Chapter 93 Who can convince me?

The West Stand of the Arenal Stadium is undoubtedly the heart of Ajax.

Behind the stands, the second and third floors are the club's administrative center, where Ajax's management works, and the Arenal Stadium's security control room and multimedia room are also arranged on the third floor of the stands. It can be said to be crucial.

In the middle of the west stand facing the stadium is the rostrum with 778 seats. In every game, Ajax chairman Van Praag will take important members of the management to sit on the rostrum to prepare for the stadium. The players who were fighting on the field cheered and cheered.

Between the first-floor stands and the second-floor stands, there is a ring of boxes and VIP rooms, a total of 47. The location and view are just right. It can be said to be an excellent place to watch Ajax games. The price is naturally the most expensive. There are no It’s really not easy for rich people to get in here to watch football.

In Amsterdam, many people are proud to hold Ajax box season tickets, which represents status and status.

Koerner is a well-known lawyer in Amsterdam, but he is not a very rich man, but this does not prevent him from entering the VIP box of the Arena Arena because he has a group of very wealthy friends. , and Korner always boasts that he represents the interests of this group of friends.

"In the entire Ajax board of directors, almost no one likes the Chinese. There is almost nothing likable about him. Whether it is character or ability, he is far from worthy of our Ajax!"

Everyone knew that Korner didn't like Ye Qiu, and he was the one who started the call for Ye Qiu to be fired.

If he hadn't been interviewed by the media and reporters frequently, I believe that such calls would have been much smaller, and Ye Qiu's pressure would not have been so great. But now, Korner seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.

This season, it will be difficult for Ajax to prevent PSV from winning the championship, unless a miracle happens!

According to Ye Qiu's original military order, if he couldn't win the league championship, he would have to leave get out of class.

"Is this on behalf of you, or on behalf of all the directors?"

Opposite Koerner is an old Dutchman. He is a famous Ajax fan in Amsterdam and an honorary member of the club. They are important members of the club's elderly fans committee. Among the Ajax fans, The group plays a decisive role.

Let’s put it this way, although many people in the Senior Fans Committee are retired, they are either senior executives of Ajax in the past, or they are rich and powerful fans in the early years, or they have been loyal to the club for decades. Loyal fans, so they have a lot of weight among Ajax fans.

Scheufat's words were very sharp, which made Korner a little embarrassed. After smiling, he said: "I believe that most directors do not trust him, don't they?"

After all, he is a lawyer, with good eloquence, and knows how to change concepts secretly and avoid the important and the trivial.

"Chairman Van Praag is undoubtedly a great president, but he is no longer keeping up with the times. We are Ajax with a glorious history. Why should we hand over such great power of the club to a person who is not even ours?" It can be said that it is in the hands of unfamiliar and unqualified Chinese people, why should he deserve it?”

It has to be said that what Koerner said did speak to the aspirations of the vast majority of directors.

Ye Qiu lacked qualifications, but Van Praag entrusted him with important tasks. This must have made many people unhappy, because Waters's mistakes were right in front of them, so why did Van Praag continue to take risks?

People who don’t know Dutch football won’t know how extensive Ajax’s connections and status are in the Netherlands.

Take a look at the current Dutch head coaches. Van Gaal came from Ajax, Advocaat was Michels’ assistant back then, Adriance was Van Gaal’s assistant back then, and Ronald Koeman was at Witt. Stan is doing a great job, and former club stars such as Van Basten, Blind, and Rijkaard have all begun coaching now.

Looking at the entire Netherlands, at least half of the football celebrities are related to Ajax. This is the real reason why Ajax plays a decisive role in the history of Dutch football.

But now, this club is in the hands of a Chinese who has no qualifications and only won a Dutch Cup for the club. It would be a lie to say that the directors are unhappy, have no worries, and have no doubts. Erner took advantage of their psychology.

"I have received the news that Advocaat will leave the head coach position of Rangers at the end of this season. Adriance is not doing well at Willem II. Ronald Koeman is ready to take over anytime and anywhere. Ajax, even Van Basten, Blind and Rijkaard, I believe they are ready!"

Koerner looked at the members of the Ajax Senior Fans Committee in front of him, encouraged his eloquent words, and prepared to persuade them to agree to the next series of actions of the directors headed by himself, even including The board of directors was forced to go to the palace.

"What we need is pure Ajax, we need more people who understand and are familiar with the history of Ajax to represent the club, and I believe that Advocaat, Adrian Se and even Louis van Gaal , they are the most suitable candidates. As for the Chinese, let him go to hell!"

Koerner pointed into the distance through the large glass window of the box, obviously pointing at Ye Qiu in front of the home team's coaching bench below the home court, but this was only his first step, and the rest would come one after another.

After hearing what Koerner said, several directors began to respond one after another. They spent money to buy Ajax stocks, but they may not understand football, but they knew one thing very clearly. Regardless of whether it was Adriance, Koeman or Advocaat, any one of them would make them feel more respectable than Ye Qiu.

Although, in the past year, the number of discussions about the Chinese in Dutch newspapers and on various occasions in Amsterdam has been increasing rapidly, they still feel that the Chinese are not worthy of being in charge of Ajax!

Several members of the elderly fans committee looked at each other, and all of a sudden they all looked at Scheufat and the other person sitting next to him, Andre Kraan.

The latter is a former senior executive of Ajax. He was once the chairman of the board of directors and director of management of Ajax. He was Van Praag's right-hand man. After his retirement two years ago, he became the chairman of the Ajax Senior Fans Committee. President.

At this time, everyone looked at him, and Andre Kraan laughed.

This made Korner think that Klaan was supporting him, and he immediately laughed again: "I can make a joke, today's game will become another shame for us, he will not be able to bring glory to Ajax , it will only bring shame to us!”

Just as he finished speaking, the entire Arenal Stadium suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling window of the box, I saw all the Ajax fans rushing out of their seats and cheering loudly. The entire Arenal Stadium was like an angry sea, filled with deafening cheers everywhere. Cheers.

"The ball has been scored!!!" came the hoarse voice of the on-site commentator on the radio.

“With Arjen Robben’s solo shot, Ajax took the lead in breaking through the opponent’s goal!!!”

"Let's take another look at this wonderful goal, an overhead pass from Sneijder!!!"

"Yes, this is a very beautiful teamwork, but we must also clearly see that after the head coach Ye Qiu's offensive failure at the beginning, he decisively made adjustments to slow down the offensive and focus on attacking the right wing to paralyze Ai. Due to Eindhoven's defense, a quick counterattack from the left suddenly occurred, and PSV was caught off guard! "

"It was a very beautiful, very targeted attack and let's congratulate Arjen Robben, who will be our hero at Ajax if we end up overturning PSV this season. It will definitely go down in Ajax’s history, because it gives us hope of winning the league title again!”

Amidst the infectious shouts on the radio, everyone in the box rushed out of their seats and raised their arms high. Even this group of elderly fans in their seventies and eighties were all blushing and seemed to say no. Out of excitement, shouting Ajax's name.

This is football, regardless of men and women, young or old, rich or poor!

Only Korner stood there stupidly. He was saying just now that Ye Qiu would definitely lose and that this game would be a shame for Ajax. But in the blink of an eye, Ajax scored. , which made him feel as if his face had been slapped hard by Ye Qiu, which made it red and swollen without stopping.

If it had been anyone else, he would have wanted to find a hole in the ground and burrow down there, but he was a lawyer, so he had a good talk and a thick skin, so he just smiled and pretended to applaud.

"In the end, it was the direct descendants of Ajax who saved the team!"

He emphasized the direct lineage of Ajax, but Ye Qiu obviously did not belong to this category.

Of course Sihufat knew his wishful thinking. They were all smart people. They were so old. What troubles and tricks had they never seen before? It's just that sometimes, they are also weighing some things.

"Robben was brought to Ajax by Ye Qiu, so he can't be regarded as a direct descendant!" Scheufat smiled and uncovered Korner's scar. His biggest problem was that he didn't understand football, but he himself seemed to Don't understand any of this.

Korner smiled awkwardly, but he didn't understand the problem.

"Advocaat is very good, but he is not young and a bit stubborn. Rangers have performed poorly this season. The Scottish Premiership championship already belongs to Celtic, and Celtic's head coach Martin O'Neill is only 49 years old. , can be regarded as a young coach, but he brought huge changes to the Celtics and defeated Advocaat with an absolute advantage. "

Andrei Kraan took over Scheufat's words, and his attitude was obviously on Van Praag's side.

"Rangers did not perform well in the European competition this season. They ranked third in the Champions League group stage and stopped in the top 32 of the UEFA Cup. But now we have reached the semi-finals. This is strange. Fire a leader who leads the team and kills A head coach who has reached the semi-finals and still has a chance to win the championship, but hires a head coach who has stopped in the top 32?”

Facing Andre Kraan's seemingly gentle but actually full of sarcastic questions, Korner could not answer.

"Let's talk about Adriance. He was indeed talented and outstanding in the first two years. However, he has never been able to make a breakthrough in European competitions. In the past two seasons, Willem II's ranking has been At around 10, Koeman is relatively good, but he was fourth last season and is currently seventh this season. This season, their UEFA Cup record only reached the second round and they were eliminated!”

When he said this, Andre Klaan stood up with a smile and glanced at Korner and the group of so-called Ajax fans around him, who were sitting there talking about professional football and their opinions on the team. He suddenly felt pathetic for the rich people who judged but mostly just exposed their ignorance of football.

"If any of you can convince me and my friends why we should fire someone who led the team in the first season, temporarily ranked second in the league, reached the UEFA Cup semi-finals, and reached the Dutch Cup If the head coach in the semi-finals invites someone with worse results than him to replace him, I believe we will seriously consider your suggestions!”

No one present, including Korner, could answer Andre Kraan's words.

"Sorry, everyone, I have watched Ajax games for decades. I still prefer to be in the open-air stands. In the box, I can't feel the slightest passion for football. I'm leaving now!"

Andrei Kraan's seemingly apologetic smile was actually to differentiate himself from Korner and others.

But he had just taken less than two steps when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and looked at Korner, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Korner, do you think this game will be a shame?" I saw him shaking his head constantly, "I have the opposite opinion than you. I think this game will be the starting point for Ajax's counterattack!"

After saying that, he ignored Korner's expression that turned into pig liver and walked out of the box.

Several respected members of the elderly fans committee also followed Kraan. It was obvious that this time Koerner's wishful thinking fell apart, which made him very annoyed and scolded Kraan and others in the box. People, but there is nothing he can do about them because he is just a director!

…………

…………

Ye Qiu obviously didn't know what was happening in the box in the stands, but he was very aware of the crisis he was facing.

Therefore, he is determined to win this game.

After taking a goal lead, Ajax did not retreat conservatively. Instead, they continued to focus the struggle between the two sides in the midfield area and did not fully press because that would be high risk. He has no chance at all now. Risks are necessary.

After Eindhoven took the lead, they were a little angry and began to attack aggressively, especially on the wing. They wanted to take advantage of the wing attack to suppress Ajax. Even if they couldn't To regain the score in the first half, at least to regain the initiative and momentum.

But in the 42nd minute, Ajax counterattacked after stealing the ball. Kivu got the ball and passed it diagonally to the right to find Van der Meyde. After the latter got the ball, he drove straight in and quickly broke through to Einho on the right. The right side of Wen's penalty area.

Although Bouma caught up in time, Van der Meyde passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Ibrahimovic was like a heavy tank. On the one hand, he used his body to firmly block Hovland behind him and get out first. Pick the ball with your feet.

Ibrahimovic's sense of the ball is indeed very good. This challenge directly passed the ball over Hovland. The Dutch central defender missed it, and the pressure on Ibrahimovic was greatly reduced. When the ball fell to him In front of him, he got ahead of Nikiforov and pushed the ball directly from the inside of his right foot, almost hitting the right post and sending it into the goal.

Watrous' save was ultimately beyond reach, 2:0!

All the Ajax fans cheered wildly, and everyone was in the stands happily. Many fans stretched their scarves in excitement and sang Ajax fan songs.

There is no melody, but the melody of this chorus composed of tens of thousands of fans is very shocking.

In the stands, another group of fans began to pull out banners and cards, hoping that the club would keep the head coach Ye Qiu and get rid of the group of directors who only know profits and have nothing but money!

"Ajax is indeed the main sufferer of PSV. Ye Qiu once again pushed Gretz and his PSV into an embarrassing situation. If they lose to Ajax in this game, then Even if PSV win the championship in the end, it will only be a humiliating victory because they lost to their biggest competitor!”

This is also what Ye Qiu has in mind. Regardless of whether I can win the championship or not, I will not make it easy for you. I want you to feel humiliated and useless even if you win the championship!

"Gretz is in a very difficult situation now. Ajax's offense is very fast and this is the Arena Stadium. He must find an effective way to restrain Ajax's offense as soon as possible. I believe that during the halftime break, It will give him better time and opportunity to think about countermeasures.”

Following the on-site commentator's analysis, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

In this way, Ajax entered the halftime break with a 2:0 lead. This made the Ajax players who walked off the court hold their heads high and were indescribably confident. Full of fighting spirit, his eyes looked forward unswervingly.

Is this the quasi-Eredivisie champion that everyone is talking about?

Not so good!

They still have to kneel down in front of us Ajax!

Because we are proud Ajax!

But the proudest and happiest ones are the group of Ajax fans who came to the Arena Stadium. They used the high-pitched team song to send the players into the locker room, and also used passionate songs to cheer for their second half.

Because they believe that this will bring courage and strength to the head coach and the players!
