Chapter 50 Champion's Life(1/2)
In the dim living room, a TV video with rough quality is playing.
In the picture, the young Louis Van Gaal was smoking a cigarette in big mouthfuls. Although the rough picture quality made it difficult to see his specific expression, you can still guess the anxiety in his heart at this moment. Because the stalemate in the scene made him feel very difficult, and nicotine needed to relieve his emotions.
On the court, Ajax, wearing a red and black jersey, was fighting with AC Milan wearing a white jersey.
For nearly an hour and a half, no one could break through the opponent's goal and miss the goal countless times, which greatly consumed the enthusiasm of the players of the two teams, and even the fans in the stands.
Such a competition is more like a torture!
But as the winner who already knew the result, Van Prag in the living room was waiting patiently because he knew that an Ajax player would soon come out bravely, break the deadlock, and completely send AC Milan to the guillotine.
His name is Patrick Cruivett, and he was 18 years old that year.
"Cruivet, who came on the bench, dribbled the ball, and his pace was very big, and the defensive players around him were doing a physical run on him, which made him a little out of balance!"
"Oh, oh, Cruivet lost his balance, did he fall to the ground?"
But just when everyone thought Cruivet was about to fall to the ground, they didn't expect that the tall Dutch striker used his nearly half-kneeling and awkward way to stab the ball into AC Milan's goal with his left foot.
At that moment, all the Ajax fans in the audience were stunned, followed by the nearly tsunami cheers.
The young Cruivet rushed to the sidelines and accepted cheers and cheers from teammates, Ajax staff from the sidelines, and countless fans. This goal made him record in Ajax's history forever.
The picture is frozen on Van Gaal!
The cigarette between the index finger and middle finger burned out, but Van Gaal obviously forgot this and let the long assass break with his movement of standing up due to excitement and excitement. His movement of raising his arms also made Van Prager hold down the pause button, and the screen freezes.
Van Gaal on TV is very young, but he is 44 years old.
The mentality of a person is very strange. The more he is in a downturn, the more he likes to remember the glory of the past that no longer exists, and the easier it is to carry an unrealistic fantasy to find the glory of the past again.
Van Prague has watched this video in the past two or three years. Every time he watches it, he can find something different from it.
He also understood that perhaps it was not the video that brought him different stimulation, but his mood.
And what he watched was not the video, but the decision he made in 1991.
The living room suddenly became brighter, and Mrs. Van Prager appeared in the living room in her pajamas. She was a very traditional Dutch woman.
"Why don't you turn on the lights? Watching TV in the dark is not good for your eyes!"
Van Prager raised his head and looked at his wife. He was old, but he dared to say that there was no other person in this world who could understand him like her, so he patted the sofa seat beside him and let his wife sit down.
"Didn't you get a Dutch Cup?" The wife saw the TV screen, and she was too familiar with it.
Van Prager sighed, "Yes, I got the Dutch Cup, but it reminded me of a lot of things."
"Let me tell me!" The wife knew that what he needed to talk at this time.
"The one who won the Dutch Cup was the head coach of the second team, a young man who was only 25 years old."
The wife turned her head slightly, "The one you mentioned before is called...ye...qiu?"
Her Chinese pronunciation was awkward, and Van Prag couldn't help but be happy. He smiled and nodded, "It's him."
"So what?" the wife asked again.
Van Prager sighed again, "Early, he submitted his resignation to me, and now he is free."
"Why? Is the club not good enough for him?" the wife asked in confusion.
Van Prager shook his head, then explained Ye Qiu's explanation, and then looked at his wife quietly, as if waiting for something, or what he needed was support.
"If it were me, I should consider leaving too!" the wife nodded.
"Is that?" Van Prager smiled bitterly.
"What did Bobby say?"
Van Prager remembered the secret talks they had in the office of Arena Stadium during the day, when the second team was parading around the city. Bobby Hams did not give him any advice like in the past, because he felt that he could not understand Ye Qiu either.
"Bobi said that he has never seen anyone like Ye Qiu in his life who has made such rapid progress. He feels that with Ye Qiu's current strength, he has completely coached alone, and there are currently many Eredivisie teams who want to invite him to coach. I heard that Udrecht and Nijmegen have had some contact with him."
After hearing this, my wife felt relieved. After looking at her husband, she felt that it was time to say something.
"I remember the last time I met Bobby was at the team's centenary celebration. We lost that game. At that time, Bobby said something to me, and I was impressed. He said, what Ajax needed was a new chairman!"
A trace of anger flashed in Van Pragger's eyes. Didn't even the person he trusted the most no longer support him?
"I think Bobby's words are not about asking you to step down, but about telling me that what Ajax needs is not a chairman who always lives in the past and dares not accept reality bravely."
Van Prager heard this and was frustrated, but instead looked depressed.
"Michael, I think Ye Qiu is right. It will hurt to scrape off the rotten meat, but after the pain, the new meat will grow out quickly and will heal quickly. But if you keep it for fear of pain, the rotten meat will slowly spread and slowly swallow the body. It will be too late to wait for the day that is too late."
This was what Van Prager said when he heard Ye Qiu say, and later passed it on to his wife. Now, his wife uses this sentence to persuade him.
Sometimes, people hesitate not because they cannot tell the difference between right and wrong, but because they are not firm enough. Therefore, if someone comes to help him at this time, things may be a completely different situation.
After hearing this, Van Prager patted his wife's hand and nodded, "I know what to do!"

The next morning, as soon as Bobby Hams arrived in DeTok Most, a staff member immediately told him that the chairman had just arrived.
This made Bobby Hams stunned, and then went directly to the administrative office of Arena Stadium.
"Bobi!" Van Prager sat behind the desk. As soon as he saw Bobby Hams walk in, he immediately greeted him.
Bobby Hams could detect some changes from Van Pragger's eyebrows, which was a little strange.
"I heard that there are a few players from the second team preparing to transfer, aren't they?" Van Prag asked with concern.
Westhoff has resigned. Judging from his coaching performance in Ajax, he probably has no chance to coach alone. The Harris Huyzinger he brought has also been sent to the transfer market by the club. There are currently many teams who are interested in recycling, including Helenfin, but the price must be discounted.
The departure of Waters and Westhoff has caused a power vacuum to DeTok Most. In addition, the current first-team head coach is unsolved, and Leo Benhack continues to play soy sauce, so many things are delayed, or handed over to Bobby Hams to take charge.
"Yes, Kuru's request has been confirmed to submit a written application. He seems to be dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's replacement in the finals, and Van Drew also vaguely revealed that he could not be reused in Ajax."
"No team sense!" Van Prager shook his head.
After a pause, Van Prager looked at Bobby Hams, "Bobby, I have something I want to discuss with you!"
"You said!" Bobby Hams was sincere.
"If, I mean if, let you choose, Co Adriansey, or Ye Qiu?"
After hearing this, Bobby Hams raised his head and looked at Van Prague.
"Don't worry, I have no other meaning, I just want to hear your answer." Van Prager smiled.
Bobby Hams smiled, "That depends on what your goal is. In my opinion, Ko Adriance is best at training young players. Back then, he was in DeTok Most and Van Gaal in the first team, the two cooperated tacitly, which led to the revival of Ajax. I believe that the reason why you always wanted to invite him is because of this?"
Van Prager did not deny that his favor of Adrians was indeed a bit of the influence of the Van Gaal era.
It can be said that the reason why the Van Gaal era was able to emerge in many talents was inseparable from Adrians' excellence in De Tok Most, but everyone remembered Van Gaal, and no one paid attention to Adrians.
"Since Adrians coached alone over the years, I think he lacked the leadership temperament of leading the team to win the championship, and also lacked the ability to bring changes to the team at critical moments. So you see, William II, has made great progress, but so what? Have you won the championship?"
"From the ability of a head coach, Ye Qiu has no advantage in any aspect. He lacks experience, lacks experience, and even lacks the ability to guide players to make progress. But Ye Qiu is just a leader who can lead the team to win the championship. Look at the kids in the second team. Without Ye Qiu, they are just a mess. But with Ye Qiu, Eindhoven and Feyenoord can be killed. That's the difference!"
Bobby Hams's words did not clearly state who should be chosen, but instead analyzed the abilities and characteristics of the two.
Adriansey's coaching ability and qualifications naturally need not be said, but he lacks the life of a champion. There are not no such head coaches. On the contrary, there are many, just like Ranieri, who is called a pot-making maker, and this kind of tragic fate.
But Ye Qiu, at first glance, everything is bad, nothing is better than Adriansé, but don’t forget that coaching ability and coaching experience can continue to improve with accumulation. However, if you want to transform from a quasi-chair coach to a champion coach, that is a huge threshold. How many people can get through it?
Van Prag was silently thinking in his mind, and Bobby Hams was silently sitting opposite him, with the two of them saying nothing.
"Yesterday, Van der Fatt and Sneider, the second team players came to the office to meet me, and they talked about Ye Qiu. They all expressed their hope that the club can keep Ye Qiu."
Without waiting for Bobby Hams to answer, Van Pragher continued: "It was also in the past few days that the board of directors had begun to discuss secretly. They all felt that the current status of the club made the fans very dissatisfied. Therefore, if the team's performance does not improve in the future, they may even impeach me!"
With Van Prager's status in Dutch football, the board of directors may not impeach him, but it may also take the initiative to persuade him to leave, and then let him serve as a false position such as the honorary chairman of Ajax, and re-select someone with ability and courage to serve as chairman of Ajax.
"So..." Van Prager smiled, "If nothing unexpected happens, the head coach of the new season will be the last head coach I selected, and both prosper and lose both prosper and lose both prosper!"
The words were said very seriously, but they were said in a relaxed and freehand tone.
The more this happens, the more Bobby Hams sighed in his heart that the ambitious Van Prager was finally back. After so many things, he finally decided to take this step and bet boldly!
"Let's go and accompany me to meet Ye Qiu!"
Bobby Hams smiled after hearing this, "Then I'll call Van Dudder!"
"Why do you call him?" Van Prag was stunned.
Bobby Hams laughed, "We have an appointment to go to Ye Qiu's place to have a meal!"
…………
…………
Sometimes, this man is a group of foodies.
Ye Qiu just occasionally praised in front of them, saying that Huang Chu’s cooking was delicious. Unexpectedly, these guys didn’t get the chance on weekdays. Now that they were on holiday, they all started to find ways to come and have a free meal.
He said he was eating Chinese food, but this guy Rick Link brought a bottle of red wine. I'll take a look and drink red wine in Chinese?
Roland is even more amazing. He simply doesn't have anything to do with his hands and just says he has a mouth. It's shameless!
Ye Qiu's family only has two or three people on weekdays, and Roland occasionally comes to have a meal. In recent days, Eliza Moon has moved in, but it is still a bit deserted. Until today, when guests come, it becomes lively.
To be continued...
