Chapter 74: Facing Ajax

During the short winter break of major European leagues, there are no less than ten teams that come to Iceland's Blue Lagoon to challenge the cliffs, and almost every team has to come to play a warm-up match against Purple Light Wings.

Therefore, the schedule is full, and the next opponent of the purple light wings is the old powerhouse Ajax football team in the Eredivisie.

In the evening, members of the coaching staff such as Qin Hong, Andrea Pirlo, and Saldesson sat together in the conference hall to make tactical arrangements for the Ajax football team before the game.

First of all, the veteran of the coaching staff, Solsson, gave a basic report on the visiting team, and only listened to him say: "The Dutch Ajax football team was founded in 1900 and is a famous team located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It is one of the top 10 most successful clubs in the world according to the club's history and is now the most successful and popular club in the Netherlands, along with Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven. Ajax is known as the world's number one player processing plant, and its youth system has produced a large number of stars. ”

The old village chief James Song said a little anxiously: "Can we make a long story short and try to say something important?"

Solsson smiled at him and continued slowly: "Ajax have a history of doing very well in European competitions, having been one of the top clubs on the continent, beating fellow club Feyenoord in the inaugural UEFA Tutu Cup in 1962 to win their first international title, and have since won a number of European titles, including four UEFA Champions Leagues, one UEFA Cup, one UEFA Champions Cup, three UEFA Super Cups and two Intercontinental CupsSo far, he has won the three major European cups. ”

"Hey, according to you, this team is amazing!" The old village head, James Song, said with some surprise, "Are they better than Real Madrid and Barcelona?" ”

Solsson frowned and said: "Actually, just like Real Madrid in La Liga, Ajax is indeed the most prestigious team in the Netherlands. It was born out of a group of like-minded friends in their spare time, and the team has a long history, probably more than 100 years of hard work, and the club is known for its beautiful and attacking passing and possession play. Ajax have won the Dutch league 27 times. ”

At this time, the player representative who came to attend the pre-match preparation meeting - Delsson said disapprovingly: "In fact, I have heard of this team, from their results, it seems that there is nothing remarkable, according to today, Ajax has been excluded from the five major leagues, and even the Champions League cannot be played, from the end of the 50s to the present, Ajax and Eindhoven compete in the Eredivisie every year, it is like accompanying the prince to study!" In previous years, especially at the end of the last century in its heyday, the Ajax academy was very similar to today's La Masia academy in Barcelona, Cruyff, Van Basten, Gullit, all came from the Ajax academy, and the heyday of the Ajax academy can only be seen in Barcelona now. Due to the continuous outflow of talent in the Eredivisie and the lack of competitiveness, the talent is out of gear, and they all go to the major European leagues to make money, where they are now only Feyenoord and Ajax, plus PSV Eindhoven. PSV Eindhoven can reach the Champions League no matter what, but he Ajax has been mediocre, which is indeed a very sad thing, just how many times he has won the championship in his home league, what is it? ”

Solsson listened patiently to what he said, shook his head and said: "No, no, in 1995, an Ajax team composed of Rijkaard, Davies, Seedorf, Kluivert, the De Boer brothers, Ovemas and Van der Sar defeated AC Milan in the Champions Cup final to win the European Cup for the fourth time. The title it has won is enough to show how glorious this giant club has been, even if this season, Ajax is still only one point behind Feyenoord and still has the impact on the Eredivisie title, followed by PSV Eindhoven, one of the traditional three in the Eredivisie. It's just that in recent years, the overall slump in the Eredivisie has allowed its title in Europe's sixth league to be replaced by the Portuguese Super League...... But even so, Ajax is still a force to be reckoned with in the youth field of European football. ”

After hearing what he said, the old village chief James Song sighed and said, "This team really still has strength!"

The patriarch Solsson snorted heavily, and his tone changed to serious: "However, the owners and coaching staff of Ajax Football Club have always coveted the treasure mines and cliffs recorded in the Ice Peak Valley, and they are coming here again this year to participate in the competition to challenge the cliffs, but, because there are so many strong teams here, they are still the same as in previous years, it is difficult for them to qualify for the competition with the black snow leopard!"

Pirlo stood up at this time and said: "We must not only value the opponent, but also despise the opponent, our purple light wings can beat Atletico Madrid and Grand Paris, so this Eredivisie team is not terrible." However, this team has always been known for its technical and delicate play, and going head-to-head with it is not the best option. And, we are now playing an average of one game every two days, the players are too hard, we must rotate the players, this game against Ajax, it is impossible to play as much as possible, but Qin Hong's team must be on the field, so how to reasonably distribute physical strength is very important. Let's develop a set of tactics now, and strive to win the game tomorrow through a game of wits and courage, so that they can completely lose convinced! ”

Qin Hong listened to what Big Brother Pirlo said, and nodded with a smile.

On the evening of the second day, Qin Hong once again stood on the green grass of the "Butterfly Valley" football field with his teammates of Purple Light Wings, and today, their opponent was the Ajax football team from the Eredivisie.

At the beginning of the game, the Ajax football team adopted a traditional pass-and-control style of play, and the accurate short passes between the players did not give the Purple Light Wings a chance to take the ball calmly.

Two minutes after the opening game, Qin Hong made a successful tackle in the midfield, kicked a precise long pass of more than 50 meters, Ajax goalkeeper Onana hit the high ball and the Purple Light Wings striker Ikulsson collided and fell to the ground, Sanchez hastily cleared not far away, and the big forward Blancheslsson shot after stopping the ball in the front of the penalty area, and missed the left post by a millimeter.

In the 5th minute, Qin Hong once again played a magic foot, unexpectedly passing the ball after breaking the ball in the front field, chattering Delsson broke through the cross from the left side, Ikulsson stopped the ball and shot from 12 yards, and was blocked by the brave goalkeeper Onana.

Because the Ajax football team had excellent overall coordination in passing and receiving the ball, and played very carefully, they also strengthened their vigilance against Qin Hong, so they once firmly grasped the possession.

In the 15th minute, Ajax's fierce player, Yu Nis, returned the ball on the left side of the front, Traore received the ball, and shot with his left foot along the left rib in front of the purple light wing penalty area.

In the 18th minute, Ridwald threw a strong grenade to the front of the sideline, but threw it directly to Qin Hong, after Qin Hong broke the ball, he made a forward gesture, the purple light wings launched a counterattack on the spot, and the players rushed to the opponent's camp like mercury, Qin Hong silently chanted a spell to activate the magic foot, sent an accurate long pass, and the chatter Delsson shot with his left foot at the front of the opponent's penalty area, the ball touched Sanchez and deflected to the middle of the goal, and Onana, who had already made a save, had nothing to do about it, so he could only fall to the ground and watch the ball go in!

The Purple Light Wings football team is leading 1-0!
