Chapter 74 The Dignity of Being a Head Coach

The moment he walked out of the conference room, Ye Qiu suddenly felt happy.

He suddenly felt as if the boulder that had been weighing on his heart had been lifted, and his whole body became relaxed and natural.

Ever since he coached Ajax, his nerves have always been tense. He is worried about the team's results anytime and anywhere, what the management will think of him, and whether he will be fired. Will get out of class be over?

All the worries, all the worries, bound his hands and feet, tied up his whole body, making him feel unable to move and breathless. But now, this feeling has disappeared with the vent just now. .

He no longer needs to worry, because he knows very well that the directors have long been planning to fire him, so he can only fight with his back to the wall, there is no retreat, no way out, no choice.

Playing in the Dutch Cup last season, he achieved what he achieved without any choice. Now, he has once again returned to the state of having no choice and no need to worry, because he is free, as long as the league championship is not final yet To confirm his ownership, as long as Ajax still has a theoretical possibility of winning the championship, he will not dismiss get out of class.

"Huh~" Ye Qiu took a deep breath, turned his sore neck vigorously, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in front of him, and smiled, "The feeling of freedom is so damn good!"

Haha~ There was a burst of laughter from behind!

Ye Qiu turned around and saw that it was Leo Benhak!

Regarding this old fox, Ye Qiu could never figure out his thoughts and ideas. It was as if he initially cooperated with Westhoff to suppress him, and then got close to him to suppress Waters. He always left a bad impression on Ye Qiu. Okay, but this season, he gave up all his power uncharacteristically, which was a bit confusing to Ye Qiu.

But what made him even more confused was that Leo Benhak had just supported him and supported him with his work. What happened?

Perhaps seeing the confusion in Ye Qiu's eyes, Leo Benhak was cunning and cunning, so he could certainly understand. He walked to Ye Qiu's side with a smile and asked, "Are you wondering why I helped you? "

Ye Qiu nodded, "It's indeed strange, because I always feel that you should hate me."

"Hate you? Why?" Leo Benhak asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu thought for a while, but did not say anything. He could only shake his head, because he felt that Leo Benhak did not want to mention Westerhof.

Seeing him like this, Leo Benhak laughed and said, "I really saw you right!"

"What do you mean?" Ye Qiu became more and more confused.

Leo Benhak looked at the sun in the distance and sighed, "You are a kind-hearted person without any scheming!"

Ye Qiu was stunned, Leo Benhak was using scheming, not scheming.

Scheming is more about protecting oneself, while scheming is about calculating others on the basis of protecting oneself.

"Do you think that since I support Westerhoff, I should hate you after you replace Westerhoff?" Leo Benhak said what Ye Qiu did not say.

Ye Qiu was a little embarrassed and nodded without denying it.

"Then you are wrong!" Leo Benhak looked at Ye Qiu, "You have to understand that I am the technical director of Ajax. I am responsible for this club, not for a certain person. My purpose in coming to Ajax is to use my abilities and level to help this club.”

After saying this, Leo Benhak looked forward again, "Perhaps last season, I left you with the impression that I was fighting for power, but what I want to tell you is that this is me helping Aja A way for Ajax because I know better than anyone what Waters will bring to Ajax once he takes all the power."

Ye Qiu was silent, because he had never thought that Leo Benhak still had such thoughts in his heart.

"I made a mistake, because I was relatively more optimistic about Westerhoff, but what I didn't expect was that Westerhoff would inevitably make those stupid mistakes in the end, but it was you who silently Leading the second team to defeat one opponent after another without a break, this was the biggest mistake I ever made.”

After hearing this, Ye Qiu had a completely new outlook on Leo Benhak, because he found that he had thought of a person too simply, either black or white, and viewed problems too simply.

"Being a head coach will inevitably involve fighting for power. Do you think that without any reason or power, those players will obey you obediently? Or, do you think that if you don't fight, those who have vested interests in power will Will you take the initiative to hand over your power? Don’t be stupid, you have to fight for it!”

Leo Benhak has very rich coaching experience. From Ajax in the Eredivisie to Real Madrid, when he was coaching, Ye Qiu was still wearing crotchless pants, so his views on coaching, Ye Qiu There is no way to refute it.

"You are scheming, but not scheming. You have a very tenacious character and refuse to admit defeat. You have the vigor of a young man, but you are also perseverant enough. Your character is very suitable for being a head coach. But the problem is, if you don't fight, you don't go. If you plot against others, others will plot against you!"

Ye Qiu couldn't help but agree with what Leo Benhak said. From Westhoff to Waters last year, to the current board of directors, his status has been improved and his power has become greater. He can There are still many people criticizing Ye Qiu. In the final analysis, this is due to Ye Qiu's lack of status and influence. But is it not because Ye Qiu is not strong enough?

Just like just now, when he was strong enough, the directors began to be timid, because they are also guys who want to be bitches and build a memorial at the same time. They are also afraid of being accused by the fans of meddling in club affairs. , a hat that disrupted the order and operation of the club and became a sinner despised by fans.

"Whether it's the players or the management, we have to fight for it based on reason. If it's ours, we have to fight for it. If it's not ours, we have to ensure our position and influence."

Leo Benhak's words, to put it in layman's terms, are that within the scope of my power, I have the final say, and what others say does not count, but outside the scope of my power, I have the final say. It doesn’t necessarily count, but what others say doesn’t count if I don’t agree with it.

"This road is still long, take your time, you still have a lot to learn!" Leo Benhak chuckled when he saw Ye Qiu's thoughtful expression, but soon sighed again, "You know why I Don’t you want to take over the position of Ajax coach?”

Ye Qiu shook his head, but he vaguely guessed something.

"Because I am tired of this life of fighting for power and profit. Sometimes I am like you, thinking, how great would it be if I could coach a simple, harmonious team without fighting for power? But this is possible ?"

Ye Qiu knew that this was impossible. Even in Ajax, which had become completely younger, the struggle for power still existed, such as the competition between Huntelaar and Ibrahimovic for the main position, Van der Meyde and Van der Vaart. The competition with Robben, isn't this just another form of power struggle?

"It took me many years to understand a truth, and your performance just now makes me more convinced that choosing you is the right decision. Do you want to hear it?" Leo Benhak's tone was mixed with Ye Qiu's performance just now. of appreciation.

Ye Qiu smiled, nodded, and said nothing.

"I think, whether as a person or as a head coach, we all need to stick to our bottom line and firmly defend our core interests and principles. We cannot make endless concessions because we cannot lose the most basic thing, our identity. The dignity and pride of a football coach!”

Leo Benhak patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder, "There are many colleagues who keep tolerating and making concessions for the sake of performance, work, and environment. In the end, they don't even know what they have become. He exists like a zombie, like a puppet, so even if his team wins all the championships, is there any glory to speak of? "

Ye Qiu fell silent because what Leo Benhak said to him touched him too much and completely changed his view of this person.

"My current core interests and principles are to protect Ajax. I hope that during my tenure, I can leave even a little bit of something good and helpful to this traditional team. That’s why I help you!”

After saying that, Leo Benhak walked to the parking lot. He obviously had no intention of going back to the office. He probably didn't want to meet that group of board members again.

Ye Qiu stood at the intersection of Arena Stadium and Detok Most, staring blankly at the back of Leo Benhak. He felt that this old man used to have a slight stoop, but now he was suddenly taller. many.

His core interest is Ajax, so when members of the board of directors wanted to touch Ajax's interests and intervene in the core competitive field of the team, he did not hesitate to take action and chose to support Ye Qiu. , even at the expense of his future in Ajax.

Perhaps, many, many years later, when anyone mentions Leo Benhak, they will not remember what he left for Ajax, but at least, in Ye Qiu's heart, no matter how many years later, Recalling everything he did at Ajax, he will definitely remember that there was once a man named Leo Benhak who was safeguarding the interests of Ajax.

Neither Ye Qiu nor Leo Benhak saw it. Not far behind them, club chairman Van Praag heard their entire conversation. This made Van Praag, who was originally frustrated, suddenly It was as if I had found my goal again.

Not for himself, but for Ajax!

…………

…………

Returning to Detok Most, after passing the coach's office, Ye Qiu saw that all the first team coaches had arrived, and even some of the youth team coaches of Detok Most had arrived. They had obviously heard some rumors. .

Perhaps some of them came with gloating, some with concern, and some just to satisfy their own gossip spirit, but it is undeniable that they are all Ajax now The backbone of the training base.

Thinking of Leo Benhak's words, Ye Qiu took a deep breath and smiled confidently.

"Here comes the nightmare for those who want to kick me out of Ajax!"

After listening to the people who cared about Ye Qiu, everyone understood what was going on, and they all laughed. Some people were worried, but most of them looked indifferent, but also because Ye Qiu is happy to have overcome the crisis.

Anyone who really cares about Ajax wants to see the team change its coach in less than two or three months? Aren’t the profound lessons brought by the frequent coaching changes and turmoil over the years not enough?

After returning to his office, Ye Qiu sat down on the office chair and closed his eyes. Leo Benhak's words just now kept echoing in his mind, which also woke him up.

There is a saying that goes like this: People don’t hurt tigers, but tigers eat people’s hearts.

He doesn't like fighting for power, but that doesn't mean others won't provoke him because of this.

To put an end to this kind of harassment, the best and most effective way is undoubtedly to let those people know that he is not easy to mess with once and for all, and to teach them a profound lesson so that they will not dare to do it again from now on.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu had a general idea in his mind.

He has no scheming, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have tactics.

Knock knock!

"Come in!" Ye Qiu opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile when he saw Huang Chu who opened the door and came in.

He has more and more troubles and smiles less and less, but as long as he sees Huang Chu, he will laugh, keep laughing, and feel comfortable. This is a phenomenon that is difficult to explain, or it can be explained For the secret love plot.

"How's it going? What did they say?" Huang Chu came to Ye Qiu's desk with concern.

Wearing a white coat, she couldn't hide her exquisite figure, especially the tight jeans on her lower body, which completely outlined her perfect curves, making people discover new beauty in her body with every glance.

"You didn't say much. You wanted to teach me a lesson, but I taught you a lesson in return!" Ye Qiu said with a chuckle.

Huang Chu gave him a sideways look. She knew that Ye Qiu didn't tell the truth because he didn't want her to worry about him.

She could imagine that Ye Qiu must have encountered a lot of trouble at the meeting, because there were already rumors on Detok Most's side that the first team was going to change its coach, just like the rumors last season that Walter would be replaced. It's the same, it sounds like it's true.

Seeing her like this, Ye Qiu smiled again, deliberately shrugged his shoulders on both sides, and said, "It's over. I don't know if it's because of my age. These shoulders are always sore. Is it okay?" Could it be frozen shoulder? Ah Chu, come on, give me a squeeze!"

If it were normal times, Huang Chu would have waved her pink fist viciously. Even if she didn't punch him a few times, she would at least demonstrate to defend her majesty. But this time, for some reason, she didn't do that. Instead, he obediently walked around the desk and came behind Ye Qiu.

Slender hands gently pinched Ye Qiu's shoulders, surrounded by the touching fragrance emanating from the beauty. This made Ye Qiu feel so comfortable that he wanted to scream, and finally just leaned on the office chair. I closed my eyes and enjoyed it.

Huang Chu's massage was very jerky, and Ye Qiu's shoulders were very hard, so he had to press them very hard, and it didn't take long for him to feel a little breathless.

"Look at how you're enjoying it!" Seeing him closing his eyes and enjoying it, Huang Chu couldn't help but laugh and curse, but he didn't stop holding his hands.

Ye Qiu grinned and squinted his eyes with a very interesting expression, which made Huang Chu smile again.

"Ah Chu, your skills are comparable to those of a blind massager!" Ye Qiu praised.

Huang Chu scratched the itch on his shoulder hard, causing Ye Qiu to laugh and struggle, "I just like to talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, the craftsmanship is really good!"

"I haven't learned anything, nor have I pressed it before. I just press it randomly!"

Ye Qiu chuckled, "It's just because I haven't learned it or massaged it before that it's precious! If you ask me, even a blind person can't massage you as well as you. You are the best and most powerful masseur in the world!"

After hearing this, Huang Chu felt sweet in his heart. His eyes were watery, as if they were about to ooze water. He was obviously moved.

"If you like it...I'll press it for you every day from now on!"

"Really?" Ye Qiu opened his eyes suddenly, reached out and grabbed Huang Chu's hand on his shoulder.

This was not the first time he held these hands, but every time he held these soft and white hands, it brought him inexplicable touch and satisfaction, because these hands belonged to the person he loved.

Just when Huang Chu was about to nod and answer, there was a knock on the office door.

As if he were a thief, Huang Chu withdrew his hand from Ye Qiu's hand and walked back quickly. His pink face was as red as if it was covered with rouge. Not to mention how touching the person is.

"Damn it, who's going to ruin my good deeds!" Ye Qiu's expression looked like that of Tian Boguang, a lone traveler who had attempted rape.

Seeing this guy winking, Huang Chu couldn't help but chuckle. When he was with him, he always felt happy in his heart.

Roland came in. This guy was very unconscious. When he came in, he saw Huang Chu sitting on the sofa and Ye Qiu sitting far behind the desk. He also made a little joke, "Are you arguing?"

Ye Qiu wanted to tear this guy who was getting fatter and fatter in half. My good deed almost happened. Do you think it was a quarrel?

But in the end, Ye Qiu still held back.

"What's the matter?" The tone was very unfriendly.

Roland didn't care either. "Moniz and Mullensdin proposed some small adjustments to the afternoon training session. Take a look!" He handed over a document and report.

Ye Qiu secretly cursed that such a trivial matter would interfere with my good deeds. He looked so angry that Huang Chu laughed again behind Roland. This girl even made a face at Ye Qiu in a very rare and playful way. Fascinating to the extreme.

"You guys just need to make decisions on this kind of thing. Why bother me with such a small matter? Let's go!" Ye Qiu handed the document back.

Roland took it and looked at Ye Qiu with concern, "What's wrong with you? Did the board of directors put pressure on you?"

Ye Qiu thought, why don't you leave?

"Did you have a fight with Huang Chu?"

Huang Chu saw Roland looking at him and shook his head vigorously, his face flushed.

Roland thought Huang Chu was anxious, so it didn't look like a fight, but what was going on with Ye Qiu's murderous look?

"Could it be... could it be that you... that person is here?"
