Volume 1 Chapter 19 Do You Still Dare to Bet?
"I think I really like coaching!"
At the bus stop at the Arena Stadium, on the way to Detokmost, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu walked side by side.
The air is fresh because to the west of De Tokmost, there is a large area of green pastures, and the whole of the Arena and De Tokmoste is very well greened.
"Oh, so you didn't like coaching before?" Huang Chu looked at him a little strangely.
"It's not!" Ye Qiu shook his head, "I'...... Actually, just a competitive person! ”
You can see it! Huang Chu didn't say, but nodded.
Or this has a lot to do with his previous life, after all, he didn't do even a vigorous thing in his previous life, and his work can only ensure that he doesn't starve to death, that's all, he hasn't soaked in a girl, his biggest hobby is watching football games, and he is hiding in a snail house to be a complete otaku.
But often the more such people, the more sensitive they are, the stronger their competitiveness, and the less they want to be looked down upon.
Therefore, when Ye Qiu crossed over, as soon as he met Westerhoff and wanted to expel him, especially Westerhoff's dismissive attitude, he felt very unhappy, anyway, he crossed over, anyway, he was in the Netherlands, where he was unfamiliar with life, what did he dare not do?
So he fought with Westerhoff!
"If it was a few days ago and you asked me why I wanted to coach, I would have told you because I didn't want to be looked down upon!"
Huang Chu looked sideways at this compatriot, they were about the same age, Ye Qiu's appearance was also very good, and she had more or less heard about Ye Qiu's things in Ajax, she really felt that Ye Qiu was very remarkable, and he was a person who constantly improved himself.
Maybe everyone doesn't want to be looked down upon, but some people will resist and do something, but some people won't, the former is a great person regardless of success or failure, as for the latter......
Ye Qiu didn't know what Huang Chu was thinking, he just wanted to discuss his current mood with her.
Yesterday he killed the Advancing Eagles and defeated a professional team, even if it was a professional team with a bad performance in the Dutch Second League, but it was a professional team, which was already a very, very happy thing for Ye Qiu.
"Did you notice anything after you came to Holland?"
"What?"
"Actually, it's also very xenophobic!"
"Is there one?" Huang Chu doesn't think that Amsterdam is a famous immigrant city in the world.
"In the documents of the Amsterdam city government, they will use Allochtoon to describe Chinese or other foreign immigrants, but in the Dutch official, the interpretation of this term is very vague, but everyone who knows the Netherlands knows that it is a word full of racial discrimination."
"They look down on us, and they look down on all immigrants, which should be considered the pride of their Westerners!"
Huang Chu has also heard of this incident, there is no official translation of this word, but everyone knows that it is specifically used to describe yellow people or black immigrants in the Netherlands, and even if the yellow race and the Dutch are born after marriage, they still fall within the scope of this term.
The counterpart is Atuochtoon, a term that describes the native, pure Dutch.
"From the day I came to Ajax, I knew that many, many of them looked down on me, but I was not afraid, nor worried, on the contrary, from the day Vesthoff tried to get me out of Detokmost, I told myself that I absolutely absolutely had to prove to them that they were wrong, and that they were very, very wrong!"
Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled, with a little self-deprecation, "Do you think I'm arrogant?" ”
"A little bit!" Huang Chu stretched out his right hand and made a very, very small gesture with his index finger and thumb, "But I don't think you did anything wrong, if it were me, it would definitely be like this!" ”
"Confidant!" Ye Qiu smiled and pretended to be a late meeting.
"Die!" Huang Chu chuckled, but scolded with a smile.
"But now I'm starting to enjoy coaching again because I love the feeling of beating your opponent and being a winner, and I really enjoy the process of being a winner, it's thrilling, it's moving!"
Huang Chu looked at Ye Qiu, she felt that Ye Qiu liked to coach, and in the final analysis, he was still competitive, but what was wrong with this? Isn't a person, especially a man, supposed to be competitive and not admit defeat?
Moreover, in her opinion, Ye Qiu is not the kind of person who can do anything to win!
Some people are very complicated and may not be able to understand after getting along for more than ten years, but some people are very simple and can see through at a glance.
In Huang Chu's eyes, Ye Qiu undoubtedly belonged to the latter.
"By the way, confidant, are we going to cook at noon today?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
Huang Chufen's face blushed, like a delicate and moving tulip, "Get out, don't call me a confidant, numb!" ”
Watching the little beauty walk quickly towards the medical department, a Huang Chu in a white coat appeared in Ye Qiu's mind for no reason, and shook his head vigorously, "I'll take it, the temptation of the uniform is too much, damn the little Japanese devil, it's still poisoning me even after crossing over!" ”
Just as Ye Qiu walked to his office, he saw Roland looking for him everywhere.
"Westerhoff has told you to go to the second floor for a meeting!"
"What's the matter?" Ye Qiu wondered, how could this turtle king bastard look for him for no reason?
"I heard that the Eagle of Advance has sued you!"
"I'll you!"
…………
…………
The Dutch Cup is a traditional cup competition in the Netherlands, for traditional powerhouses such as Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, this cup is just a dispensable competition, with neither a huge prize money nor any coveted sense of pride, and the biggest reward is to be able to participate in the previous Winners' Cup and now the League Cup.
Ajax won the league and cup double in the 97/98 season, and Olsen's team led Van Gaal's legacy of the golden age, creating the most gloomy afterglow of the Ajax dynasty, but after that, the departure of core players such as Litmaning and the De Boer brothers, coupled with the retirement of the old captain Blind, can be described as going and scattering.
In the 98/99 season, Ajax's results plummeted, and even almost missed the European competition, and finally relied on a Dutch Cup to save some face, but it was also ridiculed by the two big opponents Eindhoven and Feyenoord for a long time.
It is not difficult to see from this that the Dutch Cup is more of a fig leaf for the traditional top three, but for those small and medium-sized teams, it is their only opportunity to show themselves and even get a glimpse of the stage of European competitions, so not to mention the Eagles of Progress, even those middle and lower teams in the Eredivisie attach more importance to the Dutch Cup.
A tiebreaker, the Advancing Eagles lost, but they lost unconvinced!
"Obviously, some of your words and mannerisms during the game are not in the traditional style of Ajax!" Westerhoff was reluctant to touch Ye Qiu, but that didn't mean he wouldn't give Ye Qiu eye medicine, not to mention that now the rightful Eagle of Progress called Ajax to protest.
The people sitting in the conference room were all high-level people, chairman Van Praag, head coach Waters and technical director Leao? Ben Hack, as well as Hans, the director of De Tokmost? Vesthoff, Ye Qiu is the lowest position here.
"I don't even know where I'm losing the traditional style of Ajax?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
Westerhoff was also annoyed in his heart, "You know what you said and did in the game, but more than one person heard it at the time, and you shouted so loudly!" ”
"Then the Eagle of Advance doesn't have it?" Ye Qiu asked rhetorically, "They use their bodies to squeeze our players, they use some small actions to interfere with our players, is this the traditional style of their Advancing Eagles?" And what you call the traditional demeanor of Ajax is to endure this? If yes, Mr. Westerhoff, you're fucking great! ”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he deliberately gave a thumbs up, full of cynicism.
"You ......" Vesthoff was so angry with him.
But this matter was indeed a big fuss for him, because he obviously wanted to make trouble for Ye Qiu.
"There's nothing to say about this matter, the Eagles of Advance lost, they were not convinced, we don't need to accompany them to mess around, who loses and who wins, the game has the final say, call to sue the head coach after the game, this kind of thing is not very glorious!" Van Praag directly defined the matter.
With his connections, status and influence in Dutch football, the Advancing Eagle is not yet in his eyes, which is also because the latter did not dare to sue the Football Association, which really angered the big guy, and they couldn't finish eating and walked around.
"Okay, let's not talk about you!" Westerhoff also noticed it, and Van Praag valued Ye Qiu very much, "Let's talk about your name Eric?" Abidal's players have been sent off for two consecutive red cards, what are you going to do? ”
"Warning!" Ye Qiu said confidently.
"The last one was already a warning!" Westerhoff swallowed his anger and reminded.
Ye Qiu nodded, "I know the truth, so give him another warning this time!" ”
"Then you are planning to connive and shield him?" Vesthoff was upset again.
Ye Qiu was surprised in his heart, why was this old man unhappy all day long?
Simply not looking at the old Dutch man with endocrine disorders, Ye Qiu looked directly at Van Praag, "Special treatment in special circumstances, I am very optimistic about Abidal, this player is very talented and potential, but he has never received professional football training in the past, he has always played in the amateur league, so it is inevitable that he will not adapt to the rules of the professional league." ”
"In this case, we should give help and encouragement, not punishment!"
When Westerhoff heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, "How do you know that he will definitely be able to become a talent?" ”
Ye Qiu was also unhappy, and sneered: "I heard that you have always advocated that the club should bring in Heerenveen's center Harris?" Huizinger, so how can you conclude that the striker, who has never scored in double figures in the professional league since his debut, will be able to improve the team's forward line? ”
"It's up to me to judge!" Westerhoff was furious.
He and Huizinger worked together during the Groningen period, and the 26-year-old centre-forward is not the traditional strong center forward of the Netherlands, he is tall, 1.89m tall but has a 93kg body, strong and strong confrontation is his strength, full of impact, is the kind of fulcrum type who can rush to the front.
He didn't score many goals, mainly because he took on more of a supporting role in the game, and when he switched from Groningen to Heerenveen this summer, he immediately became Heerenveen's main striker, helping the team to become second in the Eredivisie all of a sudden, but the player had a little more off-field news and was also a troublemaker.
There is indeed a problem with the current Ajax forward line, this is already the consensus, Brian? Laudrup and Glen Schal both need a strong centre-forward in front of them, but Aviradze and Mahras have not been consistent enough, and both players are around 1.8 meters tall and relatively average in terms of physical confrontation.
Therefore, after being promoted to the first team, Westerhoff advocated the introduction of his old disciple, and he believed that Huizinger's characteristics could greatly complement the shortcomings of Ajax's forward line and improve Ajax's frontcourt deterrence.
Ye Qiu didn't know much about the characteristics of Huizinger, and he didn't know this person, but this time he used it to refute Westerhoff.
"Oh, that's interesting, your judgment must be right, my judgment must be wrong, okay, you have the final say on everything, why do you have to ask me? Wouldn't it be nice if you just said what you wanted to do? Ye Qiu snorted, full of disdain.
These guys are all addicted to the struggle for power, and they all feel that they are awesome and coaxing, and others must not be able to do it.
There is a saying that is very true, those who can't look down on the good of others, don't think about it yourself!
After a pause, Ye Qiu suddenly smiled, "Or, do you dare to make another bet with me?" ”
These words made Westerhoff's face change greatly, losing to Ye Qiu in the previous game was a lifelong shame for him, and no one dared to mention it in front of him all along, but now that Ye Qiu had revealed his scars, he immediately grinned in pain.
"Alright, don't fight!" Van Praag waved his hand to interrupt Westerhoff's words.
The chairman personally intervened, and Westerhoff had no choice but to endure it.
"Since we have already made it clear before, then now the affairs of the second team will be handled by Ye Qiu, I believe that Ye Qiu has the ability to deal with these things, whether it is Abidal's red card or the complaint of the Advancing Eagle, it will end here!"
Van Praag's words can be regarded as ending this matter, and now he also has a headache, because Ajax has obviously split into three factions, Waters, Westerhoff and Ye Qiu, and Leo? Ben Hack, the old fox, was still hiding behind him, and he didn't know what he thought.
There is a saying that it is easier to please God than to send God, and Van Praag also deeply regrets his previous decision!
Among the three factions, Van Praag admires Ye Qiu more, because Ye Qiu has made achievements, and almost never involves power struggles, but he is too young, but it is Waters and Westerhoff, what they think about most is not to lead the team, but how to attract more power.
"I won't say much about the rest, I'll just say a little." Waters did not refute Van Praag's words, but said something else, "I have heard some news that the tactical style of the second team is too conservative, and I think it should be noted that we do not require the second team to produce results, but we need the second team to develop the talent that the first team can use." ”
This is a bit vague, which is equivalent to implying that Ye Qiu's tactics are too conservative.
"Okay, the next time I meet the Advancing Eagles, I will fight against them, and then they will score ten goals and eight goals, I guess this should satisfy those who complain!" Ye Qiu smiled, and his words were also tingling.
This is Ye Qiu's style, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will fight back.
"However, I'm afraid that when the time comes, some people will say that my coaching ability is too bad, knowing that my strength is inferior to my opponent, and I am arrogant to fight against my opponent, to be honest, it is difficult for me to do, or, who can teach me how to do it?"
Even Waters couldn't answer at this point.
He had to admit that Ye Qiu's mouth was indeed able to speak, and he could always find a place for himself.
However, Ye Qiu did not continue to fight back, but was silent and stopped talking.
"That's it!" Van Praag directly put an end to this meeting this time, and he could see that Ye Qiu's second team performed well, and Westerhoff and Waters couldn't see him well, so they had to give him some eye medicine.
"Hehe, no matter what, I still want to congratulate Ye Qiu, your team has reached the fourth round of the Dutch Cup, it's not easy, keep coming back!" Leo? Ben Hack didn't say his first words until then, with a little encouragement.
Ye Qiu felt creepy, and always felt that this old boy had bad intentions.
In the fourth round of the Dutch Cup, a total of 16 teams fought against each other, and now Ajax Team I and Ajax Team II have entered respectively, which can be regarded as the only number one in the Dutch Cup, which makes Ajax fans happy.
Just then, Van Praag's cell phone rang and a text message came.
Chairman Ajax flipped through his phone, glanced at the text messages, and frowned.
"The draw for the fourth round of the Dutch Cup is out!" Van Praag glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was looking at them, and his eyes were full of inquiries, before he continued: "The opponent drawn by the first team is not strong, and they challenge Breda away. ”
Breda is the leader of the Eredivisie this season, and its strength is quite good in the Eredivisie, but in the Eredivisie, especially against a traditional powerhouse like Ajax, it can only be regarded as ordinary.
According to the rules of the Dutch Cup, when Ajax meets Breda, the game has to be arranged at Breda's home stadium.
"Where's the second team?" Ye Qiu asked with concern.
Van Praag smiled bitterly and sighed, "The opponent of the second team is from the Eredivisie, PSV Eindhoven!" ”
"Wow!" Such a sound of surprise was clearly heard in the conference room.
"I'll you!" Ye Qiu almost burst into a foul mouth.
But when he looked at Waters and Westerhoff again, and found that both of them had a gloating sneer on their faces, he immediately changed his face and laughed, "It's not bad, after killing the Eagle of Progress, if you can kill Eindhoven again, it will be a feat!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the four people present were a little dumbfounded.
Is there something wrong with this guy's brain? Eindhoven and Advancing Eagles, is it a level?
