The Godfather of Football

A plane from Shanghai to Amsterdam landed slowly at the international airport in the suburbs of the city.

Not long after, Huang Jinsong walked out of the gate with Chen Zhong and several accompanying personnel from the group headquarters.

It has been rainy in the Netherlands in recent winter. The temperature is not particularly low, but it gives people a wet feeling, as if a wet towel is covering the whole head and face, a little breathless, and always feels uncomfortable all over.

"What a ghost weather in Europe!" Huang Jinsong entered the terminal hall and looked at the gloomy sky outside, always feeling uncomfortable.

"Uncle, this is your first time here, you must be a little uncomfortable!" Chen Zhong, who was following him, said with a smile. When he was working in the group, he also flew everywhere. Now he is in charge of the real estate company and travels abroad less frequently.

Huang Jinsong is a person who attaches great importance to family affection and family concepts, so he is very good to his daughter and nephew. In addition, Chen Zhong is also a capable person, so Huang Jinsong also appreciates his nephew. After listening, he smiled and shook his head, "I would rather not come, and I don't like it!"

It's true that if it is not necessary, he rarely goes abroad.

The reason why Huang Jinsong was able to temporarily transfer the busy Chen Zhong back to the group to help was mainly because this time they were going to cooperate with the world's second largest express company headquartered in the Netherlands. The business involved the logistics field that Huangtian Group has attached great importance to in recent years. It was a major matter, and Huang Jinsong was not familiar with foreign business, so he called Chen Zhong back.

Because they were asking for help, the other party did not even arrange for a reception when they arrived in Amsterdam this time.

International logistics giants look at Chinese companies with a little bit of superiority, which made Huang Jinsong, who has always been arrogant, dislike this trip from the bottom of his heart, but he finally came in person.

"Chen Zhong!" Huang Jinsong walked in front, "This time you are responsible for leading the team to negotiate, and I will support you by your side!"

"Don't worry, uncle!" Chen Zhong nodded in agreement.

A group of people walked through the huge terminal hall. As soon as they walked out, they saw a group of strange-looking guys gathered not far from the gate. They were old and young, wearing white and red clothes. Some of them even had their faces painted like monsters, but they were all shouting at a bus in the rain.

"AJAX!!" "Ye Qiu!!"

The road was blocked by this group of people. Huang Jinsong shook his head, "What are they doing? What are they shouting?"

Chen Zhong could see it, "Ajax, a football club in Amsterdam."

"Playing football?" Huang Jinsong laughed, "Hundreds of people in the rain, just to watch a game?" He thought, how boring it would be to do such a boring thing?

Chen Zhong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "They should be here to pick up the team!"

Just then, the airport ground staff and security guards came out of the hall and kept separating the crowd.

"Excuse me, please make way, thank you!"

"Excuse me, please make way!"

Huang Jinsong, Chen Zhong and others were also separated by security personnel, and when the group of fans saw this scene, they all screamed, and they looked like superstars coming, not to mention how enthusiastic they were.

Not only that, from the terminal to the outside, more and more people gathered, and even a large number of passengers saw the team coming out and cheered, and the ceiling of the entire terminal was almost blown off.

"In Europe, football has a supreme status!" Seeing that Huang Jinsong didn't understand, Chen Zhong smiled and explained, "I heard that in Germany and Italy, fans who like football can even influence the election of national leaders, and in the UK, their prime minister's appeal is not even as good as their popular stars."

"What?" Huang Jinsong couldn't believe it.

Chen Zhong laughed, "I heard that the Japanese Prime Minister came to Europe for a meeting, and the European leaders all talked about football. No one said anything about their Japanese football being rubbish, and they were treated coldly. After returning to Japan, the Prime Minister vigorously promoted football reform, and now there are many Japanese playing football in Europe." Huang Jinsong shook his head after hearing this, "My goodness, what about the level of Chinese football? Are there any of our people in Europe?" He didn't care about anything else except doing business, so he naturally didn't understand football. "Yes, there are a few Chinese players in Europe, but their performance is average, while Japanese players perform well." "Damn, the Japanese can play football better than us?" Huang Jinsong is also old-fashioned and hates the Japanese devils. Chen Zhong laughed, "However, now they envy us very much, because the Japanese can only play football in Europe, but in the past two years, we Chinese have a head coach who specializes in teaching Europeans to play football, and he has done a pretty good job." "Hey, such people are winning glory for the country!" Huang Jinsong laughed and felt very proud. Once we are abroad, we are all compatriots, and we all prosper together.

"By the way, what is the name of the man who teaches Europeans how to play football?" Huang Jinsong asked.

Chen Zhong pointed to the door of the terminal hall, and saw that the Ajax first team had been dragging their luggage and walked out one after another. They all looked energetic because they had just defeated their opponents in Lyon and returned to the top of the Champions League group, which gave Ajax a favorable position in the competition for the right to qualify for the group.

"Ye Qiu?" Huang Jinsong widened his eyes and couldn't believe it.

He would never mistake this bastard to death, because it was this Ye Qiu who abducted his daughter.

"it's him?"

Chen Zhong nodded, "If you don't believe me, go back and read the domestic newspapers. He has a lot of news, but you don't read it often."

He hadn't noticed it just now, but now that Chen Zhong said this, Huang Jinsong suddenly noticed that many fans at the scene were shouting Ye Qiu, but their pronunciation was weird and he didn't understand it for a while.

In the past, Huang Jinsong only heard that Ye Qiu was coaching a European team, but he didn't pay attention. Just forget it. Now when he came to Amsterdam, he looked at the hundreds of European fans in front of him. They were all for Ye Qiu and Aja. With the arrival of Alex, coupled with Chen Zhong's introduction just now, he couldn't help but discover that football has such a high status in Europe.

Ye Qiu, who was walking in front, dragged his suitcase and wore a crisp casual suit. He smiled and waved like celebrities meeting their fans along the way, but without stopping at all, he walked straight out of the terminal.

After leaving the gate, when Ye Qiu swept through the crowd, he noticed Chen Zhong and Huang Jinsong, who looked extremely ugly. His smile suddenly froze and stopped. He thought these two people were here to cause trouble for him.

When Huang Jinsong saw Ye Qiu stopping in front of him, he hummed, turned around and left without looking back.

Chen Zhong smiled apologetically, made a phone call gesture toward Ye Qiu, and left.

Watching them walk away, Ye Qiu quickly calmed down and got on the bus, but he was still wondering in his heart, what are they doing in Europe?

The next time I saw Chen Zhong was after the game against Fortuna Sittard.

Ye Qiu would never have thought that before the game, Chen Zhong suddenly called and asked for tickets, and asked for more than a dozen tickets at a time. Their company's delegation all came to Arena Stadium to watch this game, and Ah Jax did not mince words either, beating Fortuna Sittard 4-0 at the Arena Stadium.

After losing Hovland, this team's defense is very poor and has fallen deep into the relegation zone this season.

After the game, Ye Qiu specially invited Chen Zhong to have dinner at Jin Shouzi Chinese Restaurant.

"My uncle is here too!" Chen Zhong told Ye Qiu the good news as soon as they met.

Originally, he thought that Ye Qiu would be very happy, but in fact, Ye Qiu just smiled lightly and was noncommittal.

"To me, Achu is the most important!" Ye Qiu said lightly.

The impression Huang Jinsong gave him was not good, or even bad, because Ye Qiu never liked people who thought they were superior and wanted to trample others under their feet, but Huang Jinsong did this to him.

Or it can be said that if Huang Jinsong was not Huang Chu's father, then he would never deal with such a person.

Chen Zhong was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, is Achu okay?"

"Very good!" Ye Qiu laughed when he mentioned Huang Chu. "I studied at Cambridge University and found a part-time job outside. I study and work on weekdays and live a fulfilling life. I go over to see her whenever I have a holiday. What? all good."

Ever since Ye Qiu made a bet with Huang Jinsong, Huang Chu has never asked for even a penny from his family. Now Huang Jinsong and his wife only have their daughter’s phone number and don’t even know where Huang Chu is in Cambridge, so they have to meet each other Never seen it once.

"Actually, it's not easy for my uncle either!" Chen Zhong looked at Ye Qiu and felt that he still had something to say.

"I heard my mother say that my grandpa's family used to be very poor and he didn't have money to educate my uncle when he was a child. But my uncle was active and worked hard when he was young. He finally saved a family fortune. You know, what he did in those years If people in business don’t have a bit of wolf nature, they won’t be able to survive at all, so my uncle’s success is due to his character!”

When he said this, Chen Zhong smiled and said, "Don't tell me, I hate him sometimes, but I know that he has good intentions, because he often tells me that he wants to give the best to his family. Everything, this is the purpose of his efforts to make money, and you know, he is just a daughter, and he treats her like a darling. "

Sighing, Chen Zhong shook his head and said: "Maybe you will think that my uncle's blocking of you and A Chu is out of old ideas and feudalism, but I really feel that his starting point is just to hope that A Chu can have a Good luck, maybe his methods are wrong, but his intentions are right!”

"You are still young, Ye Qiu!" Chen Zhong laughed again and patted Ye Qiu's shoulder affectionately, "You should think about it, if you and my uncle never get along with each other, who will suffer the most? Who will be the saddest? "

"When we went to Amsterdam this time, everyone from taxi drivers and hotel waiters to chief CEOs of large companies saw that we all mentioned you, because we are all Chinese. I can see that my uncle is very fond of you. His impression has changed a bit, otherwise he wouldn’t come here to watch your game.”

"You are right to listen to me, and admit your mistake to my uncle. I know him as a person. He has a hard mouth and a soft heart. He regrets what happened this time and won't fight with you." It can be seen that Chen Zhong is like this The real purpose of this visit is to persuade them to make peace.

This was something Huang Chu's mother Chu Yun specifically told him before he went abroad.

Ye Qiu looked at Chen Zhong and smiled, "Are you worried that I will lose?"

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Chen Zhong sighed. He felt that the biggest trouble in the whole matter was that Huang Jinsong and Ye Qiu were both the kind of guys who wanted to save face and refused to admit defeat, but they wanted to get married. How could this happen?

"One billion, brother!" Chen Zhong reminded, not joking.

Ye Qiu nodded, "I know, but don't worry, I will definitely get it!"

Although the S\u0026P Index in the United States has gone up and down during this period, it is still going down as a whole. Ye Qiu has made a lot of money now. If it continues to go down, 1 billion should not be a problem, not 100 million euros. ?

Chen Zhong wanted to collapse after hearing this. Why hadn't he seen that Ye Qiu was so stubborn before?

In fact, he was a little confused about Ye Qiu's thoughts.

Ye Qiu likes Huang Chu, but he doesn't want to be criticized from behind and thinks that he is vain. If he can't come up with one billion, but takes the initiative to go to Huang Jinsong to admit his mistake, he will never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life. It's something he absolutely refuses to do.

Of course, he is not absolutely sure that he can come up with the money now, so his attitude is to delay. Anyway, if there is not one billion, at worst, he will not be your son-in-law. What else can you do to me?

But instead of being Huang Jinsong's son-in-law, he could be Huang Chu's husband, and it didn't matter much.

"Don't worry, I understand many things. I sent Huang Chu's phone number to your aunt!"

When Chen Zhong heard this, his eyes widened. Now he didn't understand what Ye Qiu was thinking.

"It seems that I can't control this matter with you!"

Ye Qiu laughed loudly after hearing this, and simply stopped talking about this topic and directly persuaded him to eat.

Sometimes the relationship between men can be very simple, as simple as just having a glass of wine and they can become friends of life and death, but it can also be very complicated, so complicated that two friends who could have been best friends have become A stranger passing by.

People who have not experienced it personally will never understand the twists and turns involved.

But Ye Qiu obviously didn't have much time to think about this problem, because after playing Fortuna Sittard, he soon ushered in the most important game of the group stage, playing against Bayer Leverkusen at home.

Leverkusen has performed very well in the Bundesliga this season. They have played a total of 11 rounds so far. They have won 8 and drawn 3, maintaining an unbeaten record. The limelight has even overshadowed Bayern Munich and last season's runner-up Schal. g04.

Ye Qiu's team is also not far behind. In the first 10 rounds of the Eredivisie, the team achieved an outstanding result of 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. The draw was in the 9th round of the league, against Ajax. The away game drew with Waalwijk 1:1.

The gap between Ajax and second-ranked PSV is currently only 3 points, and the two teams are very close to each other.

While Ajax defeated Fortuna Sittard 4:0 at home, Leverkusen defeated Stuttgart 4:1 at home. Both teams showed gratifying form. And momentum, among which Maicon, the right winger of Ajax, performed very well at the Arena Stadium and has recovered his condition.

Regarding the upcoming Champions League group match, professionals believe that this will be a key battle to determine the ranking of Group F. Barcelona plays Lyon. The problem is not big. Who loses this match at Arenal Stadium? game, then the result is likely to be a direct loss of the right to qualify in the group, especially for Ajax.

In the final round of the group stage, they will go to Camp Nou to challenge Barcelona. Everyone knows how difficult Camp Nou is to beat. If Ajax loses to Leverkusen again at the Arena, the points will be chased by Barcelona. At that time, Ajax will be at a very disadvantageous position in the Nou Camp.

"This game against Leverkusen will be our most important game so far this season. I hope all players can play 200% of their strength in the game, and I We also always believe that we can defeat our opponents at the Arena and avenge our shame!”

At the pre-match press conference, Ye Qiu seemed optimistic and confident about the match.

In the four days after playing Fortuna Sittard, Ajax conducted closed training and refused all outside influence. Even the Amsterdam Corriere della Sera was prevented from entering the training area on the grounds that Ye Qiu and the ball The team must devote themselves wholeheartedly to preparing for the war.

"Yes, there is no doubt that Leverkusen is very strong, but we have never been afraid of strong enemies. Are there not many strong teams that have fallen at our feet?" Faced with a German reporter's question, Ye Qiu chose to fight back directly. .

"Last season we defeated Roma, Liverpool and Barcelona. This season we defeated Bayern Munich and Barcelona. I don't understand why we must lose to Leverkusen?"

As for the team's goal, Ye Qiu said without hesitation: win!

"I will tell my players that for this game, we don't want a draw or a loss. We have only one goal, which is to win. I want to get three points. Only in this way can we ensure that we qualify from the group, so We will try our best to win this game! ”

What Ye Qiu said in the interview appeared on the pages of major European media one night later.

Nowadays, others speak softly and can only occupy a very small space. On the contrary, the pre-match declaration of Top Müller, the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, occupied a large space.

"We will definitely win this game, because only in this way can we ensure that we qualify from the group, and I feel that the players' condition has been adjusted very well recently, especially Ballack and Ze Roberto, who have scored consecutive goals. I am very satisfied with their performance and condition. I think they will show strong fighting power at the Arena Stadium."

"Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, I still want to say sorry to Ajax, because we must win!"

Ye Qiu was interviewed by the Amsterdam Evening Post the next morning and directly fought back.

"Mr. Top Muller, please don't apologize, because you will definitely not win!"
