When Ye Qiu, who was wearing a straight casual shirt and black trousers, appeared at the press conference hall of Arena Stadium with Van der Sar and Van Prag, the spotlight flashed frequently, and everyone pointed the camera at Ye Qiu and the other two.

The host introduced the purpose of this press conference to all the reporters present, which was to witness the signing of Van der Sar and Ajax, which undoubtedly confirmed that Van der Sar will belong to Ajax in the next four years.

"I'm very, very happy that Edwin is a goalkeeper with great strength and level. I don't think he should be criticized for his experience at Juventus, because that's not the real Van der Sar, so I'm convinced that he will have an impressive performance when he returns to Ajax and back to this place he is familiar with!"

When Ye Qiu was interviewed by reporters, he smiled and expressed his expectations for Van der Sar's future.

"We are a very young team, but precisely because we are young, we need to have an experienced veteran to lead the team. I have to thank Fred Grim, our team last season. He did a good job in the team. Now, I hope Edwin can continue to play the role of the main goalkeeper of the European Championship in the team!"

Ye Qiu's affirmation of Van der Sar was not beyond the expectations of the reporters present, because everyone already knew that Van der Sar was introduced to Ajax by Ye Qiu himself, and it was not the idea of ​​the board of directors, because in the current Ajax power system, the board of directors' power in the field of football competition is even worse than Ye Qiu.

"Edwin, first of all, welcome you back to Eredivisie. Can you tell me how you view your trip to Italy in the past two years, and how do you evaluate the new head coach Mr. Ye Qiu and his next position in Ajax?"

Van der Sa sat next to Ye Qiu, looked at the head coach, and smiled, "I think the trip to Italy in the past two years has been a wrong adventure, because I feel very uncomfortable whether it is the team's tactical style or communication with the outside world, maybe it is because this is my first time playing football abroad."

"I am very grateful to the head coach Mr. Ye Qiu. When I was hesitant and confused about staying in Turin, he and Ajax extended their hands to me, so I returned to Amsterdam and Ajax. The moment I stepped onto DeTok Most and Arena Stadiums, I had a feeling, a feeling of going home!"

"I firmly believe that under the leadership of Mr. Ye Qiu, Ajax will definitely perform better and better, because we not only have a group of very excellent talented players, but also an excellent talented head coach!"

"Mr. Ye Qiu!" A reporter stood up sneered, "You introduced a goalkeeper who performed poorly at Juventus with the highest transfer fee in Ajax's history. Do you think this is an adventure?"

Ye Qiu recognized this. This was a reporter from Italy, so he smiled and shook his head, "I never thought it was a risk, because I always thought that Edwin performed poorly in Juventus. It was not a problem with the player's strength, but a problem with the team. This reminded me of a person, Henry!"

This counterattack came very sharply, and some people present even applauded and cheered.

Although Moji has always been regarded as the smartest club operator in Serie A, he seems to be a little dizzy recently. Especially after Juventus reached its peak at the end of the last century, the Zebras were always in a very awkward state. Many players did not play in Juventus, but instead performed very well after turning to his team, the most typical of which was Henry.

He performed poorly at Juventus and went to Arsenal and was immediately at its peak.

"Do you think Van der Sar's switch to Ajax will be like Henry's transfer to Arsenal?" The reporter was still unconvinced.

"I will prove this with facts!" Ye Qiu replied with a confident smile.

"Then we will wait and see!" The reporter sat down angrily.

Although Van der Sar performed poorly at Juventus, his value was there. Juventus refused to drop, and Ajax finally had to choose to accept it, so the transfer fee was as high as 7.5 million euros, which has created the highest price in Ajax in history.

Fans generally affirmed the team's heavy investment in Vandersa, and the five-member board of directors also supported it. Ye Qiu's recruitment rate has an almost 100% success rate. Judging from the group of players he introduced before, almost every one of them has become Ajax's capable opponents. Therefore, since he thinks that Vandersa is worth this price, no one can refute it.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, this is the last question. We are all looking forward to it. After introducing Van der Sar, will Ajax continue to take action in the transfer market? Do you have any new goals?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "I can say with certainty that Edwin is the last perfect puzzle in my tactical board picture. Our transfer signings this summer end here. We will not conduct other transfer operations. Next, we will start pre-season preparations for the new season."

Ending the transfer operation before preparing for the season is also a strategy that Ye Qiu likes very much, because this will allow the team to be more attentive when preparing for the training, so as to save players from worrying about transfers and not being able to devote themselves to preparing for the game.

Ajax's mission is very heavy for preparation this summer.

Preparation will begin in mid-July. The team will hold a two-week closed training camp in Amsterdam, then play a warm-up match, and then hold a training camp. The Amsterdam Cup will be held at the end of the month and early August.

The other three teams invited by this year's Amsterdam Cup are from Serie A, Premier League and La Liga, namely AC Milan, Valencia and Arsenal, which is also the two consecutive years of Arsenal participating in the Amsterdam Cup.

Originally, Ye Qiu was considering inviting a Bundesliga team, because what Ajax had to face in the European Super Cup was Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, but in the end, because he was a little in line with the schedule, he had to give up.

According to the customs of the Amsterdam Cup, Ajax has encountered AC Milan and Arsenal one after another. After the cup, Ajax will play another warm-up match with Valencia, and the schedule of the three games is kept very compact.

After playing this series of warm-up matches, the team made a slight adjustment and ushered in the Dutch Super Cup, which was the Cruyff Cup. The opponent was still Eindhoven, and a week later, it officially ignited the battle in the Eredivisie.

The showdown between Ajax and Eindhoven, the Eredivisie, was arranged at the end of November. The showdown between these two teams has also become the most eye-catching game in the Eredivisie this season. Last season, Ajax wrote a humiliation on Eindhoven's championship journey. Now Eindhoven is vowing to avenge his previous shame.

Ajax lost the league championship at the last moment, and Ye Qiu and his players are also determined to win back the glory of the Eredivisie championship they have won.

After playing two rounds of the Eredivisie, Ajax will also participate in the European Super Cup and Bayern Munich matches, followed by the European Champions League group stage draw. This is also the first time Ye Qiu led the team to participate in the European Champions League and the first time he attended the lottery event.

But all of this is a future matter, and Ye Qiu must solve a problem next.

…………

…………

Everyone who has been in DeTok Most for a long time knows that Bobby Hams is praised by everyone as a super Bobby, but this fat old man is not a workaholic, especially after Ye Qiu took charge of the team, he is more like a consultant role, and being lazy has become his main label.

If you want to find him, there are only two places. One is the coaching room on the second floor of the first team training building, he should be watching TV; the other is the medical department in the second team training area, where he came to chat with Van Dude.

Sometimes I really should admire the stubborn and even stubborn routines of the elderly.

"Oh, you're here just in time, I'm going to find you!"

As soon as Van Dude saw Ye Qiu walking into the door, he almost didn't send him to Lord Bao's court.

"What's the matter?" Ye Qiu asked with a strange smile.

Van Dude spread his hands towards Ye Qiu, "You kidnapped my apprentice away. Now I am doing everything big and small here. What should I do?" Seeing his blushing expression, Ye Qiu could feel his threat.

Look at Bobby Hams laughing from ear to ear. Ye Qiu knew in his heart that the most depressed thing about Van Dude was not that Huang Chu left, because Huang Chu went to Cambridge University to study, which was of great benefit to Huang Chu, and Van Dude was also very supportive. The key is that he is the only one in the medical department now, busy and has no time to chat with Bobby Hams.

"Maybe, I should find something for Bobby!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Van Dud was stunned, and Bobby Hams opposite him laughed and scolded, "What's the matter with me? Is it him complaining to you, okay?"

Seeing the old fat man crying for justice, Ye Qiu smiled, "If you didn't seduce him every day, would he complain?"

Bobby Hams said nothing at all, because it was indeed the truth.

The two have a close relationship. After all, they have worked in Ajax for so many years and have formed an extremely deep friendship with each other.

Think about it carefully, the whole world can devote decades of life to Ajax like them. How many such people are there?

Seeing that Ye Qiu was caught by his weakness and weakness, Van Dude shook his head helplessly, "No wonder Bobby said it was useless. You are just a cold-blooded guy. I will definitely tell Huang Chu!"

Ye Qiu laughed, not because he was afraid that he would go to Huang Chu to say bad things, "Okay, I agree, Pim, let's hire two more assistants, you can choose it yourself, I don't care, just hand it over to me to sign at that time!"

Now Ye Qiu not only controls DeTok Most's player transfer, but also holds the power of personnel appointment and removal.

Ajax's medical system is actually not entirely dependent on the medical department. Each echelon has a supporting team doctor, one of the younger age, two of the older age group, and four of the first team. Among them, three of the four first team doctors have their own private clinics outside, and one is a permanent club working with the team.

Ye Qiu also invited Peter Brandt to become the team's physical fitness coach and specially formed a player physical test group for him, which made many first-team players without going through the medical department.

But this does not mean that the medical department is not important, because the medical department is responsible for coordination, and also records some player data sent by each echelon, and enter the player data system that Ye Qiu had previously created for Ajax.

This system is designed to facilitate long-term observation and detection of various data on players' bodies.

After Ye Qiu's reform for a year, the medical department is more like a medical data center, and Van Dude has gradually lost some opportunities to see players, and is more like a technical analyst of the physical data of youth team players.

Ye Qiu knew how important this was for a team, especially Ajax's youth training camp, so he decided to ask for someone again.

Van Dude was also a naughty old man. He complained hard before. After Ye Qiu agreed to him, he immediately laughed and went to do things, just like a child who had made a promise.

"Are you looking for me?" Bobby Hams asked with a smile when he saw Ye Qiu walking into the reception room.

Ye Qiu nodded and sat down, "I have something to discuss with you!"

Bobby Hams made an eye-watering attitude and said nothing.

"I want Van der Sar to be the captain of the team!" Ye Qiu's tone sounded more like announcing, rather than asking.

This also proves that Ye Qiu is now increasingly capable of making decisions and handling matters. At least he no longer needs to ask others for everything. When encountering problems, he has to consult someone. Now he can clearly know what he wants and what he should do.

Bobby Hams is more happy with Ye Qiu's transformation, because he saw with his own eyes how this young man, who is about to celebrate his 27th birthday, grew from scratch and became a qualified and outstanding head coach step by step.

"Captain change?" Bobby Hams frowned, guessing Ye Qiu's thoughts.

"It's not a question of changing!" Ye Qiu smiled, "We didn't actually see a captain last season!"

Ajax's captain was Grim last season, but the veteran did not actually play the role the captain should have. He even maintained a big gap between a group of young players.

Ye Qiu knew in his heart that there were many reasons for this gap. One of the important aspects was that the age gap between Grim and them was too big and they could not get along. Ye Qiu also carried out a major cleanup of old players and players who were in their age, which directly led to Grim not being able to get along with a group of young players.

Speaking of which, players such as Van der Fate, Kivo have more or less performed their captain duties, but they are not obvious, after all, they are too young.

"Van der Sar has just arrived at the team, but he has won the Champions League meritorious service in the past. He has a certain influence in the minds of players such as Van der Fate, Sneider and others. This player is experienced and has a strong sense of professionalism. I think it is appropriate for him to be the captain of the team."

Van der Sar's personality is actually not a very strong captain, similar to Keane, Vieira or Effenberg's type. In Ye Qiu's view, Van der Sar should be more like a tempting elderly man. His duty as captain is to guide players how to win games and lead these young teammates to defeat their opponents.

The players are too young and lack experience. Even if they meet a tough guy like Keane now, the effect may not be better than Van der Sar, because Keane's role may not be effective in such a young team, but Van der Sar must be effective.

Bobby Hams also knew Ye Qiu's thoughts, but was a little surprised, because he did not expect that Ye Qiu would be so generous and directly handed over the captain's authority to a person with reputation that might even surpass him and threaten his head coach's authority.

This made Bobby Hams not know whether Ye Qiu was confident or that he didn't know how to weigh the trade-offs.

"It's easy to give the armband, but it's difficult to get it back!" Bobby Hams said lightly.

He has a good relationship with Van der Sar, but some things do not mean that they can tell who is right and who is wrong. If there is a problem between Van der Sar and Ye Qiu in the future, then Van der Sar, as the captain, will become Ye Qiu's biggest threat.

"Don't worry, Bobby, if I can give it, I will definitely be able to collect it. No one can shake my influence on this team. I have enough confidence in this, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen Van der Sar!"

Bobby Hams thought about it and believed that this team was brought out by Ye Qiu. Last season, he even went to the board of directors for Ye Qiu. This is enough to show Ye Qiu's influence in the team. Moreover, the captain's armband last season was on the veteran Grim, and he didn't see Grim causing anything.

"Then what do you want me to do?" asked Bobby Hams.

Ye Qiu knew he agreed and smiled, "I hope you talk to Van der Sar privately. I hope that after he became the captain, he can better play the role of his old player, use his experience and ability to lead and help this young team!"

Bobby Hams nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go talk to him later."

Ye Qiu smiled and talked to Bobby Hams for a few more words, then left the medical department, where he had something to do with the first team.

The team is about to train, and he, the head coach, will definitely have a lot of things to be busy with.

Watching Ye Qiu leave, Van Dude walks in.

"This guy is becoming more and more like a head coach now." He is also watching Ye Qiu grow up step by step.

Bobby Hams nodded with a smile, "His progress not only surprised others, but even I was surprised. In just two years, he has achieved achievements that many people may not be able to achieve in their entire lives. It is hard for me to imagine how Ajax would become a society in his hands!"

"Maybe, it's stronger than Van Gaal back then!" Van Dude smiled.

Bobby Hams smiled unanimously and stood up from the sofa, "I am so old, and my health is getting worse day by day. It's a pity to meet a head coach like Ye Qiu. I hope I can still see him leading Ajax to the day of revival!"
Chapter completed!
