After playing Eindhoven, Ajax welcomed Ronald Koeman's Twente.

In the first half, Koeman's team performed better and once broke Ajax's goal and gained a lead. However, in the second half, Ye Qiu adjusted the team's tactics and finally reversed Twente 3:1 with three goals from Van der Mead, Hunteral and Yaya Toure.

On the weekend, Ajax challenged Denbos away. Although Denbos performed poorly this season and is currently in the quagmire of relegation, this team still brought huge trouble to Ajax, who was not very good at physical fitness and condition at home. In the end, Hunterlaer's goal helped Ajax defeat the team 1-0.

Three days later, Ajax welcomed Bayern Munich.

After more than three months, we met again. Bayern Munich is no longer the Bayern team that was in a state of adjustment at the beginning of the season.

Although Ye Qiu's team has been rotated, Bayern is obviously more experienced. Heathfield has adjusted the players' form better, which has led to their control over the advantage of the game for most of the time at Arena Stadium.

But the final score was 1:1. Bayern Munich drew with Ajax away with Elber's goal in the second half.

The home team's goal came from the 7th minute of the first half. After Belarusian young player Hleb passed the man skillfully on the left, he passed the penalty area directly. Ibrahimovic took the ball back with his back and knocked it back to Van der Fate, who hit the left-footed arc ball.

In this way, after two rounds of Group A, Manchester United defeated Boavista 3-0 in the second leg at Old Trafford Stadium, and finally ranked first in the group with 1 win, 1 draw, 4 goals and 1 goal, while Ajax also won and tied, ranking second in the group, Bayern Munich ranked third in the group with two draws, while Boavista did not get the points at the bottom.

By the way, after playing this game with Bayern Munich, Hleb took the initiative to find Ye Qiu, and the two sides had an in-depth conversation. Ye Qiu was very satisfied with Hleb's attitude, and was also pleased with his recent condition, encouraging the Belarusians to continue to work hard and strive for better performance.

After playing Bayern Munich, the team welcomed Wittes at Arena Stadium.

The biggest winner of this game is Van der Fate.

The Dutch genius who just saved the team with a goal at Arena Stadium has shown outstanding performance recently.

As soon as the game started, he played very active on the right. In addition, Sneider, who had returned from injury, kept sending shells behind him, which made him start the first record for Ajax just 12 minutes into the game.

But less than 5 minutes after Van der Fate scored, Witts used a partner mistake between Kloe Toure and Heatinga on the Ajax defense line to tie the score.

But soon, in the 25th minute, Van der Fate once again cut in the right and shot, piercing through Vetes' goal again, surpassing the score again. In the 29th minute, he broke through on the right and passed to Keita, who passed directly behind him. Heleb dribbled the ball from the left and made a cross. Huntral scored a point in front of the goal, 3:1.

In the 47th minute, Gilberto Silva took advantage of a set piece in the frontcourt and scored a long-range free kick from Sneider into Witts' goal, rewriting the score to 4:1.

After consecutive goals, Ajax looked very motivated, especially Van der Fate. After the young player scored twice, his condition was still not satisfied. The goal was still very strong. He even took the initiative to ask Ye Qiu to play the whole game in the second half during the break.

Finally, in the 72nd minute, Van der Fate forced forward from Macon to knock back, penetrated into the penalty area and drifted past Waiters' central defender, shot low with his left foot, and scored a hat trick. This was also Van der Fate's first hat trick in his life.

In a 5:1 victory over Wits, Ajax showed an overwhelming strength advantage in this game. Although everyone could see that Ajax was not in the best condition, he still defeated his opponent with his overall strong strength and won a big victory, which also gave everyone a deeper understanding of Ajax.

Witts is not a weak team. This team is currently ranked fourth in the Eredivisie, second only to Ajax, Feyenoord and Eindhoven. They have the same points as Helenfen, but Ajax, who is in poor form, can defeat his opponent 5:1, which shows that Ajax's overall strength has steadily surpassed his opponent.

But when Ye Qiu was interviewed by the media after the game, he repeatedly said that Ajax's big victory was somewhat lucky.

Since Eindhoven and Feyenoord also won big in this round, many professionals believe that the strength of the Eredivisie this season is very different. The traditional three leaders led by Ajax, Feyenoord and Eindhoven have obvious overall strength advantages. Although the score difference is not large, it is more caused by the powerful people's multi-line combat.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Eredivisie champion this season will be born among these three teams, and Ajax is undoubtedly the biggest favorite!"

On December 12, Ajax welcomed Rosendal of the Dutch League at home.

Ye Qiu originally wanted to use this game to adjust the player's condition, but unexpectedly, Rosendal turned around and Ajax, who was tired from playing at the beginning of the game, was caught off guard.

It is difficult to break the clay pot from the well, and the general will inevitably die in the battle.

Cup matches have always been a hotbed for unpopularity. Ye Qiu led Ajax II to create miracles before, which also made many Dutch head coaches pay attention to the Dutch Cup, hoping to make themselves famous and become Ye Qiu II through the Cup match.

It should be said that Rosendal almost succeeded. They took a 2:1 lead in the first half, but they couldn't tell the situation clearly in the second half, and blindly continued to stick to the tactical style of the first half, instead of following the situation and adopting a more conservative defensive tactic. Otherwise, the tired Ajax would definitely be dragged to death.

But in the end, Ajax reversed Rosendal 3:2 with goals from Robben and Van der Mede who came on the bench and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of 16 from the Dutch Cup. This time Ajax encountered Groningen of the Eredivisie, an old enemy, and the game time was after the winter break.

Three days later, Ajax came to Kkrad in the southern Netherlands and challenged Roda JC at the Limburg Park Stadium. Although Ajax scored first, Roda JC was more physically fit. He used a counterattack in the second half to equalize the score and finally tied the game 1:1.

In another focus match in this round, Feyenoord drew 0-0 with Eindhoven at home.

With Ajax's lead, Feyenoord and Eindhoven did not want to lose points in such a strong dialogue. Therefore, whether it was Van Marvik or Gretz, they carefully arranged their tactics, not seeking goals, but seeking not to concede goals. Therefore, both sides played a bad game at the Dekuyip Stadium.

But no one expected that a week later, Eindhoven defeated Groningen 8-0 at his home court.

Although Gretz's double tower combination did not show its power in this game, Swedish midfielder Voger scored a hat-trick. In addition, players such as Oye, Boma, Romerdal, and Van Bomer scored few goals on weekdays and even did not score goals. All of them started.

Feyenoord, who ranked second in the league, also defeated his opponent 5-0.

Ye Qiu's team escaped two crises. After a week of rest, everyone originally thought that Ajax would perform better in the last game before the winter break. After all, the most difficult schedule has been overcome, and Ajax also performed very well in the intensive schedule.

But no one expected that in the last game against Utrecht, Ajax was in a sluggish overall condition and was beaten by Utrecht 2:1. Ye Qiu's team ended up with a loss and ended all the events of the whole first half of the season.

In this way, Feyenoord successfully grabbed Ajax's lead by 3 points this time, while Eindhoven was 4 points behind Ajax. The battle for the league championship still looks very suspense.

According to the Eredivisie schedule, the 20th round will start on January 27, so the training camp for Ajax will also start in mid-January, and the two-week winter break training camp will be arranged in Spain's Mallorca Island.

After ending this intensive schedule, Ye Qiu can finally take a break. Regardless of the winning or losing of the game, he can only relax a little until now. At least from now on, for three weeks, he doesn't need to worry about the next day's training and competition. He can truly relax.

What's even more rare is that Huang Chu can finally take a holiday and return to his home in Amsterdam, and the two foodies, he and Eliza, can finally taste Huang Chu's craftsmanship again.

But at this moment, an invitation letter was delivered from Zurich to Ye Qiu in Amsterdam.

…………

…………

The invitation letter itself is nothing special, but the obvious FIFA logo is engraved on the coat, and it is not light in the weight. It seems that it was specially created by UEFA and must be for special guests.

"I heard that all the shortlisted candidates will receive such invitations, while the other guests are of different styles." Eliza is knowledgeable and doesn't even know about Ye Qiu, but she is very evident.

"First-in-place? Coach?" Huang Chu sat next to Ye Qiu, holding his hand, his love as deep as honey was beyond words.

"It should be!" Eliza replied.

Ye Qiu was not very surprised. As early as the beginning of the season, he was shortlisted for UEFA's list of best coaches for the season, but he eventually lost to Heathfield. European football has always been the center of world football, so it is not surprising that he was shortlisted for the best coach of the year again.

"Can you win the award?" Huang Chu looked at Ye Qiu with concern. If she asked her to choose, she would definitely choose Ye Qiu.

"It's probably a big deal!" Ye Qiu was mentally prepared. The only thing he could do was the League Cup championship. However, Heathfield had the European Championship in hand and then won the Toyota Cup. Although Ye Qiu gathered together with the Eredivisie, League Cup, Dutch Cup, Dutch Cruyff Cup, and European Super Cup championship, many people nicknamed it as the five champions, but in fact, Ye Qiu knew exactly how much these five champions were.

The Eredivisie championship itself has no weight for FIFA, because the Eredivisie is only a second-rate league in Europe. As for the Dutch Cup and the Cruyff Cup, let alone the events played by the Netherlands at home can still go to Europe and the world football?

The only ones that are more outstanding are the League Cup and the European Super Cup, but the competition is also fierce. Needless to say, Capello's Roma won the championship last season and is now very popular. Bianchi's Boca youth won the South American Liberators Cup, while Hollier won the FA Cup, League Cup and Charity Shield Cup. In addition, Ferguson and Serie A dark horse Chevo's head coach Del Neri are all strong competitors.

Nowadays, Serie A is the world's number one league, so Capello and Dernell both have a lot of momentum. As for Ye Qiu... I won't talk about it anymore.

"Maybe there's a chance to be upset!" Eliza said jokingly.

Huang Chu smiled and held Ye Qiu's hand tighter, "Anyway, no matter whether you take it or not, it's the best!"

Ye Qiu nodded, but sighed again, "I can't win the prize, but I still have to give them face. It's really a bad feeling to see others win the prize!"

As for the award, there is always only one, and most people can only lose regretfully. Only that lucky person can laugh to the end. Ye Qiu has long been used to this cruel competition, but he always feels a little uncomfortable.

The so-called head coach of the year has set up two awards in total, namely the head coach of the year and the head coach of the year. As the name suggests, the former is aimed at club events and the latter is aimed at national team events. The head coach of the Chinese national team Milutinovic was also shortlisted for the shortlist for the head coach of the national team this time.

However, Milu's chance of winning the prize is very low, because his competitors include Argentina's national team head coach Bielsa, England's national team head coach Eriksen, and France's national team head coach Le Maire, all of which are team head coaches who performed well in the World Cup qualifiers.

Relatively speaking, the possibility of Milutinovic winning the best national team head coach is far lower than the probability of Ye Qiu winning the best club head coach of the year. At least Ye Qiu winning the heavyweight championship trophy like the League Cup.

"By the way, I heard that a female companion is needed for such a ceremony!" Ye Qiu frowned and looked at Huang Chu as he said.

The latter immediately shook his head hard, "Don't look for me, I won't go if I beat you to death this time. I would rather sleep at home and read books."

Seeing Huang Chu like this, Eliza couldn't help but giggle. Huang Chu never likes such occasions. If she really chooses for her, she must choose to read books at home or go to movies.

I still remember that the only time she accompanied Ye Qiu to such an occasion, it should be traced back to when Ye Qiu led the second team to win the Dutch Cup championship, but that time was because of the previous agreement to encourage Ye Qiu, she was unable to lose her life and death, and she was finally pulled by Eliza.

Nowadays, there are more and more such occasions. Ye Qiu has gone there by himself, but in some occasions, he really can't go there alone, so Ye Qiu always brings Eliza as his female companion, which was suggested by Huang Chu.

The three of them live together, and they are not very different at ages. They have a good relationship with each other and always get together, so they don’t have any complicated random thoughts. Besides, Huang Chu and Eliza are good sisters, so she is very relieved about Ye Qiu and Eliza.

"Let Eliza accompany you!" Huang Chu made such a proposal again.

Ye Qiu and Eliza looked at each other, and saw the jokes in each other's eyes. They immediately laughed. Huang Chu felt a little embarrassed, and then he twisted Ye Qiu's waist fiercely, making him grin in pain.

"If you want to go, you have to prepare your clothes quickly." Huang Chu quickly changed the subject.

Eliza nodded, "Leave this matter to me!"

Ye Qiu was still very relieved about Eliza, but he suddenly thought that around Christmas, weren’t they worried about having no place to go?

"Why, let's just go skiing in Switzerland?"

"This is a good idea, go skiing!" Eliza was the most excited.

"Can you slip?" Huang Chu glanced at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu lowered his head, shook it left and right, and said depressedly: "No!"

"Then Eliza and I will only meet you, just watch it!" Huang Chu finally found Ye Qiu's weakness.

Both of my best friends were obviously very moved by Ye Qiu's proposal. When they talked about going skiing, they were like the river water that opened the gate, surging and endlessly talking, from skiing tools, to Swiss weather, and to which ski resort to go, they even considered food and accommodation.

Ye Qiu was left aside and could only smile bitterly because he had no experience in skiing. However, he felt that skiing should not be difficult. His own sports cells are quite developed, so he should learn it soon, right?

However, if you decide to go to Switzerland to ski, you may not be able to return home. After all, Ajax's winter break training camp this season is earlier than before, and Huang Chu will start work not long after Christmas, so they finally discussed it and finally decided not to go back.

Originally, Ye Qiu thought that Europeans attached great importance to the concept of family reunion on Christmas, but unexpectedly, Eliza planned not to go home. Originally, Ye Qiu and her two were going to Switzerland after she went home for Christmas, but she said she did not plan to go home for Christmas, which surprised Ye Qiu and Huang Chu.

Because they had been together for two years, they all found that Eliza had never returned home. She lived in Amsterdam and had no family to come to see her. She had never heard her mention her family. Whenever she talked about her family, she would quickly change the topic.

This made Ye Qiu and Huang Chu think that Eliza probably has no family anymore, so she never talked about this topic.
Chapter completed!
