The Godfather of Football

I have to admit that there is some truth to the saying that people who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black.

I don’t know if she has a close relationship with Eliza. Anyway, Huang Chu’s clothes have become more and more fashionable recently, and she has a style that is not inferior to those of celebrities. In addition, she already looks good. It is elegant and refined, so it attracts attention wherever you go.

In the departure hall of Amsterdam International Airport, she encountered an embarrassment.

The clothes she chose were also very simple, a milky white pleated suspender T-shirt, paired with a pair of close-fitting jeans so deep blue that it was almost black, and a pair of high heels that were slightly higher than normal. They were all very ordinary outfits. It doesn't have the personality of those celebrities, but when she wears it, she has a fresh temperament.

A pair of fair and pink arms were exposed on both sides of the suspender T-shirt. The wrist chain and engagement ring on it discouraged many men who wanted to strike up a conversation. Many women showed envy and jealousy. They were obviously Recognizing that these jewelry were valuable, many people were speculating on Huang Chu's origins, but no one was willing to step forward to disturb him.

At this moment, a little boy about ten years old ran up excitedly, holding a pen and a notebook in his hand. He ran up to Huang Chu and raised his head, "Sister, are you a star? ? Can you sign it for me?"

Huang Chu was a little embarrassed and quickly shook her head, "No, I'm not a star." After saying that, she touched the little boy's head with a bright smile. Seeing him go back disappointed, she felt happy in her heart.

No one can escape this hurdle if a woman pleases her appearance.

Soon, the announcement in the departure hall announced that the flight from China to Amsterdam had arrived.

Huang Chu walked towards the pick-up port and found that there were not many people here, so he just found a place to stand and wait.

Not long after, Ye Qiu's parents were seen walking out side by side, each carrying a large bag of luggage.

"Uncle, aunt!" Huang Chu waved to them.

"Ah Chu!" Zhang Yuxiu recognized Huang Chu at a glance and immediately walked over with her husband.

"Where is Ye Qiu?" Ye Changming didn't see his son and was a little surprised.

Huang Chu smiled and took the luggage from Zhang Yuxiu's hand, holding her hand, "Ye Qiu was originally going to come together, but he had an impromptu meeting, but he said he would go home for lunch at noon, so let's go back first! "

Ye Changming and his wife are very satisfied with this well-behaved and beautiful daughter-in-law. Although Ye Qiu initiated their trip to Europe this time, they all know that it is not a big deal if their son is busy with work and did not come to pick him up at the airport. .

"What did you bring? It's so heavy!" Huang Chu weighed the luggage as he walked.

Zhang Yuxiu chuckled, "It's all food. That kid was very picky and said he hadn't eaten anything from home for a long time. So, I'll bring him more. And your Dutch friend Eliza, too." If you like it, if it’s too much, give it away.”

After hearing this, Huang Chu smiled in his heart. It seemed that there was no custom of giving food away here, but he didn't tell anyone. He took Zhang Yuxiu's hand and walked to the parking lot outside the gate.

Ye Qiu now owns two Ferraris, one is the 550 he bought first, and the other is the Enzo he bought recently. They are both two-door and two-seater. Eliza's Audi TT cannot carry people, so Ye Qiu wants to pick up his parents in order to On the plane, Roland's Audi A4 was specially borrowed. Fortunately, he had this car, otherwise the two large bags of luggage would not be able to fit in.

After leaving the airport, we went directly onto the highway. In less than 5 minutes, we got off the intersection of Amstelveen and entered Ye Qiu's community. The environment here made both Ye Changming and his wife full of praise.

Xiamen is already considered a city with a very good environment in China, but compared with here, it still has some shortcomings.

"Almost all are short houses!" Ye Changming also came here for the first time. He used to think that Amsterdam should be full of high-rise buildings, but now it seems that they are not very high, and the houses are only two or three stories.

"This is a residential area, only two or three floors. In the urban area, there will be more high-rise buildings, but not as many as in China." Huang Chu said while driving.

Not long after, the car stopped steadily in front of the house.

As soon as she heard the sound of the car, Eliza rushed from the living room and opened the door.

"Welcome, uncle, aunt!" This Dutch girl is so cute and sweet.

Ye Qiu has lived here for almost four years. With his conditions, he could have lived in a larger and more spacious place, or simply bought a luxurious villa in the north of Amstelveen. It would be better to It was close to the Amstel River, but he still felt more accustomed to living here, so he never moved.

This house is two stories, not big, and has a building-within-a-building design. There are three rooms upstairs. In addition to the living room and kitchen and dining room, there is only one room downstairs. It used to be rented to Ibrahimovic. It has always been empty, but now it is being packed up for Ye Qiu's parents to live in.

"Originally, Ye Qiu said that he would arrange for you to stay in a hotel. He said that the rooms here are small, and he was afraid that you might not be used to it, but I think uncle and aunt would prefer to live at home. It should be smaller when they are young." Huang Chu Show them the room and explain.

Zhang Yuxiu was very satisfied with the arrangement of her future daughter-in-law, and clapped her hand happily. When she arrived at her son's house, why would she stay in a hotel? No matter how shabby or bad it is, it is still my son's home. No matter how comfortable the hotel is, it will never be as comfortable as home.

"It's okay, we don't have any requirements for where we live. We used to live in that small house as a family of three, didn't we get through it?" Ye Changming also felt comfortable living at home, and went to put things away with a smile.

"Uncle, aunt, you rest first, I'll prepare lunch." Huang Chu said with a smile.

"I'll do it!" Zhang Yuxiu just sat down on the bed and stood up again.

"No, no, you rest, I'll go!" Huang Chu quickly stopped her.

Ye Changming watched happily from the side and grabbed his wife, "Achu is right, we are guests at her house and she should cook. Also, Achu, don't call me uncle or aunt in the future. You have to change your words." !”

Zhang Yuxiu kept smiling after hearing this. Seeing her son grow up and start a family, she, as a mother, felt so happy. She kept nodding her head, "Yes, I am getting married soon. I have to change my mind."

Huang Chu was so amused by his two future father-in-law and mother-in-law that his ears turned red. He ran out as fast as he could, leaving Ye Changming and his wife laughing behind him. They were not tired from the long journey. Woolen cloth?

Ye Qiu's impromptu meeting was about determining Ajax's accommodation in Manchester.

This time, the Ajax management gave the coaching staff the greatest power to live wherever they wanted. As a result, Ye Qiu asked Bobby Harms and Van Basten to make a special trip and finally decided on the Intercontinental Hotel. .

It's a coincidence that the hotel where Abramovich stayed when he met Ye Qiu was said to be one of the best hotels in Manchester. The other Edward VII Hotel was given to him by his opponent in the final, Real Madrid. Checked in.

After finalizing the hotel, Ajax had to arrange for someone to rush over to finalize the contract. The next step was to start preparations, such as sending some things that the team needs in their daily life and diet, because as usual, the ball The team's chef will also travel to Manchester with the team to ensure that the players' eating habits do not change.

As for the ingredients, they are delivered from Amsterdam every day to ensure fresh supply.

Although Ajax will only stay in Manchester for two days and one night, there are many things that need to be prepared, from housing, food, entertainment to the team's daily training, etc. These all need to be prepared in advance, leaving it to Ajax. Si didn't have much time, after all, it was impossible to prepare for this kind of thing in advance.

Before, who knew Ajax could reach the final?

Since the second leg of the semi-finals, Ajax has been busy preparing for the final. After that, in the 32nd round, the team bloodbathed Graf Sharp at home 7:1. This unlucky relegated team has been relegated for two consecutive games. The game was bloodbathed and 14 goals were conceded. It can be said that morale has hit rock bottom.

After this round of games, Ajax still maintained a 7-point lead over PSV and won the Eredivisie championship two rounds ahead of schedule. Ye Qiu has also decided that in the next two rounds of the Eredivisie, In League One, the team will arrange substitutes and young players to play in the lineup to ensure that the main lineup can fully devote themselves to preparations for the Dutch Cup finals and the Champions League finals.

Especially in the Champions League and the Dutch Cup final, the opponent is Utrecht. Ye Qiu is quite confident about this opponent.

Afterwards, Ajax challenged Twente away in the 33rd round. Although most of the substitutes played, Ajax still defeated Twente 2:1 with the goals of Kolo Toure and Van der Meyde. Winter.

On the second day after defeating Twente, Ye Qiu's parents arrived in Amsterdam. Ye Qiu hoped that they could come to participate in his first Champions League final, and also stop by the Arena Stadium to participate in Ajax's final. The 34th round match against Heerenveen, because there will be a ceremony to receive the Eredivisie championship trophy after the game.

After the 34th round of the Eredivisie, there is another Dutch Cup final at the De Kuip Stadium in Rotterdam, and finally the Champions League final. This time, Ye Qiu is ambitious and wants to win the Triple Crown and impress fans all over the world. Please remember his name.

On normal days, Ye Qiu would usually eat in the club's restaurant with the players at noon. This is also a habit of the football club. There is also a dormitory where you can rest at noon. But today Ye Qiu's parents came. He made a special trip home.

It's not far, so it's very convenient to drive.

As soon as I parked the car in front of my home, I heard the laughter of my mother Zhang Yuxiu, Huang Chu and Eliza talking inside. Eliza, a foreign girl, spoke a kind of crooked Chinese that sometimes made people listen. I don’t understand it, but it’s very interesting, especially since her voice is very clear and has a unique flavor when speaking.

Youdao is a drama about three women. These three people got together and didn’t know what they were discussing. But later on, Huang Chu could clearly be heard saying that Ye Qiu was back. It was obvious that this girl was thinking about Ye Qiu. .

When Ye Qiu walked in, he found them in the living room, but did not see his father Ye Changming.

"Where's my dad?" Ye Qiu looked around but didn't see him.

"He said he was very tired and went to bed!" Zhang Yuxiu said with a smile.

"Have you eaten?" Ye Qiu asked again.

Huang Chu shook his head, "Originally I said to eat first, but mom said I would wait for you to come back."

"Oh," Ye Qiu responded casually. Just as he was about to walk towards the kitchen, he took one foot out and stopped again. He turned back to look at Huang Chu. He saw that the girl's ears were turning red before he smiled playfully. , "I said, who do you call mom?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Huang Chu came over in anger and pinched the guy's arm fiercely.

"Are you so anxious to get married? You haven't even gotten married yet, and you haven't even applied for a marriage certificate yet, so you're anxious to call me mom." Ye Qiu muttered as he walked towards the kitchen, ignoring the laughter of the people behind him.

"What's wrong with her calling me mom? I asked her to call her that. Look how good Achu is. You brat like you only know how to bully others!" As she said this, my mother was very chivalrous and righteous. Taking Huang Chu's hand, "Don't be afraid, Ah Chu. If this brat dares to bully you, I will help you deal with him."

The family sat and ate together, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

When Eliza was eating, she asked about Ye Qiu's meeting. She thought it was related to the players or Ye Qiu's stay, but Ye Qiu just said that this meeting was to finalize the team's stay in Manchester. Hotel and training venue.

Regarding the training ground, Ajax will borrow Manchester City's training ground this time, while Real Madrid will borrow Manchester United's Carrington. The two groups are next door, which really feels like they are facing each other.

As for the issue of team transfer, the management has not made any statement now. To be honest, in the past, the management asked Ye Qiu for his opinion on these matters. Ye Qiu gave his own ideas and they took care of it. But now they have not asked. , obviously had other plans, and now Ye Qiu's own fate has not yet been resolved, so he can only continue to delay.

However, there is no shortage of places for this group of Ajax players. Many players have been offered high prices, such as Ibrahimovic, who is worth at least 30 million euros, and players like Van der Vaart and Robben. They are also priced at 20-25 million euros, and Sneijder, Arteta, Lucio and others are also around 1,500. Among them, Lucio is even rumored to be worth more than 20 million euros. These are players who can sell for sky-high prices.

There is news that if Ajax sells all these players, it will be able to recover at least 150 million euros in transfer revenue. It is conceivable what amazing benefits Ye Qiu has brought to Ajax over the years. ?

Needless to say about the results, just the appreciation of the players is enough to benefit Ajax.

Moreover, the team has reached the Champions League final this season. Although the income is definitely not as good as that of a giant like Real Madrid, on the whole, with the income from the Champions League alone, including bonuses and broadcast fee sharing, will Ajax be able to win the Champions League without winning the championship? The income is 40 million euros. If you add the game tickets and match day operating income, it will be even higher.

Many people are wondering why the Amsterdam city government is so enthusiastic about giving Ye Qiu the title of "Honorary Citizen"? He is the head coach of Ajax and has achieved good results under his leadership. Is that also Ajax’s business? Why is the city government so good?

The reason is very simple. By leading the team to the Champions League final this year, Amsterdam can at least get at least 50 million euros in direct income from tourism, consumption, sponsorship and major commercial activities from Ajax’s achievements. This does not represent the potential income in the next three years, nor the increased influence that Ajax’s championship will bring to Amsterdam.

The reason why European football has been able to thrive for a long time is because their professionalism has penetrated into all aspects. It is no longer just a matter of a club team, but affects many, many aspects, including government.

This is why so many cities are vying for the right to host the Champions League final, which is also a huge revenue.

"By the way, Ye Qiu, I heard that you are planning to change jobs?" Zhang Yuxiu suddenly thought of it while eating and asked.

Ye Qiu was stunned and didn't know how to answer, "It's not determined yet."

Zhang Yuxiu knew her son very well. Ye Qiu said he was not sure, which proved that he had this intention. Moreover, from the words of Huang Chu and Eliza, she could also hear that changing jobs would be good for her son's career, so she Not against it, but very supportive.

"We don't understand what's going on with you, and we don't understand what's going on with you young people, but our idea is very simple. Let us have a grandchild as soon as possible. So, if you want to change jobs, don't jump too far. A Chu is not Are you in the UK? See if there is anyone suitable for you. You can’t be married while the two of you are still so far apart, right?”

Zhang Yuxiu is an old-school approach, so she feels that the husband and wife will follow each other, but she also knows that Huang Chu also wants to have his own career, and he is a top student at Cambridge University. I heard that the hospital where she works attaches great importance to the internship stage. She is being cultivated in key areas, and she has just married into the Ye family, so she can't let her give up her job, right?

Her son could speak for himself, so she said this, but it was just for reference.

"Well, I understand, think about it!" Ye Qiu nodded.

Even now, he has not had in-depth contact with any team. Of course, Barcelona is at the forefront. Cruyff has talked with him several times, but frankly speaking, Ye Qiu is also interested in taking over Barcelona. My own worry is, after all, how much power can such a wealthy team give him? And if he doesn't have enough power, can he control the team as he wishes?

He can even think about it more deeply. If the team's transfer power is not in his hands, how can he possibly build the team he wants?

There is another factor, that is, Spain is indeed too far away from the UK.

Amsterdam is relatively close to London, but we can only see each other once a week at most. If I go to Spain after getting married, how long will it take for us to see each other?

I don’t care, but after getting married, leaving Huang Chu alone in London is cruel.

Huang Chu is more considerate of this problem. She has always said that Ye Qiu can do whatever he wants. Anyway, she will graduate in more than a year, and she can find a job in the city where Ye Qiu is.

Sometimes when I think about it, it is really a headache!
