When returning to Amsterdam, Ye Qiu felt like he was going home.

He stayed here for a full 4 years, and he took the first step of his career here, achieved his first victory in his career, won the first championship in his career, and won the first honor in his career. Almost all his firsts were given to Ajax and the city.

Didn’t someone say it? Women’s first time is always very unforgettable. Ye Qiu now thinks that men are the same

The fans here are as enthusiastic as ever. When Chelsea arrived in Amsterdam, many people went to pick them up at the airport. They still welcomed Ye Qiu like the team that had returned from triumphantly.

When Ye Qiu arrived at the hotel, thousands of Ajax fans blocked the door of the hotel just to see Ye Qiu. Perhaps their idea was simple, just to see if Ye Qiu had become better or worse.

When Ye Qiu got off the bus, he saw Ajax fans pulling out a long banner in front of him, saying, "Welcome to home, Ye Qiu."

The characters are very ugly, twisted Chinese characters, but the emotions contained in these words touched him very much. Not only him, but almost all the Chelsea players on the scene were moved by this scene, and the look they looked at their head coach obviously became more respectful.

Ye Qiu was as calm as ever, and as always, just waved to the fans. The fans seemed to be used to Ye Qiu's implicitness. They were still shouting Ye Qiu's name enthusiastically.

Sometimes, people's feelings will continue to settle with the accumulation of time and can stand the test.

When Ye Qiu led the team into the Arena Stadium, which he was extremely familiar with, there was a thunderous applause on the spot. All Ajax fans stood up one after another and offered the warmest applause to Ye Qiu who returned to Arena Stadium. The club's senior management, head coach and coaching staff also stood at Arena Stadium to welcome Ye Qiu.

The match between Chelsea and River Plate is the opening match of the Amsterdam Cup. After this game, the match between Ajax and Panasinaikos was followed.

The number of teams invited to this year's Amsterdam Cup has actually declined compared with previous years, because the top teams in the four major European leagues are now developing markets such as Asia, North America, South America and Africa. For example, Manchester United and other teams are playing in the championship tour in the United States, while Real Madrid is going to Asia.

It must also be said that although only a year has passed, Ajax's reputation has declined significantly compared to the Yeqiu period. This is caused by the overall decline in the Eredivisie. In the summer of the past two years, Ajax's talent loss has also been very serious.

Van der Fat, Sneider and Robben and Samsung all went to Real Madrid, Ibrahimovic went to Juventus, Van der Mede went to Inter Milan, Kifu went to Rome, Abidal went to Barcelona, ​​Arteta has also received the attention of many top league teams, and the possibility of leaving the team is also very high.

In just two years, the Ajax team of Ye Qiu's period has fallen apart. The current young guards have no problem with their sarcastic Eredivisie, but it is difficult to make a difference in European competitions.

Mascherano, Yaya Toure, Hetinga, Arteta, De Jong, Maduro, Hunteral, Heleb, and Stekrenberg. These young players under Ye Qiu's back then have begun to stand alone. After Lucio and Abidal left the team, Eliza's agent company has poached two young players with great strength, Thiago Silva and Marcelo.

These players appeared on the scene when Chelsea arrived at Arena Stadium. Hetinga, who is the team captain this season, led his teammates to welcome Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu also used the team training and warm-up to meet and chat with each of them for a while.

"Only when we saw them again, we realized that time passed so quickly." After Ye Qiu met with the players, he stood on the sidelines with Ajax head coach Van Basten, Bobby Hams, Ricklink and others, and Roland and others were also chatting with Ajax's coaching staff and the players.

Ye Qiu's coaching team came from Ajax, and the two teams can be said to have a deep connection.

Bobby Hams laughed after hearing this. He was the most sensitive to age. "Yes, unknowingly, another year."

"So, you have to take care of yourself. Anyway, you have earned enough, so let's go to retire." Ye Qiu suggested with a smile. He went to DeTok Most yesterday to visit Van Dude, who was not only Ye Qiu's friend, but also someone who his wife Huang Chu respected very much. In yesterday's chat, Van Dude said that he wanted to retire.

"Can't let go" Bobby Hams looked at the stadium and laughed.

A very simple sentence touched Ye Qiushen, and it was also impossible to let him go now.

"The team's lineup is still very strong this year, and it should be no problem to win the championship." Ye Qiu looked at Van Basten with a smile. Although Ajax, who is coached by Van Basten, Ye Qiu thought it was very good.

After Ye Qiu led the team to its peak, no matter who took over the next step, it would be mixed.

"Mascherano is very strong. He is in the midfield. With Arteta, there is absolutely no problem with his strength. Yaya Toure has made great progress this year. I think he should turn to Davis's style now, and he is also working hard. With the three of them, the team's midfield strength is guaranteed," Van Basten introduced.

The strength of the midfield determines what height a team can reach. From Van Basten's words, Ye Qiu also feels that this Ajax is still very powerful.

In fact, many people have lost their fortunes. At least in Ye Qiu's opinion, Mascherano's strength has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year, and there is no problem playing in the top European leagues, but because of his midfielder, no team seems to be interested in him.

But it’s no wonder. Looking at the dislike of Marklele at Real Madrid back then, whether it’s the media or fans, their eyes always aimed at the attackers rather than the defensive players. Is this an unconscious prejudice?

"How about Thiago Silva and Marcelo?" Ye Qiu asked these two young players from Brazil with concern.

Bobby Hams smiled after hearing this. Of course, he knew that these two people were Eliza's players, and their ownership was in the hands of Eliza's agent company, but no one outside knew about it.

"There is great potential, but it still needs to be crafted." After Bobby Hams finished speaking, he patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder tacitly, "Don't worry, I'll help you watch them, and the team in the new season also needs their outstanding performance."

Ye Qiu learned all the skills of crafting young players from Bobby Hams, so he had no doubt about the training ability of this senior who was both a teacher and a friend. Over the past year, Yaya Toure and Mascherano have learned a lot of valuable things from Bobby Hams.

Ye Qiu felt that it was indeed a visionary thing to let Yaya Toure turn to Davis from now on, because Yaya Toure has many things similar to Davis. Even if he is taller, the challenge is also great, that is, how to let Yaya Toure cultivate Davis' awareness of integrating the team.

This kind of thing has to be done slowly. Didn’t Harvey also play and gets more experienced and wake up and become a passer master? It is impossible to cultivate young players in one go, you have to invest time and energy to do it.

"By the way, I received a call from Eliza two days ago. She recommended two players like the team. Do you know?" Van Basten looked at Ye Qiu with a unique meaning.

The latter shook his head, "I don't know, who?"

"You know, with Robben and Van der Fate leaving the team, we lacked important attackers on the sidelines, and Hunteral is the kind of center who needs someone to pass and assist, so Eliza recommended us two South American players, one is Chile's 16-year-old Alexis Sanchez, and the other is Argentina's 16-year-old Di Maria."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu shook his head, "I haven't heard her say it. Have you read the report?"

"Well, it's very good, I agree," Van Basten seemed to let go and smiled.

Ye Qiu was light and did not give a reply. In fact, he knew about this. Eliza also called for his opinion. Both players were recommended to her by Eliza's partners in South America. There were also several other players, such as Aguero and Tevez. However, because Ajax needed a winger, he chose Di Maria and Sanchez.

However, Eliza has also bought the ownership of Aguero at a low price, but has allowed him to continue to play in Argentina. As for Tevez, the player is too popular at the moment, and a lot of agents are rushing to ask for it, so Eliza did not participate in the competition, but won Di Maria and Sanchez and let them play in Ajax.

Ye Qiu himself is the head coach. He knows very well that no head coach can accept others' fingers at him, and Van Basten is the kind of person with a strong personality. Ye Qiu recommended him to Thiago Silva and Marcelo. For the sake of friendship, he tolerated it, but it does not mean that he can endure endless tolerance.

This is why Ye Qiu said he didn't know, which can save a lot of trouble.

Because of this, Ye Qiu did not continue to go deep into this topic, but instead talked about some daily trivial matters.

This is just a warm-up match. For Chelsea, it is more important to inspect the team than anything else, so Ye Qiu does not attach much importance to the results of these two cup games. The most important thing is to let the team play their own things.

The current River Plate team does not have a player that impressed Ye Qiu. Because it is a warm-up match, he did not study the team very seriously, but when he got the pre-match roster, he noticed a person, Higuain.

This young man with a childish look will sit on the bench in this game and does not have the ability to start yet.

With Ronaldinho, Macon and Deco returning to the team, Ye Qiu ranked his strongest lineup in this game.

The goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the defense is Evra, Cannavaro, Terry and Macon, the double midfielder is Deco and Marklele, the frontcourt is Ronaldinho, Lampard and Rooney, and the single forward is Drogba.

The game started a little calm, and Chelsea's mentality was also relaxed. They did not want to put a big push on the offense, but were patiently looking for their own rhythm, because the team's tactics have changed this season, and many players need to adapt again.

In the 14th minute, Chelsea suddenly exerted force.

Rooney performed relatively averagely in the previous three warm-up matches and did not play at his own level. But this time he faced the delicate Argentinian, but the English guy dared to dribble over the man and formed several breakthroughs on the right. However, the subsequent crosses and passes were obviously not done well, resulting in the team's offense not being effective.

On the contrary, in the 31st minute, he had just participated in the Perfect Continental Cup and was tired. Ronaldinho, who performed poorly in the first half of the hour, showed his strength as a top superstar. After forming a breakthrough on the left, he dribbled the ball and cut in, passing the ball diagonally, and Rooney quickly rushed into the penalty area from the right rib. Facing Ronaldinho's oblique pass, he pushed the ball on his right heel, seizing the best scoring opportunity since the opening and opening the first record for Chelsea.

This is also Rooney's first goal after joining Chelsea, even if it's just a goal in the warm-up match

There was not much improvement in the second half of the game. Ye Qiu also realized the fatigue of Ronaldinho, Mecon, Deco and others, so he made continuous substitution adjustments. Then River Plate wanted to reverse the situation and caused quite a lot of trouble for Chelsea. However, Chelsea's defense line was arrogant and River Plate could not create a threat for a while.

In the 85th minute, Terry made a long pass, Van Persie stopped the ball from the right and cut inside through the opponent's left back, passing directly behind him. Goodjohansen stopped the ball and shot, scoring the second goal for Chelsea, and it was also the last goal in the game.

In the end, Chelsea defeated the Argentine powerhouse River Plate with 0

After the game, Ajax fans stood up and cheered again, saying goodbye to Ye Qiu with applause and cheers.

Throughout the whole process, from beginning to end, Ajax fans made people feel their friendship and love for Ye Qiu.

After the game, the Amsterdam Evening Post conducted a special report on this, believing that in the world of people's feelings and coldness, many people do not believe in so-called feelings and believe that professional football's feelings cannot be matched by fame and fortune. However, Ajax's fans proved with facts that no matter how long it took, they still cannot forget the team's former heroes.

"Just like the banners drawn by Ajax fans at Arena Stadium, Ye Qiu, this is your eternal home, you are welcome to come back at any time

Ye Qiu was also very moved by the love of Ajax fans. In an interview with the media after the game, he said that he seemed to be back to his parents' home and was very nervous, but after seeing the fans, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"After coming to Amsterdam, I really believe more and more that as long as you give your heart, fans will understand it."

After Chelsea's match against River Plate, Ajax and Panathinaikos played a warm-up match, and finally defeated the Greek champion 0 with a goal from Hunteral.

Two days later, the same day at Arena Stadium, Uj Pannashinaks, and Chelsea tied the game against Ajax.

The two sides shook hands and made peace, and the scene was in a happy mood, and Ye Qiu was also satisfied with this.

It's not that Chelsea deliberately kept its strength, but Ye Qiu saw that Ronaldinho and Deco and others were too tired, Yu Qian directly let them rest. After the rotation, Chelsea had an advantage in the face of Ajax, but failed to defeat the opponent. Thiago Silva's performance on the defense was indeed excellent.

Although he got a draw, Chelsea scored 4 points with one win and one draw, scored 4 goals, and scored a total of 8 points, winning the Amsterdam Cup this year, while Ajax won the second place.

5 warm-up matches, 4 wins and l draws, Chelsea's performance in training outside is excellent. On the other hand, Arsenal and Manchester United are both training outside, but Arsenal played in the U-game warm-up match, and there were 4 draws, and the main midfielder Vieira's recent condition can be said to have dropped to a low point.

Throughout the summer, Vieira was associated with Real Madrid. La Liga giants did not announce it to the public, but everyone speculated that the price exceeded 100 million, and after winning Ajax Samsung, they launched an offensive against Vieira again. Florentino's ambition was also very obvious. He wanted to use the money storm to revive Real Madrid's prestige in the shortest time.

Arsenal's current financial situation is in trouble, and Wenger insists on the strategy of signing one year after he is 30. The main players in the team are more or less centrifugal. Vieira's mood to leave Arsenal can be said to be obvious, but the difference is the price.

In this tug-of-war, Arsenal's morale has been affected, and Henry's condition has also been affected. The best player in the warm-up game is the young player Reyes.

As time goes by August, Chelsea welcomes Zaragoza at Stamford Bridge.

This is Chelsea's first warm-up match in London this season. Because of the storm of fan protests that had caused a lot of trouble before, this warm-up match became meaningful. However, Abramovich's appearance and rare appearance of sitting on the bench, talking and laughing with Ye Qiu completely broke the rumors that the outside world was disagreeing with the two.

And a very interesting signal is that Pini Zahavi did not appear at Stamford Bridge Stadium. Some media revealed that the Israelis privately broke the news to the media before the season, which made the Abramovich Thunder furious and completely drove the Israelis into the cold palace.

In an interview, Abramovich also hinted that all the unfavorable rumors against the team before the game were false, and that someone maliciously affected the team's preparations, and he would hold him accountable, and he once again reiterated that he hoped that Ye Qiu could coach at Stamford Bridge for the rest of his life.

"He is a great head coach, and his first season when he came to the team brought us the Champions League and League championship trophys. I can't imagine anyone in this world is better than him. If I can, I'm willing to write forever on the contract term."

When Chelsea returned to the front of their fellow villagers, they were unambiguous, losing Zaragoza and completing the pre-season U-game warm-up match with an unbeaten record.
Chapter completed!
