Volume 1 Chapter 199 The Man from Barcelona
The Brazilians saved Ajax!
The day after Ajax's 2-1 win away to Juventus, the Amsterdam Evening Post published such a news on its front page cover, and the photo used Ajax's group of young players celebrating the second goal in front of the live camera, so that everyone could feel the passion and fighting spirit of this young team.
'Long before the game, everyone guessed that it was going to be a very difficult game, Juventus are tenacious and sophisticated, they have a lot of experience in the Champions League, and Ajax are a young team, although they reached the last four last year, they are still far less experienced than Juventus, and they are playing away from home, and the main centre-forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out due to injury.
"No one could have imagined that at the Alp Stadium, this group of young people from Amsterdam showed amazing fighting spirit and strength, and relied on their own strong belief to win the reversal of this game."
"Juventus is the best and best team in Italy at the moment, Lippi is also known as the best coach in football today, defense is his only bible, as early as before the game, there are many people worried about Juventus's defense, Ajax is good at attacking, once it encounters Juventus's impregnable defense, the risk is very high."
"The progress of the first half seemed to reflect this, Ajax took the initiative and insisted on attacking, but failed to break the Juventus goal, while the old lady took the lead through several effective counter-attacks, penetrating the Ajax goal, at that time, I believe the vast majority of people thought that the game might be over."
"Our reporter received the news that at halftime, Ye Qiu and Lippi met at the entrance of the players' tunnel, and Lippi said to Ye Qiu with a confident face, I'm sorry, I won, maybe this angered Ye Qiu, re-energized his fighting spirit and desire to win, and let him return to the locker room, adjust the team, reprimand the players, and re-boost the team's morale."
"At the beginning of the second half, Ajax still chose to attack, but unlike before, the team played very lively, especially on the two wings, but it was a central dribbling push from Brazilian centre-back Lucio in the middle that really opened the game."
"Ajax fans have always had a love-hate relationship with Lucio over the past few years, but after this game, they will definitely love Lucio, because it was the Brazilian centre-back's dribbling that broke the deadlock in midfield and created the goal that followed him with Van der Vaart."
"After the equalizer, Ajax's morale was like a rainbow, Ye Qiu took advantage of the victory to chase, chased Juventus, and soon again through a breakthrough after the break of the central Luya Toure, assisted a stunning long-range shot by Brazilian right-back McCann, this long-range shot is very exciting, the strength and angle are just right, reflecting the strength of the Brazilian right-back."
"After reversing the score, Ajax began to play defensive counterattacks, and Juventus began to counterattack, but the real threat was a counterattack from Ajax, but when Van der Vaart was about to form a single knife, Montero was tactically fouled, and referee Hauge did not give the correct penalty, which has to be surprising, it is undoubtedly a tactical foul."
"Of course, there may be other considerations, after all, L:25-11:3, the former is still hopeful, and the latter almost sentenced the death penalty in the second round in advance."
"For the arrangement of the coaches of both sides in this game, Lippi chose to be stable, Ye Qiu chose to take risks, and the result of the game was also the choice of the two managers, Juventus was evenly matched, nothing brilliant, but there were no big mistakes, and Ajax was brilliant and made mistakes, and they were all obvious."
"But we still have to make an excuse for Ye Qiu, in the case of losing Ibrahimovic and Huntelaar playing a single striker, we gave up the traditional 433 tactics and turned to 442, which is more suitable for the current players, which is also understandable, and the most reluctant, Ye Qiu's adjustment helped the team complete the reversal."
"Anyway, with an away win and two valuable away goals, Ajax has already crossed the threshold of the semi-finals with half a foot, as long as we don't play at the Arena Stadium, we will have the Champions League semi-finals again!"
Compared to the Amsterdam Corriere-Sera's commentary, the headline of Kyodo Daily focuses more on the whole.
Ajax attacks the chain defense with passion!
"Lippi's Juventus have been hailed by many as the bronze wall of Italy, and this team has caused headaches for all opponents on the European stage, and their incredible defensive performance and astonishing ability to take chances have made this team the favourites to win the Champions League."
"But in this game at the Alp Stadium, Ajax made mistakes, and in front of Juventus, who have been consistent for 90 minutes, Ajax paid the price of their youth, but also made full use of their youth and used their passion to attack the Alp Stadium."
"Ye Qiu is like a magician, at halftime at the Alp Stadium, he took l5 minutes to lead the team out of the trough of backwardness, and quickly found a way to re-press Juventus, the opening of the second half, and the two goals that followed, we were amazed."
"A lot of people like to dwell on the line-up of Ajax's game, which is completely unnecessary, because no matter how Ajax changes, they are still the same flying Dutchman in their bones, and no matter how Juventus adjusts, it is difficult to hide their true colors of chain defense, so this game is still a fierce collision of passion and stability in the final analysis."
"It is worth mentioning that Ajax, who has scored 2 away goals and won a victory from the away side, is not necessarily able to qualify steadily, Juventus has the strength to reverse the away game, so Ye Qiu should remain calm enough to find a way to attack Juventus' defense at home."
'Thankfully, Ibrahimovic's comeback has perfected Ajax's strongest squad and we may see Ajax take off again at the Arenal Stadium.
Of course, not all media have given Ajax good reviews and high hopes.
The report from rival Eindhoven Daily is simple, they just say that Ajax defeated Juventus 2-1 away, and Amsterdam's team showed strong competitiveness, while affirming Ye Qiu's line-up, believing that this game was the result of Chinese tactical risk.
The article also mentions Hiddink, and the commentator of the Eindhoven Daily believes that compared to Ye Qiu's adventure and Ajax's passion, Hiddink and Eindhoven seem to be a stable Juventus, but the key is that Eindhoven's strength is difficult to compare with Juventus, and Hiddink is far inferior to Lippi.
The commentary from the Roman La Repubblica simply publicly criticized Ye Qiu's lineup as the key to the team's almost loss, believing that if it wasn't for Ajax's good luck, in the second half, when Juventus was not firmly established, scored two goals in a row to complete the reversal, it would be difficult for Ajax to retreat in this game.
"Trezeguet's goal in the first half is the most powerful punishment for Ye Qiu's gambling adventure, and the Chinese who jumped out of the way also completely showed the prototype in front of the immobile Lippi, even if he finally defeated Lippi, it is difficult to hide the luck component in the whole process, he can hardly be called a coach, let alone worthy of the title of the Champions League semi-finals."
"A member of the Juventus coaching staff told reporters after the game that Ye Qiu walked to the home team's coach's bench very gracelessly after winning the game, and provoked Lippi, thinking that he won the game, which caused the indignation of the Juventus coaching staff, which is also the most undignified move we have ever seen." In response to the accusations and criticisms from the Republic, the local media in the Netherlands have also countered one after another.
In recent years, Ajax can be said to have become a banner of Dutch football in European football, and Ye Qiu has also become a well-known head coach in the Netherlands with his coaching achievements and his own charm.
The Dutch media counterattacked, and the Italian media counterattacked, and for a time the two sides fought hotly, from print media newspapers to the Internet, and even the fans of the two countries followed suit, and the entire European football scene suddenly became very lively
Eliza Moon didn't quite understand, "Why does that Republican newspaper hate you so much?"
Ye Qiu was also helpless about this, and shrugged his shoulders, "In front of my magnanimity, it seems that they are very small-bellied. ”
There is a way for a gentleman to play balls, and the villain hides JJ, who am I afraid of when I am upright?
"It's strange that I believe you!" Eliza suddenly laughed and scolded, she still didn't know Ye Qiu?
However, in her opinion, this is an opportunity, and it is best to make it bigger, so that Ye Qiu's influence can be further expanded, and even let him jump from a Dutch coach to a European coach, laying a certain foundation for influence.
Some people have excellent coaching results, but they have little influence, and some people have poor coaching results, but they have a very great influence, the former is not good at using the media, and the latter is better at building momentum.
It's hard to say which one is better, but in Eliza's opinion, there's nothing wrong with being good at building momentum, and of course, if you want to win the respect of others, you still have to have excellent coaching results, which is the foundation of your foothold in football, otherwise there is nothing to be done
With Ye Qiu's current coaching achievements, as long as he creates momentum, his influence will immediately increase by leaps and bounds.
However, Eliza also knows Ye Qiu very well, according to her understanding, at this time, as long as Ye Qiu stands up and scolds a few words, he will immediately become the darling of the media in the whole world, and his popularity will go up, but Ye Qiu can't do this kind of thing now, so she can only rely on her as an agent to figure out a way.
"By the way, there was a guy from Barcelona called ...... Evariste Mutra, who said he was able to meet you on behalf of one of the candidates who wanted to run for the presidency of Barcelona. ”
"Evariste Mutra?" Ye Qiu frowned, "Who?"
"One of the Barcelona vice-presidents of the early Nunez era, after Gasparter came to power, he left the core management of Barcelona, but who he represents now, it is not clear." Eliza apparently looked into this.
Everyone now knows that Barcelona will start the election for a new president in the summer, and the public election will be in early June, and now all parties interested in running are secretly gearing up, and at the same time preparing all kinds of campaign chips.
Among all the campaign chips, Ye Qiu and Guardiola have been rumored to be boiling.
In the four years that Ye Qiu has been in charge of Ajax, his achievements have been rising, especially in the last two years, the team has shown a very strong competitiveness in the Champions League, and the attacking football is also very in line with the taste of La Liga fans.
is also because of Cruyff's support, so many media speculate that Ye Qiu will become a bargaining chip for the new chairman candidate.
As for Pep Guardiola, the former Barcelona hero re-entered the management of the Camp Nou, which is also what countless Barcelona fans want to see, and whether it can be done depends not only on the candidate's connections, but also on whether he can be elected, if Ye Qiu remembers correctly, it seems that Laporta and a person named Bassat are in the election.
It's just that I don't know who this Evarister Mutra is?
"Do you want to go to Barcelona?" Eliza saw Ye Qiu silent, and asked with a smile.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile when he saw the flower-like beauty in front of him showing a concerned expression, "I said no, do you believe it?" Who wouldn't want to coach a giant? Ye Qiu is confident enough, no matter which team he goes to, as long as the team can form a team according to his wishes and manage according to his ideas, he believes that he can succeed?
Many people say that the wealthy family is as deep as the sea, and Ye Qiu has never been afraid.
When I went to Barcelona, if I didn't accept it, I would be chalked, and if I didn't accept it, I would get out, what about the big-name stars? The most important thing I have in my hands is the big-name stars, whoever is not convinced will give me a fuck!
Of course, if according to Ye Qiu's career plan, he feels that he should first go to the middle of the four major leagues to experience it, and there are currently several teams in the four major leagues paying attention to him, but he has no other ideas for the time being, after all, the most important thing for him now is to lead Ajax to continue to go on in the Champions League.
What's more, he still can't figure out who this Evarister Mutra represents.
"Why don't I help you find your way?" Eliza asked with a grin.
Ye Qiu thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Three hours later, Eliza met Evariste Mutra at the Intercontinental Hotel in Amsterdam.
From the fact that the Spaniard can stay directly in Amsterdam's most luxurious five-star hotel, it is not difficult to see that he is definitely a rich man, and he has always been able to serve as vice-president of membership teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, usually local rich and the like.
"Hello, Mr. Mutra, I am Mr. Ye Qiu's agent." Eliza looked at the middle-aged Spanish man in front of her, she always felt a little uncomfortable, and as soon as she entered the door, the other party walked around her body with a very unfriendly gaze, which made her feel a little annoyed.
"Broker? Don't he have time?" Mutrah faced Eliza, but her eyes were fixed on her towering breasts.
Women who know how to dress are often very good at bringing out their most beautiful parts, and Eliza is undoubtedly the best among them, but women are like this, when they meet someone they like, she wishes you could look at her a few more times, and she can't wait for you to see the difference in even a hair on her body.
But if you meet someone you don't like, if you glance at her more, she will feel uncomfortable.
However, Mutra's first impression on Eliza was very bad, she felt that she was a very rich man, but she was not a woman who specialized in fishing for golden beetles.
"Mr. Ye Qiu is busy preparing for the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, you know, the opponent is Juventus, he ......"
Mutra waved her hand, interrupting Eliza's words, "I know very well and can be considerate, let's not rush to talk about him yet." ”
Eliza some! Surprised, what does this mean?
But before she could react, Mutra changed her eyes, staring at her in a daze, he swore that this was the most charming woman he had ever seen in his life, and she was dressed in good taste, unlike some secular women who were beautiful but unbearably dressed, she had a different temperament and taste on her body
"Your name is Eliza?" Mutla smiled and asked, "I heard that you have been in Amsterdam all along, have you considered coming to Barcelona?" I can help you, you know, without relationships, it is not easy for agents to break into Barcelona. ”
Eliza sensed his ill intentions, put away the handbag beside her, and stood up directly, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." ”
As soon as the woman stood up, she showed a pair of slender and well-proportioned beautiful legs, and immediately became more distinctive, those so-called supermodels are far from comparable, it can really be said that she has the face of an angel and the figure of a devil, and Evarister Mutra, who is used to seeing beautiful women, can't help but be fascinated by it.
"What is your relationship with Ye Qiu?" Seeing that Eliza was leaving, Mutla also stood up and asked.
Football has always been a man's world, even if it is an agent, almost never see a trace of women, and in the world of football, it is often easy to give people the illusion that women are dependent on men.
"I'm his agent!" Eliza replied in the affirmative, serious, and she felt like she had been insulted.
She knew very well that Mutra's words were actually asking if there was any ulterior relationship between her and Ye Qiu.
Seeing Eliza's back as she turned away, Mutla smiled and said, "You think about it, if you want to come to Spain, call me!"
Listening to his tone, he didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with the collapse of this meeting, nor did he feel that angering Eliza would cause any trouble, because in his opinion, Barcelona looked at a manager who had just risen for a few years and was famous, and the other party could still refuse?
The so-called meeting and talking is just going through the motions.
