Chapter 197: People from Barcelona

The Brazilians saved Ajax!

The day after Ajax reversed Juventus 2:1 in an away game, the Amsterdam Aftenposten published such a piece of news on its front page cover. The photo used Ajax. The scene of a group of young players celebrating the second goal in front of the live camera made everyone feel the passion and fighting spirit of this young team.

"Everyone knew before the game that it would be a very difficult game. Juventus are tenacious and experienced. They have a lot of experience in the Champions League, while Ajax is a young team. , although they reached the semi-finals last year, their experience is still far inferior to Juventus. It is an away game and the main center Ibrahimovic is absent due to injury.”

"But no one expected that at the Alpstadion, this group of young people from Amsterdam showed amazing fighting spirit and strength, relying on their own firm belief to finally win the reversal of this game."

"Juventus is the best and most outstanding team in Italy at the moment. Lippi is also known as the best head coach in football today. Defense is his only bible. Many people had already criticized Juventus before the game. Tus's defense is worrying. Ajax is good at attacking. Once they encounter Juventus's iron-clad defense, it will be very risky."

"The progress of the first half seemed to reflect this. Ajax took the initiative and insisted on attacking, but failed to break through Juventus' goal. However, the Old Lady penetrated Ajax through several effective counterattacks. Jax’s goal took the lead, and at that time, I believe most people thought the game might be over.”

"Our reporter received the news that during halftime, Ye Qiu and Lippi met at the entrance of the players' tunnel. At that time, Lippi said to Ye Qiu with a confident face, I'm sorry, I won. Maybe these words angered Ye Qiu. , re-energized his fighting spirit and desire to win, and after he returned to the locker room, he made adjustments to the team, reprimanded the players, and re-energized the team's morale."

"At the beginning of the second half, Ajax still chose to attack, but it was different from before. The team played very lively, especially on the two wings, but what really opened up the situation was a central pass by Brazilian central defender Lucio. Advance with the ball.”

"In the past few years, Ajax fans have always had a love-hate relationship with Lucio's dribbling, but after this game, they will definitely love Lucio to death, because this time the Brazilian central defender Dribbling the ball forward, breaking the deadlock in the midfield and leading to Van der Vaart's goal."

"After equalizing the score, Ajax's morale was high. Ye Qiu took advantage of the victory and chased Juventus fiercely. He quickly broke through again after Yaya Toure stole the ball in the middle and assisted Brazilian right back Maicon. An amazing long-range shot. This long-range shot was very exciting. The intensity and angle were just right, which showed the strength of the Brazilian right back.”

"After reversing the score, Ajax started to play defensive counterattack, and Juventus started to counterattack, but the real threat was Ajax's counterattack, but when Van der Vaart was about to form a one-man attack, Montero's tactics It was a foul, but the referee Hauge did not give the correct penalty. This has to be surprising. It is undoubtedly a tactical foul. "

"Of course, there may be other considerations. After all, 1:2 and 1:3, the former still has hope, but the latter almost determines the death penalty in the second round in advance."

"Regarding the formation of the two coaches in this game, Lippi chose to be safe, while Ye Qiu chose to take risks. The result of the game was also in line with the choices of the two coaches. Juventus was stable, with nothing outstanding. But there were no big mistakes. Ajax had both good and bad mistakes, and they were all obvious.”

"But we still have to make a defense for Ye Qiu. After losing Ibrahimovic and Huntelaar's lack of effectiveness as a lone forward, he gave up the traditional 433 tactic and switched to a strategy more suitable for the current players. The performance of 442 is understandable, and in the end it was Ye Qiu’s adjustments that helped the team complete the reversal.”

"No matter what, with the away victory and two precious away goals, Ajax has half-stepped into the semi-finals. As long as we don't mess up at the Arena, we will usher in the Champions League again." Semifinals!”

Compared to the comments in the Amsterdam Aftenposten, the headlines in the Königsche Zeitung are more focused on the whole.

Ajax used passion to break down the chain defense!

"Lippi's Juventus is hailed by many as the Italian Bronze Wall. This team has caused headaches for all opponents in the European arena. Their extremely good defense and astonishing ability to seize opportunities are all Make this team the favorite to win the Champions League. "

"But in this game at the Alpi Stadium, Ajax made a mistake. In front of Juventus, who had always performed stably in the 90 minutes, Ajax paid the price of their youth, but they also gave full play to their talents. He took advantage of his youth and captured the Alpstadion with his passion. "

"Ye Qiu is like a magician. He spent 15 minutes at halftime at the Alpstadion to lead the team out of the trough of lagging behind, and quickly found a way to suppress Juventus again. At the beginning of the second half The attack and the two goals that followed were amazing to us.”

"Many people like to dwell on Ajax's lineup in this game, which is totally unnecessary, because no matter how Ajax changes, they are still the flying Dutchmen in their bones, and no matter how Juventus adjusts, it is difficult to cover up their catenaccio defense. Therefore, this game is still a fierce collision of passion and stability in the final analysis."

"It is worth mentioning that Ajax, who scored 2 away goals and won an away game, is not necessarily able to qualify. Juventus has the strength to reverse away games. Therefore, Ye Qiu should stay calm enough now and find a way to break through Juventus' defense at home."

"Fortunately, Ibrahimovic's comeback has perfected Ajax's strongest lineup. We may see Ajax fly again at the Arena Stadium."

Of course, not all media give Ajax good reviews and high hopes.

The report from the rival Eindhoven Daily was very simple. They just said that Ajax reversed Juventus 2:1 away from home, and the Amsterdam team showed strong competitiveness. At the same time, they affirmed Ye Qiu's deployment and believed that this game was the result of the Chinese tactical adventure.

The article also mentioned Hiddink. The commentator of Eindhoven Daily believed that compared with Ye Qiu's adventure and Ajax's passion, Hiddink and Eindhoven were like Juventus, which was stable. But the key is that Eindhoven's strength is not as good as Juventus, and Hiddink is far inferior to Lippi.

The comment from the Roman Republic even openly criticized Ye Qiu's deployment as the key to the team's almost losing the game. It is believed that if Ajax had not been lucky and took advantage of Juventus's unstable foothold in the second half to score two goals to complete the reversal, it would be difficult for Ajax to escape unscathed in this game.

"Trezeguet's goal in the first half was the most powerful punishment for Ye Qiu's gambling-style adventure, and the erratic Chinese also completely revealed his true colors in front of Lippi, who was as still as a mountain. Even though he eventually defeated Lippi, it was difficult to cover up the luck factor in the whole process. He could hardly be called a famous coach, let alone the title of the Champions League semi-finals."

"A member of the Juventus coaching staff told reporters after the game that after winning the game, Ye Qiu walked to the home team coaching bench very ungraciously and provoked Lippi, thinking that he had won the game. This caused the indignation of the Juventus coaching staff. This is also the most ungracious move we have ever seen."

For the accusations and criticisms from the Republic, the local Dutch media also responded one after another.

In recent years, Ajax can be said to have become a banner of Dutch football in European football. Ye Qiu has also become a well-known head coach in the Netherlands with his coaching achievements and his own charm. In addition, he is young and handsome, making him the darling of the Dutch media. How can the media of other countries criticize him so much?

The Dutch media counterattacked, and the Italian media counterattacked again. For a time, the two sides fought fiercely, from print media newspapers to the Internet, and finally even the fans of the two countries joined in the fight, and the entire European football world suddenly became very lively.

Eliza Moon couldn't understand it no matter how hard she thought, "Why does that Republic newspaper hate you so much?"

Ye Qiu was also helpless about this, shrugged his shoulders, "In front of my magnanimity, they seem very petty."

There is a saying that a gentleman shoots balls and a villain hides penises. I am open and aboveboard, who am I afraid of?

"I don't believe you!" Eliza laughed and scolded immediately. Doesn't she know Ye Qiu?

But in her opinion, this is an opportunity, and it would be better if it could be bigger, so that Ye Qiu's influence can be further expanded, and even let him jump from a famous Dutch coach to a famous European coach, laying a certain foundation for influence.

Some people have excellent coaching results, but their influence is not great, while some people have inferior coaching results, but their influence is very great. In the end, the former are not good at using the media, while the latter are better at creating momentum.

It is difficult to say which one is better, but in Eliza's opinion, there is nothing wrong with being good at creating momentum. Of course, if you want to win the respect of others, you still have to have excellent coaching results. This is the foundation for gaining a foothold in the football world, otherwise there is no momentum to create.

With Ye Qiu's current coaching results, as long as he creates momentum, his influence will immediately increase by leaps and bounds.

However, Eliza knows Ye Qiu very well. According to her understanding, at this time, as long as Ye Qiu stands up and scolds a few words, he will immediately become the darling of the media around the world, and his popularity will soar. But Ye Qiu can't do this now, so she can only rely on her agent to find a way.

"By the way, there was a man from Barcelona before, named... Evariste Mutra, who said he could meet you on behalf of one of the candidates who aspires to run for the presidency of Barcelona."

"Evariste Mutra?" Ye Qiu frowned, "Who?"

"One of the vice presidents of Barcelona in the early years of Núñez. After Gaspart came to power, he left the core management of Barcelona, ​​but it is unclear who he represents now." Eliza has obviously done some research on this.

At present, everyone knows that Barcelona will start the election of the new president in the summer, and the public participation in the election will be in early June. Now all parties interested in running for the election are secretly gearing up, and are also preparing various campaign chips.

Among all the campaign chips, Ye Qiu and Guardiola have been widely rumored.

During the four years that Ye Qiu coached Ajax, his performance has been rising steadily, especially in the past two years. The team has shown very strong competitiveness in the Champions League, and offensive football is also in line with the taste of La Liga fans. Cruyff praised Ye Qiu and believed that he would be the most suitable candidate for Barcelona's head coach.

Because of Cruyff's support, many media speculated that Ye Qiu would become a campaign chip for the new presidential candidate.

As for Guardiola, this former Barcelona hero re-entered the management of Camp Nou, which is also what countless Barcelona fans want to see. Whether it can be done depends not only on the candidates' connections, but also on whether they can be elected. If Ye Qiu remembers correctly, it seems that Laporta and a man named Basat were in the final election.

However, I don't know who this Evariste Mutra is?

"Have you ever thought about going to Barcelona?" Eliza saw Ye Qiu pondering and asked with a smile.

Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him showing a concerned look, Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile, "I said no, do you believe it?"

Who doesn't want to coach a big club?

Ye Qiu is confident enough. No matter which team he goes to, as long as the team can form a team according to his wishes and manage according to his ideas, he believes that he can succeed?

Many people say that the big clubs are as deep as the sea, and Ye Qiu has never been afraid.

When he went to Barcelona, ​​he suppressed those who didn't obey him, and if they didn't obey him again, they would get out of here. What about big stars? What I don't lack the most is big stars. Whoever doesn't obey him, get out of here!

Of course, according to Ye Qiu's career plan, he thinks he should first go to the mid-stream teams in the four major leagues to gain experience. At present, there are also several teams in the four major leagues paying attention to him, but he has no other ideas for the time being. After all, the most important thing for him now is to lead Ajax to continue to walk on the Champions League.

What's more, he doesn't know who this Evariste Mutra represents at all.

"How about I help you find the way?" Eliza asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

…………

…………

Three hours later, Eliza met Evariste Mutla at the InterContinental Hotel in Amsterdam.

From the fact that this Spaniard could directly stay in the most luxurious five-star hotel in Amsterdam, it is not difficult to see that he is definitely a rich man, and those who can serve as vice presidents in membership teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona are generally local rich people.

"Hello, Mr. Mutla, I am Mr. Ye Qiu's agent." Eliza looked at the Spanish middle-aged man in front of her. She always felt a little uncomfortable. Since she entered the door, the other party had been wandering around her with a very unfriendly look, which made her feel a little annoyed.

"Agent? Doesn't he have time?" Mutla faced Eliza, but his eyes were fixed on her.

Women who know how to dress are often very good at highlighting their most beautiful parts. Eliza is undoubtedly one of the best. But women are like this. When they meet someone they like, they want you to look at her a few more times, and they want you to see the difference of even a hair on her body.

But if you meet someone you don’t like, she will feel uncomfortable if you look at her more.

But Mutla left a bad impression on Eliza at first sight. She thought he was a very rich man, but she was not a woman who specialized in fishing for a rich man.

"Mr. Ye Qiu is busy preparing for the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals. You know, the opponent is Juventus. He..."

Mutla waved his hand and interrupted Eliza, "I know very well and can understand. Let's not rush to talk about him."

Eliza was a little surprised. What does this mean?

But before she could react, Mutla changed his eyes and stared at her lustfully. He swore that this was the most charming woman he had ever seen in his life, and she was dressed very tastefully. Unlike some secular women who were beautiful but dressed vulgarly, she had a unique temperament and taste.

"Your name is Eliza?" Mutla asked with a smile, "I heard that you have been in Amsterdam. Have you considered coming to Barcelona? I can help you. You know, it is not easy for an agent to get into Barcelona without interpersonal relationships."

Eliza felt his ill intentions, put away the handbag beside her, and stood up directly, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

As soon as the woman stood up, she showed a pair of slender and well-proportioned breasts, which immediately became more unique. Those so-called supermodels were far inferior to her. It can be said that she had an angel's face and a devil's figure. Even Evariste Mutla, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but be intoxicated.

"What is your relationship with Ye Qiu?" Seeing that Eliza was about to leave, Mutla also stood up and asked.

Football has always been a man's world. Even as an agent, women are rarely seen. In the world of football, it is easy to give people the illusion that women exist only because they depend on men.

"I am his agent!" Eliza answered very seriously and affirmatively. She felt insulted.

She knew very well that Mutla's question was actually about whether there was any hidden relationship between her and Ye Qiu.

Seeing Elisa turning away, Mutla smiled and said, "Think about it. If you want to come to Spain, call me!"

From his tone, it seemed that he didn't think there was anything wrong with the meeting breaking down, nor did he think that angering Elisa would cause any trouble, because in his opinion, Barcelona was interested in a head coach who had just risen for a few years and was a little famous. How could the other party refuse?

The so-called meeting and conversation were just a formality.
