"Have you... heard about it?"

In the lounge in the players' area of ​​the first team training building in DeTok Most, some players were playing electric, some were playing billiards or table tennis, but Van der Fate and Sneed were sitting on the sofa, with the TV not on, looking worried and worried.

"I heard that they are going to get rid of the head!" Kifu's tone was very stiff. Once the Romanians became hard, they were also impatient.

Sneider looked at Vanderfart, then looked at Kivo, with anger, "Why do you want to get rid of the head? Even in the first five rounds, our ranking is higher than last season. Haven't they seen the team's progress?"

"That's right, they all said we wanted to relegate before the season, but now we are ranked 6th. Isn't that good enough?" De Jong was also very unwilling. He and Sneider were Ye Qiu's most core team, and he has been with him since U15.

"We don't know about the board of directors. Should we learn about the situation?" Robben was a little worried.

"I know what I know!" Abidal stood up directly. The French were the wildest among them. "As you guys do this slowly, the boss will be killed long ago. Then we will all go back to the second team one by one."

Speaking of this, many of the people here are full of concerns, just like Sneider, De Jong, Maduro and others, they are all very young, only about 16 years old, and even Van der Fate and Robben, if they are in other teams, they are usually in the second team, and occasionally appear in the first team.

But in Ye Qiu's team, they got the main position and got more opportunities.

"I don't support changing coaches. I think the boss does a good job and many problems of the team have been solved, but we... But I believe that if you give the boss and us a little more time, we will definitely be able to do it well!" Gilberto Silva is the most mature among their group, and the player Ye Qiu relies on the most in the midfielder position.

All professional players hope that their team can have a head coach with thoughts and ability, and can patiently build his own tactical system according to his wishes. No one is willing to change coaches frequently.

Why?

The reason is very simple. Every head coach has his own understanding of football. Some attach importance to the middle, some attach importance to the wing, some like to attack in large quantities, while others like to defend and counterattack. When they coach the team, they will forcibly instill their understanding of football into players, and players can only passively accept it.

Ye Qiu is undoubtedly a very thoughtful head coach, and he also has good abilities. From his tactical preparation meeting, he constantly instills in the details of every tactical system of the players, it can be seen that he is also ambitious to create his own set of tactical ideas.

In order to do this, he introduced this group of players who conform to his tactics. He kept exploring the potential of these players, crafting their technical details and playing habits, and vigorously promoting young players. These are all to achieve his tactical ideas and achieve his goals.

After several months, this group of Ajax players have adapted to Ye Qiu's tactical ideas and have integrated into this tactical system. What they need is running-in and time to improve a bump in this tactical system.

But what if Ye Qiu is replaced at this time and a new head coach is welcomed, what will they do?

People are not blackboards. The tactical concepts that Ye Qiu instilled in them cannot be like chalk words written on the blackboard. If they are wiped out, they will need some time to forget what Ye Qiu instilled in them, and then spend some time to understand and understand what the new head coach has.

They are all young rookies, and they care more about them than anyone else. Before them, there were countless talented seniors who could have succeeded or even shined, but it was because they might have been discomfort after changing their coaches in the early stages of their careers that they were eventually destroyed by everyone.

They are both young and full of confidence and hope for the future. Especially when Ye Qiu vigorously promotes young players to the first team and gives them opportunities and game experience, they have all established a desire to become an excellent professional player.

"Is there any way to help you all the way?" Lucio stopped playing billiards and walked over with Macon.

This group of people may have their own little plans on weekdays, but at this moment, they have a common goal.

Everyone was silent because they were still young and had never experienced such a thing.

"Why do you think so much? Go directly to the office of Arena Stadium and tell us what we think. Are you afraid of a bird?" Ibrahimovic swept over the group of teammates coldly, not understanding what they were hesitating about.

"Zlatan has a good idea!" Abidal was the first to agree.

More and more people agree, especially the Dutch Gang led by Van der Fate, Heatinga and others. They are from Ajax youth training and the backbone of the team. They also agree with Ibrahimovic's suggestions.

The young man did it as soon as he said, and a group of people walked out of the training building and headed straight for Arena Stadium.

"Zlatan, aren't you the most unhappy person on weekdays? I'm still worried that you will be dragging you down!"

On the way to Arena Stadium, Lucio, who had a good relationship with Ibrahimovic, approached and said that they were both tall and strong goods and had a fuss on the training ground, but as the saying goes, they would not know each other without fighting, so they made friends with each other.

"I don't like him, but who made him my landlord?" Ibrahimovic smiled coldly and didn't say much, but his pace accelerated, as if he was afraid that Lucio would continue to bother him on this issue.

"This kid is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. He is caring about our boss!" Abidal came over from the side and said to Lucio.

In addition to the old goalkeeper Fred Grim who was not very close to this group of young people, including Streklenberg, all 19 players rushed to Arena Stadium, which soon led to the attention of Ajax fans who were playing in Arena Stadium and DeTok Most outside, and immediately realized that something big was happening.

I have never seen so many players act together, and they are all first-teams. Is this going to negotiate with the club chairman? What problems are there in Ajax?

The players came to the second floor of the west stands of Arena Stadium. The administrators in the office who had heard the news had stopped their work and paid attention to them. They were all wondering why this group of first-team players suddenly came here? What happened?

"We are not here to cause trouble. We ask to meet with Chairman Mr. Van Prager!" Van der Fate is the team's deputy captain and Ajax's hope star. He is familiar with the administration and will come forward.

Van Prager walked out when he heard the news. Seeing all the first team players coming, his face darkened, "What the hell is going on? What are you doing here? Are you making trouble?"

After all, he is the chairman of the club and speaks very heavily, which immediately shocked these players.

"Mr. Chairman, we are not here to make trouble. We are just here to express our players' opinions. We hope the club can keep Mr. Ye Qiu, because we all trust and believe that he has the ability to lead the team. If the team does not perform well in the new season, our players are also responsible!" Kifu walked out and said loudly.

It turned out that I came to plead for Ye Qiu!

Van Prag couldn't help but value Ye Qiu a little more, at least he still has such a status in the minds of the players.

It's not surprising, because this group of players was either brought in by him, or they defeated him all the way to the strong teams last season, and finally won the Dutch Cup championship magically. If even they didn't support Ye Qiu, then Ye Qiu would be despised in Ajax.

"The directors are in the conference room on the third floor. Let's go there and say, don't make trouble here. Being caught by the reporter will have a bad impact!" Van Prager pointed to the roof.

The players are not fools. They all know that Van Prager supports Ye Qiu because he promoted Ye Qiu to the first team at the beginning. The one who really wanted Ye Qiu to step down was the directors. Therefore, they all understood in their hearts that Van Prager was reminding them to go to the third floor to find trouble for the directors.

These boys all rushed to the conference room on the third floor with great courage, just like tigers that left the gate.

Korner was chatting with several directors with good relationships, and also mentioned by the way that if Ye Qiu was dismissed, who would arrange for the team's head coach. Among them, the candidates include Van Gaal, who had been dismissed from Barcelona and turned to coach the Dutch national team, and several famous Dutch coaches such as Hiddink.

When their discussions were aroused, these wolves and tigers rushed into the conference room.

"Who said we were going to fire our boss?" Abidal was not short, strong and black, clenched his fists and grinned his teeth, and looked a bit horrible.

Ibrahimovic, Lucio, Gilberto Silva, Hunteral... they all could be said to be tall and not bad. They all rushed into the conference room, silenced all the directors and stared at them in amazement, especially Corner, who was talking just now. At this time, he couldn't help but tremble, and his whole face was pale and sat on the chair without moving.

The players didn't do anything. After entering the conference room, they stared at the group of soft-boy directors who claimed to be gentlemen, and frightened them. After that, Van Prag appeared, comforted the players, and ensured that Ye Qiu's position as the head coach was absolutely fine. He also acted with kindness and power, and finally calmed down the players.

Not long after, Ye Qiu also heard the wind, and felt moved and helpless. These guys were so chaotic that they were all reporters outside now. People who didn't know thought Ajax had a big fuss.

It has to be said that Van Prager naturally has extraordinary features in his fight for power and profit. With this incident of the player colliding with the director, he quickly settled the players while also calming down the group of directors and successfully weakened part of the power of the board of directors. The reason was that the mistakes of Kornar and others led to the players' dissatisfaction, which led to this incident.

While Van Prager was suppressing the director, regaining some of his power and gaining some of his prestige, Ye Qiu took the players into Arena Stadium, and soon opened up to let all reporters enter the field to watch and watch them perform a training class familiar with the field at Arena Stadium.

This is not on Ajax's original training plan, but Ye Qiu gave a very sufficient reason, that is, there is no need to follow the training plan completely, which blocked the reporters' mouths, but there were still some reporters who caught some clues and began to report and exaggerate the matter.

In the mouths of many reporters, this matter eventually turned into Ye Qiu's instigation of the players to rush to the board of directors. So some fans who didn't know the truth began to attack Ye Qiu, believing that the Chinese man had poor coaching performance, but he was very clever in playing methods.

Van Prager also held a press conference to clarify, but many fans still didn't believe it, thinking that this was the club's compromise policy, and Ye Qiu had no choice but to do so because he knew very well that it would be impossible to change some people's prejudice against him.

"No one can get everyone's support and affirmation, so I don't care about what others think of me. I only care about me and my team, but no matter what, I am proud of being able to coach Ajax and having such a group of players!"

In an exclusive interview with the Amsterdam Evening Post, Ye Qiu expressed his attitude towards the fans' rebukes.

"This season is the first season after the team's reorganization, but I am very confident in the team and the players. We have only one goal this season, the league championship, my players and I will work hard for this goal. I firmly believe that after the end of the season, we will definitely have a satisfactory result!"

Since he had already made a military order with the board of directors, Ye Qiu didn't care about shouting out his ambitions.

…………

…………

In the 6th round of the league, Ajax welcomed the newly promoted Rosendal at home.

Some people are right. Generally speaking, the performance of the newly promoted teams in the first season is either very good or very poor.

Unfortunately, Rosendal belongs to the latter.

In this game at Arena Stadium, although Rosendal acted as a defensive posture, unfortunately, they encountered a team of Ajax with a strong morale, especially after just experiencing the previous storm of collide with the director, the players were all extremely united.

In the end, Ye Qiu led his Ajax to defeat Rosendal 4-0 at Arena Stadium.

This victory was also interpreted by many media as a self-salvation caused by Ye Qiu's pressure, believing that this victory against Rosendal was like a timely rain, resolving Ye Qiu's crisis of trust and allowing him to continue to survive in the position of Ajax head coach.

Among them, Rotterdam Daily made a prediction. In a fan questionnaire survey, Ye Qiu ranked first in the ranking of the head coaches who were dismissed in the Eredivisie this season, because the Chinese did not bring the changes and progress that fans were looking forward to.

In Eindhoven Daily, Ajax was directly removed from the ranks of the Eredivisie championship.

"Although the league has a total of 34 rounds and only 6 rounds have been held, Ajax is already 8 points behind Feyenoord. This is an incalculable gap. We have absolutely reason to believe that the new season's Eredivisie championship will be a battle between Feyenoord and Eindhoven!"

Eindhoven's head coach Gretz also announced after Eindhoven beat Vetes 2-0, "The strongest Eindhoven has arrived. I am full of confidence in the team's next game. We will defeat all opponents and win all the victories. The final championship will belong to us Eindhoven!"

Four days later, Ajax welcomed Slovakia's Bratislava at home. Finally, with the goals of Robben, Sneider and Hunteral, Ajax defeated Bratislava 3-0, and eliminated Slovakia's strong team from the League Cup with a total score of 5-0, successfully entering the second round of the League Cup knockout round.

The current League Cup system adopts a full knockout match system. From the first round to the sixth round of the semi-finals, all adopts a two-round knockout match system, and the 7th round is the final.

Unlike Ye Qiu's 2013, the Europa League modified from the League Cup was regarded as a useless trick. Today's League Cup is a very important cup in European competitions, second only to the European Champions League, and the competition can also be said to be very fierce.

In the past few years, the winners of the League Cup have been famous European teams, including European powerhouses such as Juventus, Inter Milan, Parma, Bayern Munich, and other European powerhouses. Last season's League Cup final was Galatasaray against Arsenal, and the Premier League giants were humiliated by the Turkish powerhouses 1:4.

Ye Qiu adopted the strategy of the League Cup match to participate and accumulate experience. His main battlefield is still in the Eredivisie.

But after playing the League Cup, Ajax rushed to challenge Helenfin.

Although Ajax equalized the score twice, he ended up only 1 point away.

On the other hand, Feyenoord and Eindhoven both played away, but they both won a victory. As a result, the gap between Ajax and Feyenoord quickly widened to 10 points, and the goal of the Eredivisie championship is getting farther and farther away.

After playing the 7th round of the Eredivisie, the two-week national team match day was ushered in another two-week national team match day.

This is undoubtedly a timely adjustment period for Ye Qiu. Even Romanian international Jifu stayed in the club because he did not have a national team competition task. All Ajax staff were in a good manner and continued to stay in DeTok Most to train as usual.

Ye Qiu finally found time to adjust his tactics well, and through training, let the players implement their own adjustments and prepare for the next full sprint.
Chapter completed!
