In the dimly lit living room, a rough TV video is playing.

In the picture, young Louis? Van Gaal gulped down a cigarette, although the rough quality of the picture made it difficult to see his specific expression, but you can still guess the anxiety in his heart at this moment, because the stalemate on the scene made him feel very difficult, and he needed to use nicotine to relieve the emotions in his heart.

On the pitch, Ajax, wearing red and black shirts, is battling AC Milan in white jerseys.

For nearly an hour and a half, no one was able to break through the opponent's goal, and countless times passed by the goal, which has greatly consumed the enthusiasm of the players of both teams and even the fans in the stands.

Such a competition is more like an ordeal!

Van Praag, who already knew the outcome, was patiently waiting in the living room, knowing that an Ajax player would soon come out to break the deadlock and send AC Milan to the guillotine once and for all.

His name is Patrick? Kluivert, he was 18 years old that year.

"Kluivert, who came off the bench, took the ball and he had a big stride, and the defenders next to him were physically squeezing him, which made him a little bit off balance!"

"Oh oops, Kluivert lost his balance, did he fall to the ground?"

But just when everyone thought Kluivert was about to fall to the ground, they didn't expect that the tall Dutch striker stabbed the ball into AC Milan's goal with his left foot in an awkward way that was almost half-kneeling.

At that moment, all the Ajax fans in the stadium were stunned, followed by the almost tsunami of cheers.

The young Kluivert rushed to the sidelines, receiving the cheers and cheers from his teammates, from the Ajax staff on the sidelines, and from countless fans, and this goal made him forever recorded in the history books of Ajax.

The picture is frozen on Van Gaal!

The cigarette between his index and middle fingers burned out, but Van Gaal apparently forgot about it, allowing the long soot to break off with his movement of standing up with excitement and excitement, and his loud gesture made Van Praag hold the pause button, and the picture froze.

Van Gaal on TV is young, but he is also 44 years old.

The more depressed and depressed people are, the more they like to remember the glory of the past that no longer exists, and the easier it is to carry an unrealistic fantasy that they can rediscover the glory of the past.

Van Praag has watched this video many times in the past two or three years, and every time he watches it, he can find something different from it.

He also understands that it may not be the video that brings him different stimulation, but his mood.

And what he watched was not the video, but the decision he made in 1991.

The living room suddenly brightened up, and Mrs. Van Praag appeared in the living room in her pajamas, a very traditional Dutch woman.

"Why don't you turn on the lights? Watching TV in the dark is not good for your eyes! ”

Van Praag raised his head and looked at his wife, who was old, but he dared to say that there was no second person in this world who could understand himself as well as her, so he patted the sofa seat next to him and asked his wife to sit down.

"Didn't you win a Dutch Cup?" The wife saw the TV footage, which she was all too familiar with.

Van Praag sighed, "Yes, I won the Dutch Cup, but it reminded me of a lot of things. ”

"Tell me about it!" His wife knew that what he needed at this time was to talk.

"It was the manager of the second team who won the Dutch Cup, a young man who was only 25 years old.

The wife tilted her head slightly, "The one you mentioned is called ...... Leaf...... Autumn? ”

Her Chinese pronunciation was very awkward, and Van Praag couldn't help but be happy to hear it, smiled, and nodded, "It's him." ”

"So what?" The wife asked again.

Van Praag sighed again, "Earlier, he submitted his resignation to me, and now he is free. ”

"For what? Isn't the club good enough for him? The wife asked puzzled.

Van Praag shook his head, then explained Ye Qiu's explanation, and then looked at his wife quietly, as if he was waiting for something, or maybe he needed support.

"If it were me, I would have considered leaving!" The wife nodded.

"Really?" Van Praag smiled wryly.

"What did Bobby say?"

Van Praag remembered the secret conversations they had in their offices at the Arena Stadium during the day, when the second team was marching around the city. Harms didn't give him any advice as he did in the past, because he felt that he couldn't understand Ye Qiu.

Bobby said that he had never seen Ye Qiu like him in his life, making such rapid progress, and he felt that with Ye Qiu's current strength, he was fully capable of coaching alone, and there were already a number of Eredivisie teams that wanted to invite him to coach, and I heard that Utrecht and Nijmegen had some contact with him.

When the wife heard this, she was relieved, and looked at her husband, and she felt that there were some things that should be said, and it was time to say them.

'I remember the last time I saw Bobby was during the centenary celebration, we lost that game, and Bobby said something to me that impressed me, he said, 'What Ajax needs is a new president!'

A hint of anger flashed in Van Praag's eyes, could it be that even the person he trusted the most no longer supported him?

"I don't think Bobby's words are asking you to step down, but telling me that what Ajax needs is not a president who lives forever in the past and is not brave enough to accept reality."

When Van Praag heard this, his anger turned away, replaced by a look of frustration.

"Michael, I think Ye Qiu is right, it will hurt to scrape off the carrion, but after the pain, the new meat will grow quickly and heal quickly, but if you keep the pain in mind, the carrion will slowly spread and slowly devour the body, and it will be too late to wait for the day."

This was what Van Praag heard Ye Qiu say at the beginning, and later relayed it to his wife, and now, his wife uses this sentence to persuade him.

Sometimes, the reason why a person hesitates is not because he can't tell the difference between right and wrong, but because he is not firm enough, so if someone comes to his aid, it may be a completely different situation.

Van Praag listened, patted his wife's hand, and nodded, "I know what to do!" ”

Early the next morning, Bobby? As soon as Harms arrived at Detokmost, he was immediately told by a staff member that the chairman had just arrived.

This makes Bobby? Harms was stunned for a moment, and then went straight to the administrative office at the Arena Stadium.

"Bobby!" Van Praag sat behind his desk, and when he saw Bobby? Harms walked in and immediately beckoned him over.

Bobby? Harms could sense a slight change between Van Praag's eyebrows, a little strange.

"I've heard that there are a couple of second-team players who are ready to move, right?" Van Praag asked with concern.

Westerhoff has left, and judging from his record at Ajax, I am afraid there is little chance of coaching alone. Huizinger has also been put on the transfer market by the club, and there are currently a number of teams interested in repossessing them, including Heerenveen, but the price is definitely going to be discounted.

The departures of Waters and Westerhoff have left De Tokmostt in a power vacuum, coupled with the current first-team manager hanging in the balance, Leao? Ben Hack continues to play soy sauce, so a lot of things are delayed tactics, or is it handed over to Bobby? Harms took care of it.

"Yes, Kurul has confirmed that he will submit a written application, and he seems to be very unhappy with being replaced by Ye Qiu in the final, and Van der Rowe has also vaguely revealed that he will not be reused at Ajax."

"There is no sense of teamwork!" Van Praag shook his head.

After a pause, Van Praag looked at Bobby? Harms, "Bobby, I have something I want to discuss with you! ”

"You say!" Bobby? Harms was sincere.

"If, I mean if, let you choose, Coe? Adrianse, or Ye Qiu? ”

Bobby? Harms listened, then looked up at Van Praag.

"Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, I just want to hear your answer." Van Praag laughed.

Bobby? Harms smiled, "Then it depends on what your goal is, in my opinion, Coe?" Adrianse's best thing is to develop young players, when he was at De Tokmost, Van Gaal was in the first team, the two worked together to create the revival of Ajax, I believe the reason why you always wanted to bring him in, right? ”

Van Praag did not deny that his preference for Adrianse was indeed a bit of an influence from the Van Gaal era.

It can be said that the reason why Van Gaal's era was able to produce many talents is inseparable from Adrianse's excellence in Detokmost, but everyone remembers Van Gaal, and no one pays attention to Adrianse.

"From Adrianse's solo coaching over the years, I don't think he has the kind of leadership quality that leads the team to the title, and he lacks the ability to bring change to the team at key moments, so you see his Willem II, he has improved very quickly, but so what? Did you win the championship? ”

"From the perspective of a head coach's ability, Ye Qiu has no advantage in any aspect, he lacks experience, lacks experience, and even lacks the ability to guide players to improve, but Ye Qiu is a leader who can lead the team to win the championship, you look at the group of boys in the second team, without Ye Qiu, they are a plate of scattered sand, but with Ye Qiu, Eindhoven and Feyenoord can be killed, this is the difference!"

Bobby? Harms's remarks did not specify who should be chosen, but rather analyzed the abilities and characteristics of the two.

Adrianse's coaching ability and qualifications naturally don't need to be said, but he lacks championship life, such a manager is not nothing, on the contrary, there are many, just like Ranieri, who is called a tinkerer, is this kind of tragic fate.

But Ye Qiu, at first glance, everything is bad, nothing is inferior to Adrianse, but don't forget, coaching ability and coaching experience can be continuously improved with accumulation, but if you want to transform from a quasi-champion coach to a champion coach, it is a huge threshold, how many people can step over?

Van Praag silently pondered in his heart, Bobby? Harms sat silently across from him, and the two of them were speechless.

"Yesterday, Van der Vaart and Sneijder and other second-team players came to the office to meet with me, and they talked about Ye Qiu, and they all expressed the hope that the club could keep Ye Qiu."

Didn't wait for Bobby? Harms replied, and Van Praag continued: "It is also in the last few days that the board has started to negotiate in secret, and they all feel that the current state of the club is very unhappy with the fans, so if there is no improvement in the team's performance in the future, they may even impeach me!" ”

With Van Praag's status in Dutch football, the board may not impeach him, but it may actively dissuade him from his position, and then let him serve as the honorary chairman of Ajax, and re-select a capable and courageous person to serve as the president of Ajax.

"So......" Van Praag smiled, "if there are no accidents, the head coach of the new season will probably be the last manager I have ever picked, with both glory and loss!" ”

The words were serious, but they were said in a somewhat relaxed tone.

The more this is the case, the more Bobby? Harms sighed in his heart, the ambitious Van Praag finally returned, and after so many things, he finally decided to take this step and take a bold gamble!

"Let's go, accompany me to meet Ye Qiu!"

Bobby? Harms listened and smiled, "Then I'll give Van Doud a call!" ”

"Why are you calling him?" Van Praag was stunned.

Bobby? Hams Haluha smiled, "We made an appointment to go to Ye Qiu's place for dinner!" ”

…………

…………

Sometimes, this man is a bunch of foodies.

Ye Qiu just occasionally boasted in front of them, saying that his family's Huang Chu cooking was delicious, but he didn't expect that this group of guys didn't catch the opportunity on weekdays, and now that they were on vacation, they began to find ways to come to eat.

said it was eating Chinese food, but Rick Link, this kid, brought a bottle of red wine, I'll take it, drink red wine for Chinese food?

Roland, this kid is even more desperate, he simply didn't bring anything empty-handed, and said that he just brought a mouth, which is really shameless!

There are only two or three people in Ye Qiu's family on weekdays, and Roland occasionally comes over to eat, in the past few days, Eliza? Moon also moved in, but it was still a little deserted, and it wasn't until today that guests came, and it became lively.

Two women are busy in the kitchen, while three men are chatting in the living room.

"Eh, why haven't Bobby and Van Doud arrived yet?" Ye Qiu gently bumped Roland with his elbow.

"How do I know the way?" Roland, the foodie, was drooling as he smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen.

Rick Link was salivating, "The last time I ate the dishes made by Huang Chu, I went home to eat what my wife made, and it was tasteless, you kid is really blessed." After saying that, the thief-eyed guy raised his eyebrows, "How is it?" Did you get her? ”

"I'll you, what do you think of me?" Ye Qiu had an expression on his face that you should get away from Lao Tzu.

"Am I not thinking about you?" Rick Link said more wronged than him, "The girl is so good, alone in Amsterdam, if you leave, I tell you, there must be a lot of people chasing after you, and you are not there at that time, what should I do?" ”

"I believe her!" Ye Qiu replied.

"Do you believe there's a fart, this chasing girls has to rely on obsession, understand?" Not to mention, Rick Link still looks a little in love with Dr. Love, but I didn't expect this guy to be cool on weekdays, but now he is pretending to be a love saint.

"Eh, didn't your wife say that someone else introduced her? Have you ever been in a relationship? Roland was unconvinced.

"I've never been in a relationship, have you?"

Looking at the two old men in front of him revealing each other's old secrets, Ye Qiu can see that these two guys are estimated to be an idiot in love, no wonder their wives don't look good, how can they understand the knowledge of chasing girls?

Just as Rick Link and Roland were arguing, the doorbell rang.

Ye Qiu ran over directly to open the door, but saw Van Praag standing outside the door, and next to him was Bobby, who had a big bag and a small bag? Harms and Van Doud, looking at them like that, thought they were going to move the whole supermarket.

"What? Not welcome? Van Praag asked with a smile.

"Oh, no, no, no, welcome, of course welcome!" Ye Qiu immediately let them in.

Huang Chu and Eliza both came out of the kitchen, the former is the chef, and the latter is purely soy sauce, when they saw so many things, they were also surprised, there were only a few people, how could they eat so much?

"I don't think I've ever had a chance to get together with you, but while everyone is here today, I'm going to invite you to dinner, so I've called Van der Vaart and Sneijder over, and I guess it's almost there." Van Praag said with a smile.

Of course Ye Qiu was happy, but the house he rented was not big, and suddenly there were so many more people, how could he do it?

"Why don't we go to the yard and have a barbecue!" Huang Chu had an idea and proposed.

Anyway, Van Praag and they bought a lot of meat, which happened to be used for barbecue.

"Okay, barbecue!"

A group of people had no opinion, and suddenly they all began to roll up their cuffs to help.

When he came to Amsterdam, Ye Qiu was alone at first, and then he shared a house with Huang Chu, and it was basically two people, where was there so many people like today, especially after Van der Vaart and they arrived one after another, there were more people, and the yard was full, spreading directly to the shade of the trees on the road.

Even later, the police, the security guards of the community, and the neighbors all knew the Ajax gang, and another group of people joined in, and at the end of the day, it turned into a food carnival.

Among so many foods, the most popular is Huang Chu's craftsmanship.

A few Chinese dishes, coupled with several authentic Shanghai snacks carefully prepared by her, made this group of foreigners who had never tasted real Chinese food eat so much that they couldn't swallow their tongues and were full of praise.

And in so many excited crowds, Eliza secretly raised her eyebrows at Ye Qiu, who knew it.

There is a way to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and Van Praag personally came to the door, and it must not be as simple as a dinner.
