The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 181 The Standard of a Good Man
When Ajax reversed Leverkusen 3:1 away in Germany and got a good start in the group stage with difficulty, Manchester United retreated in the ice and snow Moscow. Interestingly, both games were reversed .

Manchester United obviously couldn't adapt to the chilling weather in Moscow. Lokomotiv Moscow scored the goal at the beginning of the game. The goalkeeper crisis has become two major troubles in the midfield of the Red Devils Manchester United. One is the central defender and the other is the goalkeeper.

Although the goals of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Solskjaer helped Manchester United reverse, the Red Devils played very unsatisfactorily throughout the game.

But no matter what, the 3 points were scored, so Ferguson is still in a good mood.

Because Ajax defeated Leverkusen 3:1, it is currently in the top position of the group. Manchester United won the second place in the group, Lokomotiv Moscow and Leverkusen were third and fourth respectively.

This ranking is a bit unexpected, and it also made William Hill and other bookmakers start to adjust the odds of qualifying for Ajax's second round of the group stage. The popular team, after all, Leverkusen's performance in this game at home was indeed very unsatisfactory.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that Ye Qiu finally won the most important honor in his personal career.

He was selected by UEFA as the best head coach in Europe in November, which has never happened in the Eredivisie League in recent years. Before that, he was almost always taken over by the four major leagues. Ye Qiu was able to get this award this time , Relying on Ajax's two wonderful games in November, that is, a 11:11 victory over AC Milan and a 3:0 reversal of Leverkusen.

It can be said that most of these two games are due to the credit of the head coach, and because of these two games, Ye Qiu has won the recognition of the entire European football world and even the world football world, and once again became famous, and was elected to the European football team. He was awarded the best coach of the United States in November, which also made Ye Qiu the cover figure of major European newspapers, magazines and media.

The brokerage company run by Eliza is also contributing to the flames behind the scenes. Taking advantage of this momentum, it will carry out a round of publicity and promotion for Ye Qiu, trying to make Ye Qiu a symbolic figure under her company. In Amsterdam, I conducted an exclusive interview with Ye Qiu, which will be included in the special edition of the Golden Globe Awards.

In this interview, Ye Qiu directly answered all the questions raised by the reporters of the French football magazine, including team management, team tactics, etc. He didn't even hide the team's goals this season.

"I know, last season we won the Champions League semi-finals, many people think that Ajax is lucky, a dark horse, luck or something, which makes me and my players feel very uncomfortable, so Ben We are holding back our breath this season, we want to prove to everyone with our strength that last season was not a coincidence!"

In the end, it is inevitable that some personal topics will be discussed.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, there have always been many rumors about your private life. For example, the media once revealed photos of you and your girlfriend participating in an event. It was later confirmed that she is your manager, so we all want to To find out, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Of course!" Ye Qiu nodded and smiled, "I have a girlfriend. Many people know it. It's not a secret."

"It's just a little low-key!" The reporter of the French football magazine was very happy. After all, this news was probably the first to be dug up by French football. "Can you reveal more?"

"We met in Amsterdam. She is also Chinese and studying in Europe. She is relatively low-key and doesn't like to be interviewed or harassed, so she has almost never appeared in front of the camera."

After hearing this, the French reporter smiled: "Is she also a fan? Will she come to watch your game?"

"Occasionally, she doesn't like football very much. Her ideal is to be an excellent surgeon, and she is working hard in this direction, so the two of us don't live together, but as long as it is my game, she Basically, they will watch the live broadcast.”

The reporter of the French football magazine sitting in front of Ye Qiu is named De Sol, a senior reporter of the French football magazine, and has a certain influence in European football. He has deep friendship with superstars such as Zidane and Ronaldo. And he saw Ye Qiu's expression when he mentioned his girlfriend, so he wrote down an adjective in his notebook, happy!

During the entire interview process, Eliza was by her side. Everyone knew that she was Ye Qiu's manager. It was not a secret that they lived in the same house. Everyone knew about it.

Sometimes things in the world are like this, the more sneaky you are, the more suspicious you are, the easier it is to cause people to misunderstand. Like Ye Qiu and the others, they lived together when they were not famous before, and they still live together now. I admit, what are you afraid of?Who could get me wrong?

Watching Eliza send Desole away, Ye Qiu picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

"I have to apologize to you first, Ah Chu!" As soon as the phone call was made, Ye Qiu said with a smile, if he guessed right, Huang Chu should have finished his bath at this time and was lying on the bed reading a book. Waiting for Ye Qiu's call.

"Why do you want to apologize? Could it be... what did you do to apologize to me?" Huang Chu said with a smile.

Ye Qiu intentionally put on a surprised expression, "How do you know? I just came back from De Wallen District!"

Huang Chu on the phone was amused by Ye Qiu's plausible tone. De Wallen is a famous red-light district in Amsterdam. Strictly speaking, Ye Qiu passed by a few times during the day, but he really didn't go there at night. However, because I was afraid of misunderstanding.

Imagine if there were headlines in the newspapers that the Ajax manager hired a prostitute in the middle of the night...

"Come on, you're not serious, what's the matter?" Huang Chu asked after laughing.

"Just now the French football magazine interviewed me and asked about my personal affairs, so I sold you!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Huang Chu smiled gently on the phone. She could tell that Ye Qiu couldn't wait to share the good news with her. As a football head coach, he was able to be featured in the special edition of the French Football Magazine's Golden Globe Awards, and also Getting an interview is not an easy task.

For those top coaches, such as Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, etc., it may be just a matter of effort, but for Ye Qiu, it is really rare, because the French football magazine can be said to be the era of European football. Weekly, and their Golden Globe Award is known as being more authoritative than the World Footballer, which shows how influential it is.

"I'll sell it if it's sold, anyway, I can't do anything about you." Huang Chu on the phone said with a smile, but quickly suppressed the smile.

In football, and even in the European entertainment industry, whether it is a man or a woman, relying on the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, there are countless people who have become popular in the media. Even in the football field known as the male world, the girlfriends or wives of the stars are media The darling of England, the most famous is Victoria, the wife of England star David Beckham.

Huang Chu is in the UK, and she has heard something about the Beckham couple. In her opinion, Victoria is almost always by Beckham's side, and both attend a series of activities, becoming the gods in everyone's eyes companion.

But she rarely accompanied Ye Qiu like this. Ye Qiu invited her to attend some activities several times, but she always refused.

With the continuous improvement of Ye Qiu's status and influence in the past few years, he has participated in more and more similar activities. Needless to say, the receptions and award ceremonies held by the Dutch Football Association, UEFA, and FIFA And so on, I don't know how many, and Ye Qiu couldn't push it away.

In the end, Ye Qiu had no choice but to find Eliza as his female companion to attend, and even had rumors about it before.

"Why didn't you talk? Fell asleep?" Ye Qiu didn't hear the sound for a long time, feeling a little strange.

"Nothing, just wondering, will you be angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

Huang Chu was a little timid, but she still said, "I know I'm a bit willful, and it may cause you some trouble."

Ye Qiu is also a smart person, so he understood it as soon as he heard it, guessed what she meant, and laughed, "You know, there is a saying among us that to marry a beautiful wife is to share half with others, but my People, unlike others, want to marry a beautiful wife, but don't like to share half with others, so they can only hide at home and don't let her come out to meet people."

After hearing this, Huang Chu couldn't help but scolded him again with a smile, but she felt much more comfortable in her heart. She knew that Ye Qiu said this on purpose to comfort her and persuade her, so she was relieved.

"I have always felt that marrying a wife is not about buying a vase for the family. Women, what age are they now, of course they have to have their own opinions, have their own careers, have their own pursuits, have their own ideals, and have nothing. I don’t like this kind of woman if they are all dependent on men.”

"So, don't think too much, just go and do what you like, I will always support you!"

What Ye Qiu said made Huang Chu's eyes turn red here, and he gritted his teeth, trying to keep himself from speaking.

Sometimes women's thoughts are also very simple. All they want is a man who knows how to understand them, respect them, and love them on the basis of understanding and respect. That is a good man.

"By the way, I called my dad and mom, and they said they planned to come to Shanghai to meet your parents on a good day after Christmas, and hold the engagement ceremony by the way." Ye Qiu Seeing that Huang Chu didn't make a sound, he continued talking by himself.

"Hmm!" The voice was a little soft, with a bit of reservedness and shyness of a girl.

"The customs in our hometown are very troublesome. Even if it is an engagement, there are a lot of red tape. My father and my mother mean to be simple and not to be too extravagant. You know, our family is a poor family. You rich people, don't attack too hard." Ye Qiu said with a laugh.

"Go, are you still poor?" Huang Chu scolded with a smile, "But I also told my father, don't be too extravagant, but he is handling these things, and I don't know what he thinks."

"That's simple, you just tell him, firstly, I have no money, secondly, secondly, secondly, secondly, secondly, secondly, thirdly, thirdly, thirdly, I don't have a car, and I'm just poor. Whether my daughter will marry or not, it depends." Ye Qiu's words sounded like a hooligan.

Of course Huang Chu knew that he was joking, so he was not angry at all, but kept laughing instead.

In fact, Huang Chu knew about the dowry that Huang Jinsong and his wife planned to give them for their engagement and marriage, because his mother Chu Yun had mentioned to her that just for the engagement, she would have a luxury villa with the highest value in Shanghai and two luxury cars. Cars, other jewelry and so on.

Originally, Huang Jinsong had prepared a sum of 88888888 in cash, but was finally persuaded by Huang Chu to go back. The company's capital turnover has just eased, and it should not be withdrawn to do such meaningless things.

Regarding these things, Huang Chu never mentioned these things to Ye Qiu, because she knew that Ye Qiu didn't care, and there was no need to mention them. It seemed that the relationship between two people was very vulgar and materialistic. Engagement and marriage, the most important thing is two people Be happy, that's all.

…………

Back from Germany, Ajax soon ushered in Twente.

This game was very difficult, because Ajax's players were obviously not very good in physical fitness, resulting in a mediocre competitive state. Facing Twente, who was more prepared, Ajax encountered tenacious resistance .

Van der Vaart took the lead in breaking Twente's goal in the 18th minute and opened the scoring for Ajax. It became more and more intense, and Robben and Hleb on the left also felt the pressure.

But Ajax's lead only lasted 20 minutes. Twente's counterattack before the end of the first half successfully equalized the score, which gave Ajax a sap.

During the intermission, although Ye Qiu was in a good mood recently, he still scolded all the players, especially De Jong, who was the main midfielder in this game, and a large part of the goals conceded was this kid Responsibility.

Scolding is scolding, how to adjust in the second half still needs to be adjusted, and what should be trusted should continue to be trusted.

Ronald Koeman obviously has a deep understanding of Ajax's tactics, so he also made targeted arrangements. Almost throughout the second half, Ajax's offense was firmly blocked from the goal , no matter how many dangers Ajax created, they just couldn't break through Twente's goal.

Finally, in the 86th minute, Van der Vaart dribbled the ball from the right and passed two players in a row, and made another victory for Ajax, which helped Ajax beat the visiting Twente 2:1.

Although this game was won, the outside media gave severe criticism to De Jong's mistakes in the game, but Ye Qiu took the initiative to defend his players and said that he had no respect for De Jong and Mascherano. Satisfied with the performance this season.

For young players, it is the first time to play the leading role. It is impossible to ask them to maintain a stable state and performance throughout the season like a mature player like Gilberto Silva, and never make mistakes. is impossible.

Judging from the current situation, Mascherano's progress is very obvious, especially after adapting to Ajax's tactics, adapting to the style and environment of the Eredivisie League and European football, his performance is becoming more and more stable , definitely not like what some media say, saying it's bad, no.

The position of the defensive midfielder is a bit thankless, either it is not good, if it is good, it is basically a foul or a mistake, and most of the time when it is not good, the media and reporters will not pay attention to the performance of the players.

If the head coach wants to measure his players, he should clearly judge how effective the players are to his tactics.

In the last few games, Ajax has conceded goals frequently, which has something to do with the team's overall decline in control. After all, they are playing high defense. Once the control declines, the entire defensive system will also decline.

The reason for the decline in control is related to the physical fitness of the players.

Now that the league has been played, which team dares to say that its players have good physical fitness?

There will definitely be problems of one kind or another, but some problems have been picked up by the media, and some people are not interested.

But sometimes, the pressure caused by the media will more or less affect the players.

A week later, Ajax challenged Graf Sharp away.

Because Lokomotiv Moscow is coming up in the middle of the week, Ye Qiu will continue to arrange a half-main and half-substitute lineup to play in this game. De Jong is still in the midfielder, but the performance of this player in this game makes people feel clearly, His mind was out of balance.

Ajax took the lead in the first half, and Huntelaar's goal helped Ajax open the scoring.

But in the second half, De Jong had already received a yellow card warning, and made an unnecessary foul. Not long after the start of the second half, he got two yellow cards, turned into a red card and was sent off.

而下半场长时间处于11打10的格拉夫夏普最终在第83分钟取得进球，主场1：1逼平了阿贾克斯，这让主队一个个都兴奋得仿佛走在路上捡到了金子。

This time, Ye Qiu was no longer polite. He gave De Jong a warning internally, and said externally that he was disappointed by De Jong's foul. He hoped that De Jong could sum up his experiences and lessons. To De Jong's position in the team.

The 1:1 tie with Graf Sharp did not cause Ajax to receive too much criticism, because the second round of the second round of the Champions League group stage will be ushered in the middle of the week.

This time, Ajax, who had been accumulating for a long time, finally released a nirvana, hitting the visiting Lokomotiv Moscow, and Ibrahimovic played for Ajax in the third minute of the game. Sri Lanka opened the record for the first time.

In the 34th minute, Lucio's goal expanded the score, and only 8 minutes later, Sneijder made another victory for Ajax, 3:0.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Robben's goal in the 51st minute completely locked the score at 4:0!

In the other game in the same group, Manchester United narrowly beat Leverkusen 3:2 at Old Trafford, which also allowed Ajax to continue to occupy the leading position smoothly, while Manchester United had the same points. Subsequently, Leverkusen and Lokomotiv Moscow ranked third and fourth respectively.

The third round of the group stage will not be until February, and the Holland Cup schedule has also undergone some adjustments compared to the past. Ajax will start from the round of 2 knockout rounds, and it will not be held until early February, so after this game , Ajax before the winter break, only the Eredivisie is left.

But it is still not careless, because three days later, on December 12, in the 14th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax ushered in Hiddink's Eindhoven at home.
