"He? What else can you think? ”

Ibrahimovic grinned, "Just a few days ago, he made it very clear to the manager and the management that he wanted to leave the team, that he would not renew his contract with the club, and that he would release him. ”

Yang Yang and Fermaelen were a little surprised, but they didn't expect Trabelsi to be so resolute this time.

After thinking about it deeply, Yang Yang can be sure that Trabelsi must have been in contact with several giant teams, and the other party must have given him some kind of promise, otherwise, he would not have acted against Ajax like this.

Yang Yang still remembers that AC Milan was one of the teams that poached Ajax that year.

And now, Manchester United, who failed to introduce Trabelsi in the summer, and AC Milan, who are in the same group in the Champions League group stage, are obviously the most urgent one to poach Trabelsi.

"What about the attitude of the club?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

'It's completely out of Ronald Koeman's ability and he certainly doesn't want his players to leave, but Trabelsi is very adamant and he can't do anything about it, but it's not clear what the technical director Van Gaal and the management mean at the moment, but I've vaguely heard that Van Gaal is inclined to sell.'

"Sell?" Yang Yang was a little surprised, but he felt that it was reasonable.

With the current market environment in European football, players are bent on leaving, and the contract is expiring again, and the club's forced retention will not have a good result, and it may even be a lose-lose situation.

For Ajax, the best course of action would be to renew Trabelsi and release him in the summer, so as to allow enough time to prepare a replacement and sell for a more reasonable price.

However, Trabelsi is clearly more inclined to leave in the winter, so that the buyer will pay a lower transfer fee, but Trabelsi can get more transfer negotiation leverage and get a higher salary package for himself.

As for the likes of AC Milan, they have a lot of money and Trabelsi can't play in the Champions League at all, so they don't care if it's winter or next summer, but if they can take the opportunity to upset Ajax's morale, it will be a huge benefit for the Rossoneri to return to the top of the group.

"It may not be able to sell, because a group of people led by Cruyff have lashed out at Van Gaal, believing that his ideas are too radical, whether it is the reform of the club's internal management system or the change of the club's business philosophy, it is unacceptable and will only bring devastating results to Ajax."

"But no matter what, Trabelsi has been banned, nominally because of a knee injury, but in fact, everyone knows that there are so many injuries in the club, he is fine, but he can't play a game."

Yang Yang's heart was full of sighs, as the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

In the past, when he was at Almere, he felt that Ajax was so high, a top club in the Netherlands, and always felt that everything about Ajax was beautiful, but now, he suddenly felt that Ajax, which he used to think of as a mountain, was just a small hill in European football.

Whether AC Milan is sincere in buying Trabelsi, no one can say, but relying on a transfer that seems to be in place, Ajax is completely disturbed.

Trabelsi was not wrong to make such a decision, he is already twenty-six years old, he is in the prime of his career, if he can't transfer now, in another two or three years, who else wants him?

So is Ajax at fault?

Yang Yang doesn't think that from the club's standpoint, letting Trabelsi go like this is intolerable in any case, which is tantamount to reproducing the failure in the nineties, and more importantly, what will other players think?

Didn't Ibrahimovic want to go? Van der Vaart doesn't want to go?

If the club is weak at this critical juncture, how will the team manage?

Of course, from the standpoint of giants such as AC Milan and Manchester United, they are not wrong, they are only for their own interests, and it doesn't even matter to them whether they can buy Trabelsi or not.

There is no Trabel West, there is no Trabel East, Trabel South.

Yang Yang suddenly realized that the scene that happened in front of his eyes was not real professional football?

'A lot of players in the first team are injured at the moment, Sonck has a back injury, O'Brien has a knee injury, Pienal has an ankle and Van der Vaart, all of them have injuries that can affect their game, and after blocking Trabelsi, it will be a big problem on the right side.

Speaking of which, Maxwell looked at Vermaelen, "If Coman lets Heitinga play on the right, then there is a lack of a centre-back in the middle, and this is your chance. ”

When Vermaelen heard this, he really felt that the first team was beckoning to him.

Regardless of Ajax's current internal and external troubles, in a way, this is an opportunity for young players.

Sneijder was the main team at a young age, Van der Vaart was the captain of the team at a young age, and Heitinga and De Jong all started to play the main role, isn't it because of all the problems in the team?

'There are also a lot of problems up front, Koeman has been very fond of partnering with Sonk lately, but he has not been able to find a suitable winger on the right flank, and De Ridder and Scola have not been convincing in this position.

Ibrahimovic pointed at Yang Yang and said with a smile: "I'm very much looking forward to the first team meeting a few of us, with you and Maxwell passing on the wings, Vermaelen sitting at the back, I am at the front, the four of us are together, see who can stop us." ”

The Swedish centre-forward said this arrogantly, even a little arrogantly, but he listened to it.

Whether it was Yang Yang, Fermaren, or Maxwell, they were all very excited to listen to.

None of them have any doubts about Ibrahimovic's determination, and the Swedish centre-forward has worked really hard in the past few months, both in training and in games, in order to be able to produce more impressive statistics and to be able to get himself out of the Eredivisie as soon as possible.

Van der Vaart, Sonk, Sneijder, Pinal, Escude, Galasek, De Jong, Maxwell, Trabelsi...... The main players of Ajax's first team are all extraordinary, and if they can really twist the team together, it is not impossible to reach the last eight of the Champions League.

For Yang Yang, entering the first team has become no longer out of reach.

…………

…………

Heading into November, the entire Dutch football scene is still full of optimism about Ajax.

In the tenth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax hosted AZ Alkmaar.

Although it was at home, Ajax conceded a goal in just five minutes, before Zlatan Ibrahimovic pulled one back in the 21st minute before conceding another two minutes later.

The game was very difficult, and it was not until the 77th minute of the second half that the main defender De Jong equalized for Ajax, and AZ Alkmaar did not hold on to it until the end, a foul in the box by Dekra in stoppage time won Ajax a penalty opportunity, and Dekra also accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off.

Galasek himself hit the penalty to save the three points for the home team.

With Ajax still the league leaders and the team's recent performances quite good, plus the Champions League in midweek, everyone is happy with Ajax's victory.

Coach Ronald Koeman was so confident in his midweek away at Celta Vigo that he even joked with reporters at his pre-match press conference that he had met Celta Vigo 12 times and had not lost a single one when he played at Barcelona.

Not only verbally, Koeman also made changes to the starting line-up, with Romanian wide player Mitea and Ghanaian player Yakubu also in the starting line-up, with Yakubu playing from winger to wing-back on the right.

The battle of words between the technical director and the legendary godfather has also started again.

Speaking to the media before the game, Louis van Gaal said he had full confidence in Ajax's quality.

"We have everything to win, so why can't we?"

Cruyff, who has been living in Spain, was quick to accuse Van Gaal's remarks in the media, arrogating that he was arrogant, "I don't see Van Gaal being able to leave anything for Ajax except impetuousness." ”

But the result of the game surprised everyone.

Ajax, who won two in a row in the group stage and only needed one more win to qualify, played very badly at the Balaidos Stadium.

Right-back Yakub, who started his first Champions League game, awarded a penalty in the 25th minute, which was converted by Celta Vigo's French midfielder Petr Lucín.

Fat, who wore the captain's armband, was very unhappy with this, retaliated against the opposing player, received a yellow card and will miss the next crucial game against AC Milan.

After the game was behind, the captain lost control of his emotions and played very disorganized on the field, Ajax quickly conceded again.

Silvinho managed to break through Yakubu's defensive zone and set up a goal for Milosevic to extend the score to 2-0.

Although Sonk quickly pulled a goal back for his team after the start of the second half, in the 63rd minute, Yakubu's mistake completely pulled Ajax back to hell.

In the end, Ajax lost 2-3 to the crucial game, with Van der Vaart netting a goal in the 82nd minute, but the Ajax captain will miss the crucial game against AC Milan, which will have a huge impact on the young Ajax.

After the game, the Dutch media once again attacked Ajax, especially against Koeman, for example, the starting Mitoya did not show anything at all, while Yakub managed to allow the opponent to score three goals.

Some media even used cartoons to satirize Coman and Yakubu, believing that the Ghana defender should be the best player of the game because he directed Vigo's three goals, and they were all very beautiful.

'Twenty-seven fouls, three times as many as Celta Vigo, which was completely unthinkable before, but it fully exposed the impetuosity of this young Ajax team and their out-of-control emotions, Van der Vaart is the best example of this.

'There are two Champions League group games left and if Koeman wants to take his team far, then he has to keep his team calm and at the same time be able to hold the goal.
