Chapter 1524 Would You Like to Show some Face?
"Good morning!"
Yang Yang quickly walked into the administrative office of the Cruyff Stadium, and waved to the front desk sitting behind the desk from a distance.
"Mr. Yang!" The front desk lady immediately stood up, walked out of the office area, and pointed to her right side, "They are all waiting for you in the conference room." She walked ahead and led Yang Yang over.
After many years, Ajax's office has been redecorated, and Yang Yang is a little strange.
But everyone knows that he is not only a celebrity of the club, but also the owner of the team, so his attitude is very polite.
"Do you know what happened?" Yang Yang asked with concern.
The front desk turned around and smiled helplessly at him, "We were sued by Standard Liege."
"Sued?" Yang Yang was a little surprised.
While speaking, they had already arrived at the meeting room, and they saw Van der Sar, Van Gaal, Overmars and other key members of the club's management and technical team had already taken their seats, and it seemed that he was the only one missing.
"Give me a glass of water, thank you." Yang Yang said to the front desk.
After the front desk agreed and closed the door to exit, Yang Yang also walked to the top seat and sat down directly.
"Look at this first." Van Gaal handed over a fax.
Yang Yang took it over and saw that it was a notice from UEFA.
Standard Liege sued Ajax on the grounds that Yang Yang violated the rules!
The Belgian team collected some evidence and submitted it to UEFA, proving that the head coach of Ajax is Xavi Alonso in name, but in fact, the Spaniard is just an assistant coach, and Yang Yang is the team player. The actual helm of the team.
According to the current UEFA official information, Yang Yang has not obtained a coaching certificate at the level of coaching Ajax, because he has never coached a youth team at all, so it is illegal for him to coach Ajax.
Standard Liege believes that due to Yang Yang's violation, UEFA should impose a suspension and reconsider the score of the first leg, because this is very unfair to Standard Liege.
"Unfair?" Yang Yang was a little amused.
"It's so unfair for me to go." Edgar Davis immediately became angry, "Why didn't they say it before the game? Only after the game is over? Isn't it fair? I just don't believe it. "
Van der Sar made a reassuring gesture towards Davis, signaling him not to worry.
Everyone knows what Standard Liege is trying to do at this time, and even said in hindsight that this is normal.
"Although the UEFA Champions League qualifiers are not very valuable, after a game, the ticket revenue, UEFA's prize money, and the share of the broadcast fee are still quite impressive overall. Whether it is Standard Liege or ours Jaques, it is impossible to turn a blind eye, let alone, everyone wants to enter the Champions League group stage."
Van der Sar looked very calm. He was not only mature, but also stable. He has been in charge of Ajax for many years, and he has become more tolerant.
"Needless to say, what Standard Liege is doing now is to suspend Yang Yang. They are afraid that Yang Yang will play in the second round. Also, punishing our head coach is clearly disrupting our formation and deployment and interfering with us. Preparations for the second round." Overmars calmly analyzed.
"Yeah, so we have to take countermeasures."
After Van Gaal finished speaking, he looked at Yang Yang, as if asking for his opinion.
Things like Yang Yang have always existed in European football, but everyone has a tacit understanding, that is, if the people do not raise officials, they will not be punished.
But the problem is, if someone reports it, then UEFA can no longer turn a blind eye.
After all, this kind of thing involves a lot of interests. Once it is dealt with unfairly, it will be bad for everyone. Even if it accumulates for a long time, the Champions League and Europa League will be ruined.
As early as when Yang Yang decided to coach Ajax, he had already expected this situation.
The problem in the Netherlands is not big. Ajax still has a lot of say in the Dutch Football Association. More importantly, basically no team will report Yang Yang, because this is obviously an unflattering thing, not to mention whether it can be suspended Yang Yang, even if he is suspended, the punishment will be very light, but he may completely offend Ajax because of this.
To put it bluntly, among all professional teams, who doesn't have a few operations that step on the line?
It's just that I didn't expect that someone would make trouble so fast.
But this is also good, UEFA has come forward to suspend the game, so it is not easy for the Netherlands to make a sound, which saves some trouble.
"What does UEFA say?" Yang Yang asked calmly.
Van Gaal sighed, "They will send people from Switzerland to investigate today. If it is true, the suspension is probably inevitable, but I think the scope of the suspension can be negotiated."
Yang Yang understood what Van Gaal meant, the old fox wanted to manipulate, because now Yang Yang has dual identities in Ajax, one is the team's chief assistant coach, and the other is a player.
If it is only the status of the suspended coach, then the player must still play.
It's impossible to ban Yang Yang from playing as a player just because he coached the team in violation of the rules?
Besides, if Yang Yang violated the rules, if he really wants to file a lawsuit, he still has to argue.
At the very least, Yang Yang is an assistant coach no matter in the contract or in the information reported to UEFA.
"What do you think?" Yang Yang asked Van der Sar.
"I think Luiz's opinion is worth considering," Van der Sar said.
Yang Yang laughed, "To be honest, I didn't even think about playing in the second round."
Everyone was a little surprised. This was a crucial battle, and all the tickets were sold out, so there was no room for loss.
Seeing everyone's nervous expressions, Yang Yang smiled and waved his hands, "I mean, I have confidence in the team, and I think they need such experience, which can help them grow and improve faster."
"Of course, at the critical moment, I should still be there. As I said, I have the confidence to lead the team to the group stage. If luck is good, it is possible to advance to the knockout round."
Everyone felt Yang Yang's confidence, and at the same time they all believed in it.
Although Yang Yang led the team to only play one official game, and only played a good goal in the first half, but to be honest, it was those 45 minutes of the game that made everyone see the potential of Ajax , and the changes brought about by Yang Yang's coaching.
This Ajax team is very aggressive and quite impactful. Whether it is the attack from the two sides or the center, it is very methodical, and the high-position pressing and oppression in the frontcourt are also very impressive.
There must still be a lot of problems. It is impossible for a young team to have problems, but overall, the 45 minutes of the game gave people confidence and hope. This is also the source of everyone's confidence in Yang Yang.
"That's why." Yang Yang pondered for a while, and made a quick decision, "After UEFA came, we didn't bother, and admitted it directly. If we want to be banned, we will be banned, but as Luiz said, the scope of the ban cannot affect I play as a player, and the rest, as long as he likes to be banned."
Everyone laughed. If Yang Yang is still allowed to play as a player, is there any point in banning him as a coach?
Besides, one crime cannot be punished twice. If Yang Yang is suspended this time, Yang Yang will be able to sit on the coaching bench in an open and aboveboard manner. It is even estimated that this coaching certificate will be issued as an exception.
After all, UEFA also wants face.
What's more, Yang Yang was shortlisted for UEFA's awards ceremony in Monaco at the end of August. He was really in a hurry, and UEFA couldn't hold back his face. Therefore, Yang Yang should be banned as a head coach, and probably not as a player. risk.
…………
…………
Yang Yang walked all the way back to De Tokmoster from Cruyff Stadium.
At this time, on the first team training ground, Harvey Alonso was leading the team to train intensively.
After the away game against Standard Liege, Ajax adjusted the training plan, focusing on the intensity in training. There is only one purpose, that is, through high-intensity training, so that all players have no energy in every training session. When you spend time to distract your mind, you must devote yourself wholeheartedly and go all out.
Through this kind of training, let the players develop a habit, and in the game, they will naturally be able to maintain their concentration for 90 minutes.
When Yang Yang came to the training area, it happened to be the end of the training session, and everyone moved towards him.
"What's going on?" Harvey Alonso asked with great concern.
The same is true for everyone else, because just now when the training started, Yang Yang answered a phone call and left in a hurry, something must have happened.
"It's nothing, I'm the defendant, and I think I'll be suspended." Yang Yang said nonchalantly.
When everyone knew the cause and effect, they couldn't help feeling a little angry and worried at the same time.
Without Yang Yang's support, can they really beat the opponents of Standard Liege and the play-offs?
You know, Ajax has not advanced to the Champions League group stage for many years, and even many players in the team don't even know what the Champions League group stage is like. Now Yang Yang is suspended again, which makes them panic.
"What are you panicking?" Yang Yang saw the change in the player's expression, and immediately said, "Isn't there no suspension?"
After a pause, Yang Yang said again: "Besides, so what if it's a suspension? I just said harsh words in the office. Without me, we'll still beat Standard Liege at home. At least Winning him by four balls, hehe, how dare you sue me?"
The Ajax team is full of young players, and they are all high-spirited. Hearing what Yang Yang said, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
Isn't it?
It's none of your business what head coach people like to use?
No coaching certificate?
Isn't this letting you do it?
You can't even play a team led by someone without a coaching certificate, so you have the nerve to appeal?
How about some face?
"Let me tell you, next Wednesday, I may be suspended for the game. Even if there is no suspension, I will not play. You have to give me a sigh of relief. If you don't kill your opponent, you just wait to shed your skin!"
Instead of being disgusted by Yang Yang's "intimidation", all the players became excited.
"Don't worry, boss, I won't kill them!" Jovic said eagerly.
It can be seen that, scoring a goal in the first round, this kid knows the taste.
The others also kept nodding their heads and speaking in response.
