Chapter 53

"Ye Qiu! Ye Qiu!"

The next morning, Ye Qiu was woken up by Huang Chu's knock on the door.

Sitting up straight from the bed, he wanted to fall asleep, but his mind began to wake up.

He walked into the bathroom dizzyly, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and changed into a straight suit. In the mirror, he immediately became a business person in suit and tie, but he still had a comfortable half-foot.

Today's football players basically like long hair. The most famous ones are the long hair of Argentine players, each of which is called elegant and elegant, so many fans and football practitioners also like long hair, but Ye Qiu thinks it is strange. On hot weather, isn't long hair hot?

Especially on the training ground, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Rick Link sweating and combing his long hair with sweat.

After breathing a deep breath, Ye Qiu turned around and walked out of the room.

"Did this guy get so excited that he can't sleep last night? I think it's 80% or he rarely gets up so late!"

Before I went downstairs, I heard a carefree voice. Needless to say, it must be Roland's big mouth.

"I'm working!" Ye Qiu reminded him in anger.

Huang Chu smiled. She was already used to the competition between Ye Qiu and Roland. She put a bowl of porridge for him, accompanied by fried dough sticks and vegetables. The breakfast was usually light, but the taste was still very good.

Ye Qiu swallowed a bowl of porridge, ate a fried dough stick, said goodbye to Huang Chu, and went directly to Roland's coquettish red POLO, heading straight to DTOK Most.

Because it is the suspension period, DeTok Most is very deserted, and there are many empty spaces in the parking lot.

After parking the car, Ye Qiu and Roland did not go to the second team's training building according to the route they were used to on weekdays, but went directly to the first team's training ground, right next to the second team's home court.

The first team training ground and the second team's home court are the same entrance, which is a bit like the factory gate and has a security room, but the door is a manual black square iron welding door. If there is no bus entering and leaving on weekdays, you will only open a small door that walks through.

"Ye Qiu!" The security guard and Ye Qiu were very familiar with each other, so they were not polite.

Ye Qiu is a man who has no airs on weekdays and can make friends with anyone from top to bottom. So even if he is on the first team now, he does not show the momentum of the first team head coach, because in his opinion, respect depends on strength to win.

"Bobby has arrived, right in your office!" said the security guard with a smile.

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu nodded and walked directly to the training building.

Ajax's training building faces the gate side, there are four large red English letters of Ajax, which are very conspicuous.

The building is divided into two sides. A layer of arc-top insulation panels are added on the roof of the second floor. The side close to the first team is slightly arched. It looks very distinctive and matches the overall layout of the training ground.

There are a series of facilities such as fitness room, equipment room, swimming pool, etc. on the first floor. The second floor is a player lounge, entertainment room and other facilities. The head coach and coaching staff's offices are also on the second floor. There is also a technical analysis room next to the coach's room. Two staff members have been arranged for a long time to analyze and organize all reports submitted by scouts for the head coach, especially the opponent's intelligence and tactical assessment of each game, etc.

The head coach's office is quite large, divided into two areas. One side is an office area, with an office, reception room, etc., and the other side is a lounge, which contains living facilities such as bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. Every day, a female employee is arranged to come to clean and clean.

When Ye Qiu walked into the office, Bobby Hams happened to be sitting on the sofa in the reception room watching TV.

"You're here!" Bobby Hams smiled and looked at Ye Qiu walking in.

"Bobi!" Ye Qiu greeted him politely. He knew very well that Bobi Hams must have said good things to him in front of Van Prager, otherwise he might not have been able to become the first team head coach.

Of course, he will not underestimate himself. What he can do today is due to strength.

"The administrative office just notified me that a press conference will be held in the afternoon to officially sign the contract. As you said before, we will hold a meeting of all the coaching team members in the morning, and you will be responsible for the new round of job arrangements." Bobby Hams said with a smile.

Ye Qiu had no objection, sat down on the sofa with Roland, took out a document from his briefcase, and handed it to Bobby Hams, "This is the team plan I have planned for a while, you can take a look."

Bobby Hams was not surprised, because he had been looking for Ye Qiu these days and knew that Ye Qiu had been preparing this plan and had discussed some things with him, so he opened it directly to take a look.

"I don't have much problem with continuing to maintain the 433 tactics. You know, I'm not very good at it on the tactical level, but as you said, the problem of Ajax traditional 433 is on the wing, so how do you plan to solve this problem?"

Ye Qiu smiled, "Two methods, one is to move the defense line forward, and the other is to introduce outstanding wing players."

After hearing this, Bobby Hams immediately watched the many details mentioned by Ye Qiu in the plan.

Moving the defense line forward will reveal the problem, but Ye Qiu also gave his own solution in this plan, that is, appropriately strengthen the pressing and pressure in the midfield, and at the same time introduce powerful players in the midfield.

"This can really solve the problem, but have you considered the transfer fee?" Bobby Hams asked with a wry smile.

Nowadays, Ajax's biggest problem is that it is unable to give a sufficient transfer fee. Van Prager has made it clear before that all players can sell it as a transfer fee, but the club can only give a transfer fee of $5 million for the time being. However, he also promised that once the European Cup is over, after the agreement on some sponsorships, it can be appropriately added, but no more than $8 million.

If it were someone else, it might be difficult to operate, but for Ye Qiu, this is not a problem at all.

"Don't worry, Bobby, I have considered this aspect, so I have two ideas. Selling people and signings are carried out at the same time. In terms of selling people, I decided to start with some players with less attractiveness. If you sign, I have basically got a goal. You can wait and see!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Bobby Hams didn't think much about it. Ye Qiu introduced Hunterlaal before, but the striker performed very well. Abidal's progress was also very great, especially his performance on the defensive end and his personal tactical qualities, which were all very obvious.

Ye Qiu once suggested that Westhoff introduce Kevin Hofland from Fortuna Sitade, but Westhoff did not do so later. Now Hofland performed well in the Dutch Eredivisie and was directly signed into the defending champion of the Dutch Eredivisie by Eindhoven in a free transfer. This was also a great regret for many Ajax scouts, because Ajax lacks a central defender now.

However, after these incidents, Bobby Hams trusted Ye Qiu's vision very much. At least he felt that Ye Qiu could almost always win, and the quality of the players he introduced was very good.

"In addition, for the club, I have limited personal energy. I plan to hand over DeTok Most to Rick Link to fully responsible. In addition, you and Leo Benhack look at it. I believe there should be no problem, and I will put all my energy into the first team."

This is also impossible. A person's energy is limited. If you spend too much energy on the youth training camp, you will inevitably reduce your investment in the first team. Ye Qiu feels that this is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

"Okay, DeTok Most, I will watch it for you!"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and said, "But you are indispensable to the first team, so, Bobby, you are more capable than you do!"

"By the way, what do I have mentioned to you before, the idea of ​​enriching coaching in the first team?"

Bobby Hams nodded with a smile, "I have talked with Marco and Danny separately. They have now applied for coaching training classes and are willing to go to the team for internships, and accumulate some practical experience while learning."

Marco is Marco Van Basten, and Danny is the old captain Danny Blind. They are now participating in coaching training classes, and they are all in Amsterdam, and they even often come to Ajax to walk around, so Ye Qiu wants to bring them into the first team to be their deputy.

Not to mention anything else, as an excellent shooter, Van Basten trains the shooting skills of several forwards in the team, which is ideal, and Blinder, as a defender, can also help the team's defenders.

More importantly, they are all former masters of Ajax. With their joining, they can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts in such a turbulent moment of team reorganization.

"That's good. Find an opportunity. Please help me meet them. Van Basten is my idol!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Bobby Hams also agreed with a smile, and was not surprised by Ye Qiu's words.

How many people who like football don’t like Van Basten?

In addition to these two club merits, goalkeeper coaches and physical coaches are ready-made. Ye Qiu also plans to introduce two more assistants, and he has already had goals. However, due to the identity of the second team's head coach, the coaching staff was limited, so Ye Qiu did not take action, so he naturally won't miss it anymore.

After receiving the support of Bobby Hams, Ye Qiu's power distribution at the coaching staff meeting in the morning went smoothly.

Club chairman Van Prager and technical director Leo Benhack also attended the meeting. The former was to support Ye Qiu, while the latter was to hand over the power. He directly released the scouting department and his own power related to competition, and Ye Qiu took it all.

In this way, Ye Qiu became the top leader in Ajax's athletics field, and was considered a real power player.

This also made all the coaches present at the venue feel deeply the importance Van Pragg attached to Ye Qiu. After all, Ye Qiu had just won a Dutch Cup for the team, and he was still taking the second team. The hot stir outside had not cooled down. At this time, Ajax struck while the iron was hot and directly helped Ye Qiu to the position. There was no big surprise.

However, Ye Qiu did not carry out too many personnel reforms, but only handed over the position of DeTok Most's youth training supervisor to Bobby Hams. No one would have any opinions. Super Bobby's reputation and status in Ajax is not a joke, and Ricklink is the head coach and deputy director of the second team.

Everyone can see that Bobby Hams is just a cover, and Rick Link is the real person in charge of DeTok Most.

In addition, Ye Qiu did not make any other changes. He just kept Bobby Hams, Ricklink, Roland, the scouting department, and the transfer department after the meeting, and negotiated the transfer operation this summer. Ye Qiu also gave his latest instructions, that is, no one who was leaving was left.

This also made everyone present feel Ye Qiu's courage. At least which young head coach dared to do this when he came on stage?

Of course, not staying is not staying, but Ye Qiu still requires the transfer department to operate patiently based on the principle of maximizing interests, especially the European Cup this summer is about to ignite the war, and some international players participating in the European Cup will inevitably increase their value. Of course, such a good opportunity cannot be missed.

After all the meetings, Ye Qiu called Eliza and then went to the administrative office of Arena Stadium with Bobby Hams. It was mainly about the club's fiscal budget and other matters, and it was not very important.

The real vital interests are the transfer budget and the salary budget. Among them, people from the Ministry of Finance said that if the salary budget can be reduced, the transfer budget can be appropriately increased. The specific situation depends on the financial situation at that time.

The meeting was held until the afternoon. After the meeting, Ye Qiu went directly to attend the press conference.

…………

…………

As the European Cup approaches, Amsterdam gathers news media workers from all over the world.

After Ye Qiu led the second team to the Dutch Cup championship, the team's every move attracted the attention of the outside world, especially the domestic media in the Netherlands. Everyone was concerned about whether the young Chinese coach who created the history of the Dutch Cup really wanted to leave Ajax.

Therefore, when Ajax sent out the invitation fax, major newspapers came to the news, and even many newspapers and media that did not receive the invitation took the initiative to come to the press conference venue of Arena Stadium.

Everyone knows in their hearts that this is the first time Ajax's new head coach has made his debut.

Because it was the first time, they all felt the weight.

In the front row of the press conference, Bobby Hams, Van Basten, Blinder and other club meritorious officials came to the venue. At the same time, Ajax's head of news departments also came to the venue in person. In his subsequent appearance, Ye Qiu walked out with the club chairman Van Prager and technical director Leo Benhack.

With this situation, among the past two or three Ajax head coaches, who has ever received such treatment?

"It seems that Van Prague has really put all his hopes on this Chinese Qiu!"

This has become a consensus among all the reporters.

Under the witness of reporters, the two sides signed a three-year contract, and Ye Qiu will receive a weekly salary of 10,000 yuan after tax, which is the highest salary in the Ajax Club, but it has not been announced to the public. Otherwise, I believe the reporters will be shocked again.

After signing the contract, Chairman Van Prager said in an interview with reporters that the management had high hopes for Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu has proved his coaching ability and level with his performance in the Netherlands Cup. We all believe that he can bring earth-shaking changes to the team in the next three years. We all believe that he can lead the team to success!"

Van Pragger's words did not arouse the response of the reporters on the scene, because when Waters came on stage, he also said so, but now it's Ye Qiu.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, Ajax's first team has performed poorly this season. After the season, he ranked 8th in the standings and missed the European competition. In the end, he still relied on the second team you led to win the Dutch Cup before barely entering the League Cup. What do you think about this personally?" A reporter stood up and asked with concern.

"I think this is normal. The performance of any team will definitely fluctuate. We did encounter some problems last season, but I believe that Ajax players are definitely still capable. I believe that in the new season, we can prove ourselves again!"

"Mr. Ye Qiu, but there are many news outside that Ajax is gradually becoming a player supermarket. I heard that many players have submitted transfer applications. Will you retain them after you take office?"

Ye Qiu smiled and he had already prepared his words, "I have talked to many players, I have told them the team's goals, I promise that Ajax will be a team full of ambitions and combat effectiveness in the new season. They are willing to stay and continue to compete for the team. After I took office, the first thing I did is to stabilize the club's skeleton and ensure the team's combat effectiveness!"

The subtext of this statement is that I am not going to sell anyone!

The group of reporters below were immediately in an uproar because Ye Qiu's statement was obviously different from the news they received.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, although you led the team to win the Dutch Cup, I believe there are still many Ajax fans who don't know you and know you. Can you introduce yourself?"

"Of course!" Ye Qiu nodded with a smile, "I am from China. I like to win and not lose. So my goal and purpose are to ensure that the team will do their best to win every game, so I like players who have the same goals and beliefs as me."

Several reporters at the scene applauded, obviously all Ajax fans, who gave Ye Qiu an applause for this statement. After all, Ye Qiu defeated Eindhoven, Feyenoord and Helenfen last season and was definitely qualified to say that now.

"Where is outside the court?" a reporter stood up again and asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu didn't hide it, "Outside the court, I am an ordinary person like everyone else, nothing special, but no matter what, I hope everyone will pay more attention to me on the court, not Ye Qiu outside the court!"

After hearing this, the reporters at the scene couldn't help but smile. Naturally, they could not have been as good as Ye Qiu's wish. They were all ready. Next, they were going to dig three feet into the ground to collect all Ye Qiu's information.

For example, is he married? Who is his girlfriend? How many family members do he have? What do he like to do on weekdays? What are his amateur interests and hobbies, etc.

I believe that all Ajax fans are very interested in learning about these!
