Frank? Arneson has been in a bad mood of late as he has a feeling that his time in full control of PSV Eindhoven is coming to an end, and his influence at the club has been weakened and curbed with the departure of Gretz.

This is unavoidable, because his performances over the past few years have been really unsatisfactory.

Sometimes this is the case, whether a thing is good or not, often does not lie in whether it is practical or not, whether it plays its due value, but in contrast, for what so many people like to buy things like to pursue cost performance, which is a contrast in itself.

If it weren't for Ajax's rapid progress in the past two years, Arneson's PSV Eindhoven would have performed very well, as the general manager of the club, the team he created was placed in the Eredivisie, which was second to none, but the problem is that with Zhu Yu like Ajax in front, Arneson has become not a human being inside and out.

The Eredivisie champion can't suppress the shame of being eliminated by the second team of Ajax led by Ye Qiu, can't cover up Eindhoven's embarrassing record of not winning every day, and can't hide the amazing strength of Ajax in the European arena for two consecutive years as a sworn enemy team that was pressed under his feet in the past.

Sailing against the current, PSV Eindhoven have been somewhat stagnant for the past two years, but Ajax has advanced by leaps and bounds and has been left behind, which is conceivable, but Arneson also has his own difficulties, that is, he needs more money.

How is it possible that only a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Ruud van Nistelrooy will be used to strengthen the team, and the increasingly sloppy board of directors has begun to pursue the so-called value for money, always hoping that Arneson will buy those cheap and talented stars? How can there be so many Ronaldo in the world for you to choose?

But the directors are not happy, always replying, "Look at the head coach of Ajax, that Chinese spent a little money to build such a strong team for Ajax, the League Cup champion, the European Champions Cup semi-finals, you see, now the value of the team has increased nearly tenfold." ”

Compared with Ye Qiu's achievements in Ajax, Arneson's two years in Eindhoven are indeed very bad, and it is reported that when the board of directors was discussing the choice of coach for the new season, they once considered poaching Ye Qiu from Ajax, but in the end, this matter was not resolved, it is said that Arneson fought to the death, and finally avoided his sworn enemy from taking charge of Eindhoven.

But one thing hasn't changed, and that's that Arneson has to hand over more power.

After the World Cup, Hiddink became famous for a while, as if he had become the first coach of the Netherlands, and PSV Eindhoven's board of directors regarded him as the team's first choice for the head coach of the new season, so as soon as the World Cup ended, Arneson was immediately allowed to fly to South Korea to have face-to-face negotiations with Hiddink.

"No matter what the conditions, you must sign Hiddink!"

There is no doubt that letting Arneson come and give him such an order is already a very obvious hint in itself.

As the best and most successful manager in PSV Eindhoven's history, and the godfather of PSV Eindhoven's only European Champions League, Hiddink is older than Arneson, who is a junior in front of Hiddink.

Even if Arneson has been in Eindhoven with one hand in the past few years, he has to clamp his tail in front of Hiddink.

"I've heard that there have been bets from bookmakers recently, the biggest favourite is PSV Eindhoven, what happened to Ajax?" Guus Hiddink has just finished his week's vacation, and in the past week he has not received even the slightest news or intelligence about football, just a holiday.

"Ajax sold two players in this summer's transfers, namely Seydoux? Keita and Gilberto? Silva has been the main core of Ajax's midfield in the past two seasons. Arneson replied, but the Dane was clearly a little unhappy with Hiddink's tone of asking about his subordinates, but he didn't have a seizure, and he didn't dare to have a seizure.

"Sell the core of the house...... Hiddink frowned, "...... That Chinese is called ...... Ye Qiu's, were these two transfers finalized by him? How much is the transfer fee? ”

"He personally supervised it, Arsenal in order to get Gilberto? Silva spent 17.5 million euros, while Barcelona got Seydoux for 10 million plus player exchange? Keita. ”

After hearing this, Hiddink was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "It's really not cheap!" ”

The introduction of a midfielder for 17.5 million euros can be said to be a big deal, even if this player has proven his strength in Europe, has also made a name for himself, and is still the main international player who finally won the championship in the just-concluded World Cup, which is still not a low price.

As for the 10 million players to get Seydoux? Keita, the price is not low, but relatively speaking, Gilberto? Silva is a bit more expensive, but it's not incomprehensible, perhaps because Wenger is desperate for the player.

"It's not cheap, but after selling the core of the house, Ajax is now facing the problem of a vacancy in midfield." Arneson sneered a little gloatingly, the enemy's bad luck was his luck, and he always did.

"Oh?" Hiddink was stunned.

"I heard that Ye Qiu gave Ajax a list of reinforcements, which listed a total of six players, Gerrard decided to stay in Barcelona, De La Pena switched to Espanyol, Cambiasso returned to Real Madrid, Deco renewed his contract with Porto, Rafal? Marquis has publicly stated that he is not interested in Ajax, and the last person to choose is called Max? Senna, gone to Villarreal, and now Ajax is struggling with their midfield signings. ”

After the introduction, Arneson didn't forget to bring a gloating smile, he obviously wanted to see the tragic appearance of Ajax and Ye Qiu's bad luck, he believed that it would definitely make him feel extremely happy and comfortable.

Hiddink listened to Arneson's words, and felt a little strange in his heart, some of these players that Ajax fancied had heard of names, such as Gerard and De La Pena, both from La Liga, Hiddink has been in La Liga for many years, and they are no strangers to them, but there are also some that he has never even heard of, like Deco and Marques? Senna and Rafal? Marquez.

He always felt that from these people, Ye Qiu's reinforcements didn't seem to be targeted to fill Seydou? Keita and Gilberto? Silva is vacant because these players are basically different from the two departing players.

But he didn't have a clue what was going on.

After thinking about it for a while, Hiddink decided to put all his thoughts aside and think about nothing else.

"Let's go, I'll go to PSV tomorrow and sign with the club!" Hiddink finally made up his mind.

The return to the Eredivisie is undoubtedly a risk of his own glory for Hiddink, but PSV Eindhoven has given enough sincerity that Hiddink will find it difficult to refuse this offer.

However, the current Eredivisie is not completely without challenges for Hiddink, at least he is very interested in competing with the Ajax manager named Ye Qiu.

"Father, I made the decision...... Is it wrong? ”

In the dormitory of the River Plate youth team training base in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, an 18-year-old boy is on the microphone side, talking to his father on the other side, telling his heart about his uneasiness.

Because just today, River Plate announced the list of this year's summer first-team training camp, and once again did not see his name in it, so that this teenager who was full of confidence in his own strength and once thought that he would soon get a chance in the capital's giant club, had to deeply reflect on whether the decision he made back then was correct.

"Every human being makes different choices all the time in their lives, and no one can guarantee that every decision they make in this life is right, because it is something that even God cannot do, and what we can guarantee is that before making every major decision, we have carefully thought it out and made the decision that best suits the circumstances and our own needs."

On the other side of the phone, the father, who was once a well-known professional player in Argentina, was comforting his son, he was well aware of the loss and disappointment in his son's heart at this moment, and he could also understand his son's hesitation and anxiety about the future.

At a time when Argentina's economy is getting worse and worse, playing football has become the expectation and dream of more and more parents or young people, as if they regard Maradona as their idol, but no one can guarantee that they can become professional footballers.

It's like his own child, after more than ten years of professional training, his academic performance can only be regarded as average, if he can't continue to play football, then he can only become a hard-working worker, because his academic performance makes it difficult for him to apply for a better university.

"Kid, be patient, believe me, the opportunity will come!" The father on the other side of the phone persuaded him step by step.

The young man's sigh could be clearly heard, full of a maturity that was completely incompatible with his youth, and at the same time a helpless weakness of reality, and confusion about his future, "I've been waiting for two years, father. ”

He has been patiently waiting for his opportunity since he came to the River Plate Academy, he did not play in the first team, but he kept being selected for Argentina's national team, from the earliest Under-15 to the later Under-17, he has always been the main midfielder of these national teams, and he has performed very well.

In the 2001 World Youth Championship held in Argentina, the Argentine national youth team finally had the last laugh and won the championship, and he is the core of this team. Rodriguez, Burdisso and Coloccini, among others.

Unlike these players who played in the first team early, or after performing well in the World Youth Championships, they were important and promoted when they returned to the club, the teenager could only stay in the youth team, watching his teammate Saviola join Barcelona after becoming famous in River Plate, and watching his teammate Da Lisandro be expected by the team to play an absolute main force in the first team.

Watching more and more teammates with their outstanding performances in the Argentine league and finally successfully get the steps to enter the mainstream European league, the teenager felt as if he was a loner who had been completely forgotten by the world, and he never understood what this was for?

"Don't lose confidence in yourself, boy, don't they all say, you're playing pretty well in the national team? Sooner or later, it will definitely give you a chance, trust me, don't give up easily. The father on the other end of the phone kept persuading his son.

This is a child who has brought him so much pride and high hopes because he entered the legendary football school of the Argentine academy, Lenato Cesarini.

In Argentina, when it comes to Lenato Cesarini, it can be said that almost everyone knows it, everyone knows it.

This football school has two founders, namely Holge? Solari and Ed Alder? Solari, the two are brothers, the former is the father-in-law of the former Real Madrid world defender Redondo, and the latter is Santiago, who is currently playing for Real Madrid? Solari's father.

The football academy founded by these two men brings together almost the most outstanding football talents under the age of 15 in Argentina, and sends a lot of outstanding rookies to Argentine professional teams almost every year, and many of these rookies have achieved impressive achievements, so Lenato Cesarini has also become the temple of Argentine youth training.

Oscar was once a well-known striker in Argentina, he helped Newell's old boys win the league title in 1974, although he was not well-known, but in the year the team won the championship, he played well and made a great contribution to the team.

Because of such an experience, Oscar has been training his son to play football since he was a child, but he hopes that his son can become a striker like himself, and in fact, his son Javier has played the role of a striker since he was a child, and he has performed very well.

But just when more and more people recognized Xavier and thought that this child would be a very good striker in the future, Oscar was very sure, and even directly concluded that his son would not achieve even a little bit of success in the forward line in the future.

"His position should be in the No. 5 position, Redondo's position!" Oskar said with great certainty.

Since then, Oskar has brought Xavier to his team and has begun to force a change in his position, dropping him from the striker to the midfield, because he has always felt that his son has a very broad vision and is also very aggressive, especially since he seems to have been born with an instinct, an instinct to steal the ball from the feet of his opponents.

It's hard to say if it's a talent or not, but Oscar has always believed that his decision was not wrong, and even now, he feels that his son is more like Redondo than Maradona.

Oskar's judgment got Ed Alder? Solari's affirmation, when he first saw Xavier, he said to Oscar with great certainty, "Although I have always believed that young players should not be overly praised, but this time I have to say that you are right, your son is very good in the number 5 position, he is a genius in the number 5 position. ”

The No. 5 position, which is equivalent to the midfielder's back, the position of the back with a heavier defensive task, Redondo's position.

After only one year at Lenato Cesarini, Javier performed very well and improved very clearly, and Lenato Cesarini quickly stood out in the midst of a brilliant rookie scene, not only by the Argentine domestic professional teams, but also by some scouts.

At that time, the Solari brothers made a suggestion to the Oskar father and son, that is, through their relationship in Europe, arrange for Javier to go to the second-rate league in Europe, and after receiving the cultivation and training of the European league, he will definitely be able to enter the mainstream league in the future.

Oscar had no doubts about the Solari brothers' connections in Europe and the world, but he eventually turned down such an attractive offer, because he felt that his son was still very young, and the most important thing for now was to stay in Argentina and play for the rest of the game, slowly gaining experience before going to Europe.

Eventually, the Solari brothers supported their choice and arranged for them to enter River Plate's Academy.

Things went very smoothly after that, Xavier quickly made his mark in River Plate's youth team, and was invited by Pekerman to join the national youth team, ushering in his resume as a national team, and then from the Under-15 to the Under-17 and then to the 2001 World Youth Championships, Xavier's performance has been very solid and excellent.

But sometimes, as a defensive player, that's what it is, too solid, it's easy to be overlooked by the camera, it's easy to be overshadowed by teammates, especially offensive teammates, and the same is true for Xavier.

Now, looking at his teammates one by one, they have surpassed themselves and begun to gain a foothold in the Argentine league and even the European league, and even so far, he can only live in the academy, how depressed and bad Javier's mood is, you can imagine how depressed and bad it is.

Oskar could understand his son's mood at the moment, but he didn't know what to do about it, and sometimes he had to regret that he didn't accept the advice of the Solari brothers, because Argentina had never valued a defensive midfielder like his son.

If I could go to Europe back then, even if it was just to gain a foothold in the second-rate league, train for a few years, and accumulate more and richer game experience, I believe that my son should also make a name for himself in the European league, right?

But in this world, there is no if, no regret medicine to take.

The father and son didn't talk much, especially in this situation, and Oscar didn't know what to say, so he hung up the phone after a while, and sighed for a while.

After Javier hung up the phone, he gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort in his heart, and walked out of the phone booth in the dormitory.

As the coach of River Plate's youth team said, in Argentina, there are countless rookies like you, or even better than you, waiting for their chance, and if you don't perform well, someone else will be able to replace you immediately.

The teenager Javier walked out of the phone booth and slowly walked to his dormitory, feeling depressed all the way.

"Javier, you're finally back, the coach told you to hurry to his office, immediately, immediately!" As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard my roommate shouting anxiously.
