187. The Battle for the Defense of the Earth

Every club's manager doesn't like the international game, and Van Basten does the same. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the international break ended in late March, his squad was hit by a number of injuries, with Alderweireld, Isati and Stegrenberg in hospital beds at the same time, and even Oleg, who was not on national team duty, inexplicably contracted a chill on holiday and had to stay home to recuperate.

When the rest of the healthy players gathered at the training base, everyone noticed that behind manager Van Basten stood the legendary old man who had just returned to the club.

It was a superstar even more legendary than the White Swan and the Three Musketeers, the Flying Dutchman, who alone could represent an era of Dutch football.

'I've come back from Spain and it's a great feeling to see that Ajax has so many talented youngsters.

Cruyff spoke, his voice not high at all, but everyone waited quietly with bated breath.

"I know that in these two years there are a lot of people who call Barcelona the Cosmos team and they seem to be irresistible, but I want to tell you that they are by no means omnipotent.

Yes, I dare say, no one knows the Barcelona team better than me, they have the best players in the world, they are used to winning, they are more conceited than anyone else, so they are afraid of losing! Once they fall behind, they will immediately be exposed and vulnerable! ”

Cruyff took a slight breath, years of heart disease and growing lung cancer kept him from getting too excited, and he smiled at the players: "I hope you don't show mercy when you face Barcelona, I have nothing to do with them for a long time, if you beat them, I will definitely treat all of you for a drink." ”

After finishing his short speech, Cruyff slowly withdrew from the training ground.

In this clearing, only Van Basten's voice still echoes:

"Barca's tactics have been known to the whole world for a few years, and from a conceptual point of view, they are not fundamentally different from us, and we have no reason to fear them."

'There are people who complain after every draw and think God is deliberately trying to embarrass our young team, but I never felt that way.

Van Basten, who cried and grabbed the ground after the draw every time he was drawn, and washed his face with tears, encouraged the players with a cheeky face and a clear conscience at this time:

"If we just fight to the death with some miscellaneous fish, then even if we win the final championship, who will think that this is our strength? They'll just say we're so lucky......"

"A real strong man can only prove his strength after defeating a strong man, and he can also gain the respect of everyone, so as to win the favor of a real wealthy family and get a more lucrative contract with a high salary...... Isn't that so? ”

-

Of course, the declarations of the two bigwigs are a little untrue, and it is true that Barcelona's tactical play in the past few years has indeed been thoroughly studied by everyone, but there is no coach who really dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he can beat them.

Jose Mourinho, the madman who led Inter Milan to victory over Pep Guardiola, was seen as the most promising man to stop the Cosmos, but his Galaxy lost a clean 5-0 in the first round of the national derby.

Tiki-Taka's tactics may seem so simple that any fan can say a few words, but no one can tell the essence of this tactic, and even the question of whether the biggest reason for Barcelona's success lies in the players or the manager, which can cause two fan groups to quarrel.

Countless teams have followed Barcelona to learn their style of play after their success, but none of them have been able to replicate their success - including the Chinese Football Association, which has always been active in learning advanced experience, and it is said that they are ready to hire a Spanish coach to coach in China, but their work seems to have gone wrong, they did not contact any of the Barcelona-born managers, but instead found a legend who was swept away by Real Madrid and then mixed up in the lower leagues around the world.

In the years around 2010, the most dominant club in football was Barcelona Unmistakable, and Messi's absolute dominance of Cristiano Ronaldo made their reputation even more impressive. So much so that every time Barcelona's opponents challenged them, they were jokingly called the Earth Defense War by the majority of media.

In the 2010/11 season, Barcelona had few weaknesses in Spain, and as of early April, after 30 rounds of league games, they lost to promoted Hercules in the second round only because of carelessness, and there was no defeat in the games since, and their consistency made Real Madrid have little hope of overtaking.

In the face of such an invincible division, if Cruyff and Van Basten are really not worried, then they must be bragging, even if they are in their own prime, they may not be able to defeat such a cosmic team.

So they started preparing half a month early, with Cruyff, Van Basten, Bergkamp, and other members of the coaching staff, Blind Sr., all joining the heated discussion.

The imaginary opponent they train with every day is Barcelona, so much so that no one thinks about how to deal with their league opponents until then.

In this situation, Ajax welcomed the opponent of the 29th round of the league at home, Hercules.

The day was April 3rd, and there were only three days left before they could defend the Earth.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

When there were three muffled noises over the Amsterdam Arena in eight minutes, the game had lost all meaning.

De Kuer, the commentator of Dutch TV, was completely silent, and only his partner Janssen was still exclaiming:

"The vice-captain of Ajax went completely crazy today! He scored a hat-trick in the opening eight minutes of the second half! He extended the score to 3-0! In front of the Chinese dragon, Hercules had no hope! ”

"It seems that the Chinese captain, who did not participate in the national team last week, really held back a lot of energy, and every shot he made was extremely powerful!"

He Wei, who is thousands of miles away, has found a good reason to praise his compatriots:

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the first hat-trick of Lonjut's career!

We all hope that this hat-trick will be a sign of the beginning of a legend, and that Longshut will give more wonderful performances to the audience in future competitions! ”

Van Basten, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at the young man wearing the red envelope No. 8 jersey on the field, and the look of surprise could be clearly seen on his face.

It's no wonder he's so stunned, because all three of Ronshette's goals were from 20 meters away!

Perhaps Ajax focused all their energy on the Champions League three days later, in this league, many players were caught in an inexplicable excitement, and they couldn't get into the state for a long time, although they were not suppressed by the opponent, but the game was also in a difficult situation for a while.

In order to break the deadlock, the deputy of the Ajax team turned on the Qianyuan Blood Burning Gong three times in a row in the second half, consuming 15% of the physical energy each time, and adding all six attributes to the long-range attribute, which increased directly from the original 13 to the bright red 19 points.

His luck was really good, all three shots were on target, and when the Hercules players reacted, the score was irreversible 3-0.

A midfielder who had never shown his talent for long-range shooting in more than two seasons suddenly scored three goals in a row, a truly miraculous performance, and it is no wonder that Van Basten, who watches him train every day, is surprised.

However, what surprised him even more was that Long Shute, who usually played more than 90 minutes in a league game, raised his hand to replace himself shortly after completing three goals......

"The game only lasted less than 70 minutes, and Long Shute took the initiative to ask to be left on the field? Is he hurt?"

He Wei couldn't help but be taken aback:

"It's the Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona in midweek, and as the heart of Ajax's midfield, if Ronshette misses out due to injury, it almost means ...... Ajax raised their hands in advance and surrendered! ”

His words may be too categorical, but whether it is manager Van Basten, Suarez on the bench, or Cruyff watching the game in the box, they can't help but be nervous.

But observing the posture of Long Shute's end, there was no sign of injury at all.

"It's not a big deal, I've been training too hard lately, my fitness is a bit out of shape, I may need to take a break," Lonshit explained to the head coach and teammates with a smile, "As long as I get some sleep, I can continue training tomorrow." ”

Van Basten breathed a sigh of relief.

He would never want to lose this general before the battle.

Because in a certain sense, the key to the victory or defeat of that fierce battle is in the hands of this vice-captain.

As Ajax's strongest one-on-one defensive midfielder, the opponent that Lonjut has to target is ...... Messi, of course.
