The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 101 Faction Disputes
The Hague is the third largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

Although the capital of the Netherlands is Amsterdam, the central government of the Netherlands, the Queen's Palace, and even all government agencies, foreign embassies and the Supreme Court are located in The Hague, which makes The Hague the political center of the Netherlands.

At this very moment, in The Hague, Dick Advocaat, who has just started his summer vacation, is having dinner with Ajax director Korner, who is the first to hear that Dick Advocaat has returned to the Netherlands. Immediately got in touch with him.

The performance of Rangers this season is not ideal. There are only 12 teams in the Soviet Super League. Teams play 6 rounds.

According to the final points, the Rangers are 15 points behind the Celtics. Under the leadership of Martin O'Neill, the Celtics have scored 90 goals and conceded 29 goals, leading the Soviet Super League. In other words, the results of the Rangers are much dismal, and in the four games against the Celtics, the Rangers have 1 win and 3 losses, which can almost be said to be a complete defeat.

This made Advocaat seem a little disheartened, and finally decided to leave the position of Rangers head coach, while the club is retaining him as the technical director of the team. He is still considering this, that is, in In this case, Korner called him on behalf of Ajax.

"Hello, Mr. Advocaat!" Corner is a lawyer and is used to meeting all kinds of people. He knows very well how to make a good impression in the shortest possible time, especially when facing Someone he values.

Advocaat has a certain status in Dutch football. He used to be the assistant coach Michels personally determined when he was in the Dutch national team, and he has been praised by Michels more than once. It can be seen that Erles was in charge of the Dutch national team for the second time, and he couldn't wait to introduce Advocaat as his assistant again.

Then Michels did not perform well, Advocaat made a shot at a critical moment, leading the Netherlands to the World Cup finals in 94, and later led the team to the quarter-finals in the World Cup finals, and then coached Eindhoven , is considered to be the driving force behind PSV Eindhoven's glory in recent years, and he also performed very well at Rangers.

It is this series of past records that made Korner always regard Ed Vokat as one of the most ideal candidates for Ajax's coaching position, especially the Dutch coach who replaced the inexperienced Ye Qiu. What can I say?
Advocaat is a very stable person, and he pays great attention to demeanor in private, so he has always appeared in front of outsiders as a self-respecting gentleman, which makes him have a good reputation in the Dutch football circle.

The two met, sat down after a while of courteous manners, ordered food, and Korner began to get down to business.

"Mr. Advocaat, we at Ajax have always admired your coaching ability very much. You know, in the past two or three years, Ajax has encountered unprecedented turmoil and troughs, which makes us A group of management and fans are disappointed, and we all desperately hope to change the current situation."

It has to be said that Korner is a lawyer after all, and his eloquence is undeniable, especially when matched with his expression, it is very convincing, and it is easy for people to feel that everything is for Ajax. impression.

"As far as I know, Mr. Korner, Ajax has performed very well this season. Even in the Soviet Super League, I have heard some reporters and some newspapers comment on Ajax, and they all give affirmation. , especially the head coach."

"You mean Ye Qiu?" Keerna didn't like hearing that name.

Advocaat nodded and smiled, "Yes, I heard that he is very young, but he is very capable!"

"He can't compare with you, Mr. Advocaat!" Kornner boasted with a smile: "You are a champion coach and have won many championships, but he has only two Dutch Cups so far. Ajax has expressed concern about his coaching ability, after all, he is too young and needs to be honed!"

Advocaat nodded. He was not very clear about this, because it was related to Ajax's internal affairs. However, he did not deny that the young head coach needed training. After all, Ye Qiu was only 26 years old. Where can I find a Eredivisie giant who led Ajax at the age of 26?
This is not to say that Advocaat has any prejudice against Ye Qiu, but because the job of head coach is different from that of players and other jobs in football. Ability, otherwise, how can a head coach deal with all kinds of problems that arise from dozens of players in a season?

In Advocaat's opinion, no matter how good Ye Qiu is, he is only 26 years old and he is not a professional player. He will definitely lack experience, and even lack professional ability.

How would he know that Ye Qiu's deficiencies in these aspects have been greatly improved in the past two years with the help of the godfather's cultivation system. Perhaps for a top European head coach, there is still something to be desired. It is not enough, but coaching Ajax is at least qualified, and he has always been working hard to improve himself.

You must know that the learning room of the godfather cultivation system and those sold in the store are basically the essence of each head coach's life experience. Ye Qiu can see these, understand and study them, and have a great impact on his ability. Progress is of great help.

From a purely tactical point of view, Ye Qiu would not necessarily lose to Edvocaat.

"I wonder if Mr. Advocaat has ever thought about coming back to the Netherlands to coach?" Kerner asked with concern.

Advocaat didn't deny it either, and nodded, "Returning to the Netherlands is indeed a huge attraction for me."

In recent years, the Eredivisie league can be said to be full of newcomers, including Dutch rookies such as van Marwijk and Koeman, foreign coaches such as Ye Qiu and Gretz, plus a few such as Advocaat and Guus Hiddink. Several head coaches who have already made their name in the Netherlands are eager to prove themselves on a wider stage, so they have never returned to China.

But this does not mean that Dutch football is not attractive to them. On the contrary, one of the important reasons why they did not come back is that their vision is too high. Can make them tempted?

"Are you interested in coaching Ajax?" After hearing this, Korner was very satisfied with Edvocaat's answer.

"Coach Ajax?" Advocaat was a little surprised.

You know, in Dutch football, Eindhoven and Ajax have become two factions that do not violate the river. No matter how bad the situation is, no matter how much the outside media spreads, Ajax's board of directors has not considered them.

For the same reason, Eindhoven also has the same attitude towards Ajax-born coaches such as Van Gaal, Cruyff, Adrianse, etc., because there is a huge gap between the two clubs' philosophies. disagreement.

Looking at Edvocaat and Guus Hiddink, and Van Gaal, Adrianse, Cruyff and others, it is not difficult to see that the head coaches from the Ajax faction are more inclined to attack, while Eindhoo The head coach who came out of Wen is more conservative, which has caused the head coaches of the two factions to be unconvinced by each other and compete with each other.

But one thing is clear, that is, Ajax will hardly consider the head coach of PSV, and vice versa.

Advocaat was puzzled when Korner called him before, but he still came. Now that he invited him in person, Advocaat was really surprised, but he had to admit that this was an opportunity.

It was successful, and his status in Dutch football has been greatly improved.

For Korner, it is not necessarily impossible for Advocaat to enter the Arena, because Advocaat is regarded as a direct disciple of Michels, who has twice played in the Dutch national team , invited him as an assistant twice, if this is used to convince Ajax fans, it may not be impossible.

But what is certain is that if Advocaat enters Ajax and breaks the confrontation between the Ajax faction and the Eindhoven faction, then Ajax will definitely be ridiculed by Eindhoven .

However, Korner, who is not very familiar with football, obviously didn't think about this, he only cared about his interests!

…………

…………

For some unknown reason, the scene where Korner met with Advocaat was filmed by reporters in The Hague, the Netherlands, and it appeared on the headlines of major newspapers in the Netherlands the next day, and all the reporters and media They all paid attention.

"The little general enters the Arena?"

"Ajax's new coach - Advocaat!"

"The direct descendants of Eindhoven captured Amsterdam!"

There is no doubt that the last headline must come from the report of the Eindhoven Daily, but it is conceivable that the whole of the Netherlands was surprised by this meeting. Is Ajax really planning to invite Advocaat to coach ?

"If Advocaat is really in the Arena, it should be the first time that a coach who has coached Eindhoven has coached Ajax since PSV and Ajax. , This is bound to arouse the indignation and resistance of Ajax's traditional fans, because Ajax does not need people from Eindhoven to save them!"

"In fact, judging from this season, Ajax's performance is not bad, it can even be said to be amazing. The performance of Ye Qiu's team has brought great surprises, especially in the second half. Strange, why would the management of the club resolutely choose to change coaches when the team is facing a major transformation?"

"Changing coaches means overthrowing and starting over. Advocaat will inevitably bring in some of his own players, and what will happen to the group of young but extraordinary young players left behind by Ye Qiu?"

Schulde Mosso, a well-known reporter from the Kyodo Daily, also personally wrote an article, "If the Ajax management really abandons Ye Qiu and chooses Advocaat, then I think it is Ajax's tenth Biggest mistake made in years, bound to become one of the dumbest decisions in Ajax history!"

"Let's take a look at the affirmation of Ajax's performance by major European mainstream media this season. Even the World Sports Daily, which claims to be the mouthpiece of Barcelona, ​​has affirmed Ye Qiu's Ajax. They think Ferrer We should be careful with this young Chinese, but in Amsterdam, we don't trust our head coach at all!"

"I am very sorry about this. It is reported that this is the decision of the board of directors itself and does not represent the management. Then I can't help being even more curious. Is the club managed by the board of directors or the office of the Arenal Stadium?"

"Two years ago, we made a mistake and fired Olsen. After that, the team encountered the lowest point in decades. In this bleak situation, Ye Qiu's second team became everyone's hope, and he In the end, he also led the team to win the Dutch Cup, which proves that although he is young, he is a head coach worthy of everyone's trust!"

"This season his team firmly occupied the second place in the league, and even almost pushed the champion Eindhoven off the throne, won the Dutch Cup, reached the UEFA Cup final, I don't know why, when Aja Ajax's ambitions have become so big, and such an honor can't satisfy Ajax?"

"If it is, then there must be something wrong with Ajax. If not, then we can't help but ask, why did it become like this? And we should all know that when a manager is still in office , secretly contacting other coaches, this is a humiliation to the current coach!"

"Perhaps, it's time for all Ajax people to reflect on themselves!"

Ye Qiu, who was concentrating on preparing for the battle in Amsterdam, also received the news immediately. It was the news from Eliza.

"At this time we have to fight back!" Ye Qiu had had enough of those bastard directors, he decided to fight back!
Eliza also supported his decision, "But at the moment, you have to concentrate on preparing for the UEFA Cup. Leave this matter to me. You stabilize the team. Winning this championship is more important than anything else. As for the counterattack, don't worry. ,give it to me!"

Elisa is now more and more experienced in dealing with this kind of thing. She knows very well that Ajax's military morale cannot be disturbed at present. To stabilize the morale of the army.

And Ye Qiu is not suitable to come forward, because as soon as he comes forward, the words are dead, and there is no way out, so the most ideal is for the manager to come forward and let her fight back on behalf of Ye Qiu.

At noon that day, Eliza accepted a telephone interview from a reporter from the Amsterdam Evening Post.

"I am very angry about Ajax's private contact with Advocaat, which is a huge insult to Mr. Ye Qiu, because he has not left the position of Ajax head coach. We find it difficult to accept his behavior, and I believe Mr. Ye Qiu is the same, we will start to consider terminating the three-year contract with Ajax early!"

At the same time, Eliza also said in an interview that Ye Qiu did not lack interested teams.

"I find it difficult to understand the remarks that many people think that Ye Qiu is young and lacks coaching experience. At least at present, we have no shortage of interested teams, including big-name teams such as Valencia in La Liga, and other teams in La Liga. Teams, and even several teams in the Premier League, are all interested in Mr. Ye Qiu."

"I understand Mr. Ye Qiu's feelings for Ajax. He has devoted a lot of effort to this team in the past two years, and the results are obvious to all, but it is obvious that he is here. He has not received the respect he deserves, which disappoints him, and we will seriously reconsider our future options after the end of the season!"

What Eliza said on the phone immediately caused an uproar in Amsterdam.

It's no secret that Ye Qiu has attracted the attention of other teams. There have been rumors that Villarreal, a downstream team in La Liga, is interested in Ye Qiu, as well as Manchester City, who have been relegated to the League One this season, and Tottenham in the Premier League. Tottenham, these teams are either dissatisfied with the current results, or want to change their head coach for some reason, and Ye Qiu has become one of their candidates.

Of course, being interested does not necessarily mean that Ye Qiu will be invited to coach, but at the very least, Ye Qiu and Eliza can use it as a bargaining chip, or even a powerful bargaining chip to put pressure on Ajax.

Ye Qiu felt depressed about what happened to him in the past two years. Now he wants to regain some initiative, at least to suppress the vote of the board of directors, who wants to see him leave Ajax in disgrace. and others.

The words from Ye Qiu's agent quickly appeared on the major media websites in the Netherlands, as well as the real-time news of the TV stations, and immediately aroused the reaction of Ajax fans, most of whom were shocked. Disappointed, even angry, at the actions of the club management.

In the eyes of the fans, they were dissatisfied with Ye Qiu at the beginning of the season, but as the season progressed and the achievements the team had made so far, they completely changed their view of Ye Qiu and his team. Now he began to believe that Ajax could be revived under Ye Qiu's hands, just like Van Gaal back then.

But when the fans rekindled hope, the board of directors made such a thing. The disappointment and even anger of the fans can be imagined. They are very clear that the club is sorry for Ye Qiu in this matter. of.

The UEFA Cup final is just around the corner, but such news broke out at such a time. Calling Korner a troublemaker is an understatement. If it is serious, he can even be called a traitor and a spy for Barcelona.

In the questionnaire survey of the Amsterdam Corriere Post, except for a very small number of extreme fans, all other fans were dissatisfied with the club's actions and believed that Ye Qiu should be retained. After the news, he was interviewed for the first time and clarified that Korner's move was a personal act and did not represent the decision of Ajax management.

In the interview, Van Prager was also dissatisfied with the outrageous words and deeds of some directors, and believed that the team should make power adjustments at an appropriate time.

"I think it's time for Ajax to return to football!"
