Chapter 27 Come on, Ajax!(1/2)

Chairman Ajax's office was arranged to be by the window on the second floor of the west stand of Arena Stadium.

Van Prager did not go to the second team to watch this cup game. Although it took only two or three minutes from here to the second team to the second team to the second team, he still sat in his office, closed the doors and windows, and the TV was loud and loud.

He was scared, even he could see that he was scared!

Originally he should have supported Ye Qiu, but he really optimistic about Ye Qiu, especially after Ye Qiu has shown his eye-catching abilities in the past few months, he really admires this young man very much.

But he didn't dare to go because he was afraid!

The night at Arena Stadium made him feel an unprecedented fear. He even felt that if he could not give the fans a satisfactory reply, tens of thousands of people would overthrow Arena Stadium. They might rush into the stadium office wildly and tear him, the chairman, to pieces.

On that snowy day in January 1989, after Ajax was turbulent for many years, after Cruyff announced that he would leave the team, even if he could not save Ajax, he resolutely responded to the fans' calls and followed in the footsteps of his father Yap Van Prag.

At that time, he was regarded as a savior by Ajax fans, and he did not disappoint Ajax fans for too long. In 1991, he resolutely chose Van Gaal to replace Leo Benhack who had gone away from Madrid, and gave the youth training coach who was only 40 years old at the time.

Van Gaal did not disappoint him, and then Ajax ushered in the revival of the dynasty until he reached the top of Europa.

It can be said that at that time Van Prager was ambitious and ambitious. He hoped to bring Ajax to a new height in history like his father. He was even thinking about building Ajax into the best football club in the world, because Ajax was full of talents at that time.

But unexpectedly, the impact of the Boseman Act completely shattered his career, his dreams, and everything about him!

The players left one after another, the club's finances were getting worse and worse, and the anger and dissatisfaction of the fans increased day by day. All of this made him feel overwhelmed, but he still did not give up and still persisted.

After seeing Olson off, he had to make a choice, and he decided to bet like he did when he sent Leo Benhack away in 1991!

So, Van Gaal in 1991 became Waters in 1999.

He was very lucky back then because he bet Van Gaal won the bet, but in 1999 he was very unfortunate because he bet Waters lost.

Being willing to accept the loss of the bet is a quality that a gambler must possess, so Van Prager has never complained about the world. However, losing the biggest bet in his life made him feel as if he had been taken away from everything.

Fear of gains and losses, hesitation, uneasiness... All the emotions that I had never had when I was young actually appeared.

Sometimes, Van Prag couldn't help asking himself, what was going on?

No one can answer him, even he himself can’t!

It's like today, sitting in the office, listening to the TV sound that was just about to make his ears deaf. He didn't know why he was like this, but he was just afraid!

He was afraid that he could hear the angry roars and curses of the fans from the stadium not far away; he was afraid that Ye Qiu's team would lose terrible under Eindhoven's iron hooves and lose terrible; he was even more afraid that Ye Qiu, the only one who could hold a little hope, eventually made him completely desperate.

Sometimes, the reason why people escape is not because of despair, but because there is hope!

Van Prague sat in the office and he was not watching TV because he didn't like watching boring TV shows. If he was in normal times, he would rather go to a boring football game than watch a minute of this kind of TV.

So, he watched the TV absent-mindedly, but he raised his head from time to time and glanced at the wall clock.

"The half should be over, right?" Van Pragger felt a little worried for no reason.

He didn't dare to think about the next thing because he was afraid that he would guess wrongly.

Sometimes people are really stupid, just like Van Prager is like this now. He will feel that if he knows it later, he can keep this hope in his heart longer, even if it is only a little bit, it is fine.

At this moment, a brief mute appeared on the TV. Van Prager vaguely heard a strong sound from outside the closed window. He couldn't hear clearly what it was, but he could probably guess.

"Is it booing and swearing?" Van Prager suddenly felt unprecedented frustration.

Because, even the last glimmer of hope was not kept!

It was at this moment that he heard people outside the office shouting something and running around the corridor.

He began to worry again, could it be that the fans were causing trouble again?

As the chairman of the club, he can escape a lot, but he still has the responsibility in such a critical moment.

"What's going on?" Van Prager opened the office door and stopped an administrative staff member who was about to run towards the stairs.

"Sir Chairman, are you here?" The clerk panted and looked surprised.

"What are you all doing? What are you running?" Van Prag was still very imposing in front of people.

The man laughed, "We are going to cheer for the second team, we are all going!"

Van Prag was stunned and went to cheer for the second team, what should I do?

"A colleague called me just now. The second team held the 0:0 in the first half, but it was very hard, so we all had to cheer for them so that the group of Eindhoven's bastards knew that we were all Ajax!" After the man said that, he ran directly to the stairwell.

People who work in Ajax have not paid high salaries. After all, the team's finances are so difficult now, how can they offer high salaries?

These people did not leave the team, mainly because of their feelings for the club.

Looking at the man's back, Van Prag was stunned.

0:0?

He suddenly couldn't believe what he heard, because in his opinion, it was impossible!

Eindhoven has never lost in the Netherlands so far this season. Even when facing Ajax's first team, they can completely resolve the battle in the first half. Will such a team be blocked by the second team?

Van Prager decided to go and see what happened. He even forgot to close the office door and walked quickly towards the stairwell.

He ran all the way to DeTok Most, where the second team was located. He saw that there was no one in the security room. Obviously, everyone went to the home court, so he also walked directly into the iron gate and headed straight to the stadium.

From afar, he heard the voices from the stadium.

"Come on, the guys from the second team, fuck them to death!"

"Kill Eindhoven, the soldiers of Ajax!"

"Fight for the honor and dignity of Ajax!"

"Tell them that we are brave Ajax!"

"No one wants to beat us, because we are Ajax who will never give up!"

These slogans, Van Prag felt as if they were ignited.

When he arrived outside the second team stadium, he found a grand occasion.

The stands of the 2,000 people were already crowded, but more and more fans entered the stadium, but they stood around the stadium in an orderly manner, shouting slogans, but not entering the stadium, which was very orderly.

There was also the group of fans in the stands. They didn't sit down, but stood up.

At the intersection near the other side of the fan passage, you can see many fans coming from the news entering the stadium.

This is the second team, without the comfortable seats at Arena Stadium and without the overwhelming fanatic atmosphere at Arena Stadium.

But this group of Ajax fans feel Ajax's spirit again!

This is undoubtedly more valuable than comfortable seats and modern stadiums!

Especially when Van Prager saw the players from the second team walk out of the locker room, all the fans at the scene cheered wildly, and he couldn't help but shout, "Come on, Ajax!"

…………

…………

"Ye Qiu!"

When Ye Qiu sent the players out of the locker room and was about to walk to the coaching seat in front, Huang Chu called him.

After all, it is the second team, without good hardware facilities, and even players can only adopt a more amateur approach to entering the court.

"Is there something wrong?" Ye Qiu squeezed out a smile.

"It's okay... Uh, no, something is wrong!" Huang Chu also looked a little nervous.

She has always been sitting in the stands. She can feel the transformation from the fans. She also knows that the transformation from the fans may not necessarily bring good things, and it may make Ye Qiu's pressure more and heavier.

"Is it something wrong or nothing?" Ye Qiu really laughed out loud.

Huang Chu glared at him with a angrily look, "I want to say that no matter what the result is, you have already won!"

Ye Qiu knew in her heart that she was comforting herself and nodded, "I will say this when I win the game!"

Seeing Ye Qiu leaving, Huang Chu called him again, "I just checked it out when I was watching the game. I think their physical fitness should...may be able to last until about 60-70 minutes in the second half."

"Why?" Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment.

"They have been playing double games in a week since the national team match in November. It was early in the morning today and it took two hours to drive from Eindhoven to Amsterdam. I have also read some of their past game data and physical fitness analysis these days. I think it's best to only last until 70 minutes. If the preparations before the game are relaxed, some players will probably not have much physical fitness by 60 minutes!"

Physical fitness is also a level that Ye Qiu considered before the game, but he was never as refined as Huang Chu.

For the time being, Ye Qiu couldn't listen to how Huang Chu got these data, but he thought it made some sense.

"I understand, thank you!" Ye Qiu smiled slightly, nodded, and turned around and was about to leave.

After only two steps, Ye Qiu suddenly turned around and shouted at Huang Chu's back, "A Chu."

"Ah?" Huang Chu suddenly looked back, and his heart trembled for no reason. What did Ye Qiu call her just now?

"If I win this game, I will confess to you!"

Huang Chu's fair and pink face turned red in a flash. Then he clenched his pink fists and pretended to beat him to death, but he said nothing and turned around and ran away.

When Ye Qiu saw her like this, he laughed, "Is this a rejection? Or acquiesce?"

…………

…………

To be honest, after returning to the stadium, Ye Qiu and the players were shocked when they saw so many people suddenly on the sidelines. Not only them, but even the players of Eindhoven were scared.

There were so many people standing around the stadium, and slogans were shouting in their mouths, which put a lot of pressure on the players on the stadium.
To be continued...
