The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 141
It takes about 10 minutes to take the highway from Diemen to De Tokmost.

Hleb drove his Mercedes-Benz CL, took the southeast exit of the A2 highway, turned to the Arenal Stadium, and drove slowly into De Tokmoster. Because the time came early, the parking lot was still very empty. .

The parking lot in De Tokmorst is divided. The first team has its own parking lot, while the coaching staff and staff usually park in one area, and the players have their own exclusive parking spaces. There is already a tacit agreement.

Looking at the past, there are many Mercedes-Benz. This is because the Mercedes-Benz Netherlands headquarter announced that it has become a sponsor of Ajax not long ago. Welcome cars and other aspects, but there are not small discounts for club staff and players to buy cars.

Because of this, many Ajax players and staff have changed their cars, and many of them have switched to Mercedes-Benz. Even Roland sold the red coquettish POLO that he had followed for several years and replaced it with a Mercedes-Benz. coupe.

Many players regard this as an extra benefit, because only Ajax can enjoy this kind of treatment in the whole Netherlands, and this should also be thanks to Elisa Moon, who represented Ajax to carry out Negotiations, which can help Ajax save a lot of money a year.

And I heard that Ajax is now negotiating with ABN Amro, the largest bank in the Netherlands. It has sponsored Ajax since 1991, but because Ajax has won the Champions League for a few years, it has always been in the The turbulence, the sponsorship expenses have not kept up with the pace of development, and now they are still at the level of 1996, and they can no longer keep up with other teams.

It is reported that Van Prager entrusted the management of sponsorship to Eliza Moon's company, and Eliza quickly drew up a plan to further expand Ajax's sponsorship This will greatly increase Ajax's operating income.

As the team's performance gradually improved, everything in Ajax also appeared to be thriving.

Eliza Moon is a very, very outstanding strong woman. The company she runs now has a very close cooperative relationship with Ajax. She not only helps Ajax obtain a series of business income, but also Has become the agent of more and more Ajax players.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Lucio, Gilberto Silva, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Kivu, Keita, Robben... Ajax went up to the first team and went down to the youth training Almost all of the emerging rookies in the camp are players under Eliza Moon's banner, and each of them has obtained a lot of extra income from a series of business plans launched by Eliza Moon's company. And most importantly, the service provided by this company to the players is very thoughtful.

At present, many other players in the Netherlands have joined Eliza Moon, such as Van Persie of Feyenoord and Van Bommel of Eindhoven. Their business has spread to the whole of the Netherlands, and it is said that they are gradually coming out Netherlands.

After Hleb opened the door and got off the car, he stood in the parking space and looked at the training ground of the first team not far away, and the new home stadium of the second team next door, which was in full swing. When I first came to Ajax, it was completely different.

The new home of the second team will be called the Cruyff Stadium to commemorate the ball saint who has made brilliant achievements in Ajax, and according to the cooperation between Ajax and sponsor Adidas, the first team and Ke In the middle of the Ruyff Stadium, an Adidas sports center will be built, which will bring together a series of advanced and unique training equipment and technologies to help the first team and youth teams, the most famous of which are some sports measurement and analysis systems provided by Adidas.

You know, Adidas is the most advanced in the world in these aspects.

"Why are you standing here in a daze?"

While Hleb was in a daze in the parking space, team captain Van der Sar also drove a Mercedes-Benz, came in slowly, got out of the car, and asked with a smile.

"It's nothing!" Hleb shook his head. He also felt that sometimes he was really sentimental, and he was always full of melancholy even though there were no necessary things. Isn't this just making himself guilty?

"The changes are really big!" Van der Sar followed Hleb's eyes, which happened to be the construction site of the second team's home court and sports center, "I still remember that when I just moved here from the Olympic Stadium, there was nothing here. , but now...if this series of supporting facilities are completed, we will be a first-class, even the most advanced training base in Europe."

Not only that, Ajax also has a piece of land in the north of the Arena. According to the plan submitted by Eliza Moon, it will be turned into the Ajax Fitness Center, which is specially used for To attract people from all walks of life who are interested in football, sports and fitness, we adopt a membership system and arrange professional coaching.

This will also form part of Ajax's future revenue and earnings.

Hleb looked at Van der Sar and smiled, "More than a year ago, when I joined the team with others, we were just a group of little-known little players, no one knew us, I remember, that Shitou paid 15 euros for me..."

When talking about this, Hleb took a self-deprecating tone, "That is already a sky-high price for me!"

Van der Sar is the captain of the team. From the information provided by Ye Qiu and the coaching staff, he also learned about Hleb. He heard that in order to help this player, Ajax not only took his family to Amsterdam. , and at the same time specially allowed his younger brother to enter the Ajax youth training camp, all of which were supervised by Ye Qiu himself.

"Still angry?" Van der Sar looked seriously at Hleb's expression.

To be honest, in front of so many people, Ye Qiu picked him up in public and scolded him severely. Although Ye Qiu did it to annoy Hleb so that he could perform better, in the final analysis, It is inevitable for the players to be angry.

"Not angry!" Hleb shook his head, "I was angry during that game, but after the game, when I went home and thought about it seriously, I stopped being angry."

After hearing this, Van der Sar patted Hleb on the shoulder, nodded and said: "It's too much for the head to do this, but sometimes we have to think for him. If we can't win PSV, we will be very passive. , and may even lose this most critical part of the schedule, so the pressure on the head is also great."

Hleb nodded, "Don't worry, captain, I understand!"

He raised his head and looked at the construction site in the distance, where it changed almost every day, "It's been more than a year, and each of them has changed, and Zlatan is no longer the poor man who had no money to refuel more than a year ago. Guy, now he is worth tens of millions of euros, a lot of money, and Seydoux, and Rafael and Arjan..."

"Everyone has changed, only I am still standing still!" Hleb said with a bit of sadness.

Of this group of players in the Ajax team, he has changed the least and improved the least over the past year.

"Be bold and brave, we are a team, we will support you and help you!" Van der Sar said.

As the captain of the team, Van der Sar is not Keane, not the type of Vieira. It is difficult for him to show the captain leadership qualities of Keane and Vieira on the court, but he can do Keane What Vieira can't do is that off the pitch, he can use his experience to help and lead this group of young teammates.

After playing Eindhoven, Ajax has become the number one favorite for the Eredivisie championship in the new season, and has been unanimously appreciated and affirmed by the entire Dutch media circle. At least Ajax is the only one in the past few years. A team that can make PSV feel ashamed, even Feyenoord can't do it.

It is reported that Gretz has been sentenced to death by the PSV management. Even if he wins the championship this time, it will not be able to save his future in PSV. He will definitely leave get out of class, but who will replace Gretz? As for the coaching position, there is no clear candidate yet, after all, it will not be confirmed until after the season.

It is reported that Dutch marshals such as Advocaat, Guus Hiddink and Ronald Koeman are all under consideration by Eindhoven.

Ye Qiu is not very interested in the news from Eindhoven. He is very busy now, because he not only has to deal with the intensive schedule, but also participates in some management projects of Ajax.

At this moment, he took advantage of the team's training time to attend a club high-level meeting at the Arena Stadium.

In order to accommodate Ye Qiu's time, this time the meeting was even postponed to around noon, which was unprecedented. It can be seen that Van Prager is paying more and more attention to Ye Qiu, and the Chinese in the Ajax management team The status is also getting higher and higher.

This time the meeting was mainly focused on integrating the club's sponsor resources.

Ye Qiu was sitting next to Van Prager, listening to the main podium, when Eliza, dressed as an office worker and coordinating with the projector, introduced some plans and details of his with eloquence, he had to admit that this was A woman who puts equal emphasis on intelligence and beauty, at least her ability is beyond doubt.

Another focus of the meeting is to discuss the specific arrangements for the summer tour of Asia after the World Cup.

Ye Qiu has no objection to the Asian tour, because he has never felt that where the training camp is arranged will affect the club's preparations. What really affects the club's preparations depends on the club's specific arrangements. Is it business-oriented or not? Preparing for battle is the key.

As the head coach of the team, Ye Qiu always insisted that preparations should be the most important thing.

"The current situation of the team is not optimistic. We are not afraid of Eindhoven, but this does not mean that our strength is so good. In the European arena, we are not very competitive, so I do not hope that because of the Asian tour And it will affect the team's preparations for the new season, because it will definitely affect the team's performance."

"In fact, it's not just the Asian tour next summer, but also the training camp after the winter break this year. I hope the club can also focus on arrangements. I think we should go to a quieter place for training camp. Very important."

After defeating Eindhoven, many people felt that Ajax seemed to have the chance to win, but Ye Qiu had to remain calm and rational at this time, because he knew very well that the league was still quite long.

Van Prager also understands Ye Qiu's worries. In order to accommodate the World Cup, the Dutch Football Association has compressed the schedule very tightly. In addition, Ajax will play the Champions League and the Dutch Cup. It can be said that it is a third-line battle. The pressure is very high. If one is not handled well, it is likely to lead to a complete collapse of the team.

"Don't worry, I will personally supervise this aspect!" Leo Benhak promised.

He has now completely handed over all the power in the field of competition to Ye Qiu, and he himself has the title of technical director, in fact, he is acting as a bridge between the management and the head coach, and is also responsible for the management of Ajax. Provide some necessary opinions on the competitive level when formulating policies at the upper level.

After several in-depth contacts in the past, Ye Qiu has greatly changed his view of Leo Benhak, at least the latter has successfully changed Ye Qiu's impression of him fighting for power, and now Leo Benhak He has done a good job in the management of Ajax, and he is very supportive of Ye Qiu's work, and the relationship between the two parties has become very harmonious.

"I also heard some news!"

Ye Qiu's serious expression caught everyone's attention.

"I know that the team has performed well in the European arena. At present, many teams are paying close attention to our players. I don't deny that some teams are indeed very attractive to our players..."

The Eredivisie is always just the Eredivisie. Professional players who are not willing to prove themselves on a higher level stage?
No matter how high Ye Qiu's prestige is in the eyes of the players, it is absolutely impossible for him to stop the players' desire to pursue higher dreams. Therefore, to a certain extent, Ye Qiu is already mentally prepared to lose some players , but he still has to continue to work hard to ensure the integrity of the team's overall tactical structure to the greatest extent.

This is a very contradictory paradox. As long as the team performs well in the European arena, they will definitely be seduced by the top league teams. This is a natural incompleteness of the Eredivisie league, and Ye Qiu can't stop it no matter what.

"I hope that for every transfer transaction, I can get first-hand information, even if it is just an intention, because I hope to ensure the integrity of the team to the greatest extent, and as long as the integrity and stability of the team lineup can be guaranteed , give me another year, I will make the team shine in the European arena!"

Ye Qiu played very inexperienced in this year's Champions League, and the players were also inexperienced, but with the accumulation and experience of the two rounds of the group stage this season, Ye Qiu believes that the team's performance will get better and better, and he can feel that the players The current momentum of progress is very good.

Last season in the Eredivisie, the team improved very fast. This season, Ye Qiu was worried that after the loss of this novelty and the level of the Eredivisie itself was not high enough, the progress of the players would slow down. But now through the European competition Stimulation, the progress of players has always maintained a momentum of steady improvement.

With the strength of Ajax's players, currently in the Eredivisie, Ye Qiu is not afraid of any team, including PSV.

The meeting finally came to an end with Ye Qiu's series of requests and Van Prager's series of clear promises. This is equivalent to unifying the tone and coordinating the cooperation between various departments.

After the meeting, the club still didn't take care of the meal, so Ye Qiu could only take Elisa to eat at the thin golden man's side of the Arena Stadium.

Ye Qiu was full of praise for Eliza's performance at the meeting just now, but the half-Dutch-French woman seemed a little dissatisfied, shaking her head with a moving and incomparably lazy attitude, "It's a pity, busy After so much, it is always a part-time job for others!"

Ye Qiu somewhat understood Eliza's difficulties. She had complained to Ye Qiu before. If Ajax would give her more power, she would be able to run the club even better. But now she Just being a partner of Ajax, the actual power is not great.

"Hey!" Eliza was very active in her thinking, and suddenly thought of something, she stretched out her jade finger, and poked Ye Qiu's hand, "Let's just buy a club by ourselves, I will be in charge of running it, and you will be in charge of coaching, you see How about it?"

Ye Qiu was overjoyed when he heard that, owning his own club, no longer working for others, and becoming his own boss, this is also Ye Qiu's long-cherished wish, and Elisa also knows it, so her proposal is indeed very meaningful. Tempting, but the problem is...

"My miss, where's the money?" Ye Qiu asked with a wry smile.

Eliza curled her lips playfully after hearing this, "It doesn't cost much to buy a club in the Netherlands now, it's very cheap!"

"Either I don't do it, or I do it and do the best!"

Eliza was a little startled, but immediately laughed, this is the Ye Qiu she knew.

"The four major leagues?" She also seemed excited.

"It's not a few hundred million, you can't play around, miss!" Ye Qiu reminded.

"It seems that you have your own plan." Eliza is also a smart person, and she can hear the voice of Ye Qiu from his tone, "Forget it, anyway, I have sold you my whole life, so let's continue. I've got a part-time job for you, but we have to agree, seven or three points, I don't want to lose my share!" That coquettish and reproachful look was extremely touching.

Ye Qiu had already gotten used to this side of her, this girl was very good at taking advantage of women's natural advantages, she smiled without saying anything.

"By the way, tell me, what are you going to do next?"

"Damn it, when did you become such a gossip?" Ye Qiu looked down on you, "It must be because I have watched too many dramas, and even my thoughts have become like those of the male and female protagonists, and even commercial secrets Don't you understand?"

"Go!" Eliza poked him viciously, "Just you, return business secrets?" But she didn't ask any more.

Since getting to know Ye Qiu, Eliza felt that Ye Qiu was very organized and well-planned. He was by no means as radical and reckless as he appeared on the outside, so she really had a premonition that Ye Qiu either doesn't do it, or if he does, he must strive to be the best.

And all she has to do is to help him, and then wait and see!
