Chapter 30 Candidates

After finally defeating Eindhoven, everyone hoped for a sunny day.

But the next day, Amsterdam was still waiting for a cold winter.

Ye Qiu walked down the stairs wearing a set of Adidas training clothes issued by the club. He saw Huang Chu, who was eating breakfast in the restaurant, immediately pulled his chair when he heard his movement, and accidentally hit the plate on the table, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hi, A Chu!" Ye Qiu walked over with a smile.

Huang Chu blushed for no reason, didn't answer, just nodded, pretending to continue eating his bread.

"Hey, we still have newspapers here!" Ye Qiu said casually in surprise, picked up the Amsterdam Evening Post that Huang Chu should have bought in the morning, opened it and took a look, and was immediately shocked by the top headline of the sports edition.

"Wow, a miracle of the youth team!" Ye Qiu read out loud, "This title is a bit scary!"

But in fact, the slightly smug expression on his face has revealed the secret in his heart. This guy is obviously very happy that he is praised by the media, and he is a little proud.

"By the way, Achu, why didn't I see you after the game yesterday afternoon?" Ye Qiu asked casually while looking at the newspaper.

The second team defeated PSV Eindhoven, which is a big deal in Amsterdam. The Amsterdam Evening Post also gave high praise, especially to the coaching ability of the Chinese head coach Ye Qiu, and spared no effort to praise it. The Amsterdam Evening Post also reprinted the comments of some other professional sports newspapers.

Although the second team won by defensive counterattack, this did not weaken the weight of this game at all. Even the arrogant Eindhoven Daily published a special comment before the game, believing that PSV Eindhoven completely lost this game, but they also felt that Ye Qiu and Ajax II accounted for only half of the reasons for PSV Eindhoven's defeat, and the other half was carelessness and underestimation of the enemy.

After reading some of it, Ye Qiu realized that Huang Chu didn't answer. He looked up and saw Huang Chu's watery eyes staring at him. He immediately looked at her without any hesitation, "I say, Ah Chu, I'm asking you a question?"

"Ah!" Huang Chu's face turned red again, "I... had a class last night!"

"Class?" Ye Qiu thought this reason was too rustic. This girl was definitely not good at lying. "Having a class at night?"

"Yeah!" Huang Chu probably thought this reason was far-fetched and didn't dare to explain more.

Ye Qiu laughed and didn't care. After casually reading the newspaper, he folded it and put it back.

"Ah Chu, I have something to tell you!" Ye Qiu said while drinking milk and eating bread.

Huang Chu's hand trembled, and the milk in the cup almost shook out, "Don't say..."

"Have you guessed what I'm going to say?" Ye Qiu pretended to be surprised.

Huang Chu glared at him fiercely, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll see if I will pay attention to you in the future?"

"Fuck you, you evil girl Chu, I want to ask you, are you going back home for the Spring Festival this year?" Ye Qiu laughed, "I care about you, and you ignore me because of this?"

Huang Chu knew that she was teased, this damn bastard is like this.

"Go back!" She was a little angry.

"Oh, then I guess I won't see you for two months!" Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed with regret.

"You... go home too?" Huang Chu hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Well, of course I go back!" Ye Qiu nodded without hesitation, "You go back with me?"

"Who goes back with you?" Huang Chu blushed and glared at him fiercely, almost hitting him with his fist.

"I mean, go to my hometown to play, what do you want to do?" Ye Qiu had a look on his face that said you are really bad.

Huang Chu couldn't do anything about him on this point. Ye Qiu was a serious guy, but he was a rogue in private.

But she really didn't say anything. In the secret manual of men picking up girls, the most powerful one is the rogue magic.

"If you miss me... I mean, you want to see me... No, I mean..." Huang Chu almost got mad at himself. Why did he say so many grammatical errors?

"I know, I will come to see you when I miss you!" Ye Qiu agreed with a smile.

Huang Chu didn't refute this time and let him talk.

"By the way, where are you from?" Ye Qiu asked casually.

"Shanghai!" Huang Chu said.

"Then I can come to your house when I go back and when I come back?" Ye Qiu was happy when he heard it.

"Whatever, come if you want to!"

"Look at your reluctant look!" Ye Qiu looked like I misjudged you.

"Who is reluctant?" Huang Chu immediately explained, "Then if you want to come to see me, of course I'm happy, and I can't do anything if you don't come."

"Then do you have three guarantees?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Three guarantees? What three guarantees?" Huang Chu almost thought he had heard it wrong. It's like buying electrical appliances? Three guarantees?

"Food, accommodation, and entertainment!" Ye Qiu originally wanted to pay for prostitution, but suddenly realized and changed his mind.

"Okay, since you take care of me, three packages!" Huang Chu agreed without thinking too much.

"Sure enough, our Ah Chu is so straightforward!"

"Get lost!" Huang Chu glared at him fiercely and punched him on the arm with a pink fist, but it didn't hurt.

…………

It's December, and it's going to snow soon. Christmas is coming, and the winter break is coming.

The school is going to be on vacation, and Detokmost is naturally going to be on vacation as well.

As soon as Ye Qiu walked to Detok Most's training building, he saw that in addition to Roland and Rick Link, there were coaches and staff from other echelons in the conference room on the first floor. They were all gathered together. , talking about something.

As soon as they saw Ye Qiu coming in, a group of people immediately went crazy.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ye Qiu, come here and take a look, come on!" Roland even grabbed Ye Qiu.

After the crowd separated, Ye Qiucai suddenly discovered that the desk was piled with many different newspapers.

"Let me tell you, are you going to switch to a newsstand?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised.

"Chairman Van Praag sent it to us this morning, saying he wanted to show it to us!" Roland explained with a smile, but he pulled Ye Qiu to sit down, "Look at this newspaper, who is that person in it? ?”

Ye Qiu noticed that this was a newspaper from the Netherlands' very authoritative Common Daily. Waters and Westhoff had been scolded so badly that they gave Ye Qiu the impression that they were specifically targeting Ajax. of.

"It's me?!" He was a little unsure at first, but soon became convinced.

"Yes, you are on the front page of the Kyoto Daily!" Roland shouted with envy.

This is not easy. Kyodo Daily News, a very authoritative national newspaper in the Netherlands, is already good for being included in the section. It even put the photo on the front page. Although it is not the headline and the space it occupies is not large, it is This was enough to make Ye Qiu famous in the Netherlands and Europe overnight.

"The Ajax second team interprets the spirit of Ajax through the game!"

"The Chinese coach used magic to lead the team to defeat the Eredivisie giant PSV!"

Two reports about yesterday's game appeared on the front page. One was about the Ajax second team's game, and the other was dedicated to Ye Qiu.

After opening the page, Ye Qiu immediately started reading it carefully.

The person who wrote these two comments was Schulder Mosso, the chief reporter of the Kyoto Daily News, who had repeatedly attacked Ajax before. However, he changed his past criticism of Ajax. This time he actually criticized Ajax. Team Jax sings their praises.

In his comments covering the game, he said that although the Ajax second team adopted an extremely defensive stance, this was more because there was an insurmountable gap in strength between them and PSV. They chose They used the most correct method, but once they really got the chance, their sharp counterattacks time and time again made people feel the offensive gene in the bones of this Ajax second team, as well as their overall tenacious style.

Schulde Mosso feels that this game alone cannot tell how strong the second team is, but at least it gives people hope.

However, in reporting on Ye Qiu's comments, Schulde Mosso was full of praise for the Chinese head coach.

"We obtained information from relevant people within Ajax. This 25-year-old young man named Ye Qiu was introduced to the team by Ajax in order to reform the youth training at the beginning of the season. He graduated from Sporting Cologne in Germany. Academy, but he showed outstanding coaching ability as soon as he entered the team, and made a gamble with the current head coach of Ajax, Westerhoff!”

"The two sides tried for two months. Ye Qiu led the younger U15 to challenge the U16 led by the famous Dutch coach Westerhof. As a result, two months later, Ye Qiu's U15 slaughtered Westerhof. U16, and was promoted to the head coach of the second team by Van Praag, and Westhof was promoted to the first team as an assistant coach.”

"When we look back at Ye Qiu's journey leading the second team, it is not difficult to find that before defeating PSV, this team had already defeated another professional team, the Forward Eagles, in the Dutch Cup. Therefore, we It can be seen that there may be some chance in defeating PSV, but among the chances, there is some inevitability!”

"Here, we have received information from many different channels. Van Praag attaches great importance to and appreciates Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu's age of only 25 years old made the Ajax chairman feel a little uneasy, and finally left him in second place. The team went through the process and chose Westhoff to replace Waters.”

"However, our informant also told us that Ye Qiu was able to lead the second team to defeat PSV, which no one had ever thought of. It can be said that it greatly shocked the Ajax management and fans. , especially after seeing the mind-numbing excitement and excitement of Ajax fans on the day of the game, and the anger surrounding the Arena Stadium four days ago, they are simply two completely different attitudes. It can be seen that Ye Qiu is already in Ajax It left a deep impression on the fans.”

"Perhaps, in the near future, we will have the opportunity to see Ye Qiu appear in the eyes of fans and media again, but I believe that by then he will be sitting in the Ajax first team, and that Michels, Crew The head coaching bench has been occupied by countless famous coaches such as Yves and Van Gaal. At least, we can be very sure that he has entered Van Praag's candidate list for Ajax head coach next season, and It also occupies a very front position! ”

After reading the two reports, Ye Qiu went to look at other newspapers again and found that there were famous Dutch newspapers such as Popular Daily, Telecom, and Daily Telegraph. I believe that with the reports and attention of these newspapers, the next one or two Today, major sports newspapers in Europe will also report on this matter.

In other words, even Ye Qiu himself never thought that he would become famous because of this match with PSV!

"Brother, you deserve this!" Roland patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and said appreciatively.

Before the game, no one was optimistic about Ye Qiu and the second team, including Roland, but Ye Qiu was the only one who always had a firm belief and always maintained a heart to win. That’s why he was able to go where he is today and achieve everything he has today. God's reward for him.

After all the other colleagues had left, Rick Link sat down.

"Chairman Van Praag sent us these newspapers. Do you think there is any meaning in them?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Qiu looked at Ricklink strangely.

The latter smiled and said, "I think he wants to let you know that you are already on his candidate list for head coach next season!"

"Isn't this impossible?" Ye Qiu frowned.

"In the history of Ajax, it seems that no one who was not an Ajax player or coach has ever served as the team's head coach. Even Van Gaal spent several years in the youth team before joining the team. I’ve only been in the first team for less than a year, and I’m only 25 years old, so I don’t have the qualifications!”

After hearing this, Rick Link smiled and shook his head, "You are wrong. It is precisely because you did not stay in the youth team for a long time, so you see many problems more clearly than those of us who came from the youth team. Sometimes , Familiarity is not necessarily a good thing, but because you are not familiar with it, you can look at some things from a wider and wider platform.”

When he said this, Rick Link suddenly sighed, "Sometimes I think about it, Ajax's system has been passed down for decades. Over the past few decades, the football environment has changed, and the tactical style has changed." Things have changed, the way players are trained technically has also changed, and even society has changed. We are now in the information age of mobile phones and computers.”

"So, should some things at Ajax also change?"

Ye Qiu didn't know how to answer, but he knew very well that it was indeed necessary to change. However, for the time being, he remained silent on this topic because it was too far away for him to discuss it.

…………

Defeating PSV, Ye Qiu suddenly became a favorite of Detok Mostert, and also promoted two outstanding players, Van der Vaart and Abidal.

Nowadays, more and more people have begun to admire Ye Qiu's vision. Because the two players he selected, Huntelaar and Abidal, have won everyone's recognition, so his abilities have also been further improved. admit.

In the Godfather development system, Ye Qiu's evaluation of player potential has also increased a bit, but the most important thing is that after defeating PSV, he received a 50-point reward from the system because he completed more than one level. Challenge successful hidden missions.

Ye Qiu had a headache at this moment. He directly divided the 50 points into 30 points in tactics. After all, for him, tactics were definitely the most important part. In addition, all the rewards he got from defeating the Forward Eagle were put in In tactics, Ye Qiu's tactical attributes were directly raised to 54 points, which was the highest among all personal attributes.

In addition to tactics, Ye Qiu also used 10 of the remaining 20 points to evaluate the player's strength. The remaining 10 points were planned to be used to purchase some works of great masters to further improve himself in the field of head coaching. capabilities in all aspects.

During this period, he has learned a lot from the masterpieces of famous football coaches such as Michels, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Sacchi and Rehagel. He feels that he should read more related books like this. , which can greatly promote the improvement of his coaching ability, which will be of great benefit to his future coaching.

After defeating PSV, the Ajax second team still had a youth league game to play, but the opponent was not strong. The Ajax second team easily defeated the opponent 3:0, with Huntelaar scoring twice. , Van der Vaart scored a goal.

This game helped Ajax successfully move up a ranking. It is currently ranked second in the Youth League, 4 points behind Feyenoord, but after defeating Advance Eagle and PSV Eindhoven After that, catching up with the opponent and reversing Feyenoord is no longer an unattainable dream.

At the same time, in the Dutch Cup round of 16 knockout match, the Ajax first team was almost unexpectedly upset by Breda in the away game. In the end, they relied on Grenjaer's goal at the critical moment to equalize the score, and in the In the crucial overtime, Aviladze was the savior alone, helping Ajax defeat Breda 2:1 away from home.

Among the eight teams that finally reached the Dutch Cup, they were basically all Eredivisie teams such as Ajax, Feyenoord, Heerenveen, and Utrecht. The only non-Eredivisie team was Ajax's second team, but after the two battles between Forward Eagle and PSV, no one will dare to underestimate this second team.

In the subsequent draw, Ajax's second team avoided the first team, but was drawn by Utrecht. Ajax was more unfortunate, and was drawn by Feyenoord, and staged eight games in the Dutch Cup. The most brutal strong-power dialogue in the strong knockout round, and this game is also known as the final that is staged in advance.

For Ye Qiu and the Ajax second team, it doesn’t matter who the opponent is, because the second team is far inferior to them, but after the two games between the Forward Eagle and Eindhoven, Ye Qiu and the players from the second team also gained confidence.

At least, they dare to say that no matter who the opponent is, we dare to fight him!

After observing these games, Ye Qiu felt that the ordinary new training method had been practiced by the players. He also decided to apply the upgraded training method to the team's training after the winter break, and he was also ready to find an opportunity to buy the wall-hitting game training method.

Now, his training ability in technology, tactics and defense has reached the requirements, and it is time to further improve himself and the players.

However, all this will have to wait until after the winter break. During this period, Ye Qiu is still collecting some information about Utrecht. After all, the first game after the winter break is the Dutch Cup quarter-finals.

After finally finishing the work, De Tokmost began to usher in the longest Christmas holiday and winter break of the year.

Dear book friends, Happy Dragon Boat Festival! !
