The lively DeTok Most suddenly became deserted, and sometimes it was really unaccustomed to it when I thought about it.

Van Prager likes to take a walk in De Tok Most, especially when there is no one. He walks slowly on cement roads or cobblestone roads between training grounds. From time to time, he will bend down to clean up.

Ye Qiu followed Van Prag and accompanied him. The latter did not feel like the chairman of a club, but like an old man walking in his own yard, wearing glasses and having a fat body unique to the elderly, which was very interesting.

Perhaps many people, including Ye Qiu, think this behavior is a bit boring because the club hired special people to take charge of this, but he still enjoys it and does this almost every day.

Ye Qiu knew very well that he could not understand Van Pragg's feelings for Ajax, but he respected the behavior of this Dutch old man. Because of this, he always stayed by the side. When he talked occasionally, he would inevitably talk about the team.

Just now at the first-team coaching team and staff meeting, Ye Qiu once again emphasized that the team will not give up any game. Ajax's belief and principle are to do their best in every game and strive to be the best.

"Don't tell me how other teams are doing, nor do I tell me how others are doing. I just need to know each of you clearly that Ye Qiu's beliefs and principles are to never give up any game. Even if it is a useless game, I have only one belief and hope to win!"

Ye Qiu said it very seriously because he knew very clearly that someone had any opinions on multi-line combat, and multi-line combat did affect the team's competitiveness in the Eredivisie. At least a few games were lost, especially in this game against Grafsharp, the problem of players' lack of physical fitness was exposed very clearly.

As the head coach, Ye Qiu couldn't blame Peter Brandt for this, because he had done well enough. Anyone could imagine that every week was almost double-front battles, and he had to participate in national team competitions and had to go back and forth. How could the players always maintain a good state?

Therefore, Ye Qiu not only did not shirk responsibility to the employees at the meeting, he did not even mention this issue, but only stated that everyone must abandon different opinions and work together to ensure the team's combat effectiveness and unity.

Van Prager still gave a high evaluation of Ye Qiu's speech and performance at this meeting. At least he is not the kind of young man, and he speaks very carefully, so that all employees can accept it. This is undoubtedly the best way to stabilize the team.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question!"

Walking slowly along the cobblestone road in DeTok Most, Van Prag asked softly.

"How confident are you in the Champions League?"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled faintly, "If you asked me before the season, I would tell you, no, so if you ask me now, I will tell you, no!"

Van Prag was stunned and immediately smiled, "In the words of you Chinese, is this considered..."

"Take one step, count one step!" Ye Qiu added with a smile.

Van Prager laughed for a while. Sometimes he himself couldn't understand Ye Qiu. At least he couldn't fully understand what this young man was thinking. Of course, he didn't doubt Ye Qiu's ability. Until now, not to mention Ajax, even in the Netherlands and Europe, no one would doubt Ye Qiu's ability to coach a professional team.

"I told you before the season that I am determined to win the Eredivisie. I am not just talking about this. I think that to win the championship, you must get at least 80 points. Last season, Eindhoven won the championship and scored 83 points. Before that, I was basically hovering around 80 points."

After hearing this, Van Prager nodded constantly and listened carefully to Ye Qiu's analysis.

"The league is different from the cup. The league is relatively more capable of allowing us to make mistakes, but the probability of making mistakes in the cup is smaller!" Ye Qiu listened and waited until Van Prager nodded, and continued to say: "We still have certain advantages in the league now. It's not that I am arrogant. If we concentrate all our strength to play in the league, I dare say that the championship will not be unexpected!"

It is difficult to explain what gave Ye Qiu confidence, but he really feels that the Ajax he built will become more and more combat-effective, because the entire tactical framework has been formed. As the players grow and improve, and with the continuous improvement and improvement of some details, this Ajax will only become stronger and stronger.

However, the premise is that players must be ensured.

If the team frequently sells people and constantly changes the main lineup, such a team will not be able to maintain combat effectiveness.

This is the key reason why Ye Qiu must keep Ibrahimovic and must get the team's transfer rights.

But it is not possible to just adopt this high-pressure policy. If Ajax is always just arguing in the Eredivisie and bad in the European arena, he will sooner or later be rejected by ambitious players, because when the players' strength increases to a certain level, they will need higher challenges to stimulate themselves.

It is not challenging to be the boss in a group of chickens, and the head of the chicken will always be just a chicken. But if you are the master in a group of phoenixes, as long as you have fighting spirit and enterprising spirit, you will have the opportunity to defeat those bosses and become phoenixes.

If Ronaldo did not leave Eindhoven, would he become an alien?

If Fanny does not join Manchester United, will he still be the king of the penalty area?

The transfer of each player is not just money and interests. Sometimes it is a kind of stimulation, a kind of league to a higher level, and an environment where competition is more inspiring, constantly stimulating yourself, challenging yourself, and keep improving.

"If we just aim at the league, then I can guarantee that soon, within a year or two, our players will definitely be exposed, because the Eredivisie will soon not meet their requirements, just like Gilberto Silva, look at his performance, and Ibrahimovic, Lucio, Robben, and Van der Fate."

"This group of players all have outstanding talents and potential. They have made too fast progress and the Eredivisie will not be able to satisfy them sooner or later. Then they will want to leave and change jobs at that time. What should we do at that time? Reject? Suppress?" Ye Qiu smiled, "Is it useful? In the end, it will only destroy the players' fighting spirit and morale!"

After hearing Ye Qiu's words, Van Prag had to agree with his point of view.

In fact, one of the important reasons why the Ajax team in Van Gaal's period fell apart immediately after two years of glory was that the players lacked goals and lacked stimulation in the Eredivisie, so they all wanted to prove themselves on a higher platform. Coupled with the impact of the Boseman Act, they eventually fell apart.

This has almost become a necessity, that is, after the peak, it will definitely usher in a trough and then reorganize.

"And to be honest, I don't like the way to admit defeat before playing the game. Even if he finds more excuses to be high-sounding, he cannot hide his cowardice before the fight, because the players are not fools, they play the game. If you don't do your best, they will know better than anyone else."

"Today, you can give up another game for this game, and tomorrow, you may also give up more games for another game. What kind of association will this make the players' hearts? They will feel that in the head coach's heart, the game can be given up!"

Ye Qiu smiled coldly and shook his head and said, "The most important thing for a team is faith, that is, the team soul!"

"Everyone comes from different places, has different beliefs, different lifestyles and habits. They have their own experiences and all kinds of strange differences. Therefore, if any team wants to combine these people into a whole, they can only rely on two things, one is money stimulation, and the other is spiritual strength."

"The former is a mercenary, and the latter is a real iron army!"

After hearing Ye Qiu talk about this, Van Prag couldn't help but be completely convinced by him.

Because he finally realized that what Ye Qiu wanted was not a group of professional players, but a group of iron-blooded legions with common beliefs and common goals.

It is easy to hire a mercenary, but it is very difficult to build a real iron-blooded legion.

After patting Ye Qiu's shoulder, Van Prager nodded constantly. He seemed to have re-recognized Ye Qiu because he found that this young Chinese thought farther and deeper than him in many aspects, and looked more ambitious.

Ye Qiu is right. The Eredivisie is just a small role in European football. Sooner or later, it will not be able to satisfy local players like Ibrahimovic and Lucio, and even Robben and Van der Fate. Sooner or later, they will go to a higher stage like Van Basten, like Rijkaard and others to prove themselves and strive to leave their names in the history of football.

And why is Ye Qiu the same?

In the past two years, Van Prager has watched Ye Qiu grow from a youth training coach who just left the school step by step to a well-known head coach. He is more impressed and surprised because this was something he had never thought of when he first saw Ye Qiu more than two years ago.

According to Ye Qiu's development and progress rate, sooner or later, Ajax will not be able to satisfy him. He will also hope to prove himself on a higher stage and compete with stronger opponents.

It’s true that Van Prager guessed Ye Qiu’s thoughts correctly.

In the past, Ye Qiu just hoped to coach a team and prove that to everyone who looked down on him, he would become a qualified professional team head coach, and he led the second team to the Dutch Cup, which proved this.

Later, he wanted to prove to everyone that he could not only do it, but also do it well, so he led the team to win the League Cup and fulfilled his wish once again.

But now, his goal is not just to do it well. He hopes to become a strong man in the head coaching field. He hopes that in the future, fans around the world will involuntarily put him with European coaches such as Ferguson, Wenger, Capello, and Lippi.

This ambition is indeed very great, but if you don’t dare to look farther and dare not enlarge your dreams when dreaming, what’s the point? Is it okay to be careful all your life, follow the steps and not dare to transgress at all?

Ye Qiu spent this life in this way. After he came through time, he swore that he would never live like this again.

When he first came here, he had no capital and did not dare to dream like this. Now, with the League Cup in hand, who dares to say that he was too ambitious in dreaming like this? Who can say that he was only 27 years old and did not become a famous coach?

"Do you... think I'm very ambitious?"

On the Kang River at the University of Cambridge, England, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu were paddling a small kayak and slowly drifting along the Kang River. When they passed under the Kang Bridge, Ye Qiu remembered many things and couldn't help but ask Huang Chu sitting opposite him.

Huang Chu was holding his chin and staring at Ye Qiu rowing in a daze. When he heard him finish his own affairs and asked about his doubts, she smiled and blurted out, "Don'tpart with your illusions. When they are regoney youmaystillexist, but you have ceased tolive."

"Can you stop talking about English-Global order?" Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and said to her Chinese English.

Huang Chu was amused by him and she knew that Ye Qiu could understand English, "This is what Mark Twain said, don't give up your dreams. Even though you can continue to survive after you have no dreams, you are still alive and dead!"

"I can't tell!" Ye Qiu's eyes were spinning on Huang Chu.

When Huang Chu was staring at him with such malicious intentions, his heart couldn't help but feel hot, his pink face immediately turned red, and he said coquettishly: "What are you doing?"

"I didn't expect that you are still a fresh young man!" Ye Qiu smiled even more maliciously.

"What does it mean?" Huang Chu didn't understand.

"Little fresh is..." Ye Qiu didn't know how to explain, "...it probably means literary young women!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed, "Cambridge is indeed Cambridge. Even the air here is filled with the breath of books. Our Achu is now becoming more and more literary and young women, but I am becoming more and more rogue. If I continue like this..."

After a pause, Ye Qiu pretended to be pitiful, "Achu, will you be like Chen Shimei in the TV series, who will be like this, and will leave me as a scoundrel after returning home, and will not fall in love with those tall, rich and handsome men?"

"Look at you like that, it would be a pity if you don't go to the movie!" Huang Chu stared at him with a fierce look.

"That's right, maybe you can win an Oscar even when you act in a movie. We Chinese have never won an Oscar winner!"

Huang Chu saw his stern and cheerfulness climbing up the pole, and smiled again. Anyway, as long as he was with Ye Qiu, he would always try his best to make her happy and laugh. This made Huang Chu so hoped that he could see him every day.

After leaving his seat, Huang Chu moved forward for a distance, sat opposite Ye Qiu, reached out and held Ye Qiu's face, "Although you are neither tall nor rich, nor handsome..."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu almost furious. He was indeed not too tall or rich, but why was he not handsome?

But just when he wanted to refute, Huang Chu turned around and lay halfway in Ye Qiu's arms. This intimate action suddenly made the Kanghe River surface, and the other students and tourists on the kayak were looking sideways.

You know, although it has only been a few months since Cambridge, Huang Chu's beautiful appearance has attracted the attention of many male students. Almost every day when she goes to school and goes to get off work, male students will deliver love letters, but Huang Chu never accepts it. This has spread throughout the student circle of Cambridge University, and some even suspect that she likes women and does not like men.

But now, they all understood that it turned out that the famous flower had a master!

"Ye Qiu!" leaning in Ye Qiu's arms, Huang Chu's face was red. This was the first time she was so bold and proactive.

"Hmm?" Ye Qiu pretended to be calm, but he was almost fascinated by this little girl.

"I really love you, I really love you!" Huang Chu said with a slight crying voice.

The sound was very light, only Ye Qiu could hear it.

"So too!" Ye Qiu simply stopped rowing a kayak and pulled out his hand to hug Huang Chu.

Since I realized that Ye Qiu has done a lot of things for Huang Chu, and Huang Chu saw some things in his eyes and remembered them in his heart, but Huang Chu may not know some things himself, but Ye Qiu did them for her, so she was particularly moved.

For her, Ye Qiu has always been tolerant towards Huang Jinsong. Huang Chu understood very well that with Ye Qiu's arrogant personality, being willing to do these for her would be considered a huge concession, so she always kept it in her heart.

But when his mother Chu Yun called her, when she said that Ye Qiu gave her Huang Chu's call, Huang Chu's tears couldn't help falling, because even though she had a quarrel with her father, Ye Qiu could still do this for her. Huang Chu could not think of anything other than love her.

In Ye Qiu's heart, he felt that he was a man, and as a man, he should bear and protect his woman. Moreover, he always felt that his affairs with Huang Jinsong should not be at the expense of Huang Chu and making Huang Chu feel pain.

Just as Chen Zhong said, if you love her, you should consider it more for her, otherwise, is that still called love?

"My mother called you two days ago. I heard that after my dad came home, he talked about you!" Huang Chu leaned in Ye Qiu's arms and whispered the secret that his mother secretly leaked to her.

"Oh, is that?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, "It should be scolding me, right?"

Huang Chu glared at him angrily, "No, this time. Brother Zhong said, my dad has changed his mind about you now, and my mom also said, "My dad was not angry when he talked about you, but just asked a few questions about my situation and study."

"How did he know?" Ye Qiu refers to the matter in which Huang Chu and his mother Chu Yun were connected.

Huang Chu raised his head and poked his forehead gently with his jade-like fingers, "Do you really think my dad is a fool? He is smarter than anyone else, but he deliberately pretended not to know about some things."

Ye Qiu smiled and was not surprised. Such things can be guessed by Chu Yun's change.

"Don't worry, Ah Chu!" Ye Qiu hugged Huang Chu's slender waist vigorously, "I promise you, give me some more time, and I promise to marry you openly into our Ye family's door!"
