On Saturday, December 4, 1999, the 27th day of the 10th lunar month, the weather was fine.

Ye Qiu will remember this day, because it was on this day that he and Huang Chu went on a date!

Uh, well, frankly, this doesn't count dating!

The main reason is that a certain man is very despicable and shameless and forgetful to abandon the two assistants of Rick Link and Roland, but he pretends to be lonely and pitiful in front of a certain woman, which provokes a certain woman's sympathy and agrees to watch the football game together.

The appointment time is 3 p.m. at the Arena Grandstand in Amsterdam's south-east New Town.

Today's Huang Chu is wearing a red cardigan, which is matched with a white V-neck knitted kaftan inside, and the bare pink neck is wrapped in an Ajax scarf, which Ye Qiu bought two when they were outside, one for each person.

The lower body is wearing a pair of light blue white skinny jeans, showing the slender legs and graceful curves to the fullest, with a pair of flat boots, and there is no jewelry on the whole body, but a white belt watch is worn on the wrist of the left hand, giving people a very youthful and beautiful little freshness.

"Do you see it, they're all staring at you!" Ye Qiu secretly swept the surroundings and found that they were all a group of wolf-like eyes, and even Ye Qiu himself was unlucky, and he must have been scolded by countless people with headaches in their hearts.

Huang Chu glared at him, "If you talk nonsense, let's see if I will go out with you next time!" ”

Ye Qiu grinned, this was a warning, but it actually revealed a little meaning, that is, next time you can go on a date.

Who said that you don't know how to pick up girls if you haven't been in love?

This kind of thing depends on talent, and it talks about hard work!

"Eh, you say, can the first team win today?" Huang Chu is also working at Ajax and hopes that Ajax can win.

Ye Qiu took out a notebook and a pen from the bag beside him, frowned, shook his head, and said: "It's hard to say, it depends on how Waters arranges the troops, if you fight against Eindhoven, there will be more than luck!" ”

No matter from which point of view, Ajax does not have the strength to shake Eindhoven for the time being, this is not to grow others' morale and destroy their own prestige, but a kind of reason.

Eindhoven is strong, and the strength of their team is not as good as theirs, so what can't you say? Don't dare to say?

But when Ye Qiu saw the starting lineup of Ajax, he secretly screamed in his heart.

As soon as the game started, Ajax wanted to use their home stadium to launch a round of attacks on PSV Eindhoven.

Waters' abacus should be hoping to take advantage of the opening opportunity, seize the opportunity in one go, and suppress Eindhoven's momentum first, and it is naturally best to score goals, even if he can't score, at least he can suppress Eindhoven's sharpness and boost his fighting spirit.

Such a start cannot be said to be bad, it should be said that all tactics are double-edged swords, there is no absolute good, absolutely bad.

It's like Waters' start was indeed good, so PSV Eindhoven was frustrated at the beginning, although he failed to score, but he was passive, unable to organize an effective attack, and was suppressed by Ajax.

From the beginning of the game, Ye Qiu put himself into the role of Waters, and he couldn't care about the stunning beauty sitting next to him, and he threw himself into the ball game, simulating in his heart, if it was himself, what would he do at this moment, and then study Eindhoven's tricks.

Eric? A former right-back who was one of Europe's most famous right-backs, he helped Belgium runners-up at Euro 1980 and reach the semi-finals of the World Cup '86, while at club level he won two titles in Standard Liège and six times since arriving at PSV Eindhoven, as well as being a regular in the Champions League winning squad in 87/88.

The PSV Eindhoven legend also took charge of PSV Eindhoven in the summer, and this season the team has been purged and adjusted, bringing in a group of powerful stars of the year, which has greatly strengthened the team's attack and defense.

Ye Qiu has studied Gretz's preferences, and he feels that as a striker, Gretz, who is famous as a defender, first seeks stability, which leads to his team's balance of attack and defense, although there are offensive experts such as Kolka and Romerdal in the midfield, there are also players with excellent defensive ability such as Van Bommel , Van der Doren and Hokhlov to balance attack and defense.

After the start, Ajax took the initiative to attack and occupied a lot of initiative, but they were never able to break through Eindhoven's defense, this is because Ajax's offensive ability is not strong enough, and because Eindhoven's defense is excellent, especially the central defensive combination of Nikiforov and Fabel is very solid.

In this case, Ye Qiu felt that after attacking for a while, he should take it properly.

"It's still an old problem, the distance between the two wings is lengthened, and the pressure is relatively high, so that the fullbacks are directly exposed in front of the opponent's two fast horse players, which is self-defeating!" Ye Qiu looked very nervous, but he didn't know if Waters could see it.

After listening to Ye Qiu's words, Huang Chu didn't know if she was right, she didn't know anything about football, especially the professional football tactics, so she couldn't discuss these with Ye Qiu, so she could only accompany him to watch the ball game and listen to him muttering from time to time.

When the game reached the 19th minute, Eindhoven broke the ball at the back and handed it to Van Bommel, who shifted the ball to the left and gave it to Kolka, who saw Kolka take the ball and turn around, facing Vieklaw directly, and in a one-on-one situation, he used speed and skill to get past Vieklaw and cross it.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, the super striker who has feared all teams in the Eredivisie this season, will not miss such an opportunity, and he opened the scoring for PSV Eindhoven with a 1-0 win in the penalty area ahead of Ajax centre-back Villath!

There was a deafening boo from the stands at the Arena when PSV Eindhoven scored, and it was clear that the fans were unhappy with the development of the game as Voters' side allowed PSV Eindhoven to score first at the Arena.

And anyone who knows a little bit about the ball knows that being scored by a team like PSV Eindhoven will make the next game even more difficult!

"To restrain these two fast horses on the wing, it is not enough to rely on one person, so the distance between the midfield and the back field should not be too far, and the three lines must be kept compact, and they cannot fall into individual combat!" After Ye Qiu watched PSV Eindhoven's first goal, he felt that his previous judgment was correct.

Kolka and Romerdal are both very good and fast, and against such players, the defenders are always very passive, and they will definitely suffer one-on-one, so they have to work as a team, and rely on squeezing the space, so that their speed cannot be played, so that this pair of angel wings cannot fly.

I have to say that after Ye Qiu studied Rehhagel's overall defensive tactics for more than half a month, coupled with the previous gains, he now has a certain foundation on how to limit the opponent's offense and compress the opponent's offensive space.

This can't be said that he is smart, the books and analyses sold by the Godfather System all adopt a more in-depth explanation, and there are few complex and difficult theories, so Ye Qiu has studied deeply, and basically mastered them, but a deeper level of comprehension needs to be verified with more competitions and practice.

He started slower than others, but fortunately with this system, he can catch up with others step by step.

"Why are we able to attack before conceding a goal, but after conceding a goal, we don't even have a decent goal?" The more Huang Chu looked at it, the more puzzled he became, because after being scored, Ajax's scene was quickly reversed and began to become passive.

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, "In this kind of high-stakes game, no one on either side wants to lose, because losing a game is not only 3 points, but also many other aspects, such as team morale, players' fighting spirit and confidence, and so on. ”

"After two consecutive defeats, Ajax can't afford to lose again, so the pressure on the players and coaches is very high, and they were completely crushed as soon as they scored a goal!"

"What then?" Huang Chu is also in a hurry, she is now a typical Ajax fan.

"Hold on!" Ye Qiu said helplessly, this is the most unavoidable way to stabilize the situation first.

If you can't even stabilize the situation, and you are scored by the opponent one after another, what else can you talk about?

Just as Ye Qiu was speaking, PSV Eindhoven scored again.

This time it was Romedal on the right who cut into the penalty area, Nielis passed, the latter volleyed hard, Ajax goalkeeper Grim saved the ball, but Van Nistelrooy hit the follow-up shot, 2:0!

The Ajax fans in the stands at the Arena Stadium have completely turned into a sea of rage!

I saw that one by one Ajax fans rushed out of their seats frantically when PSV Eindhoven scored again, and roared at the home team's coach's box, Watters, who was hiding and did not dare to come out.

"Class! Class!! Class!!! ”

"Waters, let's go!"

"Fuck off, Waters, we don't need you!"

"You're disgrace to Ajax!"

The huge Arena Stadium is full of shouts of class.

As early as the last game of the 0:2 home defeat to Real Mallorca, Ajax fans couldn't help but shout to Waters to get out of class, and now this game, less than half an hour, was Eindhoven scored two goals in a row, the team's morale, Waters' coaching ability has been very obvious.

For a team like Ajax, no matter how well you play against other underdogs, the fans take it for granted, but if you play badly in the strong conversation, then you are the target of everyone's attack.

The last time they faced Feyenoord, Watters' side lost by two goals and lost an ugly defeat, and now he has met PSV Eindhoven and the start of the game has been a nightmare, so the fans immediately attacked.

"When people's hearts are scattered, the team will be difficult to lead!" Ye Qiu suddenly said such a sentence.

"Do you sympathize with Waters?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "It's hard to shift all the blame on Waters, many people have to take responsibility, including Chairman Van Praag, it's just that Waters' mistakes are too obvious and stupid!" ”

At the beginning of the season, when the team won three consecutive victories, Ye Qiu reminded him not to just blindly remember to fight for power, the most important thing is the game, but he obviously didn't listen, but he had scruples about Ye Qiu because of this.

Now, as it turns out, Waters is no longer the place to stay.

"Will he really get out of class?" Huang Chu thinks that being booed by tens of thousands of fans should be miserable, right?

"Yes!" Ye Qiu is very clear about the current situation at Ajax, and he can say with great certainty that if he can't take Eindhoven, he will definitely leave class, because it is impossible for Ajax to give him time now.

In March 2000, Ajax will celebrate its centenary, and the whole of Amsterdam will celebrate, what will it be like if Watters' team suffers a defeat at this time?

European traditional clubs attach great importance to these, Ye Qiu still remembers that Real Madrid's centennial celebration also lost, because in that game, Florentino fired the meritorious coach Bosque, maybe many people think that it is just an excuse, but at that time, the anger of the fans was very big, even the chairman had to consider it.

Van Praag is not an indecisive chairman, and he is well aware that the new boss needs time, and sacking Waters and leaving the entire winter break to run is undoubtedly the best way to ensure the centenary celebrations.

"Do you think it's cruel?" Ye Qiu looked at Huang Chu and noticed the unbearability on her face.

"Isn't it?"

Ye Qiu smiled, "The risks and gains are fair, if Waters coaches well, he will become famous in one fell swoop, with an annual salary of more than one million, and he will be directly famous, and he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, which is an irresistible temptation for anyone, but at the same time, if he fails, the price paid will definitely be very painful." ”

"So, I think it's fair!"

"That's what you men think!" Huang Chuke disagreed with Ye Qiu's opinion.

"And what do you women think?"

Huang Chu thought about it, shook his head, and couldn't say.

"Silly girl, there is no sure way to make a profit or lose in this world, it is precisely because there are risks and crises that we can urge us to go all out and do our best in everything, so that after reaping the results, we will have a special sense of accomplishment and satisfaction."

Gradually, Ye Qiu seemed to like this feeling a little.

Huang Chu glared at him with disgust, and reached out and twisted his arm gently, as if he was blaming him for scolding her stupid girl, Ye Qiu took the opportunity to protest loudly, but he was happy in his heart.

…………

…………

Ruud van Nistelrooy's brace in the first half gave PSV Eindhoven the lead.

Waters made changes in the second half, but the team still did not improve, and Van Bommel's goal in the 51st minute helped PSV Eindhoven to make it 3-0, which completely destroyed the last hope of the Ajax players, and they completely lost their fighting spirit.

Waters sat in the dugout from start to finish, didn't come out, and no one saw what his expression really was.

Perhaps, it may be that he is dead, or he is complaining with grief and anger, or he is very unconvinced and ready to shirk responsibility, but all of this cannot stop PSV Eindhoven from continuing to chase Ajax.

Romedahl's goal finally locked the score at 4:0!

This is also the worst game that Ajax has lost at the Arenal Stadium this season!

In the end, Waters failed to turn decay into magic, nor did he lead the team to create miracles.

Having been knocked out of the UEFA Cup, and now slaughtered by PSV Eindhoven in the league, suffering three consecutive defeats, and almost losing the right to compete for the league title early, Waters has no hope of staying in the league.

The Arena was filled with the voices of fans venting their frustrations, and they tried every means to attack the head coach Watters, even if this man was once their hope, but in exchange for a deep despair.

No one is going to blame it on the aftermath of the Bosman Act, no one is going to put it all down to a throes of the team's metabolism, and no one is going to see it all as the darkness before the dawn of Ajax.

What they need is to vent, to vent the anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts!

Even this fire is not only burning Waters, but also igniting the fans' dissatisfaction with Van Praag.

The heir to the family who once brought Ajax the pinnacle of glory, the great chairman who led Ajax to a full revival, no one now thinks about his past achievements.

In the eyes of fans, Van Praag's behavior in recent years can only be described as mediocre, because he can't keep a star in the team, he can't improve the club's debts and tight financial situation, and he can only watch the team's results decline step by step, but there is nothing he can do.

Just after the defeat to PSV Eindhoven, Ajax fans gathered at the gates of the Arena Stadium and refused to leave, demanding a reasonable and satisfactory explanation from the club.

Van Praag had to come out and say that he had just accepted Waters' resignation, that Ajax would have a change of manager, and that in the absence of a suitable manager, assistant coach Westerhoff would temporarily take over the first team as acting head coach and Super Bobby would once again become Westerhoff's head assistant coach.

"I love Ajax, guys, and trust me that I don't have any less affection for this club than any of you!" Van Praag's voice was broadcast to every corner of the pitch and beyond.

He, once in the most critical time of Ajax, decisively took responsibility and took up the burden, when he promised to lead Ajax to obtain the same level as his father Yaap? Van Praag's success was as impressive, and in the end he did not break his promise, and Ajax ushered in a resurgence in the hands of Louis van Gaal.

At this moment, he was abandoned by this group of comrades-in-arms who had supported him in the past, but what could he say?

Complaining about the cruelty and ruthlessness of football?

"Please also believe that one day I will leave the position of chairman of Ajax, but it must not be now, it must not be the turbulent present of Ajax!"

"I'll go, I'll give you all an explanation, but that's when I bring Ajax back to the top!"

Van Praag's words convinced many fans and persuaded many people.

In the end, this forced palace, under this emotional plea, came to an end!

But no one knows what kind of fate awaits Ajax next.
