Chapter 78
"Al! Next up is you, you go up and take the second penalty! "Jan, you're the third." Hamdoi and Vertonghen nodded their heads.
"Kim, the fourth...... Over to you! Joel turned his head, although Leng Fei rarely takes penalty kicks, but Leng Fei has also taken penalties in training, and the fourth is not the one with the most pressure.
Leng Fei nodded silently, in training, his penalty hit rate was still good.
"Sim, you're the fifth!" "Miralem, you sixth! Gregory, Seventh ...... "After arranging the order of the penalty shootout, Joel looked across and seemed to be almost done.
After a minute, the referee signaled that both sides could start.
"Penalty shootout! Ajax kicked off first, and the penalty taker was ...... Dezeu. ”
De Zeou walked to the penalty area, solemnly placed the ball at the penalty spot, and looked up at the opposition goalkeeper Mihajlovic, who was constantly bouncing in place and warming up.
After putting the ball away, De Zeou took a few steps back and stared at Mihajlovic closely.
The referee stood next to him, and after both sides were ready, the referee raised his hand: "B!" ”
The tense atmosphere spreads over the Amsterdam stadium, and the penalty shootout is always the most cruel and testing thing.
One step, two steps, eyes on the left side of the goal, De Zeou did not hesitate to kick out, the ball flew to the other side, Mihajlovic flew to save, but he was deceived by De Zeou's eyes and pounced to the right.
Dezewu clenched his hands into fists and swung them fiercely in the air a few times, venting the tension in his heart.
On the scoreboard of the penalty shootout, Ajax 1:0 Twente.
FC Twente's first penalty taker was midfielder Brama, who opted for the top left corner of the goal, and Vermeer judged the right direction, but the ball was too fast for Vermel to do anything.
Ajax 1:1 Twente.
Hamdoi stepped up to the penalty spot and set the ball away, and Mihajlovic tried to find some nervous look on the Moroccan's face, but alas, the Moroccan's face was so long that it was impossible to see what expression was on his face.
“2:1! Ajax has once again taken the initiative! Cronet gripped the microphone tightly, and he felt like his palm had given the microphone a comfortable hot bath.
FC Twente's second penalty taker was also a goalscorer, Ruiz.
After Ruiz put the ball down, he took a few steps back, and when the referee's whistle blew, he ran up and shot hard!
The ball goes over the crossbar!
"God help Ajax!! Ruiz misses the penalty!! ”
The Amsterdam Stadium was jubilant, and Ruiz, who missed the penalty, was unceremoniously ridiculed by the home fans: "There's a player named Ruiz!!" Oooh oh! He loves to hit planes in the sky! Oh oh oh!! ”
Ruiz heard the ridicule of the Ajax fans and turned pale.
After Ruiz missed the penalty, the initiative came to Ajax, but the pressure also came to Ajax invisibly, and the third penalty player, Vertonghen walked to the penalty spot.
He's the team's captain on the field! He had to take the penalty! He kept telling himself in his heart.
The referee's whistle sounded in his ears, and Vertonghen stared at Mikhailovich, who also stared at him.
I'll get in! Vertonghen yelled in his heart, rushed to the ball, and shot with a single shot!
Finished! Vertonghen's heart tightened, he made a low-level mistake!
The foot didn't hit the ball, and the spikes grazed the ball!!
It's not just boccia, it's slow! Mihajlovic held the ball with ease.
“SHIT! What the hell! Vertonghen cursed inwardly.
"Vertonghen made a mistake! Haha, it's like a three-year-old kicking a penalty! Mihajlovic holds the ball firmly! The initiative in Ajax's hands was pushed back at once! This is great news for Twente! Enschede's commentator didn't mean to give Vertonghen the slightest hint of face, and scoffed.
The fans of Twente also found a reason to laugh at Ajax, and in order to counter the Ajax players' taunts at Ruiz just now, they also unceremoniously shouted: "Oh yes, look at that! Their captain is not as good as a three-year-old! ”
Vertonghen walked up to his teammates: "I'm sorry to disappoint you......"
Leng Fei was the first to stand up: "It's okay, there are still us behind." With that, he stood up and patted Vertonghen on the shoulder: "Look at us! ”
In fact, when he said this, Leng Fei didn't know the bottom of his heart, in training, he could score a lot of penalties without pressure, but now, if the next Twente player scores a penalty, then he is the one who faces the pressure, if he misses two penalties in a row, it will be a big blow to the player who takes the penalty later, and more importantly, the player behind him, does he have the opportunity to take a penalty......
The third penalty taker in Twente was Lanzate, and the 35-year-old slowly stepped forward, put the ball away and looked at Vermeer.
Vermeer was constantly bouncing in place, occasionally opening his hands to make the usual penalty pose, hoping to distract Lanzart, but the latter has been unmoved, 35 years old, nothing in the world......
When the referee's whistle blew, Lanzat ran forward, as if he was deliberately hanging his appetite, running very slowly, but his feet were definitely not slow, fast as lightning!
The ball hit the bottom left of the net, and Vermeer stretched out and flew away, if he had Stekelenburg's height, he might have saved it, but unfortunately he didn't.
Lanzat waved his hand vigorously, it was impossible to say that he was not nervous at all.
Next...... The Ajax players looked at Leng Fei, who also stood up and walked towards the penalty area, where Mihajlovic was already standing on the goal line, looking at the player who was caught by him in the first half with a serious face, only he knew how difficult the goal in the first half was, but the Chinese under twenty years old in front of him did it.
Leng Fei walked to the penalty spot, there was a commotion in the stands of the home team, and then many fans shouted Leng Fei's name, after Suarez left, Leng Fei was the biggest name of their team, although it was only on loan, but Leng Fei's performance in the past two seasons has conquered the fans.
This goal may not be the most important goal in the whole penalty shootout, but in the penalty shootout, every goal is crucial, for example, now.
Leng Fei stood on the penalty spot, took a few steps back, looked at the goal, and then looked at Mihajlovic, some people said, in the penalty shootout, you must kill the other party with your eyes, Mihajlovic is working hard to scare Leng Fei with his eyes.
However, Mikhailovich's eyes were sour, and the other party did not blink, staring at him deadly.
The referee blew the whistle and signaled that the penalty could begin.
Leng Fei stood in front of the football, and for the first time felt the distance between life and death on the football field, which turned out to be only twelve yards.
The body moved involuntarily, one step, two steps, three steps, and it was already in front of the ball! Leng Fei raised his foot, he didn't have time to deliberately aim in any direction of the goal, and shot directly with his foot, he believed in his first feeling!
The ball flew to the top right, Mihajlovic reacted when Leng Fei ran to the second step, flying towards the upper right corner, Mihajlovich's reaction was quite fast, and the prediction was also accurate, his hand touched the football, and he pushed it safely......
With such a push, the ball deviated from its original trajectory, hit the inside post and bounced into the goal.
Leng Fei saw the ball cross the goal line, the burden in his heart fell, just now when he took the penalty, he was surprisingly calm, but now, seeing Mihajlovich's wonderful save, his heart rose and fell several times, until the ball went in, his heart returned to calm.
There was no time to rejoice, the next penalty kick was about to begin, and the Twente penalty taker was Chadley, and the Belgian walked up, first picked up the football and wiped it with his shirt, then put it at the penalty spot, stood up and took a few steps back.
Vermeer spread his arms and half-crouched down to increase his defensive area, staring at Chadley.
After a second...... Frustrated, Vermel picked the ball out of the net, hugged De Jong, who came up to take the penalty, and pushed it to the touchline, where Mihajlovic walked up and stood on the line.
De Jong looked at Mihajlovic and then at his teammates not far away, who were looking at him expectantly.
Be sure to enter! I won't make any more mistakes! De Jong said to himself through gritted teeth.
After the whistle, De Jong sent a penalty, a spoon penalty! Mikhailovich was completely misjudged, his flying save didn't save anything!
After the goal, De Jong yelled at the sky and his team-mates stepped forward to hug him.
The last penalty taker at FC Twente was Luke de Jong, and Sim de Jong turned his head and made eye contact with his brother, and it was a very complicated look.
Luuk de Jong smiled and then dropped the ball to the penalty spot and Vermeer was on the line again.
Penalty shootout, anyone can be a hero, this time, Vermeer did it, Ajax's substitute goalkeeper, saved the penalty kick of Twente's top scorer Luke de Jong, the whole game including extra time and penalty shootout were all over, Ajax penalty 4:3 Twente, the aggregate score Ajax 7:6 Twente, successfully defended the Dutch Cup championship!
One by one, his team-mates rushed forward to celebrate the title with the success of the succession of the back-up goalkeeper Vermeer, the black goalkeeper who will become Ajax's number one goalkeeper in the near future, as Stekelenburg will soon be on the move.
Twente missed the championship in the penalty shootout, and Luke de Jong, who missed the crucial penalty, was of course under a lot of pressure, as his elder brother, Sim de Jong did not forget to run to Luke de Jong's side after celebrating, comforting the latter, but the latter was in a bad mood and directly pushed away his brother, Sim de Jong also understood that his brother was in a bad mood now, so he did not continue to bother him, returned to the team, and celebrated the championship with the players.
Many people may say that a Dutch Cup is nothing, or that the trophy is not very valuable, but no one minds adding a trophy to their room of honour, let alone winning a trophy in this not-so-successful season.
When captain Vertonghen and vice-captain De Zeou lifted the Dutch Cup trophy, the Amsterdam stadium was in a state of jubilation, this season, for Ajax fans is not a perfect memory, Suarez left Anfield, Leng Fei's loan contract is about to expire, Emma **sen also started a new journey at the San Siro, this season, fortunately in such a situation can also win a championship trophy, perhaps the greatest consolation, of course, Eriksen's emergence has also given Ajax fans hope for the future, including Li Haojie, Özbiliz, Ebesilio, Rodeiro and other players, which also have a certain value of expectation.
After winning the championship, because the last round of the league is not over, Ajax still has to compete with PSV Eindhoven for the Champions League place, so the celebration did not last long, it ended soon, and the opponent of Ajax's last round of games, coincidentally, is the opponent of today's game Twente, Twente has locked the league championship one round in advance, the Dutch Cup has also ended, most of the players are basically focused on the holiday, and today, Ajax also defeated Twente, To be able to win the last game, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Back home, Leng Fei and Van Holmst's family celebrated the championship together, the parents at home and Xiaoyan, here in the evening, Liella and Lavinho and others sent congratulations, Leng Fei was also in a good mood.
On May 15, 2011, in the final match of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged the Twente team that had just met in the Dutch Cup not long ago, and finally, with Leng Fei's brace and Vertonghen's icing on the cake, defeated Twente 3:1, this game, in addition to being the last game of the Eredivisie this season, in addition to Ajax because of Eindhoven's draw, won a chapter of Champions League tickets, and was also Leng Fei's last game in Ajax.
scored twice, this is the answer he handed in in the last game, this end, very perfect, when the final whistle of the game blew, all the Ajax members invariably looked at Leng Fei.
The latter is constantly applauding the fans, he knows that this is the last time he will play on this lawn, wearing an Ajax uniform, two years of experience, he already has a deep affection for this team, except for Suarez, he has a very good relationship with most of the players here, Van de Wiel, Vertonghen, De Eu, Eriksen, Stekelenburg, Aldreveld, of course, Li Haojie and others, are already buddy-level people, Van Homest's family, is also very approachable, Although Van Holmst is his agent, he is also like a father, who has given him a lot of care in life, thinking of this, Leng Fei feels that it is a very painful thing to leave.
England? Aside from a trip to Liverpool and a few friendlies, I didn't have a deep impression of it.
When the agreement was reached with Arsenal, the leaseback clause made a big difference, but a year passed quickly.
Future...... What does it look like?
After the game, the 2010~2011 season of the Eredivisie ended, in addition to the team to play the relegation play-offs and European play-offs, there is no game task of the team directly announced the holiday, the Eredivisie is a relatively easy league, the game is relatively less than other leagues, and there are not as many cups as the Premier League, after the game, a month and a half long holiday began.
After the match with Twente, Leng Fei and his teammates came to the hotel, firstly, the club paid the players and coaches who had worked hard for a season, in addition, to celebrate the championship of the Dutch Cup, and finally, it was for Leng Fei's practice, this season passed, Leng Fei was about to leave Amsterdam, where he had lived for two years, looking at his teammates who were eating and drinking at the same table, Leng Fei felt a little melancholy and was leaving......
Ajax's current chairman Frances Lavinho also attended this reception, although this is not the first time Leng Fei has seen Lavigno's father, but so close, it is the first time to see it, it is not difficult to see from between the eyebrows that this is a group of successful people, from a distance, people will feel unapproachable, in fact, when talking to him, it doesn't feel like it's as imagined, just like Wanwan's father Tang Hui.
Towards the end of the reception, he took the lead in standing up and wishing Leng Fei all the best for his new club, which is undoubtedly a higher stage after leaving Ajax.
Francis's words made Leng Fei feel a little more good about the club president, who was originally not impressed.
A few days after the reception, the Eredivisie was all over, the Dutch Football Association once again announced the winners of this season's awards, of course, as usual also invited the reception, after the best newcomer in the Eredivisie last season, Leng Fei once again won the second place in the best foreign aid and best player in the Eredivisie this season, this season, Leng Fei scored a total of 18 goals and 15 assists in the Eredivisie, two consecutive seasons of goals and assists double-double, which is no better for a 19-year-old.
What's even more commendable is that Leng Fei's goals and assists in the Champions League are 6 assists and 5, in any case, it is difficult to imagine that this is a player's first time in the Champions League, and, in the face of giants like Real Madrid and AC Milan, Leng Fei is not afraid, and has scored a total of five goals from these two strong bodies, and when facing Auxerre, Leng Fei only scored one goal, of course, if it is not for the second time against Accerre, Leng Fei's slump, this goal number will rise.
At the reception held by the Dutch Football Association, Leng Fei's teammate, Danish kid Christian Eriksen won the award of the best newcomer of the season, goalkeeper Stekelenburg once again won the best goalkeeper of the season by virtue of the average number of goals conceded per game, this season to beat Leng Fei to become the best player is the champion member of Twente, midfielder Theo Janssen, in the process of winning the championship in Twente, the midfielder played a decisive role, but a few hours before this reception, Theo Janssen's agent has announced that Ajax have offered a contract to his client, noting that the transfer is likely to be completed in the following week.
As the reception draws to a close, the best eleven of this season's Eredivisie has been announced, and this time, this season's champions and runners-up are once again on the list:
Formation 4-3-3
Goalkeeper: Stekelenburg (Ajax)
Defenders: Van der Wiel (Ajax), Douglas (FC Twente), Wisgerhoff (FC Twente), Pieters (PSV Eindhoven)
Midfielders: Janssen (FC Twente), Fel (Feyenoord), Sim de Jong (Ajax)
Forwards: Leng Fei (Ajax), Luuk de Jong (FC Twente), Fremancks (Nijmegen)
Subs: Mihajlovic (FC Twente), Vertonghen (Ajax), Struttmann (PSV Eindhoven), Holman (AZ Alkmaar), Wijnaldum (Feyenoord), Van Wolfswinkel (Utrecht), Blikin (The Hague)
After all this is over, the holiday of more than a month begins, Leng Fei did not rush home this time, and called home, although the little girl yelled to let her go back, but Leng Fei told them that she had something else to do these days, and that Leng Fei was about to have her final exam, so Leng Fei stayed in the Netherlands to play for two days.
Actually, there is nothing special, Wanwan has not had a holiday, and now I go back alone, I always feel a little lonely, and after the new season, I am not in the Netherlands, but in London, and Wanwan has not graduated from university yet.
That is to say, at least in two years, in addition to the summer vacation period, Leng Fei and Wanwan are in the Netherlands and the other in England, although they are not far behind, but they usually have no chance to meet.
This made Leng Fei a little painful, he used to try to ask Wanwan if he could transfer to another school, but Wanwan's family did not agree to Wanwan's transfer, even Tang Hui did not agree to Wanwan's transfer, although he himself did not object to the matter of the two, but at this point, Tang Hui did not agree, plus the Premier League has no winter break, there are fewer opportunities to meet.
On this issue, Wanwan is also regretful, but there is no way, even my father does not agree to change schools, so I can only stay in the Netherlands to continue my studies, and wait until I graduate to think about other things.
When Leng Fei was still struggling with these things, the 2010~2011 season of the Premier League finally came to an end, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal occupied the top four respectively, won the Champions League place, and another traditional giant, Suarez's new owner Liverpool did not do well, ranked sixth, in front of them there are Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United won the Premier League this season, Manchester City won the FA Cup this season, Birmingham won the English League Cup.
