Volume 1 Chapter 142 Seeking Change

From Dimen to Detokmost, take the motorway, which is about 10 minutes away.

Hleb drove his Mercedes CL off the southeast exit of the A2 motorway, turned onto the Arena Stadium, and slowly drove into De Tokmost, where the parking lot was still empty due to the early arrival of the hour.

Detokmost's parking lot is divided, the first team has their own parking lot, while the coaching staff and staff usually park in one area, and the players have their own exclusive parking space, which has been tacitly agreed.

Looking at the past, many Mercedes-Benz, this is because Mercedes-Benz Netherlands announced not long ago that it has become the sponsor of Ajax, although the project they sponsor is only to provide Ajax buses of all ages, the club's reception welcome car, etc., but the club staff and players have a lot of discounts on the purchase of cars.

Because of this, many Ajax players and staff have changed cars, many have changed to Mercedes-Benz, and even Roland has sold the red coquettish POLO who has been with him for several years and replaced it with a Mercedes-Benz coupe.

A lot of players see this as an added perk, as only Ajax can enjoy it in the whole of the Netherlands, and that's thanks to Eliza? Moon, who negotiated on behalf of Ajax, could help Ajax save a lot of money a year.

And I heard that now Ajax is negotiating with ABN AMRO, which is the largest bank in the Netherlands, and has been sponsoring Ajax since 1991, but due to the turmoil in the years after Ajax won the Champions League, the sponsorship cost has not kept up with the pace of development, and now it is still at the level of 1996 and has not been able to keep up with other teams.

Sources say that Van Praag entrusted the management of the sponsorship side to Eliza? Moon's company, and Eliza quickly drew up a plan to further expand Ajax's sponsorship, which would greatly increase Ajax's operating income.

With the team's results gradually improving, everything at Ajax has also flourished.

Eliza? Moon is a very, very good woman and she runs a company that now has a very close working relationship with Ajax, not only helping Ajax to make a series of commercial revenues, but also becoming an agent for more and more Ajax players.

Ibrahimovic, Lucio, Gilberto? Silva, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Kifu, Keita, Robben...... Ajax went up to the first team, down to the emerging rookies in the academy, almost all of them were Eliza? Moon's players, and every one of them from Eliza? Moon has generated a lot of extra income from a series of business projects and, most importantly, the service it provides to its players.

There are already a number of other players in the Netherlands who have joined Eliza? Moon men, such as Robin van Persie in Feyenoord and Van Bommel in PSV Eindhoven, have spread throughout the Netherlands and are said to be moving out of the Netherlands.

As soon as Hleb opened the door and got out of the car, he stood in the parking space, looking at the first-team training ground not far away, and the new home stadium that the second team next door was in full swing, and he felt that everything was completely different from when he first arrived at Ajax more than a year ago.

The second team's new home will be called Cruyff Stadium to commemorate the success of the Ajax team, and under the cooperation between Ajax and sponsor Adidas, an Adidas Sports Centre will be built between the first team and the Cruyff Stadium, which will bring together a range of advanced and unique training equipment and techniques to help the first team and youth teams, most notably some of the sports measurement and analysis systems provided by Adidas.

You must know that Adidas is the most advanced in the world in these aspects.

"Why are you standing here in a daze?"

While Hleb was stunned in the parking space, the captain of the team, Van der Sar, also drove a Mercedes-Benz, slowly parked in, went out of the door, and asked with a smile.

"Nothing!" Hleb shook his head, he also felt that he was really sentimental sometimes, obviously there were no unnecessary things, but he always looked sad, didn't he find himself guilty?

"It's really a big change!" Van der Sar followed Hleb's eyes, which happened to be the construction site of the second team's home stadium and sports center, "I remember when I first moved from the Olympic Stadium, there was nothing here, but now ...... If this series of supporting facilities are completed, we will be the first-class, even the most advanced training base in Europe. ”

Not only that, but to the north of the Arenal Stadium, Ajax also has a plot of land, according to Eliza? The plan submitted by Moon will be transformed into an Ajax fitness and sports centre, which will be designed to attract people from all walks of life who are interested in football, sports and fitness, with a membership system and professional coaches.

This will also be part of Ajax's revenue and profitability in the future.

Hleb looked at Van der Sar and smiled, "More than a year ago, when I joined the team with the others, we were just a group of unknown small characters, no one knew us, I remember, at that time, the head paid 150,000 euros for me......"

When he said this, Hleb said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone, "That's already a sky-high price for me!" ”

Van der Sar is the captain of the team, and from some information provided by Ye Qiu and the coaching staff, he also learned about Hleb, and heard that Ajax not only brought his family to Amsterdam in order to help this player, but also specially allowed his younger brother to enter the Ajax academy, which Ye Qiu personally supervised.

"Still angry?" Van der Sar looked at Hleb's expression seriously.

To tell the truth, in front of so many people, he was picked up by Ye Qiu in public and beaten so hard, although Ye Qiu was out of anger with Hleb so that he could perform better, but in the end, it was inevitable that the player would be angry in his heart.

"Don't be angry!" Hleb shook his head, "I was angry during that game, but after the game, when I went home and thought about it seriously, I didn't get angry." ”

After hearing this, Van der Sar patted Hleb on the shoulder, nodded and said: "It's too much to do this, but sometimes we have to think about it, if we can't win Eindhoven, we will be very passive, and we may even lose this most critical part of the schedule, so the pressure on the head is also very high." ”

Hleb nodded, "Don't worry, Captain, I understand!" ”

Raising his head, he looked at the construction site in the distance, where it was almost changing every day, "It's been more than a year, each and every one of them has changed, and Zlatan is no longer the poor guy he was more than a year ago, he is now worth tens of millions of euros, a lot of money, and Seydoux, and Raphael and Arjan......"

"Everyone has changed, only I'm still standing still!" Hleb was a little sad to say.

In the past year, he has become the least of the players in the Ajax squad and has improved the least.

"Be bold and brave, we are a team, we will support you and help you!" Van der Sar said.

As the captain of the team, Van der Sar is not Keane, not the type of Vieira, and it is difficult for him to play the captaincy of Keane and Vieira on the pitch, but he can do what Keane and Vieira can't, which is that off the pitch, he can use his experience to help and lead this group of young team-mates.

…………

…………

After playing PSV Eindhoven, Ajax has become the number one favorite to win the Eredivisie title in the new season, and has been unanimously praised and affirmed by the entire Dutch media community, at least Ajax is the only team that can make PSV Eindhoven disgraced in the past few years, even Feyenoord can't do it.

It is reported that Gretz has been sentenced to death by PSV management, and even if he wins the championship this time, it will not save his future in PSV Eindhoven, and he will definitely step down, but who will take over Gretz's position is not yet clear, after all, it will not be possible to do it until after the season.

There is news that Advocaat, Hiddink, Ronald? Dutch coaches such as Koeman are on PSV Eindhoven's radar.

Ye Qiu is not very interested in the news from PSV Eindhoven, and he is very busy at the moment, as he not only has to deal with a busy schedule, but also has to participate in some of Ajax's management projects.

At this moment, he took advantage of the team's training time to attend a club meeting at the Arena Stadium.

In order to accommodate Ye Qiu's time, this meeting was even postponed to nearly noon, which was unprecedented before, which shows that Van Praag is paying more and more attention to Ye Qiu, and the status of Chinese in Ajax's management is also getting higher and higher.

This meeting was mainly about integrating the club's sponsor resources.

Ye Qiu sat next to Van Praag, listening to the main podium, Eliza, dressed as OL, with the projector, talking eloquently about some of his plans and details, he had to admit that this is a woman who attaches equal importance to wisdom and beauty, at least her ability is beyond doubt.

Another focus of the meeting was to discuss the itinerary of the Asian trip after the end of the World Cup in the summer.

Ye Qiu has no objection to the Asian trip, because he never thinks that where the training camp is arranged will affect the club's preparation, and what really affects the club's preparation effect is to look at the specific arrangement of the club, whether it is business-oriented or preparation-oriented, which is the key.

As the head coach of the team, Ye Qiu has always insisted that preparation should be the priority.

"The current situation of the team is not optimistic, we are not afraid of PSV Eindhoven, but it doesn't mean that we are very good, in Europe, we are not very competitive, so I don't want to affect the team's preparation for the new season because it will definitely affect the team's results."

"Actually, it's not just the Asian trip next summer, but also the training camp after the winter break this year, I hope the club can also focus on it, and I think it should be a quieter place to train in, which is very important for the team to sprint in the second half of the season."

After beating PSV Eindhoven, many people felt that Ajax seemed to have won the game, but Ye Qiu had to stay calm and rational at this time, because he knew very well that the league was still quite long.

Van Praag also understands Ye Qiu's worries, in order to accommodate the World Cup, the Dutch Football Association has compressed the schedule very tightly, plus Ajax is going to play the Champions League and the Dutch Cup, it can be said that it is a three-line battle, this pressure is very high, and if it is not handled well, it is likely to lead to a complete collapse of the team.

"Don't worry, I'll personally supervise this!" Leo? Ben Hack reassured.

He has now completely handed over all the power in the field of competition to Ye Qiu, and he himself bears the title of technical director, in fact, acting as a bridge between the management and the head coach, and is also responsible for providing some necessary advice on the competitive level when formulating policies for the management of Ajax.

Since the first few in-depth contacts, Ye Qiu's relationship with Leo? Ben Hack has changed a lot, at least the latter has successfully changed Ye Qiu's impression of his struggle for power, and now Leo? Ben Hack has done a good job in the management of Ajax and is very supportive of Ye Qiu's work, and the relationship between the two sides has become very harmonious.

"I've heard some news from me!"

Ye Qiu's solemn expression made everyone present pay attention.

"I know that the team has done well in Europe, there are quite a few teams that are keeping a close eye on our players, and I don't deny that there are some teams that are really attractive to our players......

The Eredivisie has always been just the Eredivisie, and who wouldn't want to prove themselves on a higher stage?

No matter how high Ye Qiu's prestige in the eyes of the players is, it is absolutely impossible for him to stop the players from pursuing higher dreams, therefore, to a certain extent, Ye Qiu is psychologically prepared to lose some players, but he still has to continue to work hard to ensure the integrity of the team's overall tactical structure to the greatest extent.

This is a very paradoxical paradox, as long as the team performs well in the European arena, it will definitely be seduced by the top league team, which is the natural defect of the Eredivisie, and Ye Qiu can't stop it no matter how much he does.

"I hope that I can get first-hand information on every transfer transaction, even if it is just intentions, because I want to ensure the integrity of the team to the greatest extent, and as long as I can ensure the integrity and stability of the team, give me another year, I will definitely make the team shine on the European stage!"

In this year's Champions League, Ye Qiu played very inexperienced, and the players were also inexperienced, but with the accumulation and experience of the two rounds of group stage this season, Ye Qiu believes that the team's performance will get better and better, and he feels that the current improvement momentum of the players is very good.

Last season, playing in the Eredivisie, the team improved very quickly, this season Ye Qiu was worried that after the loss of this freshness, coupled with the fact that the level of the Eredivisie itself is not high enough, the progress of the players will slow down, but now through the stimulation of European events, the progress of the players has always maintained a steady momentum of improvement.

With the strength of Ajax's group of players, currently in the Eredivisie, Ye Qiu is not afraid of any team, including PSV Eindhoven.

The meeting finally ended with Ye Qiu's series of requests and Van Praag's series of clear promises, which was equivalent to unifying the caliber from top to bottom and coordinating the cooperation between various departments.

After the meeting, the club didn't care about eating, Ye Qiu could only take Eliza to the golden thin man at the Arena Stadium to eat.

Ye Qiu was full of praise for Eliza's performance at the meeting just now, but this Dutch-French half-breed seemed to be a little dissatisfied, with a touching lazy attitude, he shook his head, "It's a pity, I'm so busy, I always work for people!" ”

Ye Qiu somewhat understood Eliza's difficulties, she had complained to Ye Qiu before, if Ajax was willing to give her more and greater power, she would definitely be able to run this club better, but now she is just a partner of Ajax, and she doesn't have much actual power.

"Huh!" Eliza's thinking was very active and jumped, and suddenly she thought of something, stretched out her jade onion finger, and poked Ye Qiu's hand, "Let's just buy a club by ourselves, I am in charge of running it, and you are in charge of coaching, what do you think?" ”

Ye Qiu was first overjoyed after hearing this, she had her own club, no longer worked for others, and became the boss herself, which was also Ye Qiu's long-standing wish, and Eliza also knew it, so her proposal was indeed very tempting, but the problem was ......

"My eldest lady, where's the money?" Ye Qiu asked with a wry smile.

Eliza pouted playfully after hearing this, "It doesn't cost much to buy a club in the Netherlands now, it's very cheap!" ”

"I'm either not going to do it, or I'm going to do it!"

Eliza was a little surprised, but immediately smiled, this is the Ye Qiu she knows.

"The big leagues?" She also looked excited.

"There are not hundreds of millions, you can't play, Miss!" Ye Qiu reminded.

"It seems that you have your own plan," Eliza is also a smart person, and she can hear his voiceover from Ye Qiu's tone, "Okay, anyway, I will sell you for the rest of my life, so I will continue to work for you, but we have to say okay, seventy-three, my share is not less mine!" "That coquettish and strange appearance is extremely moving.

Ye Qiu had long been accustomed to this side of her, this girl was very good at taking advantage of women's natural advantages, smiled, and didn't say anything.

"By the way, tell me, what are you going to do next?"

"me, when did you become so gossipy?" Ye Qiu looked like I looked down on you, "It must be that you have watched too many dramas, and even your thoughts have become the same as those heroes and heroines, and you don't even understand trade secrets?" ”

"Go!" Eliza poked him viciously, "Just you, still trade secrets?" But she didn't ask any more.

Since she met Ye Qiu, Eliza felt that Ye Qiu was very organized and planned, and he was by no means as radical and reckless as he saw on the outside, so she really had a hunch that Ye Qiu would either not do it, or if she wanted to do it, she would definitely strive to do her best.

And all she has to do is help him, and then wait and see!
