"I really didn't expect it to be the second team of Ajax!"

In the head coach's office at the Feyenoord training base in Rotterdam, Belt? Van Marwijk was smiling helplessly.

This season's Eredivisie can be described as Eindhoven's standout, although Feyenoord's performance is good, but it has never been able to shake the leader position of PSV Eindhoven, and even in the league runner-up battle with Heerenveen, Feyenoord is also at a disadvantage, which has something to do with their performance too much ups and downs.

With the expansion of the UEFA Champions League this season, the Eredivisie has now secured three places in the Champions League, with the first and second places in the league both going straight to the group stage, while the third in the league is going to qualify for the third round.

Feyenoord currently occupy third place in the league, but the gap between Heerenveen in second place is two points, and Witesse in fourth place and Twente in fifth place, and the slightest carelessness could be kicked out of the Champions League qualification zone at any time.

Not being able to play in the Champions League is a huge loss for any club.

In the absence of the Eredivisie, Feyenoord tried their best to qualify for the Champions League, while almost all their energy was put into the competition for the Dutch Cup, after all, if they could win the cup, it would be a consolation to the fans.

"Who would have thought that?" Assistant Coach Mario? Bean shook his head and sighed, "When we killed PSV Eindhoven, everyone thought it was an accident, but who would have thought that Utrecht, Heerenveen, and all the teams in the Eredivisie fell on this little-known second team, how ironic is it?" ”

In Mario? In Bean's view, a team in the Eredivisie was eliminated by the second team, which can definitely be said to be a big upset, but if such an upset appears again and again, it is not an upset, but a shame, a shame in the Eredivisie.

"Ye Qiu ......" Van Marwijk's mind came up with the awkward name of the head coach of the Ajax second team, or from China, a weak football country, which can be said to be a person he is completely unfamiliar with and very strange.

According to the intelligence sent by the scouts, this season is his first season in charge, but he has been continuously promoted by Ajax, from the U10 at the beginning of the season to the U15 later, and then to the Ajax second team, his improvement rate is very fast, even surpassing Luiz that year? Van Gaal! "Mario? Bean said.

"You mean he's Van Gaal II?" Van Marwijk asked with a smile.

Bean pouted, "At least that's what a lot of Ajax fans think, and some say he's Michels II." ”

"Ignorance!" Van Marwijk sighed helplessly, "But this person should be very level, at least he can bring the second team to the Dutch Cup final, and this ability must not be underestimated." ”

"I know the way!" Mario? Bean nodded, "I have arranged for the club scouts to follow the game of the second team of Ajax, according to the information fed back by the scouts, they have basically won the championship in the second team's league, and they are bound to use this sharp spirit to attack the Dutch Cup championship in one go." ”

Once a weak team performs well, that sharpness is often more vigorous and flamboyant than that of a strong team.

"I heard that after Ye Qiu defeated Heerenveen, he shouted in the arena that he wanted to win the championship, right?" Van Marwijk asked.

"Yes, the Ajax fans cheered for them!"

Van Marwijk listened, and instead laughed.

"How?" Mario? Bean wondered, wasn't Van Marwijk afraid?

"Remember last year's Dutch Cup final?"

Mario? Bean nodded, he and Van Marwijk were still in Fortuna Sittard, and they led the team that was not very strong in the Eredivisie, knocking out a number of strong opponents along the way to the final, but lost 0-2 to Olsen's Ajax in the final, which also made Van Marwijk miss out on the first trophy of his career.

"A year later, it's the Dutch Cup final, it's still us and Ajax, but the situation seems to have changed!" Van Marwijk smiled coldly, he couldn't forget the defeat a year ago.

At that time, he led a professional team for the first time, and along the way, with a breath of air in his chest, he reached the final, and met Ajax who was better than himself, they were not afraid, but just when they were about to kill the opponent in one go, the old and spicy Ajax in turn completely defeated them.

Van Marwijk still can't forget that defeat.

From Fortuna Sittard to Feyenoord, Van Marwijk is no longer the stunned young man he was a year ago, and he is not leading the underdog team with the nouveau riche atmosphere, but Feyenoord, one of the traditional top three in the Eredivisie.

"A year ago, we lost because we were too sharp, we were too sharp, so that in the final, we couldn't get rid of the bottleneck of all the dark horses, which is a bit like a sports car, starting to rush too fast, trying to brake, but can't stop!"

"At that time, Ajax, who were playing steadily, took advantage of our shortcomings and weaknesses to slowly wear down our sharpness, and at the same time, they took advantage of this to accumulate enough physical energy, and then in the second half, they fought back with all their strength, scored two goals in a row, and completely defeated us!" As he said this, Van Marwijk looked at his assistant and smiled.

"Don't you think that Ajax II is sharper and younger today than last year's Fortuna Sittard?"

What did he say, Mario? Bean thinks so.

Last year's defeat made everyone unwilling, but later analyzed, they also felt that the defeat in Fortuna Sittard was too radical, which is also the disadvantage of all dark horse teams.

Today's Ajax second team is more aggressive than Fortuna Sittard, because their players are too young, basically around 16 years old, and the head coach Ye Qiu is a person who has never had any coaching and career, at least Van Marwijk has a career of many years, so the current Ajax second team is more like a dark horse among dark horses.

"We will deal with them as they do to us, it's fair!" Van Marwijk's eyes narrowed, and he became very cold.

…………

…………

Reaching the final of the Dutch Cup, Ajax II immediately became the darling of the whole of Amsterdam.

Almost every day, fans come to cheer on the team outside Detokmost's training ground, almost every day a few reporters come here to do interviews, and almost every day a group of fans stand outside the training ground, waiting for the players to sign autographs and take pictures.

This kind of treatment has never been seen in the history of Detokmost, which suddenly made everyone in the entire training base feel flattered.

Especially after the team defeated several opponents in the league and won the Youth League championship, everyone is full of expectations for the upcoming Dutch Cup final, and the training ground is also in full swing, and everyone can't use 200% energy and strength.

Can be in Bobby? In Harms's view, this is not a good thing.

As night fell, all the players had left De Tokmost, and only a few offices were still lit up.

Bobby? Harms walked into the medical department, and as he expected, he saw Van Dude and Huang Chu who were busy doing things, and also saw Ye Qiu, who was waiting for Huang Chu to get off work, sitting in the reception room and reading a scouting report carefully.

"Hah, Bobby!" As soon as you see Bobby? Hams, Ye Qiu immediately closed the report.

"How? Scouting report from the first team, how does it feel? "Bobby? Harms pointed to the report in Ye Qiu's hand.

This is a report specially prepared by the scouting department in accordance with the standards of the first team, and even a few of Ye Qiu's own requirements have been added to it, which is a report of Feyenoord specially tailored for Ye Qiu, and some game videos.

"I'm kind flattered!" Ye Qiu patted his chest and smiled.

Bobby? Hams Ha Lu smiled and sat down directly opposite Ye Qiu, "How is it?" I heard that you have been researching every day recently, do you have any experience? ”

Ye Qiu smiled, "What do you think of Belt?" What about Van Marwijk the man? ”

He has read a lot of works by football gods, and many of them have mentioned that the character of the head coach often represents the character and style of a team, and the arrangement of a game is largely a competition between two head coaches.

The closer the strengths, the more decisive the relationship between the managers will be to the game.

"How so?" Bobby? Harms hissed, as if thinking hard, "Van Marwijk is a person who has not received much attention from the media, and I haven't had a lot of contact with him, but what impressed me very much was the Dutch Cup final last year. ”

"Yes, he was leading Fortuna Sittard and we met Ajax in the final!" Ye Qiu also noticed this.

With the experience of last year's final, Van Marwijk must have had some advantage.

"He's a low-key, pragmatic person, and the team he coaches is just like his character, more balanced, attacking and defending, and Feyenoord's defense has really gone a little bit wrong this season, especially in the choice of partners for central defender Van Ondelen, which exposed a lot of problems that led to them losing a few games."

"But in any case, his first season in charge of Feyenoord was relatively successful, and there is a good hope of staying in charge!"

Ye Qiu's evaluation of Van Marwijk is similar to Bobby? Harms is about the same, but not as deep as the latter.

"Actually, your current situation is a bit similar to him last year!"

When Ye Qiu heard this, he looked at Bobby suspiciously? Harms, he felt that the eyes of the old Dutchman were full of wisdom and depth.

"Fortuna Sittard has never been very strong, but last season after knocking out a number of teams that were better than him, he reached the final, I remember that Olsen was going to give up the initiative to attack, and a lot of people in the coaching staff were against it because we were better than the other side, but I think Olsen made the right choice."

After a pause, Bobby? Harms smiled, "Many people like dark horses, but it's rare to see a dark horse that can be black to the end, do you know what the road is for?" ”

Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Bottleneck!" ”

"Yes!" Bobby? Harms praised, he felt that Ye Qiu was able to answer this question, which in itself proved that his strength had improved, at least surpassed Bobby? Harms estimated him.

Think about it sometimes, Bobby? Harms has to admit that Ye Qiu is really talented in coaching, and his progress in the past year can be described as a rocket, it's incredible, Bobby? Harms can say that he has never seen a manager in his life who can improve so quickly like Ye Qiu.

But is this because of Bobby? Harms didn't know what to do, Ye Qiu read all kinds of football books in the study room almost every night, and often studied the writings and football experience of some football gods, which made him improve very obviously.

"The reason why dark horses are dark horses is because they lacked attention before, everyone thought they were weak, which is not a disadvantage for them, but an advantage, because the opponent doesn't know them, they can do it by surprise, but the question is, one game or two is a dark horse, defeating several strong opponents in a row, when everyone starts to pay attention to you, are you still a dark horse? Can you still win by surprise? ”

"The reason why many dark horse teams can't go black to the end is that their own strength is part, but the more important reasons are two points!"

Ye Qiu listened silently, but he remembered it very carefully in his heart, and he had to memorize almost every word clearly.

"One is the bottleneck you mentioned, when they go from a dark horse that no one pays attention to, to a team that is in the limelight, and they can no longer win by surprise, what do they rely on to beat their opponents? What does it take to win a game? That's a point! ”

"Another point is their mentality, because they have beaten a lot of strong opponents along the way, which makes the dark horse team full of confidence, even over-inflated confidence, before every game, so once they get to the game, once they find out that the game is not as they imagined, they will be completely panicked."

"So, if you look at all the dark horse teams, the one that is black to the end, basically handles these two problems very well, and in all the teams that compete with the dark horse teams and win, almost all of them are arranged around these two points."

Ye Qiu nodded heavily, "I understand, Bobby, the first team should have used this to defeat Fortuna Sittard last year, right?" ”

Bobby? Harms smiled and didn't deny it, "I always felt that sacking Olsen was a stupid decision, he did a good job here, his second season plummeted, and he couldn't put all the blame on the manager. ”

"Anyway, thank you, Bobby!" Ye Qiu saw Huang Chu beckoning, obviously she was done.

Bobby? Harms also looked back and saw Huang Chu, who was smiling like a flower, and was also very knowledgeable, "Good luck!" ”

Ye Qiu smiled and patted Bobby? Behind Harms's chubby shoulders, he walked out with Huang Chu.

In the summer, the temperature is starting to warm up.

Ye Qiu accompanied Huang Chu all the way from Detokmoste to the west quietly, and only when the vehicle passed by, would the tranquility in their hearts be broken.

"Bobby is really an amazing guy!" Ye Qiu remembered with Bobby just now while walking? Harms' conversation really benefited him a lot, especially when he thought about how difficult the match against Heerenveen was.

"So, everyone in Detokmostri worships him like a baby!" Huang Chu said with a smile.

"Does that count...... Is there a treasure in the family? Ye Qiu laughed, "However, this treasure of our family is too fat!" ”

Huang Chu giggled non-stop, "Be careful that Bobby hears it and tears your mouth." ”

"If you dare to go to the informant, I will gag your mouth first!" Ye Qiu also threatened.

These words made Huang Chu lose his voice, his face was hot, he must have wanted to be crooked.

But the lights are dim and someone can't see them.

Feelings are a very strange thing.

It's like Ye Qiu and Huang Chu, perhaps, they both have a little strange feelings for each other in their hearts, and they are both guessing each other's psychology, but they don't dare to say it directly, they can only tease and stimulate each other with some ambiguous ambiguities on weekdays.

No one is willing to take the initiative to break this situation, because no one wants to bear the painful consequences that if they guess wrong, they may not even be able to do it, so they can only continue to maintain the status quo and continue to wait for the day and event to change the situation.

Perhaps, this is cowardice in the eyes of many people, but is it really cowardice?

When you really, really care about someone, would you be willing to take the risk and suffer the consequences?

For Ye Qiu, his first love may not be brave, but it is very sweet and enjoyable, because he can accompany Huang Chu on this three-kilometer journey home every day.

And for Huang Chu, her first love is also very romantic, because she likes to be like this, with this warm feeling of being protected, cared for, and accompanied by others, she walks home.

Maybe stupid, stupid, but they have fun.

"Achu!" When he was almost at the door, Ye Qiu suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Huang Chu looked at Ye Qiu, his beautiful eyes shining in the light.

"If I lose the game, you'll be my girlfriend, okay?" Ye Qiu looked at her and asked.

Huang Chu blushed, but asked rhetorically, "Why do you have to lose to ......?"

"Hehe, in that case, I think I can at least win something!" Ye Qiu sneered.

Huang Chu glared at him angrily, "I refuse!" ”

"Huh?" Ye Qiu was stunned.

"I say, I refuse!" Huang Chu was categorical, said word by word, and walked forward directly after speaking.

Where did Ye Qiu stay alone, wondering in his heart, did his words make Huang Chu angry?

When I think about it, it's really a bit like looking for a substitute, and anyone else will be angry.

"But ......" Huang Chu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, looked back and smiled, "If you win, I'll be your female companion, but okay, just this time!" With that, she flew to the house.
