The Godfather of Football

Chapter 212: Top of Europe

Florentino has never been optimistic about Del Bosque because he is too soft and lacks the decisiveness to kill.

Having been in the shopping mall for decades, he is used to seeing all kinds of people, both good people and ruthless people. He has always felt that only the latter can become a qualified manager, because the shopping mall is like a battlefield and there is no room for anything. kindness.

There is no doubt that Bosque is a very good person and a friend worthy of deep friendship, but he will not be a qualified manager because he is too kind and too accommodating to other people's feelings, which can easily make him Lose something you should hold on to.

Some people say that it was Florentino who created Real Madrid's superstar style. Florentino does not deny this, but doesn't Del Bosque have any responsibility? As the head coach of the team, shouldn't he take responsibility for his poor management?

The personnel of large companies is a very complicated thing, and the same is true for the personnel of wealthy teams.

Recently, many people have been criticizing Florentino's policy of Zidane and Pavin, thinking that it is absurd and counterproductive. In this regard, Florentino can only smile. He also has his own opinions and helplessness.

Pavin's performance is not bad. This young man has talent and potential. Now many people even think that the aging Hierro should be taken down and Pavin can take over. This young man's performance is much better than Hierro, but The question is, Hierro is the captain. With Bosque's character, can he win?

Florentino is very aware of his fault, taking it too much for granted, and overestimating Bosque's ability to control the locker room. Maybe he can get along with the superstars, maybe he can win the favor and love of the superstars, but he can make Do superstars play harder?

As the president of the club, Florentino must take into account his identity and status and think more about it. When superstars come to him to complain, can he say that Bosque did the right thing and you were wrong? , is there such a way to break up a fight?

Of course, he is here to appease the superstar and say something nice, and over there he will talk to the head coach about what to do and what to do. The most important thing is to make the team play more as a whole, rather than like now. Such laziness.

Therefore, from the moment Ajax scored the second goal, his face became ugly, because he knew very clearly that this team was not the Galacticos he wanted at all. The team is still far, far away from the team he wants, and Del Bosque will never be the helmsman of the Galacticos he wants.

Especially when Ajax scored two goals in a row, Ye Qiu still did not choose to be conservative. Instead, he waved his hand and took advantage of the team's greatly improved morale to continue the attack on Real Madrid when the first half was about to end. After a round of fierce attacks, Del Bosque's team was defeated step by step. When they were in a state of embarrassment, he became more determined in his opinion.

In the 42nd minute, Ajax once again broke into the heart of Real Madrid. Makelele successfully intercepted the ball and passed it to Guti. Guti passed it to Zidane. Zidane passed the ball directly to Ronaldo to launch a counterattack. But Lucio made a big save in advance.

Ibrahimovic's header flew to the left. After getting the ball, Robben shook off Salgado and faced Hierro on the left side of the penalty area. With three consecutive fake moves, he finally deceived Hierro. Quickly shake off the opponent, enter the penalty area, and before Casillas can react, he shoots low into the near corner.

The ball passed between Casillas' left side and the goal post, 3:0!

The entire Old Trafford stadium was completely occupied by Ajax fans. This group of Ajax fans wearing black jerseys were so excited that they wanted to jump over the fence and rush into the stadium, crazy. Celebrate.

At this moment, no words, no actions, no vents can express their inner excitement and excitement.

They can only say that their minds have become completely unconscious, and surprises have completely occupied their souls. They would never have imagined that the team could achieve such an amazing advantage in the first half, 3:0. Ah, they were facing Real Madrid, and they actually took a 3-goal lead!

Ye Qiu seemed very calm. He overestimated Real Madrid's sense of resistance. When the game actually started, he discovered that Real Madrid's defense was more fragile than he thought. It turned out that Real Madrid's discipline was better than he thought. It's even worse. This is a superstar team that can only play with the wind and cannot play against the trend.

When their style of play is no longer elegant and calm, when their ball control is no longer smooth, and when their offense hits walls everywhere, the team's flaws are infinitely magnified, and then magnified, and eventually become apparent on the court. This is a shocking score.

Ye Qiu didn't know what to say. This score was a bit beyond his expectation, but it was reasonable, so he didn't have the crazy surprise like the fans, but just a touch of regret, because in his opinion, Such a Real Madrid team should have been more effective and stronger.

Around him, the assistants were already ecstatic, hugging each other in twos and threes. Even Bobby Harms was a little out of his mind. He was shouting over there, obviously feeling excited about the trend of the game. Extremely surprised.

But Ye Qiu always remained calm and rational, because he knew very well that now was not the time to celebrate wildly, so he had to suppress the excitement and even pride in his heart, and carefully prepare for rainy days, and beware of Real Madrid's second half counterattack.

Fighting against the odds and sinking all boats, Real Madrid has no way out!

So, the second half is the most severe test!

…………

…………

Although everyone thought that Real Madrid would definitely counterattack in the second half because they had no way out, no one expected that Bosque's substitution during the halftime break was not to strengthen the offense, but to choose to stabilize the defense.

Flavio replaced Guti and formed a double defensive midfielder with Makelele.

This substitution was booed violently by Real Madrid fans. They believed that Bosque's substitution lacked courage. At this time, Real Madrid should be more determined to attack instead of conservatively stabilizing defense.

But it is obvious that the Brazilian midfielder's appearance made Real Madrid's midfielder stand up. With him and Makelele protecting the front of the defense line, and Bosque's re-tactical arrangement of the players during the halftime break, Real Madrid's defense was also consolidated, at least not as fragile as in the first half.

Stabilizing the defense and standing firm, Real Madrid's fist began to become powerful.

Figo knocked the ball back from the right, Raul stopped the ball and shot with his left foot, but Van der Sar saved the ball steadily from the bottom line, and then the corner kick was taken by Van der Sar from the top of Elguera's head, ensuring that Ajax's goal was not lost.

Then Zidane dribbled the ball from the left to the middle, and Mascherano, under the double pressure of Maicon, tackled the Frenchman in order to intercept the ball from Zidane's feet. He was shown a yellow card by the referee and gave Real Madrid a free kick opportunity at the front of the penalty area, but Figo failed to suppress the ball and the penalty was slightly higher.

Compared with Real Madrid's increasingly threatening offensive, Ajax's counterattack was not weak at all.

First, Van der Vaart dribbled the ball from the right and passed it to his back. Ibrahimovic, under the combined attack of Hierro and Elguera, still broke through Real Madrid's defense and rushed to the point before the two. Unfortunately, although the shot was only more than 8 meters away from the goal line, Casillas stood in position and blocked the angle, and Ibrahimovic's shot was too straight, which directly resulted in the shot being invalid.

Not long after, Robben broke through from the left and caused Salgado to foul. Sneijder took a free kick, and Yaya Toure headed the ball to the front point. Van der Vaart, who was unguarded at the back point, did not reach the ball and could only watch this great opportunity pass him by.

After missing such a sure goal, Van der Vaart regretted so much that he almost wanted to bury his head in the grass of Old Trafford Stadium, and kept beating the grass with both hands. He couldn't figure out why he couldn't reach the ball?

But Ajax's threatening counterattack greatly deterred Real Madrid's attack, at least letting Real Madrid's superstars know that no matter how fiercely they attacked, Ajax was not completely powerless to fight back.

But even so, Ajax was still broken by Real Madrid in the 71st minute.

This was a precise through ball from Zidane. The French star used his superb dribbling skills to pass the ball out of the encirclement of Mascherano and Maicon under the joint attack. Ronaldo quickly ran to Zidane, got the ball and used the extremely short time difference to get rid of Lucio, entered the penalty area, and shot low into the far corner, breaking through Van der Sar's goal. It was too late for Kivu to chase back, and he could only watch the ball enter the net, 1:3!

After the goal, Real Madrid seemed to see the dawn of victory again. Bosque made an amazing move, replacing Salgado, who had a yellow card, with McManaman to further strengthen the team's offense.

Ye Qiu also immediately made the first substitution of the game, replacing two players at once.

Kolo Toure, who has performed well this season, replaced Van der Vaart. This also allowed the Toure brothers to appear in the Champions League final at the same time, which received cheers from Ajax fans. They regarded the two brothers as the new De Boer brothers.

After Kolo Toure came on the court, he played as the right center back. Abidal and Maicon were pushed forward by Ye Qiu. Ajax's tactics immediately changed to a disc-shaped position with 5 defenders. Abidal and Maicon on the two sides focused on clamping the two sides of Real Madrid. With Yaya Toure and Mascherano, Ajax's defense became tighter.

At the same time, Ye Qiu replaced Robben, who was physically exhausted, with Van der Meyde, and let Van der Meyde and Ibrahimovic form a double striker, and Sneijder cruised behind the two to form a counterattack trident.

Van der Meyde, who had just come on the field, was more energetic and ran very actively, especially when counterattacking. Ajax always looked for him and made full use of his speed and sprinting ability.

In the 78th minute, after Real Madrid scored a goal, the attack was the most fierce. Under the huge defensive pressure of Ajax, it was Lucio's long pass. Van der Meyde quickly rushed to the left side of the Real Madrid penalty area. After getting the ball, he waited for Ibrahimovic and other teammates to pass it to the penalty area. Casillas took the initiative to attack and hit the ball before Ibrahimovic.

Sneijder stopped the ball with his chest at the front of the penalty area. Without waiting for the ball to land, he saw that Casillas had lost his goalkeeping ability and directly shot a powerful long shot. The ball was like a cannonball and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

This time, Hierro, who chased back to the right position, finally made a contribution. He fell to the ground in front of the goal line and blocked Sneijder's long shot outside the goal line. At the most important moment, he saved the goal of Real Madrid.

All the Real Madrid fans at the scene finally cheered for the old captain for the first time.

Yes, the 35-year-old Hierro may have problems of one kind or another, and maybe he can no longer be as good as he was when he was young, but no one should doubt his loyalty to the club and his dedication to the game.

Real Madrid almost conceded another goal, coupled with the rapid passage of game time, Real Madrid felt a little discouraged.

Although at this time, Hierro and Raul, as local leaders, kept calling on their teammates to continue working hard, they were also leading by example and actively running and actively looking for opportunities, but they were helpless. Most of the Real Madrid players had already lost Fighting spirit.

In the last ten minutes, Real Madrid was unable to form a threatening attack against Ajax, and Ajax also paid more attention to defense, especially when Ye Qiu replaced Ibrahimo with Arteta. When playing against Vic, it was obvious that they wanted to delay time, strengthen the midfield, and use Van der Meyde to counterattack.

In the end, when the fourth official called the sign of 3 minutes of stoppage time, everyone knew that the overall situation of the game was decided.

The Ajax fans celebrated wildly in the stands. Each one of them shouted and cheered at the top of their lungs. They shouted the names of every Ajax player, the head coach Ye Qiu, and For everyone on the team.

Real Madrid fans were deathly silent. They are the most loyal Real Madrid fans and have experienced the peak of glory in 2000 and 2002. Therefore, they are all very dissatisfied with the team's performance in this game, but They all looked lost in front of the wildly celebrating Ajax fans.

Just like the Real Madrid players with so many superstars on the court, they are full of confusion and confusion.

In terms of worth, Real Madrid spent more on bringing in any one of this group of superstars than Ye Qiu spent on bringing in this group of Ajax players. However, this group of expensive superstars, in the final, Facing this group of unknown players, they were beaten to a pulp, which can almost be said to be in a state of embarrassment.

"This is not only worthy of in-depth reflection by Real Madrid players, head coaches and even the chairman, but also worthy of deep thought by all football practitioners. Perhaps, Ajax's success is more like the success of football, rather than the success of stacking stars." The commentator also expressed his own feelings and lamentations.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and everyone wants to see the most beautiful and beautiful side, so they like Real Madrid, the Galacticos, and a group of the best superstars in the world playing together. The artistic movement that comes out.

But football is not only about beauty, not only about art, but more importantly about blood, passion and teamwork.

"In this game, Ajax won a complete victory. Real Madrid failed to destroy Ajax with their artistic football as everyone expected before the game. Instead, they were destroyed by Ajax's blood and fighting spirit. However, Ye Qiu used his wise strategizing and targeted tactics to complete a revenge battle against Del Bosque, averting the humiliation of being eliminated by Real Madrid in the semi-finals a year ago, and finally leading Ajax to the top of the table. On top of Europe!”

"We can hear that almost all the Ajax fans in the audience are shouting the name of the head coach Ye Qiu. They seem to be using this way to express their affirmation and love for the head coach. They are also using this way to express their recognition and love for the head coach. This is a way to retain Ye Qiu, who is rumored to be leaving the team, because they all know that it is this young Chinese coach who has led Ajax to a renaissance.”

"Many people say that Ye Qiu is very similar to Van Gaal. They both left a profound mark on the history of Ajax, but whether it is Cruyff or Ajax chairman Van Praag, They all said in interviews that Ye Qiu is not Van Gaal, and his contribution to Ajax is more positive than Van Gaal."

"Indeed, there is a huge disparity between the strengths and weaknesses of European football today. Teams such as Ligue 1, Eredivisie, and Portuguese Super League are more like arsenals for teams in the four major leagues. This makes teams from second-tier leagues want to compete in the four major leagues. It is very difficult to fight your way out of the encirclement of the major leagues. Before the Bosman Act, the gap in strength was not so obvious. At that time, Ajax was still a European giant! "

"From this we can also see how difficult it is for Ye Qiu to get to where he is today, and the significance it brings is extraordinary. It is also because of this that Ajax fans are so persistent in wanting to Keep your head coach.”

While Ajax fans were chanting for Ye Qiu, German referee Merck finally blew the whistle to end the game.

The moment the whistle sounded, the Ajax fans in the audience immediately became crazy, shouting and cheering, and many people even sang the Ajax team song and fan song to express their gratitude. Vent your excitement.

Thousands of people sang in chorus, which was majestic and made people's blood pump.

On the court, Ajax's coaching staff, staff, and players on the bench all rushed into the court. Everyone was celebrating on the court. They had created a miracle, and they finally reached the top of Europe. , once again brought back a Saint-Bloid Cup for Ajax!

No words can describe the excitement of the Ajax people at this moment, and no action can vent the excitement in their hearts.

Ye Qiu was the first to rush into the stadium. He didn't care about his shoes at all. He kept waving his arms, running around the stadium, and shouting at the fans in the stands. This made him feel particularly happy and vented his excitement while running out of breath and sweating.

He did it. He finally fulfilled his wish!

He was finally able to stand at the top of Europe, on the winner's podium of the Champions League final, and issued the strongest and most powerful counterattack to all those who had looked down on him, doubted him, and ridiculed him!

Standing at the bottom of the stands, he was panting like a cow, but while breathing heavily, he also found his parents, Huang Chu, and Eliza in the crowded stands. He found his mother lying on his father's shoulder and crying. Huang Chu covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes were sparkling under the light, and he was crying. Eliza just looked at him, and her fair and beautiful face became red because of excitement and excitement.

There are also Huang Jinsong, Chu Yun and his wife, and Chen Zhong. In the end, Ye Qiu realized that what he cared about most were these relatives, the people who were most important to him. He even felt that he could lose everything, but he couldn't lose them.

Thousands of words, in the end, turned into a confident fist gesture of Ye Qiu, and then he was swallowed up by the crazy Ajax players, coaches and staff. They carried Ye Qiu as if he was carrying a king, traveling around the entire Old Trafford Stadium, accepting the shouts and congratulations from the fans in the stands from all directions.

It was at this moment that Ye Qiu made a very bold, even crazy decision in his heart!
