Chapter 99: Van Gaal blows the horn to win the championship!
After the winter break, Ajax was like a luxury F1 car that broke down and was constantly overtaken by the car behind him, and Basten had no choice but to replace parts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The luxury chariots with replacement parts were restarted, and they increased their horsepower to surpass their opponents in a row and advance to the championship group!
Four consecutive wins helped Ajax surpass PSV Eindhoven by two points and temporarily climb to third place in the rankings!
At 3 p.m. the next day, the Eredivisie played a key match, with Twente, who finished second in the previous round, and PSV Eindhoven, who finished third, face each other.
This is a championship competition between the contenders, and the outcome will directly determine who is eligible to continue to compete for the championship.
Twente, sitting at home, launched a fierce attack on PSV Eindhoven amid the huge shouts of the home fans.
PSV Eindhoven responded calmly with a fierce battle at the De Cherorsch Stadium.
After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides shook hands one by one, and Ajax stood in third place with a one-point advantage, and they entered the championship group!
This result is the best result for both Ajax and AZ Alkmaar at the top of the table.
They can take the opportunity to close or widen the difference.
At 7.30pm on 4 September, AZ Alkmaar played away to mid-table side Nijmegen. After 90 minutes, AZ Alkmaar won 1-0 to secure the three points and further widen the gap on second-placed FC Twente.
With eight rounds remaining, AZ Alkmaar are six points ahead of second-placed FC Twente and eight ahead of third-placed Ajax to become the favourites.
According to media analysis, Twente is not rich enough to pose a threat to AZ Alkmaar in the sprint of the season, but Ajax, who is in third place, has the best chance to pose a threat to them.
However, Ajax's first four games during the winter break were too bad, with three defeats and one draw, and were left behind by AZ Alkmaar, and now it is too difficult to catch up, and there is no chance of even a chance.
'With an eight-point difference in eight rounds, it looks like it's possible, but how can AZ Alkmaar give Ajax that chance? Ajax had a terrible start to the second half of the season, otherwise they would have come close to AZ Alkmaar and even overtaken them to the top of the table. ”
The Telegraph commented: "Barring a miracle – AZ Alkmaar himself – there is no chance of Ajax recovering the Eredivisie title they lost four years with. ”
'Ajax can look forward to next season, as they will be able to make a big difference next season as Chan emerges, they are more attacking and defensively more consistent.
The Telegraph asserts that Ajax are out of contention with the Eredivisie title this season, and Handelsblatt Amsterdam refutes their view:
'Ajax still have a title chance and their next few opponents besides PSV Eindhoven will hardly be a threat to them.
If Ajax can beat PSV Eindhoven away in the round of 31 and then AZ Alkmaar in the penultimate round, they have every chance of fighting for the title!
AZ Alkmaar have three strong opponents next up, Ajax, as well as second-placed FC Twente and PSV Eindhoven. If they lose two of their three games, will they still be able to win the title?
There is still suspense before the end of the matter, and Ajax still has the possibility of winning the championship! ”
AZ Alkmaar coach Louis van Gaal is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the team's impressive results.
The Dutch coach has taken the mid-table team, who have won the Eredivisie title just once in their history, to where they are today, and are the biggest favourites to win the title this season.
This is something that people could not have imagined before the season.
AZ Alkmaar won the domestic top flight for the first time in their history in the '81-82 season, a full 37 years after that victory.
Speaking to The Telegraph on 12 March, Louis van Gaal said: "The situation is in our favour and we see the hope of winning the Eredivisie once again after 37 years.
AZ Alkmaar fans have waited 37 years and there is no reason for me and my players to disappoint them, we will take every opponent seriously and never let the victory slip out of our hands!
AZ Alkmaar will not give their opponents any hope, all we can give them is despair! ”
Some say Louis van Gaal is sounding the horn to win the title and AZ Alkmaar are starting to make the final sprint, and they won't give anyone behind them a chance.
In the face of the grim reality, no one in Ajax has come forward to refute Van Gaal's words, they are silently accumulating energy and waiting for their opponents to make mistakes.
……
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Fan recuperated his "injury" at home, and he used this time to train in the virtual training system to improve his breakthrough and shooting skills.
His breakthrough technique and shooting skills are improving rapidly.
Every time after training in the virtual training system, Chen Fan was sweating profusely and mentally exhausted. His mother was heartbroken and thought that his injury was serious, so the bone broth boiled more and more......
Chen Fan returned to the team after three days of "injury" at home, which shocked the coaching team and teammates, and they even suspected that there was something wrong with the examination in the hospital.
The team doctor was the most shocked of them all, and he was very aware of Chen Fan's injuries, which usually take at least three weeks to heal. The reason why the club announced it for two weeks is a strategy to reassure the fans.
The team doctor didn't think that Chen Fan had recovered, and he wanted to take Chen Fan to the hospital for an examination immediately.
Of course, Chen Fan would not agree with him to do this, so he had no choice but to tell him that he would go to the hospital with him for an examination after training.
At first, Basten was also skeptical, thinking that Chen Fan was a teenager and eager to return to the game, so he endured the pain to participate in training.
So he arranged training content for Chen Fan alone, mainly rehabilitation training.
However, Chen Fan did not appreciate it and strongly asked to train with his teammates, and Basten finally chose to agree to his request. However, Basten also made a request that he refrain from physical contact with his teammates.
Chen Fan rolled his eyes a few times and agreed, as long as there is nothing wrong with me and my teammates in training, the coach will forget that he is a "injured" person, and then he can have a real confrontation with his teammates.
Sure enough, during the internal confrontation, Basten and his teammates completely forgot that he was a man with a broken bone four days earlier.
When the team doctor looked at the time and came to the training ground, the team was fighting, and he looked at Chen Fan in surprise who had a strong collision with his teammates on the training ground, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.
God, how is this possible?
He had just cracked his bones four days ago, so why was he alive now?
Could it be that there is a problem with the equipment at The Hague Hospital, which is unlikely......
"Are you really healed?"
At the end of the training, the team doctor asked Chen Fan in surprise.
Chen Fan said with a smile: "I have indeed recovered, and you have seen it, so there is no need for us to go to the hospital for examination." ”
"No way!"
The team doctor said no.
