When you walk into the Amsterdam City Hall, it is not difficult to find that there have been many celebrities from all walks of life in Amsterdam. A large part of them are people related to Ajax, such as Ajax's directors and shareholders, as well as several Ajax's senior executives and former star celebrities.

The team's former head coach was able to receive the honorary citizen title from the city government, which is also a great honor for Ajax, so even Van Prague, who has left Ajax and only has the honorary chairman title, was specially invited to participate.

Ye Qiu walked into the venue accompanied by Eliza and immediately became the focus of everyone's attention and congratulations.

People kept reaching out to him and congratulating him, but everyone took the initiative to give way to Ye Qiu to get to the front. Van Prag and others were here. When they saw Ye Qiu arrived, they all came up.

"Congratulations, Ye Qiu." Van Prager stretched out his hand from afar. He also benefited from Ye Qiu's ability to get to where he is today.

Now everyone praises him as the former chairman because during his tenure, the team has created two brilliant peaks, one during the Van Gaal period, and the other during the Ye Qiu period last season, which is very difficult.

Whether it is the media or the fans, they like to compare the differences between Van Gaal and Ye Qiu's two peak periods, and they will compare who has a greater influence. The final conclusion is undoubtedly Ye Qiu.

Because Ye Qiu is the only team that won the Champions League in the past four major leagues after the expansion and reform of the Champions League, this is called a miracle by many people. Because before the expansion, although the participating teams in the European Champions League were all league champions from various countries, their strength was uneven and the competition was not fierce enough. However, after the expansion, basically three or four teams participated in the competition in the four major leagues, and their overall competitiveness was greatly improved. It is very difficult for non-Four Major League teams to laugh to the end.

But because of this, Ye Qiu led the team to the end, and everyone praised him because they all knew very well that this was definitely not achieved through verbal publicity, but by real strength.

Because of this, the entire Amsterdam is very supportive of the city government's decision to award Ye Qiu the honorary citizen title.

As the name suggests, honorary citizens are an honorary award for those outsiders who have made outstanding contributions to the local area. They have rich and noble social significance and are an important symbol of measuring the humanistic connotation of a city.

For Amsterdam, it is undoubtedly well deserved to award the title of honorary citizen to Ye Qiu, who led Ajax to the second triple-champion in history, and almost all Ajax fans have no objection to this.

"Now you are in the limelight, and the media around the world are hyping up your so-called acquisition list."

After some greetings and politeness, everyone immediately gathered the topics of discussion to the hottest topic at the moment, undoubtedly Chelsea's madness. In Chelsea's crazy poaching, Ye Qiu is undoubtedly a person at the forefront of the limelight.

In the past period of time, Ye Qiu's attention has even exceeded Beckham's transfer. Media around the world are hyping up the news of who Ye Qiu wants to poach, even a slight clue will be infinitely magnified.

Of course, according to Eliza, some people are using Ye Qiu and Chelsea to increase their influence in the transfer market.

Ye Qiu has become accustomed to this. Many times, fans are easily blinded by the media and think that what they see is true. However, they do not know that many media press releases may not be dug up by their reporters, but may be the revelations that the parties involved themselves seek on their own initiative, with the purpose of only publicity and hype.

"No," Ye Qiu shook his head modestly. His respect for Van Prager would not change. It was not just him, but also Bobby Hams, Van Dude, Leo Benhack and others. Without the help, trust and supervision of these people, it would be difficult for him to reach today.

By the way, with Van Prag's resignation and Ye Qiu's departure, Leo Benhack also followed him, so he did not attend today, and Ye Qiu hadn't contacted him for a long time, and he didn't know his next plan.

"But to be honest, I'm very happy to see your poaching, really," Van Prager laughed. "That wealthy family is eager to divide our Ajax now. You're going to poach them crazy now, which indirectly distributes the pressure for us."

As European leagues gradually move towards the shape of pyramids, it has become inevitable that the four major leagues at the top of the pyramids will be at the blood of those leagues that are not as good as theirs.

Why does it take for teams not to maintain competitiveness with the four major leagues for a long time?

The reason is very simple. The big part of money and resources is in the four major leagues. They are rich, famous and influential. As long as the four major leagues have enough outstanding rookies, they will immediately poach, one will be dug out, and two will be dug out, weakening the low-elevation leagues, strengthening their strength, and increasing one will be the other. The four major leagues will be more competitive in European events, especially in the Champions League, and with competitiveness, they will have higher incomes and become richer.

This is a virtuous cycle for teams in the four major leagues, especially the giant teams.

But for low-echelon leagues, their status and role have been set, that is, to create healing for the teams in the four major leagues and provide them with a steady stream of new forces. Can they resist?

It's OK once and half, want to last long? Stop dreaming

So, last year, Ajax entered the semi-finals and they rushed over to poach people. But in the end, Ye Qiu relied on his own influence and the cooperation of Ajax's management to keep the people. But this year, they won the Champions League championship, so they no longer held back and they all snatched crazy.

Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan have all set their sights on Ibrahimovic, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Juventus have all set their sights on Lucio, Barcelona and Real Madrid all want to include Ben and Van der Fate, and there are also Kivo, Maicon, Sneider, Van der Med, and Kroo Toure, a group of excellent stars with excellent performances have been targeted by the giants.

Now for Ajax, it is no longer a question of whether to keep people or not, but a question of how many people can be kept.

"The board of directors asked me for my opinion before. I think we should keep people with all our might, at least part of them, and continue to ensure the team's competitiveness in the Eredivisie and European arena." Van Prager saw this clearly.

If you want to stay all of them, Ajax doesn't have that ability or financial resources.

"This is undoubtedly a relatively compromise." Ye Qiu nodded in support, "and with Ajax's current scouting system, I believe that a powerful supplement will be found soon. In addition, Marco will definitely have no problem."

Van Basten has been in Ye Qiu's coaching staff for three years, and he is Ajax's former celebrity and is deeply loved by fans. In addition, Bobby Hams and Ricklink, two coaches familiar with Ye Qiu's tactical system, assisted by him. Unless Van Basten wants to completely subvert the system that Ye Qiu has built for Ajax, his dominance in the Eredivisie should be continued.

As for Ajax's scouting system, during the three years when Ye Qiu was in power, Ajax invested a lot of money every year to improve this system. As long as the role is performed properly, it is not a big problem to sell players, because it can be supplemented quickly and effectively. On the contrary, Ajax can embark on a virtuous cycle of low-price introduction, crafting and training, and selling at high prices.

There are also disadvantages to doing this, that is, it may be difficult to be competitive in the European arena, but this is the cruelty of reality.

Even if Ajax can meet a funder who invests money like Abramovich, it cannot cover up the reality that the entire Eredivisie's league system is much less competitive than the four major leagues, because many things are destined.

"You are holding me here, but digging my foot on the other side. Is it true?" Van Basten immediately joked when he heard Ye Qiu support him.

"Don't use poaching like this, it's too sad to have feelings." Ye Qiu didn't care and said with a smile, "I'm sincere enough and didn't treat you badly at all. UU has introduced Van der Sar and Macon, and this deal is enough for you to be happy."

Everyone was amused after hearing this, but they had to admit that UU Wan introduced Vanderthal and Macon, and Ajax was not losing money.

Van dersar is not young anymore. Although he has maintained a good condition in the past two years, who knows how long he can last? Moreover, Van dersar has an ideal natural substitute, that is, Stekrenberg, who has been waiting for opportunities.

After Ye Qiu got involved in Frans Hawke, he contacted Van der Sar through the latter, and Van der Sar's agent was also Eliza. Therefore, many transfer issues are no longer a problem. As long as Ajax agrees, personal treatment negotiations and signing contracts can be immediately carried out.

As the saying goes, it is better to use cooked food than to use rawness. Ye Qiu's high-level defensive tactics require a goalkeeper like Van der Sar to take charge. It is not impossible to introduce other goalkeepers. Ye Qiu has also considered it, such as Reiner or Cech, but he is still a little worried about running-in.

With Chelsea's introduction this summer, fans' expectations are imaginable. Abramovich has high hopes for him. If he cannot show results that are consistent with his investment, Ye Qiu himself feels unreasonable.

Therefore, things in this world are fair, and risks and returns are always proportional.

As for Maikon, Ye Qiu swept the entire Europe, and there are not many right-backs that meet his definition of an offensive full-back. Ram can buy it, but this player lacks experience and is short. No one can know whether he can adapt to the Premier League.

Alves is still quite immature now, and he can't get a labor certificate from the Premier League, so Ye Qiu finally chose Maicon.

Ajax has many right-backs, such as Heatinga and De Jong, who can play in this position. If not, Van Basten can completely introduce another right-back from outside. I believe that the cost is not enough for Macon's transfer.

That's why Ye Qiu said that he had given him enough sincerity.

After a burst of laughter, Ye Qiu looked around, looking for his goal.

"By the way, I heard that Edgar Davis was here too, why didn't he see him?" This time he went to Amsterdam, one of the tasks was to contact the Juventus midfielder star.

"Here, there" Bobby Hams pointed not far away.

Ye Qiu noticed that there was a man sitting alone not far away, with long hair and dark skin. However, compared with the extremely tough wild boar on the court, Davis now wore a suit, tied a tie, and took off his iconic glasses. No wonder he couldn't recognize him.

"I'll go over and talk to him." Ye Qiu smiled and accused him of guilt.

Davis had noticed this side a long time ago, but Van Prag and others focused on Ye Qiu. He and Ye Qiu were not very familiar with each other, so they didn't come up to join in the fun. In this way, the wild boar seemed very calm and lonely alone.

This is also very similar to what he had experienced at Juventus.

"Can I sit down and chat a few times?" Ye Qiu walked to him and asked with a smile.

Davis raised his head and saw that it was Ye Qiu, and he was a little surprised, but nodded, pointed to the side lightly, "Sit down"

Ye Qiu sat down through a seat and looked at Edgar Davis. He felt that even though the Dutch still looked rebellious, even now, he still felt that he was the one who took the truth.

Of course, Ye Qiu always felt that both the players and Lippi had to be wrong about Davis, and there was no need to blame anyone completely, but Lippi must blame Davis, and Davis must blame Lippi. People, aren't they all like this?

"Have you ever thought about changing the environment?" Ye Qiu was very straightforward and straightforward.

Davis was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this person was so direct. He stared at Ye Qiu and shook his head, "I don't consider leaving Juventus for the time being, leaving Serie A."

Ye Qiu didn't find it strange. Although Davis had been rumored to leave Juventus almost all day in the past two or three years, he was actually putting pressure on the club. Capello was going to take him to Roma, and Moji had to agree. But in the end, the transfer was declared premature, and some people said that Davis refused.

But he still was not valued by Lippi even though he hadn't gone to Rome and stayed at Juventus.

"I heard that Juventus recently recalled Manuel Brasi, and Moji pointed at Brasi at the press conference and said, "This is our new Davis." Ye Qiu did not continue to entangle, but instead hit the nail on the head.

What he said has been rumored recently. There are reports that this is a signal that Juventus is going to sell Davis, because the latter's contract is about to expire, but the renewal issue has never been agreed. The reason is very simple. The Dutch asked the club to guarantee the main position, but Lippi refused to make such a promise.

Although Davis played a lot under Lippi's command, many of them were substitutes. In addition, the grudge between him and Lippi made it difficult for the Dutch to accept such a contract extension, so he had to continue negotiations.

Negotiations require pressure from each other. Moji recalls Manuel Brasi, who is loaned to Perugia, which is undoubtedly a kind of pressure. Not only that, Juventus is still on the offensive against Stephen Apia of Parma. This Garner midfielder is very similar to Davis. When he comes to Juventus, he clearly wants to replace the Dutch Boars.

Ye Qiu believed that Davis would not be unable to understand the twists and turns in it, but he still wanted to leave some hope. After all, he had been in Turin for six years and in Italy for eight years. If he really wanted to leave, he would definitely be a little reluctant.

After hearing Ye Qiu's words, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He was not only dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's opening of his scars in person, but also very angry at Juventus's actions, because he played for U years in this team and brought so many honors to this team, but the team treated the heroes like this?

Many things are not understood, just like Juventus had sex with Ancelotti in advance before the get out of class was over in Lippi. This proves that Moji does not allow any feelings to be mixed with the team's operation, and everything is for the benefit.

But often some people always feel that they can be the lucky exception

This is true for those who buy lottery tickets, so is Davis

"Certainly Chelsea is not as influential as Juventus, but we are full of fighting spirit and passion. I am not Lippi, and I will not resist any player as full of fighting spirit and passion as you. I will give you the most suitable space to play and give you the chance to prove yourself again."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled and said, "You know, there is a saying in my motherland that a tree moves to death and people move to live. It means that a tree moves to die easily, because its roots are limited there and cannot move. But people are different. People have their own thoughts and their own way of survival. Sometimes, in the dilemma that was originally difficult to break through, changing one's thinking and another environment can often turn a dead end into a way of life."

"I have always believed that even now, you are still one of the best midfielders in Europe, but that must not be a continued stay on Juventus' bench to cool off. That is not what the strongest midfielder in Europe should do. The best players should compete with the strongest opponents on the best stage where they can best play their advantages to prove their strength."

When talking about this, Ye Qiu shrugged, "So, I chose to leave Ajax and give up everything I finally built up in Ajax, go to the Premier League to Chelsea, compete with top coaches like Ferguson and Wenger. For me, this is the best way for me to prove myself."

Davis still didn't speak, his head was a little low, making people unable to guess what he was thinking.

"If I remember correctly, you should be 30 years old, right?" Ye Qiu laughed twice, "Think about it yourself, how many years can you maintain your condition? Do you want to continue to stay in Juventus? You can think about it yourself."
