No. 483: I Did It!
A masterpiece of the Ajax Academy, Van der Vaart made his Eredivisie debut in 2000 and scored seven goals on his own. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the 02-03 season, he scored 20 goals as a striker!
In the 03-04 season, after Zivo left Ajax, he retreated to the midfield as captain to take on the defensive responsibility, and the next two seasons should have been a turning point, Van der Vaart took over the captain's armband, but Aja's golden generation at that time was close to only character.
The team is full of contradictions, and it is undeniable that Van der Vaart's own calf-like stubbornness is also a problem, and it ended in a lose-lose result, with Coman sacking. And Van der Vaart is also lost in the tackle, grabbing the ball, and defending in Koeman's branded "all-attack, all-defending" tactics......
In 2005, Van der Vaart decided to leave Ajax, but his first stop after leaving was Hamburg, Germany, which was somewhat surprising, but in fact it was largely the decision of Van der Vaart's wife.
Hamburg's current director, Beiersdorf, took Rafael's fiancée with him first, the Dutch number one beauty anchor Sylvia to visit the beautiful city of Hamburg through "special means", and finally Van der Vaart made up his mind to come to the Bundesliga tumbler who was only 8th in the season that year, but had Champions League honors.
Van der Vaart spent three seasons with Hamburg, with his only achievement being an International Toto Cup winner.
Van der Vaart's ambitions were clearly unwilling to condescend to this, and the honor of the Hamburg captain was not enough to keep him.
In the summer of 2008, Van der Vaart turned down offers from Atletico Madrid and Juventus to move to La Liga Galaxy Real Madrid for 13 million euros and signed a five-year contract.
In 2009, Real Madrid reorganized, Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema and other superstars joined one after another, Van der Vaart did not choose to leave like his Dutch compatriots Robben and Huntelaar, he chose to stay in Madrid to accept the challenge.
Van der Vaart was born into a famous family and became famous at a young age, how could he stand sitting on the bench.
Today's big win has nothing to do with him, and his name won't be in the media tomorrow.
While the main players were showering, Van der Vaart left the locker room alone and walked towards the bus outside.

With a big win over Denmark to get off to a good start to the World Cup in South Africa, the Netherlands are immersed in joy and they are looking forward to the future.
The Netherlands was also quite happy, and many people enjoyed drinks at the bar that night, and it was clear that Chen Fan and Robben became the names mentioned most by the fans.
"With Robben and Chen, what goal is there in the Netherlands that can't be broken?"
"Fly with both wings, hahaha, I, the Netherlands, will definitely be able to soar to the top of the world in South Africa!"
"Originally, having Robben was enough to make us proud, but now there is another Chen, and Chen has no stage fright at all! What else can't we do? ”
"On his debut, Chen scored two goals and provided two assists, and I'm really looking forward to his next game!"
"I bet Chen will score a hat-trick in the next game!"
"A hat-trick? No, I think he can put on a senior hiatus! ”
"No, I think he could have scored five goals in one game!"
……
Chen Fan wrote on his social platform that night: "I did it!
It was my World Cup debut, but I did it!
Thank you to the fans who have always supported me, we keep moving forward and the Netherlands will continue to move forward and move towards the dream! ”

Chen, no one can stop you!

At 4 p.m., the other match of Group E was played at the Stade Libre State in Blounfontaine, with Asian powerhouses taking on old African powerhouses Cameroon.
The two teams had previously met in the 2001 Confederations Cup, with Japan beating Cameroon 2-0 and remaining unbeaten in the next two warm-up matches, with one win and one draw. However, Cameroon has also won one and drawn four of its first matches in the previous five World Cups, remaining unbeaten.
Neither team had very good results in the pre-match warm-up matches.
Cameroon drew with Italy, Georgia and Slovakia in the warm-up matches, followed by defeats to Portugal and Serbia. Japan's warm-up record was similarly poor, with back-to-back defeats to Serbia, South Korea, England and Ivory Coast before drawing with Zimbabwe, and scoring just one goal in five games.
Both teams were criticised by the domestic media before they arrived in South Africa, and for them, today's game was a must.
The Dutch are undoubtedly strong and it is a blessing to get a point from the Netherlands, if they can't get three points from the opposition today, it will be extremely difficult to qualify, and it can even be said that they will lose hope of qualifying.
Both sides looked cautious from the start, and it wasn't until the 10th minute that Cameroon took advantage of a direct free-kick to get their first shot on goal of the game.
The two teams played very differently, with Japan using their technical advantage to try to control the tempo of the game with possession, but they did not pose a threat to the Cameroon goal.
Cameroon's use of long passes to threaten the players of the Japanese team is also very effective.
To the shame of Japanese fans, the game played for more than 30 minutes, and the Japanese team did not have a shot on goal!
Time is flying, and the faces of Japanese fans are getting more and more ugly, can't the Japanese team form a shot on goal throughout the first half?
If so, how will the South Korean media laugh at them?
South Korea won the opening match with a crisp 2-0 victory over Euro 04 winners Greece.
In the 39th minute of the first half, the Japanese team launched an attack from the right side, Daisuke Matsui made a cross, and the football fell backwards!
Russian Premier League CSKA midfielder Keisuke Honda pushes a shot from close range on the left side of the small penalty area!
Football hits the net!
Japan scored with the first shot on goal, a goal that exploded the emotions of Japanese fans.
The Japanese went into the second half with a one-goal advantage, and Cameroon, who were behind the scoreline, launched a fierce attack.
In the fourth minute of the second half, Cameroon's number one star Samuel Eto'o burst into the right side of the penalty area with three people on the right side and passed back, and Moting's shot from ten meters away from the goal was unexpectedly wide of the goal!
Cameroon missed a great chance to equalise.
In the ninth minute of the second half, Mbia crossed from the right, and Webb headed wide from 10 meters from the goal!
In the twelfth minute of the second half, Matip passed, and Moting shot 25 meters from the goal on the left side, and the football was out of the near corner!
The Japanese team is struggling to hold on.
Time flew and it was the last few minutes of the game.
In the 38th minute of the second half, Mbia got a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, he hit a heavy shot, and the football blasted towards the top left corner of the goal!
The football instantly passes through the fingertips of Japanese goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima!
The atmosphere in the stadium was tense to the extreme.
"Pong! ……”
With a loud bang, the ball hits the crossbar and pops out of the bottom line!
Japan was covered in cold sweat, Cameroon was wailing, they missed the best chance to equalize!
In the end, the Japanese kept the score 1-0 until the end of the game, and they got off to a good start and laid a solid foundation for qualifying from the group!
