Frank Arnesen has been in a bad mood recently because he has a feeling that his entire control over Eindhoven is about to pass, and his influence on the club has been weakened and curbed with Gretz's dismissal.

This is inevitable, because his performance in the past few years has indeed been unsatisfactory.

Sometimes it is like this. Whether a thing is good or not often depends on whether it is practical or whether it has its due value, but on comparison. Why so many people like to pursue cost-effectiveness when buying things is a comparison itself.

If Ajax had not made great progress in the past two years, Aneson's Eindhoven did have performed very well. As the general manager of the club, the team he created was second to none in the Eredivisie, but the problem is that with Zhu Yu like Ajax, Aneson became a mess inside and outside.

The Eredivisie champion could not resist the shame of being eliminated by Ye Qiu, and could not cover up Eindhoven's embarrassing record of not winning against Ye, and even more so, as a mortal enemy team that was crushed by himself in the past, Ajax's amazing strength in the European arena for two consecutive years.

Eindhoven has been stagnant in the past two years, but Ajax has made rapid progress and was left behind. This is conceivable, but Aneson also has his own difficulties, that is, he needs more money.

Only a part of the income from selling Fanny's is used to strengthen the team's strength, and the increasingly stingy board of directors has begun to pursue the so-called cost-effectiveness. They always hope that Aneson can buy those cheap and talented stars. How is this possible? How can there be so many Ronaldo in the world for you to choose?

But the directors were not happy and always said, "Look at the head coach of Ajax, the Chinese spent a little money to build such a powerful team for Ajax, the League Cup champion and the European Champions League semi-finals. Look, the team's value has increased by more than ten times now."

Compared with Ye Qiu's performance in Ajax, Anesen's two years in Eindhoven have been really bad. It is reported that when the board of directors discussed the candidate for the coach in the new season, it had considered forcing Ye Qiu from Ajax to force him to dig Ye Qiu, but in the end the matter was left unresolved. It is said that Anesen fought hard to eventually avoid his mortal enemy taking over Eindhoven.

But there is one thing that has never changed, that is, Aneson must hand over more power.

After the World Cup, Hindink became famous for a while and had become the No. 1 coach in the Netherlands. Eindhoven's board of directors regarded him as the team's first choice for the team's head coach in the new season. So as soon as the World Cup ended, Aneson immediately flew to South Korea and had face-to-face negotiations with Hindink.

"No matter what the conditions are, you must sign Hiddink!"

There is no doubt that asking Aneson to talk and give him such an order is already a very obvious hint in itself.

As the most outstanding and successful head coach in Eindhoven's history and the only godfather coach who won the European Championship for Eindhoven, Hiddink's qualifications are older than Aneson, who is the junior in front of Hiddink.

Even if Aneson has been in Eindhoven for the past few years, he has to hold his tail up in front of Hiddink.

"I heard that a bookmaker has recently made bets. The biggest hottest thing is Eindhoven. What happened to Ajax?" Hiddink just finished his weekly vacation. In the past week, he had not received even a little information or information related to football, but it was just a vacation.

"Ajax sold two players in the transfer this summer, namely Sedu Keita and Gilberto Silva, both of whom are the main cores of Ajax midfield in the past two seasons." Aneson replied, but the Danes were obviously dissatisfied with Hiddink's tone of asking their subordinates, but they did not have an attack and did not dare to do it.

"Sell the head of the company..." Hiddink frowned, "...that Chinese man, named Ye Qiu, did he finalize these two transfers? How much does the transfer fee?"

"It was he who personally supervised it. Arsenal spent 17.5 million euros to get Gilberto Silva, while Barcelona got Sedo Keita in exchange for 10 million players."

After hearing this, Hiddink was stunned at first, then smiled, "It's really not cheap!"

It can be said that it is a big deal to introduce a midfielder of 17.5 million euros. Even if the player has proved his strength in Europe, he has made a name for himself, and he is still the main international player who finally topped the top and won the championship in the just-concluded World Cup. This is still a very low price.

As for 10 million players who get Sedo Keita, the price is not low, but relatively speaking, Gilberto Silva's price is higher, but it's not unreasonable that it's not impossible to understand. Perhaps Wenger is eager to get this player.

"It's not cheap, but after selling the core of the company, Ajax is now facing the problem of a midfield vacancy." Aneson sneered a little gloatingly. The enemy's bad luck is his own luck, and he has always been like this.

"Oh?" Hiddink was stunned.

"I heard that Ye Qiu gave Ajax a list of signings, which included a total of six players. Gerard decided to stay in Barcelona, ​​Dela Pena switched to Espanyol, Cambiaso returned to Real Madrid, Deco renewed his contract with Porto, Rafael Marquez publicly stated that he was not interested in Ajax, and the last candidate was Max Senna, who went to Villarrell. Now Ajax is feeling headaches and troubled about his midfield signings."

After the introduction, Aneson did not forget to bring a gloating smile. He obviously wanted to see Ajax and Ye Qiu's miserable appearance. He believed that it would definitely make him feel extremely happy and comfortable.

Hiddink felt a little surprised after hearing what Aneson said. Among the players Ajax liked, some of them had heard of names, such as Hrad and Dela Pena, who were all from La Liga. Hiddink had been in La Liga for many years and was familiar with them, but there were some who had never even heard of them, such as Deco, Max Senna and Rafal Marquez.

He always feels that from these people, Ye Qiu's signings do not seem to be targeted to fill the vacancy of Sedo Keita and Gilberto Silva, because these players are basically different from these two players who left the team.

But he had no idea what was going on.

After thinking for a while, Hiddink decided to put aside all his thoughts and not think about anything.

"Let's go, I'll go to Eindhoven tomorrow to sign with the club!" Hiddink finally made up his mind.

For Hiddink, re-election of the Dutch Eredivisie, it was undoubtedly a risk for Hiddink to take his own honor, but Eindhoven gave enough sincerity, and it was difficult for Hiddink to refuse this invitation.

However, for Hiddink, the Dutch Eredivisie is not completely without any challenges. At least he is very interested in fighting with the head coach Ajax named Ye Qiu.

"Father, was my original decision... wrong?"

In the dormitory of the Riverbed Youth Team Training Base in Buenos Aires, an 18-year-old boy was talking about his uneasiness on the side of the microphone, facing his father on the other side of the microphone.

Because just today, Hephu announced the training list for the first team this summer. Once again, he did not see his name, which made this young man who was confident about his strength and once thought he would soon get a chance in this capital's giants. He had to deeply reflect on whether the decision he made back then was correct.

"Everyone is making different choices all the time in his life. No one can guarantee that every decision he makes in this life is correct, because it is something that God may not be able to do. What we can guarantee is that before making every major decision, we will make decisions that best suit the environment and our own needs."

On the other side of the phone, the father, who was once a well-known professional player in Argentina, was comforting his son. He knew very well that his son was disappointed and disappointed at this moment, and he could also understand his son's confusion and worries about the future.

Now that Argentina's economy is getting worse and worse, living by playing football has become the expectation and dream of more and more parents or young people. It is the same as the principle that they regard Maradona as their idol, but no one can guarantee that they can become professional players.

Just like his own child, after more than ten years of professional training, his academic performance can only be considered average. If he cannot continue playing football, he will only become a hard-working worker, because his academic performance makes it difficult for him to apply for a better university.

"Child, be patient and believe me, the opportunity will definitely come!" The father on the other side of the phone persuaded him in a tempting manner.

It was obvious that the young man's mature sigh was full of maturity that was completely inconsistent with his youth, and at the same time, it was a helpless lack of reality and confusion about his future. "I have been waiting for two years, father."

Since he came to the River Plate Youth Training Camp, he has been waiting patiently for the opportunity. He did not play football in the first team, but he was constantly selected as a national team in Argentina. From the earliest U15 to the later U17, he has always been the main midfielder of these national teams, and he performed very well.

In the World Youth Championship held in Argentina in 2001, the Argentine National Youth Team finally had the last laugh and won the championship. He is the core main force of this team. Saviola, Dalexandro, Maxi Rodriguez, Burdiso and Kolocini are among the others.

Unlike these players who played in the first team early or after performing well in the World Youth Championship, they were important and promoted when they returned to the club. The young man could only stay in the youth team. After watching his teammate Saviola become famous in the riverbed, he joined Barcelona, ​​and watched his teammate Dalexandro be highly expected by the team and played as the absolute main player in the first team.

Seeing more and more teammates finally succeed in entering the mainstream European league with their outstanding performance in the Argentine League, the boy felt like he was a lonely person who had been completely forgotten by the world. He could not understand why this was for?

"Don't lose confidence in yourself. Children, don't they all say that you play very well in the national team? Sooner or later, I will give you a chance. Believe me, don't give up easily." The father on the other side of the phone kept persuading his son.

This is a child who once brought him countless pride and made him have high hopes, because he entered the palace-level football school in Argentina's youth training, Lenato Cesarini.

In Argentina, when it comes to Lenato Cesarini, it can be said that everyone knows it.

This football school has two founders, namely Holge Solari and Ed Alde Solari. They are brothers. The former is the father-in-law of the former Real Madrid world-class midfielder Redondo, and the latter is the father of Santiago Solari who currently plays for Real Madrid.

The football youth training schools founded by these two people almost bring together the most outstanding football talents under the age of 15 in Argentina. Almost every year, they provide a lot of outstanding rookies to various professional teams in Argentina. Many of these rookies have achieved impressive achievements, so Lenato Cesarini has also become the palace of Argentina's youth training.

Oscar was once a striker who was well-known in Argentina. He helped the old boy in Newell win the 1974 league championship. Although he was not very famous, he performed well in the year when the team won the championship and made great contributions to the team.

Because of this experience, Oscar has been cultivating his son to play football since he was a child, but he hopes that his son can become a forward like himself. In fact, his son Javier has played the role of a forward who sieges the city since he was a child and performed very well.

But just as more and more people recognized Javier and thought that this child would be an excellent striker in the future, Oscar was very sure and even directly concluded that his son would not achieve even a slight achievement on the front line in the future.

"His position should be in No. 5, Redondo's position!" Oscar said with great certainty.

Since then, Oscar brought Javier to the team he coached and began to force his position to retreat from the forward to the midfield, because he always felt that his son had a very broad vision and was aggressive, especially because he seemed to have a kind of instinct, an instinct to grab the ball from the opponent's feet.

It is hard to say whether this is a talent, but Oscar has always believed that his decision was not wrong. Even now, he feels that his son is more like Redondo than Maradona.

Oscar's judgment was affirmed by Ed Alder Solari. When he first saw Javier, he said to Oscar with great certainty, "Although I have always believed that there should not be excessive praise for young players, this time I have to say that your judgment is correct. Your son is very outstanding in the No. 5 position and he is a genius in the No. 5 position."

The No. 5 position is equivalent to the midfielder with a heavier defensive task, and Redondo's position.

After only one year in Lenato Cesarini, Javier performed very well and made obvious progress. Lenato Cesarini, who gathered many outstanding rookies, quickly stood out. Not only did he receive the attention of domestic professional teams in Argentina, but also received the ideas of some scouts.

The Solarian brothers made a suggestion to Oscars and his son, that is, through their relationship in Europe, arrange for Javier to go to the European Second-rate League, and after receiving the cultivation and training of the European League, they will definitely be able to enter the mainstream league in the future.

Oscar has no doubt about the Solari brothers' connections in Europe and around the world, but he finally rejected such an attractive invitation because he felt that his son was still very young, and the most important thing at the moment was to stay in Argentina, slowly accumulate game experience, and then go to Europe.

Eventually, the Solarian brothers supported their choice and arranged them to enter the academy camp in Riverbed.

Things went very smoothly afterwards. Javier soon emerged in the River Plate Youth Team and was invited by Peckelman to join the national youth team, ushering in the resume of his national team. From U15 to U17, to the 2001 World Youth Championship, Javier's performance was always very steady and outstanding.

But sometimes, as a defensive player, it is like this. If it is too stable, it is easy to be ignored by the camera and easily concealed by teammates, especially the starlight of offensive teammates, and Javier is the same.

Now, seeing his teammates surpassing themselves and starting to gain a foothold in the Argentine League and even in the European League, even so far, he can only spend his days in the youth training camp. It is conceivable how depressed and bad Javier is.

Oscar could understand his son's mood at this moment, but he himself didn't know what to do. Sometimes he recalled and had to regret that he did not accept the advice of the Solari brothers, because Argentina never valued a defensive midfielder like his son.

If I could go to Europe back then, even if I had just gained a foothold in the second-rate league, trained for a few years, and accumulated more and more rich game experience, I believe that my son should have made his mark in the European League, right?

But in this world, there is no if and no regret medicine to take.

The father and son didn't talk much, especially in this situation, Oscar didn't know what to say, so he hung up the phone shortly after, and sighed.

After Javier hung up the phone, he gritted his teeth and endured the discomfort in his heart. He walked out of the telephone booth in the dormitory. He didn't know what his future would be like, and he didn't know if he still had a future?

Just as the coach of the River Plate Youth Team said, in Argentina, there are countless rookies like you and even better than you every day waiting for opportunities. If you don’t perform well, others will be able to replace you immediately.

The boy Javier walked out of the phone booth and slowly walked towards his dormitory, feeling depressed all the way.
Chapter completed!
