Chapter 66: Battle of Revenge

After three training sessions a day at the beginning of the training camp, the team adjusted their physical fitness and condition very well. After playing several warm-up matches in succession, Ye Qiu adjusted the training plan to two training sessions a day. After all, this is the rhythm during the league.

Rhythm is very important for a team fighting in the league, because it can ensure the continuity of the state.

This is like a worker on an assembly line. He is used to the speed and rhythm of the assembly line, so it may seem very fast to outsiders, but he can cope with it and do it well. However, once he is interrupted and disrupted, his rhythm will be messed up and it will take some time to adjust.

The same is true for the team's league campaign!

Three training sessions a day is just a special means at the beginning of the season, and two training sessions a day is the foundation of the team.

At 19:00 in the evening, the team ended the day's training, but many players still chose to stay on the training ground.

Through a series of warm-up matches and training camps, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff have identified the strengths and weaknesses of each player in terms of skills and tactics, and helped them improve. Not only Ibrahimovic and Robben, but also Huntelaar, Van der Vaart, Sneijder and other players are receiving coaching.

The reason why Ye Qiu organized a large-scale coaching team in the first team is to carry out targeted sculpting of the players. In this regard, Ajax has a huge natural advantage because they have a large scout system and youth training talents.

Some players have problems with their ball ability, so they need to practice. For example, Huntelaar, under the leadership of Moniz, he trained for half an hour in stopping the ball, one-touch training and other aspects; while some players are without the ball, such as Van der Vaart and Sneijder, their training method is the video recording specially tailored for them by the coaching staff.

As Bobby Hams said to Abidal before, you can never learn other people's technical movements and abilities by watching videos. That is an instinct, so the only purpose of watching videos is to learn other people's abilities without the ball and improve your own abilities in this aspect accordingly.

Lucio is doing some intensive defensive training under the leadership of Blind, as are other players.

Today's Ajax is a very young team. Although there are no stars in the team, Ye Qiu has built a young, energetic and vigorous team lineup with the players of the second team last season as the team, which makes the atmosphere of mutual learning, mutual competition and not wanting to lag behind in the team very good.

Although it was already off work, Ye Qiu still accompanied the players and colleagues of the coaching staff, standing on the sidelines, watching them train, and he began to understand a little bit that the advantage of young players is that they are full of expectations for the future and are willing to work hard for it.

On the contrary, players like Aaron Winter and even some big-name players have no problem with their strength and experience, but the problem is that they lack the hunger for honor and the pursuit of improving their own strength, so they are absolutely impossible to do what the young players in front of them are doing.

This also made Ye Qiu sigh in his heart. A truly strong team must not have superstars in every position, but a team with a player who is eager to become famous, eager to succeed, and eager to prove his strength in every position.

Today's Ajax is young, but full of vitality, hope, and confidence!

"I haven't seen such a scene for a long time!"

Van Praag stood silently on the periphery of the training ground and stood behind Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu turned around and saw that it was the chairman. He didn't say anything, smiled, and continued to look at the training ground illuminated by the surrounding lamp posts. He also liked this atmosphere very much. Everyone is full of pursuit and desire.

Van Praag said that it was a long time ago. The last time should be when Van Gaal coached the team. At that time, he also vigorously promoted the team's rejuvenation. However, many of the players he promoted at that time were from De Tokmost, while now Ye Qiu promotes more players from all over the world.

This is an inevitable trend, because the talents of Dutch football are far from meeting the needs of traditional giants such as Ajax.

Look at the strength of PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord in the past few years. Isn't it relying on their group of international columns?

On the contrary, Ajax, which has not done well enough in internationalization and can't keep up with the pace, has gradually failed to keep up with the pace of these two major competitors in terms of strength. Therefore, this season, some people on the board of directors raised objections to Ye Qiu's introduction of players from all over the world, but Van Praag defended it.

"Everyone will have a slack heart. When they become famous, I'm afraid this scene will be hard to see again!" Van Praag said with a sigh and emotion.

Isn't this also a true portrayal of the group of players trained by Ajax in the past few years?

“There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. Everything has two sides. Therefore, for anyone doing anything, the most terrifying thing is often not right or wrong, but hovering between right and wrong!”

When Ye Qiu said this, he turned around and smiled at the chairman he respected: "So, Mr. Van Praag, although many people question that the club's business strategy is too commercial, I think this is not a problem. The biggest problem of the club is that it wants to be commercial and humane, but in the end it is not pleasing to both ends."

Van Praag was slightly stunned. He knew that Ye Qiu must have heard some rumors in the board of directors and some doubts about him from the outside world, so he said this consolation, but after thinking about it carefully, it was the case.

Are there no successful ones who have been completely commercialized? Manchester United is the best example!

And there are more examples of successful teams that have been tied up by human relationships.

In other words, whether it is commercialization or humanization, it is not a problem. The biggest problem is that it is not pleasing to both ends.

"Sometimes I have to think about it when talking to you!" Van Praag laughed.

Ye Qiu smiled. He has never been a person who likes to talk a lot. He likes to do things.

"Do your best. No matter what, I believe in you and support you!" Van Praag watched from the sidelines for a while, patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder, and encouraged him, because the next thing to face is PSV Eindhoven, the team's biggest pain in recent years.

As soon as Van Praag left, Huang Chu arrived.

The pretty beauty wore a loose T-shirt and a pair of tight jeans that set off her long and beautiful legs to the fullest. She stood beside Ye Qiu, and immediately a refreshing fragrance covered up the sweat odor from the training ground, as if it had become the only moving color in this dark world.

Ye Qiu turned his head to look at her and found that she had tied a ponytail today, which completely showed her beautiful face. He couldn't help but think, "How do you know I like girls with ponytails?" Huang Chu had just stood beside him. When he heard this, he almost tripped and fell. His face was burning, but he was happy in his heart, because he noticed it carefully because he changed his hairstyle a little bit. "Will you die if you don't tease me?" Huang Chu suppressed his feelings and glared at him with dissatisfaction. "Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded seriously, but then he said, "If one day you find that I don't tease you anymore, I must be dead!" Is this still considered teasing? It seems to have become a confession, right? But in such a public place, such a secret place, it sounds awkward to say such a private secret? Huang Chu sometimes couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking, but she was still very pleased to hear these touching love words in her heart. She felt satisfied and sweet, but on the surface, she wanted to cut him into pieces with her eyes.

"Zlatan has been working hard recently!" Feeling that the atmosphere was a little ambiguous and awkward, Huang Chu quickly changed the subject.

Her pink face was not as thick as someone else's.

"Of course, I've invested a lot of money!" Ye Qiu smiled and told Huang Chu about the bet. He had no secrets from Huang Chu. Basically, except for some extremely personal things, he would tell Huang Chu.

His profession was high-pressure and high-risk, so he was destined to have many things to talk to.

"You, if you can't help him at that time, he will make a fuss about free transfer, what should you do?" Huang Chu laughed and scolded unhappily.

Although, in normal times, Ye Qiu didn't seem to be the kind of person who cared about the head but not the butt, but this time he miscalculated a little.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I agreed, but the decision is not in my hands. I can't control it!" Ye Qiu simply cheated.

Huang Chu saw him like this and chuckled and scolded: "You are so bad!"

Ye Qiu smiled, but he had to admit in his heart that perhaps many fans in his previous life would think that Ibrahimovic was ruthless and a showman who showed his feelings every time he went to a club, but everyone must admit that he is a very motivated, smart and hardworking player.

No player's success is fluke, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic in front of him.

Most of the special training programs formulated by Van Basten and Mullensteen are simple, even boring basic actions, such as the most basic shooting skills, etc., and then through repeated practice, training over and over again.

These technical moves are so familiar to Ibrahimovic that he usually rejects and even despises them. But because he made a bet with Ye Qiu and it was arranged by the coaching staff, he did it and practiced it over and over again.

In football, no one is born a genius. Even as strong as Ronaldo, acquired efforts and training are the key to his becoming a superstar. And Ibrahimovic in front of him made Ye Qiu believe it.

…………

Gretz doesn't like to go to the executive office of the Philips Stadium.

Club chairman Harry van Herre is a good person. What really makes Gretz a little afraid of this place is the club's general manager, Frank Arnesen, a man who always gives people a sinister impression. He is also the head of Eindhoven and the number one powerful person who holds the power of life and death.

This season's PSV Eindhoven and last season have not changed much. After all, the lineup is already strong enough. Gretz only asked for the introduction of a central defender when Faber was not young, and Arnesen brought him Hovland, which gave Gretz the final piece of the puzzle for the defense in his mind.

At first, some people called Cocu, Stam and Zenden the five tiger players of Eindhoven. Now, Gretz calls Bouma, Oyer, Hovland and Van Bommel the five players of Eindhoven. Wen's new top five players are ambitious in wanting to make a mark in the European arena while continuing to dominate the Dutch arena.

The only regrettable thing is Ruud van Nistelrooy's injury, which directly caused him to miss the European Cup and will also miss some games in the early part of this season. However, the club is full of talents on the front line. Although the 33-year-old veteran Nilis left Aston Villa in the Premier League, but PSV introduced Kežman and Ramsey from Willem II, and the striker strength has not been weakened.

The league is about to resume the war. As a warm-up show for the Eredivisie, the Cruyff Cup will also officially start at the Arena Stadium in Amsterdam the day after tomorrow. What is interesting is that this time, PSV will Encountered Ajax led by Ye Qiu.

Gretz has never forgotten the humiliation brought about by that game last season. Today, PSV is even more powerful. He is determined to win the trip to Amsterdam two days later and vows to win before the snow comes. shame.

Entering Arnesen's office, Graetz noticed the Dane sitting behind the desk.

"Eric, how is Van Nistelrooy's situation?" Arneson's voice was a bit sharp, and it sounded acrimonious.

"Preliminary estimates are that the injury will continue in the first three months of the season!" Perhaps after finishing speaking, seeing Arneson looking a little unhappy, Gretz added: "But we now have Brookink and Kai on the front line. Zman, Kolka, Romedal and Ramzi can also play forward, so it won’t have a big impact on us.”

Last season he lost to the second team of Ajax in the Dutch Cup. After coming back, he was scolded by the management. In the end, he retained his position as coach through Arnesen. Youdao is short-handed. Now he is against Arneson had no choice but to obey.

"What about the game against Ajax two days later?" Arnesen asked again, his sharp voice filled with a chill, which was filled with hatred.

He has always regarded himself as the hero of Eindhoven's revitalization, and he is also a well-known figure in the Dutch football circle. However, in that game last season, he was provoked and humiliated in front of a little-known brat. This is a humiliation that he has never experienced in all the years since his debut, and he will not forget it.

"Don't worry, the overall structure of the team remains unchanged, some positions have been strengthened, and it is at the Arena Stadium with a better environment. This time we will definitely be able to avenge our shame."

Last season's upset loss to the Ajax second team. Among the reasons stated by Gretz, the poor venue and environment of the Ajax second team was a very important reason. But now, at the Arena Stadium , coupled with the fact that his team has stronger players and stronger horses this season, he is absolutely confident that he can win that young team.

No matter how outstanding Ye Qiu's team is, it will take two years to achieve combat effectiveness. However, this season's goal for PSV is no longer the Eredivisie, nor the Netherlands. What Gretz and PSV are aiming for is European arena.

"Losing to a weak opponent once would be an upset, but losing to him twice would be a shame, an unforgivable shame!" Arnesen's tone was not serious, and his speed was not fast. It was a bit contemptuous, but it was very weighty. .

"I know how to do it!" Gretz nodded in agreement.

Arnesen gritted his teeth and stared at Gretz, "This time we must completely wash away the shame of last season. Not only must we win, but we must also beat that bastard and his Ajax like a bitch." Lie down in front of us!"

Gretz was a little horrified because he didn't know that Arneson's hatred for Ye Qiu had reached such an extent that he could even feel that Arneson wished he could completely drive Ye Qiu away.

Of course, football is not a vendetta, and football clubs are not gangsters. Arnesen's anger can only be solved through the transfer market, through games on the field, and using football to solve his opponents.

Watching Gretz leave, Arnesen stared at his back and laughed. In fact, he was quite optimistic about the Belgian because he was well-informed, obedient, and under control, and would not disagree with him on club decisions. .

Just like this summer, he was originally going to send Ruud van Nistelrooy to Manchester United and Nilis to Aston Villa. Although Gretz was not happy about the departure of the two top strikers, he was He followed orders, but Ruud van Nistelrooy was injured and missed Manchester United, but Neelis went to Aston Villa.

There are not many head coaches in today's football world who are so obedient and have good coaching abilities.

"Ye Qiu, I must see how you die!"

Graetz couldn't hear the sinister words in the office, but when he walked out of Arnesen's office, he felt a cold sweat on his back. He knew very well that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Eindhoven, he could not do without Arnesen. Nathan's support, so for the next game, he must win.

This is not only for Arnesen, but also for his own future in PSV, and even more for the hatred in his heart. He also always keeps in mind the upset last year.

That match completely interrupted PSV's excellent form, dealt a heavy blow to PSV's morale, and also caused Gretz's overall plan to fail, and he only won the Eredivisie championship in the end.

Now, he wants to return this shame, this humiliation, a hundred times a thousand times to Ye Qiu!
