Volume 1 Chapter 36 Letter of Resignation

"Hehe, I really can't see it, it turns out that you also have such a manly side!"

In the restaurant in the southern business district of the Arena Stadium, Eliza was very impressed with Ye Qiu, she didn't seem to be teased at all, but stared at Ye Qiu as if Columbus had discovered a new world.

On the contrary, it was Ye Qiu, whose intuition told him that Eliza had misunderstood.

Ye Qiu shot to hit Huizinger, more because of Huang Chu, although if he saw Huizinge teasing Eliza, he would also make a move, but this time he was really for Huang Chu, but Eliza thought it was because of her.

But there's no way to explain this kind of thing, you can't say, I'm sorry, I'm not for you, right?

"What's wrong? Something not to taste? Ye Qiu saw Huang Chu who didn't do much on the side.

Huang Chu shook her head, she was very good at cooking, but she ate very casually, just a little worried about Ye Qiu, "Although I was persuaded by Bobi and them, will this matter have any impact on you?" ”

Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled when he heard this, "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal that I won't do it in Ajax, and it's not like I don't have nowhere else to go!" ”

During the winter break, a professional team in the Dutch second division contacted Ye Qiu, hoping that Ye Qiu could coach in the second half, but Ye Qiu refused, because he hoped to prove himself in the second team of Ajax and continue to finish the season.

As for the next season, he doesn't have any detailed plans for the time being, but it is certain that he will definitely not lose his job.

Sometimes when I think about it, it's really helpless, I worked for people in my previous life, and I still have to work for people in this life, is it really the life of a working boy for the rest of my life?

"That's right, I'm a very righteous person, you help me, I won't let you lose your job, it's a big deal that you come to the company to help when the time comes!" Eliza said with a smile.

Ye Qiu glanced at it, "Please, you are a minority shareholder of the company, and I am the majority shareholder, okay?" ”

Eliza was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of this agreement, especially when she saw Ye Qiu's vicious eyes, as if to say, if you are rude to the boss, Lao Tzu will fire your squid, she suddenly laughed, and quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, Achu, when did you come back?" Eliza took aim at Huang Chu.

"Just arrived today!" Huang Chu replied with a smile, she already knew that Eliza was their neighbor, and Ye Qiu had also told her about the Dutch cow before, and she had a good impression of Eliza.

Looking at Ye Qiu, she was a little shy, "I originally wanted to be diligent, but I didn't expect ......"

Eliza, this girl is so ghostly, as soon as she saw Huang Chu's eyes, she immediately noticed some clues, and her intuition told her that these two people didn't look like a couple either, the reason why Huang Chu went to work as soon as he arrived today was that he was afraid that he was going to surprise Ye Qiu, right?

I have to admire this woman's sixth sense, and I guessed that ** is not far from ten.

To say, when these two women get together, the man becomes a light bulb.

Huang Chu and Eliza are close in age, and they are both beautiful, sitting together and talking and laughing, from time to time the men in the whole restaurant are fascinated, causing their female companions at the same table to be angry one by one, and Ye Qiu is also called the object of envy and hatred of those men.

But at this moment, Ye Qiu was thinking in his heart, should he continue to stay at Ajax?

…………

…………

Standing in the office on the second floor of the Arena Stadium, you can directly see Detokmoste not far away, the erected lampposts, and the white iron pillars with barbed wire, which look very bright under the dark clouds.

That's the foundation of Ajax!

Van Praag has no doubt about this, so he has always taken De Tokmoste very seriously.

But, yesterday, Bobby? Harms's words made his heart very heavy.

"Do you want drastic reforms? Or is it mediocre to maintain the status quo? You need to give everyone an accurate signal, not like you are doing now, which will only make the team sink deeper and deeper, and it will also make the team miss out on more talent and more opportunities for revival! ”

Van Praag heard the news about Ye Qiu's beating of Huizinger, and heard that the tall and tall Huizinger was beaten badly by Ye Qiu, and Van Praag had made it clear that he had called Westerhoff and that this matter must be dealt with strictly.

The damn guy who spent his $4 million on his performance improved a little bit, and immediately cocked his tail to the sky, daring to harass a female colleague in the team's medical department, and after being warned by Ye Qiu, he immediately went out to harass the club's partners, this is simply damned!

In normal times, Van Praag would even consider expelling him from Ajax, because such a person would only defile Ajax!

But now, can he?

Just when Van Praag was full of sadness, he heard a knock on the door outside.

Ye Qiu walked in, turned around and closed the door.

"Ye Qiu, come, sit here!" After Van Praag beckoned Ye Qiu to sit down at his desk, he looked at this Bobby? Harms is very optimistic and values the young man, "I have heard about yesterday's incident, Huizinger will also be punished, and the club has fully taken into account your feelings, so it has also decided not to pursue you for the assault. ”

Ye Qiu had already heard the results from Van Dude, and this time he was also a little surprised, the management moved so fast.

"Ye Qiu, I hope you understand that the current situation of the club is not very ideal, we are all full of hope for the second team led by you, and I have carefully thought about it, next season you will be in charge of De Tokmost, and continue to coach the second team!"

It should be said that the bargaining chip given by Van Praag is indeed not low, at the age of 25, it is not easy for Ye Qiu to be able to coach De Tokmost and Ajax second team, it can be said to be unprecedented, but for Ye Qiu, this temptation is not very ideal.

The reason is simple, he wants to be able to stand alone, not be limited everywhere like he is now.

It's not bad to coach the Ajax second team, but the problem is that with the current performance of the Ajax second team, no matter who is the head coach next season, it is an inevitable choice to vigorously promote the youth team.

Ye Qiu is not stupid, he also knows very well that once the second team does not achieve good results, he will face all kinds of pressure at any time, and even if the first team coach does not like him at that time, it is possible to learn from Waters to exclude him like Westerhoff.

Westerhoff still had Leo at the time? Ben Hack, and where is his qualifications, but what does Ye Qiu have?

There is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, the first team is the eldest son, and the second team is born to a little mother.

"What's wrong? Any thoughts? Van Praag saw Ye Qiu silent and asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu shook his head, stood up, and took out a letter from his pocket, which was written stroke by stroke in English.

"Letter of resignation?" Van Praag took it and looked at it, a little surprised.

Ye Qiu sighed deeply, "Yes, after the second team's game this season, I am ready to leave Ajax!" ”

"For what?" Van Praag stood up directly, puzzled.

"I'm just a coach, I don't like to be involved in some intrigues, power struggles and whirlpools all day long, I just want to have a peaceful and stable environment, I can get freedom and power, I can arrange the team I coach according to my ideas, and I don't have to worry about this and that all day long, that makes me feel very tired!"

Van Praag listened to it and had nothing to say.

Ye Qiu came to Ajax for a season, from the dispute between Waters and Westerhoff at the beginning of the season, to the current Westerhoff monopoly, although Van Praag asked Westerhoff not to interfere with the second team, but in fact, in many things, Westerhoff is still crowding out Ye Qiu, such as the scouting department.

Before Bobby? Harms mentioned that when Ye Qiu challenged PSV Eindhoven and Utrecht, he couldn't get information about the first team from the scouting department, and the crux of the problem was Westerhoff.

And in the end, the second team is still the second team, when the first team wants people, and when the second team has to hand over people unconditionally, Ye Qiu has no right to choose at all, so he can only obey orders.

If it was Ye Qiu, who had no influence and no fame before, he would choose to compromise, but now, he has enough chips and capital, he can shout loudly, there is no master here, there is a place to keep the master!

Can Van Praag blame him?

Blame him for what?

"I won't accept the letter, you keep it, think about it carefully, and then give me an answer!" Van Praag shook his head and pushed the letter in front of Ye Qiu, he didn't want to let this talent go like this.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Van Praag, I've already decided!" Ye Qiu pushed the letter back again, nodded at Van Praag, turned around and walked out of Van Praag's office.

After Ye Qiu left, Van Praag suddenly sat down on his office chair and stared at the office door in a daze.

He finally understood, what is Bobby for? Harms would have persuaded him.

He has always admired Ye Qiu because he doesn't like to fight for power and profit, but this does not mean that Ye Qiu likes to be passive and like to act according to orders, on the contrary, Ye Qiu just because he doesn't like to fight for power and profit, so he hates this complex environment, and he hates being restricted and excluded by others.

"Is it really irretrievable?"

…………

On February 9, 2000, in the 21st round of the Eredivisie, PSV Eindhoven hosted Ajax.

Since being eliminated from the Dutch Cup by Ajax II, PSV Eindhoven have put all their energy into the Eredivisie title race, which has made PSV Eindhoven's lead very obvious, and is now up to 10 points ahead of second-placed Heerenvein.

But even with the league title almost secured, PSV Eindhoven still did their best against Ajax in this game, arranging their strongest squad to face this sworn enemy who only wants to breathe fire.

Gerets has vented his anger and resentment towards the Ajax second team on this first team.

They won a near-perfect 3-0 win at the Philips Stadium thanks to goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Van Bommel to achieve a near-perfect victory, and Ajax could not pose the slightest threat to PSV Eindhoven throughout the game and had to accept the heavy defeat.

On the second day, major Dutch media and newspapers praised Eindhoven's performance, and also criticized Westerhoff's team, believing that there was already a case of Ajax II beating Eindhoven in front, but Westerhoff still had to kill himself and fight against Eindhoven, which was simply looking for death.

"If we play the second team in this game, we will not lose so badly, maybe we can win again!" The Amsterdam Evening Post used the second team's victory to highlight the first team's clumsiness, which is also the voice of Ajax fans.

Westerhoff said in an interview with the media after the game that the loss in this game had something to do with Huizinger's absence, but in the end, the Dutch center forward who has performed well recently will be absent, Westerhoff did not give a reason or explanation.

However, over the course of the following week, Ajax won 3-1 and 2-1 at home to Willem II and Graafschap, which immediately drew a wave of praise from the media that Westerhoff's side were out of the woods.

But a week later, Ajax lost 1-0 away from home.

The defeat was another wake-up call above Ajax's head.

March 18 is the big day of Ajax's centennial celebration, in the season has been doomed to be empty-handed, all Ajax fans are already full of righteous indignation, but if at this time, the team is still so lacking in combat effectiveness, it is bound to further ignite the anger in the hearts of fans.

As a result, immediately after suffering a defeat, Ajax's management called an emergency meeting.

At this meeting, Van Praag once again demanded that Westerhoff bring the first team out of their current predicament in the shortest possible time and ensure that the team does not suffer at home during the centenary celebrations.

At this meeting, Westerhoff confidently assured that the team has almost run in, he has enough confidence and certainty, and will be able to lead the team out of the predicament, and even promised that this season's Ajax will strive to participate in the UEFA Cup next season and continue to appear in the European arena.

That promise undoubtedly gave confidence to the management, but just a week later, the team was beaten by two goals at Fortuna Sittard, only to be beaten by two goals by the lower-middle Eredivisie side, and Westerhoff's side were ineffective throughout the game, attacking again and again in vain.

The two consecutive defeats before the centenary celebrations also cast a shadow over Ajax's centenary celebration clash with FC Twente on the night of 18 March, and many fans began to denounce the inaction of the club's management.

At the beginning of the season, Waters did not have a good run of coaching, and after the halfway point of the class, the temporary introduction of Westerhoff also did not improve, and the fans were very disappointed and angry at the performance of the club's management over the past year, and they wanted someone to stand up and tell them what was going on.

At the same time, some fans even came to the front of the square at the Arena Stadium and waved the flag for the second team to participate in the centenary celebration, indicating that the second team at least better than the first team is more in line with the spirit of Ajax than the first team.

It is also in March, after Ajax II reversed Feyenoord, they won consecutive victories along the way, and now they are 3 points ahead of Feyenoord II and are in the position of the leader of the youth team First Division.

Not only that, the second team also reached the semi-finals in the Dutch Cup, which also equaled the best second team result in the history of Ajax second team, the last time it reached the semi-finals was when Van Gaal was in charge of the second team, but Van Gaal also stopped in the semi-finals that time and could not go further.

In the minds of many Ajax fans, the second team seems to have become a mirror of the first team, and from the second team, they see the incompetence and lack of fighting power of the first team.

The 33-year-old veteran, produced by De Tokmmost, and later moved to the back of Serie A Lazio and Inter Milan. In an interview with the media, Winter criticized the slackness of some players in the team, including the newly introduced center forward Huizinger and the talented Portuguese midfielder Dani. Carvalho.

The former is Westerhoff's favorite general, but it has been more than two months since the introduction of the winter break, and he has not contributed in the slightest except for two goals, but has begun to appear more and more in the newspapers. Winter feels that this has seriously affected the unity within the team.

And the Portuguese genius Dani? Carvalho, Aron? Winter believes that the player has some problems both in training and in games, "At least he should use his strength to prove that he is worthy of this value!" ”

No one stood up to refute the accusations from the past feats, but the head coach Westerhoff gave an interview to reporters. Winter expressed his displeasure with the bombardment, believing that he should focus more on the field of play and not on bombarding his teammates.

The mutual attack between the manager and the main players also completely made everyone see the internal contradictions of Ajax, and also exposed the biggest problem of Ajax at present, that is, unity.

Even the Amsterdam Evening Post wrote an article asking, "How can a disunited Ajax beat their opponents on the pitch?" ”

Fans are even more worried about the current state of the club, and there are even calls for Westerhoff to be sacked, while there is panic within the Ajax first team, with many players even starting to contact the place in private.

All of this gives the impression that the ship Ajax is sinking!

It was in such a sad atmosphere that Ajax ushered in its 100th birthday.
