyenoord qualified for the Champions League, many media have started to hype this point. Now that the second team of Ajax has won the Dutch Cup, they naturally I was even more unwilling to let it go, and began to speculate on how to arrange it.

"I think this kind of matter should be left to the club and the Football Association for negotiation. I personally obey any decision they make."

Comparing his heart to heart, Ye Qiu can understand their difficulties, and he personally feels that, if there is no accident, he should regard the Ajax second team as a part of the first team, and give the UEFA Cup qualifications belonging to the second team to the first team. This can also make up for the regret that the first team cannot participate in European competitions.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, there is news that you plan to leave Ajax after this season to coach a professional team alone. Is that true? Can you disclose some information?" A reporter asked with concern.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes, I am indeed considering coaching a team alone. I think this is a very interesting new challenge for me. I hope to have such an opportunity, but I haven't made a decision yet. Decide!"

After winning the Holland Cup, Ye Qiu no longer needed to worry about his whereabouts. He even dared to say that someone else chose him before, but now he chooses others. At least now he has enough capital to choose his own whereabouts.

Football is like this, it is cruel, but it is also very realistic, a world where the strong are respected!

…………

…………

For the Ajax fans who came from afar, the awards ceremony is undoubtedly the most celebratory moment in the past season.

The team they love has encountered the most painful turmoil and trough in decades in the past year, which makes them feel excited when they can win this championship trophy, and they also rekindle their love for the club. expectations.

At least, seeing such a youth team, they also saw the hope of revival.

After the awards ceremony, the players of the Ajax II team stayed at the scene to interact with the fans for a while, then returned to the locker room, took a shower and changed clothes, packed up their things, and then boarded the team bus and went to Not far from the Philips Stadium, the hotel where the Dutch Football Association holds a post-match reception.

This is a routine event that will be held after every final game, because every final game will invite some important guests, some are executives from UEFA and the Dutch Football Association, some are important sponsors, etc. Always have a treat after the game.

When Ye Qiu and the others arrived at the hotel, the place was already crowded with countless reporters who had come from afar. When they saw this group of Dutch Cup champions getting off the bus, the spotlights flickered, "Look!" Here!" voices rang out endlessly.

A staff member had already separated a path for the players of the second team of Ajax and walked directly into the hotel.

In addition to invited guests and players of the two teams, the reception also included the wives, girlfriends and relatives of the players.

As soon as Ye Qiu entered the hotel, he began to look for Huang Chu everywhere. She was not only an employee of Ajax Medical Department, but also a female companion invited by Ye Qiu, but there were so many people there that he couldn't find her.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!" A middle-aged Dutch man walked over, "Roland Altmans, the chairman of the NAC, we have returned to the Eredivisie this season!"

When he said this, Ye Qiu immediately nodded with a smile. NAC is the official name of Breda. It was relegated from the Eredivisie before, but after only one season, Breda returned to the Eredivisie from the Eredivisie. Ambitious, digging corners everywhere, and now he has his eyes on Hershey of the Ajax first team.

"Hello, Mr. Altmans!" Ye Qiu shook his hand politely.

"Although we have only been out of the Eredivisie for a year, the situation in the Eredivisie is completely different from a year ago. Especially in the recent period, you and the Ajax second team you led have caused a lot of controversy. Pay attention, I have always been paying attention to your team, and I also appreciate your coaching ability, I hope to have the opportunity to sit down and have a good chat!"

Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, "Very happy!" He would not refuse such an overture.

Although Breda is a newly promoted player, he has many years of experience in the Eredivisie, his strength is not too bad, and he is willing to invest. Recently, he has been poaching quite a lot. Such a team must do a lot, so there is no Few people think that Breda will be a strength that should not be underestimated in the Eredivisie next season.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, your team is doing great!"

Altmans had just been sent away, and a Dutch old man over [-] years old was immediately ushered in. Ye Qiu recognized him. The chairman of NEC Nijmegen, Hans Van Delft, heard that he was very interested in Nijmegen this season. Heng was very dissatisfied with his performance and wanted to change coaches intentionally. Moreover, their general manager Theo Peeters had praised Ye Qiu in the media before.

"Hello, Mr. Delft!"

"This is my business card. We all hope that you can think about it carefully. Next season we plan to make further investment. Are you interested in coming to Nijmegen?" Van der Ford sent out the invitation directly with a smile.

Ye Qiu was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while, "Let me think about it carefully!"

"Okay, call me anytime!"

After seeing Vanderfurt off, Ye Qiu smiled wryly and shook his head.

When he was a fan in his previous life, he thought that inviting a head coach to coach, or inviting a player to join the team, should be a very serious and solemn matter, but in fact it is not at all.

For the chairmen and owners of these clubs, in many cases, the head coach and players depend on their preferences and the needs of the team, just like Ajax today, the biggest problem of the team is defense, but Van Pu What Lager fell in love with was Adriance, who regarded offense as his life.

Or it can be said that, when it comes to wealthy teams, down to civilian teams, coaching changes or signings, in fact, very few teams have conducted very serious evaluations, especially on the issue of coaching changes. Their attitudes are very clear, and the big deal is that they will be replaced when it is not suitable.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!"

Just after seeing off Vanderfurt, he took two steps and welcomed a younger, middle-aged man in his 40s.

"I'm Han Berg from Utrecht, the director of the club who is responsible for football!" The other party introduced himself politely.

Ye Qiu greeted with a smile, he felt his smile was a little stiff, "Hello, Mr. Berg!"

"First of all, congratulations on winning the Holland Cup. You know, at your age, leading a youth team and being able to have the last laugh in the Dutch Cup will definitely surprise countless people!"

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu responded politely.

Utrecht's performance this season is not satisfactory. Many people attribute the responsibility to the head coach Mark Voight, and the latter was also announced to be dismissed after the end of the season. Now Utrecht is looking for Head coach for the new season.

Sometimes, the more unconventional a strong team is, the more courageous it is to break new ground.

"Both the chairman and I, Mr. Hollemans, feel that the temperament and style you have shown in leading the Ajax second team are in line with our positioning of the team in the future. You know, our positioning of the team this season. The performance is not satisfactory, I hope to change in the new season, and we are all very optimistic about the changes you can bring to the team."

After a pause, Berg smiled again, "Of course, we didn't want you to make a decision immediately, but we are really sincere, we have considered it, and we can give the head coach more transfer budget in the new season , higher power, and more freedom and patience for longer."

Speaking of this, Berg patted Ye Qiu's shoulder very friendly, "Think about it carefully, Utrecht is a team with a lot of heritage and a team with great ambitions, and it will definitely give you Space to display your talent!"

After sending Berg away, Ye Qiu felt really flattered, because whether it was Breda, Utrecht, or Nijmegen, they would never consider him a year ago. But now they all came to their door on their own initiative. The most important reason was that Ye Qiu had just won the championship.

After finally getting rid of the entanglement, Ye Qiu finally found a place accompanied by the staff.

Huang Chu was dressed very beautifully today, a milky yellow camisole, showing shoulders that are rarely seen on weekdays, as if she was not used to being exposed to the air, with an indescribable mellow luster, and that pair of white powder The tender arms are full of a kind of dexterous arc, which is indescribably soft.

A pair of dark blue skinny jeans outlined her slender and beautiful legs, even compared to those professional models, and one dark and one light, the two colors fit together just right, no It's pleasing to the eye.

"Hey, good-looking is good-looking, but you don't have to stare straight?" Eliza, who was sitting beside Huang Chu, complained and scolded.

Frankly speaking, she is also very beautiful today, her blond hair is parted in seven parts, which just breaks out that delicate face like a flower, and the clothes on her body are also very simple, but just right, it outlines her tall and perfect figure at a glance , and the rolled up cuffs greatly added to the fashion of her outfit.

In a word, beautiful!

"Are you jealous?" Ye Qiu smiled and sat down next to Huang Chu.

This immediately made him the focus of the audience, because the two most beautiful girls in the audience sat with him.

You know, there were people who wanted to come and sit with them just now, but they all persuaded them to go away on the grounds that they had someone. Now everyone understands that they are all waiting for Ye Qiu.

"I'm jealous?" Eliza spat. "Do I seem like the kind of person who needs compliments?"

Seeing the two quarreling, Huang Chu giggled. She didn't know why, but anyway, she was in a very good mood, very good.

A large part of the reason was to be happy for Ye Qiu.

"Are there many people who want to poach you?" Eliza watched Ye Qiu's encounters along the way.

Ye Qiu nodded, "You know everything?"

"Is there anything that can hide it from me?" Eliza smiled, "But don't be too happy, part of the reason why they look at you is to poach someone from the Ajax second team through you." Criticizing people, this kind of method has become commonplace.”

Hearing what she said, Ye Qiu suddenly realized something, and couldn't help nodding.

"As your manager, what I want to advise you is that the current situation is rather chaotic, so relax and wait until you see it clearly!" Eliza persuaded as a matter of course.

"Wait!" Ye Qiu immediately stopped, "Since when did you become my manager?"

"Just now!" Eliza picked up a glass of juice and drank it with a smile.
