December 4, 1999, Saturday, the 27th day of the lunar calendar, the weather was sunny.

Ye Qiu will remember this day because it was on this day that he and Huang Chu were dating!

Uh, OK, frankly, this is not considered a date!

The main reason is that a certain man is very despicable and shameless. He abandoned Ricklink and Roland, two assistants, but pretended to be lonely and pitiful in front of a certain woman, which made a woman feel sympathetic and agreed to watch the football game together.

The date is 3 pm, and the location is the president's stands at Arena Stadium in the new town area of ​​Amsterdam.

Today, Huang Chu was wearing a red cardigan, which was paired with a white V-neck knitted gown, and his exposed pink and white neck was wrapped in an Ajax scarf. Ye Qiu bought two of them when they were outside, one for each.

He was wearing a pair of light blue white tight jeans on his lower body, showing his slender legs and graceful curves to the fullest. Paired with a pair of flat boots, there was no jewelry on his body, but a white belt watch on his left wrist, giving people a very youthful and beautiful freshness.

"Did you see it? They are all staring at you!" Ye Qiu secretly scanned the surroundings and found that there were all a group of wolves and tigers. Even Ye Qiu himself was in trouble, and he must have been scolded by countless people.

Huang Chu glared at him, "I'll talk nonsense again, let's see if I'll go out with you next time!"

Ye Qiu laughed, saying this was a warning, but in fact it also revealed a little meaning, that is, you can go on a date again next time.

Who says he doesn’t know how to pick up girls without having sex?

This kind of thing depends on talent and diligence!

"Hey, you said, can the first team win today?" Huang Chu also worked in Ajax and hoped that Ajax could win.

Ye Qiu frowned and shook his head while taking out a note and a pen from his bag beside him, "It's hard to say, it depends on how Waters arranges troops. If he fights Eindhoven, there will be a lot of danger!"

No matter from any aspect, Ajax has not yet been able to beat Eindhoven's strength for the time being. This is not about developing the ambition of others and destroying one's own prestige, but about a kind of rationality.

Eindhoven is strong, but his team is not as strong as them. Why can’t we say it? Don’t dare to say it?

But when Ye Qiu saw Ajax's starting lineup, he felt a secretly screaming.

After the game began, Ajax immediately wanted to use his home court to launch a round of attacks against Eindhoven.

Waters' abacus should be to take advantage of the opening opportunity, seize the initiative in one go, and suppress Eindhoven's momentum first. It is naturally the best to score a goal. Even if you cannot score a goal, you can at least suppress Eindhoven's sharpness and increase your fighting spirit.

This kind of start is not bad. It should be said that all tactics are double-edged swords, and there is no absolute good or absolutely bad.

Just like Waters's start, it was indeed a good one, which made Eindhoven suffer a setback at the start. Although he failed to score, he was passive and could not organize an effective offensive, and was suppressed by Ajax.

From the beginning of the game, Ye Qiu put himself in the role of Waters. He no longer cared about a beautiful beauty sitting next to him. He threw all his thoughts into the game, and simulated in his heart what he would do if it were himself, and then studied Eindhoven's moves.

Eric Gretz was once a famous right-back in Europe. He helped Belgium win the second place in the 1980 European Cup and reached the semi-finals in the 1986 World Cup. In terms of the club, he won two championships in Standard Liege, and after coming to Eindhoven, he won six championships. He was also the main player in the 1987/88 Champions League championship team.

This Eindhoven celebrity also started to take charge of Eindhoven this summer. This season, the team has been cleaned and adjusted, and a group of powerful players who are in their playtime have been introduced, greatly strengthening the team's offense and defense.

Ye Qiu has studied Gretz's preferences. He feels that Gretz, who is a forward and famous defender, first seeks stability, which leads to his team's offense and defense balance. Although there are offensive experts like Korka and Romedal in the midfield, there are also players like Van Bomel, Van der Doron and Hochlov with excellent defensive abilities to balance offense and defense.

After the start, Ajax took the initiative to attack and took a lot of initiative, but he was unable to break through Eindhoven's defense line. This is because Ajax's offensive ability is not strong enough, and because Eindhoven's defense is excellent, especially the combination of Nikifolov and Faber's central defender is very strong.

In this case, Ye Qiu felt that after attacking for a while, he should appropriately collect it.

"It's still an old problem. The distance between the two sides has been extended and the pressure is relatively high, so that the full-back is directly exposed to the opponent's two fast polo players. This is a way to die!" Ye Qiu looked nervous, but he didn't know if Waters saw it.

After hearing Ye Qiu's words, Huang Chu didn't know if it was right. She knew nothing about football, especially the professional football tactics, so she couldn't discuss these with Ye Qiu. She could only accompany him to watch the football game and listen to him muttering from time to time.

When the game reached the 19th minute, Eindhoven intercepted the ball in the backcourt and handed it to Van Bomel. The latter transferred the ball to the left and gave it to Korca. He saw Korca take the ball and turn around and face Viecklao directly. In one-on-one situation, he forced Viecklao to use speed and technique to pass Viecklao and then cross it.

Van Nystruei, the super forward who has won the fear of all the teams in the Eredivisie this season, naturally would not miss such an opportunity. He beat Ajax central defender Villat in the penalty area and scored the first record for Eindhoven, 1:0!

When Eindhoven scored, the stands at the Arena Stadium were deafening booed. Obviously, the fans were also dissatisfied with the development of the game, because Waters's team actually allowed Eindhoven to score the first goal at Arena Stadium.

Anyone who knows the ball knows that the next game will be even more difficult by a team like Eindhoven!

"To restrain these two wing fast horses, it is not enough to rely on one person alone, so the distance between the midfield and the backcourt cannot be too far. The three lines must be kept compact and cannot be trapped in a single-soldier battle!" After Ye Qiu looked at Eindhoven's first goal, he felt that his previous judgment was correct.

Korka and Romedal have excellent personal abilities and fast speeds. Defenders are always passive against such players and will definitely suffer losses one-on-one, so they have to work together to squeeze space so that their speed cannot be played out, so that the pair of angel wings cannot fly.

It has to be said that after more than half a month of research on Rehager's overall defensive tactics, and sorting out his previous gains, he now has a certain foundation in how to limit the opponent's offense and compress the opponent's offensive space.

This cannot be said that he is smart. The books and analysis sold by the Godfather system adopt a more in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation, and there are few complex and difficult theories. Therefore, Ye Qiu has in-depth research and basically mastered them. However, a deeper understanding requires more competitions and practices to verify.

He started slowly than others, but fortunately, with this system, he could catch up with others step by step.

"Why can we still attack before we concede the ball, but after we concede the ball, we didn't even score a decent goal?" Huang Chu felt more and more confused as he looked at it, because after being scored, Ajax's scene was quickly reversed and began to become passive.

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, "In such a major game, neither side is willing to lose, because losing a game was not just three points, but also many other aspects, such as team morale, players' fighting spirit and confidence, etc.."

"After two consecutive losses, Ajax can't lose in this game, so the pressure on both the players and the coach is very high. Just after being scored one goal, they were completely defeated!"

"What should I do?" Huang Chu was also anxious. She is now a typical Ajax fan.

"Hold on your own!" Ye Qiu said helplessly. This was the most forced way, and he wanted to stabilize the situation first.

If you can't even stabilize the situation and you've been scored consecutively by the opponent, what else can you talk about?

Just as Ye Qiu was talking, Eindhoven scored another goal.

This time, after Romedal cut into the penalty area from the right, Nelis passed the ball, the latter volleyed vigorously, and Ajax goalkeeper Grim saved the ball, but Van Nistrui made a follow-up shot, 2:0!

The Ajax fans in the stands of Arena Stadium have completely turned into an angry ocean!

I saw Ajax fans rushing away from their seats when Eindhoven scored another goal, and roared at the home team coach's seat, hiding from Waters, who dared not come out.

"Second get out of class! ended get out of class! ended get out of class!!!"

"Waters, go!"

"Get out, Waters, we don't need you!"

"You are giving Ajax shame!"

At the huge Arena Stadium, there are endless shouts of shouting after class.

As early as the last game where he lost to Real Mallorca 0:2 at home, Ajax fans couldn't help but shout that Waters was about to get out of class. Now, in less than half an hour, Eindhoven scored two goals in a row. The team's morale and Waters' coaching ability are already very obvious.

For teams like Ajax, no matter how good you perform against other underdogs on weekdays, fans will take it for granted, but if you perform poorly in strong conversations, you will become the target of everyone's attack.

The last time against Feyenoord, Waters' team lost 2 goals, and the defeat was ugly. Now, he encountered Eindhoven, and the start was also a nightmare, so fans immediately attacked.

"If the people's hearts are dispersed, it will be difficult to lead the team!" Ye Qiu suddenly said this.

"Do you sympathize with Waters?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "It is difficult to shift all the responsibilities to Waters. Many people have to bear the responsibility, including Chairman Van Prager. It's just that Waters' mistakes are too obvious and too stupid!"

At the beginning of the season, when the team won three consecutive victories, Ye Qiu reminded him not to just remember to fight for power and profit. The most important thing is the game, but he obviously did not listen to it, but instead he was concerned about Ye Qiu.

Now, it turns out that Waters has difficulty staying there any more.

"Will he really get out of class?" Huang Chu felt that being booed by tens of thousands of fans should be miserable, right?

"Yes!" Ye Qiu was very clear about Ajax's current situation. He could say with great certainty that if he couldn't take Eindhoven, he would definitely be dismissed because Ajax could not give him time now.

In March 2000, Ajax will usher in a century-old celebration. At that time, Ajax fans all over the world will celebrate the entire Amsterdam. If Waters' team fails at this time, what will it look like?

Traditional European clubs attach great importance to these things. Ye Qiu still remembers that Real Madrid lost the 100th anniversary celebration because of that game, Florentino fired the meritorious coach Bosque. Perhaps many people think that it was just an excuse, but at that time, the fans were very angry, and even the chairman had to consider it.

Van Prager is not a decisive chairman. He also knows that the new coach will take time. Now that the fire of Waters and leaving the entire winter break for the new coach to operate is undoubtedly the best way to ensure the centenary celebration.

"Do you think it's cruel?" Ye Qiu looked at Huang Chu and noticed the unbearableness on her face.

"Isn't it?"

Ye Qiu smiled, "Risks and gains are fair. If Waters coaches well, he will become famous in one fell swoop, with an annual salary of over one million, and will be successful and fame all his life. This is an irresistible temptation for anyone, but at the same time, if he fails, the price he pays will definitely be very painful."

"So, I think it's fair!"

"That's what you men think!" Huang Chuke disagreed with Ye Qiu's opinion.

"What do you women think?"

Huang Chu thought about it, shook his head, unable to say it.

"Silly girl, there is no business in this world that can make a profit and not lose money. It is precisely because there are risks and crises that we can urge us to do our best and do everything best. In this way, we will feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction after we get results."

Gradually, Ye Qiu seemed to fall in love with this feeling a little.

Huang Chu glared at him with anger, and reached out to twist his arm gently, as if he was blaming him for calling her a silly girl. Ye Qiu took the opportunity to protest loudly, but he was happy in his heart.

…………

…………

Fanny's double score in the first half helped Eindhoven take the lead.

Waters made adjustments in the second half, but the team still did not improve. Van Bomel's goal in the 51st minute helped Eindhoven to change the score to 3:0, which completely defeated the only glimmer of hope left by the Ajax players, and they completely lost their fighting spirit.

Waters sat in the coach's seat from beginning to end, and no one came out, nor did anyone see what his expression was like.

Perhaps, it may be because he was depressed, or he was complaining with grief and angry face, or he was very unwilling to shirk responsibility, but nothing could stop Eindhoven from continuing to pursue Ajax.

Romedal's goal finally locked the score at 4:0!

This is also the most painful game Ajax lost at Arena Stadium this season!

Waters was unable to turn decay into magic in the end, nor could he lead the team to create miracles.

After being eliminated from the League Cup and now being massacred by Eindhoven in the league, suffering three consecutive defeats, almost saying that he had lost the power to compete for the league championship ahead of schedule, Waters no longer had any hope of staying in office.

Arena Stadium is filled with fans venting their dissatisfaction. They try their best to attack head coach Waters. Even though this person was once their hope, it was in return for deep despair.

No one will attribute all this to the aftermath of the Boseman Act, no one will attribute all this to a pain in the team's metabolism, and no one will regard it as the darkness before the dawn of Ajax.
