At half past eight o'clock in the morning, the scorching sun has diligently swayed his golden heat, baking Madrid, a modern city with many high-rise buildings, so that all people living here can feel the heat of summer.

Florentino sat in the back seat of his luxurious Audi AR, feeling the comfortable temperature of the air conditioning in the car, obliquely through the window, looking out of the car to the city of Madrid, almost every intersection, you can see anxiously waiting for the traffic lights.

As the president of a large group, he knows very well that it is this group of people who have created the prosperity of Madrid, so every time this time, he can't help but show a trace of arc, but it is not obvious, because he is already very stingy with smiles.

"Boss, the Santiago Bernabeu?" The driver sitting in the front seat looked back and asked.

Florentino nodded, but did not speak, because he knew that the driver would see his movements in the rearview mirror, but soon, he thought of something again, "stop at the newsstand at the intersection in front of you, as usual"

As usual, this is something that only the driver can understand, so the driver in the front seat nods in agreement.

When the light was green, the car drove forward slowly.

It can be seen that the driver is very familiar with the surrounding area, and he knows how far there is a newspaper kiosk in front of the road, so he turned his turn signal in advance, leaned on the side of the road to slow down, and stopped in front of the kiosk accurately.

I got off the bus, got in front of the newsstand, paid the money, and quickly got back five newspapers, as always, close to Barcelona's [World World Sports Newspaper] and [Daily Sports Newspaper], close to Real Madrid's [Marca] and [River], and although it is from Madrid, it is a relatively neutral comprehensive newspaper, and one of the most influential newspapers in Spain, [El País].

The driver was in a hurry to pay for the newspaper and did not pay attention to it, but when he returned to the car and handed the newspaper into Florentino's hands, the latter was obviously slightly startled by the cover of the newspaper.

The reason is very simple, the front page headlines of these five newspapers today are all about the news of Barcelona's disastrous defeat at the Camp Nou last night, although the headlines are different, but the content is similar, but the cover they chose is the same person, a Chinese with black hair and yellow skin, which is a rare high-standard treatment in Spanish newspapers.

"Boss, this person has been very popular recently" The driver also noticed, and said with a smile before driving.

Florentino sat in the back, looking at the cover characters on the five newspapers, Ye Qiu gave him the feeling of being young and handsome, I heard that he was not yet thirty years old, but his image was very healthy, very young, and very malleable, and judging from various rumors in the past, this person was very stardom and belonged to the kind of person who could attract media attention.

"Do you know him?" Florentino said casually.

The driver was a middle-aged man, steady, and smiled after hearing this, "My daughter likes him very much." ”

"Your daughter is also a fan of his." Florentino was a little surprised, an Oriental, is this possible?

"I don't know, but I heard that he is still very influential, but he is still in the Eredivisie, and his reputation is not very big, but you know, young people nowadays sometimes don't like to follow the crowd and like to be unpopular." After saying that, the driver couldn't help but laugh.

Florentino couldn't help but laugh, he also had to admit that Ye Qiu is indeed quite aura, and Ajax's performance recently is indeed very eye-catching, and the limelight has almost overshadowed Real Madrid.

"How about bringing him to Real Madrid?" Florentino asked suddenly.

As soon as the driver heard it, he was happy, "That's the best" He is also a fan of Real Madrid, and naturally hopes that the best players and managers in the world are in Real Madrid, as long as they are a little famous, it doesn't matter.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head again, "Don't be, boss, I think Bosque is very good now, there is a great hope of winning the league, although we lost at the Meazza Stadium, but the possibility of advancing to the final is still very high, maybe he can still defend the Champions League, he is much better than Ye Qiu." ”

At the mention of Bosque, Florentino's face stiffened a little and he didn't speak.

The driver also realized this problem and immediately wisely silenced him, if he did not know how to shut up and continue to chatter at this time, he would not have been able to be Florentino's driver at all.

To put it bluntly, the leader's drivers must be their own henchmen.

Regarding Florentino's dissatisfaction with Bosque, it is not very obvious outside, originally after the centennial celebration that the team lost and was handpicked by Florentino as not to lose, Bosque's resignation was very loud, but as the team's results gradually improved, it seems that everyone began to call for him to stay in office.

In Florentino's life, he has never been slapped in the face like this, and the centennial celebration against Deportivo La Coruna was the only time, in front of all the Real Madrid fans, in front of all the VIPs he specially invited, naked by his own team, by his own manager.

Yes, he knows very well that no one dares to say that he will win the football game, but at least you can't win it, you can also give me a draw, right? But you lost, didn't that mean I couldn't get off the stage in front of all my friends and VIPs?

Florentino has always had some opinions about Bosque, thinking that the coach of Real Madrid's blood lacks star temperament, although he has a good relationship with the superstars, but he is too weak, as the president of a large group, Florentino knows very well that the dressing room of Real Madrid, which is in charge of the star-studded Real Madrid, must not be soft, and if it is soft, it will not be able to control the scene.

Bosque has indeed contributed a lot to Real Madrid over the years, there is a championship every year, but in Florentino's eyes, the input and output are seriously inconsistent, with Real Madrid's lineup, the three-line battle is not exaggerated, but the team can only win on one front every year, which does make him dissatisfied.

In the eyes of many people who are familiar with Florentino, although the Spanish rich man has never said anything, everyone knows that since the centennial celebration was lost, Bosque has been destined to be fired, the key is, who is his successor?

Florentino has many offices in Madrid, and his group has many branches, each of which has his office, but his favorite is the administration department at the Santiago Bernabeu, because on the wall of the corridor leading to his office hangs large photos of Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo.

Standing on the edge of the hallway, looking at the three photographs, next to Florentino stood Baldano, the Argentine had something to discuss with Florentino, and he was used to it, and Florentino lingered in front of these pictures every time he walked into the office.

Everyone has something they are most proud of in their heart, and no matter how much they have an aftertaste, they will not get bored.

There is no doubt that the star-studded Real Madrid is Florentino's proudest achievement in his life, even more than the business empire he managed to fight, because only by becoming the chairman of the Galaxy Battleship can he really have the pride of being admired under one person and above ten thousand, so that he can hold his head up even in the face of any celebrity in the world.

"I've always felt like, there should be another one here, no, a lot." Florentino laughed.

His wish is not mysterious, and that is to make him the best superstar in the world in every position.

Baldano feels that it doesn't matter if a superstar is not a superstar, the important thing is that the team has to be a whole.

Sometimes he also felt that Bosque was too soft and the stars were too casual, which made the horses seem too loose in many cases to blend into a strong whole.

Of course, he also admits that the constant introduction of superstars is a big test for any manager.

But for a person like Florentino who manages a large consortium, you don't have to shirk the tasks assigned to you by your boss, and you shouldn't find any reason, it's your ability to do it, and if you can't do it, it's your lack of ability.

Therefore, in Florentino's view, the head coach of Real Madrid should be the kind of person who is tough, can calm the superstars, make them obey one by one, and will not complain in front of him as the chairman after being wronged, because if he really complains in front of him, he must give some comforting words because of his identity and status, which seems to be in opposition to the manager.

Because of this, Real Madrid's manager is very difficult to be

"But it's more important here," Florentino said, pointing to the top of the superstar photo, and it was clear that what he meant was that the most important thing for Real Madrid was to bring in someone who could put their heads on top of the superstars, the team's manager.

Many people say that Florentino doesn't know how to manage, this is nonsense, he doesn't know how to manage, he can manage such a huge business empire? Don't know how to manage him, can make the business of the horse climb steadily?

Someone else said that Florentino didn't know football? This is even more, after being a fan for decades, he doesn't know football?

Sometimes, it doesn't mean that if you understand, you can do a good job, the world is unpredictable

"Do you have the right person?" Baldano asked with a sudden smile.

Florentino smiled and said nothing, turned around and walked towards the office.

With four away defeats to Barcelona, Ajax can almost be said to have advanced to the final, which gave the team an unprecedented treatment after returning from Barcelona to Amsterdam.

Thousands of Ajax fans arrived at the airport to greet the team's plane, and then they happily followed the team all the way back to Detokmost, and everyone in Ajax was delighted by the heroic treatment.

In Ye Qiu's interview with the Dutch national television live report, "The fans' affirmation of us will make all of us more combative on the pitch, and I am very confident that the team can go to Manchester, whether our opponent is Real Madrid or Inter Milan, we will go all out to win."

For Ajax's increasingly good performances, this storm of the Young Guard swept across Europa.

The Times of England believes that Ye Qiu's team at the Camp Nou has shown that it has the strength to reach the top of Europe, and the young Chinese showed their old and calculating side, completely knocking Barcelona down.

The German Bild newspaper also believes that Ye Qiu's Ajax is the biggest surprise in European football in the past few years, and believes that if Ajax can reach the top this season, it will inevitably carry forward the Ajax football style and Ye Qiu's football philosophy.

In addition, several major news agencies in the world have also published editorials, commenting on Ajax's away defeat of Barcelona, believing that Ajax can repeatedly beat strong teams, and this team from the Eredivisie has shown its strong strength and has the possibility of reaching the top to win the championship.

The foreign media have praised and highly affirmed, and the Netherlands is naturally not to be outdone, almost all of them are praise and affirmation for Ajax, and several outstanding players in the Ajax team have been given high honors, and the head coach Ye Qiu has been deducted with adjectives such as great and legendary.

Many Ajax fans have also put Ye Qiu with Michels, Cruyff and Van Gaal and other legends, believing that Ye Qiu's team will go down in the history of Ajax and will have a profound impact on Ajax's football philosophy.

At the same time, there are also rumors in Amsterdam City Hall that it is reported that the city government has made a decision to award Ye Qiu the title of "Honorary Citizen" at the end of this season, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Amsterdam and Dutch football in the past few years.

Ye Qiu himself is relatively low-key about this, he knows very well that all this is brought about by winning, and as Cruyff said, as long as you lose, all of this will quickly leave you, this world is so realistic.

In the midst of such a trend, Ajax took on Nijmegen away.

Many people feel that Ajax will focus all their attention on the Champions League, especially after a big game against Barcelona, and it will definitely be a little weak to return to the Eredivisie.

In fact, in the away game against Nijmegen, Ajax's start was indeed not very good, conceding the first goal in less than 15 minutes after the opening, but after the halftime break, Ye Qiu made targeted adjustments, and Ajax scored two goals in a row in the second half, and this time even Abidal was in full bloom.

It was another reversal, and it was Ye Qiu's magical adjustment, which suddenly pushed Ye Qiu's influence to a higher level again, and almost all the media agreed that Ye Qiu was the biggest contributor to Ajax's ability to get to where it is today, and also the biggest contributor to leading Ajax's revival.

The happiest person is Eliza, taking advantage of Ye Qiu's trend, she pushed her behind her back.

She and Ye Qiu are now grasshoppers on the same rope, the two of them are both prosperous, Ye Qiu is good, and she is also good, so she spares no effort to run for Ye Qiu, silently promoting this trend behind Ye Qiu, and further expanding Ye Qiu's influence.

This made Eliza seem to be busier than Ye Qiu, and she was busy until late every day.

After Ajax's difficult away reversal of Nijmegen, PSV Eindhoven beat Jingying 0 at home, but it was useless, there are 3 rounds left in the league, Ajax is 7 points ahead of PSV Eindhoven, as long as Ajax does not make mistakes, there is almost no big suspense in the Eredivisie title, what is the use of Eindhoven winning more goals?

This time, even the Eindhoven Daily couldn't help but blame Hiddink with a bit of a mocking tone, thinking that Eindhoven's form was too late, and if he had shown such an excellent competitive form earlier, and could beat his opponent in every game, how could he be opened up by Ajax by 7 points?

And in the report, the Eindhoven daily is also jealous of Ajax's excellent results, believing that both Hiddink and Eindhoven should reflect on the team's strategy and learn lessons from Ajax's successful experience丨Only in this way can the team continue to compete with Ajax.

Three days later, the team welcomed Barcelona at the Arena Stadium.

Barcelona's four-man defeat at home didn't start with the kind of comeback that everyone expected, and it was clear that Antich had the self-knowledge to beat Ajax at the Arena and get three away goal difference, so Barcelona didn't start the game with an admirable fighting spirit

It seems to have been infected by Barcelona, Ajax's start was also not very good, the players were obviously affected by continuous battles, and their physical fitness was somewhat lacking, but before the end of the first half, Ajax still took the lead with Ibrahimovic's goal.

This made all the fans at the Arena very happy, and Ibrahimovic's goal forced Barcelona to have to recover four goals in the second half, which was undoubtedly a further blow to Barcelona's morale and fighting spirit.

At the start of the second half, Barcelona looked even less motivated and less confident, and the only two players in the game who could be called scrappy were Puyol and Seydoux Keita, who did not give up like the rest of their team-mates, but continued to work hard, fight and look for opportunities.

Sometimes, however, the ability of the individual cannot move the whole.

When Ibrahimovic took the ball with his back and knocked it back to Arteta, who went straight behind the Barcelona defence, Robben quickly countered offside to form a single knife, and scored the ball again, the whole Arena stadium was boiling.

The most excited person is Mikel Arteta, an academy player who was swept away by Barcelona a year ago, but a year later he was the hero of the slaughter of Barcelona himself, providing two assists in this game to help Ajax beat Barcelona 0 and send the La Liga giants out of the Champions League on aggregate.

After a seven-year absence, Ajax reached the Champions League final again, which undoubtedly made all Ajax fans go completely crazy, they were in the stands of the Arenal Stadium, and they couldn't help but celebrate in advance before the final whistle blew.

The players of both teams on the pitch also lost their determination to continue the game, and Barcelona were completely defeated, but in this defeat, they saw hope, because the manager who led Ajax to beat Barcelona, Ye Qiu, will be in charge of the Camp Nou next season, which gives them hope again.

On the other hand, the Ajax fans at the Arenal Stadium, while celebrating wildly, did not forget to pull out a banner in the stands to retain Ye Qiu, shouting all kinds of retention slogans, hoping that the club can retain this hero who led the revival of Ajax.

But the more at this time, the more tacit the management of Ajax seems to be, from the chairman to the ordinary staff, including Ye Qiu and the coaching staff, almost everyone is silent about this and does not give any answer, but the outside world does keep coming out more and more news about other teams poaching and interested in Ye Qiu.

Now the news of whether Ye Qiu leaves Ajax, whether he joins Barcelona, or joins other teams has become a hot topic of hype in European football, and the popularity is even no less than Beckham's departure from Manchester United.
