Chapter 75

1:0! Leng Fei showed his strengths to the fullest, explosiveness, goal grabbing, speed, these are several abilities necessary as a data-brushing player, Cruyff said after watching Leng Fei's game, even if he (Leng Fei) does not have such excellent dribbling skills and passing skills, he can also eat very well in football, and he has the skills required by a point-grabbing striker.

The second goal of the individual occurred in the forty-first minute, Leng Fei cut directly after breaking through on the right side, and shot directly without waiting for the ball to stop, Romero did not react at all Leng Fei would choose the most direct and convincing method so quickly, shooting!

"Ball in and pull! It was his second goal! He's in great shape! Cronell slapped the table and yelled.

In the second half, Leng Fei continued his excellent form, assisting Hamdoi to score the third goal of the game, Hamdoi did not celebrate after the goal, the Moroccan striker was Alkmaar's number one star before coming to Ajax, the top scorer, before Alkmaar, he had been mixed in the second division of England and the Netherlands for a long time, although he had the opportunity to join Tottenham Hotspur, but he could only play as a substitute in Derby County on loan, and after a loan everywhere, the result was a free transfer, Finally, the Willem II team of the Eredivisie took a fancy to him, and due to injuries and other reasons, he only played eight official games in two years at Willem II.

In the end, AZ Alkmaar spent more than 2 million euros to save him from this predicament and gradually grow into a star in the Eredivisie, so the Moroccan still has a lot of affection for this team, although his benefactor Van Gaal is no longer there, but the team is still the same team, and most of the players have not changed.

At the end of the game, the score was locked at Ajax 3:0 Alkmaar, and Leng Fei's brace became the focus of the game.

After this game, the two-week winter break begins, with all players set to return to the squad by 7 January, during which time most of the country's leagues have come to an end and the winter break has begun, with some clubs already starting to discuss their player transfers in addition to the Premier League.

Leng Fei doesn't care about these, he will return to China after a long vacation, which has basically become his formula, although Europe is good, and the facilities in all aspects are very developed, but after all, it is not a hometown, it is a person, and there will always be a little homesickness, Leng Fei is no exception.

And now, although I can't go home in time for the Spring Festival, I can spend New Year's Day with my family, which is at least much better than the Premier League can only return to China once a year in the summer.

……………………………………………………

After a pleasant holiday with his family, the time for Ajax's training camp soon came, on January 7, Leng Fei returned to the Netherlands, and the first news he heard was that Ajax's left wing-back, Emma**sen left the Amsterdam Stadium for 3 million euros, and his new club was AC Milan, which had a vigorous match with Ajax not long ago, and Ajax's official website had wished Emma**sen new success at the San Siro Stadium. And thank you for his contribution to the team all the time.

In addition, Eindhoven's Afelai, also transferred to the Camp Nou for 3 million euros, although the two players are not the main force of the Dutch national team, but it is almost the most sensational transfer event in the Netherlands so far, although this recruitment has been a week, but Leng Fei still just knew.

For Emma**sen's transfer, Leng Fei feels a little worthless, although Emma**sen is not a first-class star, but the value of 3 million is a bit low for him, these years, with the gradual decline in the competitiveness of the Eredivisie, the Portuguese Super League, the Russian Premier League and other leagues have gradually surpassed the Eredivisie, but the Russian Premier League mainly relies on investment, the Portuguese Super League...... Isn't there a "black shop" there, and its ability to make money is much stronger than that of Ajax.

For Ajax, building a star and selling it seems to be a habitual way of survival, but how can they be more competitive if they want to make money and can't make money?

Of course, Ajax's hierarchy has been focused on bargaining with Liverpool in recent times, and Suarez is currently the player who can make a lot of money.

Just when Ajax and Liverpool were fighting over Suarez's transfer conditions, a new thing disrupted the deal - someone officially made an offer to the chairman of the Ajax club, 67 million euros to get 80% of the club's shares, this person is none other than Leng Fei's friend Lavinho's father, Frances Laviño, Ajax's market share price is about 85 million euros, it should be said that the old Lavinho's offer is still more reasonable.

Leng Fei was a little surprised when he heard the news, although he knew that Lavinho's family was very rich, he still didn't expect to be so rich.

Obviously, the current chairman is in dire need of funds to deal with some personal matters of his own, and as soon as this offer is submitted, he has begun to hesitate and announce a transfer ban, which makes Liverpool dumbfounded.

These days, Leng Fei has been seeing people wearing Liverpool logos coming in and out of the Ajax headquarters, obviously, these people are here for Suarez, with an anxious look on their faces, yes, Suarez is the prey they have been staring at for most of the year, if this transfer is about to be reached because of this damn transfer ban and has to be postponed or even canceled, it will be too much to lose.

The main purpose of these guys is to observe the progress of the Ajax acquisition, and once it is completed, Liverpool will rush to make an offer to the new chairman to try to take the Uruguayan striker.

During this period, Ajax were invited to Germany and Turkey to play two friendlies, drawing one and losing one, against Hamburg and Galatasaray respectively.

The acquisition of the club has been delayed until the end of the winter transfer period, during which the Eredivisie has passed the nineteenth and twentieth rounds, two games, one win and one loss, including the Dutch national derby, Leng Fei led the team to victory with a pass and a shot, but the next game Ajax was defeated 3:0 at the feet of Utrecht, this game, Suarez is still suspended, Leng Fei also lost the good form of the last game, and was blamed by the media, ironically, the most fierce media, It happened to be the media that praised Leng Fei the most sensual two days ago.

On the third day after the match, Lavinho's father, Francis, appeared at a press conference as the new president of Ajax Football Club, announcing that Ajax had officially changed ownership and the team had returned to the transfer market.

Upon hearing the news, Liverpool immediately sent an offer, 25 million euros! Before the announcement of the Ajax transfer ban, Liverpool's offer was only 18 million euros, and the increase of 7 million euros in one go showed the determination to take Suarez.

On January 29, a day after Ajax's 4-1 home win over NAC in the Dutch Cup, Ajax announced that Uruguayan striker Suarez had moved to Liverpool for 27 million euros, a few hours after the news was announced on Liverpool's official website.

Selling Suarez, undoubtedly let Ajax's offensive ability drop a notch, although there is also Hamdoi, but the Moroccans are far inferior to Suarez in terms of fame, value or strength, in order to think in the long run, Joel has made the clearest decision, in training, you can consider letting De Jong and Hamdoi rotate to play forwards, in the forward position, and gradually correct the Danish teenager Eriksen.

Although De Jong is not a full-time striker, he can be a striker, or his best position is the position of nine and a half, he can plan the attack with Eriksen, and at the same time, he also has a certain ability to score goals.

With Suarez gone, there are far more problems left behind, including the replacement of the striker, and there are rumors that the new owner of Ajax has set his sights on a young Icelandic striker, Kolbean Sigesolsson, whose owner is still AZ Alkmaar, Hamdoi's former team-mate, and he also praises the Icelandic striker.

It's just that the winter transfer window is now closed, and the only way to get this deal through is to wait until the end of the season.

At present, Ajax's new owner, that is, Lavinho's father, has not been rumored to replace the coach, and said that Yor's job is good, and he will continue to stay at least until this summer, that is, before Leng Fei leaves Ajax, as long as Yoel's results are not too bad, he is Leng Fei's manager.

In addition, Suarez's departure left the captain's armband, Joel thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to appoint goalkeeper Stekelenburg as the captain of the team, Vertonghen continued to serve as vice captain, and De Zeu served as the third captain on the field, this arrangement is more reasonable, although Vertonghen was the vice captain of the team before this, but Stekelenburg is undoubtedly higher than Vertongham in terms of seniority or prestige, Stekelenburg is the captain, everyone has no opinion, Leng Fei also feels that he is the most suitable candidate for the captain.

In the first game after Suarez left, Ajax challenged Breda away, this team was the team that was defeated by Ajax 4:1 in the quarterfinals of the Dutch Cup not long ago, so in this away game, Ajax seemed relatively relaxed, and the result of the game was also convincing, 3:0, it was still a smooth victory.

In this game, Joel tried the tactics of two strikers, De Jong and Hamdoi partnered with the forwards, the effect was very good, Leng Fei was slightly behind, to the right midfielder, and the left midfield, with the departure of Emma**sen, Aisathi got the chance to start, and the performance was also very good, Eriksen and Uruguayan teenager Nicolas Rodeiro partnered in the midfield, this new lineup, it is obvious that it is still first-class in the Eredivisie, with Leng Fei, Hamdoi and substitute Soleimani one goal, Ajax beat Breda again away.

Joel looked happy in his post-match press conference that the recent departure of a pillar of the squad has not affected the team's performance, and Ajax have returned to normal after a slump some time ago.

In a press conference, perhaps with the help of a new boss, Joel claimed that PSV Eindhoven at the top of the table need to pay attention as their worst enemy, Ajax, is back in contention for the title.

Joel's words were also very encouraging, and in the next two games, Ajax successfully won Graafschap and Roda JC 2:0, while its core member Leng Fei scored a brace with an assist and a goal to show the world that Ajax is still the leader of the Eredivisie.

On February 18, Ajax, who was eliminated from the Champions League group stage, participated in the first round of the Europa League round of 32 knockout rounds, and the opponent drawn by the draw was the Belgian giants Anderlecht.

That's right, that's exactly what he thinks, with the team's current configuration, in addition to the midfield can cope with the three-line operation, in addition to the midfield, it is difficult for the backfield and the forwards to support the third-line operation, and must give up, and the Europa League, which has a very low bonus and many games, naturally becomes the first thing to give up.

Leng Fei also sat on the bench in this game, this game, the major odds companies and the media are not optimistic that Ajax can win, but the result of the game was a big surprise Ajax defeated Anderlecht 3:1, this game, the Armenian player Ozbiliz and striker Ebesilio who replaced Leng Fei performed outstandingly, and the latter scored twice.

After this game, Ajax returned to the Eredivisie to continue their good form, beating the visiting VVV Venlo team 1-0, although it looked like a small victory by only one goal, but the scene was much better than this 1:0, and the winning goal for Ajax was De Zeou's long-range shot.

In the second leg of the Europa League knockout round, Joel simply used a full bench lineup, this game, this game, whether they won or lost, anyway, they have decided to give up the main league of the Europa League.

In the end, Ajax lost 1:0 at the feet of Anderlecht, however, with 3:1 at home, Ajax still advanced to the round of 16 with an aggregate score of 3:2, and the opponent of the round of 16 has been determined to be Spartak Moscow from the Russian Premier League through the draw.

After the match against Anderlecht, Ajax ushered in an important game, away to PSV Eindhoven, and the game against PSV Eindhoven in the first half of the season was a symbol of Ajax's low point, and the two teams ended 0-0.

This game, Ajax is important at any level, even a game related to the championship, this game of six points is enough to bring Ajax back to the top, if PSV Eindhoven can win, then add weight to their championship road.

However, this game, in the end, was still a happy draw, Ajax with Leng Fei and De Jong's goals, once led the opponent by two goals, but before the end of the game, PSV Eindhoven still fought back, equalized the score, and finally the two sides drew 2:2, after the game, both managers were not very convinced, Joel thought that his team was too relaxed after a two-goal lead, and Eindhoven coach Fred Luten thought that if the game time was present, his team could stage a good comeback.

After this game, there was not much change in the standings, PSV Eindhoven still led the table by three points, Ajax continued to chase closely, and AZ Alkmaar, who were originally third, dropped to fifth in the table due to their recent losing streak, with FC Twente and FC Groningen surpassing the halfway point of the championship.

The season continues with the pace of spring, the first game of March, Ajax ushered in the Dutch Cup semi-finals, home against Waalwijk, who had just been relegated last season, in the face of such a fish belly, Ajax did not relent, 5:1 slaughtered Waalwijk, Hamdoi scored a hat trick, this is his first hat trick at Ajax, Leng Fei and Eriksen also scored a goal, it is worth mentioning that Li Haojie, who got the opportunity to play in that game, received an assist, The assist that helped Hamdoi score the third goal to complete the hat trick came from Li Haojie, who came off the bench.

Two days later, Ajax sat at home to face AZ Alkmaar, the recent form of the half-way champion is not good at all, Ajax beat the Reservoir Dogs, 4-0 victory over AZ Alkmaar, this game, Leng Fei is in excellent form, a pass and a shot to direct this big victory.

The league is coming to an end, and the title race is getting more and more intense as the league progresses, and in the standings, FC Twente, who lost the title last season, is still strong this season, and has reached the second place with Ajax with 54 points, and PSV Eindhoven is top of the table with 57 points.

On March 11, the Europa League knockout round quarterfinals started, in the first leg, Ajax hosted Spartak Moscow, Joel still used a semi-substitute and half main lineup, this game, there was no such good luck as Anderlecht's game, Ajax finally lost 1:0 at the feet of the Russian team.

However, the team did not take the defeat of this game to heart, Joel has long said that the Europa League is not their first choice, they now need to focus on the league, the league championship situation is very fierce, at present, there are three teams in the Eredivisie with the task of continental competitions, namely Ajax, Twente and Eindhoven, the three championship groups, it can be said that whoever takes back the energy from the continental competition first, who is likely to win the championship in the league, after all, the time difference between the continental competition and the league is very close, The impact on the fitness of the players is significant.

After the defeat to Spartak Moscow, Ajax regained morale and challenged Willem II away, Willem II's three points are three points in Ajax's plan to win the title, but it is not so easy to get these three points, although the score seems to be Ajax's 3:1 victory over Willem II, but in fact, Ajax's game, it took a lot of effort to win, Willem II is at the bottom of the Eredivisie standings this season, and there is a great trend of possible relegation, for relegation, they are desperate, Hamdoy, Leng Fei, De Jong and others suffered a lot in this game, especially Leng Fei, after the end of this game, the data shows that Leng Fei was violated 9 times in this game, you must know that a player can get the ball in a game There is very little time, and he has been violated nine times, which almost means that this player is almost no threat in this game.

Yes, Leng Fei was almost invisible in this game by Willem II's foul defense, but in the 87th minute of the game, when the score was still 1:1, Leng Fei, who broke through the encirclement, helped the team score a stunner and got a hard-won three points, and then the Willem II player, who lost his fighting spirit, was scored by Vertonghen's long-range shot.

That's the difference between a genius and an average player! So writes International Football.

After the Willem II game, Ajax went to Moscow, Russia to participate in the second round of the knockout stage of the Europa League, but considering that Ajax's competition in the Eredivisie is becoming more and more fierce, Joel this time, simply brought a few substitutes and young players to Moscow, and the main players have a good rest at home this day to prepare for the next league.

The league has reached this stage, no one wants to drop the chain, Ajax, as the defending champion, does not want to drop the chain, after all, the slump in the middle of the league has a great impact on the whole season, if you don't win the championship in the end, then a large part of the reason is attributed to the slump during that period.

It's a rare day off, Leng Fei stayed at home to rest, although he also wanted to go out with Wanwan or something, but now, Wanwan is still taking classes in the university.

After dinner, Leng Fei and Van Homest's family sat in front of the TV, waiting for the Ajax vs Spartak Moscow match, although they knew that Ajax had basically given up this game, but as loyal fans, Ajax would not fall in every game, which has become a habit of Van Homest's family.

In this game, Ajax sent only one main force, that is, midfielder De Zeou, who also played as the captain, and even goalkeeper Stekelenburg got the opportunity to rest, and Vermeer replaced him.

After 90 minutes of intense play, Ajax's substitutes and young players played very hard, but they lost the game 3:2, De Zeou showed the strength of the big brother in this game, scored a goal, and assisted Rodeiro to score a goal, shining all over the field, Sparta Moscow coach, suddenly interested in the Dutch midfielder, and even began to ponder the possibility of signing De Zeou to enhance the control of the midfield.

As early as the beginning of the season, Spartak Moscow asked De Zeu about the price through a personal relationship, but at that time the Ajax midfield was not very perfect, and De Zeu was still a very important part, but with the gradual maturity of Anita, Eno, Eriksen and others, De Zeu is not for sale.

According to Russian media, Spartak Moscow has already started the transfer of Ajax player Demi Dezeu, and plans to acquire the Dutchman at the end of the season.

Of course, that's all for later.

In front of the TV, although Ajax lost, but this is not the end of the world, it means that Ajax needs to sprint as hard as possible in the league, turn off the TV, Van Homest's family is not talking about the loss of this game, but the prospect in the league.
