The Godfather of Football

That afternoon, the youth training office of De Tokmost sent a message to Ye Qiu.

After selection by the technical team including Leo Beenhakker and Waters, they finally chose two teams in Section B as the targets for Ye Qiu and Westhoff to coach. The two of them can choose one team from each of the two teams in Section B, lead the team for two months, and then play a few games. At that time, some Ajax insiders will evaluate.

To be honest, this choice is very unfair to Ye Qiu.

Westhoff has very rich coaching experience. He has been in charge of a team for more than ten years, but Ye Qiu is only 25 years old and has just graduated from college. He has no resume. Although he has a wealth of football theory, he lacks practice. If he coaches a team of lower age level, it is nothing, but when coaching a team of higher age level, the difference in tactical planning is obvious.

In this regard, Waters also argued for his point of view, but the reasons given by Leo Beenhakker were also very sufficient.

Ajax's lower-age teams train two days a week, two training sessions a day, and a total of 16 sessions in two months. Even the best coaches cannot instill anything in the players in these 16 sessions, but the players in the B group are different. They have to train every afternoon from Monday to Friday, and they have to train twice on Tuesday and Thursday, and then they have to play against domestic teams of the same age on Saturday.

In this case, it is easier for coaches to instill something of their own into the players.

Leo Benhakker's words are indeed reasonable, and no one can refute them, and they can only agree in the end.

However, in order to show fairness, they decided to give Ye Qiu the right of first choice, allowing him to first choose the team he wants in the B1 and B2 age groups. In fact, this is equivalent to letting him take the initiative to choose the B1 team, which is the 16-year-old age group team.

You know, Ajax's 16-year-old youth training team is invincible in the Dutch U16 League. Rafael van der Vaart, the team's top hope, is even more highly expected. A coach is specially arranged to sculpt him. He is praised by many people as the new Cruyff cultivated by Ajax.

There is also a very strong central defender, John Heitinga, who is hailed as the new Koeman of Ajax. He is also the defensive core of the youth team and has participated in the second team's games many times. In addition, there are goalkeepers like Maarten Stekelenburg, who is also the team's defensive hope.

Although there is only a one-year difference between 16 and 15 years old, the latter is obviously inferior in terms of experience and technical application. After all, in the Ajax youth training system, in the B stage, you can learn a lot in a year, and even many people have the opportunity to train with the first team.

In this case, everyone thought that Ye Qiu should choose U16, and even Waters was ready to make the decision for him, but unexpectedly, Ye Qiu chose U15, which puzzled many people present.

Ye Qiu certainly did not choose randomly. Although the players of U16 are very strong, he doesn't think much of the others except Van der Vaart. Heitinga and Stekelenburg are both defensive players, especially Heitinga, whose technical plasticity is not strong enough, so Ye Qiu doesn't like them very much.

On the contrary, U15 has Wesley Sneijder, Hedwigus Maduro and Nigel de Jong. These three players have good technical skills and can play in the midfield, especially Maduro and De Jong, who are defenders, but are both offensive and defensive. Such players are more suitable for the transformation that Ye Qiu wants to promote.

However, other people did not think that Ye Qiu was making the most favorable choice for himself. They thought that Ye Qiu was arrogant. He deliberately let Westerhoff win even when he was at an absolute disadvantage. This made Westerhoff very angry. He even threatened that in two months, he would completely collapse Ye Qiu in one game without playing more games.

Ye Qiu did not take these verbal disputes too seriously. He had no fame and no strength. Competing with him would only lower his quality, so he chose to endure. For the time being, there was nothing more important than improving his own strength and winning this gamble.

And while gambling, Ye Qiu's status in Detokmost also changed.

Before, he was the coach of the E1 team, and his status in Detokmost was relatively low, but now he is the coach of the B2 team, that is, the 15-year-old age group, and his status has improved a lot. If you want to wait for your qualifications, no one can expect to climb to the position of U15 coach without three to five years of outstanding performance.

This is an unexpected gain from the bet.

This is just a change in the name and title. In fact, everyone knows that Ye Qiu is a temporary U15 coach. If he loses to Westerhof in two months, he can only choose to leave.

Where there is danger, there is opportunity. If he wins by accident, then...

Of course, in De Tokmost, most of the youth training coaches are not optimistic about Ye Qiu.

…………

…………

After being promoted to U15, Ye Qiu had a holiday on Sunday, but he still locked himself in the hotel room.

Because after making a bet with Westerhof and choosing the U15 team, Ye Qiu found that his godfather training system had been officially upgraded from the original trial stage to the coaching stage. After the upgrade, the entire system also appeared in Ye Qiu's mind.

The entire Godfather system is designed around a head coach and is divided into five stages, namely the trial stage, coach stage, assistant coach stage, head coach stage and godfather stage. These five stages are all upgraded by triggering some events or completing some tasks.

It's like Ye Qiu didn't know before that after making a bet with Westhoff and taking charge of U15, he completed the upgrade from the trial stage to the coach stage, got 10 attribute points as a reward, and also opened some new skills.

These include personal attributes, tactical version, training camp, task bar, store and learning house.

As the name suggests, personal attributes are to show some of Ye Qiu's head coach-related values ​​at this moment. At the current coaching stage, the coaching attributes have also opened up tactical knowledge, player strength assessment, player potential assessment, medical ability, motivation and affinity.

For example, as a coach, Ye Qiu's tactical knowledge is only a pitiful 5 points. This is because he has been diligently studying for the past day, and has only improved by 4 points. At the beginning, it was only the lowest 1 point.

This is no wonder. As a fan in his previous life, he was happy to call out the names of the stars, but his professional football knowledge was almost zero. Now, after a day of study, he really felt how profound the field of football tactics was.

Although his tactical knowledge was zero, as a time traveler, Ye Qiu's evaluation of player strength reached 36 points, and his evaluation of player potential was 63 points. This was not surprising, because Ye Qiu was able to master some player potential and achievements with more than ten years of football knowledge than others, so it was understandable that he evaluated the potential higher.

But evaluating the strength of players is different. To do this, you must have many abilities.

For example, Ye Qiu now knows that Van der Vaart will definitely become a talent in the future. If the cap is 200, he can reach a potential of about 175, but the question is, how strong is he now? Ye Qiu didn't know it in his heart, because his eyes couldn't see it, and he felt that potential would change randomly, and the key was still strength.

Medical ability is for team doctors, but as a coach, it is also necessary to have medical ability. However, in this aspect, Ye Qiu's ability is 1, but affinity is directly set to 85 after the system upgrade.

"It seems that I am still a very friendly person!" Affinity can easily give people a better first impression, which is not a bad thing for anyone.

As for motivation, when the system was turned on, Ye Qiu only had 1 point, but after scanning the body information, it was directly increased to 14 points. The reason was that Ye Qiu's words at the youth training meeting were very motivating, so the score was increased.

This also made Ye Qiu see a new direction, that is, in addition to obtaining reward points by completing the tasks given by the system to improve the points of various attributes, he can also rely on his own hard work and practical experience. Doing so can also improve the system score, which undoubtedly gave him a motivation to work hard.

Putting aside personal attributes, the tactical formation has not been opened yet. It will not be opened until it is upgraded to head coach. Ye Qiu is not very clear about what effect and function it has for the time being. He only vaguely knows that it is probably related to tactics.

The training method has been opened, but Ye Qiu currently only has one set of free training given by the trial system, which is the new training he arranged for the young players in the E1 age group yesterday. However, after the system upgrade, it is prompted that this set of training methods also has an upgraded version, but it will consume 100 reward points, and it requires the assistant coach system to be opened, and the technical training attribute to reach 20 points.

"Oh my god, I worked hard and risked my future to get 10 points of reward. Now I need 100 points to upgrade a set of training methods, and I have to upgrade to the assistant coach system, and there is a 20-point technical training attribute. What kind of training method is so awesome?"

However, the evil system will definitely not let Ye Qiu peek, so he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't know what was so good about this upgraded version, and finally attributed it to profiteers.

"First, use the free policy to lure me in, and then throw out the upgraded version, instigating me to spend more. If I want to spend, I have to complete tasks and earn reward points. Oh my god, this is not profiteers?" Ye Qiu shouted in his heart.

However, isn't this a way to encourage progress?

And after studying the new training method, he noticed one thing, that is, the training methods given by the system are a very reasonable combination of both with and without the ball, and they are very close to actual combat. Any team, whether it is a youth team or an adult team, can still insist on training every day, because this is of great benefit to any professional player and it is also a kind of improvement to the team's combat effectiveness.

More importantly, the system's training emphasizes practice makes perfect and teamwork, which is undoubtedly more in line with the future trend of football.

This also makes Ye Qiu more curious about the so-called upgraded version. After all, the upgrade conditions given by the system are so high, it is naturally impossible to give some garbage, right?

After the training camp is the task bar, and there are three tasks in the task bar at this time.

The first task is to win the gamble with Westhoff, and the task reward is 20 reward points.

The second task is to win the first game in life, and the task reward is only 5 points.

The third task is repeatable, that is, if you win a game, the task will reward you with 1 point. If you draw, there will be no reward. If you lose, you will be deducted 1 point. This can also be regarded as the reward and punishment principle given by the system for the game.

By default, the store system provides props and skill books that can be purchased. There are only three things that can be purchased now. The first is a set of training methods, called the wall-crashing game. According to the description, this wall-crashing game can not only It fully mobilizes the enthusiasm of players to counter-attack on the spot, and can also help players to pass and receive the ball as quickly and concisely as possible, allowing players to better adapt to the pressure and choices during rapid offensive and defensive transitions.

However, this training method is very tempting to talk about, but the conditions given are also very high. Putting aside the high purchase cost, technical training, tactical training and defensive training all reach 20 points. This threshold undoubtedly makes Ye Qiu feel great. depressed.

He now has a feeling that the training method given by the system is actually hanging a carrot in front of a donkey.

"If I try to strangle him, he'll treat me like a donkey!"

However, he was still very attracted to this training method, because he knew very clearly that with such a high reward, it would not be a simple game of hitting the wall and matching the game. There must be something unique to the system, and it would definitely be beneficial.

In addition to the training method of this wall-breaking game, there are two other things in the store, one is [Detailed Explanation of Total Attack and Total Defense], written by Michels, and the other is [On Ajax’s 433 Formation], written by It's Cruyff.

Ye Qiu didn't know if Michels and Cruyff had written these two things, but he felt that these two things were indeed very useful for him now, but... they were expensive. This requires 5 attribute points.

"Can you be more profiteer?" Ye Qiu was completely disappointed with the conscience of the system.

Finally, there is the study room, which stores a variety of football-related books. It can be said to be a football library, and it is not just football, including some aspects of operations, personnel management, resource optimization and allocation, health care, etc. There are many books here, as long as they have something to do with football.

And another advantage of the study room is that it can be entered while sleeping. Studying in your sleep without affecting your sleep is equivalent to studying in your dream, but as the old saying goes, you have to spend money.

"Shameless, most shameless!"

After Ye Qiu roughly studied the system, he understood it more or less. This was his only evaluation of the system.

However, despite the scolding, Ye Qiu did not dare to be careless for a moment. Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't need any money during the day, he went directly to the study room to read a basic coaching training material published by UEFA.

There was no way, even though the unlucky guy possessed by him had already obtained the UEFA A-level coaching certificate, except for those things that couldn't be taken away, such as certificates, residence permits, etc., he took away everything he could. , including his coaching knowledge.

Now that Ye Qiu wants to gain a foothold in European football, he still needs a minimum of football knowledge.

You know, Europe is the palace of football and the most fiercely competitive place in the world for football, not only for players, but also for coaches. So if you want to gain a foothold in European football, even if you want to be an insignificant member, you want to It is impossible to rely on luck to hide the truth.

If it was Ye Qiu who had just graduated from college in his previous life, he would definitely feel that he was a lucky person and would be lucky. However, after experiencing the test and temper of society, he clearly realized a truth.

In this world, no one's success is accidental, even if in the eyes of others, his luck is so good that he is so lucky!

Because he understands this, Ye Qiu is very clear that if he wants to gain a foothold in Europe, he cannot rely solely on the system. The system can only provide assistance. He must rely on his own efforts and diligence, absorb more football knowledge, and learn more. Understand some football knowledge, so that even if he cannot gain a foothold in Ajax, he can definitely go to other teams.

Understanding this, Ye Qiu calmed down and spent the whole day hiding in the hotel room, studying the teaching materials, and at the same time began to formulate a training plan for the U15 team tomorrow afternoon.

Of course, for the time being, what Ye Qiu can do is the new set of training. He feels that this set of training is actually a stage of laying the foundation. U15 players must be allowed to practice until practice makes perfect, which will also be used on the court. It must be able to exert its power.

As for the team's tactics, Ajax players have grown up with the 433 tactics since childhood. Changing them rashly will not be good for the team.

In order to better understand Ajax's 433 tactics and total offense, Ye Qiu finally had to vomit blood and spent 5 reward points to buy [On Ajax] edited by Cruyff from the store. 433 Formation], and then spent 1 bonus point to stay up late in the study room studying this masterpiece.

In fact, these contents are not secrets. If Ye Qiu stayed at Ajax for ten or eight years, he would probably be able to master all the contents of Cruyff's book. There was no need to spend reward points, but the problem was that what Ye Qiu lacked most now was time.

Fortunately, after studying all night, Ye Qiu had a preliminary understanding of Ajax's 433 tactics. Although there were still some unclear details, it should not be a big problem to deal with U15. If it doesn't work, he can go and study it with Waters, who is a direct descendant of Ajax.

Now the two of them are in the same boat. How could he refuse Ye Qiu's help?
