While Ajax got off to a tough start to the group stage with a 3-1 win at Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, Manchester United came out on top in the snow of Moscow, and interestingly, both games were reversals.

Manchester United clearly did not get used to the chilling weather in Moscow at all, and the goalkeeper crisis has become two major problems for the Red Devils' central midfield, one is the centre-back and the other is the goalkeeper.

Although goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer later helped United turn things around, the Reds struggled throughout the game.

But no matter what, the three points are in hand, so Ferguson is still in a good mood.

Ajax are currently top of the group as they beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-1, with Manchester United finishing second in the group, with Lokomotiv Moscow and Bayer Leverkusen third and fourth respectively.

This ranking is somewhat unexpected, and it has also made bookmakers such as William Hill begin to adjust the odds of Ajax's second round of group stage qualification, from not optimistic before, to the current favorite to qualify, after all, Leverkusen's performance in this game at home is indeed very unsatisfactory.

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

He was voted by UEFA as Europe's best manager of the month in November, which has never been done in the Eredivisie in recent years, and was almost always won by the four major leagues before, Ye Qiu was able to win this award this time thanks to Ajax's two wonderful games in November, that is, a 3-0 victory over AC Milan and a 3-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

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

Eliza's agency is also behind the scenes, taking advantage of this momentum to carry out a round of publicity and promotion for Ye Qiu, and strive to make Ye Qiu an iconic figure under her company, and even French football has come to Amsterdam to conduct an exclusive interview with Ye Qiu, which will be placed in the special issue of the Golden Globe Awards.

In this interview, Ye Qiu directly answered all the questions raised by the reporter of the French football magazine, including team management, team tactics, etc., and even the team's goals this season He did not hide in the slightest.

"I know that last season we won the Champions League semi-finals, and many people felt that Ajax was lucky, a dark horse, relying on luck and something, which made me and my players feel very uncomfortable, so this season we are all holding our breath, we have to use our strength to prove to everyone, last season was not accidental!"

In the end, it is inevitable that there will be some personal topics to talk about.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, there have always been a lot of rumors about your private life, for example, there were photos of you and your girlfriend participating in an event before the media broke the news, and it was later confirmed that she is your agent, so we all want to know, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Of course!" Ye Qiu nodded and smiled, "I have a girlfriend, and 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 is likely to be the first to be dug up by French football, "Can you reveal more?" ”

"We met in Amsterdam, she is also Chinese, studying in Europe, she is a relatively low-key person, she does not like to be interviewed or harassed, so she has hardly appeared in front of the camera."

After hearing this, the French journalist smiled: "Is she also a fan?" Will they come to see you play? ”

"Occasionally, she doesn't really like football, her dream is to be a good surgeon, and she's working towards that, so we don't live together, but whenever it's me, she's basically watching it."

The French football magazine reporter sitting in front of Ye Qiu is called De Soor, a senior reporter of the French football magazine, and he also has a certain influence in European football, and has a deep friendship with Zidane, Ronaldo and other superstars, and he looked at Ye Qiu's expression when he mentioned his girlfriend, and wrote an adjective in his notebook, happy!

During the whole interview process, Eliza was on the side, the fact that she was Ye Qiu's agent has long been known, and even the two live in the same house, this is not a secret, everyone knows 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 misunderstand, like Ye Qiu and them, they have lived together since they were not famous before, and they still live together now, and they admit it generously, what are you afraid of? Who could be mistaken?

Watching Eliza send Desol away, Ye Qiu picked up the mobile phone on the desktop and dialed a number.

"I have to apologize to you first, Achu!" As soon as the phone rang, Ye Qiu smiled and said that if he guessed correctly, Huang Chu should have finished taking a bath at this time, lying on the bed reading a book, and was also waiting for Ye Qiu's call by the way.

"Why do you want to apologize? Don't...... What have you done to be sorry for me? Huang Chu said with a smile.

Ye Qiu deliberately had a very surprised expression, "How do you know Lu Dao?" I've just returned from the Devallen district! ”

Huang Chu on the other side of the phone was amused by Ye Qiu's similar tone, the Devalen district 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 at night, because he was afraid of misunderstanding.

Imagine if the front page of the newspaper was the Ajax manager looking for prostitutes in the middle of the night......

"Say, it's not serious, what the hell is going on?" After Huang Chuxiao stopped, he asked.

"Just now a French football magazine did an interview with me and asked me about my private affairs, and I sold you!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Huang Chu smiled gently on the phone, she could hear that Ye Qiu was a little eager to share the good news with her, as a football manager, it was not easy to be featured in the special issue of the Golden Ball Awards of the French football magazine, and also get an exclusive interview.

For those top coaches, such as Alex Ferguson, such as Arsene Wenger and others, it may be just a gesture, but for Ye Qiu, it is really unavoidable, because French football magazines can be said to be the Times magazine of European football, and their Golden Ball Award is known as more authoritative than the world footballer, which shows how influential it is.

"If you sell it, you sell it, anyway, I can't help you." Huang Chu on the other side of the phone said with a smile, but quickly lost his 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 popular media, even in the field of football, which is known for its male world, the girlfriends or wives of football stars are the darlings of the media, the most famous is Victoria, the wife of England star David Beckham.

Huang Chu is in the UK, she has heard some things about the Beckhams couple, in her opinion, Victoria is almost always by Beckham's side, both attend a series of activities, and become a fairy couple in everyone's eyes.

But she rarely accompanied Ye Qiu like this, and several times Ye Qiu invited her to attend some activities, but she 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, as far as the Dutch Football Association, UEFA, and FIFA hold those cocktail parties, award ceremonies, etc., I don't know how much I do, and for these, Ye Qiu can't push it off.

In the end, there was no way, Ye Qiu still found Eliza as a female companion to attend, and even stirred up a scandal because of it before.

"Why don't you speak? Asleep? Ye Qiu hadn't heard a sound for a long time, which was a little strange.

"It's nothing, just wondering, are you going to be angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

Huang Chu was a little timid, but he still spoke, "I know that I am a little willful and may cause you some trouble." ”

Ye Qiu is also a smart person, he understood as soon as he heard it, and guessed what she meant, he smiled, "Do you know Lu Dao, there is a saying circulating in our side, that is, to marry a beautiful wife, you have to share half with others, but I am a person, unlike others, I want to marry a beautiful wife, but I don't like to share half with others, so I can only hide at home and don't let her come out to meet people." ”

When Huang Chu heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and scold him again, but her heart was much more comfortable, she knew that Ye Qiu deliberately said this to comfort her and persuade her, so she was relieved.

"I've always felt that marrying a wife is not about buying a vase for the family, women, what age is it now, of course, you have to have your own opinions, have your own career, have your own pursuits, have your own ideals, have no opinions about anything, and are dependent on men, so I don't like this kind of woman."

"So, don't think too much, don't worry about doing what you like to do, I will always support you!"

Ye Qiu's words made Huang Chu's eyes red here, he gritted his teeth, and didn't let himself make a sound.

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

"By the way, I called my dad and my mom, and they said that they were going to pick a good day after Christmas to come to Shanghai to meet your parents, and by the way, the engagement ceremony was done." Ye Qiu saw that Huang Chu didn't say anything, so he continued to speak.

"Hmm!" This voice is a little small, with a bit of a girl's reserve and shyness.

"The customs in our hometown are very troublesome, even if it is an engagement, there is a lot of red tape, my dad and my mom mean simpler, don't be too extravagant and wasteful, you know, our family is a poor family, not richer than you, don't be too ruthless." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Go, you're still poor?" Huang Chu scolded with a smile, "But I also told my dad, don't be too extravagant, but these things are handled by him, and I don't know what he thinks." ”

"That's simple, you tell him directly, I have no money, no house, no car, just a poor egg, whether my daughter marries or not, let's see it." Ye Qiu's words were very rogue and imposing.

Of course, Huang Chu knew that he was joking, so he didn't get angry at all, but couldn't stop laughing.

In fact, Huang Chu is very knowledgeable about the dowry that Huang Jinsong and his wife are going to give them engagement and marriage, because her mother Chu Yun has mentioned to her that just the engagement has a luxury villa with the highest value in Shanghai, as well as two luxury cars, and more other jewelry.

Originally, Huang Jinsong also prepared a 88888888 amount of cash, but he was persuaded back by Huang Chu later, and the company's capital turnover has just eased, and it should no longer be pumped out to do this kind of meaningless thing.

For these things, Huang Chu never mentioned them to Ye Qiu, because she knew that Ye Qiu didn't care, and there was no need to mention them, as if the relationship between the two people was very vulgar and materialistic, engagement and marriage, the most important thing is that the two people are happy, then it's okay.

…………

Returning from Germany, Ajax soon welcomed Twente.

It was a difficult game as Ajax's players were clearly not in perfect fitness, resulting in average competitive form, and they faced stubborn resistance against a more prepared FC Twente.

Van der Vaart opened the scoring for Ajax by opening the scoring for Ajax in the 18th minute, and the Dutchman's New Cruyff has indeed been getting more and more eye-catching lately, and the competition with Van der Meyde has become more and more intense, which has also put Robben and Hleb on the left feeling the pressure.

However, Ajax's lead lasted only 20 minutes, and a counter-attack from Twente just before the end of the first half equalised and gave Ajax a blow in the face.

At halftime, 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 were the responsibility of this kid.

Scolding and scolding, how to adjust or adjust in the second half, and continue to trust what should be trusted.

Ronald? Koeman obviously has a deep understanding of Ajax's tactics, so they have also made targeted arrangements, and almost kept Ajax's attack firmly out of the goal throughout the second half, and no matter how much danger Ajax created, it couldn't break through Twente's goal.

Finally, in the 86th minute, Van der Vaart dribbled the ball on the right side and beat two players in a row to score another goal for Ajax, which helped Ajax beat the visiting Twente 2-1.

Although the game was won, the outside media severely criticized De Jong's mistakes in the game, but Ye Qiu took the initiative to defend his players and said that he was satisfied with the performance of both De Jong and Mascherano this season.

It's the first time that the young players are playing the role, and it's impossible to ask them all to be like Gilberto? It's impossible for a player like Silva to be consistent and consistent in a season and never make mistakes.

Judging from the current situation, Mascherano has improved very significantly, especially after adapting to Ajax's tactics, adapting to the style and environment of Eredivisie and European football, his performance is more and more consistent, definitely not like some media rumors, saying that it is bad and it is not.

The midfielder position is a bit thankless, either not impressive, if it is basically a foul or a mistake, and most of the other time when it is not impressive, the media and reporters will not pay attention to how the player performs.

If a manager wants to measure his players, he should clearly judge how much the players are playing a role in his tactics.

In recent games, Ajax has frequently conceded goals, which has a certain relationship with the decline in the team's overall control, after all, it is a high-level defense, and 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.

With the league playing so far, which team dares to say that their players are in good shape?

There will definitely be such and such problems, but some problems have been picked up by the media, and some people are not interested.

But sometimes, the pressure caused by the media can have some impact on the players.

A week later, Ajax travelled to Graafschap.

Because of the midweek Lokomotiv Moscow, Ye Qiu continued to arrange a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup in this game, and De Jong still sat in the back, but the performance of this player in this game made people clearly feel that his mentality was unbalanced.

Ajax took the lead in the first half, with Huntelaar's goal giving them the opener.

But in the second half, De Jong had already received a yellow card warning, and a very unnecessary foul allowed him to get two yellow cards not long after the start of the second half, which turned into a red card and was sent off.

Graafschap, who had been playing 11 to 10 for a long time in the second half, finally scored in the 83rd minute, drawing 1-1 at home to Ajax, which made the home team excited as if they had picked up gold on the road.

This time Ye Qiu was no longer polite, and gave De Jong a warning internally, and also said outside that he was disappointed by De Jong's foul and hoped that De Jong could sum up the lessons well, but also said that this would not affect De Jong's position in the team.

The 1-1 draw with Graafschap didn't give Ajax much of a blame as the second leg of the second group stage of the Champions League was just around the corner in midweek.

This time, Ajax, who had been recuperating for a long time, finally unleashed a special move, which hit the visiting Lokomotiv Moscow, and it was Ibrahimovic who opened the scoring for Ajax in the third minute of the game.

In the 34th minute, Lucio's goal extended the score, and just eight minutes later, Sneijder scored another goal for Ajax, 3-0.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and 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 Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 at Old Trafford, which also allowed Ajax to continue to take the lead, while Manchester United were level on points, followed by Bayer Leverkusen and Lokomotiv Moscow in third and fourth place respectively.

The third round of the group stage is not until February, and the Dutch Cup schedule has also been adjusted a little more than before, Ajax will play from the round of 16 knockout stage and will not be played until early February, so after this game, Ajax will only be left with the Eredivisie before the winter break.

But it was still careless, because three days later, on December 14, in the 16th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax hosted Hiddink's PSV Eindhoven.
