The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 135 The True Iron Army

The bustling De Tokmoster suddenly became deserted, and sometimes I was not used to it when I thought about it.

Van Prager likes walking in De Tokmost, especially when no one is there, stepping on the concrete road, or the cobblestone road between the training grounds, walking slowly, seeing some weeds from time to time , or some sundries, he would bend down to clean them up.

Ye Qiu followed Van Prager and walked with him. The latter didn't feel like the chairman of a club, but like an old man walking in his own yard, wearing glasses, with an old age. The fat body that is unique to human beings is very interesting.

Perhaps many people, including Ye Qiu, felt that this kind of behavior was a bit boring, because the club hired a special person to take care of it, but he still enjoyed it and did it almost every day.

Ye Qiu was very clear that he couldn't understand Van Prager's feelings for Ajax, but he respected the behavior of the Dutch old man, and because of this, he was always by the side, and when he talked occasionally, it was inevitable that he would chat. to the team.

At the first-team coaching staff and staff meeting just now, Ye Qiu once again emphasized that the team will not give up on any game. Ajax's belief and principle is to go all out in every game and strive for success. do the best.

"Don't tell me how other teams are doing, and don't tell me how other people are doing. I just want each of you to know clearly that my belief and principle, Ye Qiu, is to never give up any In a game, no matter how weak it is, I have only one belief, to win!"

Ye Qiu's words were very serious, because he knew very well that there were indeed some people who had opinions on multi-line battles, and that multi-line battles had indeed affected the team's competitiveness in the Eredivisie, at least losing points in a few games. , especially in this game against Graf Sharp, the lack of physical fitness of the players was clearly exposed.

As the head coach, Ye Qiu has no way to blame Peter Brandt for this, because he has done well enough, anyone can imagine that almost every week is a two-line battle, and he has to participate in the national team competition , and running back and forth, how can players always maintain a good state?
Therefore, Ye Qiu not only didn't shirk responsibility to the employees at the meeting, he didn't even mention this issue at all. He just said that everyone must abandon different opinions and work together to ensure the team's combat effectiveness and unity.

For Ye Qiu's speech and performance at this meeting, Van Prager still gave a high evaluation. At least he is not the kind of stunned young man, and he is also very particular about his speech, so that the employees can accept it. This is undoubtedly stable The best way within the team.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question!"

Walking slowly on the cobblestone road in De Tokmost, Van Prager asked softly.

"How much confidence do you have in the Champions League?"

Ye Qiu smiled faintly after hearing this, "If you asked me before the season, I would tell you no, so if you ask me now, I will still tell you no!"

Van Prager was taken aback for a moment, and immediately chuckled, "In the words of your Chinese, does this count as..."

"One step counts as one step!" Ye Qiu added with a smile.

Van Prager laughed for a while. Sometimes he couldn't understand Ye Qiu himself, at least he couldn't fully understand what this young man was thinking. Of course, he didn't doubt Ye Qiu's ability. Speaking of Ajax, even in the Netherlands and Europe, no one would doubt Ye Qiu's ability to coach a professional team.

"I told you before the season that I am determined to win the Eredivisie. I didn't say this casually. I think that if you want to win the championship, you must score at least 80 points. Last season, Eindhoven won the championship. Got 83 points, and before that, it was basically hovering above 80 points."

After listening, Van Prager nodded and listened carefully to Ye Qiu's analysis.

"The league is different from the cup. The league allows us to make mistakes more, but the probability of making mistakes in the cup is smaller!" Ye Qiu listened for a while, and after Van Prager nodded, he continued: "Now we have more opportunities to make mistakes in the league. A certain advantage, not my arrogance, if we concentrate all our strength to play in the league, I dare say that there will be no accidents in the championship!"

It's hard to explain what gave Ye Qiu confidence, but he really felt that the Ajax team he built would become more and more effective, because the entire tactical framework had been formed, and as the players grew and improved, With the continuous improvement and improvement of some details, this Ajax team will only become stronger and stronger.

But the premise is that the continuity of the players must be ensured.

If the team frequently sells people and keeps changing the main lineup, it is impossible for such a team to maintain combat effectiveness.

This is the key reason why Ye Qiu must keep Ibrahimovic and obtain the right to transfer the team.

But just adopting this high-pressure policy is not enough. If Ajax will always be in the Eredivisie arena, but in the European arena, it will be rejected by ambitious players sooner or later, because when the player's strength improves to To a certain extent, they need higher challenges to stimulate themselves.

Being the boss of a group of chickens is not challenging, and the head of a chicken will always be just a chicken, but if you are the boss of a group of phoenixes, as long as you have fighting spirit and enterprising spirit, you have a chance to defeat those bosses and become the leader of the phoenix.

Will Ronaldo be an alien if he doesn't leave PSV?
If Ruud van Nistelrooy hadn't joined Manchester United, would he still be the king of the box?

The transfer of each player is not just about money and benefits, sometimes it is a kind of stimulation, a kind of going to a higher level of the league, to a more competitive environment, to constantly stimulate yourself, challenge yourself, Allow yourself to keep improving.

"If we only aim at the league, then I can guarantee that soon, within a year or two, our group of players will definitely be gone, because the Eredivisie league will soon be unable to meet their requirements. Like Gilberto Silva, look at his performance, and Ibrahimovic, and Lucio, and Robben, and van der Vaart."

"This group of players has outstanding talent and potential. They are improving too fast, and the Eredivisie will not be able to satisfy them sooner or later. Then they will want to leave and change jobs. What should we do then? Reject? Suppress?" Ye Qiu smiled, "Is it useful? In the end, it will only kill the fighting spirit and morale of the players!"

After hearing Ye Qiu's words, Van Prager had to agree with his point of view.

In fact, one of the important reasons why the Ajax team in Van Gaal's period immediately fell apart after two years of glory was that the players lacked goals and lacked stimulation in the Eredivisie, so they all wanted to change Gao Gao’s platform to prove himself, coupled with the impact of the Bosman Act, eventually fell apart.

This has almost become a necessity, that is, after the peak, there will be a trough, and then there will be reorganization.

"Frankly speaking, I really don't like the way of choosing to admit defeat before the game is played. No matter how many excuses he finds, he can't hide his cowardice before the fight, because the players are not fools. , The game is played by them, you do not try your best, they know better than anyone else."

"Today, you can give up another game for this game, but tomorrow, you may also give up more games for another game. What kind of association will this make in the players' hearts? They will feel that in the heart of the head coach, the game can be given up!"

Ye Qiu smiled coldly, shook his head and said, "The most important thing in a team is belief, which is the team spirit!"

"Everyone comes from different places, has different beliefs, different lifestyles and habits, they have their own different experiences, and there are all kinds of differences. Therefore, any team that wants to integrate these people into a whole must There are only two things to rely on, one is financial incentives, and the other is spiritual power."

"The former is a mercenary army, while the latter is a real iron army!"

Hearing what Ye Qiu said, Van Prager couldn't help being completely convinced by him.

Because he finally understood that what Ye Qiu wanted was not a group of professional players, but a group of iron-blooded corps with common beliefs and common goals.

It's easy to be a mercenary, and you can buy everything if you have money, but it's very difficult to build a real iron-blooded army.

Patting Ye Qiu on the shoulder, Van Prager couldn't help nodding. He seemed to get to know Ye Qiu anew now, because he found that this young Chinese thought farther and farther than him in many aspects. Deeper, and more ambitious it seems.

Ye Qiu is right, the Eredivisie is only a small player in European football, sooner or later it will not be able to satisfy Ibrahimovic and Lucio, or even local players like Robben and Van der Vaart, sooner or later they will be like Van Bas Teng, like Rijkaard and others, went to a higher stage to prove himself and strive to leave his name in the history of football.

And Ye Qiu, why not?
Over the past two years, Van Prager has personally watched Ye Qiu grow from a youth training coach who has just left school to a well-known head coach step by step. He is more admired and surprised, because this is More than two years ago, when I saw Ye Qiu for the first time, I never thought of it.

And according to Ye Qiu's development and progress speed, sooner or later, Ajax will not be able to satisfy him. Like the players, he will hope to prove himself on a higher stage and compete with stronger opponents.

Needless to say, Van Prager really guessed what Ye Qiu was thinking.

In the past, Ye Qiu only hoped to be able to coach a team, to prove to everyone who looked down on him that he would become a qualified head coach of a professional team, and he led the second team to win the Dutch Cup, which has already proved this point .

Later, he wanted to prove to everyone that he could not only do it, but also do it well, so he led the team to win the UEFA Cup and once again fulfilled his wish.

But now, his goal is not only to achieve and do well, he hopes to become a strong player in the field of head coaches. He hopes that when fans all over the world talk about Ye Qiu, they will involuntarily compare him with Ferguson, Wenger, Capello, Lippi and other European marshals are put together.

This kind of ambition is indeed great, but if you dare not look farther in your life, and dare not enlarge your dream in your dreams, then what's the point?Is it okay to be careful all your life, step by step, and not dare to overstep in the slightest?

Ye Qiu's previous life was spent like this. After he crossed over, he swore that he would never live like this again.

When he first crossed over, he didn't have the slightest capital, so he didn't dare to have such a dream. Now, with the UEFA Cup in his hand, who would dare to say that his dream like this is too ambitious?Who can say that he, who is only 27 years old, will not become a famous coach one day?

"You... don't you think I'm very ambitious?"

On the Cam River in Cambridge University, England, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu rowed a small kayak and slowly drifted along the Cam River. When they passed under the Cambridge Bridge, Ye Qiu thought of many things and couldn't help but ask. Huang Chu was sitting opposite him.

Huang Chu was holding her chin, staring at Ye Qiu who was rowing in a daze. When he finished his story and asked her doubts, she smiled sweetly and blurted out, "Don't part with your illusions. When they yaregoneyoumaystillexist, butyouhaveceasedtolive."

"Can you stop talking about the sequence in English?" Ye Qiu spoke Chinglish to her with a wry smile.

Huang Chu was amused by him and giggled. She knew that Ye Qiu could understand English, "This is what Mark Twain said, don't give up your dreams, even though you can continue to live without dreams, but you have Even though he is alive, he is dead!"

"I can't tell!" Ye Qiu rolled his eyes on Huang Chu's body cunningly.

Being stared at so maliciously by him, Huang Chu couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, his pink face immediately flushed, and he said coquettishly, "What are you doing?"

"I didn't expect that you are still a little fresh!" Ye Qiu smiled even more maliciously.

"What do you mean?" Huang Chu didn't understand.

"Xiao Qingqing is..." Ye Qiu didn't know how to explain it, "... probably means a literary young woman!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed, "Cambridge is indeed Cambridge, even the air here smells of books. Our Ah Chu is now more and more like a literary young woman, but I am more and more Getting more and more rogue, if this continues..."

After a pause, Ye Qiu put on a pitiful look, "Ah Chu, will you be like Chen Shimei in the TV series, who dumped me as soon as you got home, and empathized with those wealthy people?" handsome?"

"Look at you like that, it's a pity not to act in a movie!" Huang Chu glared at him fiercely.

"That's right, maybe you can win an Oscar for acting in a movie, we Chinese haven't won an Oscar yet!"

Huang Chu saw how vigorously he was climbing up the pole, and smiled again. Anyway, as long as he was with Ye Qiu, he would always do everything possible to make her happy and make her laugh. see him.

After leaving his seat, Huang Chu moved forward for a certain distance, sat opposite Ye Qiu, stretched out his hand, and held Ye Qiu's face, "Although you are neither tall nor rich, let alone Commander..."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu almost jumped up. He is indeed not too tall, nor rich, but why is he not handsome?

But just when he was about to refute, Huang Chu turned around and lay close to and half in Ye Qiu's arms. This intimate gesture immediately provoked the students and other students on the kayak on the Kang River. The tourists all stared sideways.

You know, although he has only been in Cambridge for only a few months, Huang Chu's stunning beauty has already attracted the attention of many male students. Almost every day on the way to school and on the way to and from work, there will be male students handing love letters, but Huang Chu never Acceptance, this has been spread in the student circle of Cambridge University, and some people even suspect that she likes women and dislikes men.

But now, they all understand that it turns out that the famous flower has an owner!
"Ye Qiu!" Leaning in Ye Qiu's arms, Huang Chu's face turned red. This was the first time she was so bold and proactive.

"Huh?" Ye Qiu was pretending to be calm, but he was almost fascinated by this little girl.

"I really love you, really, really, really love you!" Huang Chu said with a slightly crying voice.

The voice was very soft, only Ye Qiu could hear it.

"Me too!" Ye Qiu simply stopped kayaking and pulled out his arms to hug Huang Chu.

From now on, Ye Qiu has done many things for Huang Chu, some things Huang Chu sees and keeps in mind, but there are some things that Huang Chu may not know, but Ye Qiu has done for her, so She was very moved.

For her sake, Ye Qiu had always taken a tolerant attitude towards Huang Jinsong. Huang Chu knew very well that with Ye Qiu's arrogant personality, it was already a huge concession to do this for her, so she always kept it in mind.

But when her mother Chu Yun called her and said that Ye Qiu had given her Huang Chu's phone number, Huang Chu couldn't help but shed tears, because even if she had fallen out with her father Under the circumstances, Ye Qiu could still do this for her. Apart from loving her, Huang Chu couldn't think of anything else.

In Ye Qiu's heart, he felt that he was a man, and as a man, he should take responsibility and protect his own woman, and he always felt that the matter between himself and Huang Jinsong should not sacrifice Huang Chu and make Huang Chu feel painful for the price.

Just like what Chen Zhong said, if you love her, you should think more about her, otherwise, is that still called love?
"My mother called you two days ago, and I heard that after my father went home, he still talked about you!" Huang Chu leaned against Ye Qiu's arms, whispering the secret that his mother secretly leaked to her.

"Oh, really?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, "You must be scolding me, right?"

Huang Chu glared at him angrily, "Not this time, I heard Brother Zhong said that my father has changed his mind about you now, and my mother also said that when my father talked about you, he was not angry anymore, he just said it casually." Asked a few words about my situation and study."

"How did he know?" Ye Qiu was referring to the connection between Huang Chu and his mother, Chu Yun.

Huang Chu raised his head, and lightly poked his forehead with jade-like fingers, "Do you really think my dad is an idiot? He's smarter than anyone else, but he just pretended not to know about some things."

Ye Qiu chuckled, but he wasn't surprised at all. This kind of thing can be guessed just by looking at Chu Yun's transformation.

"Don't worry, Ah Chu!" Ye Qiu hugged Huang Chu's slender waist tightly, "I promise you, give me a little more time, and I promise to marry you into our Ye family's gate in a fair and honest manner!"

Huang Chu smiled happily after hearing this. She usually has some doubts about other people's words, but she believes Ye Qiu's words, she believes them all!
