Volume 1 Chapter 95 Robin Hood

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Gretz seemed to be drained of his energy and sat in the away dugout at the Arena Stadium because he had lost a game that could have undone his entire season of hard work.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, Eindhoven's league game against Ajax is only 3 points, but Gretz knows that it is not just 3 points, but also a breath.

Last season's Dutch Cup was a shame for Gretz and PSV Eindhoven, which made PSV Eindhoven's league title full of shame, because they won the league title at the same time, they lost to Ajax's second team, a youth team, in the Dutch Cup, which made them even if they won the league title, it was never able to escape the ridicule of others.

"You won the league because our second team didn't make it to the league!"

See?

This is the humiliation given to Ajax fans after winning the league title at PSV Eindhoven last year, and even many Eindhoven fans feel that they must wash away the humiliation of losing to Ajax II in the Dutch Cup, otherwise Gretz will have to go out of class to apologize.

This season's PSV Eindhoven lost to Ye Qiu and his Ajax in the Super Cup again, which put him under a lot of pressure, which led to a surprise defeat in the first game of the league game, losing 0-2 to his opponents, but he quickly adjusted.

Unbeaten in 25 league games, PSV Eindhoven have the capital to be proud and proud of their performances.

But all of this, tonight, in this game, completely disappeared.

3:0!

The red electronic scoreboard at the Arena Stadium shows this striking number.

Entering the second half with a score of 0:2, Gretz's team began to want to turn the situation around and make a big comeback, but it didn't take long for Ajax to take advantage of a mistake by PSV Eindhoven.

After that, PSV Eindhoven completely lost their sharpness and the courage to get back into the score, and they lost the game completely.

0:3, this is also the most painful defeat for PSV Eindhoven so far this season, and it can even be said to be the most painful defeat in the two years that Gretz has been in charge of PSV Eindhoven.

They had never been so cowardly, as if in front of this young vote of Ajax, they were no longer proud Eindhoven, but just a group of lambs to the slaughter, weak and lacking the ability to resist.

The cheers of all the Ajax fans in the stadium sounded more like humiliation to the ears of Gretz and his players, bursts of whips, like whips, whipped on their bodies, whipped on their faces, making them feel ashamed and ashamed.

Even if they win the Eredivisie, so what?

If they can't beat Ye Qiu and his Ajax, they will never be able to prove how valuable their championship is!

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle, Ajax's head coach Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, frantically opened his arms, shouted loudly, and vented the depression in his chest, because this game made him full of fighting spirit and confidence.

No one could hear Ye Qiu's shouting, because the sound on the scene was too loud, but everyone saw the young Chinese head coach shouting with his arms outstretched, confident, and even a little arrogant, but so what? He was able to beat PSV Eindhoven, who were helpless in the Netherlands, and it was a 3-0 victory.

If anyone else can do this, then he also has the capital to be arrogant!

After the excitement, Ye Qiu calmed down and turned around to talk to Bobby? Harms, Ricklink, Van Basten and other assistants celebrated one by one, and then walked to the visitors' dugout, which is the demeanor of a host.

"Thank you, Mr. Gretz!" Ye Qiu stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand early.

Gretz pursed his lips in embarrassment, wanting to laugh, but couldn't.

His expression made Ye Qiu see it in his eyes, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.

After the last, Gretz didn't say anything, and after shaking hands with Ye Qiu politely, he turned around and walked into the players' tunnel.

Losing the game, the Arena Stadium completely turned into a stage for Ajax and the fans to celebrate, and in this situation, he would only become the object of humiliation and ridicule if he continued to stay here, so he did not want to stay here for a moment.

But there was one place he had to face head-on.

…………

…………

The influence of the Eredivisie has always been only spread around the Netherlands, so the post-match press conference is basically Dutch journalists, not a few people, only a dozen, even fewer than the press conference held by Ajax in the League Cup.

At the very least, there will be reporters from the countries where the away team is playing in the UEFA Cup!

Football reporters are usually best at what they do to fall into the ground, and want them to learn how to send charcoal in the snow, sorry, they don't have such genes at all, so in this press conference, Gretz replaced the owner Ye Qiu and became the absolute protagonist, and the reporters' questions were also very sharp.

"Hello, Mr. Gretz, can you tell us why PSV Eindhoven will lose 0:3 to Ajax?"

"What caused PSV Eindhoven to be completely incapable of resisting in this game?"

"Do you admit that it was your tactical mistake that caused PSV Eindhoven to lose this crucial game?"

"Will you resign because of this fiasco?"

"Do you think someone has to stand up and take responsibility for such a loss?"

Ye Qiu sat aside, he suddenly felt a little pity for Gretz, because if it were him, he would definitely go crazy, it would be miserable to lose the game, and he would be so scolded by this group of reporters, Ye Qiu would definitely be furious, and even scolded this group of reporters.

But Gretz couldn't do that, on the contrary, he seemed polite and personable, answering the reporters' questions one by one, but apparently his somewhat jack-of-all-trades answer did not satisfy all the reporters present.

"Mr. Gretz, before this game, PSV Eindhoven was the Eredivisie champion that everyone was optimistic about, but after this game, we believe that there will be many people who feel that Ajax has not actually lost hope of hitting the title, what do you think?"

As soon as the reporter's question ended, the reporters at the scene immediately pointed at the hapless Gretz.

"I don't think losing this game will affect our title because we are still eight points ahead of our opponents, which is a huge advantage, and Ruud van Nistelrooy has also participated in the team's training, so I believe his return will definitely bring a certain improvement to the team's attacking power!"

'Ajax undoubtedly played better in this game, but they have made too many mistakes and missed too many chances in the title race all season, and I firmly believe that the league title will belong to us PSV Eindhoven at the bottom!'

Gretz's answer satisfied all the reporters present, but soon, the next reporter threw the same question at Ye Qiu, it was obvious that this was what they had planned a long time ago, that is, to watch the two of them fight.

But Ye Qiu understands that at this time, it must not be soft!

"Yes, we are still eight points behind, but I want to remind everyone that two hours ago we were 11 points behind our opponents, but now, there are eight points left!" Ye Qiu smiled and said confidently.

When the reporters listened, they all immediately laughed, and they all had to admit in their hearts that Ye Qiu was more photogenic and more liked by the media than Gretz and even all the managers of the Eredivisie from image to words, and the only disadvantage was that he was a Chinese, which would make a few extreme fans reject this young manager.

"I hope this game will serve as a reminder to everyone who thinks PSV Eindhoven have won the Eredivisie ahead of schedule, there are 34 rounds in the Eredivisie, but now it's only 27 rounds, we still have seven more rounds, a total of 21 points, who dares to say that PSV Eindhoven will not make mistakes in the last seven rounds?"

"If someone is going to tell me that PSV Eindhoven will beat all their opponents, I will give him a free copy of the game to remind him that PSV Eindhoven is just a team in the Eredivisie, they can't win forever, they will make mistakes, and we will take advantage of their mistakes and replace them!"

Ye Qiu always had a confident and calm expression when answering these words, which made many reporters present feel his heartfelt fighting spirit, and it could be seen that this young Chinese did not give up because he was 7 points behind, and lost his fighting spirit, on the contrary, he now looks scrappy.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, I am a reporter from the Eindhoven daily newspaper, I want to know what you think about it, it has been rumored that you will be forced to leave Ajax at the end of this season?"

This is clearly to give Ye Qiu eye medicine, but as soon as this reporter from Eindhoven said it, the audience immediately paid attention, so that Ye Qiu didn't have to avoid it at all, and he could only scold this reporter and the damn directors in his heart.

'I have a three-year contract with Ajax and I've always felt that Ajax have been doing very well this season, I'm happy with my players, I'm proud of my players and I'm sure we'll be the most fighting team in the Eredivisie over time, so I never doubt me and my players.'

After a pause, Ye Qiu said: "The most important thing for us now is to reverse PSV Eindhoven, we are all eager to win a Eredivisie title, and we have always been working in this direction, I think, before that, it is not appropriate to talk about anything that is not related to this goal." ”

Ye Qiu's answer obviously did not satisfy the reporters present, because he did not answer this question clearly at all, he was just playing Tai Chi pushing.

Perhaps seeing that there were reporters pestering him, Ye Qiu glanced at the host of the club's news department.

The advantage of being at the door of the house is like this, there are your own people everywhere, as soon as the host of the news department saw Ye Qiu's eyes, he immediately changed the topic, and pointed out the reporter of the Amsterdam Evening Post, and asked him to ask the next question.

"Mr. Gretz, you and your team were determined and confident about the game before the game, but in the end you suffered a big defeat, do you think it will affect the Dutch Cup semi-final in three days' time? Will it affect the next league title race? ”

The reporter for the Amsterdam Corriere della Sera shifted the fire to Gretz, and when he asked, he focused on the tone of defeat, apparently revealing Gretz's scars.

Didn't you PSV Eindhoven give us an eye shot at the Ajax manager? We're also giving your head coach an eye shot to see who can make a fuss with whom?

Gretz's face was embarrassed, because the last thing he wanted to hear was defeat, fiasco, and so on, and it made him feel humiliated.

"We are a mature team, we win or lose a game, I believe our players are mature enough and rational enough to deal with their own emotions and morale, so I have no worries about this Dutch Cup game in three days' time, and I am more confident in the remaining seven league games, and the final title must belong to us PSV Eindhoven!"

If PSV Eindhoven beat Ajax 3-0 away, then Gretz's words would be full of weight, but the problem is the opposite, they are now losing 0:3 to Ajax, so Gretz's words are somewhat empty-hearted.

For Gretz's confidence, Ye Qiu smiled, but also issued a challenge.

"Three days later, still in this stadium, still in this press conference venue, the person who laughs the most must be me!"

…………

…………

Ye Qiu's challenge to Eindhoven immediately made the front page of the major Dutch newspapers the next day.

The league title race between Ajax and PSV Eindhoven has become a big event in the Netherlands, attracting the attention of all fans across the country, as Ajax are the only team to be able to deal a heavy blow to PSV Eindhoven this season.

Everyone has a Robin Hood complex in their hearts that supports the weak, so Eindhoven, who has been unbeaten for 25 rounds, has completely become a rich and fat-bellied rotten aristocrat in the eyes of many neutral fans, while Ajax has become Robin Hood who unveiled the uprising and robbed the rich to help the poor.

In this case, more people are more willing to see Robin Hood looting the fat nobleman and laughing at the fat nobleman to scatter his wealth, while the fat aristocrat is at the door of the house, watching the trace of Robin Hood's departure, and pounding his chest to the point of exploding.

Ajax fans did not hesitate to stand beside the head coach Ye Qiu this time, and they all supported the head coach's tough remarks in unison, believing that the ownership of the league championship should be reconsidered, after all, Ajax has not lost yet!

But there are still some extremist fans who scoff at Ye Qiu's remarks, believing that he is a Chinese and cannot beat Graetz Eindhoven at all, because he comes from a weak football country and he has no previous qualifications, why?

There are also some doubts within Ajax, and some directors led by Köllner even openly talk about Ye Qiu's whereabouts, among which Körner is even more interested in Advocaat and William II's Adrianse, who is far away in Scotland, and Ronald of Vitesse? Koeman offered an olive branch, believing that all three men fit the board's requirements.

"We need someone who understands and conforms to the Ajax tradition to take charge of the team, so that we can bring Ajax a real revival, and those foreigners, they don't know what Ajax is!"

Körner's remarks appealed to a small number of extreme fans, but they made more fans scoff, and many even criticized him, believing that his remarks were inappropriate.

Van Praag took back some of his power after the previous turmoil over the board of directors, but he could not stop the board from firing in the media, because this is a society of free speech, and they have a legitimate and legal opportunity to express their power, but it is precisely because of Körner's disregard for the interests of the club that he is isolated on the board.

Those who really love Ajax know that this is the best time for Ajax to attack the league championship, the League Cup, and the Dutch Cup.

The vast majority of fans are also unhappy with Kearnne's actions, and every day some fans come to the road between the Arena and Detokmost, to raise their flags and take a stand and resolutely sweep away the cancer on the Ajax board.

Meanwhile, Andre of the Ajax Seniors Fans Committee? Claran also stood up and supported Ye Qiu, believing that the team's current situation is all good, and Ye Qiu should continue to stay in the team even if he can't win the championship this season.

"We should set up a mechanism so that people who don't know football, who don't understand football, don't point fingers at the club's management, and I believe it's good for Ajax and for the team!"

Andre? Kraan's remarks were directed at Körner, who was on the board.

The latter immediately fired back, arguing that Kraan was old and, like Van Praag, had lost his former wisdom and that Ajax needed a younger, more ambitious chairman to lead the team.

"Let's not forget that the turmoil and chaos of last season has proven that they simply don't have enough leadership to take Ajax forward, so we need a change, a change from the top down!"

The more Kollner made such a fuss, the more he spread the target of the attack, and the less he won the hearts and minds of the people.

In the last season, the reason why they were able to use this set of methods to work was because of the team's poor results, but this season, although the team has only won a dispensable Super Cup so far, the progress made by Ye Qiu's team is obvious to all, and people who really understand football will not expect him to win the championship in the first season of his team.

In this case, since the team's progress is so obvious and the results are also very good, why bother with it?
