Volume 1 Chapter 76 Rebellion
"You ...... Did you hear that? β
In the lounge in the players' area of De Tokmost's first-team training building, some of the players were playing electric, some were playing billiards or table tennis, but Van der Vaart and Sneijder were sitting on the sofa, the TV was not on, and they looked worried and worried.
"I've heard they're going to turn around!" Kivu's tone is very blunt, and once the Romanian hardens, his personality is also irritable.
Sneijder looked at Van der Vaart, and then at Kivo, his expression was very angry, "Why did you make a U-turn, even in the first five rounds, we are ranked higher than last season, haven't they seen the team's progress?" β
"It's like, before the season they said we were going to be relegated, but now we're in sixth, isn't that good enough?" De Jong is also very unwilling, he and Sneijder are Ye Qiu's core team, and they have been with him since U15.
"We don't know anything about the board of directors, do you want to find out about the situation?" Robben was a little worried.
"You know a fart!" Abidal on the side stood up directly, the French were the wildest in their group, "If you guys do it slowly, the leader has been killed a long time ago, and then we will all have to go back to the second team one by one." β
Speaking of this, many of the people here are full of worries, like Sneijder, De Jong, Maduro and others, they are all very young, only about 16 years old, and even Van der Vaart and Robben, if they are in other teams, are generally in the second team, and occasionally appear in the first team.
But in Ye Qiu's team, they got the main position and got more opportunities.
"I don't support a change of manager, I think the boss has done a good job, and a lot of problems in the team have been solved, but we ...... But I believe that if we give the boss and us a little more time, we will be able to do a good job! "Gilberto? Silva is the most mature of their group, and he is also the player that Ye Qiu relies on the most in the midfield position.
All professional players want their team to have a thoughtful and capable manager, and can patiently follow his wishes, let him build his own tactical system, no one wants the team to change coaches frequently.
For what?
The reason is very simple, every manager has his own set of understanding of football, some pay attention to the middle, some pay attention to the wing, some like to attack aggressively, and some like to defend and counterattack, they coach the team, they will forcibly instill their understanding of football into the players, and the players can only passively accept.
Ye Qiu is undoubtedly a very thoughtful head coach, and he also has good ability, which can be seen from the details of his tactical system that he constantly instilled in the players in his tactical preparation meeting, and it can be seen that he is also ambitious to create his own set of tactical ideas.
In order to do this, he brought in a group of players who fit his tactics, and he kept tapping the potential of these players, polishing their technical details and playing habits, and vigorously promoting young players, all in order to achieve his tactical ideas and complete his goals.
After a few months, this group of Ajax players have adapted to Ye Qiu's tactical ideas and have been integrated into this set of tactical systems, what they need is running-in, and what they need is time to improve a pothole in this set of tactical systems.
But if Ye Qiu is replaced at this time and a new head coach is ushered in, what will they do?
People are not blackboards, the tactical concepts instilled in them by Ye Qiu cannot be like chalk words written on the blackboard, erased and gone, if the coach is changed, they will need a period of time to forget what Ye Qiu instilled in them, and then spend a while to understand and comprehend the things of the new head coach.
They are all young rookies, they care more than anyone else, and before them, there are countless talented seniors who could have succeeded and even shined, but it was because of the early stage of their careers, it may have been just a change of coach, and they eventually disappeared from everyone.
They are all young, full of confidence and hope for the future, especially when Ye Qiu vigorously promoted young players to the first team and gave them opportunities and game experience, they have all established the desire to become a great professional player.
"Is there any way to help the head?" Lucio stopped playing billiards and walked over with McConn.
This group of people may have their own small calculations on weekdays, but at this moment, they have a common goal.
Everyone was silent, because they were all young and had never experienced anything like this.
"What do you want to do so much, go straight to the office of the Arena Stadium and tell us what we think, afraid of a bird?" Ibrahimovic coldly swept over the group of teammates, not understanding what they were hesitating about.
"Zlatan has a good idea!" Abidal was the first to speak out in agreement.
More and more people agreed, especially the Dutch gang led by Van der Vaart and Heitinga, who came through the Ajax academy and were the backbone of the team, and they all agreed with Ibrahimovic's suggestion.
The young man said he would do it, and a group of people walked out of the training building and headed straight for the Arena Stadium.
"Zlatan, aren't you the most unhappy on a daily basis? I'm worried about you holding you back! β
On the way to the Arena Stadium, Lucio, who has a good relationship with Ibrahimovic, approached and said that both of them were tall and strong goods, and they had quarreled on the training ground, but as the saying goes, they didn't know each other, and they became friends with each other.
"I don't like him, but who made him my landlord?" Ibu smiled coldly and didn't say much, but his pace quickened, as if he was afraid that Lucio would continue to pester him more on the subject.
"This kid is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, this is caring about our leader!" Abidal leaned over from the side and said to Lucio.
In addition to the veteran goalkeeper Fred, who is not very compatible with this group of young people, the first team? All 19 players outside of Grim, including Stekelenburg, rushed to the Arena Stadium, which quickly caught the attention of Ajax fans who were playing around the Arena and De Tokmost, and immediately realised that something was wrong.
I've never seen so many players act together, and they're all first-team, so is this going to negotiate with the president of the club? What is wrong with Ajax?
The players came to the second floor of the west stand of the Arena Stadium, and the administrative staff of the office who had heard the news had already stopped what they were doing and paid attention to it, they were all wondering, why did this group of first-team players suddenly come here? What the hell is going on?
"We're not here to make trouble, we're asking to meet with the chairman, Mr. Van Praag!" Van der Vaart is the team's vice-captain and Ajax's hopeful, and is familiar with the administrative side, so he will step in.
Van Praag was in the office and walked out as soon as he heard the news, and when he saw all the first-team players coming, his face sank, "What the hell is going on?" What are you doing here? Troublemaker? β
In the end, he was the president of the club, and his words carried a lot of weight, and he immediately suppressed this group of players.
"Mr. President, we are not here to make trouble, we are just here to express the opinions of our players, we hope that the club can keep Mr. Ye Qiu, because all of us trust and believe that he has the ability to lead the team, the team is not good enough in the new season, and we players are also responsible!" Kifu stepped out and said loudly.
It turned out that he came to intercede for Ye Qiu!
Van Praag couldn't help but value Ye Qiu a little more in his heart, at least he still had such a status in the hearts of the players.
It's not surprising to say, because this group of players is either introduced by him, or they are the team that defeated a strong team with him all the way last season, and finally won the Dutch Cup championship magically, if even they don't support Ye Qiu, then Ye Qiu can really be said to be a betrayal in Ajax.
"The directors are in the conference room on the third floor, let's go over there and say, don't make trouble here, you will be caught by reporters, and the impact will not be good!" Van Praag pointed to the roof.
The players are not stupid, they all know that Van Praag supports Ye Qiu, because he was the one who single-handedly promoted Ye Qiu to the first team, and it was the directors who really wanted Ye Qiu to step down, so they all understood in their hearts that Van Praag was reminding them to go up to the third floor to trouble the directors.
These boys are like tigers coming out of the gate, and they are majestic and high-spirited to the conference room on the third floor.
Kearner was chatting with several directors who had a good relationship, and also mentioned in passing who would be the team's head coach if Ye Qiu was out of class, including Van Gaal, who had stepped down from Barcelona and turned to coach the Dutch national team, as well as several famous Dutch coaches such as Hiddink.
As they got into the middle of the discussion, the wolf-like group of players burst into the room.
"Who said they were going to fire us?" Abidal was not short, very strong, black, clenched in fists, grinning, fierce and vicious, and really had a bit of a terrifying posture.
Ibrahimovic, Lucio, Gilberto? Silva, Huntelaar...... All of them can be said to be tall and tall, and they all poured into the conference room, which immediately silenced all the directors and looked at them dumbfounded, especially KΓΆrner, who was talking eloquently just now, couldn't help but tremble at this time, and sat on the chair with a pale face, not moving.
The players didn't do anything, but after walking into the conference room, they glared viciously at this group of soft egg directors who claimed to be gentlemen, bluffed them, and then Van Praag came out to appease the players, and assured that Ye Qiu's position as the head coach was absolutely fine, and it was a combination of grace and power, and it was finally able to suppress this group of players.
It didn't take long for Ye Qiu to hear the wind coming, and he was moved and helpless in his heart, these stinky boys were so nonsense that now there are reporters outside, and people who don't know the way still think that Ajax has turned the world upside down.
I have to say that in the struggle for power, Van Praag naturally has something extraordinary, with this time the player collided with the director, he immediately settled the player, but also suppressed this group of directors, and successfully weakened part of the board of directors, the reason is that the mistakes of Kellner and others led to the dissatisfaction of the players, so there was this incident.
While Van Praag was holding down the directors, taking back some of his power and recovering some of his prestige, Ye Qiu walked into the Arena with the players, and soon opened it to all reporters to enter the stadium to watch them have a training session at the Arena Stadium to familiarize themselves with the venue.
This is not on Ajax's original training plan, but the reason given by Ye Qiu is also very sufficient, that is, there is no need to completely follow the training plan, which blocked the reporters' mouths, but there are still some reporters who have caught some clues and began to report and render this matter.
In the mouths of many reporters, this matter eventually became Ye Qiu instigating the players to rush the board, so some fans who did not know the truth began to attack Ye Qiu, thinking that the Chinese coached badly, but he was clever in playing methods.
In this regard, Van Praag also held a press conference to give clarification, but there are still many fans who do not believe it, thinking that this is the club's compromise policy, and Ye Qiu has no way to do it, because he knows very well that it is impossible to change the prejudice of some people against him.
"No one can get everyone's support and affirmation, so I don't care what people think of me, I only care about me and my team, but no matter what, I'm proud and proud to be able to coach Ajax and to have such a group of players!"
In an exclusive interview with the Amsterdam Evening Post, Ye Qiu expressed his attitude towards the fans' rebuke of the incident.
"This season is the first season after the team is restructured, but I have great confidence in the team and the players, we have only one goal for this season, the league title, and I and my players will work hard for that goal, and I am confident that by the end of the season we will have a satisfactory result!"
Now that they have already made a military order with the board of directors, Ye Qiu doesn't care about shouting out his ambitions.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the 6th round of the league, Ajax welcomed the promoted Marosendal at home.
It has been said that in general, the first season of promotion horses is either very good or poor.
Unfortunately, Roosendaal falls into the latter category.
In this game at the Arena Stadium, Roosendahal were unfortunate to meet a morale-boosting Ajax team, especially after the previous storm with the directors, and the players were united one by one.
In the end, Ye Qiu led his Ajax to a 4-0 victory over Roosendaal at the Arena Stadium.
This victory was also interpreted by many media as Ye Qiu's self-redemption under pressure, believing that this victory over Rosendahl was like a timely rain, which resolved Ye Qiu's confidence crisis and allowed him to continue to survive in the position of Ajax coach.
Among them, the Rotterdam Daily made a prediction, in a fan survey, Ye Qiu ranked first in the list of the first managers to leave the Eredivisie this season, on the grounds that the Chinese did not bring Ajax the changes and progress that fans expected.
In the Eindhoven daily newspaper, Ajax was directly excluded from the competition for the Eredivisie title.
"Although there are only six of the 34 league games in total, Ajax are eight points behind Feyenoord, which is an incalculable gap and we have every reason to believe that the Eredivisie title in the new season will be a battle between Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven!"
PSV Eindhoven coach Gretz also announced after PSV Eindhoven's 2-0 win over Vitesse, "The strongest PSV Eindhoven has arrived, I am full of confidence in the team's next games, we will beat all opponents, get all the victories, and the final championship will belong to us PSV Eindhoven!" β
Four days later, Ajax hosted Slovakia's Bratislava and eventually defeated Bratislava 3-0 thanks to goals from Robben, Sneijder and Huntelaar, and eliminated Slovakia's powerhouse from the UEFA Cup with an aggregate score of 5-0 to reach the second round of the UEFA Cup knockout round.
Today's UEFA Cup format is an all-knockout format, with a two-legged knockout format from the first round to the sixth semi-final, with the seventh round being the final.
Unlike Ye Qiu's 2013, the Europa League, which was restructured from the League Cup, is regarded as a chicken rib, and today's League Cup is a very important cup competition in European competitions, second only to the Champions League, and the competition can also be said to be very fierce.
In the past few years, the competition for the UEFA Cup has been won by some of Europe's most prestigious teams, including Juventus, Inter Milan, Parma, Bayern Munich and other European powerhouses, while last season's UEFA Cup final was Galatasaray vs. Arsenal, and the Premier League giants were humiliated 4-1 by the Turkish giants.
Ye Qiu's strategy for the UEFA Cup is to participate and gain experience, and his main battlefield is still in the Eredivisie.
But after playing the League Cup, Ajax went away to challenge Heerenveen.
Although Ajax came from behind twice to equalise twice, they ended up with just one point on the road.
Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, also played away from home, but they both won a game, so the gap between Ajax and Feyenoord quickly widened to 10 points, and the goal of the Eredivisie title is getting further and further away.
After playing the 7th round of the Eredivisie, it was another two-week national team break.
This is undoubtedly a period of adjustment for Ye Qiu, even including the Romanian international Kifu, who stayed in the club because he did not have the task of playing for the national team, and all the Ajax personnel were in order to continue to stay in Detokmoste to train as usual.
Ye Qiu finally found the time to adjust his tactics well, and through training, let the players implement their own adjustments and prepare for the next all-out sprint.
