Volume 1 Chapter 15 Lesson 1

Monday, 1 November 1999

In winter, the weather in Amsterdam is getting colder and colder, looking up at the sky, it is gloomy, and everyone knows that it is going to rain.

Although it is an Ajax second team, the training time is not much different from that of the Under-18s, training five days a week, twice a day on Tuesday and Thursday, the rest once a day, and playing on Saturday and Sunday.

From Monday to Friday, the players generally have to attend classes in school, and even Ajax is very strict with the students' academic performance, if the cultural courses do not meet the requirements, they will be banned from participating in training and competitions, until his academic performance reaches the standard again, and in order to help the players tutor their homework, De Tokmost has hired 15 very experienced tutors to tutor the youth team students full-time.

Ye Qiu used this set yesterday to stabilize Huntelaar's parents, so that they could rest assured that their son would be well taken care of in Detokmost, so they agreed to Huntelaar's decision to switch to Ajax.

At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, a total of 20 players of the second team arrived on time at the training ground in the advanced training area of Detokmost.

As soon as they entered the training ground, there was a coach who seemed to be quite friendly and led them in the warm-up, and everyone present recognized that he was the coach Jan who had just been transferred from the first team? Audrey? Rick Link.

Sometimes, the rumors have been heard countless times, but they are far less real than seeing them in person.

Through the mouths of many people, Ye Qiu had heard of Rick Link, who was nothing more than a stubborn and difficult guy to get along with, but when Ye Qiu saw Rick Link for the first time in the morning, he really didn't think that the person in front of him would be difficult to get along with, because he had a smile.

In fact, how can someone who has been in the Ajax Academy for so long, always dealing with young players, have a hard character?

And as soon as Rick Link saw Ye Qiu, his first sentence was to smile and say, "We have a lot in common!" ”

This made Ye Qiu a little confused, but soon, Rick Link said: "I mean at the tactical level, we all pursue speed, we all require speed and a touch of the ball, but Waters they don't see it that way, they are still obsessed with ball control and organization at the edge of the penalty area, which makes me feel very angry!" ”

The words were very simple and the meaning was very clear, but it made Ye Qiu a little impressed by Rick Link.

At least from his words, Ye Qiu can understand that the style of football he pursues is not the development trend of football in the next few years?

And this is also a major point of disagreement in the quarrel between him and Waters, he said that he is just arguing with reason!

However, it can be seen from his hair that has obviously not caught up with the trend that this person is also a stubborn guy, so Ye Qiu can also imagine what Rick Link and Waters will look like when they are arguing and blushing and having a thick neck.

However, this person is very strange to people, the first time they met in the morning, Ye Qiu and Rick Link had a good impression of each other, so they were discussing the afternoon training session all morning, Ye Qiu also put forward some of his training arrangements, many of which made Rick Link's eyes light up and greatly appreciated.

It's like this simple warm-up exercise in front of you.

The first warm-up is no different from a normal warm-up, the purpose of which is to warm up the body.

The 20 players are divided into 5 groups, a sign is placed in front of each group, and a sign is also placed 10 meters in front of them, and each group of 5 people performs various joint activities around the sign, such as jogging, high leg raises, kicks, inner and outer swings, etc.

The content of this activity is to move the joints, but the distance of 10 meters is also particular.

On the soccer field, 10 meters is also known as the soccer distance, and it is the distance that is most used by a player in his runs.

According to Sacchi's theory, the most suitable distance between players and players is 10 meters, too long can lead to leaks, too short will appear crowded, so almost all defeated formations are considered to be 10 meters.

After this warm-up activity started, Ye Qiu arranged a second warm-up with a ball.

Each player has a ball, dribbling the ball in the center circle, bouncing the ball at intervals, stepping on the ball, dribbling the ball at high speed, etc., so that the players can find a sense of the ball, so that the body is familiar with the feeling of following the ball, as well as the control of the ball.

After warming up with the ball, Ye Qiu arranged a small game.

Each of the 5 groups of players is selected to have a hunter, and 15 of the other 20 players are holding a soccer ball in their hands, and the remaining 5 are empty-handed.

The rules of the game are that the player who does not have the ball in his hand is called the prey, the player with the ball in the hand is protected, and the hunter's task is to chase the prey, as long as he can shoot the body of the prey, the prey will automatically turn into a hunter, and the hunter will be liberated to become the prey, but the player holding the ball in the hand will be protected and not considered the prey.

20 people start the game in the court, the cunning hunter chases the prey without the ball, and the player holding the ball in his hand is to cover for his prey companion and block the hunter, especially when they see the hunter to chase the prey, they immediately throw the ball to their prey companions, as soon as the prey gets the ball, they immediately have the right to be protected, and the hunter has no choice but to find another target.

At the beginning of the game, because the rules are relatively fresh, so it is a little messy, but when they are familiar with the rules of the game, it is very interesting to play, a bit similar to American football, but in this kind of game, the players' ability to run and get rid of each other, as well as cooperate with each other, can also play a very good warm-up effect of moving the whole body.

Using your hands is just the beginning, and if the quality and conditions of the player allow, you can even consider using your feet to pass the ball.

When Ye Qiu and Roland arrived at the training ground, he saw the players playing games wildly on the field.

This cat-and-mouse game is a fun game for anyone, as they can make the most of their spoofs and tease their teammates, which not only increases the warm-up and team effect, but also helps them further integrate into the team.

This warm-up game was purchased by Ye Qiu from the Godfather system, for which he spent 10 bonus points, and he was distressed to death, but it seems that the effect should be very good, and as the game continues, the effect should be even better.

At least there was a scream of joy on the second team's training ground, all of which made the youth team players in the same training area, but blocked by barbed wire, pay attention, and even many of them shouted loudly.

Young people like to join in the fun, like to play tricks and spoofs, human nature!

I believe that at this moment, there are many players in the youth team who can't wait to enter the second team themselves, or let their head coach arrange the same warm-up games as the second team, which is much more interesting than those boring and boring warm-ups.

…………

…………

After a round of play, the players of the second team began to sweat one by one, and their bodies were all warm.

Ye Qiu stood in front of them, looking at this group of immature, but promising players in the future, his heart was full of longing for the future, because he knew that this group of players would be his first step in officially establishing himself in European professional football.

"I'm a person who likes to say ugly things first!" Ye Qiu looked at the players in front of him and said slowly, "I don't like players who ignore discipline and have no sense of teamwork, I don't like those players who like to play personal heroism on the football field and don't abide by the team's tactical arrangements, and I don't like those players who don't do their best on the football field!" ”

"In my opinion, a game is equivalent to a life, if you lose, you will always leave this loss in your life, even if you win ten more games in the future, a hundred games, you can't cover up your failure, so I want each of you to go all out and do your best in every game!"

Ye Qiu's words were definitely his personal thoughts, because he didn't like to lose, and he also believed that no one was born with a love to lose, who wouldn't want to be a winner?

"My second request to you is to forget everything you learned in the youth team in the past, from now on, I have the final say in the second team, I will let you do what I want you to do, you will do it for me, I say left, you can't say right, I say forward, you can't give me back even if you die, understand?"

Ye Qiu's inquiry was not very loud, and the players' answers were sparse, only Sneijder, De Jong and others were more in unison, but they were a little weak.

"I didn't hear that!" Ye Qiu was louder this time.

"Understood!" The players immediately replied loudly one by one.

In Ye Qiu's thoughts, Michels's theory of treating players as machines is very disgusting, because he feels that it can't bring out the creativity of players, and creativity is a must for any profession.

Thinking about the Barcelona Dream III team in his previous life, Ye Qiu had to admire the creativity of this team.

Although this team caused huge controversy in the football world at that time, Ye Qiu believed that no fan could erase the success of this Barcelona team, because this team made it clear to almost all football lovers and practitioners that football could really be played like this.

It is a team destined to go down in history, this is Ye Qiu's positioning of the Barcelona Dream Three team in his heart.

However, it is impossible for any team to follow Barcelona's set from the beginning, and any tactic is a process from unfamiliar to familiar, and at the unfamiliar stage, turning players into obedient machine parts is undoubtedly the best way to manage and inculcate.

Waiting for the players to understand and familiarize themselves with Ye Qiu's philosophy in the future, and then slowly give them more freedom and release their creativity, this is undoubtedly the best and most ideal process.

Fortunately, the Ajax academy has grown up from small to large, and the first commandment is discipline, which saves Ye Qiu a lot of trouble.

The new training method has been upgraded, but Ye Qiu's first training class still uses the original set, because he needs to use the new training method to lay a foundation, only when the foundation is solid and solid, and then the upgraded training method is used, then he can achieve the effect he wants.

As for the upgraded training method, Ye Qiu's evaluation is that it is closer to actual combat than the ordinary new training method, with more cooperation routines, which can help players improve their skills in the game, and at the same time, if the training becomes an instinct, it is bound to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the players in the game.

Of course, this is a long-term accumulation process that cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

…………

…………

The ordinary new training method is already familiar to Roland, Ye Qiu directly let Roland do it, and while watching the players train, he hid in the study room silently and read some football books.

When the book is used, this sentence is just right for Ye Qiu, he now feels that his football professional knowledge is seriously lacking and insufficient, so he has to keep making up classes and keep studying, and the study house is undoubtedly the best place.

An hour and a half of training passed quickly, and Ye Qiu said a few words casually and disbanded the team.

As Roland and Rick Link walked to the office, they saw a dazzling flower floating under the hazy sky in the distance, it was not Huang Chu of the medical department who had recently caused a commotion among the wolves in Detokmost.

"I'm here to inform you that the two new players should go to the medical department for a medical check-up."

Ye Qiu listened, and immediately nodded towards Roland, who knew what to do, and immediately went to inform Huntelaar and Abidal, which is also the rule of the Ajax academy, even the lowest level of players must undergo a physical examination.

"This is the key to the rent, and the key to your room, I have moved in, just on the second floor on the left side of the stairs, you are in the right room, I have also helped you pack it up, you can move in tonight with your luggage." After Huang Chu handed over the key to Ye Qiu, his hands were inserted in the pockets of his white coat, full of the temperament of a beautiful doctor.

Ye Qiu has been busy since he came back from France, preparing for today's training session, and he has never gone to see it after renting a house.

"By the way, are you moving in tonight?" Huang Chu asked.

The house is not big, but it is not small, there are two floors up and down, if only one person lives, it is empty, she lived there with a girl last night, she was always a little uneasy, and she didn't sleep well, but she definitely couldn't say this to Ye Qiu.

"Move......" Ye Qiu looked at the time, it was only 17 o'clock, but it was almost dark, "Let's move after dinner!" ”

Huang Chu smiled when he heard it, "I went to the supermarket at noon to buy vegetables and ate at home at night!" That delicate and moving appearance, coupled with that tone, made Ye Qiu's heart flutter, how could it sound like a family?

As if he also noticed that his tone was a little problematic, Huang Chufen's face flushed, which added a bit of emotion.

"Okay, I'll go find Roland and ask him to help me move!" Ye Qiu hurriedly took cover, "You're about to get off work too, right?" ”

"Wait for me for 10 minutes, see you at the door!" Huang Chu waved his hand after speaking, and ran away as if flying.

Ye Qiu looked at her back and couldn't help but smile, beauty, which man doesn't like it? What's more, it's even more rare to be a beautiful woman like Huang Chu with a beautiful personality and an easy-to-get along with.

At the thought of starting a cohabitation career with her, Ye Qiu's heart was full of expectations!

10 MINUTES LATER, YE QIU AND ROLAND PICKED UP HUANG CHU AT THE DOOR IN THE SECOND-HAND RED POLO AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE HOTEL WHERE HE WAS STAYING TO CARRY HIS LUGGAGE.

The place where this man lives usually doesn't like to tidy up, and Ye Qiu is the same, plus he lives in a cheap hotel, how can he expect the hotel waiter to help him clean up his room?

"You guys wait for me at the door for 5 minutes!" Ye Qiu stopped Huang Chu and Roland at the door, and flew into the room by himself and locked it.

Huang Chu could guess what was going on, and giggled outside the door, "Can you imagine how messy it is?" ”

"Maybe there's a woman hiding!" Roland also took the opportunity to fall into the well.

Huang Chu didn't believe it, in her eyes, how could Ye Qiu be that kind of person? And even if he is, he probably won't have that time.

Five minutes later, they walked into the room and could see that it was still a mess, while Ye Qiu was sweating profusely and laughing awkwardly, leaving traces everywhere, which made Huang Chu and the others laugh even more happily.

However, when they saw the thick notebook on the table, which had written down pieces of football-related information and Ye Qiu's reading notes, they had to admire Ye Qiu's diligence and hard work.

Ye Qiu didn't have much luggage, so he packed his clothes and personal belongings, just a travel bag, but a lot of useless things, and threw them directly into the hotel room, and then went to check out.

In the Netherlands, many elderly people will choose to move into apartments for the elderly after reaching a certain age, and their houses are either sold by themselves or directly sold to pension institutions, and then used this money to serve as their service fees in pension institutions, and pension institutions generally put the house out to sell, or use it to rent.

Ye Qiu's luck is not bad, a two-storey house introduced by Van Dude is a bit old, but everything is still very secure, all kinds of facilities are available, upstairs are bedrooms, there are three rooms, each room has a ** bathroom, 24-hour hot water, pay TV, and broadband Internet access, downstairs is a well-equipped kitchen and a large living room with full furniture.

The house is very clean and tidy, it has just been renovated not long ago, the head of the household lives in a pension apartment, so he chose to rent the house, and when he heard that the person who wanted to rent his house turned out to be the coach of Ajax, he did not hesitate to discount, from the original $800 per month to $500, a sudden loss of $300, not easy.

This house is located in the south of Amstelveen, two or three minutes away from the main road, and about 6 kilometers away from Detokmost, with all kinds of supermarkets, buses, pharmacies, hospitals, etc., which is very convenient.

However, when Ye Qiu and his party drove into the community and parked the car on the side of the road at the door of their house under the guidance of Huang Chu, they noticed a strange person standing in front of their house.

The reason why he is strange is because he is wearing a very funny, but very childish cow costume, and he is holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand, standing stupidly, as if waiting for someone.

"Waiting for you?" Ye Qiu looked at Huang Chu, he thought he was Huang Chu's suitor.

The latter shook his head vigorously, "I don't know him!" ”

That's weird, where did this cow suit come from?
