The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 54 Dutch Flying Wings
Groningen, many people are known to ridicule, Gecun.

This is mainly because Groningen is located in the northeast of the Netherlands and is a major agricultural production area.

From the Groningen train station, all the way to the north, there are green pastures along the way, stretching as far as the eye can see, a group of lazy cows are gnawing on the green grass leisurely on the pasture under the blue sky, raising their heads from time to time, moo~

Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile very happily.

At this moment, he is sitting in the car heading to Bedum. On the left side of the road is a clear river, and on the right side is the scene of the pasture he just saw, which made him suddenly I felt relieved for a while.

At this time, if it is riding a horse and galloping, it should have a different taste.

However, just thinking about it, he doesn't know how to ride a horse.

From the train station to Bedum, 15 minutes.

This is a small town with a small population. If it is in China, it may only be regarded as a village.

Because it was a hot summer, there were many elderly people playing outside, some were fishing by the river, and some were going down the river in a kayak, which aroused a burst of cheers, but it was quite a joy.

Ye Qiu got off at the intersection and walked into a coffee shop called Herrett.

A piece of paper was taped outside the store with a funny saying, "All singles welcome!"

"The owner of this shop must be a man who can't get girls!" Roland pointed at the piece of paper and smiled.

Ye Qiu also smiled, pushed open the door of the coffee shop and went in.

"Welcome!" It was really a young man who came out to receive him, "Excuse me, what do you want?"

Ye Qiu walked up, "Hello, I want to find someone."

"Tell me, I know everyone in this town!" The shop owner was very enthusiastic.

"Hans Robben!" Ye Qiu said.

The man smiled, "Looking for Hans, you go out and walk along this street, turn right at the intersection, the third one is there!"

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu nodded his thanks.

"Are you here to find Aryan?"

Ye Qiu stopped walking towards the store door, nodded, "Yes, we are from Ajax!"

"Ajax?" The store owner was a little surprised, but soon laughed, "Arjan is the best talent we haven't seen in our town for decades, you really have vision!"

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu walked out of the store directly this time.

He took Roland out the door, went straight ahead, and found Robben's house in the direction indicated by the shop owner.

A small and exquisite one-and-a-half-story red brick house like other houses in the town, except for a car parked at the door and a bicycle leaning beside it.

Jingle ~ Jingle ~
Ye Qiu stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and a middle-aged man came out not long after. When he saw Ye Qiu, he was slightly taken aback. He obviously didn't expect an Oriental to visit, but he quickly noticed Arrived at Roland.

"Hello, Aryan? Robben's house?" Ye Qiu asked politely.

Hans nodded, "Yes, you are?"

"Ye Qiu, head coach of Ajax!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

This news has spread throughout the Netherlands. Anyone who pays attention to football knows that Ajax has set an extraordinary record, that is, they have hired a 25-year-old Chinese man as their head coach.

Of course, many people are not optimistic about Ye Qiu coaching the first team, but no one can deny that Ye Qiu can lead the second team to defeat PSV, Feyenoord and other strong teams to win the Dutch Cup. A great achievement.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu, please come in!" Hans immediately realized what had happened.

Ever since Ye Qiu led the U15s to play a game against Groningen's youth team, he began to focus on Robben.

This kid is indeed a good piece of material. He was very eye-catching in the U15 last season. Except for the game against Ajax, he scored goals in almost every game. He scored a total of 50 goals in all competitions. Ball, this figure even surpassed Huntelaar and van der Vaart, which shows Robben's strength and potential.

However, Groningen was in the Dutch second league last season, and their youth team is relatively average. The media will not focus on the youth team's matches now, so for Robben's 50 goals in the youth team The things about him should only be known to the scouts and clubs who focus on him.

Of course, it is not clear if any club contacted Robben.

In the previous life, Robben was always bald, but now Robben, who is only 16 years old, has short black hair, very short, so it still looks not much different from his previous life, Ye Qiuyi You can recognize it just by looking at it.

Naturally, Robben also recognized Ye Qiu, and when he came downstairs to meet him, he took the initiative to say hello.

At least, the previous match between Ajax and Groningen left a deep impression on Robben, and it was also his worst match last season. Coupled with Ye Qiu's series of deeds in the second team, It's hard for him to forget this person.

"Mr. Robben, since the last time I led the U15s to a game against Groningen, our scouts have started to pay attention to your son. We appreciate his performance in the youth team very much, so this time I came to visit. The main purpose is to invite your son to come to Amsterdam and play for Ajax!"

Ye Qiu likes to get straight to the point. As soon as he sees Robben recognizes him, he immediately jumps into the topic.

Hans Robben is also very proud of his son, and he has received contact from some scouts before, so he is not surprised that his son can attract the attention of Ajax.

Although there are many rookies who score more goals in the Dutch youth team league, there are not many who can score 50 goals in a season!

"Mr. Ye Qiu, thank you very much for your attention to Arjan, but we have already signed a professional contract with Groningen, and Arjan is still studying in Groningen, so I'm afraid we can only say sorry to you!" Han Si shook his head.

Ye Qiu was not surprised by this, because Ajax's scouts had contacted him before, but he was rejected. Otherwise, Ye Qiu wouldn't have come to the door in person, and since he came, he wouldn't give up so easily. .

"I know your concerns. We are in Amsterdam and have very close cooperation with the best high schools and universities. Many players in our team, such as Rafael van der Vaart, Wesley Sneijder, Claes Jan Huntelaar, they are still in school, but they will play for the team's first team in the new season!"

Ye Qiu's words seemed to be introducing himself, but they were actually throwing out an olive branch of temptation, telling Hans and Robben, look at your peers, they will all play in the Ajax first team Games, Eredivisie, even European competitions, don't you want to be like them?

Sure enough, Ye Qiu's words made Hans and Robben look at each other, obviously a little shaken.

You must know that the weight of the same promise from the mouth of the scout is completely different from that of the head coach.

"In the new season, we will carry out youth reform. I am from the youth academy. At that time, there will be a group of outstanding young rookies representing Ajax. I am very confident that in the next few years, Create a brand new Ajax youth army full of combat effectiveness!"

After a pause, Ye Qiu looked at Robben and his son with a sincere expression, "I hope Aryan can become one of them!"

After speaking, Ye Qiu looked at Roland, who immediately took out a document from his briefcase.

This document contains the Ajax scouting department's assessment report on Robben.

Here, I have to mention the investigation process of Ajax's scouts.

Generally speaking, when a scout finds a rookie, or the head coach arranges for a scout to inspect a rookie, they first arrange for the nearest scout to go there, and after a while, they submit a report, which will be based on Ajak As long as the score reaches a certain height, it will automatically enter the next round.

Afterwards, Ajax will pass on the evaluation report to other scouts, usually in the Netherlands, with more than 3 people, and let them also inspect this player, and submit a copy of their scouting report, and then conduct an integrated evaluation , and finally to develop a most detailed and final evaluation report.

This evaluation report will pass through the scouting department, then join the analysis of the technical analysis department, and finally reach the head coach.

Ye Qiu's evaluation report listed Robben's performance in the past season in great detail, pointed out his strengths and weaknesses, and proposed some feasible ways and means of guidance and refinement.

It can be said that Ye Qiu personally took action and would not give up until the goal was achieved, and this report was the key.

Hans looked at the report and couldn't help but admire the ability and rigor of Ajax's scouts. They almost thought of everything they could think of. It was very detailed. In terms of players, there must be nothing to say, other Eredivisie teams can't catch up.

"What I can guarantee is that if Arjan goes to Ajax and plays directly in the Eredivisie next season, I will give him the best environment and care to bring out his characteristics and advantages. Robben can get better play and space because of his ability, coupled with young rookies such as Van der Vaart and Sneijder.

Ye Qiu's commitment and preparation showed his sincerity, especially considering his Ajax background, this was indeed a temptation that Robben and his son could hardly refuse.

Groningen was indeed promoted back to the Eredivisie this season, but compared with Ajax, this team still has a big gap.

"But I'm going to take the high school exam next year!" Robben said with a frown on the side.

Ye Qiu had read some information about Robben in his previous life, so he knew some things about him in high school, and smiled, "Don't worry, Ajax also attaches great importance to this aspect, we will contact the school for you and guarantee you academics and grades, and Amsterdam is not far from Groningen, if you want to visit someone, it is very convenient to go back and forth during the holidays!"

When Robben on the opposite side heard this, he blushed violently. How could he have thought that Ye Qiu would also know about his secret love affair with a certain classmate, which made him completely a shy little boy.

Hans also knew that in terms of schoolwork, Robben's grades were very good, so it was not a big problem, and Ajax's sincerity was enough, but Groningen was a problem.

Regarding Hans' worries, Ye Qiu understood, "If you agree, we will start negotiations with Groningen in the name of the club, and you don't need to come forward, we will directly negotiate."

Today's Robben is just a 16-year-old teenager who has never played in the first team in Groningen. Even if he played well in the youth team, so what?Is there still a shortage of talented rookies in the Dutch youth team?
A player like Robben who has never been honed by the first team will not be worth a lot, and hundreds of thousands will top the sky.

Just like in the previous life, Huntelaar scored 35 goals in 26 games after being loaned to the Dutch second league. The price he switched to Heerenveen was only 90, and he was still in the Dutch second professional league. Robben was just a youth team The league, so the price will not be high no matter what, Ye Qiu can definitely make a decision directly.

However, there is a saying that is quite true, the relationship between supply and demand determines the market price.

The price of Huntelaar in the previous life was not high, mainly because Eindhoven did not value him, but now Groningen attaches great importance to Robben, and originally planned to promote Robben to the first team in the next season, but now Ajak Groningen felt upset when Si suddenly intervened.

But everything is inseparable from a word of money. After Ye Qiu settled Robben and his son, he went directly to the Groningen club with Roland to negotiate.

Although Groningen is not very happy, Ajax has more influence, and you have nothing to do if they get the players, so in the end Groningen can only choose money, but they are very tight on the price. It took 200 million US dollars to release him, but Ye Qiu negotiated with Groningen.

After an afternoon of negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement, and Groningen let go of the hopeful star Arjen Robben for $120 million. The latter will play for Ajax in the new season.

It was only after signing Robben that Ye Qiu deeply realized the benefits of a big club. At least, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to get someone he likes.

…………

…………

Ye Qiu's signing of Robben did not cause the slightest movement or reaction, because this kind of thing is too common in the Netherlands, who would react to Ajax signing a young rookie?

On the contrary, it was another transfer that surprised many people.

That is the Portuguese genius Dani? Carvalho.

As an international player who was once selected for the Portuguese national team, Dani Carvalho's slump in Ajax made him miss the opportunity to participate in the European Cup, but everyone still blamed it on Ajax Despite the turmoil, he still has great confidence in Dani Carvalho's strength.

And in the Iberian Peninsula, Dani? West Second Division, but hope to get Dani? Carvalho, strengthen the team's midfield strength.

In the end, Dani Carvalho switched to Atletico Madrid, who was eager for talent, at a price of 250 million. This transfer is actually not high for a former Portugal international. None of them showed convincing strength, so the transfer was considered a success.

Atletico Madrid's General Manager Futre is very optimistic about Dani Carvalho. He said that Dani Carvalho will be the team's hope to return to La Liga. He firmly believes that Dani Carvalho can play in Atletico Madrid. Get back to your peak.

And this handsome Portuguese guy who is famous in the Iberian Peninsula for his handsome face is also full of expectations for his trip to Madrid. He said that he will use his ability to help Atletico Madrid return to Madrid in the new season. La Liga.

But at the same time, he also said that he was not valued at Ajax, which was the reason why he left the team. On the contrary, Atletico Madrid gave him enough respect. It's a great team.

Ajax let go of Dani Carvalho, ended one of the transfer soap operas, and got 250 million US dollars. Although compared with the expenditure of introducing Dani back then, it was a bit of a disadvantage, but at least it can be regarded as a return some capital.

The most deceitful thing is Huizinger. This Dutch center was introduced from Heerenveen for 400 million U.S. dollars half a year ago, but he can only sell it at a discount of 200 million U.S. dollars after half a year, because he scored in Ajax in half a year. 2 pitiful goals, and with Westhoff's departure, everyone knows that Huizinger will leave, and the price cannot be high.

Think about it, losing salary plus 200 million US dollars in half a year is really cheating!
Immediately after Huizinger announced his return to Heerenveen, he was interviewed by reporters and bombarded Ajax's new coach Ye Qiu.

"He doesn't know how to manage a team at all, and his age makes him unable to control the locker room at all. I have heard a lot of people's dissatisfaction with him. I can guarantee that appointing him as a coach will be a good thing for Alan. Jax's most stupid decision ever, I'm even worried that in the new season, he will bring Ajax to relegation."

For the bombardment from Huizinger, Ajax officials once again expressed their support and affirmation to Ye Qiu, and at the same time criticized Huizinger's remarks about leaving the team, thinking that this is very irresponsible words and deeds.

But Ye Qiu, who was far away in Qatar, didn't know about this matter.

He took Roland to visit Gufren, who coached in Qatar and was respected by FIFA, and hoped to invite him to return to the Netherlands. , but he recommended to Ye Qiu two students who were in Qatar, René Meulensteen and Ricardo Moniz.

In Gufren's words, they already have enough theoretical knowledge and should use more practice to accumulate experience, and Ajax's youth training is undoubtedly a good platform and environment, especially Considering that this is the lair of Michels and Cruyff, it makes Gufren even more excited.

Ye Qiu didn't force it. Gu Furen is so old, and it's not good to force it. Moreover, he is very clear about the abilities of Mullenstin and Moniz, and they are definitely powerful characters. Therefore, this trip to Qatar It can also be said to be a rewarding experience.

After making an appointment with Meulensteen and Moniz, Ye Qiu asked them to return to the Netherlands first, while he himself took Roland to Brazil.
