Chapter 64
The team returned to Amsterdam, and it is surprising that many Ajax fans came to welcome the team's return, you know, most of this is the special treatment that the team can only enjoy after winning the championship or defeating the sworn enemy.
In fact, the draw with Real Madrid was not the main reason for these fans to come, but they saw the spirit of Ajax never give up during the game, and many, many fans who watched the game in public places such as bars, cafes, and dance halls spontaneously organized the boys to come here to meet them on the highway.
The Ajax players opened the windows one after another and waved to the fans, and Suarez and Leng Fei, who performed well in this game, were even more sought after by the fans, and strings of flowers were constantly thrown on the two of them.
"Thank you! Thank you! Suarez poked his head out, enjoying the treatment of a king, and before he knew it, a trace of tears appeared in the corners of his bucktooth eyes.
The crowd dispersed, the players returned to their seats, Leng Fei looked at Bucktooth, the latter's mood seemed to be a little low, Leng Fei was a little strange, he had just accepted the cheers and applause of the fans, did it make Bucktooth unhappy?
"Captain?" Leng Fei screamed.
Bucktooth raised his head and looked at Leng Fei, "What's wrong?" ”
"What's wrong with you? Don't seem to be happy? Leng Fei asked.
"I ...... Sort of......" Bucktooth closed his eyes: "I've been here for four years, enjoying the enthusiasm and cheers of every fan here, but in the end I still want to leave?" ”
"Of course, I also know that this is football, to be exact, this is professional football." Bucktooth sighed.
Leng Fei nodded silently, when Leng Fei was still an ordinary fan, for the transfer between clubs, except for his favorite stars, he didn't have much feeling about the transfer between players, but when he became a professional player and had been playing for a club for more than a year, Leng Fei felt that professional football is sometimes really ruthless, for example, what Bucktooth said just now.
In the battle with Real Madrid, Leng Fei's value rose again, and it was more than Arsenal's 10 million pounds to sign Leng Fei, according to the estimates of the English media, when Leng Fei came to Arsenal next season, he would be worth at least 18 million or more, which is a conservative estimate, because it does not count what kind of performance Leng Fei can play after that.
The Champions League turmoil has not passed, the Eredivisie continues, the next game, is the traditional Dutch national derby, Ajax away to challenge Feyenoord, this game, only three days away from the just ended Champions League, but still many people are optimistic that Ajax can win Feyenoord away in this game, after all, the strength of the two sides is there.
In fact, Ajax did not disappoint the fans either, with goals from Hamdoi and Al-Isati narrowly beating arch-rivals Feyenoord 2-1 away, Leng Fei came off the bench in this game and performed well to provide an assist.
9month23day,The second round of the Dutch Cup started,Ajax's opponent is a team from the Dutch second league,Joel sent a number of substitutes in this campaign,Li Haojie also got the opportunity to play,With the full effort of the second team of Ajax,Ajax easily defeated Maastricht 4:0,Li Haojie performed well in this game,Scored a header,And there was a key interception,Joel also really began to pay attention to this compatriot of Leng Fei,It is also a very potential star。
On September 26, the seventh round of the league, Ajax ushered in the league's first rival, the last runner-up of the Eredivisie Twente, Ajax will go away to challenge the Eredivisie upstarts, this game has undoubtedly become the focus, recently, Ajax has played very well, but in the league has not met a team that can really test Ajax, this time is a good opportunity.
At the De Cherorsch Stadium, the strongest formation on both sides, this season, the former coach of Twente McClaren left, the new coach Adrianse, the Dutch coach used to be the youth coach of Ajax, Ajax won the Champions League trophy in 1995, as a youth coach he contributed a lot, and later, this brother also briefly served as the head coach of Ajax, but that was from the end of the last century to the beginning of the 21st century, in addition, the coach also coached Willem II of the Netherlands, The Hague, Zruwa and other Dutch teams, born in 1947, he can be regarded as a veteran of Dutch football.
In the face of his old club, Adrianse discharged the most commonly used formation to coach Ajax 4-3-3, Ajax's veteran Boschkel Town guarded the goal, Douglas, Brama, Janssen, Gonzalez, Nkufo, Luke de Jong and other Twente absolute main forces all played against Ajax, and Ajax had reservations, Ajax, who was about to face AC Milan a few days later, did not send all the main lineup, and Suleimani, who has been reduced to a substitute this season, replaced Bucktooth and got the opportunity to play, Li Haojie also replaced Wiltonghen,This game,Because Ajax's vice-captain Suarez and Wiltonghen did not play,So Ajax's goalkeeper Stekelenburg wore the captain's armband。
After a short entrance ceremony, the game began, the away team Ajax took the lead, Suarez was not on the field, Leng Fei became the only offensive core of Ajax, Ajax just kicked off, Leng Fei got a lot of balls, which made Leng Fei enjoy it very much, and he regained the feeling of the core in the Fierce team.
In the 24th minute, Leng Fei led Ajax to break the score on the field, Eriksen's direct kick to the feet of Soleimani, the latter in the penalty area diagonal pass Leng Fei, Leng Fei shot hard, the ball hit Douglas's hand, the referee immediately awarded a penalty, Uruguayan youngster Nicolas Lodeirou, who had just been transferred from the Ajax reserve team, scored a penalty, and Ajax led Twente 1:0 away.
Unfortunately, before the end of the first half, Twente equalized, it was Li Haojie's mistake, did not keep an eye on the opponent, Nkufo missed a goal and Joel was very unhappy with this.
On the way back to the locker room,Li Haojie was a little nervous,I don't know if this mistake,Will his future in Amsterdam Stadium be ruined,Leng Fei didn't know what to say,I could only comfort Li Haojie。
However,Joel didn't scold Li Haojie's mistake too much in the locker room,This surprised Leng Fei and Li Haojie,Li Haojie secretly decided to make a difference in the second half,Live up to his head coach。
Joel is a little hesitant, but he also knows that at the beginning of a professional player's career, blame needs to be appropriate, and if a new star with unlimited potential is degraded because of one game, it will not be worth the loss.
So Joel decided to give Li Haojie some more trust.
At the beginning of the second half, the Ajax attack group led by Leng Fei once again launched a strong attack on Twente's position, and in the 54th minute, Ajax's attack finally came to fruition, Eriksen assisted Hamdoi to score a goal, and Ajax once again exceeded the score of Twente.
But Twente didn't give up and added another goal in the 77th minute, when Luc de Jong set up Gonzalez to score a goal and the two sides were back on the same page.
The last five minutes,Ajax exceeded the score again,This time,It was Li Haojie who scored the goal,This goal,Li Haojie justified himself,When the game went to the ground for eighty-six minutes,Leng Fei broke through on the right side,I was going to cut inside,But as soon as I looked up,I found that Li Haojie was already in place in the penalty area,Leng Fei subconsciously got up and crossed,The ball accurately found Li Haojie's landing point,The latter jumped high,Powerful header,The ball flew into the goal from between Boshkel's fingers。
This is Li Haojie's first league goal this season,And it's a heavyweight event like Twente,Li Haojie was very happy,Rushed to Leng Fei's side,The two celebrated the goal。
Leng Fei is no stranger to this goal,During the period of the former Fierce Warrior Team,Li Haojie and Leng Fei often cooperate so well to break goals,Although I have not played with Li Haojie like this in this life,But,There is still an invisible tacit understanding between the two sides,This goal,The goal is perfect。
Joel in the coach's box,Can't help but stand up and applaud this goal,He began to be proud,He didn't replace Li Haojie at halftime,Now it seems,It's the right choice。
After Li Haojie and Leng Fei celebrated the goal,Ran to Joel's side and hugged him,The old man smiled and hugged Li Haojie,By the way, Li Haojie smiled and said:"Good job,The future Amsterdam stadium,There will definitely be your place。 ”
Li Haojie heard Yoel's answer similar to a promise,His heart was extremely excited,He can finally show his family,He, Li Haojie, is also a material who can play good football。
At the end of the game, Ajax defeated FC Twente 3-2, and after the end of this key battle, it caused a lot of talk among Dutch fans, Ajax became the biggest favorites to win the title again this season, but this topic will gradually be overshadowed by the match between Ajax vs AC Milan in two days.
Leng Fei is also looking forward to the next upcoming AC Milan, so far, Leng Fei has really played against two giants in official matches, one is Liverpool in the Premier League, the other is Real Madrid who just drew not long ago, and now AC Milan, all of which are the best clubs in history, looking at the overall situation, Leng Fei performed very well against Liverpool and Real Madrid, although he failed to lead the team to defeat these two teams, but it is undeniable that Leng Fei's performance is very perfect.
Of course,In addition to these,Leng Fei also has to pay attention to another problem,Yesterday,Domestic father called,Leng Fei learned that he has entered the shortlist of the Chinese national youth team,Li Haojie's name is also impressively listed,The Chinese Football Association will be on September 29th,That is, the day after the match with AC Milan,Announce the 28-man squad of the national youth team。
The Asian Under-19 Youth Football Championship will start on October 3 and end on October 17, and if Leng Fei is selected for the Chinese national youth team, he will miss Ajax's next three games, including the Champions League group stage against Auxerre.
However, with the strength of Ajax, it should not be a problem to win the third place in Ligue 1 at home, this season, Auxerre's record in Ligue 1 is a disaster, after 9 rounds of Ligue 1 matches, Ousterre is ranked 17th, and it is likely to be classified into the relegation zone.
The other two league games, which are at home against Breda and Utrecht, should not be a problem to win, and Leng Fei is much more relieved when he looks at the schedule.
In addition, my father also mentioned on the phone that the two Football Association officials who came to his house last time were found to have taken several bribes, and the court is ready to start hearing these two masters, so that Leng Fei does not have to worry about these messy things, plays football with peace of mind, and is also a good thing to be able to play for the country.
The day before the match with AC Milan, after the training, Leng Fei and Wanwan went out to dinner together, since the last time he went out on a date with Wanwan, for a month, Leng Fei has not had a good dinner with Wanwan, mainly because Leng Fei's game and training tasks are relatively busy, and Wanwan is in school, and there is a lot of work, but despite this, Leng Fei still feels a little sorry, so he decided to have a good dinner today, but, unfortunately, this time Liella also came with Wanwan.
Moreover, this guy also said to Leng Fei with a very scoundrel reason: "It's okay, you don't want me to be here, you linger on yours, I'll eat mine!" ”
Although there is a big light bulb in Liella, it is not all without harm, at least, Liella is a senior fan, and the two of them have some common language with Leng Feiwanwan, and the three of them chatted late before they broke up.
AC Milan, referred to as Milan by Chinese fans, is one of the most famous football clubs in Italy, and one of the most glorious teams in the history of the Champions League, she won only two less trophies than the Century Club Real Madrid, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the second in the century, there have been countless legends here, such as the retired Maldini father and son, the Dutch Three Musketeers, Rivera, Baresi, Tasotti, etc., as well as the current former World Footballer Kaka, Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shepchenko, Super Pipoinzaghi and so on.
Although AC Milan is now ageing, it has to be admitted that they are still one of the top clubs in Europe.
The Ajax players are in the final warm-up for the game against AC Milan, and in a few hours, the Italian club will be in Amsterdam.
Today's AC Milan can be described as menacing, in the league, AC Milan's recent results are average, until the last round only won the first of the last three rounds, but they are in a good situation in the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid and Ajax draw, AC Milan occupies the top position, today they must win Ajax, to consolidate their group top position, and Real Madrid, AC Milan can not count on Real Madrid to send them points, So they came to Amsterdam with the determination to win, but they seem to ignore the fact that Ajax can draw away from home to a team in the top three of the UEFA club rankings such as Real Madrid, and how can they not do so, or even win, on their home turf?
Ajax has been in good form recently, and in the last round, they defeated the last runner-up of the Eredivisie Twente, and they are at the top of the Eredivisie standings.
When AC Milan came to Amsterdam, Leng Fei saw Xiao Luo, the Brazilian had left a deep impression on Leng Fei's elegant footwork, and what was even more impressive was the eternal smile on Xiao Luo's face, although he didn't look very worthy of the audience, but his smile was usually very contagious, giving people a sense of happiness.
Ronaldinho spent 21 million euros on AC Milan in 2008 but never regained his peak form at Barcelona, but the former Ballon d'Or winner is a superstar after all, and no one can underestimate his ability to change the game, which Joel repeatedly stressed to the players in the dressing room.
AC Milan's frontcourt lineup is luxurious, three players, Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Robinho, are worth at least 20 million euros, and the Swedish tower and the bicycle teenager are in better shape than Xiao Luo at present, so in this game, Ajax will play very hard.
Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides,
Ajax: Goalkeeper 1 Stekelenburg
Defenders 2 Van der Wiel, 3 Aldreveld, 4 Vertonghen, 11 Emmanulsen
Midfielders 5 Anita, 12 De Jong, 6 Enault
Forward 9 Hamdoi, 10 Leng Fei, 16 Suarez
AC Milan: goalkeeper 32 Abbiati
Defenders: 13 Nesta, 20 Abate, 33 Silva, 70 Antonini
Midfielders: 8 Gattuso, 21 Pirlo, 27 Boateng
Forwards: 11 Ibrahimovic, 70 Robinho, 80 Ronaldinho
Players from both sides enter the pitch and in this game, the Swedish god Tajbrahimovic is about to face his old club Ajax, who once groomed him and made him a superstar.
The game began with a whistle from Czech referee Kovalik and the visitors AC Milan kicked off with Ibrahimovic and Ronaldinho driving the ball out of the middle circle and back to Gattuso.
Gattuso continued to pass the ball back to Nesta, who then passed it back to Abbiati.
Abbiati took control of the ball and headed for midfield, where Andrea Pirlo picked it up.
AC Milan midfielder brain glanced at the field, suddenly sent a long-distance through plug of more than 35 yards, the ball was sent to the feet of the bicycle boy Robinho, Robinho quickly pedaled the bicycle and shook Emanulsen, directly shot hard, the ball grazed the right post and flew out of the bottom line, Stekelenburg didn't expect the attack to come so quickly, didn't react, the only reaction was to look back, fortunately, luck.
AC Milan came up and gave Ajax a dismount, which made many Ajax fans who came to watch the game break out in a cold sweat, but seeing that the ball did not go in, Ajax fans breathed a sigh of relief, and then booed Robinho who shot the goal.
Robinho rubbed his head, the game had just started, and he hadn't yet entered the rhythm, otherwise, the shot just now should have been able to score.
After that shot, AC Milan began to counter-attack, led by the Swedish tower of AC Milan's attack group launched a fierce attack on the door of Ajax, Ibrahimovic did not give the old club a little face, in the face of his former teammate Stekelenburg, Ibrahimovic looked extremely cold.
In the first fifteen minutes of the game, AC Milan took the initiative on the field, but in the sixteenth minute of the game, Ajax surprised AC Milan.
It was after Ronaldinho's through ball was blocked by Vertonghen, Emanuelsson stepped forward to receive the blocked ball, and then sent it to the front of the field, Gattuso stepped forward to scramble, but Gattuso did not grab the ball, and as soon as Eno touched the ball, he passed the ball to Hamdoi.
The Moroccan shooter did not choose to dribble the ball, but passed the ball to Suarez in front, and Bucktooth also continued to pass, Leng Fei received the ball from Suarez, and made a one-two with Van der Wiel next to him, past the left-back Antonini, Nesta came to make up for the defense, but Leng Fei also passed, and De Jong came up to receive the ball.
After winning the ball, De Jong steadied the ball and stuffed it into the box.
AC Milan defender Silva rushed out decisively and tried to grab the ball in front of Hamdoi, but Suarez was the first to arrive and cut the ball away, Silva was shocked, and quickly beckoned Nesta and Abate to come up to help Suarez.
In the penalty area, Bucktooth shook off Nesta like a deft fox, and although Nesta quickly made an effective defensive move, the football was no longer at Suarez's feet, and Bucktooth cleverly chose to pass back, and Hamdoi received the ball.
The Moroccan striker didn't hesitate and fired straight at the penalty spot, Abbiati reacted quickly and pounced to the right to touch the ball, but it couldn't stop it from flying into the net.
"The ball is in!!! Come in!! Come in!! Hamdoy!! €2.3 million!! Ajax picked up a big bargain!! Cronne roared hoarsely, praising the Moroccan striker that Ajax had bought from AZ Alkmaar for the price of cabbage.
Ajax 1:0 AC Milan, Ajax once again gave the world a warning, they are not giants ATM! Coupled with the last away draw with Real Madrid, many bookmakers have to re-examine whether their odds for Ajax to qualify are a little lower, and then have raised the odds of the possibility of Ajax, of course, Real Madrid and AC Milan are still the two giants of this odds, indicating that most people are still only optimistic that Ajax can make a small revolution between the two giants, and it is still very difficult to really qualify.
Joel was very satisfied with the team's lead over AC Milan, the old man gave a thumbs up on the sidelines, saying that the team's attack was very beautiful, yes, this time Ajax's attack was smooth, very perfect, from Vertonghen's break, to Emmanulsen, then to Eno, then to Hamdoi, and then to Bucktooth, which then split the side to Leng Fei, Leng Fei and Van der Wiel's two passes or two, and then passed to De Jong's feet, De Jong went straight to Suarez, Suarez passed back to Hamdoi, and finally completed the shot, The whole process, except for the somewhat embarrassed defense of Enaux by Gattuso, everything else was almost flawless.
