Chapter 69(1/2)

The Cruyff Cup, or the Dutch Super Cup, is usually called the outpost of the Eredivisie, and is usually held a week before the opening of the Eredivisie at Arena Stadium in Amsterdam.

The game started at 18:00 pm, but throughout the afternoon, people were flooding around Arena Stadium.

Because it was Sunday, almost all Amsterdam fans either came to Arena Stadium and the surrounding shopping malls, or were guarding the TV at home, waiting for the arrival of this focus battle.

The battle between the league champion and the king of the cup, especially the battle between Eindhoven and Ajax, naturally attracted the attention of fans. Although many fans think that Ajax's strength has declined very much this season, Arena Stadium is still full.

But in terms of the atmosphere, it is not hot, and more Ajax fans still adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

However, when Ye Qiu's team appeared at Arena Stadium for warm-up and training before the game, the Ajax fans at the scene still heard a burst of warm applause, giving this newly reorganized young team some encouragement and support.

When Gretz brought Eindhoven, who was gathered in stars, walked out of the players' passage and came to the court to warm up, almost all Ajax fans in the game booed wildly. Obviously, they were very unhappy with this strongest competitor in Ajax in recent years, especially in combination with the series of provocations before the game between Arnes and Gretz.

As the host, Ye Qiu walked into the stadium in Eindhoven. When the players entered the training ground to warm up, they walked towards Gretz in front of the visiting team coach's seat with a kind smile on their faces.

"Welcome to Arena Stadium, Mr. Gretz!" Ye Qiu took the initiative to reach out and stretched out his hand.

"Thank you!" Gretz's smile was a little stiff, but out of etiquette, he still shook hands with Ye Qiu. This is the most standard politeness and demeanor. "I'm looking forward to waiting for you to look when you can't laugh, that must be very interesting!"

The last sentence is full of provocation and suppression.

Ye Qiu smiled, "I'm not looking forward to it, because to be honest, it's boring to be unpleasant to be unable to laugh!"

This is obviously an hinting that you were beaten so hard that I couldn't laugh at last season. Did you forget so quickly?

Ye Qiu doesn't like to verbal tricks, but this does not mean that he will not fight back.

"I hope you can continue to be so stubborn after the game!" Gretz smiled coldly, ignored him, turned around and looked at the stadium. This guy was really ungraceful and didn't even want to act at the minimum.

However, it can be seen from this that he has a straightforward personality.

The live TV camera on the sidelines captured the scene of the two head coaches shaking hands and was frozen on the live TV screen.

Gretz was wearing a simple and bleak suit that middle-aged people like, but Ye Qiu was not that serious. He was wearing a pair of black trousers, but a pure white shirt, with two buttons on the collar, and the cuffs of his left and right hands were pulled casually to his arms. The overall look was very casual and fashionable, which was very suitable for his youth.

"When the young Ajax head coach met the mature and steady coach Eindhoven, who won?" The commentator laughed and teased. He was afraid that the world would be in chaos and hoped to see the two of them get angry on the spot, but that was obviously impossible.

Ye Qiu knew that Gretz was not in the mood to deal with him, so he didn't stay much, so he turned around and walked back to the home team coach's seat.

"This is Eindhoven's starting list!" As soon as Roland saw Ye Qiu coming, he handed over a piece of paper.

Ye Qiu took it over, glanced at it, and handed it back to Roland, who immediately turned to Bobby Hams.

Goalkeeper Watrus; the defense is Boma, Nikiforov, Hofland and Oye, the midfield is Korka, Van Bomel, Voger and Romedal, and the double strikers are Brookingke and Kezhmann.

Eindhoven's starting lineup is not strictly surprising, because it is their strongest main lineup.

On the defense line, Bauma has good assists, while Oye has excellent defensive skills. The midfield is centered on Van Bomel, and Voger assists from the side, and the offensive advancement is more about running from two sides and supporting the middle.

In other words, Eindhoven's overall offensive routine is no different from last year, but the local position has become stronger.

For example, the combination of Bowma and Korka on the left is obviously more offensive than Heintze last season, and the joining of central defender Hofland has further enhanced the strength of Eindhoven's central defender combination. Now it depends on whether the cooperation between Hoffland and Nikiforov is tacit enough.

If we put aside the more than ten years of football knowledge that Ye Qiu knew in advance, in the eyes of everyone at present, Ajax's lineup cannot catch up with the strength and fame of Eindhoven's lineup even if he shoots ten horses.

This is why almost everyone is optimistic about Eindhoven once again.

There is a saying that is good, unpopular will only happen once!

While Ye Qiu got the starting lineup of Eindhoven, Gretz also took over Ajax's starting lineup from assistant coach Brandts.

Goalkeeper Grim, the defense line is Abidal, Kivo, Lucio and Heatinga, the three midfielders are Keita, Gilberto Silva and Sneider, and the front tridents are Robben, Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate.

This is also the strongest lineup configuration that Ye Qiu can rank, Ajax.

As soon as he saw this list, Gretz's first impression was that Ye Qiu still had to stick to the tactics of last season's defensive counterattack. This can be seen from the fact that he gave up the Brazilian player Macon, who had stronger offensive capabilities on the right and chose Heatinga, who had better defensive capabilities.

"I've been fooled once, and this time I will never let you do it again!" Gretz turned his head, and Ye Qiu also looked over. The two of them collided violently in the air, and a hot spark was sparking.

For them, this game must be won, and it is related to honor!

"This is our first game of the new season, and it is also the first time that our team has officially debuted in front of all fans at Arena Stadium after its reorganization!"

In the home team's locker room, Ye Qiu pointed to the stadium outside the locker room gate, and there was a faint noise from fans in the stands. "There are 50,000 Ajax fans gathered there, and they all support us to defeat our opponents and win a victory!"

After listening to the head coach's words, all the Ajax players in the locker room were silent and didn't speak.

Van der Fate, Kivo, Heatinga and others have played with Eindhoven once, and after experiencing the Dutch Cup last season, their enthusiasm and courage have improved a lot. They will be nervous, but they will not be nervous.

As for the newly joined players, Robben is a newborn calf, Gilberto Silva is confident and calm, while Ibrahimovic is a character of being covered with a covered character. Keita is naturally not nervous after being baptized by the Champions League and the French Ligue 1, so this group of Ajax players are still calm.

"Many people say that we will lose, and the reason they gave is that our strength and fame are far inferior to Eindhoven!"

Ye Qiu walked in the passage in the middle of the locker room, passing by the player, and his tone was calm and composed.

"I don't deny that our current strength and fame are far inferior to theirs, but it's just now!"

"I want to ask, did Hofland become famous two years ago? Did Van Bomel become famous in the early years? Brookingk, Kezhman, Korka, Romedal, Nikiforov, are they famous when they first debuted? Do they have the achievements and status they are today?"

Some people continued to remain silent, while others shook their heads secretly.

"I tell you that football is fair, strength and fame, so you have to rely on you to fight back with real swords and guns on the court. Now we are not as good as them, but if you kill them, they are not as good as us!"

Ye Qiu's words are very inflammatory, especially for this group of young people who are eager to become famous. It is definitely tempting enough to defeat Eindhoven and become famous all over the world.

"I never doubt my vision. I chose you to join Ajax because I am optimistic about your future. I always believe that Ibrahimovic will become the best center on the planet in the next few years; and I also believe that Van der Fate, Robben and Sneijder will become the pillars of the Dutch national team and become the famous top stars in European football."

"I have always believed that Lucio, you can become a Brazilian international and a Brazilian central defender, while Gilberto Silva and Macon, you will all become the most important members of the Brazilian national team."

"Givu, you've participated in the European Cup, but I think that's just the beginning. You can perform better. Abidal will become the backbone of the French national team's defense, and Keita will surely create his own world in European football."

"Everyone!" Ye Qiu swept over the group of young players one by one. When he said this, he almost blurted out his words. His words were full of unquestionable confidence, which made everyone a little convinced that what he said was true.

"I know that you have your own pursuits, and I know more clearly that for you, Ajax is just a transfer station in your life journey and a scenery in your career. In the future, you will have the opportunity to show your strength in higher-level leagues and larger and wider stages of wealthy teams!"

"But before that, everyone, play every game you play in Ajax and show your strength to the fullest. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to realize your dreams in your heart!"

Everyone was moved by Ye Qiu's words.

Let me ask, which professional player does not want to play in a giant team?

Which player doesn’t want to go to the top league so that fans around the world can remember their name?

Are all the players who join Ajax satisfied with Ajax?

"The Eindhoven outside is the most powerful team in the Netherlands. This is a pressure, but also a motivation, and a rare opportunity, because as long as we defeat them, it can prove that we have the strength to defeat the most powerful team in the Netherlands. From now on, who dares to look down on us? Who dares to despise us?"

"This is not a football game, everyone!" Ye Qiu stood in the head coach's position and pointed at the players on both sides of the locker room. "This is a war. If you lose, we will lose everything, but if you win, we will get the honor and pride we want!"

The ringtone in the locker room rang, which was a signal that the referee was urging the player to walk out of the locker room.

After hearing the ringtone, the players stood up one by one and stood in two rows.

"Let's go, brave Ajax fighters! Walk onto the court and defeat your opponents, and I'm invincible!"

…………

…………

When the two teams lined up in the middle of Arena Stadium, Ye Qiu sat in the home team coach's seat on the stadium, covering his mouth, and watching every move on the field.

With the referee's whistle, Eindhoven took the lead and launched a round of offensive against Ajax.

After kicking off, Brookingke and Kezman quickly knocked the ball back. After several passes, they came to Van Bomel's feet.

At this time, Korca on the left was already moving forward quickly and pressed onto Ajax's defense, while Brookingke and Kezhman were also ready to get in the middle to grab points and respond.

Van Bomel spent a season conquering Eindhoven fans and becoming the center of the midfield of the team. After getting the ball, he observed it and saw that Ajax defended very tightly against Korka's left side, and Sneider also approached him at the first time, so he immediately passed the ball to Vogel.

Voger had noticed that Romedal raised his hand to ask for the ball and was about to pass the ball, but Keita suddenly took the lead. He touched his body and made a foot, intercepting the ball and tripping at the same time. It was unclear whether he tripped Voger first or poking the ball first.

But there is no doubt that the referee blew the foul whistle.

Keita didn't know what was going on, smiled, reached out to pull Vorgere up, and turned around and walked back.

Romedal in front had already run out of the gap, but when he saw that the ball was not passed, he shook his head helplessly and returned to his side. He felt depressed. If the ball just passed, he could have many choices.

After the free kick was taken, Van Bomel gave Boma to the left, and the latter to Colca in front.

Colca faces Heatinga, one-on-one?

No, behind Heatinga, Sneijder also retreated to participate in the defense.

Just a glance, Korka noticed that Ajax's defense still maintained the strictness of the last season, and it can even be said to be more strict than last season, because the players have become more familiar with Ye Qiu's defensive system and their personal abilities have also been greatly improved.

Without further ado, just talk about Heatinga, the progress is obvious, and Lucio is also very imposing when he stands there.

Players who like one-on-one are usually very confident in their abilities, so Colka did not hesitate at all. After getting the ball, he swung away Hetinga with a fake move and suddenly broke out, quickly crossing Hetinga, dribbling the ball to the bottom line, attracting Lucio, and saw that Kivo and Abidal were staring at Brookingke and Kezhman in the penalty area, and he chose to pass the ball to the front of the penalty area by passing the ball.

Colka's choice is very smart and wise, and Van Bomel and Voger are also very conscious of inserting the back, but the problem is that there is a wall standing at the front of Ajax's penalty area!

Gilberto Silva rushed out of the penalty area steadily, and before everyone, he made a move to intercept the diagonal pass. After intercepting the ball, he quickly led forward.

"Counterattack, Ajax finally found an opportunity to counterattack!" the commentator on the scene shouted loudly.

Gilberto Silva's dribbling speed was not fast enough, and Van Bomel and Voger soon caught up behind him.

In order not to be caught up, Gilberto Silva passed to Van der Fate on the right.

Van der Fate threw away Boma and pulled the ball to the middle to get the ball. He took advantage of his back foot and turned sideways to Ibrahimovic who was retreating to respond. The Swedes blocked Hofland with his body. After receiving Van der Fate's pass, he took two steps back. Suddenly, he stopped urgently and held Hofland behind him with his body.
