Volume 1 Chapter 136 The Real Iron Army

The lively Detokmoste suddenly became deserted, and sometimes I was not used to thinking about it.

Van Praag likes to walk around Detokmost, especially when no one is around, stepping on the concrete road, or the cobblestone road between the training grounds, walking slowly, and occasionally seeing some weeds or some debris, he will bend down to clean up.

Ye Qiu followed Van Praag and walked with him, who didn't feel like the president of a club, but like an old man walking in his own yard, wearing glasses and having a chubby body shape unique to the elderly, which was very interesting.

Perhaps many people, including Ye Qiu, find this kind of behavior a bit boring, because the club has hired a special person to be in charge of this part, but he still enjoys it, and does it almost every day.

Ye Qiu knew very well that he couldn't read Van Praag's feelings for Ajax, but he respected the behavior of this old Dutchman, and because of this, he always accompanied him, and occasionally talked, and it was inevitable that he would talk about the team.

At the first-team coaching staff and staff meeting just now, Ye Qiu once again emphasized that the team will not give up any game, and Ajax's belief and principle is to go all out in every game and strive to do the best.

"Don't tell me how other teams are doing, and don't tell me how others are doing, I just want each of you to know clearly that my Ye Qiu's belief and principle is to never give up any game, even if it is a chicken game, I have only one belief, to win!"

Ye Qiu's words were very serious, because he knew very well that there were indeed people who had opinions on multi-line operations, and multi-line operations did affect the team's competitiveness in the Eredivisie, at least a few points were lost, especially in this game against Graafschap, the problem of players' lack of physical fitness was obvious.

As the head coach, Ye Qiu can't blame Peter for this? Brandt, because he's done well enough, anyone can imagine how it is possible for a player to always be in good shape when he is almost on two fronts every week, playing in the national team and going back and forth?

Therefore, Ye Qiu not only did not shirk the responsibility to the employees at the meeting, he did not even mention this aspect of the problem, but only said that everyone must put aside different opinions and work together to ensure the team's combat effectiveness and unity.

Van Praag still spoke highly of Ye Qiu's speech and performance at this meeting, at least he is not the kind of stunned young man, and he is also very particular about his speech, so that the employees can accept it, which is undoubtedly the best way to stabilize the team.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question!"

Walking slowly down the cobblestone road of Detokmost, Van Praag asked softly.

'How confident do you have in the Champions League?'

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled faintly, "If you asked me before the season, I would have told you, no, so if you ask me now, I will still tell you, no!" ”

Van Praag was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, "In your Chinese's words, this is not a ......?"

"One step, one step!" Ye Qiu added with a smile.

Van Pragha laughed for a while, sometimes he himself couldn't understand Ye Qiu, at least he couldn't fully understand what this young man was thinking, of course, he didn't doubt Ye Qiu's ability, and now, not to mention Ajax, even in the Netherlands and Europe, no one would doubt Ye Qiu's ability to coach a professional team.

"I told you before the season that I want to win the Eredivisie, I don't say it casually, I think that to win the championship, you have to get at least 80 points, Eindhoven won the championship last season and got 83 points, and before that, it was basically hovering above 80 points."

Van Praag listened, nodded his head non-stop, and listened carefully to Ye Qiu's analysis.

"The league is different from the cup competition, the league is relatively more able to allow us to make mistakes, but the cup game is less likely to make mistakes!" Ye Qiu listened for a while, and waited until Van Praag nodded, before continuing: "Now we still have a certain advantage in the league, it's not that I'm arrogant, if we concentrate all our strength to play the league, I dare to say that there will be no accidents in the championship!" ”

It's hard to explain what gave Ye Qiu confidence, but he really felt that the Ajax team he built would become more and more combative, because the entire tactical framework had been formed, and with the growth and progress of the players, as some details were constantly improved and improved, this Ajax team will only get stronger and stronger.

But the premise is that the consistency of the players must be ensured.

If the team frequently sells people and keeps changing the main lineup, it is impossible for such a team to maintain its combat effectiveness.

This is the key reason why Ye Qiu must keep Ibrahimovic and get the transfer rights of the team.

But it is not enough to just adopt this kind of high-pressure policy, if Ajax is only in the Eredivisie forever, in Europe, sooner or later they will be excluded by ambitious players, because when the quality of the players is improved to a certain level, they need a higher challenge to stimulate themselves.

Being the boss in a group of chickens is not challenging, and the head of the chicken will always be just a chicken, but if you are the boss in a group of phoenixes, as long as you have fighting spirit and enterprising spirit, you will have the opportunity to defeat those bosses and become a crested head.

If Ronaldo doesn't leave PSV Eindhoven, will he become an alien?

If Ruud van Nistelrooy doesn't join Manchester United, will he still be the king of the box?

The transfer of every player is not just about money and profit, sometimes it is a kind of stimulus, a kind of league to a higher level, to a more competitive environment, to constantly stimulate yourself, challenge yourself, and keep yourself improving.

"If we're just targeting the league, then I can guarantee that soon, in a year or two, our group of players will be gone, because the Eredivisie will soon not be able to meet their demands, like Gilberto? Silva, you look at his performances, Ibrahimovic, Lucio, Robben, Van der Vaart. ”

"This group of players have outstanding talent and potential, they are improving too fast, the Eredivisie will not be able to satisfy them sooner or later, then they will want to leave, they will want to change jobs, what will we do then? Refuse? Suppress? Ye Qiu smiled, "Is it useful?" In the end, it will only kill the morale and morale of the players! ”

After listening to Ye Qiu's words, Van Praag had to agree with his point of view.

In fact, an important reason why the Ajax team in the Van Gaal period fell apart immediately after two years of glory was that the players lacked goals and excitement in the Eredivisie, so they all wanted to go to a higher platform to prove themselves, coupled with the impact of the Boseman Act, it finally fell apart.

This has almost become a kind of inevitability, that is, the peak will be followed by the trough, and then there will be reorganization.

"And frankly speaking, I don't like that kind of way of conceding defeat in advance before the game is played, even if he finds more and more high-sounding excuses, he can't hide his cowardice before fighting, because the players are not stupid, they play the game, you don't do your best, they know better than anyone else."

"Today you can give up another game for this game, and tomorrow you can give up more games for another game, what does that make the players think of it? They will feel that in the heart of the manager, the game can be abandoned! ”

Ye Qiu smiled coldly, shook his head and said, "The most important thing for a team is faith, that is, the soul of the team!" ”

"Everyone comes from different places, has different beliefs, different lifestyles and habits, they have different experiences, they have a thousand strange differences, so if any team wants to blend these people into a whole, it can only rely on two things, one is the monetary stimulation, and the other is the mental strength."

"The former is a mercenary, and the latter is a real iron army!"

Hearing Ye Qiu say this, Van Praag couldn't help but be completely persuaded by him.

Because he finally heard it, what Ye Qiu wanted was not a combination of a group of professional players, but a group of iron-blooded legions with common beliefs and common goals.

It's easy to be a mercenary, you can buy everything with money, but it's very difficult to create a true army of iron.

Patting Ye Qiu's shoulder, Van Praag couldn't help nodding, he now seemed to reacquaint himself with Ye Qiu, because he found that this young Chinese thought farther and deeper than him in many ways, and also looked more ambitious.

Ye Qiu is right, the Eredivisie is only a small role in European football, and sooner or later it will not be able to satisfy Ibrahimovic and Lucio, or even local players like Robben and Van der Vaart, who sooner or later will have to go to a higher stage like Van Basten, like Rijkaard and others, to prove themselves and strive to leave their names in the history of football.

And he, Ye Qiu, why isn't this the case?

Over the past two years, Van Praag has watched Ye Qiu grow step by step from a youth coach who has just left school to a well-known head coach, and he is more admired and surprised, because this is what he never thought of when he first saw Ye Qiu more than two years ago.

And according to Ye Qiu's development and progress speed, sooner or later, Ajax will not be able to satisfy him, and he will be like the player, hoping to prove himself on a higher stage and compete with stronger opponents.

Not to mention, Van Praag really guessed Ye Qiu's mind.

In the past, Ye Qiu just wanted to be able to coach a team and prove to everyone who looked down on him that he would become a qualified professional team manager, and he led the second team to win the Dutch Cup, which has been proved.

Later, he wanted to prove to everyone that he could not only do it, but also do it well, so he led the team to win the League Cup and once again fulfilled his wish.

But now, his goal is not only to do and do well, he hopes to become a strong man in the field of head coaching, and he hopes that in the future, fans in the world will involuntarily put him together with European coaches such as Ferguson, Wenger, Capello, Lippi and other famous European coaches.

This ambition is indeed very big, but if you don't dare to take a farther vision and dream bigger, then what's the point? Is it good to be cautious all your life, follow the steps step by step, and dare not trespass in the slightest?

Ye Qiu's previous life was spent like this, and since he crossed over, he swore that he would never live like this again.

When he first crossed over, he didn't have the slightest capital and didn't dare to dream like this, and now, with the League Cup in hand, who dares to say that he is so ambitious to dream like this? Who can say that he, only 27 years old, did not become a famous handsome one day?

"You...... Do you think I'm too ambitious? ”

On the Cam River at the University of Cambridge in England, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu rowed a small kayak, slowly drifting along the Cam River, when they passed under the Cam Bridge, Ye Qiu remembered a lot of things, and couldn't help but ask Huang Chu who was sitting opposite him.

Huang Chuzheng held her chin and looked at Ye Qiu who was rowing in a daze, and when she heard him finish talking about her own affairs and ask her doubts, she smiled and blurted out, "Don'tpartwithyourillusions." Whentheyaregoneyoumaystillexist,butyouhaveceasedtolive。 ”

"Can you stop talking about the English sequence?" Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and told her Chinese-English.

Huang Chu was amused by him and giggled, she knew that Ye Qiu could understand English, "This is Mark?" Twain said, don't give up on your dreams, even though you can continue to live without them, you are already alive and dead! ”

"I can't see it!" Ye Qiu's eyes swirled on Huang Chu's body.

Being stared at by him so ill-intentionedly, Huang Chu's heart couldn't help but feel hot, his pink face immediately turned red, and he said coquettishly: "What are you doing?" ”

"I didn't expect you're still a little fresh!" Ye Qiu smiled even more ill-intentionedly.

"What do you mean?" Huang Chu didn't understand.

"Little freshness is ......" Ye Qiu didn't know how to explain, "...... Probably means a literary young woman! ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed, "Cambridge is really Cambridge, even the air here has the smell of books, our family Achu is now more and more literary young women, but I am becoming more and more hooligan, if I continue like this......"

After a pause, Ye Qiu pretended to be pitiful, "Achu, will you be like Chen Shimei in the TV series, you will dump me as soon as you are home, and empathize with those rich and handsome?" ”

"Look at you like that, it's a pity not to act in a movie!" Huang Chu glared at him fiercely.

"That is, maybe you can win an Oscar for acting in a movie, we Chinese haven't won an Oscar yet!"

Huang Chu looked at him climbing up the pole and smiled, anyway, as long as he was with Ye Qiu, he would always do everything possible to make her happy and make her laugh, which made Huang Chu hope to see him every day.

Leaving his seat, Huang Chu moved forward for a distance, sat opposite Ye Qiu, stretched out his hand, and held Ye Qiu's face, "Although you are neither tall, nor rich, nor can you be called handsome......"

Hearing this, Ye Qiu almost burst out, he is indeed not too tall or rich, but why is he not handsome?

But just when he wanted to refute, Huang Chu turned around, and the whole person was nearly half lying in Ye Qiu's arms, and this intimate action suddenly provoked the other students and tourists on the kayak on the surface of the Kang River.

You must know that although he has only been in Cambridge for a few months, Huang Chu's stunning appearance has attracted the attention of many male students, almost every day on the way to school and commuting, there will be male students handing love letters, but Huang Chu never accepts it, this has been spread all over the student circle of Cambridge University, and some people even suspect that she likes women and does not like men.

But now, they all understand that it turns out that the famous flower has the master!

"Ye Qiu!" Leaning on Ye Qiu's arms, Huang Chu's face was red, this was the first time she was so bold and active.

"Huh?" Ye Qiu pretended to be calm, but she was almost fascinated by this little girl in her heart.

"I love you really, really, really love you!" Huang Chu said with a slight cry.

The voice was very soft, and only Ye Qiu could hear it.

"Me too!" Ye Qiu simply stopped rowing the kayak, and pulled out his hand to hug Huang Chu.

From the realization to the present, Ye Qiu has done a lot of things for Huang Chu, some things Huang Chu sees in his eyes and remembers in his heart, but there are some things that Huang Chu may not know about himself, but Ye Qiu has done it for her, so she is particularly moved.

For her sake, Ye Qiu has always taken a tolerant attitude towards Huang Jinsong, and Huang Chu understands very well that with Ye Qiu's arrogant character, he is willing to do this for her, which is already a big concession, so she has always kept it in her heart.

But when her mother Chu Yun called her, when Ye Qiu gave her Huang Chu's phone, Huang Chu's tears couldn't help but fall, because even when she had fallen out with her father, Ye Qiu could still do this for her, except for loving her, Huang Chu couldn't think of anything else.

In Ye Qiu's heart, he felt that he was a man, and as a man, he should bear and protect his own woman, and he had always felt that the matter between himself and Huang Jinsong should not be at the expense of Huang Chu and make Huang Chu feel painful.

Just like Chen Zhong said, if you love her, you should think more about her, otherwise, is it still called love?

"My mom called you two days ago, and I heard that after my dad came home, he talked about you!" Huang Chu leaned on Ye Qiu's arms and whispered about the secrets that her mother had secretly leaked to her.

"Oh, really?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, "You should be scolding me, right?" ”

Huang Chu glared at him angrily, "Not this time, I heard Brother Zhong say, my dad has changed his opinion of you a little now, and my mother also said that my dad didn't get angry when he talked about you, but just casually asked a few words about my situation and study." ”

"How does he know about the Dao?" Ye Qiu was referring to the connection between Huang Chu and his mother Chu Yun.

Huang Chu raised his head and gently poked his forehead with his jade-like fingers, "Do you really think my dad is stupid?" He was more shrewd than anyone else, but there were some things he deliberately pretended not to know. ”

Ye Qiu smiled, but he didn't feel surprised, this kind of thing can be guessed as long as he looks at Chu Yun's transformation.

"Don't worry, Achu!" Ye Qiu hugged Huang Chu's slender waist hard, "I promise you, give me a little more time, I promise to marry you into the door of our Ye family openly!" ”

Huang Chu smiled happily after hearing this, she usually had some doubts about other people's words, but Ye Qiu's words, she believed it, she believed it!
