"Some people may wonder why this year's training camp is two weeks earlier than last year......

Ajax manager Marco van Basten immediately moved on to the formal reprimand after counting the players.

His gaze slowly swept over each player's face, pausing slightly from time to time, and finally fell on Long Shute: "As a newcomer who has just entered the first team, can you answer this question?" ”

"Uh......" Long Shute didn't expect that he who had reached the age of 19 would have to answer questions like a student, he thought for a while and gave his own answer, "Last summer there was the European Cup, oh, and the Olympics, and this year everyone basically didn't have a national team task." ”

"You're probably not a good student, Dragon, and you'll only get fifty points for your answer." Van Basten shook his head, but didn't look unhappy.

The two main strikers, Luis Suarez and Soleimani, burst into laughter with the players.

Long Shute smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, coach ......"

"Oh, nothing, you don't need to apologize," Van Basten's temper seemed to be much softer, "I heard you practiced for a summer, so I thought you knew ......"

Long Shute looked at him blankly.

After confirming that the newcomer was indeed ignorant, Van Basten had to uncover the answer himself: "At the end of this month and the beginning of August, we have the third qualifying round of the Champions League, against Sporting Lisbon from the Portuguese Premier League!" ”

Sporting Lisbon?

Today's Longshute is no longer the same as when he first came to this world, and he also knows a little about the mainstream European leagues.

Sporting Lisbon used to be a well-known club, and Porto and Benfica became the three giants of the Portuguese Super League, and the new and old kings of the Portuguese national team - Figo, Ronaldo and Nani all started here.

But after all, Portugal is a small country with a small population, a sluggish market, and weak investment, and Sporting Lisbon has gradually become a third-rate team over the years, missing the league championship for 7 consecutive years, and the European competition is also struggling, which is very similar to the development of Ajax.

However, objectively speaking, Sporting Lisbon's current situation is even worse than that of Ajax.

Although the players in the Ajax squad are currently only in their early twenties, Lonshette has learned from the system that Suarez, Vertonghen, Vermaelen, Van der Wiel and others will soon transfer to major European giants at a high price, and even Emmanuersson, who is nicknamed the "king of goals on the wing", can also go to AC Milan to play a main team, and the strength of these players can also be seen.

Of course, if the outcome of a football match can be easily determined by the value of the player alone, then there is no need for these tournaments to be held.

"The first leg is on July 29 and I hope to be able to establish a strong lead in the first race, and for that I need everyone to be able to concentrate and put their heart and soul into training." ”

-

Van Basten's intentions were good, of course, but he couldn't dominate everything.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ajax's defensive core and team captain Vermaelen joined Premier League giants Arsenal for 13 million euros......

No way, with Ajax's current financial situation, they can't afford to leave nothing in the transfer window.

In particular, they must retain their leading scorer, Luis Suarez.

Last season, the Uruguayan striker scored 23 goals in 31 appearances and provided 14 assists for his team-mates, winning the league's silver boot and assists title, and has become a hot star in the transfer market.

If it was placed a few years ago, Ajax's top card would have been directly snatched by the European giants, but now the Eredivisie is weakened after all, and even the gold content of the stars seems to have declined, and the giants' desire for him does not seem to be so strong.

But even so, if they want to keep such a top name, the club will have to raise his salary, and if he signs a new contract with Suarez, others will inevitably demand accordingly, and the club will immediately have a big burden on the salary payment......

It takes money.

So they're going to sell people.

What the?

You say that you can use Longshute to fool Chinese companies to sponsor?

No kidding.

This is 2009!

A young guy who has just been promoted from the youth team to the first team...... What does he have to attract Chinese companies?

Not to mention...... Not to mention CCTV, in China, there is not even a mainstream satellite TV that broadcasts the Dutch league live!

There are not many Chinese in the Netherlands......

What's the publicity benefit?!

-

Perhaps plagued by financial problems, Ajax did not have enough reinforcements this summer, and only bought 31-year-old defender Villart from Twente for 3 million euros, and the rest are either ultra-low-cost youngsters or youth team members like Lonshette.

Van Basten is not unwilling to buy people, for example, in the forward line, Suarez is talented, but his temperamental and extremely sensitive personality makes him a hidden powder keg, besides, a team that wants to succeed cannot always have only one top striker.

But the club told him very clearly that there was no money on the books.

If he wants follow-up funds, he must lead the team to overcome obstacles and reach the main stage of the Champions League......

So in the past two weeks, the pressure on Van Basten's shoulders can be imagined, and the intensity of Ajax's training can also be imagined.

It's just that after the first day of training, the vast majority of the players are on the verge of being crushed by his high-pressure training, but ...... Long Shute smiled from ear to ear.

Because the more he trains, the more he feels that he has more room for improvement.

He wants to sleep on the training ground 24 hours a day.

Until strength and conditioning coach Reinaldo Landberg specifically talked to him.

"Dragon," the experienced middle-aged coach looked at the player analysis report in his hand and shook his head at him, "Have you not had a break this summer?" ”

"Well, Coach," Ronshute told him truthfully, "I've had a break, three days off." ”

Landberg almost choked on a mouthful of water and rolled his eyes: "I understand your eagerness to play in the first team, but you must know that a player who does not know how to take care of his body will surely enter a decline prematurely. If you look at the data, the level of wear and tear on your joints and ligaments, and the accumulation of acid lipids in your muscles have reached a critical point, in this case, even if you train hard, it will be difficult to help your technical improvement, but your body may collapse at any time. If you keep going like this, I would advise the manager to disqualify you. ”

Long Shute couldn't help but be anxious: "You dare?!" I...... I'll kneel for you! ”

"Then go to the lounge now, get John a relaxing full-body massage, and then go take a hot bath, and don't participate in any training with the ball this week, huh?" Landberg frowned.

"The day after tomorrow is the warm-up game......" Long Shute opened his mouth.

The other party raised his eyebrows: "Do you still want to mix in Ajax?!" ”

"Think, think, think!" He hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "You are the boss, I will listen to you!" I'm going to go back to massage and relax, and then I don't train for a week! ”
