163. Suarez's replacement

How much of an impact will Suarez's ban have on Ajax's league?

Anyway, on the fifth day after the heavy defeat to Real Madrid, they lost a clean 2-0 to lower-mid-table Venlo. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Without Suarez's containment and agitation in the frontcourt, another goalscorer Hamdawi also seems to have lost his aura, and as for Soleimani, De Jong, and Emmanuelsen, they have done nothing.

Coupled with the fact that the weather has gradually cooled since the end of November, the Ajax players have collectively fallen into a period of silence.

On 3 December, Ajax barely beat Heerenveen 1-0 thanks to a lightning strike from Lonshette after the opening game.

On the 9th, they drew 0-0 with AC Milan in Italy, while Real Madrid swept Auxerre with four goals at the Bernabeu and won the top spot in the group with a record of five wins and one loss, while Ajax, with four wins, one draw and one loss, could only settle for second.

Suarez doesn't mean more than just goals for Ajax, he pretty much represents a style of play for the team:

In any case, as long as the football is handed over to him, he can rely on his personal ability to create threats and kills, and this ability to fight alone is rare in the whole of football.

Now that he is unavailable, Van Basten has had to re-organise his team's attack with Hamdawi as the main firepower.

But Hamdawi can't be another Suarez, he is not the kind of striker who can destroy the city alone, he must have teammates to help him involve him in defense to play his power, and compared to the Uruguayan, there is a big gap in his various skills, so it is indeed difficult for him to assume the responsibility of the main attacker all at once, and the other striker, Ahmed Hassan Mido, although he has a height of 188, does not have the Uruguayan's dexterous skills and nose in front of goal, and he is also unable to take on this responsibility.

So Van Basten decisively adjusted his strategy after one win and one loss.

Hamdawi and Middo came on at the same time, but their task was no longer to pursue goals and goals, but to transform into bridgeheads, trying to use their strong bodies to get the ball back for the midfielders who were inserted in the back row, while pulling open spaces in the opposition defence.

Under such tactical adjustments, Ajax's midfield gradually became active, with Emmanuersen, De Jong, Ronshit, and Eriksen, who has gradually become a regular in the rotation, blossoming in many ways, and the team has regained the feeling of scoring goals in previous rounds.

However, the tactical adjustment is not an overnight thing, and if the team adapts well, Van Basten will become a "tactical genius" again, but if he can't adapt as soon as possible, the white swan will undoubtedly be criticized by the media.

Thankfully, the youngsters kept Van Basten under pressure, and although they were held to a 2-2 draw by Vitesse in the first game of the team's change, the next two games were won comfortably:

On December 19, they swept away their arch-rivals Feyenoord 3-0 at home.

On the 24th, AZ Alkmaar were eliminated 2-0 in the Dutch Cup.

They ushered in the winter break with a two-game winning streak, while vice-captain Ronshette has proved that he can be a replacement for Suarez with two consecutive goals, as he has surpassed Hamdawi as the team's second-leading scorer behind Suya with 15 goals across three fronts, as well as the team's assists leader.

With this form in mind, Lonjute is about to usher in his first major tournament for the national team.

Qatar 2011 Asian Cup.

"Drip, drip, drip!"

Three whistles were heard on Ajax's training ground.

Assistant coach Witzger, who served as the referee, blew the whistle for the final game.

The Chinese team ended their last match against the Ajax youth team.

In the 60-minute game, the score was 3-0 for the Chinese team.

Without Long Shute, no Blind, and no Eriksen, this youth team composed of players under the age of 18 is indeed not enough to compete with the Chinese team that plays with the main team, and the Chinese captain Long Shute, who has been in good form recently, has taught the youth team a lesson with two shots and one pass, and has also proved that he is the best training product of the Ajax academy in the past ten years.

Head coach Gao Hongbo nodded and expressed his satisfaction with the team's run-in for more than a month, then he stood up from his seat, shook hands with youth director Van den Brom, and briefly expressed his gratitude in English: "Thank you for your help this month, thank you very much. ”

Van den Brom, who hadn't been seen for a long time, smiled: "Good luck in the Asian Cup. Dragon," he hugged Long Shute, who was outstretching his right hand to him, "Don't you kid know how to show me some mercy?" ”

"John, what I've learned from you is to give it your all to every training and game." Ronshette smiled and replied to the youth director who had accepted him and coached him for two seasons.

"Good boy, you can indeed graduate." Van den Brom laughed and patted the disciple on the shoulder, "Do well in the Asian Cup, it's better to win the championship!" I'll be cheering you on in Amsterdam too, although I'm definitely not going to watch the live......"

"Ajax players never fight for second place, do they?" The Chinese captain broke free from his embrace, bared his teeth and shimmered in the winter sun.

Perhaps influenced by Suarez, he now wants to find something to bite into......

By the time Ronschit departed for Qatar with the national team, UEFA had already started the 2010 awards ceremony in Nyon, Switzerland.

This is the first year since the merger of the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, and the Ballon d'Or has become the most prestigious individual award in football, so it has attracted special attention.

But the ending seems to be a bit of a surprise: Barcelona's big three Messi, Xavi and Iniesta monopolize the top three, while Sneijder, who has been very vocal before, led Inter Milan to the treble and led the Netherlands to a World Cup runner-up, did not even make it to the top three.

Messi lifted his second trophy in a round of applause, and from his expression, it could be vaguely seen that he was also a little surprised, after all, this year is a World Cup year, and Iniesta's stunner has made Spain the new king.

He also knew that he had been a little out of the way in terms of collective honours this year, with the club failing to defend the Champions League and the national team being slaughtered by Germany, so he had already decided to work harder in the new year.

The subsequent draw for the knockout rounds was equally noteworthy.

Tottenham, Schalke, Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk are the top eight in the group, while Inter, Lyon, Valencia, Copenhagen, Roma, Marseille, Ajax and Arsenal are second.

As the guests' hands flicked, groups of pairs appeared in front of the audience.

Defending champions Inter Milan have drawn Bayern Munich, who have been in poor form recently, and everyone is not optimistic about the rebuilding Bundesliga giants.

Barcelona and Arsenal, two of Europe's most famous technical teams, meet in a narrow way.

Real Madrid meets Lyon.

Roma vs Shakhtar.

Valencia and Schalke 04 battle.

Chelsea, who have always been unlucky in the Champions League, were lucky this time and drew a big gift package from Copenhagen.

Manchester United is also a good signing, Marseille.

Ajax, who replaced AC Milan in the knockout rounds, had the same luck as Milan, as they met Tottenham Hotspur, the fourth Premier League player in their second Champions League appearance.

Van Basten finally didn't have to sigh in fear, this opponent he can accept, not too strong, but definitely not a rookie who can be bullied at will.

And, I heard...... Tottenham also has a sprinter in the spurs?
