"We will completely block Ajax's attack in this game!"

On the occasion of this Dutch derby, Eindhoven coach Gretz, who led the team to Amsterdam, expressed his confidence in this game in an interview with the media.

If it had been a week ago, there would have been a lot of people who thought he was deliberately exaggerating to boost the morale of the team, but now no one will feel that way, because Ajax has been severely attrition in this game.

Sneijder and Robben, the two main players who went off injured in the game against Boavista, have been confirmed by the club to be out for at least two weeks, with Sneijder's injury being more serious and a conservative estimate that he may not be able to return for two weeks.

Ye Qiu can only play against Yaya in this game? Toure has been entrusted with the task, but the Ivorian youngster's performance is not as consistent as Sneijder's, and whether he can fill the gap left by Sneijder is a question for everyone, while Robben's place is taken by Hleb.

After the Belarusian players joined Ajax, although they have performed well from time to time, they cannot be compared with the talented winger Robben, and he has repeatedly said that he has not been able to adapt to Ajax's tactical system when he has talked to Ye Qiu many times and given media interviews.

This undoubtedly makes many people not very comfortable with him, and once Ajax's trident loses the threat on the left and the shock in the middle, how much power can be left, which is why Gretz is so convinced.

Ye Qiu did not refute Gretz's remarks, because he knew very well that it was not the time.

Now he is sitting in the office, talking to Yaya? Toure had an in-depth conversation, the most important of which was when it came to the upcoming match, and Ye Qiu told him unabashedly that he would qualify for the start of this game, with Keita and Gilberto? Silva partnered in midfield.

'I never doubted your potential and talent, that's why I brought you to Amsterdam from Ivory Coast, I believe you can be one of the best midfielders in Europe and in the world, but you have to show me that I can trust you absolutely when it matters and that you have that quality!'

"Tell me, can I trust you?"

Facing Ye Qiu's solemn inquiry, Yaya? Toure nodded heavily, "Trust me, I won't let you down!" ”

Ye Qiu nodded, "Remember what I told you, a good player must always stay calm, have a sense of the overall situation and strategy, and at the same time trust his teammates, pass the ball well, and you will be able to dominate a game!" ”

Yaya? Toure knows what the head coach means, Ye Qiu and the other coaches have told him many times, he himself is aware of this problem, and is working hard to improve, but sometimes, things in personality and playing habits can not be changed.

"I promise you, head, I will try harder to restrain myself in this game!"

Yaya? Toure knows better than anyone that the opponent in this game is PSV Eindhoven, and now the gap between the two teams is 4 points, losing, although Ajax still has a 1-point lead, but it has been greatly weakened by the opponent in morale, which is bound to lead to a heavy blow to the morale of Ajax.

Ye Qiu's trust in him in such a critical game is equivalent to pinning all the hopes of winning the championship on him.

Such an important game, Yaya? If Toure can't guarantee an effort to control himself, how can he be a starter?

"Go ahead, don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't pay attention to the suspicions of the outside world, you have to remember that you don't play for them, you are only responsible for me, only I can judge your performance, understand?"

Yaya? Toure nodded and stood up, and after saying goodbye to Ye Qiu politely, he left Ye Qiu's office.

Eyeing Yaya? After Toure left, Ye Qiu exhaled deeply, his pressure now is really great, but the trouble is not small, Yaya? Toure is just one of them, along with Hleb, the shy and low-key Belarusian.

Since joining Ajax, although his performance has been good and bad, he has always seemed to be a little unable to integrate into the team, Ye Qiu once communicated with him, asked him the reason and the crux of the problem, Hleb did not hide it, told Ye Qiu his own problems.

"Your tactics are too fast-paced, and you keep asking me to run, which doesn't give me enough time to think, and without thinking, it's hard for me to find my target."

Hleb didn't say it, but Ye Qiu understands that if there is no goal, it is easy to be blind, run blindly, dribble blindly, once pressed and forced by the opponent, it is easy to fall into a bitter battle, and Hleb is a bit melancholy, sometimes not decisive enough, and the shooting is not strong enough, he prefers to choose to pass the ball rather than hit the goal himself.

Ye Qiu didn't give up on Hleb because of this, that's not his style, because he always believed that no player is flawless, every player will have such and such problems, if he encounters a problem, he doesn't solve it, but chooses to give up, then he is definitely not a qualified head coach.

So he gave Hleb a lot of time, in the past year and a half, Hleb has always been Robben's substitute, but once he performs well, assists or goals, Ye Qiu will give special rewards to encourage him to become more confident, and once he makes a mistake, Ye Qiu will take the initiative to take all the responsibility and give him shelter.

"Know, head, when we were in Belarus, we all loved snow."

Sitting in the office chair, turning around, facing the desk with his back to the second team's court, Ye Qiu's mind involuntarily remembered that last winter, when it snowed in Amsterdam, Hleb was in a hot state, Ye Qiu asked him why, and he talked about his past full of vicissitudes.

"My friends and I came from poor backgrounds, my father was a tanker driver, my mother was a construction site worker, and my football career started on concrete floors, and I always broke the skin, even injured my feet, and sometimes fell into a bloody mess."

"It wasn't until I was 12 that I got a pair of sneakers, the cheap ones, and I just thought they were treasures, so I like snow because it makes the ground soft, and even though it can be slippery and easy to get hurt, the sneakers don't break easily, and in the summer, our sneakers always break really fast."

Ye Qiu can imagine how hard his life is from Hleb's words, and he can also imagine that an Eastern European who has lived in the slums since he was a child suddenly came to Western Europe, where flowers are blooming, and in the face of such a flowery world, with Hleb's sentimental character, inferiority is inevitable.

And often many times, low self-esteem can easily lead to lack of self-confidence.

In the past year or so, Ye Qiu has always been kind to protect him, but Hleb doesn't seem to have made much progress, which undoubtedly makes Ye Qiu feel a little disappointed, and he has to rethink whether his way towards Hleb is correct.

But I have to admit that Ye Qiu is really not a person who can be hard-hearted, especially when facing his own players.

When he saw Hleb walk into his office a little timidly, sit in front of him, and lower his face full of vicissitudes, many hard words could not be spoken.

"You're going to start this game." Ye Qiu announced.

Hleb nodded and mumbled, not surprised by this, as Robben usually starts in games where he is absent.

"In this game, we will focus on building two wings, we have to start well according to the convention, we have to attack, I want to use the midfield to firmly suppress the midfield of PSV Eindhoven, and completely incorporate the game into the rhythm that we do best."

Hleb still nodded, this time he didn't answer, but raised his head, looked at Ye Qiu seriously, and listened to him.

Seeing Heleb like this, Ye Qiu secretly sighed in his heart, "Alexander, it has been more than a year since you came to Amsterdam, and you have experienced a lot in the Eredivisie, I believe you know very well the importance of this game to the team!" ”

"I understand, head!" Hleb finally spoke.

"That's good!" Ye Qiu is quite satisfied, "Just coming to a team, it is inevitable that there will always be some transition and adaptation periods, Zidane went to Real Madrid, Pire went to Arsenal, they all performed very unsatisfactory at the beginning, but the key is to let go of their mentality, to adapt, integrate and trust the teammates around them." ”

"I'm sure you can do it, and you can do it well, and never doubt yourself, you know?"

Ye Qiu's encouragement moved Heleb a little, I don't know how many times he has done it, but every time, Ye Qiu still takes the trouble to encourage him, and even defend him, which makes Heleb nod heavily, and at the same time, he keeps reminding himself in his heart that he must not let his head down again.

Sending away Hleb, Ye Qiu fell into deep thought again, he had no doubt that playing PSV Eindhoven, the biggest weakness in the Ajax lineup was Hleb and Yaya? Toure, if these two players don't play well, then Ajax will be more than lucky in this game, because he can feel that Gretz is prepared this time and menacing.

The importance of this game, it can be seen from Ye Qiu that he sent all the main players to play, even if it affects Ajax's midweek game with Bayern Munich, he doesn't care at all.

For a long time, the league has been the battlefield that Ye Qiu attaches the most importance to.

…………

…………

When the roar of the Ferrari rang out outside the gate, Eliza had just hung up the phone with Huang Chu.

This stupid girl learned about Ajax's recent situation from the newspaper, and guessed that Ye Qiu must be under a lot of pressure now, so she specially called from England to ask Eliza Ye Qiu's situation, and asked Eliza to help Ye Qiu.

There is a saying that is really true, smart people use their brains, Eliza's agency is getting bigger and bigger, but she herself has not seen how busy, and her mantra is that she can't affect her rest because of work, because the most important thing for a woman is to take care of her body through sleep and rest.

But Ye Qiu, the head coach of Ajax, seems to be busy every day.

"I'm back!" Eliza saw Ye Qiu open the door and come in, but she just turned her head sideways and continued to watch her TV.

God knows what kind of smart stupid girl is like to watch those vulgar sitcoms, and she also watches them with relish, and likes the vulgar scenes and disgusting emotional scenes in them.

"Please, it's this drama again, wheat cake!" Ye Qiu kept shaking his head.

This drama is called "Good Times, Bad Times", it is now the most popular drama in the Netherlands, from 1990 to the present, I don't know how Lu Dao has broadcast thousands of episodes, and it seems that there is no sign of ending at all, God knows how they made it up?

But I have to say, I heard that there is almost everything in this drama, love, conspiracy, and ...... The most important thing is that the ratings are high.

Eliza was holding a box of potato chips in her hand, currying and currying, without turning her head, staring at the TV, "If you don't know how to watch it yourself, don't always affect me watching TV on the sidelines, I packed dinner, put it on the dining room table, and eat it myself." ”

Since Huang Chu left, Ye Qiu and Eliza's three meals a day were basically packed, or directly in the club restaurant.

Eating these foods hastily, which were obviously incomparable to Huang Chu's craftsmanship, Ye Qiu's ears listened to the indiscriminate bombardment of soap operas, he was surprised, with Eliza's IQ, why did he like to watch such a TV series?

"Eliza, don't watch this kind of TV series that lowers IQ, let's go for a walk!"

"I can see just right!" Eliza immediately refused, but soon, she thought of something, Huang Chu asked her to help look at Ye Qiu, and turned around, "Where to go?" ”

"Take a ride!"

It's really a ride, and it's the kind that drives very fast!

In the middle of the night, a Ferrari sped at speeds of more than 200 mph, almost lightning fast on the A1 motorway, all the way to the south, past Naarden, to Shiversam, then from the A1 to the A27, around Lake Hoy, to Almere, on the A6 to Rileystad, and then onto the Lake Ring Road, to IJsselmeer.

From Lelystad there is a road across IJsselmeer, which, like the famous Afludijk Embankment, cuts through IJsselmeulsee, with a road built on it, and in the middle of the embankment, opens up an area similar to a mooring pier, which serves as a monitoring station for the embankment and the lake locks, as well as a café called Charlie.

Ye Qiu drove very fast all the way, and Eliza grabbed the handle above the car door all the way, for fear that if she was not careful, she would be thrown out of the car door directly, and every time she crossed the car, she couldn't help but scream.

Therefore, when Ye Qiu turned into Charlie's Cafe and parked in the parking lot outside, her towering breasts rose and fell rapidly, as if with some kind of moving rhythm, but her face was very unsightly.

"I swear, Ye Qiu, I won't dare to ride in your car again!" Eliza opened the door directly and went out, finding that her legs were a little weak, and immediately looked at Ye Qiu angrily, "You madman!" ”

Feeling the cold wind blowing on IJssel Lake in winter, Ye Qiu felt that the whole person was relaxed and happy.

The waves of the lake beneath your feet are not big, but they beat the pebbles on the embankment one after another, and the whole embankment separates IJssellake, and the lake naturally wants to erode this narrow embankment, but after decades, it is as stable as Mount Tai.

Ye Qiu stretched out his arms with all his might, kept twisting his somewhat sore neck, and slowly walked to the end of the embankment, opened his arms, and let the wind blowing on the lake beat on him, the feeling was great.

"Maniac!" Eliza knew that he was under pressure and was venting, "Come back, it's too dangerous to stand there, if you fall, I won't be able to drown you!" ”

Ye Qiuha smiled, "I don't know how to water, I'm going to learn, but you also come over and give it a try, standing here and looking at IJssel Lake is completely different from standing in it!" ”

It was pitch black, only the lighthouse in the distance was still flickering, guiding the boats on the lake, and as far as the eye could see, there was no sight of the other side of IJssellake, which was too big, too big!

As long as he lifted his feet, he could step into IJssel Lake, but Ye Qiu stood at the end of the embankment, rushing towards the lake without any light, and it was a ghost roar in Eliza's ears.

"You can give it a try, it's very enjoyable!" Ye Qiu smiled and proposed.

Eliza shook her head vigorously, "I'm not crazy! ”

"Afraid of what?" Ye Qiu smiled, "Remember James? Cameron's Titanic? You learn from Ruth, imagine yourself standing on the bow of the Titanic, and I am the handsome and dashing Jack, and I will hold you when the time comes! ”

"Gross!" Eliza made a playful vomit motion, "I don't look like Jack no matter how I see you, and you're handsome and dashing, are you as handsome as Leonardo?" ”

Ye Qiu shook his head, "You can't have a little imagination?" ”

Eliza shook her head like a rattle, "What kind of imagination does it take to imagine you as Leonardo?" After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh for a while, obviously happy that she was able to hit Ye Qiu.

But when she was talking, she still slowly approached Ye Qiu, I don't know why, she felt that Ye Qiu seemed to be very happy to stand like this, but as soon as she got close to Ye Qiu, the latter pulled hard, making her scream, but Ye Qiu pulled her to the end of the embankment.

"Step on here, yes, step on it steadily, don't move, otherwise it's not Ruth, it's a drowned ghost." Ye Qiu shouted with a smile.

Eliza was so frightened that she grabbed Ye Qiu's hand with both hands, her eyes were closed in fright, and she didn't dare to open it, but as soon as Ye Qiu shouted, she didn't dare to move, so she could only let Ye Qiu hold her soft and boneless waist.

At this moment, she felt that her whole person, her whole heart, and her whole life were in Ye Qiu's hands, as long as he let go, she would die, but Ye Qiu's hands holding her waist were indescribably powerful, as if he couldn't let go with a knife.

"Open your eyes!" Ye Qiu smiled beside her ear and said, "Come, don't be afraid, open your eyes and take a look at IJssellake, you will find that it is completely different from the IJssel Lake you saw before!" ”

I don't know if Lu Dao is very relieved of Ye Qiu, Eliza slowly opened her eyes, she was really stunned.

At this moment, she felt as if the whole IJssel Lake was trampled under her feet, and the waves seemed to be coming at her.

As long as she goes up a little further, or if she goes a little further, she will be swallowed by the lake waves, but Ye Qiu's hands around her waist pull her so forcefully that she is not afraid at all.

"Wow!" Eliza opened her arms excitedly, looking like Ruth from the Titanic.

"Hey, be careful, don't twist your waist, damn it, I can't hold it!"
