Thursday, October 28, 1999, morning, fine weather.

When Ye Qiu walked out of the hotel door, he saw Roland? Shepas's coquettish red Volkswagen third-generation Polo stopped on the side of the alley and walked over with a smile as he honked his horn vigorously at him.

"A big man drives a red Volkswagen, you're really sassy!" Ye Qiu sat directly in the passenger seat, a little crowded.

Roland waited until he sat down and fastened his seat belt before starting the car, the whole car was shocked, it was a second-hand car, it had been four or five years, and in the hands of Roland, a novice, he didn't know how to cherish the car, so you can imagine how badly this car was abused by him.

"I just like red, can you handle it?" Roland shot back, "If you know how to talk about others, it's better to talk about yourself, how uncomfortable it is to live in such a broken hotel, it's better to rent a house elsewhere, and then buy a second-hand car, and commute to work easier!" ”

Ye Qiu was still a little moved when he heard it, the car was more troublesome, because he didn't have a driver's license, and he didn't know how to drive, it was okay to take a ride, but if you bought a car, there would be a lot of problems, but it was a house, and he had also considered renting a house, after all, it was not suitable to stay in a hotel for a long time, and the cost was more expensive.

But he also has his own worries, because if he hasn't decided now, renting a house will have to be tied to a contract for at least half a year at a time, in case he suddenly has to leave Ajax and Amsterdam, wouldn't it be a loss?

Therefore, there is no hurry in this matter for the time being, and we will finish the things in front of us first.

Polo is very popular in the Netherlands, the advantage is that the safety performance is better, the body is heavier, the shape is not bad, it is called a small tank by the Dutch, it is conceivable that the most outstanding advantage of this car is wear-resistant, which is the main reason why Roland chose it as the first car in his life.

Driving in the southeast new city, Ye Qiu felt a very familiar impression, and he thought of his motherland.

There are large new construction sites everywhere, the sound of rumbling machines can be heard everywhere, and even many sections of the road are bumpy and dusty, but they give people a sense of prosperity.

Without development, without construction, where is the beautiful city?

"It won't be long before the area around the Arena becomes the busiest area in Amsterdam!" Roland excitedly introduced Ye Qiu to the future prospects of the new southeast town, which will become the commercial core of Amsterdam.

Ye Qiu also had to admire Michael? Van Praag's ability, although the former Olympic Stadium was located in the northern part of Amstelveen, in Amsterdam's affluent district, next to the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and closer to the city, it was far less promising than the new south-eastern city in every respect.

Of course, for the time being, it will be better there, but the southeast new city will catch up sooner or later.

Therefore, people must not only have a vision, but also know how to make trade-offs!

"When you go back, you go to the medical center immediately and ask for a physical report of the B2 players yesterday afternoon!" Ye Qiu explained.

There was a training session this morning and a match against the B1 team in the afternoon.

For this game, for this gamble, Ye Qiu has not relaxed in the slightest in the past two months, almost every day is Detokmoste and the hotel, two points and one line, and everything else has been put down, so he doesn't want to lose.

If there is anyone else in the entire Detokmoste who wants Ye Qiu to win, it is estimated that only Roland.

Although this friendly Dutchman has only been with Ye Qiu for two months, he has been tied to a rope with Ye Qiu, advancing and retreating together, and the personalities of the two of them are also very complementary, Roland belongs to the kind of character who is more accustomed to obeying orders, while Ye Qiu likes to take the initiative everywhere.

"What about the morning training?" Rowland asked.

Ye Qiu thought for a while, "There's no need for any special training, it's still the same, continue to train with one touch of the ball!" ”

In the first half month of the bet, Westerhoff also arranged some James with great interest? Bond came to peep and study Ye Qiu's training arrangements and tactics, but as the tactics of the B2 team were the same later, and the training remained unchanged, he felt that there was no need to continue researching, and the stalking was relaxed.

But even so, Ye Qiu was still not prepared for any special training, many of his ideas had been instilled in the players in the 8-on-8 and 4-on-4 training arrangements, and he was already well prepared.

"Don't worry, Roland, this is the way things are in this world, do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!" Ye Qiu patted Roland's shoulder and comforted him, he could sense that this guy was nervous, because he honked his horn vigorously along the way.

In Ye Qiu's opinion, if he did his best, it didn't matter if he could achieve his goal.

"How's the preparation, Ye Qiu?"

In the morning, the training of the B2 team was still the same as usual, it was very peaceful, Ye Qiu never mentioned the game in the afternoon, he didn't plan to put more pressure on the players, and at 15 o'clock in the afternoon, Michael? Van Praag with first-team coach Waters and technical director Rafael Leao? Ben Hack and the others arrived at the humble pitch next to the first-team training ground.

Chairman Ajax has a good impression of Ye Qiu, what is it to see Ye Qiu, everyone, including Ye Qiu himself, doesn't know what to do, maybe it's because of what he said before, Ye Qiu's personality and style are very similar to a person.

But who it was, Ye Qiu didn't know what to say.

"Everything is ready!" Ye Qiu smiled faintly and replied.

Michael? Van Praag smiled when he heard this, "You don't seem to pay much attention to winning or losing." ”

Ye Qiu shook his head, "No, I also attach great importance to it, but I don't want to affect my judgment because of it, I think the more critical the moment, the more I should stay calm and rational." ”

Leo? Ben Hack nodded when he heard this, "This is the basic quality that a manager needs to have!" ”

As soon as he said this, Waters next to him was a little uncontrollable, because in recent times, he has given people the impression that he is not pampered and not surprised, but that his emotions fluctuate greatly, losing and winning are two completely different attitudes and moods, and Ajax is also a little worried about his ability to control his emotions, and Leo? Ben Hack's words seemed to pick at his scars.

"If you lose and you can keep that mentality, then I will admire you!" Westerhoff didn't know when the road would arrive, and took Leo with a sneer? Ben Hack's words go.

His team has been in excellent form and performance recently, especially Van der Vaart, whose performance is even more impressive, and everyone can see that Westerhoff's tactical formation is arranged around Van der Vaart's core, giving full play to Van der Vaart's individual ability.

Because of this, almost everyone thinks that Westerhoff will win, and Westerhoff himself once said in a high-profile manner that this gamble will decide the outcome in one game, that is, he can completely defeat Ye Qiu's B2 team in just one game.

Leo? Ben Hack listened to Westerhoff's words, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, in his opinion, Westerhoff, as a head coach, although not top-notch, but many aspects of the ability is really good, but the heart of competition is too strong, which greatly limits his achievements on the road to coaching.

If the head coach is compared to a sword, the edge of the real sword must be hidden in the scabbard, if it is not exposed, it will be seen as soon as it is exposed, and from time to time it will be taken out to play a sharp game, such a sword is not called a sword, it is broken copper and iron!

Westerhoff didn't pay attention to Leo either? Ben Hack's face, he has never been a man who likes to be subservient, not to mention that he now has enough chips, so there is no need for him to look at Leo again? Ben Hack's face acted.

"Ye Qiu, do you remember our agreement?" Westerhoff reminded with a smile.

"Of course, you don't have to remind me!" Ye Qiu replied with a smile.

Westerhoff nodded, "That's good, we have to talk about it first, if anyone loses, they will have to submit their resignations tonight!" ”

"No problem, whoever doesn't leave Detokmoste is a turtle bastard!" Ye Qiu agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that the opponent was not afraid, Westerhoff was not very happy in his heart, and sneered with a little disdain, "I'll see how you get out of Detokmost, don't cry and beg me when the time comes!" ”

"Each other, each other!" Ye Qiu faced it head-on.

…………

…………

When the line-up of both sides appeared on the second team court, there was actually nothing too unexpected in it.

Whether it is Westerhoff or Ye Qiu, the lineup arrangement of the two is still the same.

The B1 team has 17 players, and the B2 team has only 16 players, and the number of both teams is not large, and the lineup that can be put together is actually clear at a glance, so there are no new tricks to play.

De Tokmost's in-house games are also often arranged, with the aim of increasing the experience of the youth teams playing against each other, so everything needed for the game is readily available, including the referee, linesman and caddies.

Ye Qiu and Westerhoff are on the sidelines, because it is the court of the second team, so the facilities are very simple, under the canopy is a long row of wooden benches, it is hard to sit on, it is not very comfortable, but now no one cares, and they all pounce on the court.

In the improvised stands behind the canopy, there are some fans who have heard the news, as long as they have an Ajax membership card, they can come in for free to watch this game, and the club's president, Michael? Van Praag and the others sat on the rostrum in the center, waiting for the game to start with full attention.

With the referee's whistle, the players of both teams immediately began to move.

The first to serve was the B1 team, and after seeing the B1 team kick off, they quickly passed the ball from front to back, directly to the feet of Heitinga, the Ajax new Coman stopped the ball, quickly dribbled forward and advanced, and then peeped into a gap, directly with a big foot, wanting to pass the ball to the front of the penalty area.

But the B2 team had already prepared for this hand from Heitinga, De Jong firmly grabbed ahead of Van der Vaart, and the header pushed Heitinga's long pass back, although the ball still fell into the hands of the B1 team, but the B2 team's defense was already in place.

An offensive defeat did not affect the offensive passion of the B1 team, they began to reorganize a new round of attack, but the focus was still on Van der Vaart in the frontcourt, but this time, Ye Qiu specially arranged De Jong's targeted follow-up defense Defatt, and then let Maduro close at the front of the defensive line.

In just 5 minutes, after the B2 team experienced three attacks from the B1 team, everyone saw Ye Qiu's tactics clearly.

"Hold on?" Westerhoff sneered at Ye Qiu in the distance, his heart full of disdain.

You must know that Ajax's most admired thing is attacking, and it has always been an active offensive football to flaunt itself, how could he ever use Ye Qiu's stubborn tactics?

"Keep attacking me!" Westerhoff left his seat, walked to the sidelines, and shouted loudly.

Turning his head sideways, he glanced at Ye Qiu, as if to say, boy, see how long you can keep!

But Ye Qiu remained silent, and continued to sit in the coach's seat, watching the game intently.

The benefits of having two full-time players in the middle of the midfield are clear, especially when it comes to freezing and restricting Van der Vaart, making the talented player with high hopes from Ajax uncomfortable.

At least, he has never been blocked in the Dutch youth league, and wherever he goes, there will always be at least one defender around, especially De Jong, who can't shake off like a dogskin plaster.

The offensive mode of the B1 team is actually very simple, typical of Ajax's 433 tactical model, the attacking point is generally launched from two points, either Heitinga on the central defender, or Van der Vaart on the 10th position, and Ye Qiu's defensive purpose is to cut off the connection between these two players and let them fall into a lonely battle.

However, because they invested more in defense, and they did not have an advantage in terms of strength, the B2 team was at an absolute disadvantage on the field, and even a little pressed and played, which looked very passive.

"If you keep playing like this, the B2 team will be breached sooner or later!" Leo? Ben Hack shook his head.

He was still thinking that maybe the arrogant Chinese could have any weapons, but when he saw the formation of the two sides, he was disappointed, because Westerhoff still failed to change the problem of Ajax's 433 formation, and Ye Qiu simply put on a defensive counterattack.

This, from a tactical point of view, has not the slightest merit for either side.

From Leo? Ben Haaker's assessment, even Waters can't refute it, because in the entire Ajax management, there is no one better than Leao, who has been immersed in football tactics for decades? Ben Hack is more discerning, and in Waters' view, the tactics adopted by Ye Qiu are simply self-defeating.

Ajax's tradition is to attack, but Ye Qiu put on a defensive counterattack, isn't that to ask for nothing to Ajax?

"From a tactical point of view, the strength of the B2 team is not as good as the B1 team, and the opponent also has Van der Vaart, so Ye Qiu thinks about defense first, which is a wise choice at the tactical level!" On the contrary, it was Van Praag, who sounded a bit protective of Ye Qiu's tone.

Leo? Ben Hack also nodded and smiled, "That's true, but if there is no way to turn the situation around, how can he win this game?" Or maybe he wasn't ready to win the game from the start, he was asking for a draw! ”

Van Praag smiled after hearing this, he seemed to have a lot of confidence in Ye Qiu, shook his head and said: "He should have a back move, at least I don't think he is like a person who is willing to ask for a draw!" ”

This is definitely Van Praag's intuition about Ye Qiu, but more because he feels that Ye Qiu is very similar to that person, so he naturally feels that Ye Qiu, like that person, is a person who would rather take risks to win than be willing to draw.

But is that really the case?

Time passed minute by minute, Ye Qiu's B2 team was still able to withstand at first, and the defense was still orderly and full of order, but as the B1 team's offensive investment became larger and larger, the defensive pressure faced by the B2 team also increased.

In this case, Ye Qiu occasionally made some adjustments to the defense, and later simply let the team's striker Rui be responsible for harassing Heitinga, and also began to invest more troops in the defense, putting on a posture of vowing to defend to the end.

But even so, the B2 team is still in danger in front of the goal, and many people who care about it are shocked.

"If you continue like this, it's not a way, it's time to make a move!" Roland knew Ye Qiu's intentions, and immediately urged.

The current situation gave him the feeling that the goal would be opened at any moment.

Ye Qiu glanced at this uncontrollable assistant, smiled, and didn't look at him again, but he didn't have any intention of agreeing.

"Roland, do you know what a trump card is?"

Roland was so angry that he just wanted to punch him, it's all at this time, what's the use of going around these things that you don't have?

Ye Qiu didn't take it to heart, and continued: "The so-called trump card is to be in your own hands, when I want to play, how to play, I will play when I want, that is called a trump card, if the enemy provokes a little, I will hurriedly play out to deal with it, then it is not a trump card, it is a playing card!" ”

Roland couldn't refute Ye Qiu's trump card theory, but he didn't agree with it, because he felt that the current situation was already very dangerous, and if he didn't adjust, he would probably be scored.

"The real trump card, lethality absolutely does not need to be doubted, the key is timing!" Ye Qiu didn't pay attention to Roland anymore, as if he was talking to himself, his heart was also very nervous, his heartbeat was also accelerating, and he also needed to use some words to convince himself to calm down.

"Either you don't fight, if you want to fight, you must completely defeat the opponent, so that the opponent has no chance to fight back, that is the trump card!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu's eyes stared at the situation on the court like a wolf, and he began to become calm and composed.

He was sure to beat Westerhoff's side, but only at a certain timing.

Therefore, he has to wait, even if the door is broken, he still has to wait!
