The Godfather of Football

After leaving the hotel, Ye Qiu felt very strange because Eliza was laughing all the way.

When she got in the car, she laughed while driving, and hummed along with the music in the car, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Please, I just offended one of your suitors, aren't you angry?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Eliza laughed, "I have so many suitors, I don't care about this self-righteous old middle-aged man, why should I be angry?"

"But, I offended him, I might lose my job!" Ye Qiu said with a bitter face.

"If you lose your job, you lose your job, what's there to be afraid of, at most you can work with me, I will support you!" Eliza was carefree, as if she was supporting a little lover.

Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Please note, Miss Moon, I am the major shareholder of the company!"

He was depressed. How come other people are so high-spirited as bosses, they can sexually harass female employees anytime and anywhere, and there are even a lot of female employees rushing to seduce and hook up, but he, the boss, seems to have no prestige at all.

Eliza laughed immediately after hearing this, "In fact, they can't give you the right to transfer."

Ye Qiu nodded slightly, looked out the window, didn't answer, but acquiesced.

"According to the information I got, the Blue Elephant Fans Club is in debt of more than 70 million euros. In the past few years, Evariste Mutla and others have been paying for the operation of this fan organization. Otherwise, do you think such a large membership organization can continue?"

Eliza directly exposed the truth of the matter, "Also, Javier Rogge is a professional campaign team. Behind him, there are a group of such talents who are advising Laporta, and the reason that prompted these people to support Laporta is potential interests."

For a wealthy team, there are many aspects of interests. Daily operations, entering the management, and holding an idle position with a high salary are just small interests. The real big interest is transfer, which is millions of income every minute.

Just imagine, in the face of such huge interests, how could Laporta and others let go?

Many people say that Gaspart is the greatest vice president in Barcelona's history, but the worst president. There is a very important reason for this, which is that Gaspart himself did not have enough money to participate in the election, so he raised funds everywhere and wrote blank checks. After being elected, he brought in many people who funded him in the past to Barcelona and placed them in various departments and positions with lucrative opportunities.

What happened afterwards was a matter of course. There were too many people and too much smoke, which led to Barcelona's failure.

The better thing about Laporta than Gaspart is that he is smarter, although he is also ridiculous, such as selling club assets, placing his family and friends in Barcelona, ​​using team tickets for personal purposes, and even collecting signing fees as announced by the media.

What's even more absurd is that he once took off all his clothes, even his underwear, in a rage at Madrid Airport because he couldn't pass the security check. Compared with this absurd thing, fighting with a former employee on the street after an argument, using the club's charter plane as a private plane, and hiring private detectives to monitor club employees are all small matters.

But Cruyff's presence still has a good control over Barcelona's competitive field. Coupled with the rise of youth training and the change in team style, these have led to Barcelona's revival during Laporta's period.

But the team's revival at the competitive level does not mean that the club's management is wise. These are two different things!

After figuring this out, Ye Qiu felt a little tired. He didn't like this complex environment with intertwined interests. He liked stability.

Hearing Ye Qiu's sigh, Eliza turned her head to glance at him, and her mood also became uncomfortable.

Joining Barcelona is indeed a great opportunity for Ye Qiu to soar to the sky. After all, it is a wealthy club and the focus of the world's attention. Who doesn't want to be the focus of the world's attention?

"Do you regret offending Evariste Mutla?" Elisa asked.

Ye Qiu was stunned, then laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about? You must remember that between you and taking charge of Barcelona, ​​I will always choose you!" This was said with great determination.

Eliza tightened her hands around the steering wheel, glanced at Ye Qiu again, and smiled reluctantly, "Becoming the best head coach in the world, hasn't this always been your dream?"

Ye Qiu laughed, "Haven't you heard of it? Dreams are like onions. When we peel them layer by layer, we always cry while we are happy."

After a pause, Ye Qiu sighed, "Although I really want to fulfill my dream, that doesn't mean I have to give up something that I think is very important, because for me, crying while we are happy is not the dream I want."

After hearing this, Eliza curled her lips and muttered, "I always thought that for you, your family and A-Chu are the most important."

"You are also very important to us, our best friend and best partner. Don't underestimate yourself too much. Give yourself more confidence, beautiful Miss Moon!" Ye Qiu smiled and patted her shoulder with a mature smile.

"Get lost!" She smiled and shrugged to get rid of his clutches.

Ye Qiu did not go home, but went directly to the Arena Stadium.

There are still tens of thousands of Ajax fans gathered here. I heard that during the morning celebration, more than 100,000 Ajax fans came to Arena Plaza to celebrate the team’s triple crown. It has surpassed all records set by Ajax in the past, and I believe it will be difficult to break again in the future.

Ye Qiu did not attend the team's celebration ceremony. This time he returned to Arena Stadium and chose to keep a low profile. He entered the office building through the back door and went directly to Van Praag's office to submit his resignation letter.

"You handed it over once and I kept it for you. This time, I agreed!" Van Praag looked a little sad.

Why didn't Ye Qiu feel sad?

"Have you decided which club to go to?" Van Praag asked with concern.

There are many teams interested in Ye Qiu now. According to Van Praag himself, there are at least five teams that have invited Ye Qiu. All of them are mid-to-upper-tier teams in the four major European leagues. Among them Some teams still have contracts with their head coaches, but promise that once Ye Qiu agrees, they will immediately terminate the contract with the current head coach. This shows Ye Qiu's current popularity.

Ye Qiu shook his head, "I just met one of Barcelona's candidates, Laporta, but the negotiation fell apart!"

Van Praag listened and nodded, "Wealthy teams are very complicated, especially for member-only clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona. The water here is very deep. There may be a sentence you may not hear. Go in, but I still feel that you are not suitable for such a team for the time being.”

There are countless famous coaches who have died on the platform of wealthy teams. Many of them were very prosperous before joining the wealthy teams, but after joining the wealthy clubs, their performance was sluggish, and they were later fired by the wealthy clubs, which caused their popularity to plummet. Some even quit the mainstream of European football. Out of sight, bidding farewell to the mainstream European leagues.

Ye Qiu has now finally established a certain degree of fame and prestige. He needs to further consolidate his status and influence. It is too risky to go to a wealthy family now. One bad move may make him unable to recover.

Van Praag had no doubts about Ye Qiu's strength. He was worried about the complex environment and interpersonal relationships of wealthy families.

Coaching a wealthy team always depends on not only coaching ability and management level, but also many other aspects.

Sometimes, things in the world are like this, and risks and rewards are always directly proportional.

"I'll think about it carefully!" Ye Qiu nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, they talked about some things. Ye Qiu invited Van Praag to take Bobby Harms and the players to his wedding, and Van Praag agreed wholeheartedly.

Finally, Ye Qiu submitted a farewell letter, which he hoped would be posted on the team's official website tomorrow, and then took his leave.

After walking out of Arenal Stadium, Eliza waited for him in her Audi TT. After getting in the car, Ye Qiu often looked back at this familiar stadium. He knew every corner here because he was here. Been here for four years.

"Coming to Ajax, I have always believed that this is a gift from God, giving me the opportunity to realize my dream, so I have always been very grateful to Ajax. Fans, thank you to Chairman Van Praag, thank you to Bobby Harms, thank you to everyone, all the players and staff."

"In the past four years, you have always given me support and encouragement. You have helped me transform from an ignorant young man who knew nothing about professional football to a qualified head coach today. There are really no words to express my gratitude to Ajax and to each and every one of you.”

"In the past four years, we have fought side by side, we have cried together, we have laughed together, I am the same as all of you, it is just that each of us is in a different position, but our feelings for the club, for this team are In the same way, we will laugh because of his victory and cry because of his failure.”

"In the past four years, I have been able to feel the trust from the management, the respect from the players, and the love from the fans every day. I can feel your support all the time. This will keep me going even until the day I die. I will still be moved by this moment and I will never forget it in my life!”

"Leaving is a very difficult decision. I don't know if you can accept it, but please don't think that I will leave you. No, I will never leave. No matter where I go, no matter where I go, even if One day in the future, we will become enemies on the court. All the Ajax fans that I love, please believe that I will always be your supporter and an Ajax fan!”

"Good luck to everyone and come on Ajax!"

As the car slowly walked along the road between Arena Stadium and Detok Most, Ye Qiu looked around at the two familiar buildings on the left and right sides, and his mind flashed across his mind. That farewell letter was a confession from the bottom of his heart. It may seem a bit fake in the eyes of many people, but it is definitely true!

He may not be a very nostalgic person, but he will always remember Ajax and the time he spent in Amsterdam.

However, starting from today, he will say goodbye to Ajax!

…………

…………

When the whole city of Amsterdam was still immersed in the joy of winning the treble, Ajax's official website and many media such as Amsterdam Evening Post and Common Daily News simultaneously published the news that Ye Qiu had left Ajax, and also published the farewell letter that Ye Qiu wrote to Ajax players, staff and fans.

This almost drove the whole city of Amsterdam crazy. All Ajax fans saw such news early in the morning. They were all puzzled, surprised, and unacceptable. Why did he leave?

Ye Qiu didn't say it, but they could all imagine it.

As Van Praag said on the official website, "Although Ye Qiu has only stayed in Ajax for four years, he has brought great changes to all Ajax people. He has made us see the direction of progress again on the confused road, and he has also made us reach the top of Europe again."

"Now, it is difficult for us to describe the changes that Ye Qiu has brought to us, and it is difficult to understand Ye Qiu's value to Ajax, but we have every reason to believe that even many, many years later, all Ajax fans will definitely remember him and remember everything he has brought us in the past four years."

"Let us wish him good luck and hope that he can realize his dream in the future. I wish him to perform better on a higher and broader stage!"

Schulde Mosso of the Common Daily commented in his column that Ye Qiu's choice to leave Ajax at this moment is a very wise choice, whether it is for Ajax or for himself, it is very rational.

"Sometimes, separation is not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, separation may be a good thing."

"For Ajax now, Ye Qiu's stay may not be a good thing. On the contrary, it may hinder the team's further adjustment. For Ye Qiu, it is difficult for him to reproduce the peak passion of this season if he stays in Ajax. Leaving to seek new challenges is the way for him to continuously improve his coaching level."

"It is undoubtedly the most appropriate ending to part ways in peace. We believe that Ye Qiu has left Ajax. No matter where he goes, all Ajax fans will always support him, and he will definitely have the opportunity to reproduce today's glory; and as Chairman Van Praag said, losing Ye Qiu is a huge loss, but Van Basten will definitely be able to shoulder the burden of the club well."

This is also the candidate recommended by Ye Qiu and Van Praag. He believes that Van Basten will be a good successor, and he is also a direct descendant of Ajax, a legendary figure in the hearts of fans, and has been Ye Qiu's assistant for several years. Such a former superstar is indeed the most suitable candidate to take over Ajax.

The news of Ye Qiu leaving Ajax quickly spread throughout Europe and even the world. Everyone was surprised by the news, but they also felt it was reasonable.

The news about Ye Qiu leaving is no longer news. Many media have hyped it up before, believing that Ye Qiu will definitely leave Ajax this summer. The difference is that everyone is guessing where Ye Qiu will end up.

The Serie A media broke the news that Inter Milan will change coaches this summer. Cooper will leave, Moratti will appoint Ye Qiu to take over the Nerazzurri, and offer a transfer fee of 50 million euros for Ye Qiu to use to strengthen the team's three lines.

But soon, the Bundesliga also came out. Bayern Munich also wanted to get this new European football star. Ye Qiu's ability to adjust young players is in line with the current trend of the Bundesliga's youth. Bayern Munich also attaches great importance to Ye Qiu's outstanding performance in cup competitions, especially the European Cup.

Beckenbauer said in an interview that Ye Qiu is a very good tactical expert, emphasizing that the overall tactical style is very close to that of Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich is now ambitious and wants to reproduce the glory of the previous few years, so he believes that Ye Qiu will definitely be able to recreate glory in Bayern.

But soon the media broke the news that Beckenbauer's private remarks could not represent the Bayern management, because although Hitzfeld's performance in the Champions League last season was not satisfactory, he won the Bundesliga championship, and Bayern's top management still hoped to keep this iron coach.

In La Liga, Real Madrid announced the dismissal of head coach Bosque on the day the team won the championship, and announced that the club would no longer renew the contract with captain Hierro. This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue and shook the world of football. When Real Madrid general manager Valdano announced this news, he also commented on Ye Qiu in an interview with reporters.

"He is very young, but he has excellent coaching ability, and his coaching style is very close to what we pursue."

Although Valdano did not make it clear that Real Madrid hopes to invite Ye Qiu to coach, everyone can see that Real Madrid is still very interested in Ye Qiu. The media even broke the news that Florentino's first choice was Ye Qiu.

As for Barcelona, ​​both presidential candidates played the Ye Qiu card. Basat said that once he took office, Ye Qiu would be the team's head coach and Guardiola would serve as a technical consultant. He believed that with the cooperation of these two people, Barcelona would usher in a revival and get out of the shadows.

But at the same time, Laporta also shouted out his own campaign chips, that is, Ye Qiu will be the head coach and introduce superstar Beckham. Once these two trump cards were thrown out, the entire European transfer market exploded. This is undoubtedly the hottest and explosive news this summer.

Compared with the excitement of the other three major leagues, the two giants of the Premier League, Manchester United and Arsenal, seem to be relatively deserted. Ferguson and Wenger are stable in their positions and there are no disturbances. On the contrary, Chelsea, which won the fourth place in the Premier League last season, announced a change of ownership in this trend.

Bates announced that Abramovich from Russia completed the acquisition of Chelsea for 140 million euros. The latter will not only get control of Chelsea, but also assume Chelsea's debts.

At the same time as this acquisition storm, an insider broke the news that the Russian super-rich Abramovich threatened to dig Ye Qiu to Stamford Bridge at all costs.

For a time, the whole of Europe and even the world football scene was in turmoil, and Ye Qiu was undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus of this storm. His every move and even every word he said attracted the attention of media and fans all over the world.
