Volume 1 Chapter 159 Digging the Foot of the Wall
"Mr. Ye Qiu, I'm so glad to see you!"
Ye Qiu himself didn't expect that at Lucio's wedding, the first acquaintance he saw was not a player or management of Ajax FC, but a player who had been somewhat forgotten by him.
"Remember me?" The Brazilian international stood in front of Ye Qiu, smiling with excitement and excitement on his face.
Ye Qiu nodded without hesitation, but he didn't know what to call him, "Mr. Leitt?" ”
When the two first met, Kaka was young, had no first-team professional experience, and had not had the slightest convincing performance, even in Brazil, so many people only knew that his surname was Reiter.
"Call me Kaka!" Kaka seemed very intimate.
"Congratulations, Brazil international!" Ye Qiu stretched out his hand again and shook it with Kaka.
Kaka shrugged, "It's nothing to be happy about, I'm just ......" He looked a little lonely.
In the process of Brazil's victory in the Korea-Japan World Cup, Kaka did not perform too convincingly, even during Ronaldinho's suspension, Scolari did not choose Kaka in the end, much to the disappointment of the young Brazilian international.
"I don't think there's any need to be disappointed by the number of appearances, you know, in the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Ronaldo was in the same situation as you, but after the World Cup, he quickly soared to become the most dazzling striker in football today, I believe you need to wait for an opportunity like him."
After hearing this, Kaka grinned and showed his trademark smile, "How can it seem that everything that happens to you can turn bad things into good things?" And I'm always convinced by you. ”
What he said was obviously that he was accidentally injured back then, and Ye Qiu gave him a little encouragement at that time, even now, he didn't forget this matter, so he walked over as soon as he saw Ye Qiu just now.
"Because what I say is the truth!" Ye Qiu replied with a smile.
Kaka looked at Ye Qiu with an indescribable feeling in his heart, "I learned from Lucio, Gilberto? Silva they heard a lot about you, and Douglas? McConn, they all think you're a great and great manager and I hope to play under you one day. ”
According to these words, it should be a bit of a self-recommendation, but Ye Qiu can understand from Kaka's expression and his flat tone, Kaka is more telling his own wish, and Ye Qiu doesn't know where this wish comes from.
So, after listening to Kaka's words, Ye Qiu smiled, "My esteemed Mr. Brazil international, you know, we can't afford yours, or you can consider paying out of your own pocket." ”
In the Eredivisie and Ajax clubs, transfers are basically calculated in millions, Ibrahimovic spent Ye Qiu $3 million, which has already caused Ye Qiu to be attacked by a lot of media, and with the current situation of Kaka, there is no need to talk about it if there is no more than 10 million, besides, there is indeed no position for Kaka in Ajax at present.
Kaka chuckled, "It's really nice to talk to you, but I mean it really, I hope to work with you one day." ”
Ye Qiu nodded, "I hope too, but until then, I think we will become opponents." ”
"For what?" There's something strange about Kaka.
Ye Qiu smiled, "Because Brazil won't be able to keep you soon, Europe is your stage!" ”
At present, there are agents who are operating Kaka to join European teams, and judging from Kaka's current situation, the teams in the four major leagues are slightly average, they may not be able to look at them, after all, they are players who have high hopes for the whole of Brazil, and such talents must at least be top teams.
"I hope it will be like what you say, but no matter what, I will always be grateful to you!" Kaka pressed his chest and said sincerely, he never forgot the encouragement that Ye Qiu gave him back then.
While talking, a group of Brazilian internationals in the distance were playing around Lucio and his wife, and someone was greeting Kaka, who also went up to join in the fun after confessing to Ye Qiu.
This should be the strongest peak moment of Brazil in the 21st century in Ye Qiu's memory, because after this World Cup, Brazil also had a difficult adjustment period in the wave of Europeanization, so that after Ronaldinho and Kaka, the two superstars, there was no successor on Brazil's attacking line.
Some people may say that Robinho, or Neymar, or someone else, but compared with Ronaldinho and Kaka, I believe there is no need to say more about which is better or worse.
This is also what Ye Qiu has always insisted on, there is no eternal and unchanging wealthy and powerful, and there is no long-lasting dynasty.
What kind of prince will Xiangning have?
Today, you giants are unscrupulously waving checks, robbing my people, digging my walls, tomorrow, I will take my team to tear off the fig leaf on your rich faces, and see who is uglier than whom!
"What? Who offended our head coach sir? Van Praag's hearty laughter came from behind Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu turned around and saw Van Praag, Leao? Ben Hack came side by side, Bobby in the distance? A handful of members of the coaching staff, including Harms, Rick Link and Roland, as well as some first-team players, were on hand to attend Lucio's wedding, after which the squad will assemble in Amsterdam.
Ye Qiu spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, you have a number in your hearts.
Everyone can see that Ye Qiu is unhappy because of Gilberto? Silva has been poached by Arsenal and the Gunners have clearly sent a fax to Ajax, but his offer of only €8 million is nothing short of humiliating.
"I've got the word out, Manchester United want Gilberto? Silva is priced at 15 million euros, while Barcelona has also taken a fancy to the Brazilian defender with an offer of 17 million euros. Ye Qiu said with a sneer.
Wenger really underestimated people, and thought that opening an 8 million euros would be enough to satisfy Ajax, is it really true that Ye Qiu has never seen what kind of hillbilly a euro banknote looks like in his life?
"I'm afraid that's going to scare him off, right?" Leo? Ben Hack laughed.
"I wish he would get out of here, it's not that we won't sell, it's that they can't afford it!" Ye Qiu sneered.
He just promised Gilberto? Silva negotiated with Wenger, but he didn't say that everything must be accommodating to Arsenal, if they are allowed to make a bid, then Wenger offers 100,000 euros, then Ajax is not going to lose to the sky?
The so-called agreement negotiation means that you pay your price, I open my chips, negotiate if you can, and get out if you can't.
"Give me another piece of news that I want to finalize all the transfers before the trip to China, and after that, Ajax will close the transfer market early!" Ye Qiu was obviously serious this time.
The foot of the wall has been dug into the door, and it would be too much to say if you don't put some pressure on them.
"I'll tell the people in Amsterdam to do it right away!" Leo? Ben Hack nodded in agreement.
Ye Qiu sighed, "You wait and see, when I have money, I must be ashamed, whoever Arsenal fancies, I will snatch whoever Manchester United wants, I will buy whoever is used as a bench, let Ferguson and Wenger, as well as the so-called famous coaches in Europe, be so angry that they have cerebral hemorrhages." ”
How much of this is angry talk, Van Praag and Leao? When Ben Hack heard this, he laughed and didn't feel at ease.
"Before I came to Brazil, I had a phone call with Van Gaal to find out about Gerrard's situation, which was a bit of a problem." Leo? Ben Hack said with a frown.
Ye Qiu had long been a little mentally prepared for this situation, nodded, did not speak, and continued to listen.
"The first is the player himself, Barcelona has just changed the coach now, Gerrard has expectations for Van Gaal, and he is not ready to leave Barcelona, so he does not accept the offer of Ajax at all, and the second is the Barcelona management, Gaspat has always regarded Gerrard as a transfer with a label that values his home and his own academy, and he will not sell him easily, because that represents the failure of his strategy!"
Ye Qiu somewhat understands the thoughts of these giants, or the presidents selected by the membership-based giants, to put it bluntly, Gaspat does not need to be responsible for anyone at all, he only needs to be responsible for the Barcelona board of directors and members, and even does not hesitate to do something that outsiders cannot understand for this.
As for Gerrard, who wouldn't want to join the giants?
Gerrard is a Barcelona youth product and has always wanted to play for Barcelona, and his two years at Barcelona have not been easy, but it is more because of the turmoil of the team, but now Van Gaal is returned to Camp Nou with high hopes from Gaspard, everyone is full of expectations for his future, and Gerrard naturally hopes to stay in Barcelona and wait for opportunities.
The phoenix tail and the chicken head, each of them has their own different interpretations, and no one can criticize anyone.
'De la Pena has made it clear that he wants to leave Lazio, but the place he really wants to go is Spain, not the Netherlands.
In a word, Leo? Ben Hack has blocked another player's transfer possibilities.
As a result, the possibility of De La Pena and Gerard switching to Ajax is almost non-existent, so among the four candidates for the metronome that Ye Qiu wants, there are only two players left, Deco and Cambiaso.
"Cambiaso is not ready to join Ajax, because he has been very eye-catching in Argentina and Real Madrid has high hopes for him, even if it is just to position him as a role to strengthen the depth of the club's bench, but in the eyes of the players, it is better than at Ajax."
This is indeed a very difficult reality to accept, but it is very cruel.
Playing as a substitute in a giant team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, or even not playing a game, receives far more attention than playing the core in a team like Ajax, because in a giant team, it may often only take one game, seize the opportunity, and become famous in one fell swoop.
This is a very real world, no matter how the media portrays fairness, justice and democracy, all walks of life, and even magnified to the whole society, will always be pyramid-shaped, and there will always be a very small number of people at the top, ruling the vast majority of people, and the same is true in football, where the giants themselves can survive by exploiting the middle and lower teams.
Therefore, anyone, including Ye Qiu, must accept the objective environmental rules created by this society, adapt to such rules, and strive to climb up to the top, and strive to reach the top in the rules.
"Me and Porto president Nuno? Pinto? Da Costa got in touch and talked about Deco's transfer, he offered 12 million euros and I agreed, but the head coach of the Porto club, Jose? Jose Mourinho has openly opposed the club's decision-making, and the player Deco has also passed through his agent Jorge? Mendes conveyed that he wants to stay in Portugal for another year. ”
"For what?" Ye Qiu felt a little strange.
"Because he has been in Portugal for six years, and according to the regulations, as long as he stays for another year, he will be able to obtain Portuguese nationality and have EU citizenship, which will have an immeasurable impact on his future development in the mainstream European leagues." Leo? Ben Hack explained.
Ye Qiu understood when he said this.
After all, there are restrictions on foreign aid, but there are no restrictions on players within the European Union, so for many South American players, getting EU citizenship is more important than anything else.
Didn't Serie A just break out the incident of forging EU citizenship not long ago? Many people even say that Veron left the UK for this reason, who knows what is going on here, but it can be seen that the importance of EU citizenship.
Leo? Ben Hack was also a little ashamed, Ye Qiu gave four candidates, but in the end, he had been operating for more than a month, but none of them had been taken down, which had to be said to be his mistake and responsibility as an operator.
"By the way, Leo, you mentioned it earlier...... Jose Mourinho? Ye Qiu thought of this madman.
Speaking of which, he also spent time in the same trench as Mourinho, that is, against Jaime? Pacheco's Boavista, Mourinho was still in Leiria at the time, and there was a war of words with Pacheco, but he never beat Pacheco.
"Yes, he moved to Porto from Leiria at the beginning of this year, and it is reported that Da Costa was optimistic about the Portuguese for a long time, but in order to gain some experience first, he went to Leiria, and at the beginning of the year, Mourinho was in charge of Porto as a firefighting manager, and he successfully turned into a regular player this summer."
Ye Qiu is not very familiar with the things before and after Mourinho's life in Porto, but in this way, it is estimated that it is really difficult to snatch Deco from Mourinho's mouth, and coupled with the matter of Portuguese nationality, it can almost be concluded that it is impossible.
It's really a blessing, and the disaster is not a one-way street.
But what's even worse is that the poaching of Ajax continues.
"Just yesterday, Barcelona sent a fax asking Seydoux? The price of Keita! Van Praag said with a frown.
Ye Qiu's heart is really immersed in the bottom of the Atlantic, it is not good to bring in reinforcements here, but it is constantly poached over there.
"Not allowed!" Ye Qiu did not hesitate to veto this transfer.
If a metronome is introduced, he could consider selling Keita at the right price, but the question is, now the metronome is not in a good position, Yaya? Toure is not yet able to replace Keita, so Ajax's midfield will need Keita to maintain the team's midfield balance and competitiveness.
Besides, Gilberto? Silva is very likely to transfer, if the core midfielder transfers, and then sell Keita, the impact on the Ajax midfield is too great, isn't this tantamount to restructuring the midfield?
'Barcelona's Cocu is not young and they want to use Keita to succeed him. Leo? Ben Hack analyzed.
"That's their own business, it's none of us, I know better than anyone now that we have to make sure the team can maintain the competitiveness of last season, otherwise we won't even be able to keep the Eredivisie title!"
In terms of strength, Ajax is improving year by year, but if it loses Gilberto? Silva and Keita, but without a strong complement, it is not known how much fighting power Ajax will be able to generate.
To maintain Ye Qiu's set of tactics and high-post defensive system, the midfield is very important, especially this midfielder.
Being able to stand in position, covering the front of the defensive line, protecting the defensive line, and having a stable ability to protect the ball and play the ball, such a midfielder is not so easy to find, and many who can meet the requirements may not come to Ajax at all.
As for things like Muhammad? Savage midfielders like Diarra and Essien, it is difficult for them to meet Ye Qiu's requirements.
Ye Qiu originally had two options for defensive midfield, one was Marcos, who later became popular in Villarreal and became Spain's hero in winning the 2008 European Championship? Senna, and the other is Mexican defender Rafal, who is currently playing for Monaco? Marquez.
The former is very difficult to find, Ye Qiu is currently looking for this late-blooming midfielder through the scouting system of Eliza and Ajax, but it is difficult to say whether he can find it, as for the latter, if you want to get this defender from Monaco, the price is not low, but the premise is that you have to be able to convince Marquis himself.
The Mexicans have performed very well in Ligue 1 and have been targeted by many teams, if you want to talk about the league level, Ligue 1 is higher than the Eredivisie, even if Ajax has the League Cup and the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive years of European results as bargaining chips, but who knows what will happen to Ajax this season?
In the final analysis, Ajax's restrictions are still too great, the Eredivisie cannot attract famous players to join, nor can it attract players who have made a name for themselves in other European leagues to join, plus in the Eredivisie and Ajax, more than 10 million euros of reinforcements are rare, and the team's salary structure is broken at every turn, which really makes it difficult for Ye Qiu to let go.
This is the difficulty of small clubs, you must have a set of thrifty housekeeping, but more importantly, you have to be ready to be poached by the big teams at any time and anywhere, and you must be able to add the right players at any time to consolidate the team's combat effectiveness.
All in all, two words, depressed!
But Ye Qiu knows very well that if he wants to make a name for himself in European football, he has to climb up step by step from such a small team, and there is always a belief in his heart.
When the giants dig him outside the stadium, he will teach them the most painful lesson on the court!
