Chapter 203 Fighting Barcelona Again

Ajax slapped Juventus three times

The slutty battle of the Zebra Legion

Juventus is useless

Magician Ye Qiu defeated the silver fox Lipi with cunning

Ajax advances perfectly, and may reach the top again with hope

The next day, major mainstream media in Europe reported on the game that happened at Arena last night. Almost everyone believed that Ajax's performance in this game was perfect, and Juventus failed to grasp even the slightest bit of initiative from beginning to end.

The German kickers even used a special article to report on Ajax's head coach Ye Qiu. They believed that it was Ye Qiu's strategy in this game that allowed Ajax to defeat Juventus in such a perfect posture and become the favorite to win the championship second only to Real Madrid in the Champions League.

"In the past, we always thought that Chinese football was very behind. They rarely had players who could gain a foothold in the top European leagues. They even had a rare opportunity to participate in the World Cup finals. They performed poorly in the Korean and Japanese World Cup. We always felt that their football was bad."

"But now, we have to admit that in the past we have misunderstood Chinese football. At least, they have a very, very outstanding and very young genius magician who used this powerful Ajax to justify himself."

"In the UU season, it was praised by Ajax fans as the darkest season after relegation in the club's century history. At that time, almost everyone was desperate about Ajax, but under Ye Qiu's drastic reforms, they won countless shocking honors in just three years."

"League Cup champion, Eredivisie, Dutch Cup champion, European Super Cup champion, Dutch Super Cup champion... Now, they have reached the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive seasons, and everyone can no longer ignore this powerful team from the Netherlands. No one can deny that the powerful Ajax in the 1990s has returned again."

"This time, Ajax is younger, more motivated, faster, stronger and sharper than Van Gaal's period. What's even more shocking is that the team that Ye Qiu formed in three years, which did not cost Ajax much. The most expensive of all players is to get Van der Sar from Juventus, worth 7.5 million euros, but I believe that in the past two years, everyone will think that Ajax's captain is worth the money."

"What is even more impressive is that Ye Qiu has cultivated an outstanding genius in this team. From when he led the second team to the Dutch Cup, he trained outstanding rookies such as Van der Fat, Sneed, Kivo, Hunteral, and later he kept introducing amazing supernovas such as Ibrahimovic, Macon, and Lucio. Ye Qiu has reaffirmed this Ajax's nickname as Star Factory, making this Ajax a rookie."

"Based on our interviews with club chairman Mr. Van Prager at the Ajax training base at DeTok Most, and many senior club employees, they all believe that Ajax has changed a lot in the past four years, from management and administration to every young team in DeTok Most, almost all have changed drastically."

"Now, Ajax is not only full of talents in the first team, but also a well-known team in the Netherlands and even Europe. All of this is inseparable from the solid foundation Ye Qiu has laid for Ajax in the past four years."

"I heard that in Amsterdam, many fans call Ye Qiu a [phenomenon] in the coaching field, but many people also think that he is like a [magic] who turns stones into gold, and can turn all the impossible into possibility."

"So, after Ajax defeated Juventus 0 at home, Amsterdam was almost all night long, and countless fans seemed to have returned to the most brilliant and peak years of Ajax in the past. They are also looking forward to the team being able to continue to work hard and go further in the Champions League."

The so-called going further is what Shuld Moso, a well-known reporter of the Communist Daily, proposed in his column that Ajax has a full chance to create higher glory. He believes that Ye Qiu has a full chance to catch up with the legendary coach Michels, that is, to create Ajax's triple crown.

In his column, Schulder Moso said, "The football environment in Ajax is now more difficult than in 19 years. Michels led the team to win three championships in the Dutch Cup, Eredivisie and European Champions League, respectively, and made Ajax's triple-champion. Now Ye Qiu is on the legendary path that legends have taken forty years ago."

"History is moving forward, and it is difficult for us to define which Ajax is better, but as Cruyff said, if we look at it simply in terms of combat effectiveness, this Ajax is more combative and stronger than Ajax during the treble-championship period, and is stronger and more offensive than Ajax during the van Gaal period."

"And we all have reason to think that Ye Qiu will follow this team to record himself in the history of Ajax, and join Michels, Van Gaal and others to be the best legendary coach in Ajax's history."

But Schulder Moso also mentioned his guess in his column, that is, Ye Qiu is likely to leave Ajax this summer, but he said that he could not give the reason, so he could only say that the fate was over.

After Ajax performed well in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, more and more teams have taken a fancy to Ye Qiu, Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, and almost the four mainstream leagues in Europe. All teams who want to change coaches in the summer are inevitably involved with Ye Qiu.

Of course, not all teams are qualified to extend an olive branch to Ye Qiu. According to the English Times, if you want to win the favor of this young Chinese coach, you must at least be a competitive and ambitious team in the four major leagues.

So far, Barcelona is the one who pursues Ye Qiu the most.

Cruyff's favor and appreciation for Ye Qiu has been around for a long time. With the support of this Barcelona godfather, coupled with the past precedents of Cruyff and Van Gaal, it seems that Ye Qiu's entry into the Camp Nou Stadium was a natural thing. There are even media in the Catalan region hypes the topic of Ye Qiu's leadership in the team.

Barcelona fans are also full of expectations for Ye Qiu's arrival, but a large number of people think that the semi-finals between Ajax and Barcelona are a test of Ye Qiu, especially in the first leg, Ajax's visit to Camp Nou Stadium is undoubtedly an interview opportunity provided by Barcelona fans to Ye Qiu.

But in an interview with the media, Ye Qiu repeatedly stated that he had two years of contract with Ajax, and his only idea now was to fulfill this contract with Ajax, and he would not consider other things. Everything was based on the team's performance.

This is also understood by the outside media as a move by Ye Qiu to appease the players and fans. Before the end of the season, he will not be prepared to discuss any related topics, and whether he will stay in the team will have to wait until the end of the season.

In the round of Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Alkmaar away.

It was still in the first half, and it was Ajax's attack, with Van der Fate and Robben's goals, which helped Ajax take the lead in the first half. Van der Mede's goal, who came on as a substitute in the second half, gave Ajax a 0 advantage. In the end, although Alkmaar won a goal, Ajax finally defeated his opponent l away.

Although Eindhoven defeated Grafsharp away in this round and vented his resentment, he was still unable to catch up with Ajax in the end. They could only watch Ajax from behind and from a distance.

A week later, Arena Stadium, opponent Valvek.

When everyone thought that Ajax would stay ahead of Barcelona away, Ye Qiu's team was on his own territory, l slaughtered Valvek and Hunteral scored a hat-trick, Yaya Toure, Kroo Toure and Van der Mede scored one after another.

Among them, Hunteral, who scored the team's last goal, was also the 100th league goal that Ajax scored in the Eredivisie this season, which shocked the entire Dutch football world, because in the history of the Eredivisie, there are only a handful of teams that can score 100 goals in a single season. The most recent team is Eindhoven, the peak of the 990 season, with 105 goals.

But now, with four rounds in the league, Ajax has scored 100 league goals, and their conceded only 15 goals, which is another surprising record of concedings, even fewer than Hiddink's Eindhoven, which is very surprising.

Ajax swept almost the entire Dutch field. In the past two seasons, the team has improved almost every game, and almost every time it has been amazing at their outstanding performance. This group of young geniuses are creating their own era, their Ajax dynasty.

Oh no, they have created the Ajax dynasty, and now they are continuing the glory of this dynasty

This is the evaluation of Ajax's outstanding performance by Dutch media Daily.

After playing the 30th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax rushed to the away game without stopping, Barcelona

"If you were sitting here a few days earlier, you would find that Barcelona fans did not buy the team's account at all, and they wouldn't even want to come to the Camp Nou to watch the La Liga."

Sitting outside the balcony of a room in a four-star hotel where Ajax stayed, looking at the streets below the hotel building, the tension and excitement of the pre-contest comeback are everywhere, and Barcelona fans can be seen everywhere, and the strong atmosphere of the game can be felt anytime and anywhere.

According to Cruyff, such an atmosphere is difficult to see in La Liga this season.

"Fans are very realistic, no matter which team they are, this is true." Cruyff sighed.

This Dutch Football Saint came to the hotel to visit Ajax. Although he is the Godfather of Barcelona's football, he is also a celebrity from Ajax, so it is common to visit the set before the game. After chatting with the players and the coaching staff for a while, he talked to Ye Qiu in the room.

Barcelona now no longer have any hope for league championships and qualifying for the Champions League. The top four in the league are no longer their share. All they can strive for is to get the qualification for the League Cup. This is simply an unacceptable result for the arrogant Barcelona.

Of course, no one will blame Antić for his poor performance. In fact, Antić has done well enough. What really brought disaster to Barcelona is Van Gaal. After Antić took office, the team's performance has improved by leaps and bounds and performed very well, but obviously it has not been able to save the situation.

When it was rumored that Ye Qiu would take over the Camp Nou, Barcelona's temporary management did not deny it. The signing of a temporary contract with Antić was also a temporary contract that expired after the end of the season. Therefore, everyone knew that Antić's dismissal after the season would be inevitable. The only suspense is that will the new coach really be Ye Qiu?

Ye Qiu is not considering future matters at all. He now feels that this game at Camp Nou is difficult to play, because Barcelona no longer has the La Liga and even has no qualification for the Champions League. The only thing they can do now is the Champions League, reaching the semi-finals and meeting Ajax again, so naturally they want to go further.

Cruyff was not here to be a lobbyist for Barcelona. He didn't think Ye Qiu would deliberately let the water go. He just wanted to understand what Ye Qiu thought about and see if he had considered leaving Ajax.

"You know, no team will last forever, especially for a team like Ajax. In less than two years, the group of players you bring out will be dispersed, your team's performance will be affected, and you may even be dismissed because of this. This is the sorrow of the small team.

Unlike other lobbyists, Cruyff's statement hit Ye Qiu's situation at this moment.

Last season, only Gilberto Silva and Sedo Keita were sold, both of which were left by Ye Swingqian's efforts to keep. Now the team has reached the semi-finals again. This summer, the giants split Ajax, which is an inevitable result. The key is not whether Ajax wants to sell people, but whether Ajax can sell a few less?

In Ye Qiu's opinion, the board of directors' attitude towards this is also a green light, so even now they still haven't said anything, because they know that Ajax can only continue to live in this way and force players to stay is not of any benefit to the club. Could it be that they have to wait until their contracts expire and leave freely?

Sometimes in professional football, this should be the case, only talking about interests and not feelings.

"Do you know, what was the thing I regret the most back then?" Cruyff asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu shook his head, but could vaguely guess something.

"I just didn't leave Barcelona at the peak of the team."

This is also very realistic. If Cruyff had chosen to retreat bravely, his coaching career at Barcelona would be perfect, without any incompleteness. At least, many fans would not be able to help but think about him being ruthlessly humiliated by Capello in the Champions League final and being revenged by Real Madrid.

Cruyff stood up from his seat and walked towards the balcony railing. Standing here, he could look down at the distant city of Barcelona. "Only by standing higher can you see further. Ajax is no longer satisfied and is no longer suitable for you."

What cannot be satisfied is Ye Qiu's ambition, while what is not suitable is Ye Qiu's strategy of adhering to the team's competitiveness. The board of directors obviously cannot continue to accommodate Ye Qiu in this regard and continue to stay. In the end, there is only one result and it ends up unhappily.

Ye Qiu also stood up and smiled, "No doubt you are a very outstanding lobbyist, John, but I don't plan to think about so much now. For me now, there is only one idea."

Cruyff heard the implicit sound from Ye Qiu's words and smiled very satisfied. He admired young people with fighting spirit and motivation, and he also felt from beginning to end that Barcelona's problem could not be solved by changing a head coach, but that it needs to be reformed from the bottom of the bone.

There is no doubt that Ye Qiu is the best reformer in Cruyff's view.

"That's to defeat Barcelona." Ye Qiu said what he thought now.

Cruyff still kept a smile. He felt that he had already got the answer he wanted today, but many things had not yet surfaced. It was as if the candidates for Barcelona had not been officially released, and Ye Qiu would definitely not express anything. This is not a kind of self-protection.

"I heard that you are getting married soon?" Cruyff asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu was slightly embarrassed. Since the media revealed this question, I don’t know how many times I have answered this question.

"Yes, I'll go back and prepare after the league."

"I also heard that the bride met in Ajax?" Cruyff smiled.

Ye Qiu shook his head, "No need to say it, it must be Van Dude's big mouth."

After hearing this, Cruyff burst into laughter. Although he had been away from Ajax for many years, many of his connections were still there, especially Bobby Hams, Van Dudd and others, who had a good relationship with him, which also ensured that Cruyff could receive some internal news about Ajax anytime and anywhere.

There is no doubt that the biggest news recently is that Ye Qiu is getting married.

"How is it? Are we welcome to watch the ceremony then?" Cruyff asked.

Ye Qiu originally planned to invite Ajax players and some good senior executives and staff, but he believed that there must be many uninvited guests at that time. At least those omnipresent reporters heard that they had started to go to Xiamen to check in. God knows what they will do then?

In short, this matter is getting bigger and bigger.

"Of course we welcome, but according to our Chinese rules, you have to give a big red envelope." Ye Qiu specially took the big words very seriously.

How old is it?
