When Ajax reversed Leverkusen 3-1 away in Germany and got a hard start to the group stage, Manchester United retreated unscathed in the snowy Moscow. What's interesting is that both games were reversed.

Manchester United obviously could not adapt to the terrifying weather in Moscow at all. At the beginning of the game, the goalkeeper crisis had become two major troubles for the Red Devils Manchester United's midfield and backcourt, one was the central defender and the other was the goalkeeper.

Although Van Nicht and Solskjaer's goals later helped Manchester United reverse, the Red Devils played very poorly throughout the game.

But no matter what, I got 3 points, so Ferguson was in a good mood.

Because Ajax defeated Leverkusen 3:1, he is currently in the top spot in the group. Manchester United won the second place in the group, with Moscow Locomotive and Leverkusen third and fourth respectively.

This ranking is somewhat unexpected, and it also caused gambling companies such as William Hill to adjust Ajax's qualifying odds in the second round of the group stage. From being optimistic before, it has become a popular team now. After all, Leverkusen's performance at home was indeed very unsatisfactory.

By the way, Ye Qiu finally won the most important honor in his personal career.

He was selected by UEFA as the best European coach in November, which has never been in the Eredivisie in recent years. He was almost always won by four major leagues before. Ye Qiu was able to win this award this time due to Ajax's two exciting games in November, namely a 3-0 victory over AC Milan and a 3-1 reversal of Leverkusen.

It can be said that most of these two games were credited by the head coach, and Ye Qiu also won the recognition of the entire European football world and even the world football world because of these two games, and became famous again. He was elected as the Best Coach of UEFA in November, which also made Ye Qiu the cover character of major European newspapers, magazines and media.

The agency company run by Eliza is also fueling the fire. Taking advantage of this momentum, it will carry out a round of publicity and promotion for Ye Qiu, striving to make Ye Qiu a landmark under her company. Even French football went to Amsterdam to conduct an exclusive interview with Ye Qiu, which will be included in the Golden Globe Special Issue.

During this interview, Ye Qiu directly answered all the questions raised by French football journalists, including team management, team tactics, etc. He even did not hide the team's goals this season.

"I know, we won the Champions League semi-finals last season, and many people think that Ajax is lucky and is a dark horse, relying on luck and other things, which makes my players and I feel very uncomfortable, so we are all holding our breath this season. We have to use our strength to prove to everyone. Last season was not a coincidence!"

In the end, it is inevitable that we will definitely talk about some private topics.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, there have always been many rumors about your private life. For example, the media once revealed photos of you and your girlfriend attending an event, and later it was confirmed that she is your agent. So we all want to know if you have a girlfriend?"

"Of course!" Ye Qiu nodded and smiled, "I have a girlfriend, and many people know that this is not a secret."

"Just keep a little low!" The reporter of French Football Magazine was very happy. After all, this news was probably the first one to be dug out by French football. "Can you disclose more?"

"We know her in Amsterdam. She is also a Chinese. She is studying in Europe. She is a relatively low-key person and doesn't like to be interviewed or harassed, so she has hardly ever appeared in front of the camera."

After hearing this, the French reporter smiled: "Is she a fan too? Will she come to see you play?"

"Occasionally, she doesn't like football very much. Her ideal is to be an excellent surgeon and she is working in this direction, so we don't live together, but as long as it's my game, she basically watches live broadcasts."

The French football magazine reporter sitting in front of Ye Qiu is named Desol. He is a senior reporter of French football magazine. He also has a certain influence in European football. He has a deep friendship with superstars such as Zidane and Ronaldo. When he looked at Ye Qiu's expression when he mentioned his girlfriend, he wrote an adjective on his notebook, happy!

During the entire interview, Eliza was accompanied by her. It was already well known that she was Ye Qiu's agent. Even the two lived in the same house. This was not a secret, and everyone knew about it.

Sometimes this is what happens in the world. The more you are secretive, the more suspicious you are, the more likely you are to cause misunderstandings. Like Ye Qiu and others, they have lived together when they were not famous before, and have lived together now. They admit it openly, what are they afraid of? Who would misunderstand?

Seeing Eliza sending Desol away, Ye Qiu picked up the cell phone on the desktop and dialed a number.

"I have to apologize to you first, A Chu!" After the phone was posted, Ye Qiu smiled and said, if he guessed correctly, Huang Chu should have finished taking a shower at this time, lying on the bed to read a book, and was waiting for Ye Qiu's call.

"Why do you want to apologize? Could it be...what did you do that is sorry for me?" Huang Chu said with a smile.

Ye Qiu deliberately looked surprised, "How did you know? I just came back from Devalen District!"

Huang Chu on the other side of the phone was amused by Ye Qiu's tone. Devalen District is a famous red light district in Amsterdam. Strictly speaking, Ye Qiu passed by several times during the day, but he had never been tonight because he was afraid of misunderstandings.

Just imagine, if the newspaper made the front page, the head coach of Ajax recruited prostitutes in the middle of the night...

"Tell me, what's the matter if you're not serious?" Huang Chu asked after laughing.

"Just just now, French Football Magazine gave me an exclusive interview and asked about my private affairs, and I sold you!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Huang Chu smiled gently on the other side of the phone. She could hear that Ye Qiu couldn't wait to share the good news with her. As a football coach, he was able to appear in the special issue of the Golden Globe Awards of French Football Magazine and also received an exclusive interview. This was not an easy task.

For those top coaches, such as Ferguson, Wenger and others, it may be just a slight effort, but for Ye Qiu, it is really hard to find, because French football magazines can be said to be Time magazine in European football, and their Golden Globe Awards are hailed as more authoritative than the World Footballer, which shows how much influence it is.

"If you sell, you will sell it. Anyway, I can't do anything to you." Huang Chu said with a smile, but soon he smiled.

In football, and even in the European entertainment industry, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, relying on the relationship between a man or a girlfriend, there are countless people who have become popular in the media. Even in the football field, which is famous for its male world, the girlfriend or wife of the stars are the media's darlings. The most famous one is Victoria, the wife of England star Beckham.

Huang Chu is in the UK and she has heard about some things about Beckham and his wife. In her opinion, Victoria is almost always by Beckham's side, attending a series of events, becoming a fairy couple in everyone's eyes.

But she rarely accompanied Ye Qiu like this. On several occasions, Ye Qiu invited her to attend some events, but she refused.

With Ye Qiu's status and influence increasing in recent years, he has participated in more and more similar activities. Needless to mention, there are many cocktail parties, award ceremony held by the Dutch Football Association, UEFA, and FIFA, and Ye Qiu can't push away these.

In the end, there was no way, Ye Qiu still asked Eliza to attend as her female companion, and even had a scandal for it before.

"Why don't you talk anymore? Are you asleep?" Ye Qiu didn't hear the sound for a long time, and was a little strange.

"Nothing, I'm just wondering, are you going to be angry?"

"What's angry?"

Huang Chu was a little timid, but he still spoke, "I know I'm a little willful and may cause you some trouble."

Ye Qiu is also a smart person. He understood what she meant at first and guessed, and laughed, "Do you know, there is a saying that we have to share half of the marriage with others, but I am different from others. I want to marry a beautiful wife, but I don't like to share half of the marriage with others, so I can only hide it at home and not let her come out to meet people."

When Huang Chu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and scold him again, but he felt much more comfortable. She knew that Ye Qiu was deliberately saying this to comfort and persuade her, so she felt relieved.

"I always feel that marrying a wife is not about buying a vase for my family. Women, now in what era, of course, I have to have my own opinions, my own career, my own pursuits, my own ideals, I have no opinions on everything, and I rely on men. I don't like this kind of woman either."

"So, don't think too much, don't worry about doing what you like to do, I will always support you!"

Ye Qiu said what Huang Chu said made her eyes turn red, gritting her teeth, and she refused to let herself speak out.

Sometimes women's ideas are very simple. What they want is just a man who knows how to understand them, respect them, and loves them on the basis of understanding and respect, that is a good man.

"By the way, I called my dad and my mom. They said that they would choose a good day after Christmas, come to Shanghai to meet your parents, and hold the engagement ceremony by the way." Ye Qiu continued to say that Huang Chu didn't say anything.

"Yeah!" The voice was a little small, with a little reserve and shyness of a girl.

"The customs in our hometown are very troublesome. Even if it is an engagement, there is a lot of red tape. My father and my mother mean it is simpler. Don't waste it too much. You know, our family is a poor family, not as rich as you, so don't act too ruthlessly." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Go, are you still poor?" Huang Chu cursed with a smile, "But I told my dad too much, don't be too extravagant, but he is dealing with these things, and I don't know what he thinks."

"That's simple. Just tell him directly, I have no money, no house, and no car, and I'll be a poor man. Whether my daughter will marry or not, please do whatever she wants." Ye Qiu said, "It's very rogue."

Of course Huang Chu knew he was joking, so he was not angry at all, but laughed non-stop.

In fact, Huang Chu knew about the dowry for Huang Jinsong and his wife to get engaged and get married, because her mother Chu Yun had mentioned it to her that just getting engaged, there was a luxury villa with the highest value in Shanghai, two luxury cars, and other jewelry and so on.

Originally, Huang Jinsong had prepared a cash amount of 88888888, but was persuaded by Huang Chu to go back. The company's capital turnover has just eased, so he should not take out the money for such a meaningless thing.

Huang Chu never mentioned these things to Ye Qiu because she knew that Ye Qiu didn't care and there was no need to mention them. It seemed that the relationship between the two was very vulgar and material. When it comes to engagement or marriage, the most important thing is that the two people are happy, that's fine.

…………

Back from Germany, Ajax soon welcomed Twente.

This game was difficult because Ajax's players obviously had poor physical fitness, which led to their average competitive state. Facing Twente, who was more prepared, Ajax encountered tenacious resistance.

Van der Fate took the lead in breaking Twente's goal in the 18th minute and opened the first record for Ajax. The Dutch New Cruyff's performance has indeed become more and more eye-catching recently, and the competition with Van der Mede has become increasingly fierce, which has also made Robben and Heleb on the left feel the pressure.

But Ajax's lead lasted only 20 minutes. Twente successfully equalized the score by a counterattack before the end of the first half, which gave Ajax a scoundrel.

During the halftime break, although Ye Qiu was in a good mood recently, he still scolded all the players, especially De Jong, who was the main midfielder in this game, was a large part of the conceding of the goal.

No matter how you scold me, you still need to adjust how you should adjust in the second half, and you still need to continue to trust what you should trust.

Ronald Koeman obviously had a deep understanding of Ajax's tactics, so he made targeted arrangements. He almost blocked Ajax's offense firmly from the goal in the entire second half. No matter how dangerous Ajax created, he could not break Twente's goal.

Finally in the 86th minute, Van der Fate dribbled the ball from the right and passed two players in a row, and won another goal for Ajax, which helped Ajax defeat the visiting Twente 2:1.

Although this game was won, the outside media criticized De Jong's mistakes in the game, but Ye Qiu took the initiative to defend his players and said that he was satisfied with De Jong and Mascherano's performance this season.

It is the first time that young players take the lead. It is impossible for them to be like Gilberto Silva, a player who has already entered a mature state and performance for a season and never make mistakes. That is impossible.

Judging from the current situation, Mascherano has made great progress, especially after adapting to Ajax's tactics, adapting to the style and environment of Eredivisie and European football, his performance is becoming more and more stable, and he is definitely not as rumored as some media have said, saying something is bad, no.

The position of the midfielder is somewhat thankless, or it is not outstanding. If it is outstanding, it is basically either a foul or a mistake. In most of the other time when it is not outstanding, the media and reporters will not pay attention to how the players perform.

When a head coach wants to measure his players, he should clearly judge how effective the player has on his tactics.

In recent games, Ajax has conceded goals frequently, which has a certain relationship with the team's overall decline in control. After all, he plays with high-level defense. Once the control drops, the entire defensive system will also decline.

The reason for the decline in control is related to the player's physical fitness.

Since the league has played, which team dares to say that their players are in good health?

There will definitely be problems of this kind or another, but some problems have been found by the media, and some people are not interested.

But sometimes, the pressure caused by the media will more or less have some impact on the players.

A week later, Ajax challenged Grafsharp away.

Because the Locomotive Moscow is about to usher in the middle of the week, Ye Qiu continued to arrange a semi-main and half-substitute lineup in this game. De Jong is still in the midfielder, but the player's performance in this game makes people clearly feel that his mentality is unbalanced.

Ajax took the lead in the first half, and Hunteral's goal helped Ajax open the first record.

But in the second half, De Jong had already received a yellow card warning, and he had an unnecessary foul, which made him get two yellow cards shortly after the beginning of the second half, and turned into a red card and was sent out.

Grafsharp, who had been on the 11-0 goal for a long time in the second half, finally scored a goal in the 83rd minute and tied Ajax 1:1 at home, which made the home team all excited as if they had picked up gold on the road.

This time Ye Qiu was not polite anymore. He gave De Jong a warning from the inside and said outside that he was disappointed with De Jong's foul and hoped that De Jong could sum up his experience and lessons, but also said that this would not affect De Jong's position in the team.

The 1:1 draw of Grafsharp did not bring too much criticism from Ajax, because the second leg of the second round of the Champions League group stage was immediately held in the middle of the week.

This time, Ajax, who had been angry for a long time, finally issued a killing move, hitting the visiting Locomotive of Moscow. In the third minute of the game, Ibrahimovic scored the first record for Ajax.

In the 34th minute, Lucio's goal expanded the score, and just 8 minutes later, Sneijder won another goal for Ajax, 3:0.

In the second half, Robben's goal in the 51st minute completely locked the score at 4:0!

In another game in the same group, Manchester United narrowly defeated Leverkusen 3-2 at Old Trafford, which also allowed Ajax to continue to occupy the leading position smoothly, while Manchester United scored the same points, followed closely by Leverkusen and Moscow Locomotive ranked third and fourth respectively.

The third round of the group stage will be until February, and the Dutch Cup schedule has also been adjusted compared to the past. Ajax started playing in the round of 16 knockout round and will not be played until early February. Therefore, after playing this game, Ajax only had the Dutch Eredivisie left before the winter break.
Chapter completed!
