The Godfather of Football

"This Ferrell is so arrogant!"

In the conference room on the second floor of the training building of Detok Most's first team, Van Basten cursed angrily.

Barcelona has already won a warm-up match, and it was a complete victory. Logically speaking, they should just give it up and say a few good words to leave some face to the home team, but Ferrer's words It gave people a feeling of contempt for Ajax, which made Ye Qiu and others unhappy.

On the one hand, Ajax fans were dissatisfied with Ferrer's words, but they had no choice but to focus their attention on the first team and head coach Ye Qiu. At least in their eyes, it was the team's poor performance that led to the Being ridiculed by Barcelona.

People in the whole city were staring at it, and newspapers all over the Netherlands were reading it. This feeling of taking off your clothes, standing in front of others, and letting them point their fingers would not make anyone feel good, especially Yes, I still need to be scolded.

Now Ye Qiu finally understood Waters and Westerhoff's discomfort.

"If he likes to talk, let him say it. I don't like to talk. Sooner or later, this revenge will have to be avenged!" Ye Qiu secretly wrote down the debt. He is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He repays kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. , this is his true nature.

However, as the old Chinese saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, and it is never too late in ten years. Sooner or later, he will get his revenge!

"Let's talk about our own affairs first!" Ye Qiu glanced at the assistants around him.

After Van Basten, Moniz and Meulensteen looked at each other, they took out a report.

"We have already prepared the Ibrahimovic evaluation report that you asked us to prepare!"

Ye Qiu opened it and took a look at it, and then handed it directly to Bobby Hames and others. Van Basten here commented on Ibrahimovic as a former top striker in the world. strange.

"Zlatan is indeed a very malleable player. I even think he is even better than Huntelaar because he is more comprehensive. He can sit in the middle of the frontcourt and will be able to control the team's tactics. Richer.”

"On the ball, Zlatan can almost be said to be outstanding. His use of body, strength and technology are all very good, but there is still some room for improvement, and his height of 1.9 meters, but But his physical fitness is very flexible, which can be said to be his innate talents.”

After a pause, Van Basten continued: "In the single forward of Ajax's 433 tactics, the center's role is not only the fulcrum and terminator, he is also responsible for connecting the left and right wings. This He needs to have running support, judgment of the situation and environment, and awareness of passing coordination. "

“Zlatan needs to further improve in these aspects, especially when without the ball, he must concentrate on observing the surrounding environment, keep an appropriate distance from his teammates at all times, find and run into gaps to get the ball, and help teammates complete the ball. Road advancement and so on, these are things he urgently needs to improve. "

Van Basten is a great forward, his ability is outstanding whether with or without the ball, so the shortcomings he raised are indeed obstacles that hinder Ibrahimovic's further improvement.

"However, I don't think these problems are big!"

When it comes to Ibrahimovic, Van Basten has the urge to smile bitterly, because he feels that this is like a joke between God and the world.

"He is a center, but he does not have the thinking and awareness of a center at all. I think this is his biggest problem!"

Ye Qiu has been thinking about Ibrahimovic's problems. He could list many, but now after listening to Van Basten's words, he couldn't help but suddenly realized that, yes, what Ibrahimovic lacked was the thinking of a center forward.

What does a center do? Score! Tactical pivot! Connector!

But for Ibrahimovic, or the current Ibrahimovic, these are just hobbies. What he really likes is to express himself, or it can be said that his favorite thing to do on the court is to conquer, which makes him It is easy to be immersed in one's own world and ignore others.

Therefore, Ibrahimovic likes all kinds of fancy moves. Before he shoots, he has to deliberately make a few moves, or play with the leg swing for a longer time. He doesn't care about the defensive players at all, he just I don’t care whether I feel good or not.

Ye Qiu remembered that Capello once said that if Ibrahimovic simplified his technical movements, he would be a great shooter.

Therefore, during his time at Juventus, Capello forced Ibrahimovic to practice the most basic and simple shooting movements. This was the reason for Ibrahimovic's subsequent improvement and his maturity after arriving at Inter Milan.

"Without thinking and consciousness, let's instill this kind of thinking and consciousness into him. I don't believe it. There are so many of us, but we can't suppress an 18-year-old brat!" Ye Qiu thought for a while. , decided to sculpt Ibrahimovic.

It's like Ferguson sculpted Cristiano Ronaldo. They are all talents. Once they are sculpted, they will be the strongest.

"Then I'm afraid you have to come forward in person!" Bobby Harms said with a smile.

In fact, Ibrahimovic is not the kind of person who has no conscience at all. At least he still knows how to eat people with soft lips and take advantage of others with short hands. So after living in Ye Qiu's house and eating from him, he would run here every day. Detok Mostert also ran more actively on the training ground.

It’s just that this kid has been severely abused during this period, first by Nesta, then by Keown and Adams, and later by De Boer and Abelardo. The Swedish kid is probably very mentally injured now.

Ye Qiu smiled, said nothing, and looked at Moniz, because this plan also contained Moniz's suggestions.

Moniz stood up, "I have always observed Ibrahimovic's technical movements, and I found that he is the kind of player that makes defenders have a headache when they see him. Watch a video!"

A video of Ibrahimovic and Nesta competing was immediately broadcast in the conference room. In the video, Ibrahimovic leaned on Nesta with his back and wrapped his long legs around the ball. In this case, Nesta simply took the ball. Ibrahimovic had no choice, but this kid turned around and swung his leg to hit the door.

"Faced with such a tall player who controls a wide area, defenders generally have no choice. Especially when their technical skills are excellent, the tactical value is very high. If Ibrahimovic had not chosen to turn around and hit the goal himself at this time, , Cooperating with teammates will definitely create a threat.”

Moniz and Van Basten are different. The latter starts from the big picture, while Moniz starts from the details.

"Even if you ask him to turn around, but pay attention," as Moniz paused after the replay, "his leg swing is very large, which takes a long time to prepare for the shot. Nesta uses this to prevent him from shooting. Because we all know that the most important thing about shooting is privacy."

Moniz replayed a shot of Van Nistelrooy and Van Basten. They are both very tall and have long legs, but their preparation time for shooting is very short, and their leg swings are very small. The shooting power is very explosive, the ball is touched very cleanly, and the force is also very good, which makes their shots very fast and very secretive.

"If Ibrahimovic's move is used to make a shot, the success rate is very low, and the possibility of being blocked is very high, but once successful, the effect will be great, that is, the hearty shot that many fans like to watch, it will definitely To win the house, you can use Ruud van Nistelrooy’s and Marco’s shooting methods, which are secretive but simple.”

Hearing this, Ye Qiu understood what Moniz meant and had to admit that this was also his own discovery.

It's not that Ibrahimovic doesn't have the technical ability to shoot the most basic shot, but that he lacks such willingness and thinking. Otherwise, he can do all kinds of difficult actions, why can't he do the most basic ones?

In the final analysis, the player is too casual, has too strong self-awareness, and likes to play football as he pleases. He lacks the thinking and consciousness of being a center, serving the team, and being responsible for the team. This makes him unwilling to always take those measures. The simplest and most standardized actions to compete.

But Ye Qiu also understands that if Ibrahimovic's shortcomings can be corrected and he can learn how to play the game with the most reasonable actions and learn to serve the team, then he will truly be regarded as the top center.

Of course, when Ye Qiu said that he wanted him to learn to play football like this, he did not mean that he wanted Ibrahimovic to completely give up his personality and expertise.

Just like Robben, another player mentioned by the coaching staff next.

Bobby Harms is right. Robben has a very unique style of play and likes to work alone. But the problem is, isn't what Ajax needs is his solo play? If Robben is like Sneijder and others, he chooses to pass the ball to his teammates instead of doing it alone, then how can he help Ajax create wide width and create deep advancement?

Therefore, Robben's independence is what the team needs. The key is how to control this independence within the range that the team can allow.

In other words, you can be alone when you need to be alone, but you must also pass the ball to me when it is your turn.

For Ibrahimovic and Robben, their personalities and playing styles are part of their personal abilities, and they are also needed by the team. What Ye Qiu needs to do now is actually how to combine them. , integrate into the team as a whole, so that they can better serve the team, rather than obliterating their personalities and playing styles.

Otherwise, if Ibrahimovic has no personality and Robben no longer likes to play alone one-on-one, will it still be Ibrahimovic and Robben?

…………

…………

In this coaching staff meeting, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff discussed in depth a series of problems that the team had exposed in the past few warm-up matches, of which the problems with Ibrahimovic and Robben were only part of them.

Others, such as the team's defensive arrangement, are also very important.

Gilberto Silva has proven his strength with his performance in the game. He is the most trustworthy player in the midfielder position of Ajax. He is full of confidence, calmness and keen judgment, excellent frontal defense, quick and fast. These shots have ensured his personal defensive ability, but more importantly, he rarely presses for assists and has an excellent sense of position.

In this case, Gilberto Silva plays the defensive midfielder, Abidal and Kivu continue their cooperation with the second team, and Lucio and Maicon become the focus of Ajax next. object of study.

Another problem is goalkeeper Grimm. The 35-year-old veteran's performance in several warm-up matches can only be considered average. Ye Qiu plans to give Stekelenberg more opportunities to see if this young player can Pop up.

However, there is not much time left for Ye Qiu and the coaching staff.

Next is the Cruyff Cup, also known as the Dutch Super Cup. This cup has been held at the Arena Stadium since 1996 and is named after Cruyff, but for Arsenal For Jax, this was a cup match full of humiliation.

In 1996, the first year the Cruyff Cup was held at the Arena, Ajax lost 0:3 at home to Eindhoven. Two years later, in 1998, the team met Eindhoven again. Hoving lost another game 0:2, and in the summer of 1999, they encountered Feyenoord, and the team also lost 2:3.

Many people say that the Cruyff Cup held at the Arena Stadium is a curse for Ajax, because they failed to win the championship three times after participating in the competition. Compared with before 1996, Ajax Si participated in the event three times and won three times. The gap is really not small.

Coupled with the team's sluggish performance during preparations at the beginning of the season, all Ajax fans did not have high hopes for the first team. They believed that winning the Dutch Cup last season was Ye Qiu's peak moment, but coaching the first team Team, he is still very young.

Ye Qiu did not comment on this. He was still training his team and players step by step.

…………

…………

Every time he saw Ye Qiu, Ibrahimovic felt a little uneasy for reasons he couldn't explain.

It's not fear or fear, but a kind of uneasiness, as if facing an absolutely strong person that he can't resist.

It can be said that he already had this feeling before he joined Ajax, but after joining, this feeling became even worse. Even living in Ye Qiu's home could not change this feeling.

Originally, Ibrahimovic was still worried that Ye Qiu would make a lot of demands and conditions for him after moving into Ye Qiu's home, but later he found that he had guessed wrong, and Ye Qiu just regarded him as A very ordinary and ordinary co-tenant. When he comes to the house and eats at the same table, he doesn't say much to him. When he comes to the club, business is still businesslike and everyone is treated equally.

Just like this time, Ye Qiu talked to all the players on the team and finally found him.

"Your recent situation is not ideal, Zlatan, I am not very satisfied with your training!" After reading the training report, Ye Qiu raised his head and looked at the Swede in front of him. His training was indeed a bit sluggish and not enough. excited.

Ibrahimovic knew his own affairs, remained silent and did not refute.

Ye Qiu knew this kid's temper, so not refuting was considered acquiescence.

"Is it because of the previous warm-up matches?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

That was Ibrahimovic's scar. He was severely criticized by the media after the game, but now it was revealed by Ye Qiu. He didn't dare to get angry, but he felt unhappy, so he didn't answer and turned away.

"Do you want to take revenge?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Ibrahimovic turned around and looked at Ye Qiu, but still said nothing.

"I know that you are not very satisfied with some of my arrangements, and I am not very satisfied with your attitude, but you have to understand that I am the head coach of the team, and you are my player. , you can only obey orders!"

Ye Qiu's words were very firm and severe, which made Ibrahimovic startled, and then he wanted to get angry.

This kid is like this, he eats soft things but not hard things, and his personality is like a firecracker. He just takes it easy and doesn't think about whose life he is eating and living in. However, his character proves that he is very straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush. people.

But just before he got angry, Ye Qiu smiled again, "Of course, I have always convinced people with reason. I like to reason and give others a chance, so I just want to make a bet with you. I’m afraid you don’t have the guts!”

Ibrahimovic looked at Ye Qiu and gritted his teeth, "How to bet?"

"It's very simple. I have arranged a set of special training for you. After the training session every afternoon, you will train with the coaches for half an hour. By the end of the season, I will give you a promise. I will help you get revenge. If you can't do it, you can make a request and I will do it, even including giving you a free transfer."

"But we have to agree first. During this period of time, you have to strictly follow the special training plan I formulated without any discounts. Otherwise, our agreement will be invalid and you will also Face my punishment!"

"Do you dare?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

His words were all provocative, asking whether Ibrahimovic had such courage. Obviously, he had already figured out this kid's temper and character in his heart, and knew that he couldn't stand being looked down upon by others, so he deliberately used Use words to motivate him.

Ibrahimovic was a little hesitant because he didn't know what Ye Qiu's special training was.

"Don't worry, it's still too late for you to say you don't dare. At least we haven't started betting yet, right?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Ibrahimovic felt a little angry after hearing this. What he didn't like the most was to be looked down upon by others, even if that person was Ye Qiu, whom he was slightly grateful to. So he heard him nod, "Okay, I'll follow you." You bet!"

"Are you sure?" Ye Qiu asked with a serious face.

"Sure!"

"No regrets?"

"no way!"

Ye Qiu nodded, "I'm optimistic about you, so we don't need to sign an agreement or anything like that. Let's just say it. From today on, you can go for special training with Van Basten and Meulensteen!"

"Then you'd better remember what you said!" After Ibrahimovic said that, he turned around and walked out of Ye Qiu's room.

One year of special training can be exchanged for a free transfer. This deal is not bad for Ibrahimovic. But for Ye Qiu, it is better to give him some explosive news instead of letting Ibrahimovic continue like this. Moreover, he believes that Ibrahimovic is also a person who keeps his word. As long as he promises something, he will definitely do it well.

As for what to do after one year? We will talk about it then!

"So many people in the previous life called him the ruthless and ungrateful Lu Fengxian, I still have to think of a way!" Ye Qiu thought to himself.

I can't really let him transfer freely, right?
