The Godfather of Football

"I love you, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice..."

In the office of the head coach of the second team of Detok Most, a certain man was humming the coquettish tune of this coquettish song coquettishly.

Ricklink and Roland were both behind a certain man, staring at his coquettish back with bewildered expressions, wondering in their hearts, what stimulation had this guy received to make him so coquettish so early in the morning?

"Hey, what is he doing?" Eliza didn't know what happened, so she ran directly to Ye Qiu's office.

"Who knows? He was humming a tune early in the morning!" Ricklink shook his head, he didn't dare to ask.

Roland shook his head like a rattle. Needless to say, he must not know.

Eliza was weird. Why did Ye Qiu become colleagues with a bunch of weirdos?

He walked over and patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder, "I said, Ye Qiu, how long has it been since you went to Dewalen District?"

"Dewalen District? No, what are you doing?" Ye Qiu didn't react for a moment.

"Oh, I heard that too!" Eliza chuckled and sat down directly opposite Ye Qiu. This girl was wearing a white shirt with an open collar today, which made people want to explore.

"What did you hear?" Ye Qiu still didn't understand.

Eliza chuckled, "I heard people say that if a single man in Amsterdam hasn't been to Dewallen for a long time, his sperm will easily get into his head, and then he will do some weird things, and in the end he will probably... , Uh..." She finally made a cute and cute expression of a hanged man.

"Let me go, I..." Ye Qiu was about to retort, but he understood after thinking about it. Isn't this De Wallen district the location of Amsterdam's world-famous red light district?

"Okay, girl, how dare you say such a thing?"

"Why don't you dare to say it?" Eliza was quite confident, but her smiling expression didn't look like she was competing. In the eyes of Riklink and Roland, they looked more like two little lovers. Flirting.

Ye Qiu shook his head, "They say that Amsterdam is open and it's Sex and the City. Now I finally understand that even a girl like this is like this. Damn it, if I meet those lesbians, gays, etc., I will probably dance." Enter the Amstel River and drown!"

These words made the three people in the entire office laugh.

But not to mention, Detok Most is in the New Town. If you go to the central commercial street of Amsterdam, you can still see this kind of grand scene, and many people are even used to it.

"Would you like me to take you to the red light district to see the world another day?" Eliza asked with a smile.

"Go away, little girl, have you been there?" Ye Qiu's words completely exposed his thoughts.

"Our student union organized us to go there, but you are full of crooked thoughts. It's so perverted!"

Ye Qiu almost hit his head on the desk and died. He had never been to the red light district of Dewalen District. "Forget it, I won't argue with you. Tell me what you want to do with me. Let's get straight to the point!"

"I'm here to tell you that I have already picked out the clothes for you. Come with me to try it on and take a walk around the office to save you, the big boss, from not knowing where your company is!"

"At noon, I'm at work!" Ye Qiu said with professional ethics.

Eliza almost fell over, "Boss, it's time to get off work!"

"So fast?" Someone's words really made people speechless.

Damn, I don’t even know the time when I go to work. What on earth are you doing in this class?

When he saw the office located about two streets away from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam campus, Ye Qiu had to admire Eliza's management skills, which were indeed high.

The company is currently not making any money, so the office decoration is relatively simple, but as soon as people walk in, they feel bright and comfortable, without any feeling of crowding.

However, this has something to do with the fact that there are not many employees, just two women. Eliza does almost everything by herself.

Entering Eliza's office directly, Ye Qiu did not expect that the place was quite elegantly decorated.

It’s not that the furniture and decoration are expensive or anything like that. The overall decoration is the same as the outside. It is very simple and does not cost much. The main focus is on the structural furnishings, which reveal the designer’s unique taste and fashion sense.

"I designed it!" Eliza sat carelessly on the office chair, as if waiting for someone to praise her.

"Let me tell you, apart from giving birth, is there anything else you don't know how to do?" Ye Qiu admired with all his heart, this woman is so good.

"I'm a woman, why can't I have children?" Eliza glared at him angrily.

"Oh, so you are a woman!" Ye Qiu suddenly realized this and was sure of it.

Now it was Eliza who had nothing to do with him.

"The clothes are in the closet. You can change them here and let me see if they fit you?"

"Right here?" Ye Qiu's eyes widened.

Eliza's face turned slightly red, but she immediately said louder than him, "Open the door on the other side of the closet, and you can go into the bathroom."

"Oh, I was scared to death!" Ye Qiu said, patting his chest.

Seeing him like this, Eliza couldn't help but giggle and said, why does this guy like to quarrel so much today?

I have to ask Huang Chu later to see what kind of medicine she gave this guy this morning. She seemed to be in an extremely good mood.

Not to mention, Eliza has really good eyesight.

She picked out two outfits for Ye Qiu. One was for the post-match reception. It was a more orthodox suit, but very slim-fitting. The other was for the pre-match press conference. It was a black singlet with a white shirt. It looked very stylish. Taste, and most importantly, these clothes are high-street products and the prices are very cheap.

"Boss, you are the first sign of our company, I have to dress you up!" Eliza saw Ye Qiu put on clothes and walked out, and immediately walked over to tidy up the corners for him, and then backed away. Two steps, look again, nod.

"I just discovered today that you are good-looking and handsome!" Eliza praised with a smile.

Ye Qiu was in a good mood when he was praised in person for the first time, "Don't be obsessed with me, I am a legend!"

"Get out!" Eliza laughed angrily and almost gave him a punch.

After getting Ye Qiu's measurements before, the two sets of clothes Eliza picked fit perfectly, did not require modification, and were of good workmanship.

In Eliza's words, clothes don't matter whether they are famous brands or not, but whether they fit well and suit the occasion. As long as they fit well and suit the occasion, even if they are wearing crappy clothes, they will still attract attention.

"I'm telling you!" Eliza helped Ye Qiu adjust the shirt collar of his suit. She got close and a refreshing fragrance rushed into Ye Qiu's nose. "We have to fight hard to win the Dutch Cup final and start our company's business." In the first shot, as long as you win the championship, I will definitely surprise you!”

"Are you ready to..." Ye Qiu looked surprised.

Eliza nodded solemnly, thinking Ye Qiu had guessed it.

"No, taking off all your clothes and running around naked at Philips Stadium will have a bad influence!" Ye Qiu couldn't help laughing. He was indeed in a good mood today, really good.

"I'll strangle you to death!" Eliza made her hands like scissors and strangled him directly on his neck, almost strangling him to death.

After putting on a show, Eliza patted Ye Qiu's shoulder seriously, "With one championship, I can further expand the scale. I have confidence in you!"

Ye Qiu nodded. He already had a comprehensive plan for this game.

"By the way, Eliza, let me ask you something." Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something.

"Say!" Eliza returned to sit down behind her desk.

"If, I mean if, you think that a certain country's economy, or the stock market, will plummet, how do you make money from it?" Ye Qiu said a little difficultly, and smiled, "I think our company needs to develop , it depends on funds.”

"If you want to invest in the stock market for the long term, then it's okay. Otherwise, it's very risky." Eliza warned him carefully, "But if you are really optimistic that a country's stock market will fall, then you can't try it." Give it a try.”

"What if I am optimistic that a certain country's stock market will plummet?" Ye Qiu asked.

"The stock market crashed? This is unlikely, right?" Eliza laughed.

"I mean what if!" Of course Ye Qiu would not say that the Internet bubble collapsed from 2000 to 2001 and the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, both events caused the US stock market to plummet.

"Oh, by the way, I'm optimistic about the long-term decline. There will definitely be ups and downs in the short term." Ye Qiu added.

"Then it's best to speculate in futures!" Eliza seemed to have some understanding of this. Sometimes Ye Qiu really doubted it, how could she know everything? It's like a universal dictionary.

"Can you do it?" Ye Qiu himself didn't know how.

"I know a little bit. If you want to be fired, I can help you get it done!" Eliza nodded.

At this point, Eliza asked: "By the way, which country's stock market do you really plan to speculate in?"

"Standard \u0026 Poor's, plummeting!" Ye Qiu said with certainty.

Eliza snorted and laughed, "You must be crazy!"

"You must be crazy!"

The same words were said to him a few hours later in Detok Most's office, Ye Qiu's colleague Rick Klink said to him with a look of disbelief on his face, and there were also Roland and Ye Qiu specially invited here. Bobby Harms.

"You said it yourself just now. Feyenoord wants you to come out and attack. It would be better for you to just follow their path!"

Rick Link thinks Ye Qiu is getting hot-headed and taking things for granted after being eliminated in the finals?

Ye Qiu smiled and looked at Bobby Harms, who looked thoughtful and asked, "You should have a comprehensive plan. Let's talk about it." He was now interested in Ye Qiu's thoughts. Interested.

After Bobby Harms said this, Rick Link and Roland couldn't say anything more.

Ye Qiu smiled and told everything about his plans and thoughts.

"We have been able to get to where we are today by winning by surprise. Now that we have reached the final, with Van Marwijk's personality and his tactical arrangements, I think my tactics are very likely to work." Ye Qiu is full of confidence. .

Ricklink shook his head, "I still stick to my point of view. The risk is too great. It is inappropriate to rely too much on individual players!"

"We have always been known for fighting as a whole, and our defense is now very solid. If we suddenly change our tactics, the players may not be able to adapt. If Feyenoord puts pressure on us, we may be in civil strife. "Roland also felt that Ye Qiu's plan was too risky.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes, according to normal thinking, we should continue to stick to our previous tactics and continue to defend, but have you noticed that from Go Ahead Eagle to Eindhoven to Utrecht, and then to Heerenveen, our opponents have been getting to know us more and more."

"We are too far behind our opponents in terms of strength. If our tactics are also understood by the opponent, then we will only be slaughtered. Don't forget that Feyenoord has excellent attackers such as Cruz, Thomason, and Kalu. With their strength, if we continue to defend, it is tantamount to waiting for death!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, "Instead of waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative!"

Bobby Hams was also weighing Ye Qiu's tactics. He had to admit that it was very bold and risky, but there was indeed a chance.

As he mentioned to Ye Qiu before, Feyenoord's defense this season was also problematic.

Ye Qiu looked at his assistant, and then at Bobby Hams. The latter did not object, which proved that he thought it was worth a try, so Ye Qiu waved his hand and directly confirmed the matter.

…………

…………

May 20, 2000, Saturday, the day before the Dutch Cup final.

This was the first time Ye Qiu appeared in the press conference hall of Arena Stadium. He had never thought that he would be the protagonist of this hall one day, and he had never thought that he would be able to walk into this hall under the attention of dozens of reporters. This was like a dream for him.

And he will also appear on the pages of many Dutch and even European newspapers tomorrow.

For the dozens of reporters present, when Ye Qiu walked into the meeting hall, they also felt bright.

They were used to seeing those old and old coaches, and those fat bellies. Suddenly, they saw a young and handsome guy who was only 25 years old, wearing a neat casual suit and walking into the venue. They all had an illusion, is this a player or a coach? Is there such a young coach?

This made all the reporters at the scene press the shutter button almost desperately. The spotlights flashed violently, and Ye Qiu walked in with a very friendly smile. Under the arrangement of the staff, he stood behind the rostrum and let the reporters take pictures.

Oh my god, I finally enjoyed what it was like to be a star on the catwalk!

Ye Qiu looked normal on the surface, but there were huge waves in his heart. In his previous life, he never dared to imagine that he would have this opportunity!

This press conference was mainly to announce the list of Ajax II team participating in the Dutch Cup final. Previously, some media reported that Ajax I team would arrange players to reinforce the second team, but this news was denied by the Football Association, and Ajax also denied having such thoughts and intentions.

The Dutch Eredivisie has ended, and Ajax finally only won the 8th place in the league. This result can be said to be very bad, especially compared with traditional powerhouses like Ajax. Missing the European competition has made countless Ajax fans angry.

Now, the only chance to help the team qualify for European competitions is the Dutch Cup final of Ajax II team.

After the game list was announced, there were indeed no first-team players, and many people present were relieved.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, you and your Ajax II team can be said to be the darkest dark horse in the history of the Dutch Cup. Do you have the confidence to be the darkest to the end?" A female reporter stood up and asked.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Of course, we have been waiting for this game for a year. We represent Ajax. We are born to fight for honor and championship. So my players and I have only one goal in this game, that is to win the championship!"

"But, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Another reporter stood up, "The odds given by the bookmakers are obviously not optimistic about you, and many professionals and fans don't think you have a chance to make it to the end. What do you think?"

Ye Qiu laughed, "When we played against Go Ahead Eagles, they didn't think we were optimistic. When we played against Eindhoven, they even asserted that we would die. Later, when we played against Utrecht and Heerenveen, which game was not like this? But in the end? We entered the finals!"

Ye Qiu's words made many reporters laugh. The performance of Ajax II this season is indeed amazing.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, there is news that you have been practicing offensive tactics these days. Does this mean that you will reverse the defensive tactics in the game and cater more to the Ajax fans' desire for offensive football?"

All these news made Ye Qiu very helpless. He could only attribute it to De Tokmost's poor security, which actually allowed reporters to sneak in. God knows if there are any scouts from Feyenoord in it?

But it makes sense when you think about it. How can the security of the second team compare with that of the first team?

"Yes, I am indeed prepared to attack in this game. We will play our traditional offensive football of Ajax from the beginning and suppress the opponent with offense, but this is not to cater to the fans, but to do our best to win the game. My players and I have made all preparations for this!"

All the reporters at the scene heard it and immediately talked about it. How much of this is true and how much is false?

"There is also news that many Dutch Eredivisie teams are very interested in you. Are you interested in becoming the youngest Dutch Eredivisie head coach in history? And many Ajax fans are also worried about whether you will stay in Ajax next season?"

Ye Qiu recognized this reporter, from the Amsterdam Evening Post, but he was not very familiar with him.

"Before the final, I will not discuss any topics about this aspect. I still have a contract with Ajax, and I am willing to continue to stay in Amsterdam. Things are very simple, no need to guess!"

As the host of the news department on the scene said that the time was about to come, when there were only a few questions left, those reporters who had no chance to ask questions, and even some who had already asked questions, raised their hands again to compete, hoping to ask a few more questions.

The whole scene was noisy and very lively.

Ye Qiu sat behind the rostrum and was chased by such a large group of reporters. He was not proud at all.

Because he knew very well that they came to chase him today because he made it to the final. If he lost the game tomorrow, how many people would remember him the day after tomorrow? Pay attention to him?

This world is so cruel!

A coaching career is a road of no return, a road of no return where you can only keep moving forward and keep winning!
