The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 94 Robin Hood

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Gretz seemed to be exhausted and sat on the coaching bench of the visiting team at the Arena, because he lost a game, and it may even cost him the whole season. All down the drain game.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, Eindhoven's league game against Ajax was only 3 points, but Gretz knew that it was not only 3 points, but also a sigh of relief.

The Holland Cup last season was a disgrace to Gretz and Eindhoven, which made Eindhoven's league title full of shame, because while they won the league title, they lost in the Dutch Cup to Ajax's second team, a youth team, made them even if they won the league championship, they still couldn't escape the ridicule of others.

"The reason why you won the league championship is because our second team failed to participate in the league!"

did you see that?
This is the humiliation that Ajax fans gave them after they won the league championship in Eindhoven last year. Even many Eindhoven fans felt that they must wash away the Dutch Cup loss to Ajax. The humiliation of the team, otherwise, Gretz will dismiss get out of class and apologize.

PSV Eindhoven once again lost to Ye Qiu and his Ajax in the Super Cup this season, which put him under tremendous pressure, which led to his unexpected loss in the first game of the league, 0:2 Lost to the opponent, but soon he adjusted.

Unbeaten in 25 rounds of the league, Eindhoven has enough capital to be proud and proud of their performance.

But all of this, tonight, in this game, completely disappeared.

3: 0!

This shocking number is displayed on the red electronic scoreboard at Arenal Stadium.

Entering the second half with a score of 0:2, Gretz's team began to reverse the situation and made a big reversal, but it didn't take long for Ajax to take advantage of another error by Eindhoven. Keita passed directly behind, Robben turned offside and successfully entered the penalty area to form a single-handed shot. He calmly pushed and scored, which established the victory of the game.

After that, Eindhoven completely lost their vigor and the courage to get back the score. They completely lost the game.

0:3, this is also Eindhoven's worst loss so far this season, and it can even be said to be the worst loss in the past two years when Gretz has been in charge of Eindhoven.

They have never been so useless, as if in front of the young players of Ajax, they are no longer the proud Eindhoven, but just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, weak and lacking the ability to resist.

The cheers of all the Ajax fans in the audience sounded more like humiliation to the ears of Gretz and his players, and the bursts were like whips, whipping them, whipping on them. It made them feel ashamed and ashamed.

Even if they win the Eredivisie championship, so what?
If they can't beat Ye Qiu and his Ajax team, they will never be able to prove how valuable their championship is!

At the moment when the referee blew his whistle, Ajax's head coach Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, opened his arms wildly, and shouted loudly, venting the depression in his chest, because this game The game made him full of fighting spirit and confidence again.

No one could hear Ye Qiu's cry, because the noise at the scene was too loud, but everyone could see the young Chinese head coach shouting with open arms and fists. He was flamboyant, confident, and even a little arrogant. Crazy, but so what?He was able to defeat Eindhoven, which was helpless throughout the Netherlands, and it was a 3-0 victory.

If anyone else can do this, then he also has the capital of arrogance!
After the excitement, Ye Qiu calmed down, turned around and celebrated with Bobby Harms, Rick Link, Van Basten and other assistants one by one, and then walked to the coaching bench of the visiting team, which is what a host should do. Some manners.

"Thank you, Mr. Gretz!" Ye Qiu walked forward with a smile, and stretched out his hand early.

Gretz curled his lips in embarrassment, trying to laugh, but couldn't.

Ye Qiu could see his expression, not to mention how happy he was.

In the end, Gretz didn't say anything, shook Ye Qiu's hand politely, turned around and walked into the player tunnel.

After losing the game, the Arenal Stadium has completely become a stage for Ajax and the fans to celebrate. In this case, if he continues to stay here, he will only become the object of humiliation and ridicule, so he I don't want to stay here for a moment.

But there was one place where he had to bite the bullet and face it.

…………

…………

The influence of the Eredivisie League can only be spread around the Netherlands. Therefore, the press conference after the game is basically a local reporter from the Netherlands. There are not many reporters, just a dozen, even more than Ajax. The number of journalists who attended the press conference held by the UEFA Cup was even smaller.

At the very least, there will be reporters from the country of the visiting team in the UEFA Cup!
What football journalists are usually good at doing is to add insult to injury. I want them to learn how to send charcoal in a timely manner. I'm sorry, they don't have such genes at all, so in this press conference, Gretz replaced the host Ye Qiu and became the The absolute protagonist, and the reporters' questions were also very sharp.

"Hello, Mr. Gretz, can you tell me why PSV lost 0:3 to Ajax?"

"What caused PSV to completely lose the ability to resist in this game?"

"Do you admit that it was your tactical error that caused PSV to lose this crucial game?"

"Will you take the blame and resign because of this fiasco?"

"Do you think that someone must stand up and take responsibility for such a loss?"

Ye Qiu was sitting by the side, he suddenly felt pity for Gretz, because if it were him, he would definitely go crazy, losing the game is already miserable, and being scolded by this group of reporters, Ye Qiu would definitely go crazy, He didn't even hesitate to scold this group of reporters.

But Gretz couldn't do this. On the contrary, he looked very polite and graceful, answering the reporters' questions one by one, but obviously his somewhat panacea-like answers could not convince the reporters present. All satisfied.

"Mr. Gretz, before this game, Eindhoven was the Eredivisie champion that everyone was optimistic about, but after this game, we believe that many people will feel that Ajax has not actually lost. What do you think of the hope of hitting the championship?"

As soon as the reporter finished asking questions, the reporters at the scene immediately pointed at the unlucky Gretz.

"I don't think losing this game will affect our championship, because we are still 8 points ahead of our opponents, which is a huge advantage, and Ruud van Nistelrooy has also participated in the team's joint training, I believe he The return of the team will definitely bring a certain improvement to the team's striker attack power!"

"Ajax undoubtedly performed better in this game, but they have made too many mistakes and lost too many opportunities in the championship competition throughout the season. I firmly believe that the league championship will eventually be won. Our Eindhoven!"

Gretz's answer satisfied all the reporters present, but soon, the next reporter threw the same question to Ye Qiu. Obviously, this was planned long ago, just to see the two of them arguing .

But Ye Qiu understood that at this time, he must not be soft!

"Yes, we are still 8 points behind our opponent, but what I want to remind everyone is that 2 hours ago, we were 11 points behind our opponent, but now, we are only 8 points left!" Said confidently.

The reporters were all amused when they heard this, and they had to admit in their hearts that Ye Qiu was more photogenic than Gretz, and even all the head coaches in the Eredivisie, from his image to his words, and he was more popular with the media. The only disadvantage That is, he is a Chinese, which will make a few extreme fans reject this young head coach.

"I hope this game can remind everyone who thinks that Eindhoven has already won the Eredivisie championship in advance. There are a total of 34 rounds in the Eredivisie, but now there are only 27 rounds, and we still have 7 rounds to go." Chances, a total of 21 points, who dares to say that PSV will not make mistakes in the last 7 rounds?"

"If someone still wants to tell me in this situation that PSV will beat all opponents, I will give him a copy of the video of this game for free, reminding him that PSV is nothing more than It's an Eredivisie team, they can't win forever, they're bound to make mistakes, and we'll take advantage of their mistakes and replace them!"

When Ye Qiu answered these words, he always had a confident and calm expression, which made many reporters present feel his fighting spirit from the bottom of his heart. It can be seen that this young Chinese is not because he is backward He gave up with 7 points and lost his fighting spirit. On the contrary, he now looks full of fighting spirit.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, I am a reporter from Eindhoven Daily. I want to know. It has been widely rumored that you will be forced to leave Ajax after the end of this season. What do you think about this? ?”

It was obvious that Ye Qiu was going to be given eye drops, but when the reporter from Eindhoven said it, the audience immediately paid attention to it, so Ye Qiu had no choice but to scold the reporter bitterly in his heart , scolding those damn directors.

"I have a three-year contract with Ajax and I've always felt that Ajax have done a great job this season, I'm satisfied and proud of my players and I believe that with time we'll be the Dutch side. The most combative team in the first league, so I never doubt me and my players."

After a pause, Ye Qiu continued: "The most important thing for us now is to reverse PSV Eindhoven. We are all eager to win the Eredivisie championship, and we have always been heading towards Working hard in this direction, I think, before that, it is not appropriate to talk about any topic that is not related to this goal."

Ye Qiu's answer obviously didn't satisfy the reporters present, because he didn't give a clear answer to this question at all, he was just doing Tai Chi pushing hands.

Maybe because he saw some reporters pestering him desperately, Ye Qiu winked at the host of the club's news department.

This is the advantage of being in front of the house. There are people of our own everywhere. As soon as the host of the news department saw Ye Qiu's wink, he immediately changed the topic and pointed out the reporter of the Amsterdam Evening Post, asking him to ask the next question.

"Mr. Gretz, before the game, you and your team were determined to win this game and were full of confidence, but in the end you suffered a complete defeat. Do you think this will affect the Dutch Cup semi-final three days later? ? Will it affect the next battle for the league title?"

The reporter of the Amsterdam Evening Post transferred the flames of war to Gretz, and when he asked questions, he emphasized the tone of complete defeat, obviously exposing Gretz's scars.

Aren't you Eindhoven going to put eye drops on our Ajax coach?Let's also put eye drops on your head coach to see who can beat whom?

Gretz's face was very embarrassed, because the last thing he wanted to hear was a complete failure, a fiasco, and the like, which made him feel humiliated.

"We are a mature team. I believe that our players are mature and rational enough to deal with their own emotions and morale, so I don't worry about the Netherlands three days later. Cup competition, and I am more confident about the remaining 7 rounds of the league, the final champion must belong to us Eindhoven!"

If Eindhoven defeated Ajax 3:0 away, then Gretz's remarks would be full of weight, but the problem is the opposite, they are now losing to Ajax 0:3, so Gretz's remarks somewhat made people feel guilty.

For Gretz's confidence, Ye Qiu responded with a smile, but also challenged him.

"Three days later, I'm still at this stadium, at this press conference, and I'm definitely the one who has the last laugh!"

…………

…………

Ye Qiu's challenge to Eindhoven immediately became the headlines of the major newspapers in the Netherlands the next day.

The league title battle between Ajax and Eindhoven has become a big event in the Netherlands, attracting the attention of all fans in the country, because Ajax is the only team that can play against Eindhoven this season. Wen gave the team a hard blow.

Everyone has more or less a Robin Hood complex of supporting the weak in their hearts. Therefore, Eindhoven, which has maintained an unbeaten run of 25 rounds, has completely become a rich man in the eyes of many neutral fans. Oily, fat and decadent aristocrats, and Ajax has become a Robin Hood who started an uprising and robbed the rich and gave to the poor.

Under such circumstances, more people would be more willing to see Robin Hood ransacking the fat nobleman, laughing and distributing his wealth, while the fat nobleman was at the door of his house, watching Robin Hood leave, beating his chest violently.

The Ajax fans also stood beside the head coach Ye Qiu without hesitation this time. They all supported the head coach's tough remarks in unison, and believed that the ownership of the league championship should be reconsidered. After all, Ajax Jax hasn't lost yet!
But there are still some extremist fans who sneer at Ye Qiu's remarks, thinking that he is a Chinese, and it is impossible for him to beat Eindhoven in Gretz, because he comes from a weak football country, and he has no qualifications before. What?
There are also some doubts within Ajax. Some directors headed by Koerner even openly discussed the issue of Ye Qiu's future. Adrianse of II and Ronald Koeman of Waiters sent olive branches, thinking that these three people are very suitable for the requirements of the board of directors.

"We need someone who understands and conforms to the Ajax tradition to take charge of the team, so as to bring Ajax a real revival, and those foreigners, they don't know what Ajax is called. !"

Korner's remarks catered to a small number of extreme fans, but made more fans scoff, and many even criticized him, thinking that his remarks were inappropriate.

After the turmoil of the previous players forcing the board of directors, Van Prager took back part of his power, but he could not prevent the board of directors from firing in the media, because this is a society with freedom of speech, and they have the opportunity to express their rights reasonably and legally. But it is precisely because of Korner's means of disregarding the interests of the club that he was isolated on the board of directors.

Anyone who really loves Ajax knows that this moment is the best time for Ajax to hit the league championship, the UEFA Cup, and the Dutch Cup. At this time, splitting and disagreeing are simply betrayal.

The vast majority of fans are also dissatisfied with Korner's actions. Every day, some fans come to the road between Arenal Stadium and De Tokmoster, unfurl the flag, express their position, and resolutely wipe out Cancer on the Ajax board.

At the same time, Andre Kraan from the Ajax Senior Fans Committee also stood up and supported Ye Qiu, thinking that the current situation of the team is good, and even if Ye Qiu cannot win the championship this season, he should continue to stay. in the team.

"We should set up a mechanism so that those who don't understand football and people who don't understand football can stop dictating on the club's management. I believe this is good for Ajax and the team!"

Andre Kraan's remarks were directed at Kerner of the board of directors.

The latter immediately fought back, thinking that Klaan was old. Like Van Prager, he had lost the wisdom of the past. Ajax needed a younger and more courageous chairman to lead the team.

"Let's not forget that the turmoil and chaos of last season has proven that they simply don't have enough leadership to carry Ajax forward, so we need a change, a change from the top down! "

The more Korna makes such a fuss, the more he spreads his targets, the less he will win the hearts of the people.

In the last season, the reason why they were able to use this method to work was because of the team's poor performance, but this season, although the team has only won one dispensable Super Cup so far, Ye Qiu's team The progress he has made is obvious to all. No one who really understands football would expect him to win the championship in his first season under the leadership of the team.

In this case, since the team's progress is so obvious and the results are also very satisfactory, why is there still trouble?
