Volume 1 Chapter 108 New Goals

"Am I like Louis? Van Gaal? ”

After the game, everyone was celebrating with a lot of enthusiasm, and the Ajax players and managers were arranged in the general interview area, waiting for the podium to be set up and the award ceremony to be prepared, and on the other hand, to be interviewed by journalists from all over the world.

It's a glory that belongs only to the victors.

"No, I never felt like Louis? Van Gaal, I don't feel like anyone either, I'm just like myself! ”

Ye Qiu's answer was unprecedentedly confident and resolute, because he now has enough confidence to deal with all doubts, because he won a League Cup, and it was won after defeating famous European coaches such as Capello, Houllier and Ferrer.

From now on, who is still qualified to question him?

"Mr. Ye Qiu, congratulations on becoming the European champion, I am sure that many people would like you to be able to say, what method do you use to lead such a young team to success? Is there a secret? A reporter who couldn't tell Ye Qiu smiled and handed over the microphone.

Ye Qiu smiled, "I don't have any secrets, but I think that any team must have its own core competitiveness, and we at Ajax have been able to get to where we are today because we have a group of players who are outstanding, but at the same time, they are all eager to prove their strength and succeed in European football." ”

"We are a team with a hunger for victory and a hunger for glory, so every game, me and my players will give it their all and we will try to do our best and win every game!"

Many reporters at the scene were convinced by Ye Qiu's words, because the current Ajax team does not have even a big-name star, they are a group of young players around twenty years old, but they form a strong European team that cannot be ignored.

What surprised everyone even more was that every player in this team was personally introduced by Ye Qiu, and they didn't spend much money on Ajax before, but now, after a season, they are all worth a hundred times.

Just like Ibrahimovic, Ajax spent $3 million to bring in the Swede, and the whole country questioned it, thinking that Ye Qiu must have gotten some commission from it, but a season later, Ibrahimovic, who has now scored a hat trick in the League Cup final, may be worth more than 10 million.

There are also Robben, who are now worth several times more than a year ago, and McConn, Gilberto? Players such as Silva, Lucio, and Keita have basically skyrocketed in value, especially Gilberto? Silva and Lucio, both of whom have been included in the Brazilian national team squad, have the potential to become Brazilian internationals.

It is conceivable that in a year's time, if Ajax were to sell players, they would make tens of millions of dollars from it.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, many people are worried that after winning the League Cup, your status will also rise sharply, coupled with the previous distrust of the Ajax management's distrust of you, will you leave Ajax because of this?"

Ye Qiu smiled, "My first choice is to stay at Ajax, because I have been in this team for two years, I have put a lot of effort and energy into this team, I have a group of outstanding players here, they trust me, and I can trust them completely, I am eager to continue to succeed here!" ”

"But there is news that the Ajax board of directors has confirmed that the person who will be at the helm of the Arenal Stadium next season is Advocaat!"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "I don't know, but I haven't received any news yet, I'm still the head coach of Ajax, and the person standing here in this game is still me, and I won't give any answer until I get a clear answer!" ”

"Mr. Ye Qiu!" Immediately another reporter handed out the microphone, "You said that you are eager to continue to be successful, can you tell us about your and Ajax's goals for next season?" ”

"Of course!" Ye Qiu nodded, "It's a pity that we lost too many points this season, because we lost too many points at the beginning of the season, which led to our final victory in the league in a comprehensive passivity, and we lost the league championship, which is very regrettable, so I hope we can make up for this regret next season!" ”

"And next season we will be on the stage of the European Cup, and my team and I are very keen to have the opportunity to play against the best team in Europe, which will be a training for us and will help us improve!"

"Mr. Ye Qiu, can you tell us about the rumors that Arsenal want to get Ibrahimovic?"

"Mr. Ye Qiu, I heard that Valencia intends to invite you to coach, is it true?"

"There is news that Juventus are preparing to sell their goalkeeper Van der Sar, and Van der Sar has expressed his intention to return to Ajax in an interview, what is your personal attitude towards this?"

Once the reporters were in chaos, the audience was in an uproar, and there was no longer the previous order.

In this group of chaotic people, Ye Qiu saw a familiar figure, that is, Chen Jun, a reporter from CCTV who had just interviewed him before.

"Hello, Jun Chen!" Ye Qiu greeted him with a smile.

Suddenly, all the reporters around looked at this strange Chinese and took the initiative to make way for him.

Poor Chen Jun was squeezed like a persimmon cake before, but now that people took the initiative to get out of the way, he was a little embarrassed, walked forward, smiled gratefully at Ye Qiu, and took out a notebook with a lot of questions written on it.

This interesting move suddenly made all the reporters around laugh, and Chen Jun's thin face turned red all of a sudden.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, I am a reporter from China CCTV, first of all, on behalf of all Chinese fans, congratulations on winning the League Cup, you are the pride of all our Chinese fans, I believe that tonight in our motherland, there are countless fans who are as full of expectations as me are standing by the TV to witness the historical moment when you reached the top of Europe!"

After Ye Qiu heard this, he was a little moved in his heart, but he was more proud, and he kept making thank-you certificates with his hands folded.

"We all want to know, what do you want to say to our fans at this moment?"

The microphone was handed to Ye Qiu, who had a serious face.

"What I want to say is......" This time Ye Qiu did not use English, but Chinese, "No matter what position we are in, what environment we are in, we should not be arrogant, nor should we give up on ourselves, because we must always be convinced that as long as we are willing to work hard and work hard, then we will be able to succeed!" ”

"In the past two years in Europe, I have always had a belief that I want to prove to all people that even in football, which is an area that we are not good at, we Chinese can also succeed, and what they can do, we can do it, and now, I have done it."

"But I'm not going to be satisfied, because next, I'm going to prove once again that I can not only do it, but I also have to do it well, do it better than all of them, that's my belief, it's my motivation, and I want to encourage all my compatriots!"

Chen Jun looked very excited, the recorder in his hand trembled a little, and his chest couldn't help but rise a lot, because at this moment he not only represented himself, he went abroad, he represented his motherland.

Yes, football has no borders, but football people have different countries!

…………

…………

The podium was quickly set up, right in front of the podium at the Westphalian Stadium.

UEFA President Johansen and CEO Olsen, as well as the presidents of Ajax and Barcelona, as well as the bigwigs of European football, all appeared at the stadium.

Today's League Cup is still very heavy, so the guests present are also very promising, at least not like the Europa League around 2013, which is purely chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it, so no one pays attention to it.

When Ye Qiu came to the area where Ajax was located, he saw Chairman Van Praag talking to the players, and as soon as he saw Ye Qiu, he immediately turned around and hugged him tightly, and said excitedly: "I have never doubted you, I have always believed that you can do it, thank you, Ye Qiu!" ”

Ye Qiu also firmly hugged Van Praag, without his support and affirmation, he would not have had the opportunity to take charge of Ajax, and now, he has proven himself, so he has always regarded Van Praag as his Bole in his heart.

In fact, in Ye Qiu's heart, there is a person who is more respected by him than Van Praag, and that is Bobby? Harms.

But the two of them were tired of being together all day long, and they didn't need to say any polite words, they walked over and made each other clear with a high-five.

"Ye Qiu!" Cruyff is also an invited guest today.

Today's Cruyff actually does not have as much influence on Barcelona as he did around 2013, at least he is not the godfather of Barcelona, but his status in this club is very respectful, he lives in Barcelona on weekdays, and at the same time he is from Ajax, so it is naturally impossible to miss such a game.

"Mr. Cruyff!" Ye Qiu shook hands with him politely.

"I just told Michael, don't let you go, believe me, stay in Ajax, you will be able to create miracles here, because there has always been a soil for miracles here!" Cruyff pointed to Van Praag and said.

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu nodded politely.

Cruyff also knew that he had little influence on the current Ajax, but on Barcelona was more influential, so for this sensitive topic, just say a word, purely to leave a little impression on Ye Qiu, set a set of friendships, and then discuss tactics more.

"To be honest, Barcelona lost this game completely!" Cruyff said bluntly, but won Ye Qiu's favor, "Ajax's performance is indeed amazing, whether it is the pressure in the midfield or the team's offensive routine, it is very outstanding, it is enough to see that you have put a lot of effort into this team!" ”

"I always feel like there's a lot of familiar stuff in your tactics!"

Cruyff joked, more like a joke, after all, there is no such thing as football tactics, each other is open source to each other, as long as you like, you can simulate or even copy anyone's tactics.

"Frankly, I've learned a lot from Michels, from you, from Sachi, from a lot of people."

Cruyff nodded, Ye Qiu's game also brought him a lot of excitement, because he began to feel that a very important reason why Barcelona has an imbalance between attack and defense is that the offense and defense are too clearly separated, so that they are a little disjointed, and if the frontcourt players do not participate in defense and pressing, it is also very dangerous to retreat to the back waist with the ball.

Possession of the ball at the back is better to avoid the opponent's defensive focus, but in this area, once the ball is lost, the opponent only needs to pass the ball again, and the threat can be directly created, which is a risk for any team.

Cruyff is indeed a very strategic footballer, and he sees the problem of hoarding heavy players up front, so he puts the ball behind, so he has to find a way to solve these problems in order to improve the risks that come with possession.

Of course, Ye Qiu didn't know that Cruyff was learning his tactical thinking, and even if he knew it, he couldn't help it, so he chatted with Cruyff over there without saying a word, and Bobby? Harms and Van Praag were on the sidelines.

Finally waited for the award ceremony to begin, as the runner-up, Ferrer led the Barcelona players to the podium one after another, they all looked deeply angry, but they lost nothing to say, after all, the 1:4 defeat was so shocking that they had no justification.

Can they say that they are unlucky? Or is it simply not playing well?

Ferrer is even more disappointed on his face, because he knows very well that his Barcelona journey will be completely over, and in the past few years in Barcelona, the year he has been in charge of the Barcelona first team, in the end, he has won this League Cup runner-up medal.

It's hard to say whether it's honor or disgrace, and what do you think of it!

Throughout the process, Johansen kept comforting the stars of Barcelona, many of whom are the best superstars in today's football, but lost to the young Ajax who did not have even one star, which really made this group of superstars feel sad and embarrassed.

Finally waited for the Barcelona players to walk off the podium, and the Ajax players began to line up, Ye Qiu stood at the back of the queue, slowly following the players in front, watching them go up one by one, and he slowly followed.

Ye Qiu has always searched for Huang Chu and Eliza in the crowd, and finally when he walked on the podium, his arm was twisted by an arm stretched out from the crowd, and when he looked over, he saw Eliza who was smiling and groaning, and the person standing next to her was not the pretty and moving, excited Huang Chu?

Ye Qiu waved his hand at Huang Chu and Eliza, he couldn't wait to rush up and hug Huang Chu firmly now, and let her share this joy and excitement with him, but he knew very well that Huang Chu didn't like to expose herself to the spotlight, she liked a calmer life, so he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

Reluctantly, he walked onto the podium step by step, and Ye Qiu came to Johansen.

"Congratulations, young manager, we are all so proud of you!" Johansen smiled and shook hands with Ye Qiu and hugged him.

As the president of UEFA, Johansen has always emphasized market-oriented operation, so under his operation, the Champions League has become the most influential club competition in the world, bringing huge benefits to all the top teams in Europe every season.

In this, Johansen knows very well that there needs to be a constant injection of some fresh blood, constantly bringing some new topics and new impacts, in order to bring a new round of expectations and excitement to fans in the world, so that the media in the world will continue to pay attention to the Champions League.

Obviously, the young and handsome Ye Qiu, as well as a young but powerful Ajax, are undoubtedly the best hype topics for the Champions League next season.

Ye Qiu did not bend over, but cherished the medal representing the champion from Johansen's hand, he shook hands with Johansen again, then Olsen, and then followed the player to the platform where the UEFA Cup championship trophy was placed.

The entire Westphalia Stadium seemed to be a sea of water, and all the Ajax fans celebrated wildly, some holding up their cards, some pulling out a long banner with various slogans, and some holding up their Ajax scarves.

Although it is only a League Cup, in their hearts, it is the second League Cup in the club's history, and it is far more than a Eredivisie title, so the excitement in their hearts is not lost to the team to win the Eredivisie.

And Ye Qiu's Ajax is so young and full of vitality, so that all Ajax fans are full of confidence and expectation for them, they are very sure that as long as they continue to give Ye Qiu time, as long as they continue to give him trust, I believe that he will be able to lead this young team to achieve higher glory.

Therefore, at the moment when the Ajax players lifted the championship trophy high, all the Ajax fans in the stadium sang the Ajax team song loudly, and they all shouted Ye Qiu's name in unison.

At this moment, they were finally completely conquered by Ye Qiu!

After that, Ye Qiu held the League Cup championship trophy and was thrown high into the air by all the Ajax players, and all the Ajax fans in the stadium screamed loudly, and they were also expressing their choice to the club's management in their own way, that is, to support Ye Qiu to stay in office!

All the Ajax management, including KΓΆrner, knew very well after this game that unless they were willing to risk the anger of Ajax fans, it would be impossible for them to remove Ye Qiu as head coach.

On the contrary, they are all beginning to feel threatened, because the butcher's knife of Van Praag's reforms has been on their heads for a long time and could fall at any time.
