The Godfather of Football

Chapter 19 Do you still dare to gamble?

"I think I really like coaching!"

At the bus stop of the Arena Stadium, on the way to Detok Most, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu walked side by side.

The air is very fresh, because there is a large green pasture to the west of Detok Most, and the greening of the entire Arena Stadium and Detok Most is very well done.

"Oh, so you didn't like coaching before?" Huang Chu looked at him strangely.

"No!" Ye Qiu shook his head, "I...actually am just a competitive person!"

I can tell! Huang Chu didn't say anything, but he nodded.

Perhaps this has a lot to do with his previous life. After all, he has never done anything spectacular in his previous life. His job can only ensure that he does not starve to death, nothing more. He has never picked up girls, and his biggest hobby is watching movies. Football games, and just hiding in a small house and being a complete homebody.

But often the more such a person is, the more sensitive their psychology is, the stronger their competitiveness, and the less they want to be looked down upon.

Therefore, after Ye Qiu traveled through time, he felt very unhappy when he met Westerhoff and wanted to fire him, especially Westerhoff's dismissive attitude. Being in the Netherlands, a place he was unfamiliar with, what was there that he wouldn't dare to do?

So he fought with Westerhoff!

"If you had asked me a few days ago why I want to coach, I would have told you because I don't want to be looked down upon!"

Huang Chu looked sideways at this compatriot. They were about the same age, and Ye Qiu was also very good-looking. She had also heard more or less about Ye Qiu's affairs at Ajax. She really felt that Ye Qiu was very good-looking. Qiu is amazing, a person who constantly strives for self-improvement.

Maybe everyone doesn’t want to be looked down upon by others, but some people will resist and do something, but some people won’t. The former are great people regardless of success or failure. As for the latter...

Ye Qiu didn't know what Huang Chu was thinking. He just wanted to discuss his current mood with her.

Yesterday, I killed the Forward Eagle and defeated a professional team. Even if it was a professional team that performed poorly in the Dutch second league, it was still a professional team. For Ye Qiu, this was already a very, very happy thing. thing.

"Have you discovered anything since you came to the Netherlands?"

"What?"

“Actually, it’s quite exclusive here!”

"Really?" Huang Chu didn't think that Amsterdam was a famous immigrant city in the world.

“In the documents of the Amsterdam city government, they will use Allochtoon to describe Chinese or other foreign immigrants. However, in the Netherlands, the official explanation of this word is also very vague, but everyone who knows the Netherlands knows that this is a country full of people. racially charged words.”

"They look down on us and all immigrants. This should be their pride as Westerners!"

Huang Chu has also heard of this matter. There is no official translation of this word, but everyone knows that it is specifically used to describe yellow people or black immigrants in the Netherlands, even if they are born after the marriage of a yellow person and a Dutch person. The mixed-race children still fall within the scope of this term.

The corresponding word is Atuochtoon, which describes those native-born, pure Dutch people.

"I knew from the day I came to Ajax that many, many of them looked down on me, but I was not afraid or worried. On the contrary, Westhof wanted to kick me out. From the day of Detok Most, I told myself that I absolutely must prove to them that they are wrong, and they are very, very wrong!”

Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled, a little self-deprecating, "Do you think I'm arrogant?"

"A little bit!" Huang Chu stretched out his right hand and made a very, very small gesture with his index finger and thumb. "But I don't think you did anything wrong. If it were me, you would definitely do the same!"

"A close friend!" Ye Qiu smiled, pretending to be happy to meet each other at such a late date.

"Go to hell!" Huang Chu chuckled and cursed.

"However, I have begun to like coaching again, because I really like the feeling of defeating the opponent and becoming a high-ranking winner. I also enjoy the process of becoming a winner. It is thrilling and touching!"

Huang Chu looked at Ye Qiu. She felt that Ye Qiu liked coaching, but in the final analysis it was his competitiveness that was at work. But what's wrong with that? Isn't it true that a person, especially a man, should be competitive and refuse to admit defeat?

Besides, in her opinion, Ye Qiu was not the kind of person who would do anything to win!

Some people are very complicated and you may not be able to understand them even after being together for more than ten years, but some people are very simple and you can see through them at a glance.

In Huang Chu's eyes, Ye Qiu undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

"By the way, my dear friend, will our family cook for lunch today?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Huang Chufen's face turned red with embarrassment, like a beautiful tulip, "Go away, don't call me a confidant, you're disgusting!"

Seeing the little beauty walking quickly towards the medical department, Ye Qiu's mind suddenly flashed to Huang Chu in a white coat. He shook his head vigorously, "I'll stop you, the uniform is too tempting, damn it." You little Japanese devil, you’re still tormenting me after traveling through time!”

Just as Ye Qiu walked towards his office, he saw Roland looking for him everywhere.

"Westhoff informed you to go to the second floor for a meeting!"

"What's the matter?" Ye Qiu was surprised. Why would this turtle bastard come to him for no reason?

"I heard that Go Ahead Eagles sued you!"

"Oh my god!"

…………

The Dutch Cup is a traditional cup competition in the Netherlands. For traditional strong teams such as Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, this cup competition is just an optional event. There is no generous prize money and no sense of honor worth coveting. The biggest reward is to be able to participate in the previous Cup Winners' Cup and the current UEFA Cup.

Ajax won the league and cup double championship in the 97/98 season. Olsen's team led the remnants of the golden age left by Van Gaal to create the last afterglow of the Ajax dynasty. However, after that, core players such as Litmanen and the De Boer brothers left the team one after another, and with the retirement of the old captain Blind, it can be said that some left and some scattered.

In the 1998/99 season, Ajax's performance plummeted, and they almost missed the European competition. In the end, they saved some face by winning the Dutch Cup, but they were also ridiculed by their two major opponents, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord.

It is not difficult to see from this that the Dutch Cup is more of a fig leaf for the traditional top three teams, but for those small and medium-sized teams, it is their only chance to show themselves and even get a glimpse of the European competition stage. So let alone the Eagles, even the middle and lower teams in the Eredivisie attach more importance to the Dutch Cup.

A decisive game, the Eagles lost, but they lost unconvinced!

"Obviously, some of your words and behaviors in the game are not in line with the traditional style of Ajax!" Westhoff didn't want to meet Ye Qiu, but that didn't mean he wouldn't give Ye Qiu a hard time, not to mention that the Eagles, who were legitimate, called Ajax to protest.

Sitting in the conference room were all high-level people, including Chairman Van Praag, Head Coach Waters, Technical Director Leo Benhakker, and Hans Westhoff, the head of De Tokmost. Ye Qiu had the lowest position here.

"I don't know where I lost the traditional style of Ajax?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Westhoff was also annoyed, "You know what you said and did in the game. More than one person heard it at that time, and you shouted so loudly!"

"Then the Go Ahead Eagles don't have it?" Ye Qiu asked again, "They squeezed our players with their bodies, and they used some small actions to interfere with our players. Is this the traditional style of their Go Ahead Eagles? And what you call the traditional style of Ajax is to endure these? If so, Mr. Westhoff, you are fucking great!"

After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he deliberately gave a thumbs up, full of sarcasm.

"You..." Westhoff was so angry with him.

But this matter was indeed a fuss by him, because he was obviously going to cause trouble for Ye Qiu.

"There's nothing much to say about this matter. Go Ahead Eagles lost, and they are not convinced. We don't need to accompany them in their nonsense. Who wins and who loses is decided in the game. It's not necessarily glorious to call and complain about the head coach after the game!" Van Praag directly defined the matter.

With his connections, status and influence in Dutch football, Go Ahead Eagles is not taken seriously by him. This is why the latter dare not sue the Football Association. If they really anger this big guy, they will not be able to eat and will have to take it away.

"Okay, let's not talk about you!" Westhoff also noticed that Van Praag valued Ye Qiu very much, "Let's talk about your player named Eric Abidal. He was sent off with a red card in two consecutive games. What are you going to do?"

"Warning!" Ye Qiu said confidently.

"The last game was already a warning!" Westhoff reminded him with anger.

Ye Qiu nodded, "I know, so I'll give him another warning this time!"

"So are you going to condone him and protect him?" Westhoff was unhappy again.

Ye Qiu was puzzled. Why was this old man unhappy all day?

Simply ignoring the Dutch old man with endocrine disorders, Ye Qiu looked directly at Van Praag, "Special cases require special treatment. I am optimistic about Abidal. This player is very talented and has potential, but he has never received professional football training in the past. He has always played in amateur leagues, so it is inevitable that he will not adapt to the rules of professional leagues."

"In this case, what we should give is help and encouragement, not punishment!"

Westhof couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, "How do you know that he will definitely be able to succeed?"

Ye Qiu was also unhappy and retorted: "I heard that you have always advocated that the club should introduce Harris Huizinger, the center of Heerenveen. Then what do you base your conclusion on? This striker who has never scored double-digit goals in the professional league since his debut will definitely be able to improve the team's forward strength?"

"Just based on my judgment!" Westhof was angry.

He and Huizinger worked together during their time in Groningen. The 26-year-old center is not a traditional powerful center in the Netherlands. He is tall, 1.89 meters tall but weighs 93 kilograms. Strength and power confrontation are his advantages. He is full of impact and is the kind of fulcrum type of person who can rush to the front.

He didn't score many goals, mainly because he took on more of a supporting role in the game. This summer, he switched from Groningen to Heerenveen and immediately became the main force of Heerenveen's front line, helping this team suddenly become the Eredivisie. The second place, but this player has a lot of off-field news, and he is also a troublemaker.

There is indeed a problem with the current Ajax forward line. This is already a consensus. Brian Laudrup and Grenciar both need a strong center in front, but Aveladze and Mahras are not performing enough. Stable, and both players are about 1.8 meters tall, and their physical confrontation is relatively average.

Therefore, after being promoted to the first team, Westhoff advocated the introduction of his old disciple. He believed that Huizinge's characteristics could greatly supplement the shortcomings of Ajax's forward line and improve Ajax's performance. Chris's frontcourt intimidation.

Ye Qiu didn't know Huizinger's characteristics very well, nor did he know the person well, but this time he used it to refute Westhoff.

"Oh, this is interesting. Your judgment must be right, and my judgment must be wrong. Okay, you have the final say. Why do you still want to ask me? Just say it directly What do you want to do? Isn't it okay?" Ye Qiu spat, full of disdain.

This group of guys are all obsessed with the struggle for power, and they all feel that they are awesome, and others must not be.

There is a saying that is right, those who do not think good things about others should not think good things about themselves!

After a pause, Ye Qiu suddenly smiled, "Or do you dare to make another bet with me?"

These words made Westerhoff's face change greatly. He had regarded losing to Ye Qiu in the previous game as a lifelong shame. No one had dared to mention it in front of him. Now, Ye Qiu exposed the scar. Suddenly he grinned in pain.

"Okay, stop arguing!" Van Praag waved his hand to interrupt what Westhoff was about to say.

The chairman personally came forward, and Westhoff had no choice but to endure.

"Since we have made it clear before, the affairs of the second team will now be left to Ye Qiu to handle. I believe Ye Qiu has the ability to handle these matters, whether it is Abidal's red card or the complaint from Forward Eagle, That’s it!”

Van Praag's words put this matter to an end. Now he also has a headache, because Ajax has obviously split into three factions, Waters, Westhoff and Ye Qiu. , and Leo Benhak, the old fox, is still hiding behind, and I don’t know what he thinks.

There is a saying that it is easier to invite gods than to send them away. Van Praag also deeply regretted his previous decision!

Among the three factions, Van Praag admires Ye Qiu more because Ye Qiu has achieved great results and is almost never involved in power struggles. However, he is too young. On the contrary, Waters and West Hoff, what they think most about is not the results of leading the team, but how to attract more power.

"I won't say much else, I will just say one thing." Waters did not refute Van Praag's words, but said another thing, "I heard some news that some people said that the second team's tactical style was too To be conservative, I think it should be noted that we do not require the second team to produce results, but we need the second team to cultivate talents that the first team can use.”

This was a bit cryptic, implying that Ye Qiu's tactics were too conservative.

"Okay, next time I meet the Forward Eagles, I play against them, and they score eight out of ten goals. I guess this should satisfy those who complained!" Ye Qiu chuckled and said There are also thorns in it.

This is Ye Qiu's style. I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will fight back.

"However, I'm afraid that someone will say that my coaching ability is too bad. I know that I am not as strong as my opponent, but I still go to fight with my opponent arrogantly. To be honest, it is difficult for me to handle it. Or, who can teach me? What do I do?”

Even Waters couldn't answer this time.

He had to admit that Ye Qiu was really good at talking and could always find a place for him to make sense.

However, Ye Qiu did not continue to fight back. Instead, he remained silent and stopped talking.

"That's it!" Van Praag directly brought the meeting to an end this time. He could tell that Ye Qiu's second team performed well, and neither Westhoff nor Waters could see it. He was fine, so I gave him some eye drops.

"Haha, no matter what, I still want to congratulate Ye Qiu. Your team has reached the fourth round of the Dutch Cup. It's not easy. Keep up the good work!" Only then did Leo Benhak say his first words, And with a little encouragement.

But Ye Qiu felt a little creepy, always feeling that this old boy had evil intentions.

In the fourth round of the Dutch Cup, a total of 16 teams competed against each other. Now the Ajax first team and the Ajax second team have entered respectively. This is the only one in the Dutch Cup, which is very disappointing for Ajax. Knicks fans rejoice.

At this moment, Van Praag's cell phone rang, and a text message came.

The Ajax chairman opened his phone, glanced at the text message, and frowned.

"The draw for the fourth round of the Dutch Cup is out!" Van Praag glanced at everyone, and when he saw that everyone was looking over with questions in their eyes, he continued: "The opponents drawn by the first team are not strong enough. Strong, away to Breda.”

Breda is the leader of the Dutch Eredivisie this season. Its strength is quite good in the Dutch Eredivisie, but in the Dutch Eredivisie, especially against traditional powerhouses like Ajax, it can only be considered average.

According to the rules of the Dutch Cup, when Ajax meets Breda, the game must be arranged at Breda's home court.

"Where is the second team?" Ye Qiu asked with concern.

Van Praag smiled bitterly and sighed, "The opponent of the second team is from the Dutch Eredivisie, PSV Eindhoven!"

"Wow!" Such a surprise was clearly heard in the conference room.

"Oh my god!" Ye Qiu almost swore.

But when he looked at Waters and Westhoff again and found that both of them had a gloating sneer on their faces, he immediately changed his face and laughed, "Not bad, after killing Go Ahead Eagles, if we can kill PSV Eindhoven again, it will be a feat!"

As soon as these words came out, the four people present were a little dumbfounded.

Is there something wrong with this guy's brain? Are PSV Eindhoven and Go Ahead Eagles at the same level?
