When Ye Qiu, who was wearing a straight casual shirt and black trousers, accompanied Van der Sar and Van Praag to appear at the press conference at the Arena Stadium, a burst of magnesium lights flashed frequently, and everyone focused their cameras on Ye Qiu and the three of them.

The host introduced to all the reporters present the purpose of this press conference, which is to witness the signing of Van der Sar and Ajax, which undoubtedly confirms that Van der Sar will belong to Ajax in the next four years.

'I'm very, very happy, Edwin is a goalkeeper of very quality and quality and I don't think he should be blamed for what happened at Juventus because it wasn't the real Van der Sar, so I'm convinced that coming back to Ajax, coming back to this place he knows well, he will be impressive!'

When Ye Qiu was interviewed by reporters, he smiled and expressed his expectations for Van der Sar's future.

'We are a very young team, but precisely because we are young, we need an experienced veteran to lead the team, and I have to thank Fred from our team last season. Grim, he's done a great job in the team and now I want Edwin to continue to play the role of the former European champion's goalkeeper in the team! ”

Ye Qiu's affirmation of Van der Sar was not unexpected by the reporters present, because everyone already knew that Van der Sar was personally introduced by Ye Qiu to Ajax, and it was not the idea of the board of directors, because in the current Ajax power system, the power of the board of directors in the field of football competition is even inferior to Ye Qiu.

"Edwin, first of all, welcome you back to the Eredivisie, can you talk about how you feel about the trip to Italy over the past two years, and how do you assess the new manager Ye Qiu and his next place at Ajax?"

Van der Sar sat next to Ye Qiu, looked at the head coach, and smiled, "I think the trip to Italy in the past two years was a wrong adventure, because whether it is from the team's tactical style or the communication and communication with the outside world, I feel very uncomfortable, maybe because this is the first time I have played abroad." ”

"I'm very grateful to the head coach Mr. Ye Qiu, when I was hesitant to stay in Turin, he and Ajax extended their hands to me, so I went back to Amsterdam, back to Ajax, and the moment I stepped on the Detokmoste and Arena stadiums, I had a feeling, a feeling of coming home!"

"I firmly believe that Ajax will be able to perform better and better under the leadership of Mr. Ye Qiu, because we not only have a group of very good talented players, but we also have a great talented manager!"

"Mr. Ye Qiu!" A reporter stood up with a sneer, "Don't you think it's a risk to bring in a goalkeeper who has performed badly at Juventus for the highest transfer fee in Ajax's history?" ”

Ye Qiu recognized it, it was a reporter from Italy, so he shook his head with a smile, "I never felt that this was a risk, because I always thought that Edwin's poor performance at Juventus was not a problem of player strength, but a problem of the team, which reminded me of a person, Henry!" ”

This counterattack came very sharply, and some people present even applauded directly.

Although Moggi has always been regarded as the most astute club operator in Serie A, he seems to be a bit old and dizzy lately, especially after Juventus reached its peak at the end of the last century, the Bianconeri have always been in a very awkward state, many players did not play at Juventus, but did well after switching to his team, the most typical of which is Thierry Henry.

Bad performance at Juventus, went to Arsenal and immediately flourished.

"Do you think Van der Sar's move to Ajax will be like Thierry Henry's move to Arsenal?" The journalist was not convinced.

"I'll prove it with facts!" Ye Qiu replied with a confident smile.

"Then we'll see!" The reporter sat down indignantly.

Although Van der Sar did not perform well at Juventus, his value was there, Juventus refused to drop, and Ajax could only choose to accept it in the end, so the transfer fee was as high as 7.5 million euros, which has created the highest price in Ajax's history.

For the team's heavy investment in the introduction of Van der Sar, the fans generally affirmed, and the five-member board of directors also gave support, Ye Qiu's recruitment has a nearly 100% success rate, looking at the group of players he introduced before, almost every one of them has become Ajax's right-hand man, so since he thinks Van der Sar is worth the price, then others can't refute it.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, this is the last question, we are all looking forward to it, after the introduction of Van der Sar, will Ajax continue to make a move in the transfer market? Do you have any new goals? ”

Ye Qiu shook his head, "I can say with certainty that Edwin is the most perfect piece of the puzzle in my tactical board, our transfer recruitment this summer is over, we will not make other transfer operations, and then we will start to enter the pre-season preparations for the new season." ”

Ending the transfer operation before the pre-season preparation is also a favorite strategy of Ye Qiu, because this can make the team more attentive when training and preparation, and save the players from worrying about the transfer at that time, and unable to devote themselves to the preparation.

In the preparation for this summer, Ajax has a lot of work to do.

Preparations begin in mid-July, with a two-week closed training camp in Amsterdam, followed by a warm-up match, followed by a training camp before the Amsterdam Cup at the end of the month and early August.

The other three teams invited to this year's Amsterdam Cup are from Serie A, the Premier League and La Liga, namely AC Milan, Valencia and Arsenal, which is also the second consecutive year that Arsenal have participated in the Amsterdam Cup.

Originally, Ye Qiu was considering inviting a Bundesliga team, because Ajax had to face the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in the European Super Cup, but in the end, because the schedule was a little wrong, so he had to give up.

As is customary in the Amsterdam Cup, Ajax met AC Milan and Arsenal in succession, and after the cup tie, Ajax will play another warm-up match against Valencia, and the schedule of the three games is kept tight.

After a series of warm-up matches, the team made a slight adjustment to usher in the Dutch Super Cup, also known as the Cruyff Cup, against PSV Eindhoven, and a week later it officially ignited the Eredivisie fire.

Ajax and PSV Eindhoven are scheduled for the end of November, and the matchup between the two teams has become the most interesting match in the Eredivisie this season.

Ajax, on the other hand, lost the league title at the last moment, and Ye Qiu and his players are also determined to regain the glory of the Eredivisie title they won.

After playing two rounds of the Eredivisie, Ajax will also participate in the UEFA Super Cup and Bayern Munich, followed by the draw for the group stage of the UEFA Champions Cup, which is also the first time Ye Qiu has led the team to participate in the UEFA Champions Cup and the first time to attend the draw event.

But all of this is in the future, and Ye Qiu must solve a problem next.

…………

…………

All those who have been in Detokmost for a long time know that Bobby? Harms was praised by everyone as a super Bobby, but this chubby old man was not a workaholic, especially after Ye Qiu took charge of the team, he was more like a consultant, and laziness became his main label.

If you want to find him, there are only two places, one is the coaching room on the second floor of the first team training building, he should be watching TV; The other is the medical department in the second team training area, and he came to talk to Van Dude.

Sometimes one should really admire the stubbornness, even the stubborn work and rest habits of the elderly comrades.

"Yo he, you came just in time, I was looking for you!"

As soon as Van Dude saw Ye Qiu walk in the door, he immediately almost didn't send him directly to Lord Bao's court.

"What's the matter?" Ye Qiu asked with a strange smile.

Fan Dude stretched his hands towards Ye Qiu, "You kidnapped my apprentice, and now I am doing everything big and small here, you say, what should I do?" Looking at his flushed expression, Ye Qiu could feel his kind of threat.

Look at Bobby again? Hams was smiling from ear to ear over there, Ye Qiu knew in his heart that what was most depressed about Van Doud was not that Huang Chu was gone, because Huang Chu went to Cambridge University to study, which was of great benefit to Huang Chu, and Van Doud was also very supportive, the key was that he was alone in the medical department now, busy with everything and had no time to accompany Bobby? Hams chit-chat is the key.

"Perhaps, I should find something for Bobby to do!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Van Dude was stunned, Bobby on the other side? Harms laughed and scolded, "What's the matter with me? Is he complaining to you? ”

Seeing the old fat man shouting grievances, Ye Qiu smiled, "If it weren't for you to seduce him every day, he would complain?" ”

Bobby? Hamston was speechless because it was the truth.

The two have a very close relationship, after all, they have been working at Ajax for so many years, and they have formed an extremely deep friendship with each other.

Think about it carefully, how many people in the whole world can dedicate their lives to Ajax for decades like them?

Seeing that his weakness and death hole were caught by Ye Qiu, Van Dude shook his head helplessly, "No wonder Bobby said it's useless, you are a cold-blooded guy, I will definitely tell Huang Chu!" ”

Ye Qiuha smiled, not afraid that he would say bad things about himself in front of Huang Chu, "Okay, I agree, Pim, just recruit two more assistants, you pick it yourself, I don't care, just hand it over to me to sign when the time comes!" ”

Now Ye Qiu not only controls the transfer of De Tokmost's players, but also has the power to appoint and dismiss personnel.

Ajax's healthcare system is not actually entirely dependent on the medical department, each echelon has a supporting team doctor, one for the younger age, two for some older age groups, and four for the first team, three of which have their own private clinics outside the first team, and one is based at the club to work with the team.

Ye Qiu invited Peter at the same time? Brandt became the team's strength and conditioning coach and set up a team of players to check his body, which made it possible for many first-team players to have injuries and other problems without having to go through the medical department.

But this is not to say that the medical department is not important, because the medical department is responsible for co-ordination, and at the same time, it also has to record some player data sent by various echelons and input it into the player data system that Ye Qiu built for Ajax before.

This system is designed to facilitate long-term observation and monitoring of the player's body data.

After a year of reform by Ye Qiu, the medical department is more like a medical data center, and Van Doud has gradually lost some opportunities to see players and more like a technical analyst of the physical data of players in the youth team.

How important this is for a team, especially Ajax's academy, Ye Qiu understands in his heart, so he decided to hire someone again.

Van Dude is also a naughty old man, he complained hard before, and after Ye Qiu promised him, he immediately laughed and did things, as if he was a child who had been promised.

"You're coming for me?" Bobby? Harms saw Ye Qiu walk into the reception room and asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu nodded and sat down, "There's something I want to discuss with you!" ”

Bobby? Harms listened and said nothing.

"I want Edwin van der Sar to be the captain of the team!" Ye Qiu's tone sounded more like an announcement than an inquiry.

This also proves that Ye Qiu is now more and more capable of adjudicating things, at least he doesn't need to ask others about everything, he has to go to someone to discuss when he encounters problems, he can now clearly know what he wants and what he should do.

Bobby? Harms is more happy about Ye Qiu's transformation, because he has seen firsthand how this young man, who is about to celebrate his 27th birthday, has grown from scratch to a qualified and outstanding head coach step by step.

"Change captains?" Bobby? Harms frowned, guessing Ye Qiu's thoughts.

"I can't talk about changing!" Ye Qiu smiled, "We actually didn't see a captain last season!" ”

Last season, Ajax were captained by Grim, but the veteran didn't actually play the role he should have as a captain, and even he kept a big gap between him and a group of young players.

Ye Qiu knew in his heart that there were many reasons for this estrangement, one of the very important aspects was that the age gap between Grim and them was too big to walk together, and Ye Qiu carried out a major purge of the old players and the players who were in their playing years, which directly caused Grim to be unable to integrate with a group of young players.

Speaking of which, players such as Van der Vaart and Kivu have more or less played the role of captain, but it is not obvious, after all, they are too young.

"Van der Sar is new to the team, but he is a former team to win the Champions League, and he has a certain influence in the minds of players such as Van der Vaart and Sneijder, this player has a lot of experience and a strong sense of professionalism, and I think it is very appropriate for him to be the captain of the team."

Van der Sar's personality is not actually the kind of captain who is very strong, similar to Keane, Vieira or Effenberg, in Ye Qiu's view, Van der Sar should be more like a step-by-step elder, his responsibility as a captain is to instruct the players how to win the game and lead this group of young teammates to defeat the opponent.

The players are too young and inexperienced, and even if they were to meet a tough guy like Keane now, it wouldn't necessarily work better than Van der Sar, because Keane's role may not be effective in a team so young, but Van der Sar will definitely work.

Bobby? Hams also knew Ye Qiu's thoughts, but he was a little surprised, because he didn't expect that Ye Qiu would be so generous and directly hand over the authority of the captain to a person whose prestige might even surpass him and threaten his head coach's authority.

This makes Bobby? Hams didn't know what to say, should Ye Qiu be confident? Or does he not know how to weigh them?

"It's easy to give the armband, but it's hard to get it back!" Bobby? Harms said lightly.

He has a good relationship with Van der Sar, but some things don't mean that he will be able to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, in case there is a problem between Van der Sar and Ye Qiu in the future, Van der Sar, as the captain, will become Ye Qiu's biggest threat.

"Don't worry, Bobby, if I can give it back, I will definitely be able to get it back, no one can shake my impact on this team, I have enough confidence in this, otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen Van der Sar!"

Bobby? Harms thought about it for a while, but he also believed that this team was brought out by Ye Qiu, and he even went to the board of directors for Ye Qiu's sake last season, which is enough to see Ye Qiu's influence in the team, and the captain's armband last season was on the veteran Grim, and he didn't see Grim cause anything.

"And what do you want me to do?" Bobby? Harms asked.

Ye Qiu Zhilu said that he agreed, and smiled, "I hope you can talk to Van der Sar privately, I hope that after he becomes the captain, he can better play the role of his old player, use his experience, his ability, and lead and help this young team!" ”

Bobby? Harms listened, nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll talk to him later." ”

Ye Qiu smiled and talked to Bobby? Harms spoke a few more words before leaving the medical department, where he had a business on the first team's side.

The team is about to train and he's definitely going to have a lot of things to do.

Watching Ye Qiu leave, Van Dude walked in.

"This guy is getting more and more like a manager now." He is also an old-timer who watched Ye Qiu grow up step by step.

Bobby? Harms smiled and nodded, "His progress is not only surprising to others, even I am surprised, in just two years, he has achieved results that many people may not be able to get in a lifetime, I can hardly imagine that in his hands, Ajax will become what the society will become!" ”

"Perhaps, stronger than Van Gaal!" Van Doud laughed.

Bobby? Harms smiled noncommittally and stood up from the sofa, "I'm also getting older, my body is getting worse day by day, and I still have no regrets about being able to meet a head coach like Ye Qiu, I hope to see him lead Ajax to the day of revival!" ”

"Surely, old friend!" Van Doud said with a lot of sympathy.
