Volume 1 Chapter 14 Stars of an amateur team

The black player couldn't tell his age, after all, his dark skin believed his real age.

He is not small, he should be about 1.85 meters, his body looks very strong, and he is not very strong, but it gives people a very tiger-headed feeling, especially when he runs on the court, he is explosive and fast, his movements are very flexible, and he has the flexibility and momentum of a typical black player.

Ye Qiu and Roland watched on the side for a while, and they all found that the skills of this black player are not very good, they can only be regarded as having good basic skills, and they rely more on their own speed on the offensive end.

"That's what you're looking for?" Roland had already noticed Ye Qiu's eyes, and he couldn't see anything about this player.

Ye Qiu smiled, "Can't you see it?" ”

"I can't see it!" Roland almost didn't spray, and this guy's skills are a lot of them in the Ajax academy.

Of course, it is undeniable that his physical fitness is indeed very good, he has the physical advantages of black people, and because of this, he can rampage in the frontcourt, but such a person can enter Ajax?

"This guy is very diligent and hardworking!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"There are more desperate players on the pitch!" Roland also felt that this should not be a reason.

Ye Qiu looked at his assistant and reminded: "But how many people are so good in physical fitness, so fast, so able to run, and willing to fight so hard after going to the court?" You tell me about it! ”

At this time, Roland was really a little unable to answer, and began to feel that if he really wanted to talk about advantages, this could barely be regarded as one.

"And have you noticed, this kid's skills are not fine, but when he is stuck and defended, it is very interesting!"

When looking at a player's defense, the key is to look at these aspects.

First of all, whether he can detect and follow the opponent's air cutter in time, whether he can predict in time, and stand in his position, whether he can fill the hole in his defensive formation at the first time.

It also depends on the player's ability to select, whether he is accurate in his zone positioning and timing of his marking.

Don't look at him as a midfielder, but when his team conceded a goal, he did a good job in these aspects, plus he was diligent and able to run, so Ye Qiu felt that although this player was lackluster offensively, his defensive performance did have potential.

After listening to Ye Qiu's explanation, Roland suddenly realized that Ye Qiu had already said before, this time he came here, wasn't he looking for a defender?

"Do you think this guy has a future as a defender?" Roland couldn't believe it, looking at the appearance of this kid, at least he was in his twenties, and he was mixed in the amateur league, and his tactical awareness was definitely not very strong, so at this time, let him switch from the front to the back, is it possible?

"How do you know if you don't try?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Roland was speechless.

At this time, the players on the training ground had finished their training sessions and walked off the training ground one by one sweating profusely.

Ye Qiu greeted Roland and walked over to the black player, and at this time, the other people in the training ground were also aware of the two strangers who suddenly appeared, and they all immediately paid attention.

"Hello, I'm the second team manager of Ajax, my name is Ye Qiu!" Ye Qiu walked up to the black player, took the initiative to hand out his business card, and introduced himself, "Can I have a good talk with you?" ”

"Ajax?" The black player's swarthy skin didn't tell if he was surprised, but his eyes were wide open.

That's right, for him in the amateur club of the French regional league, the mecca of youth training Ajax is definitely a high-ranking existence, and when he hears this name on weekdays, he can only be in awe, where would he have thought that the coach of Ajax would come to the door?

"Yes, our scout here recommended you to me, Eric? Abidal, right? Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Roland on the side is wondering, when did Ajax's scouts pay attention to this guy?

"Yes, sir!" Abidal was somewhat restrained.

Ye Qiu tried his best to make himself look very kind with his smile, but in fact, his smile was indeed very friendly.

'I'm the second manager of Ajax and my team needs a defender right now and our scouts told me I should come here because there's a great player here!'

"Me?" Abidal was somewhat flattered, even incredulous.

"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded, but shook his head again, "I think your performance in the midfield and frontcourt is a mess!" ”

Without waiting for Abidal to be disappointed, Ye Qiu continued: "But I found that although you don't have too many bright spots in attack, you have the potential to develop in the back line, and I believe you should also feel this way, that is, on the court, when you take the ball and want to attack, you will feel overwhelmed, or always do some inappropriate moves." ”

"But when you don't have the ball and you go on defense, you know what you're supposed to do very quickly, right?"

This is what Ye Qiu found on the court just now, he feels that Abidal always seems to be very hesitant when attacking with the ball, but when defending, he is always very decisive, so he does not contribute much on the offensive end, more to play his speed and rampage, disrupting the defensive line, but he can always help the team in defense.

"How do you know the way?" Abidal looked at Ye Qiu with some dumbfounded, he even suspected that this guy was a roundworm in his stomach, he could know whatever he wanted, could this be the eyes of a real scout?

Ye Qiu pretended to be unpredictable and smiled, "This kind of thing can't be said, it can only rely on experience and judgment, but I can say with certainty that if you continue to develop in the midfield, you will only be able to play in the lower leagues at most in your life, because your skills can't support you to the top league at all, but ......"

After a deliberate pause, Ye Qiu aroused Abidal's interest, made him raise his head, and continued with an inquiry in his eyes: "If you move to the backfield and play as a defender, I think you have enough potential to become a first-class defender in France, or even a first-class defender in Europe, this is what I am here for!" ”

"French first-class? Top class in Europe? Ye Qiu's two words were enough to stun Abidal's head.

He has lived to the age of 20 in his life, and he has been playing football since he was a child, but no one has ever told him that he can become a first-class player in France, even in the amateur league, he has performed very well, but more people think that his highest achievement is to play as a substitute in a professional club in the lower league, relying on this physical fitness.

But now, an Ajax manager has come to tell him that you can be a top team in France, you can be a top team in Europe.

Dizzy, completely dizzy!

"I know it's hard for you to believe it, but there are many players who are buried for the rest of their lives because they can't find their correct positioning!" Ye Qiu was not in a hurry to convince Abidal, but looked patient, "Have you heard of Van Nistelrooy in Eindhoven?" ”

"Hmm!" Abidal nodded, this guy has scored a lot of goals in the Eredivisie, Manchester United, Real Madrid and many other giant teams are staring, in Europe, as long as you pay a little attention to football, who has not heard of him?

"You may not know what to say, Ruud van Nistelrooy used to play as a sweeper, then as a central defender, then as a midfielder, then as a midfielder, as a striker, and then as a striker, which is what Ruud van Nistelrooy is now, and I am very sure that if Ruud van Nistelrooy had always played as a central defender, he would never have been able to reach this height in his life!"

Ye Qiu told him this example, the purpose is to tell him that whether a professional player can become a talent or not, his own strength is very important, but it is also very important to find his own position and positioning.

Everyone has more or less the desire to become famous in their hearts, and they all want to prove their abilities in front of the world, but some people have never had the opportunity, and some people have the opportunity, but they have not been able to grasp it, only those who have the opportunity and can grasp the opportunity can realize their wishes.

Abidal, a black immigrant who lives in this small village on the outskirts of Lyon, loves to play football and wants to shine on the football pitch like the stars on TV, but in the past, he has never been able to find a chance.

Now, the appearance of Ye Qiu, the head coach of the second team of Ajax, is as if God has opened a door for him.

The point is, does he dare to take this step?

Just as Abidal was hesitating to step out of the alley, he heard a shout from the side of the court.

"Hey, who's seducing our player?"

Ye Qiu looked over, and saw a fat middle-aged French man trotting all the way from the side, looking at his body, it was not easy to walk, it was difficult for him to be able to trot, so he was out of breath, as if he was about to lose his breath.

"Eric is our Duxere signing, you can take him, transfer fee!" That fat middle-aged man is rightly arrogant.

Ye Qiu was stunned when he heard this, "Transfer fee? Aren't you an amateur team? ”

"Wrong!" The obese middle-aged man is very good at settling accounts, "We are not amateurs, we are semi-professional teams, and I have subsidies for them, so he is considered part-time with me!" ”

Amateur and semi-professional, this is really difficult to define, with or without a contract, especially when it comes to cross-border transactions.

"Uncle Benham!" Abidal screamed bitterly.

"Shut up!" The fat middle-aged man named Benham shouted, "If they want to take you away, then naturally they have to give us a transfer fee, otherwise how can a small team like ours continue to operate?" ”

Ye Qiu thought about it for a while, and suddenly knew the truth.

Running an amateur team in such a small place is indeed a lot of investment, and it doesn't look like a big deal to see this fat middle-aged man, and it's hard to get by, so as soon as I heard that a team came to poach people, I immediately made a bid for a transfer fee.

"$100,000, I'll take him away!" Ye Qiu also felt that it was not a big problem, so he should be generous to Ajax and support this amateur team to tide over the business difficulties.

"100,000?" The Benham gave a look of disdain.

But without waiting for him to bargain again, Ye Qiu shook his head resolutely, "I'm just a second-team head coach, and the price can only be opened to such a high price, if you can't accept it, then there's no way!" With that, he turned to Roland, "Let's go!" ”

As soon as he saw that Ye Qiu really turned around and was about to leave, Abidal was anxious, "Uncle Benham!" ”

Benham watched Abidal grow up, and was also worried about his future, as soon as he saw Ye Qiu leaving, he immediately shouted behind him: "Okay, okay, 100,000 is 100,000, it's better than nothing!" ”

Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows at Roland, and turned around with a smile, if he remembered correctly, Monaco poached Abidal from this side back then, as if it was paid 250,000 US dollars, so if it was calculated......

"In that case, then we will tie up an agreement immediately, and I will call Amsterdam again to ensure that you will not be missing a penny!" Ye Qiu decided to cut through the mess quickly and end this matter.

"What kind of agreement do you want, you take the person away, and you sign the contract with him!" Benham shook his head and sighed, it always seemed that he had suffered a big loss, but soon he came back to his senses, "By the way, Mr. Ajax, I also have a very powerful player here, his name is Pat, do you want to go and see it too, as long as 500,000, he belongs to you!" ”

Ye Qiu listened to the waterfall sweat on his face, daring to love this guy has tasted the sweetness and is ready to change his career to become a trafficker.

Finally got rid of Benham's entanglement, Ye Qiu made an appointment with Abidal, as soon as he arrived at Ajax, as soon as the contract was bound, 100,000 US dollars would be remitted to Benham immediately, after all, Ajax is so big, Abidal doesn't have to worry.

And because Abidal is part of an amateur team, there is no transfer period and he can play for Ajax immediately, although he will have to tell his family, but he promised to be present at Ajax's training camp on Monday morning.

After this matter was settled, Ye Qiu was relieved.

Originally, he was going to look for Frank? Ribery, but Ribery has always changed jobs in the past few years, and I don't know which team he is in now, or wait for the opportunity to find it slowly in the future.

But what he didn't know was that he had unknowingly offended another Frank.

A manager with a significant position in Dutch football!

…………

…………

Frank? Arneson is a proud man, and although his playing record is not very impressive, that does not prevent him from becoming one of the most famous club managers in Europe, and he has always believed in the principle that whoever has more strength should have more power.

Perhaps, this can also be understood as his inner desire for power, and that strong desire for control.

But he had enough chips to prove himself right and wise.

In 1994, he found an ordinary-looking, mediocre temperament, uneven teeth, and incisors that were very frighteningly exposed, while his hair was thick and unkempt, like a bird's nest, and the whole person looked dirty, a standard pauper from the slums of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

But at his suggestion, his agent paid $5,000 for orthodontics, his hair was straightened, and his clothes began to be tasteful, and after the World Cup, this man joined Arneson's PSV Eindhoven for $4.7 million, and then became famous, and two years later transferred to Barcelona for $19.5 million, setting a world record at the time, and he became the brightest star in world football.

He's Ronaldo!

This is the greatest pride of Arneson's life, but his most talked about deeds are not only Ronaldo, like Stam, who was poached by Arneson from Willem II and moved to the Red Devils three years later for a high price, and last year there was also Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was unknown at Heerenveen and scored 31 goals in 34 games after a season, and Ruud van Nistelrooy has become one of the brightest goalscorers in Europe.

All of this made Arneson proud, and his reputation in European football also grew, and even made him have the illusion that the players he fancied should follow him.

Not long ago, his network of scouts sent him a report on a striker in the youth team of Graafschap in Duttingheim near PSV Eindhoven, who spoke highly of him as the new Ruud van Nistelrooy in the Netherlands.

Van Nistelrooy was personally introduced by Arneson from Heerenveen, of course he knows the ability of Da Fanny, and he also knows very well the value of Da Fanny today, not long ago, he also released cruel words to the outside world, if he wants to get Van Nistelrooy, he will not use it in Eindhoven without 20 million US dollars, you can imagine how amazing the value of the new Fanny is.

In recent years, Arneson's operation in Eindhoven has become more and more excellent, introducing excellent semi-finished products at low prices, cultivating them a little, and selling them at high prices after excellent performance, which not only ensures that Eindhoven is becoming more and more competitive in the Eredivisie, but also makes Eindhoven make a lot of money on the other hand, and the financial situation is very good.

Of course, with Philips Group as the backstage, Eindhoven's finances do not need to worry, but Arneson is still proud of this.

But just as he was about to make a move on that Huntelaar, he suddenly received a message.

Accompanied by his parents, Huntelaar travelled to De Tokmost, Amsterdam, where he was received by Ajax II coach Ye Qiu, and the two sides signed a four-year professional contract, and Huntelaar has been an Ajax player ever since.

This suddenly made Arneson thunderous!

"Ye Qiu?" For this person, Arneson has no impression at all, he doesn't even know when such a person suddenly appeared in Ajax, but it is obvious that this person has broken his wishful thinking!

A Huntelaar was nothing to Arneson, but he felt offended, because Duttingheim was right under his nose, and Huntinglaar was the man he had his eye on, which was tantamount to snatching the flesh from his mouth, and he couldn't bear it.

"Sooner or later, you'll have to pay the price!" Arneson has since remembered the name, which is very difficult for him to pronounce.
