Chapter 98 Let’s get married

What is the most painful thing in life?

Some people say that having nothing is the most painful thing, is it true?

Sitting in the coaching seat of the home team at the Arena Stadium, Ye Qiu held his chin and looked at the stadium. It was very quiet around him, as if everyone had become dumb. Silently, no one spoke, and the original cheers were gone!

At this moment, Ye Qiu can answer with certainty that having nothing is not painful at all. The most painful thing in life is to have had it!

Just a few minutes ago, he once thought that he was so close to his first league championship trophy in his life. He once thought that his first season as coach would eventually end in a satisfactory way. He once thought that he could rely on this championship to gain a foothold in European football. He once thought...

Once, yes, once, because it was all in the past!

"If you hadn't given me hope from the beginning, I would have been more receptive. But why, since you gave me hope and even made me feel that it was within reach, in the end, you cruelly destroyed hope. Why is that?"

Raising his head slightly, looking at the night sky of Arena Stadium, his eyes felt sore, as if something was about to come out, but Ye Qiu blinked hard to prevent his tears from falling.

Tears represent weakness, failure, surrender, and acceptance, but now he doesn't like weakness, doesn't accept failure, and can't surrender, so why does he still cry?

In another distant game, PSV Eindhoven couldn't break Nijmegen's goal for a long time in the second half. Gretz had no choice but to replace Van Nistelrooy, who had decided to join Manchester United. As a result, the Dutch center scored three goals and performed a hat trick, helping PSV Eindhoven win the league championship trophy.

Lucky PSV, lucky Gretz, unlucky Frank Arnesen, but unlucky Ye Qiu!

If Van Nistelrooy scored one less goal, if Nijmegen held on a little longer, if...

But there is no if in this world!

When the news came, many people in the stands of the Arena Stadium couldn't help crying, because they couldn't accept such a result, because they, like Ye Qiu, thought they were going to win, but lost in the end.

Lost miserably, lost thoroughly, and had nothing!

On the court, the players of Alkmaar had left, leaving only the players of Ajax, who looked sad. Even tough guys like Ibrahimovic and Lucio couldn't help but sit on the grass, obviously they couldn't get out of the huge gap from heaven to hell just now.

"We should be considered the most tragic runner-up in the history of the Eredivisie, right?" Ye Qiu asked with a bitter smile.

Bobby Harms didn't know how to answer. If the two teams were neck and neck and fought until the last round, would it be miserable?

But Ajax fell behind from the beginning of this season, and caught up from 11 points to 2 points. In the last round, even for most of the time, if according to the regular real-time standings, Ajax was already the leader, surpassing PSV Eindhoven, but in the end, Van Nistelrooy's third goal in the 91st minute of stoppage time completely destroyed Ajax's hopes.

In other words, Ajax had already completed a Jedi counterattack, but lost again at the last moment!

If it was because of their poor performance and loss, it would be nothing, but Ajax performed better and should have won the championship, but in the end they still lost the championship, which is undoubtedly the most tragic.

"Don't be like this, if we lose, we lose, let's start over next season!" Bobby Harms didn't know how to comfort Ye Qiu.

Even though he had seen a lot over the past few decades and had experienced countless failures, he was already somewhat numb to failures, but this time he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but what could he do now?

"Do I still have the next season?" Ye Qiu asked with a wry smile.

He was the one who made the military order. If he lost the league championship, he would lose this bet.

But soon, Ye Qiu stretched out his hands vigorously, patted his face, and woke up, "Don't worry, Bobby, I won't be depressed because of this. Sooner or later, I will get back everything I lost today double!"

For Ye Qiu, he had no choice but to keep moving forward. No matter what Korner and his group of directors wanted to do, he would take it on, even if he was fired.

Entering the stadium, Ye Qiu walked towards the players one by one, hugged them, patted their backs and heads, praised them for their good and perfect performance, and encouraged them not to give up, not to lose confidence and hope.

Finally, everyone gathered in the stadium and stood around Ye Qiu.

"Guys, we lost!"

Ye Qiu's straightforward words made many people present feel sad.

They were all a group of young people, full of desire for the championship and honor. They were willing to make more efforts for this, and they only asked for rewards corresponding to their efforts, but now, they lost.

“I don’t want people to feel bad because they were better than us, so even though I feel a million bits of resentment, I still have to say that PSV were better than us. , they didn’t make any big mistakes all season, so they won the championship!”

This is true, because PSV lost two games in the Eredivisie this season, one against Ajax and one in the first round of the league, but the reason why they were defeated by Ajax The reason why the Knicks are chasing points is because they have too many draws.

In other words, PSV was able to ensure that the team got a draw even in a poor state. Relatively speaking, Ajax lost too many points, which is why they lost the league championship. s reason.

You can't just look at the last game, nor just the following schedule, but you should zoom in to the entire season. Then it is natural for PSV to win the championship, because they are better and more stable, and they will be undefeated in at least 25 rounds. Enough to make the entire Eredivisie league invincible.

If it weren't for the low morale and psychological blow in the last few rounds, PSV would have won the championship long ago, wouldn't it?

"I am as sad as everyone about this loss. You fought on the court and sacrificed a lot, but you must believe that I will not contribute less to the team than you do, so I am equally sad when we lose. But I want to remind everyone that losing is not terrible, the terrible thing is that we have lost the confidence and fighting spirit to win!”

"If we lose today, we will win back tomorrow. If we lose this season, we will win back a hundred times a thousand times next season!"

"We lost a league championship, then three days later we will go to win back the Dutch Cup championship, and a week later, we will go to Germany to win back the UEFA Cup championship trophy. Only in this way can we be worthy of our past. Years of hard work and dedication are worthy of this group of fans who came to cheer us on!”

All the players are looking at their head coach. Perhaps some of them are doubting in their hearts, will he still be the one to lead the team next season? Maybe some of them haven't gotten over the shadow of losing the championship, or some of them don't agree with Ye Qiu, but at least at this moment, they all feel better after listening to the head coach's words.

Ye Qiu is right, there is also the Dutch Cup, and there is also a UEFA Cup that is more important than the Eredivisie championship!

…………

…………

Ajax tragically lost the league championship. Many Dutch media were looking for head coach Ye Qiu at the Arena Stadium. But unfortunately, Ye Qiu didn't even attend the post-match press conference. He directly let Bo Bea Harms replaced himself.

This made all reporters present feel regretful, but some reporters were considerate.

He has just lost the league championship that was within reach, and he must be in an extremely bad mood. If you ask him to accept your cross-examination and accusations at this time, isn't that going to add insult to injury to him?

It wasn't just Ye Qiu. As soon as the game ended, the team went directly to Detok Most and then immediately disbanded. The players went home individually. No one in the middle was interviewed by reporters because Ye Qiu had banned private interviews. The order to accept interviews also conveyed a request to the Ministry of Information to cancel all interview appointments.

It is difficult to help when the time is right, and it is easy to add insult to injury. Ye Qiu knows the thoughts of the media and reporters. He hopes to give the team a more relaxed and calm preparation environment before the two finals, and does not want to be disturbed by the outside world.

As for himself, after arranging all the things, he directly got into Roland's car and went home.

"I'm hungry, Achu, let's make some noodles!"

As soon as he opened the door to his home, Ye Qiu shouted to Huang Chu, who was sitting with Eliza in the living room.

Huang Chu came back to watch his game tonight because he was lazy.

"Look, the voice is so loud, you know it's okay as soon as you hear it!" Eliza turned back from the sofa and said with a smile.

Huang Chu took a deep look at Ye Qiu. She and Eliza both knew Ye Qiu equally well, but their behavior was completely different. Huang Chu was the kind of gentle and graceful person who hoped to share the burden for Ye Qiu, while Eliza Sha, on the other hand, had the kind of cheerful and optimistic personality. She knew that Ye Qiu was angry, but she still deliberately joked with him.

Spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemum, each is good at winning.

As long as Huang Chu is around, the family will never have to worry about running out of food.

Not long after, a large bowl of fragrant braised noodles appeared in the restaurant.

Ye Qiu picked up the chopsticks and spoon and started eating with great gusto, making a lot of noise.

"Please, I didn't eat much tonight, okay? As for eating so hot?" Eliza heard him eating noodles in the living room and immediately complained with dissatisfaction. She came over and faced Ye Qiu who was sitting there. Opposite me, Huang Chu was watching Ye Qiu eating noodles, "Achu, are there any more?"

Huang Chu chuckled and shook his head, "You didn't tell me earlier!"

"You only care about him, and you don't care about me at all. You are so ignorant!" Eliza scolded.

Ye Qiu raised his head and smiled, "How about I give you some soup?"

Huang Chu burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Go to hell!" Eliza walked back to the living room angrily.

When I'm hungry, everything I eat tastes delicious.

After pouring a large bowl of braised noodles into his stomach, Ye Qiu felt at ease in his stomach.

"Look, you can eat so much and you're full. How can you be a person who is depressed because of losing a game?" Eliza obviously hated what he said just now and deliberately hit him.

"Who is depressed? It's just a game!" Ye Qiu walked into the living room and sat down. "A football expert said that a successful head coach must first learn how to accept failure, because failure is the mother of success!"

"Who said that?" Eliza glanced at him.

"Me!" Ye Qiu pointed at himself.

Eliza and Huang Chu laughed non-stop. This guy can show off, which proves that he is indeed fine.

Ye Qiu casually grabbed Huang Chu's hand, who was sitting next to him. It was very comfortable to hold it in his palm, but the little girl blushed and wanted to shrink back. Her eyes seemed to blame Ye Qiu. Eliza was watching, but this guy was unmoved and held it tightly.

"I know you care about me, but I'm not that weak. It's just a league championship, isn't it? If I can't get it this season, I will definitely get it next season. Even if I can't get it in Ajax, I can still get it in other teams no matter where I go!"

When Ye Qiu said this, he was really full of confidence.

With his performance in Ajax this season, even if he really can't win any championship, he doesn't need to worry about not having a team to coach, because now he has become famous in the whole Netherlands, and more and more teams are interested in him. If he really leaves, maybe even teams like PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord will want to invite him.

Not only the Netherlands, because of Ajax's outstanding performance in the UEFA Cup this season, teams in other European leagues are also interested in Ye Qiu, but there are no giants, basically they are all relegation teams in the bottom of the four major leagues.

With this confidence, will Ye Qiu still be afraid of losing the position of Ajax head coach?

"I'm not in the mood to care about you, I'm just worried about our business!" Eliza stood up from the soft sofa, and Ye Qiu realized at this time that she had already taken a shower and changed her clothes, revealing a pair of slender and crystal legs under her pajamas.

Seeing Eliza leave, Huang Chu's face flushed. She certainly knew that Eliza was not going to stay and be a light bulb.

Ye Qiu gently pulled, and Huang Chu fell into his arms.

"Don't worry about me, you should worry about yourself. How is your study?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Huang Chu smiled slightly, "It's always good, but..."

"But what?" Seeing Huang Chu hesitated like this, Ye Qiu asked.

Huang Chu looked at him, "I plan to go to Cambridge University for further studies."

Ye Qiu immediately smiled and said, "Good thing, why are you frowning?" Not many people can go to Cambridge University to study.

"But Cambridge University is in the UK!"

"I know!" Ye Qiu nodded. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that Cambridge University was in the UK.

But when he thought about it again, he understood, and his heart was warm. It turned out that she was reluctant to part with him.

This made Ye Qiu hold Huang Chu's hand tighter, so that she could be closer to him. In the end, he simply hugged her in his arms and let her lean against his chest.

"Go, you should do what you like. No matter what, I will always support you!"

Huang Chu put his hands around Ye Qiu's neck and hugged him tightly. Tears kept falling down, dripping on his shoulders, and wetting the white shirt, "Ye Qiu... Let's get married!"

Ye Qiu smiled, "Okay, but now we can only elope if we get married!"

Huang Chu was amused by him and turned from tears to laughter. He opened his mouth and bit his shoulder, but he was very moved in his heart.

Everything Ye Qiu did was for her, all his considerations were for her, and he even accommodated her parents. This was undoubtedly a huge concession for Ye Qiu, who was always arrogant, and all of this was because of her.

"Ah Chu, actually, I have a way, we don't have to elope!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"What is the way?" Huang Chu looked at him with a sly look, like a thief.

"It's very simple, as long as we make it a done deal, we have a child, and they have a grandchild, then they will definitely not be able to deny it, ah... you are a dog, bite me!"

Ye Qiu's shoulder was bitten by her again, although the force was not great, but he pretended to be a pig being slaughtered.

"Ah Chu, let's go upstairs!" Ye Qiu was also full of desire.

On weekdays, he always played with Huang Chu, but it was all out of love and ended in courtesy, but today, for some reason, he really had an impulse and desire to possess her.

Because he had lost before, he was a little afraid of losing.

And he could lose the league championship, or even lose everything, but he couldn't lose Huang Chu!

Huang Chu had no way of answering him at this time. He nodded slightly, hugged Ye Qiu tightly, let him hold him, went upstairs, and went into Ye Qiu's room.
