Chapter 354 Do I look like a fool?

"Run, boys!"

"Pass the ball faster, don't stick to your feet!"

"Be brave, break through, and get rid of him!"

In the first-team training ground of De Torkmost in Amsterdam, a fat man was shouting with his loud voice. When he walked, his big belly was bouncing, which made people feel funny, but he looked majestic as if he was the head coach of the team giving orders.

But don't get me wrong, no matter how fat Van Basten is, he can't be as fat as him, so fat and unique.

He is Roland Schepers, a fat man who is full of lofty image in the hearts of young players in De Torkmost, because he not only followed Ye Qiu to create the legend of the youth team winning the Dutch Cup, but also helped Ye Qiu lead Ajax to win the epic treble, and later they also created glory in Chelsea.

After returning to De Tokmost, he became Van Basten's right-hand man. The latter even handed over the supervision of training to Roland, who was also knowledgeable and experienced by Ye Qiu. It was a piece of cake for him to direct the training of these boys.

Van Basten and Bobby Hams stood aside, listening to Roland's loud voice. They both wanted to laugh, but they had to admit that Roland was no longer the Roland who left Ajax. He was now capable enough to direct the training of Ajax's first team, and they were relaxed.

But at this moment, Van Basten noticed that someone was standing on the sidelines.

About 1.8 meters tall, with black hair and yellow skin, he was also looking at the training ground and laughing.

When he saw this person, Van Basten's smile froze, "It's over, the poachers are here!"

Bobby Harms was a little stunned when he heard it, but he looked over following Van Basten's gaze and found that it was Ye Qiu who came. He immediately understood something. As the saying goes, no one comes to the temple for no reason. Ye Qiu's coming to De Tokmost must be bad.

"Roland can't be kept!" Bobby Harms also shook his head and sighed. Everyone knew that Roland was a die-hard fan of Ye Qiu. When the contract was finalized, Roland also left a clause that Ye Qiu could call at any time and he would leave at any time.

Beep~~

As Roland's whistle sounded, the players on the field suddenly felt relieved. This fat man trained like he was risking his life, not allowing people to slack off or relax at all, and was very strict. He always said that training was actual combat.

"Okay, go back and rest. Tomorrow is the last game. Although we have won the championship in advance, we still have to keep working hard. We have to strive for victory in every game!" Roland cheered the players in the training ground.

The players immediately agreed in unison, because they all knew how miserable this fat guy would torture people if they didn't agree.

"Fatty!" A shout came from the sidelines.

"Everyone said don't fucking call me fat, this is not you..." Roland thought it was a club employee and was about to get angry. He hated people calling him fat the most. Although he was fat, fat people often hate people calling him fat the most.

There was only one person in the world who didn't get angry when he was called fat, and that was Ye Qiu. At this moment, the guy standing in front of him with a smile, that look and expression, don't mention how annoying it was.

"You have the guts to call me again!" Roland walked over slowly.

"Fatty!" Ye Qiu shouted directly without waiting for him to finish his words.

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard!" Roland opened his arms and hugged Ye Qiu, pounding his back with both hands. "It's been a year, you bastard. You've been so successful in the past year, and now you finally come back!"

"I'm back now, aren't I?" Ye Qiu laughed.

The Ajax players are no strangers to Ye Qiu. His photo is hung high in the Hall of Fame at the Arena Stadium and can be seen in the De Tokmost training building. In particular, several players who had played under Ye Qiu before surrounded him as soon as they saw Ye Qiu, shouting non-stop.

"Klaas, Javier, Yaya!" Ye Qiu high-fived Huntelaar, Mascherano and Yaya Toure. These three players were his former servants and are still playing for Ajax.

"Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Di Maria, Sanchez" Ye Qiu said the names of the players one by one, and he could be said to know them all. The Ajax players immediately felt cordial and honored by his actions.

Ye Qiu, this is not only the legend of Ajax, but also the top coach in European football today. It is said that all the players he likes are the top talented stars.

Let's talk about Drogba of Chelsea. Before, Ye Qiu resigned because he refused to introduce Shevchenko, but Mourinho introduced Shevchenko after taking office. However, the Ukrainian's performance in the Premier League was extremely bad. He was called the biggest water import of Chelsea. On the contrary, Drogba has repeatedly become the savior of the team.

Some people suspected that Ye Qiu was unwilling to introduce Shevchenko and reused Drogba. But now, the two players are compared together, which is very clear. Moreover, Mourinho reused Shevchenko after taking office, but the Ukrainian performed poorly. Due to the need of the team's performance, he finally chose Drogba, who was getting better and better.

After what happened this time, Ye Qiu's eyes were really...unbelievable!

"Ye Qiu!" Van Basten and Bobby Hams also came over.

"Ha, old friend, long time no see!" Ye Qiu walked over and hugged them warmly one after another.

"Your value is different now than before. I am also your fan, Master!" Van Basten took out a Zeus mobile phone from one of his pockets and teased Ye Qiu.

A group of old friends hadn't seen each other for a long time. As soon as they met, they joked with each other. It was lively all the way to Van Basten's office. During the period, some familiar coaches and club officials heard the news and rushed over.

"Are you really coming back?" Bobby Hams asked with a smile. He has always admired Ye Qiu very much. Recently, major European media have been hyping the news that Ye Qiu may coach Tottenham Hotspur. Now seeing Ye Qiu coming to Roland, they have more or less guessed it.

Ye Qiu nodded, "But this time it's not just coming back to coach."

"Oh?" Van Basten was a little surprised.

"I bought Tottenham Hotspur directly!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Oh my god!" Roland, the fat guy, jumped up first, "What did you say? You bought Tottenham Hotspur?"

Not only Roland was surprised, but everyone in the room was shocked. They couldn't imagine that Ye Qiu bought a Premier League team in a blink of an eye. He was going to be the boss and coach himself.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Announce it in a few days. I will come to you as soon as I finalize the deal!"

"No, you have to let me be the head coach at least!" Roland, the fat guy, bargained directly, but everyone could hear that he was joking. With his weight and material, he is good as an assistant, but he is really not good enough to be the head coach.

"Okay, when I form a youth team, you will be the head coach of the U9 team!" Ye Qiu also teased.

"Get lost!" Roland punched him again.

Everyone present laughed and felt the friendship between the two. They joked with each other casually without any grudges. This is a true close friend.

Van Basten looked at Ye Qiu, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I guess you came here not just for Roland this time, right? Come on, just say it!"

Ye Qiu smiled slyly, "Marco still understands me!"

"Don't flatter me, just say it!" Van Basten was in a bad mood, very bad.

"Javier Mascherano, Yaya Toure, Thiago Silva!"

Although Van Basten was mentally prepared, he was still deeply hurt by Ye Qiu. These three people are the absolute main force of Ajax. This kid is going to dig away his three big players. How can he play next season?

And the ownership of Thiago Silva is in the hands of Eliza Moon. Ajax will only get a small amount of training fees for this player's transfer. Mascherano and Yaya Toure are both midfielders. They are not weak, but the price will not be too high. Of course, even if they are given a friendly price, it will be at least tens of millions, right?

"I told Eliza that we can give up the ownership of Di Maria and Sanchez and convert it into part of the transfer fee, and I also hope to cooperate with Ajax in all aspects, especially in player training." Ye Qiu smiled and said his idea, that is, to use Ajax as a youth training base and satellite club for training players.

In the past two years, Ajax's situation has indeed been getting worse day by day. The scout system is indeed very complete, but the expenses are also very high. It is difficult for a Dutch team to maintain a large-scale scout system alone, and there are always huge risks in training young players, but Ajax cannot bear too much risk.

Regarding Ye Qiu's plan to take these four players away, Ajax did not refuse, and it can even be said that it is a bit welcome, because this will definitely bring Ajax a considerable income, but becoming Tottenham Hotspur's youth training base, this makes Ajax have to think carefully and seriously.

"Of course, the most important thing for me now is Roland and the three players. Let's talk slowly when we cooperate!" Ye Qiu smiled and said his intention.

Because of Ye Qiu's arrival, Thiago Silva came to Europe in advance, joined Ajax, and joined the Brazilian national team in advance, which made his eligibility to apply for a work permit not much of a problem. After all, Brazil is in great need of central defenders, and he was also selected for the Brazilian national team list for the 2006 World Cup.

Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to get Marcelo, but although this Brazilian left-back has been selected for the Brazilian national team many times, he is not yet qualified to apply for a work permit, and his ownership is in Ye Qiu's hands, so he doesn't need to rush and let him stay in Ajax for training.

"Can I refuse?" Van Basten looked at Ye Qiu with a bitter face.

Ye Qiu thought about it and shook his head and said, "I believe you won't hurt me like this, right?"

Regarding Ye Qiu's decision to introduce Mascherano, Yaya Toure and Thiago Silva, not only Van Basten couldn't object, even the Ajax management was powerless.

At the very least, these three players were full of expectations about playing under Ye Qiu. After negotiating with Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu finally transferred the ownership of Di Maria and Sanchez, two players who performed well in Ajax, and paid Ajax a transfer fee of 10 million euros, and directly packaged these three players.

Strictly speaking, Ajax does not suffer a disadvantage because both Di Maria and Sanchez performed very well at Ajax, and they are both young, but they have contributed a lot to the team. Ye Qiu now regards them as The ownership of the club is handed over to Ajax, plus a transfer fee of 10 million euros. This is an absolute bargain for Ajax.

However, because this transaction involves the privacy of the agent and the ownership of the players, both Ajax and Ye Qiu feel that they should maintain confidentiality and not disclose the transfer amount. If the media really asks about it, then Randomly revealing a price, a more reasonable price should be around 40 million euros.

After all, the price of center backs is indeed very high now, they are a scarce commodity!

It only took Ye Qiu one afternoon to finalize the transfer of three players. He also reached a tacit understanding with the Ajax management, and both parties decided to continue to cooperate in depth.

Eliza Moon's agency has become more and more influential in Europe, and Ye Qiu has always had a sharp vision, so Ajax also feels that cooperating with them will be completely beneficial to the club. Moreover, Ye Qiu is now very wealthy. His company in the United States alone has a market value of several billion dollars. In terms of financial resources, he is not inferior to Abramovich.

After a busy afternoon, I went to the Golden Slender Man’s restaurant in the Arena Stadium for dinner.

It had been so long since he had been here that Ye Qiu missed Jin Shouzi a little. A group of people booked a room here and ate, drank and talked slowly. Soon, Ye Qiu changed the topic to the formation of the coaching staff.

"Genk is now coaching Panathinaikos in Greece. The other side is very sincere. Not only did they offer him a high salary, they also gave him a lot of power. Moreover, this is a team that can participate in the Champions League, so. ." Roland talked about the current situation of Ye Qiu's assistants, and Tenkat was doing best.

Ye Qiu felt regret after hearing this. Tenkat was a very good assistant and helped him a lot. He was indeed his right-hand man when he was coaching Chelsea. Now that he is gone, Ye Qiu will definitely have to find another capable person. Just an assistant.

Roland is indeed able to understand Ye Qiu's thoughts, but he has shortcomings in professional abilities. Fatty Luo is good at communicating with players, and he is indeed very capable at coordinating the internal atmosphere and unity of the team, but he It is difficult to give Ye Qiu much help in football and tactics. This is his biggest weakness.

Some things can even be said to be destined. Fatty Luo is indeed relatively weak in terms of tactical literacy and sense of smell.

"France is still unemployed. I originally thought he would follow Van Gaal to coach Alkmaar. Unexpectedly, he also decided to take a good rest. I heard that Van Gaal recently wanted to invite him to work again. If you still If you want to ask him for help, you have to do it as soon as possible. It's best to call him after a while!" Roland said with some urging.

Frans Houck's ability has been fully demonstrated. Van der Sar's outstanding performance at Chelsea has proven his ability, and Ye Qiu also feels that Frans Hoque is very consistent with his tactical ideas. .

In today's football tactics, the goalkeeper is no longer a position separate from the team, but an important position closely integrated with the team's tactics, such as receiving passes, launching attacks, and directing the team. Defense, etc., these are all outstanding contributions that goalkeepers can make, and they are also what Ye Qiu wants.

Therefore, as soon as he heard what Roland said, Ye Qiu immediately decided, "Don't make any calls. I'll go to his house early tomorrow morning!"

Roland chuckled and fell silent, "Moniz and Meulensteen recently collaborated on a football school, but..." When he said this, Roland smiled disgustingly, "You too You know, in the Netherlands, Michels is the Bible, and Gufren is not very popular even now, so the business..."

Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing when he saw Fatty Luo's lifelike expressions and movements. He could also guess that it was natural for a football school with Gu Furen's scientific training as its core to have poor business.

This is not to say that Goufren's method is not popular. On the contrary, the Netherlands has gradually changed the way of youth training in the past few years, gradually favoring Goufren's method. It is just that it is not completely biased, but in Michel. On the basis of Ernst's training system, it absorbs some of the strengths and advantages of Gufurzenko's training.

This is also the youth training method of all other national football associations. No one will copy any youth training method. They are all adjusted based on their own characteristics and traditional advantages. Therefore, even if scientific training has actually entered the Netherlands, it can In name, it still failed to turn around, but it was very successful outside the Netherlands.

"If these two guys are willing to help me, I will build more football schools like this for them in the future!" Ye Qiu promised loudly, but he actually thought about it and would like to see a few more football schools like this in his homeland in the future. , see if we can dig out a few seedlings and bring them directly to Europe for training.

With Ye Qiu's current status and connections, it would not be difficult for him to introduce players to any club's youth training camp.

"By the way, where's Peter?" Ye Qiu thought of Peter Brandt, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.

When Roland heard this, he immediately became happy and said, "Go back to teach!"

"Go back to teach?" Ye Qiu felt aggrieved. His right-hand assistant was reduced to teaching. Isn't this too humiliating?

"I heard that he recently formed a research team at the University of Amsterdam, specializing in the prevention of sports injuries, and is currently lacking funding to operate it."

Ye Qiu immediately understood that this was the reason why Roland was so happy. He was trying to make a fool of himself!

Oh my god, do I look like a fool?
