Chapter 84 Accident
"What did you say?"
After the afternoon training session, coach Ronald Koeman's surprised voice came from the first team coach's office.
At this time, the core executives of the Ajax athletic department gathered in the office.
Headed by technical director Van Gaal, two youth assistants Luther Carroll and Patrick Ladrew, and chief scout Tony Browns-Slots, they all gathered in Ronald Koeman's office.
"You promised Trabelsi, as long as the contract is renewed, let him leave the team in half a year?"
Van Gaal nodded positively, "Yes, this clause will also be included in the contract extension."
"I don't understand." Ronald Koeman shook his head.
"No, you understand, it's just that you don't want to admit it." Van Gaal said with certainty.
Everyone can't help being a little silent.
"The current situation in European football is no longer what it used to be, and Ajax is not what it used to be. But many of us are still immersed in the glory and glory of the past, unable to extricate ourselves. For this, how many wrong decisions have we made? How many benefits have we lost that should not have been lost?"
Everyone was immediately speechless.
Why not?
"Not only Trabelsi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart, Escuder... any player in the club, as long as he wants to leave, we can let him go if we get the right offer."
Van Gaal spoke very resolutely, but this remark caused a huge shock to everyone present.
This means that Ajax will undergo a huge change from top to bottom, and even the management system of the entire club will also have to undergo changes, which will affect everyone in the current club.
From now on, Ajax will completely embark on the business model of training players for the four major leagues. In this club, there will be no such thing as not for sale, no matter who it is.
Surprised, Ronald Koeman couldn't accept it, "Luis, if you do this, how can the team's cohesion come from? How can the team ensure their competitiveness in the league and in the Champions League?"
"It's very simple. If you sell one, you will bring in another one. South America, Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, Africa, and even Asia, there are young players with great potential and talent everywhere. Isn't what Ajax is best at cultivating young players?"
"We bought at a low price, trained them, and sold them at a high price to earn the difference. Players naturally hope to use the platform of Ajax to achieve self-improvement, and use the team as a platform to enter the four major leagues, just like Escuder, so we don't need to worry about the competitiveness of the team at all."
Van Gaal's statement was a huge shock to Ajax's past business philosophy, which shocked everyone present.
In the past, Ajax also sold people, but most of the time they only sold people when they were forced to.
It's like Trabelsi, if it is a smart team, it should have taken a quick move in the summer, grab a large transfer fee from the giants of the four major leagues, and then introduce a young player worth training, so as to avoid losing the current dilemma faced by the team.
But Ajax did not do this. Instead, they wanted to keep Trabelsi. The result was good. Not long after the start of the season, Trabelsi wanted to leave the team. With only half a year left in the contract, the team was also very unfavorable.
It is even conceivable that Ajax would have suffered a huge loss in the transfer of Trabelsi without the two-year automatic renewal clause left when the contract was signed that year, either at a very low price during the winter break.
This is true for Trabelsi, as are van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic and Sneijder.
Only by changing the club's business model can Ajax avoid this kind of thing from happening again and again.
But I have to say that Van Gaal's set of ideas is too radical.
"I believe that Trabelsi should give an answer within the next few days. Next, I will talk to Van der Vaart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, hoping to stabilize the team as soon as possible and reunite the players before the final game against Bruges."
As the head coach, Van Gaal is deeply committed to this set of management techniques.
"I have issued a military order with Michael. If I fail to qualify for the Champions League group stage this season, I will take the blame and resign."
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, because they knew exactly what this meant.
There is no doubt that Van Gaal is a famous coach in the world, but since he led Ajax to achieve glory in the 90s of the last century, he has not achieved any outstanding results. He entered Barcelona twice but returned without success. He even failed to enter the World Cup when he coached the Dutch national team.
Anyone who is familiar with European football knows that whether it is Barcelona or the Netherlands, Van Gaal should not be completely blamed, but fans and the media don't care about this, they only care about hype and criticism.
If Van Gaal leaves the position of technical director of Ajax in disgrace now, his coaching career may be bleak, and he may even slip from the position of the first-line coach in Europe. It will be difficult for rich teams to invite him in the future.
It can be said that Van Gaal's move is simply a bet on his career.
Not to mention other people, even Ronald Koeman, who has always been very uncomfortable with Van Gaal, can't help but feel a little moved at this moment.
This is not just a matter of professional ethics, but more importantly, Van Gaal's affection for Ajax.
And Koeman also knows that Van Gaal took the initiative to take the blame, and his head coach will be preserved.
Thinking of this, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
But at this moment, Van Gaal suddenly turned his head and looked at Ronald Koeman.
"Ronald, this game against Club Brugge, I want you to promise me one thing."
…………
…………
In the next two days, Ajax continued to prepare for the No.14 round of the Eredivisie in a calm manner.
Ronald Koeman announced the team's 18-man roster one day in advance, and Vermaelen was among them, but Yang Yang, who had just been transferred from the second team, failed to make the roster, which made Yang Yang somewhat disappointed.
On the day of the game, Ronald Koeman did not put Vermaelen into the starting lineup, and still ranked Heitinga and Escuder as partners. John O'Brien was still on the right, and Maxwell on the left was replaced by Czech defender Zdenek Gryguera.
Although the 23-year-old Czech international is right-footed and just joined the team this summer, he has been overwhelmed by Trabelsi before. In addition, Grigera is more or less a jack-of-all-trades role.
The change of the defense also affected the stability on the court. In just 15 minutes of the game, the home team Roda JC sent an exquisite assist by forward Kone to help the team take a [-]-[-] lead.
After that, Ajax could not attack for a long time. The front trident composed of Scola, Songk and Sawyertals was always difficult to break through the defense of Roda JC. Grigera was injured in the No.403 minute, and Koeman had to use De Jong as a substitute.
After changing sides in the second half, after Koeman's midfield adjustment, Ajax launched a round of attack. Van der Vaart assisted Scola to score in the No.409 minute by virtue of his personal ability, and Sawyertals also overtook the score in the No.60 two minutes.
The thrilling battle allowed Ajax to retain its position as the league leader, leading No.2 Eindhoven by four points, and leading No.3 Feyenoord by as many as ten points, occupying a favorable advantage in the league championship battle.
But in the Eredivisie league scoring list, Kezhiman topped the list with [-] goals in [-] rounds, and Ajax's top scorer Ibrahimovic only scored [-] goals, tied for second place in the scorer list.
The outside media and fans did not pay much attention to Ajax's narrow victory over Roda JC. Everyone's attention fell on the final round of the Champions League group stage, the key away game against Bruges, Belgium.
This game will determine whether Ajax can advance to the Champions League knockout round, and it will also determine the fate of Ajax technical director Van Gaal, but the latter is not well known.
The good news is that on the second day after playing Roda JC, Ajax officially announced that they had completed the contract renewal with the team's main right back Trabelsi. The two parties decided to fulfill the previous contract and renew it for two years.
This is undoubtedly a relief for Trabelsi, who has been mired in the transfer quagmire in the past few months. At the signing ceremony, when facing media reporters, he expressed emotionally that his injury has basically recovered and he hopes to return to the game as soon as possible.
The head coach Ronald Koeman also stated that Trabelsi's physical condition is recovering ideally, and the team doctor has given him the green light to play the game. He will appear in the middle of the week against Bruges, Belgium.
At the critical moment, the return of the general boosted the morale of Ajax.
Especially in the past period of time, the technical director Van Gaal has interviewed Van der Vaart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and other team generals, and everyone basically reached a consensus, that is, when the current team is alive and dead, everything must be left behind, and first beat Bruges in the away game, and then talk about other things.
Van Gaal also promised on behalf of the club that by next summer, as long as the opposing team is willing to offer a suitable price, Ajax will seriously consider the transfer of players, no matter who they are.
This statement also boosted the morale of the players, and everyone began to realize that they need to work harder to win a brighter future for themselves.
The team's internal conflicts have been eased, everyone has reached an agreement, and the guns are open to the outside world. The haze that was suppressed over De Tokmorst gradually faded, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But just the day before going to Belgium, Ronald Koeman announced the team's 18-man roster for the away game as usual.
As a result, to everyone's surprise, Yang Yang, who had just been transferred from the second team for less than a week, was on the list.
The storm is coming soon, let the tickets in your hands be smashed more violently! ! ! ! !
