'Ibrahimovic is really a star who can cause problems for any defender, he was very good tonight, which made it difficult for us to contain his attack, he is young but he is already one of the best centre-forwards in Europe and with time he will become a great goalscorer.'

At the press conference at Old Trafford, despite being very unhappy with the result, Ferguson still gave Ajax a high rating, and in his opinion, this Ajax team has a group of outstanding players.

'Ajax's attacking play is well known in Europe, especially their trident, which is their sharpest weapon, the speed and breakthrough of Robben on the left, Van der Vaart's inside and passing on the right, combined with the very good connection and movement of the three players, made it difficult for us to defend effectively against them in the game.

'A lot of times we defended two of them and missed one, and when we put a lot of effort into keeping an eye on these three players who are extremely individual but at the same time very well coordinated, Ajax's second-tier attack was also helpless, Sneijder, Arteta and McCone on the right were all very good and caused huge difficulties for the defence.

Ferguson's answer made Ye Qiu, who was sitting next to him, a little surprised, because at least, in Ye Qiu's opinion, Ferguson should not be such a magnanimous person, or his personality should be next to him.

"Yes, if you look at it purely from the field in this game, Ajax really should have scored more goals, we have problems defending, the midfield can't provide effective protection to the backline, Ajax has taken advantage of this hole very effectively, and their attack has changed a lot, it is difficult to defend."

'It's a hard lesson and I'll ask my players to take it seriously and think about the reasons for the defeat, but I hope to have the opportunity to continue to meet Ajax in the Champions League and I want to have the opportunity to get revenge with my own hands!'

Ferguson's naked provocation and challenge immediately made the reporters on the scene in an uproar, and they all turned to look at Ye Qiu, and many people laughed in their hearts at this time, this is Ferguson's style, no matter how you praise or lose, this old guy is always full of fighting spirit.

There may be many people who will accuse Ferguson of being strong and accusing him of all kinds of wrongs, but there is one thing that can never be denied, and it is also his biggest personal charm, that is, he never gives up!

Manchester United is the embodiment of the spirit of Alex Ferguson, and the spirit of the Red Devils is the legacy of Ferguson's will.

'I'd also like to meet Manchester United again, maybe I'm a bit arrogant to say that, but I'm happy to accept Sir Alex Ferguson's challenge because it's a lucky thing for us at Ajax and it means we can go further!'

Ye Qiu's answer was not weak, the so-called further step was actually to defeat Manchester United.

'It was a tough game, it wasn't easy at all, we wasted a lot of chances, otherwise Sir Alex Ferguson wouldn't have wanted to touch us again. Ye Qiu's counterattack once again made everyone in the press conference hall laugh.

'But that's football, anyway, I'm happy that we were able to draw away at Manchester United, which puts us in a good position to win the group and I hope we can qualify as top of the group, which will be a bit better for us in the rest of the fixtures.'

Manchester United is one of the favourites to win the Champions League this season, second only to the number one favorite Real Madrid, and because of this, Ye Qiu is naturally happy that the team can beat Manchester United, but this also means that every opponent in the next knockout round will attach great importance to Ajax.

But no matter what, his goal is to keep moving forward, and no one can stop Ajax's chariot from moving forward!

"Interested in having a drink?"

After the press conference, Ye Qiu was about to walk back to the locker room, but was stopped by Ferguson, who came out closely.

A little hesitant because he himself is not very good at drinking.

"Afraid?" Ferguson asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu shrugged, "Who is afraid?" ”

"Then please!" Ferguson made an inviting gesture and walked straight ahead.

Although Manchester United's athletic department is at Carrington's training base, Ferguson also has his own office at Old Trafford, just upstairs, so Ye Qiu followed Ferguson up the stairs.

Maybe it's because Ferguson rarely works here, so the office looks a little shabby, and he doesn't even have a computer or anything, and Ye Qiu is a little skeptical, does this old guy know how to use a computer?

"What are you laughing at?" Ferguson was pouring wine, red wine has become the best decoration in this office, and the wine table is the office that should have been used to put the computer, the two of them sit one mile and one away, and there are two bottles of red wine in the middle.

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, he didn't dare to say it, otherwise it would be a shame to be driven out of the city directly.

"Come on, try it, it tastes good!" Ferguson raised his wine glass, leaned in front of Ye Qiu, smacked, and then brought it to his lips and took a sip, it seemed that he was very good.

Ye Qiu was polite, not much, he was a little unaccustomed to this taste.

"I kind of regret it now!" Ferguson didn't care how much Ye Qiu drank, looked at Ye Qiu and smiled, "You know, if I really make the effort to dig up Lucio this summer, I will take him down 100%, even you can't stop him!" ”

When he said this, Ferguson was full of the momentum of a superior person, with the domineering spirit of those who follow me and perish.

Ye Qiu does not deny this, Ajax is not a giant team in the final analysis, and the teams in the Eredivisie are much inferior to the teams of the four major leagues in terms of financial resources, material resources, and influence.

In the past, information was not developed, and Ajax could rely on a perfect scouting network to dig out some players, cultivate them, and then compete with the four major leagues, but now the teams in the four major leagues have begun to pay attention to youth training, and giants like Manchester United and Arsenal have directly opened youth training all over the world, which is equivalent to cutting off Ajax's financial route.

The disadvantage of informatization is that there are almost no pearls covered in dust.

Ibrahimovic played in the second division of Sweden, but as soon as he performed well, he was immediately taken seriously by Arsenal and almost got into the Gunners; Van der Vaart had just made a show in the youth team and almost went to Barcelona; There are other players, basically as long as they are slightly more talented, they are targeted by the teams in the big four leagues as soon as they emerge.

For them, as long as one out of ten people can gain a foothold in the first team, then they will make money, and the cost of poaching them is lower than that of a small team, because they have enough fame and influence.

In this case, if Manchester United really wants Lucio, as long as the price is high enough, even if Ye Qiu is forced to resign, it is difficult for Van Praag to refuse, because for Ajax, selling people for arbitrage has become one of the most important sources of income for the team.

Of course, in the past few years that Ye Qiu has been in charge of the team, he has achieved excellent results and has a lot of prize money, but this is unstable.

For the club, the manager is not as important as he thinks.

Unless you can be like Alex Ferguson, the current football environment is not the 80s.

"Even if you poach Lucio, I'll still be a victor standing here today, and you'll still be a loser!" Ye Qiu was also uncomfortable in his heart, although he knew that this was the truth, but he couldn't stand being said to his face.

Ferguson smiled after hearing this, and nodded incessantly, "I heard that you are tough enough, not bad, not bad." ”

After a pause, Ferguson said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't plan to dig Lucio anymore, I just said that I regret it a little, after all, we have suffered a big loss in these two games." ”

The heavy investment in a Rio Ferdinand is already a hidden danger at the back, and if there is another Lucio who likes to plug in the attack, won't it turn the entire Manchester United back line into a minefield?

"Let's just say it, I don't think you're just asking me to drink!" Ye Qiu finally saw the true purpose of this old guy clearly, this time he was not polite, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then unceremoniously poured himself a large glass, anyway, this wine doesn't look cheap, don't drink it for nothing.

Ferguson smiled, "Have you ever thought about selling Van der Vaart?" ”

Ye Qiu was stunned, Van der Vaart?

But he soon figured out that Ferguson was going to sell Beckham!

Although Van der Vaart is a left-footed general, he can play on the right side, after being transformed by Ye Qiu, he can rush and pass on the right side, and after pulling to the middle, he can also do the work of taking the ball and organizing it, which is indeed a sight to everyone.

Gary? Neville is not the master of Anfen, this guy also has a strong desire to attack, in the past, Beckham cooperated with him, and now Ferguson intends to learn from Ajax's right-wing attacking combination, Van der Vaart cut, Gary? Neville stepped forward to fill the hole created by David Beckham's departure.

In this way, if Ye Qiu did not guess wrong, Veron would be a member of Ferguson's reliance, because without Beckham, Manchester United would be inseparable from Veron's long pass, and maybe Ferguson now has the idea of moving Keane.

Reform, if we don't overthrow the old potential, how can we establish a new potential?

Ye Qiu thought of this and looked at Ferguson, who didn't say anything, and drank over there with a wine glass.

"I'm sorry, Van der Vaart is not for sale!" Ye Qiu unceremoniously and directly refused.

Ferguson smiled after hearing this, but he was not reluctant, anyway, he just said, first pull a personal relationship with Ye Qiu, "It's okay, let's have a chance to talk next time, drink!" ”

…………

…………

When he walked out of Old Trafford, Ye Qiu still had a chill in his heart.

Ferguson was so ruthless that he could sacrifice his feelings.

Beckham and Keane, both of whom have been old courtiers who have followed him for many years, now for the needs of the team, give up when they say they give up, and it seems that there is not much hesitation, just for this point, Ye Qiu is far inferior to him.

Of course, it's not that Ferguson is ruthless, but that he can not be bound by feelings.

Those who achieve great things should be decided, this is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, who can say that they will be able to do it?

It's like now, Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart and Robben and others have great respect for Ye Qiu and treat Ye Qiu as a mentor, if they have to be sold because of the needs of the team at this time, Ye Qiu will definitely hesitate, maybe he will still choose to sell it after the worst time, but it will definitely not be in the way of Ferguson.

Does that mean that you are too kind?

Does that mean that you are not decisive enough to kill and not be considered a qualified manager?

Ye Qiu was puzzled by this question, especially when he thought of Alex Ferguson, a famous coach with a transcendent position in European football.

Back in Amsterdam and back home, Ye Qiu's mind was still hovering around this question, which made him look sad, and under Eliza's questioning, he expressed his confusion.

"Are you also worried that one day you will become like this?" Eliza is dressed in sexy pajamas, but is directly ignored by someone sitting across from her.

Ye Qiu didn't answer, this was a tacit acquiescence.

After Eliza saw it, the corners of her mouth were very charming, and a smile flashed, "You know, everyone will encounter many, many things in their life, and in the face of many, many different choices, you can't do everything to satisfy everyone, and you can't guarantee that every choice is very correct." ”

"What about you, to put it nicely, it's perfectionism, you want to do your best in everything, you want everyone to give you a thumbs up, but to put it mildly, that's asking for hardship, you think, how can everyone be satisfied with you? It's inevitable that someone will always criticize you behind your back. ”

Ye Qiu looked at Eliza, he had to admit that Eliza really knew him, sometimes even better than himself, which made him unable to think of anything to refute.

"You say Ferguson is too ruthless, I don't deny it, but I don't think he is ruthless, because he knows very well what he wants? He knows exactly what his goal is? So, on his way to this goal, anyone who stands in his way, he can kick away without hesitation, sometimes even himself! ”

Eliza's words made Ye Qiu stunned, because these words touched him too much.

"Everyone should know what they want, just like you, you often say that you want to be the best coach in the world, is this the most important thing in your life? If so, then you want to sell Ibrahimovic, sell Van der Vaart, why can't you? Because of feelings? If that's the case, prove that feelings are more important than your ideals! ”

Seeing Ye Qiu's thoughtful expression, Eliza sighed, left her seat, sat next to Ye Qiu, and gently patted Ye Qiu's shoulder, "Sometimes, you just like to drill the tip of the horns too much." ”

Maybe it was seeing that Ye Qiu was not persuaded by her, she smiled, "Tell you a story." ”

When Ye Qiu looked at her, she began to say: "A good friend of mine who lives in Paris, the family is very rich, she met a man, this man is very good and talented, everything is perfect, but he is very poor, but he is very self-motivated, he often says that what he wants to do most in his life is to become the best fashion designer in the world." ”

"What about my friend, it's very interesting, she has been very good at everything since she was a child, we all call her a genius, she is very good at what she does, there is almost nothing she doesn't understand, my skills in this body are all learned from her, far inferior to her, but she is very emotional, she is not like those who live in Paris, she is not romantic at all, she is not affectionate, she is very single-minded."

Ye Qiu heard it a little strangely, Eliza was already very good in his eyes, and her friend was even better than her?

Isn't that a god?

"I once asked her, I said, why do you learn so many things? Guess how she answered? She told me that I felt that it was not enough, because I was worried that one day I would meet the person I loved, but I would not be able to help him, and her wish was to help the person she loved and achieve her biggest dream. ”

"Then this girl is quite ...... Dedicated! "Ye Qiu originally wanted to say stupid, but after thinking about it, forget it.

"She really met this perfect and wonderful man, his biggest dream is to become the best fashion designer, the only flaw is poverty, but my friend doesn't care at all, she told him, I will help you achieve your dream, so the two formed a company together."

"But it didn't take long for the company to run into difficulties and it couldn't continue, but at this time, my friend's family found the man, and they were willing to contribute a sum of money to help the company tide over the difficulties, and even willing to help him expand his business, but the premise was that the man had to leave my friend."

Ye Qiu was a little surprised when he heard it, dreams and feelings, "How do you choose that man?" ”

Eliza shook her head and smiled, even with a little sarcasm, "He didn't have a choice, he didn't hesitate to take the check, signed the contract, and now in less than five years, he is already one of the most famous fashion designers in Paris." ”

"Where's your friend?" Ye Qiu asked with concern.

"It's been a long time!" Eliza laughed and said, "I heard that I left Paris, and I don't know where she went, and I can't find her." ”

Ye Qiu was silent, he didn't know what to say about it, perhaps, sometimes the reality is so cruel, so cruel that you shouldn't have your own dreams at all.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you this, I'm not actually trying to say bad things about that man, you know, my friend's biggest dream is to help the person she loves realize her dreams, you see, she did it, and that man's biggest dream is to become the best designer, and he is the best."

"It's just that in the process, they all have to give up some things, so what I want to tell you is, don't doubt yourself, always be clear about what is most important to you, then when you make a choice, you won't hesitate, you won't hesitate."

Ye Qiu watched Eliza go upstairs speechlessly, and after hearing her friend's story, he suddenly felt that he was very lucky.

Luckily, at least he doesn't have to choose between career and love.

This also made him firm in his belief again, he will not become Ferguson, nor will he become that man, he is Ye Qiu, the unique Ye Qiu, he will use his own way to go his own way and fulfill his dream.
