The first round of the Eredivisie in the 00/01 season at Arena Amsterdam was not only the first professional league game of the 25-year-old Ye Qiu coaching career, but also the first official professional game in the 36-year-old Henk Duter.

Henk Duter, who once played for Feyenoord and Fortunasidade, had not had a brilliant career, but as local media introduced, in the Netherlands, quite a lot of head coaching careers were lackluster, but their coaching resumes were very successful.

Since Duter announced his retirement in 1992, he has worked directly in the youth training camp and coaching team of Fortuna Sitade. He is in charge of the first team this summer and is ambitious to lead Fortuna Sitade to stop the decline in the past two years.

After leaving the main central defender Kevin Hofland, although he failed to get even a cent transfer fee, Duter received support from the board of directors and vigorously introduced a group of players with good strength and rich experience, including 31-year-old midfielder Van Haster, who was introduced from Ajax.

This veteran who was swept out by Ye Qiu was fully trusted and affirmed by Duter, believing that Van Haster will play a key role in Fortuna Sitard's away challenge to Ajax, and his team will inevitably take advantage of the outstanding performance of the warm-up match to defeat Ajax in one go.

But it is obvious that Ye Qiu's team gave him a wake-up call from the beginning.

Losing Kevin Hofland, Fortuna Sitard's defense lacks the most important piece of puzzle.

When the game just started, Ajax launched an attack from the right, Van der Fate and Macon cooperated with two passes and one. When the Brazilian right back passed the penalty area, Ibrahimovic used his body to suppress Fortuna Sitade's central defender. After stopping the ball, he turned around and suddenly shot. The ball was slightly off and almost penetrated Fortuna Sitade's goal.

This shot also shocked Fortuna Sitade into a cold sweat.

But this was just the beginning. After that, Ajax successfully pushed the defense line forward, resolutely implemented Ye Qiu's defensive strategy of besieging the city and attacking aid, and then took advantage of the offensive convenience brought by high-level defense to launch a fierce attack on Fortuna Sitade.

In the 8th minute, after Sneider got the ball in the midfield, he saw Van der Fate running and cutting from the right, and immediately passed the ball directly to his feet. The latter stopped the ball at the right side of the penalty area and rushed into the penalty area. Before the opponent's central defender intercepted, he made a low shot with his left foot, and he actually penetrated the goal guarded by former Barcelona goalkeeper Luther Hesp, 1:0!

Van der Fate's goal completely ignited the passion for Ajax's game, especially the Ajax fans who came to the stands were even more excited by Van der Fate's goal, and they all cheered loudly.

After breaking the deadlock on the court, Ajax began to slow down the offensive appropriately, but Ye Qiu's team still used high defense to exert strong pressure on Fortuna Sitade. In the 26th minute, Robben on the left quickly broke through one-on-one and then stopped and knocked back. Keita made a reshoot at the front of the penalty area, which once again pierced through Fortuna Sitade's goal, rewrite the score to 2:0!

The 2-goal lead made Ajax's morale boost, but the visiting team never found a way to effectively curb Ajax. They could only adopt a defensive counterattack strategy, first stabilize the defense line, and then slowly plot against the attack.

After Fortuna Sitad locked the 30-meter area, Ajax still created a lot of opportunities, but it was still a little worse, especially Swedish striker Ibrahimovic missed several good opportunities to score.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Ye Qiu saw that Ibrahimovic still failed to improve. In the 55th minute, he replaced Ibrahimovic with Van der Med, and used Van der Fatra to play the forward and Van der Med to play the right winger.

This adjustment completely revitalized Ajax's frontcourt trident.

First in the 61st minute, Van der Fate got the ball back, assisted Robben to enter the penalty area from the left and made a low shot. Then Van der Fate himself got a cross from Van der Med in the 74th minute. He swung past the opponent's central defender and broke through Hesp's goal again. Finally, Macon assisted Van der Med to score the team's fifth goal in this game.

5:0, Ajax's new season premiere at Arena Stadium completely suppressed Fortuna Sitade and won a hearty victory, which made all the more than 30,000 Ajax fans who came to watch the game on site were completely crazy and excited.

He defeated Eindhoven and won the Dutch Super Cup, defeated Fortuna Sitade 5-0 in the first round of the new season. In two consecutive games, Ajax's performance made all those who love this team feel unbelievable and praised it.

No one had ever thought that this team with the youngest average age in the Eredivisie could have such outstanding performance.

At the same time, Eindhoven, who had just been defeated by Ajax in the Dutch Super Cup, was unexpectedly sniped by Grafsharp in the first game of the league and suffered a 0:2 defeat. Gretz's team obviously has not been able to withdraw from the shadow of the Dutch Super Cup defeat.

Although Feyenoord defeated Alkmaar 2:0, this did not prevent Ajax, who won 5:0 in the first round, from successfully ascending to the leader of the Eredivisie League. Almost all the Dutch media and newspapers gave Ajax generous praise and praise for Ajax's first round performance.

Only Ye Qiu said in an interview with reporters and media after the game that the team's performance was not as outstanding as the outside world, and it was somewhat lucky to win such a victory, but he also admitted that the players worked hard to show their best side.

A week later, Ajax was at home for Rotterdam Sparta.

With a big victory in the first game, Ajax lost 0:1 to Van Hanehen's team away.

This head coach, who was once familiar with Ye Qiu because he was on the national team's coach selection list, had a special exchange with Ye Qiu before the game and talked about Ajax's outstanding performance in the first round. However, in the game, his team made Ajax suffer a lot and was defeated by a counterattack by the opponent.

After the game, the Dutch Daily Telegraph published a comment saying that Ajax died on his old problems.

"In the field of professional coaching, Ye Qiu is a complete newcomer. He led the second team to the Dutch Cup championship magically, but he never paid attention to it. The guarantee of leading the team to win the championship is steel-like defense. After taking charge of Ajax's first team, he obviously has a surge in ambitions. He wants to get more, not only victory, but also praise."

"In order to pursue victory, he always blindly presses the defense line forward, but once the attack is curbed and resisted, the high risk behind their defense line brought by pressing forward and behind will become fatal than ever. The goal conceding in this game against Sparta Rotterdam was born in this situation."

"The 5-0 victory over Futuna Sitad in the first round covered up many problems, which also made Ye Qiu and his Ajax a little lost. They were a little blindly arrogant and thought that their strength was enough to challenge everything. Rotterdam's defeat undoubtedly gave him a wake-up call and told him a cruel fact: You are still very young, young Chinese!"

In a program about the Eredivisie recorded by Rotterdam Regional TV station, the impression of Ye Qiu, the head coach who led the team to defeat Feyenoord last season and won the Dutch Cup championship was very bad. In this program, they even specially made a short film.

In the short film, Ye Qiu was blowing the balloon, but Van Haneheng walked over, picked up a golf club, swung it hard, and directly blew the ball, and even knocked Ye Qiu's face down. The host of the show was laughing and making fun of Ye Qiu.

"Maybe you are very ambitious and know how to blow balloons, but it's useless. After coming to Rotterdam, you burst out with a bang!"

"But we must congratulate Ye Qiu, because he is the best footballer in China's history, because he once occupied the leading position in the Eredivisie standings. Even if it is only 7 days, this is a miracle!"

"And we can tell him that you will not have the same chance in the future!"

Because, after the second round of the league, Ajax, who had won and lost, quickly dropped to 6th place, while Feyenoord of Rotterdam won two consecutive victories, firmly occupying the league leader.

"They... are too much!"

When Huang Chu saw the newspaper reports and saw the TV program on the TV station that was specially used to sarcasm and mock Ye Qiu, he was very angry for Ye Qiu. Eindhoven TV even selected Ye Qiu as the most tragic figure in the second round of the league, because he lost the position of the league leader.

These are all accompanied by some unscrupulous jokes and entertainment attitudes that Western media are good at, but what is deeper is their satire and disdain for Ye Qiu, because they never believed that a 25-year-old Chinese could lead Ajax to make a difference.

Prejudice and discrimination are obvious.

When he came to the Netherlands, Huang Chu understood in his heart that there were many people here who looked kind on the surface, without prejudice or discrimination, but in their hearts, they still carried their unique arrogance of Europeans, as well as discrimination and disdain for people of color, especially in the fields of sports and football.

Just take a look at this and you will know how many head coaches of color coaches in European football!

"I expected it long ago!" Ye Qiu looked very plain and had no intention of getting angry or angry about it.

Huang Chu was a little worried about him, but seeing that he was so calm, it seemed nothing was wrong and didn't know what to do for a moment, "Are you not angry at all?"

"Angry?" Ye Qiu nodded, "Of course, I'm very angry, but I know why they did this."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled slightly, "They and even their government use Allochtoon and Atuochtoon to distinguish them from outsiders and pure Dutch people. As long as you have a blood relationship with your ancestors, even if they do not belong to the Netherlands, you belong to Allochtoon, and then those Atuochtoons can always look down at you with a high eye!"

"They take it for granted that they are the best, and all Allochtoons are not as good as them. This is a deep-rooted bias and there is no way to eliminate it, so many people have proposed to ask the government to abolish these two words, but what after the abolition? Will they find other words that also have derogatory meanings to replace it. Is it useful?"

Huang Chu was silent. Although many people felt that studying and living in the Netherlands did not encounter much discrimination or prejudice, it was based on the fact that you did not touch the interests and pains of some people. Once you have this ability, they will attack you without hesitation.

It's like Ye Qiu, who beat Eindhoven, defeated Feyenoord, won the Dutch Cup and the Dutch Super Cup. If it were a Dutch white man, there wouldn't be any problem and might even be praised as a star of hope. However, Ye Qiu is a Chinese, this is not possible and many people cannot accept it.

So, when Ye Qiu and Ajax perform well, they will remain silent, but once they perform poorly or encounter problems, they will jump out like monsters and monsters, try every means to disgust you and attack you with words.

Of course, it is not to say that all Dutch people are like this, but at least many people who appear in the newspapers have such discrimination.

"In my opinion, they like to say what they like to say, what they like to do, let them do it, and if they have the ability, they will go to Amsterfen District to make trouble, and I will call the police and ask the police to arrest them."

"A person's power is limited, so it is useless for you to reason and justify them, because they have the so-called freedom of speech. The best way to fight back against these people is to use absolute strength and iron-like facts to defeat them, so that they can completely reflect and regret everything they have done today."

When he said this, Ye Qiu put on a naughty expression, "I still remember that our ancestor Mencius said that people will humiliate themselves and later in the world. Therefore, if you want to no longer be looked down upon, you have to strive for self-improvement!"

Seeing that this annoying guy was still intent on dropping the book bag, Huang Chu couldn't help but glar at him with his eyes, but after only a few seconds, he couldn't help but giggle and wondered in his heart. Why did such serious words fall into Ye Qiu's mouth but become so inappropriate?

However, Huang Chu still admires and trusts Ye Qiu's self-improvement. She believes that Ye Qiu must have a way to solve the current dilemma, and she herself cannot explain what confidence comes from.

After seeing Huang Chu off, Ye Qiu's smile gradually calmed down and he sighed deeply.

He did make a serious mistake before, that is, he is a bit underestimating the abilities of the professional league and those professional coaches.

The problem exposed by Ajax is not new when losing to Rotterdam Sparta. The team's offense is still unfavorable, the midfield coverage area is too large, and the control power is declining, which then leads to the gap behind the defense line moving forward and is used by the opponent.

Ye Qiu, Bobby Hams and others studied for a long time, but they still couldn't find an effective solution to the problem. After playing Eindhoven, he played Fortuna Sitade again, but in that game Duter's team fought against Ajax, resulting in a big victory.

This made Ye Qiu a little numb, thinking that the team's problem was covered up.

But who would have thought that when playing against Rotterdam Sparta, Van Hanehen, the old guy who looked pretty good, would wisely take advantage of Ajax's problem and use it to arrange a defensive counterattack, which led to Ajax's defeat.

"Professional coaches rely on this to make a living. All their energy is studying their opponents, so why didn't they notice it?"

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and laughed at himself. The problem was discovered by his opponent, but he still couldn't find an effective solution to the problem. This is indeed a bit sad. Moreover, he has only lost one game now, and he can still hold on with the pre-season Super Cup championship. If he can't find a way after a while, the pressure he is under ten times or a hundred times greater than now.

In the past period, Ye Qiu has read many professional books and many works by famous coaches in the past and future, many of which are about high-level defense, but none of them are suitable for the current Ajax situation.

In other words, the problems Ajax is currently facing, looking at the history of football, is the only one!

However, this is not difficult to guess. The players' technical characteristics, different football backgrounds, different team tactical systems, and different personnel configurations and responsibilities allocations, which naturally lead to problems and solutions encountered by other teams, making it difficult to adapt to the current Ajax problem.

Ye Qiu finally understood that everyone can learn these routine football theories and only become the foundation of becoming a head coach, and it is impossible to guarantee that you will become a qualified professional head coach. Especially if you want to gain a foothold in the European League, you need to have your own football knowledge and understanding.

Only in this way can the team encounter problems similar to those Ajax is currently facing, and these head coaches who have their own understanding of football and tactics can come up with effective solutions to the problem, and must be timely.

Once the league starts, the competition will be played one after another. It is impossible to give you relaxed adjustment time, nor can you think slowly and solve problems slowly. If you cannot find the most effective solution in the shortest time, the team's performance will inevitably be affected, and you may have been fired before thinking about the solution.

When Ye Qiu was a fan in his previous life, he thought the head coach too simply. When he saw some head coaches being fired for poor performance, he naturally thought that they were parallel and had poor abilities. But in fact, he may not be because of his lack of ability, but maybe he just encountered a problem that could not be solved in a short period of time.

This explains why there are so many head coaches who change teams and their coaching results are very different.

This also made Ye Qiu re-examine the role of the Godfather's cultivation system. This is more of an auxiliary, and it is not possible to help a head coach start from scratch to becoming a world-renowned coach. If you want to get to this point, the key is to rely on yourself.

After thinking about this, Ye Qiu ignored the outside world's ridicule and humiliated him, and threw himself into the study room with all his thoughts.

He decided not to read the works of famous coaches and not to learn the methods of famous coaches. Instead, he carefully sorted out Ajax's 433 high-level defensive system from beginning to end, hoping to find an effective solution to the problem.
