Chapter 66: The second game of the Eredivisie is coming!

In the last round of fixtures that have just ended, there are two key matches, one at home to Ajax against arch-rivals Feyenoord, and the other at the top of the table AZ Alkmaar away to PSV Eindhoven. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike Ajax's big home win over Feyenoord, AZ Alkmaar drew 2-2 away at PSV Eindhoven.

Ajax's big win at home moved up to fifth place and narrowed the gap on AZ Alkmaar at the top of the table.

They are now ten points apart.

With 11 rounds left in the season, 10 points are not an unbridgeable chasm, and if Ajax can maintain their form against Feyenoord, it will not be impossible to re-enter the winning group.

This great victory was timely, like a heavy rain in the desert, green flowers and plants, so that the desert has vitality and vitality.

This big win is like a pair of big hands, removing the dark clouds hanging in the hearts of Ajax, allowing them to see the sunshine and hope again.

When Chen Fan was training, he obviously felt that the atmosphere of the team was different from the previous few days, and there was laughter and laughter in the training ground.

Professional players are a group of people who live under strong pressure, and this kind of team atmosphere is conducive to helping them relieve the pressure on them.

……

The success of his debut gave Chen Fan a boost of confidence, and the Dutch media praised his performance.

However, a game can't say anything at all, and Chen Fan knows that in order to truly conquer opponents, media, and fans, he must maintain excellent condition for a long time.

Take his rival Van der Wiel, for example, who was heavily criticized by the media after his poor performance during the winter break, and fans booed him heavily.

Therefore, in the next training, Chen Fan was very involved and actively understood Basten's tactical intentions, in order to integrate the team's tactical system as soon as possible.

The first team has very little technical training and spends most of its time doing tactical drills, which is the biggest difference from the youth team. After the training, Chen Fan continued to practice basic technical training.

Passing and receiving the ball occupies a large proportion, although passing and receiving the ball is the most basic basic skill, as long as you can play the ball, but the difference between players at different levels is very large.

No matter what kind of pass the world's top players face, they can stop the football firmly at their feet, while ordinary players often get far away from themselves after receiving a long-distance pass or a powerful pass, which is not conducive to handling the ball next, or even being directly tackled by the opponent.

In the game, if it is a striker, it is possible to miss a great opportunity to score, and if it is a defender, it is possible to give an assist to the opponent.

Seemingly simple passing and receiving can distinguish players of different levels.

Chen Fan knows this, so he spends a lot of time training these most basic skills to make up for his shortcomings, in order to catch up with or even surpass those teammates who have been rigorously trained in the academy.

Basten took a different attitude from David towards Chen Fan's practice, he did not send an assistant to help Chen Fan, but just nodded a few words at the appropriate time to pass on his own experience.

In reality, there are world-class strikers like Basten, the virtual training system has systematic analysis and guidance, and Chen Fan's basic skills are advancing rapidly at a speed beyond people's imagination, which can even be described as a thousand miles a day.

Chen Fan at this stage is undoubtedly full of fighting spirit, with the rapid improvement of skills and the positive understanding of Basten's tactical requirements, he gradually integrated into the team's tactical system.

Even, his wing attack has gradually become an important means of the team's attack!

Dutch football is all about flashy attacks, and Basten knows this and spends a lot of time on attacking tactics.

……

February 21 and 22, the 24th round of matches in the Eredivisie.

Ajax's match is scheduled for the 22nd and they will remain at home against Volendam.

Volendam are deep in the relegation zone, sitting last of all teams, and against such an opponent, Ajax will have to win in terms of morale and strength.

According to the Telegraph's pre-match analysis, there is no problem for Ajax to win at home, and the only thing to watch is whether they can continue to win big.

Amsterdam Life also expressed the same opinion: "Against the demoralised Volendam, Ajax had a chance to win in a row, and I hope they will continue to bring us a hearty victory, even a wild victory!" ”

In the face of the media's overwhelming opinion, Basten even remembered last summer's European Championships, when everyone thought that the Netherlands, who had emerged from the group of death, could beat Russia and reach the semi-finals, but Russia dealt the Netherlands a heavy blow.

It was an incomparably painful memory, an incomparably painful lesson.

Basten admonished his players before the game: "We can't underestimate a relegation team, they often burst with amazing energy. No one is allowed to be interviewed by the media before the game, but after the game, you can do whatever you want. ”

'There's no reason why we shouldn't win at home, after the last game, so many fans were hospitalized with injuries and you went to the hospital to see them.

"If nothing else, just for the sake of the loyal fans, we have to win at home!"

Basten's words poured like a basin of cold water on the players, washing away the impetuousness that permeated their hearts and calming them down.

At half past seven o'clock in the evening of the 21st, AZ Alkmaar, who were at the top of the table, played against Hercule away, and after 90 minutes of fierce battle, AZ Alkmaar won 2-0 away.

This invisibly put pressure on Ajax.

At 7 o'clock in the evening of the 22nd, the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium was crowded, and more than 30,000 home fans came to the stadium that can seat more than 50,000 fans to cheer for their team.

They will be hoping for their team to get a good win like they did in their last game.

Compared to the last game, which was almost 20,000 Feyenoord fans, Volendam came with less than a thousand, and that's the difference between a small team and a big team.

There was no one on the turquoise turf, and the players from both sides returned to the locker room after the warm-up to make final preparations for the game.

Ajax fans hung morale-boosting banners in the stands:

"Keep going!"

"We are Ajax and we will always be the strongest contenders for the title!"

"Come on, Ajax!"

Behind the Ajax bench, there is the player's family area, and a young figure suddenly appears in the middle of the wife group. The young man is handsome, typical Asian, with the usual confidence on his face.

This young man is Chen Fan's friend Fang Jinyu.

He came to cheer for Chen Fan.

VIP seats, Ajax high-level gathering, sitting Ajax general manager Rick? Van den Berg was still the same beautiful figure beside him.

Emel is still dressed casually, but her beauty and beauty cannot be hidden.

"Has Chen's new contract been signed?"

Emily asked in a low voice.

Rick? Van den Berg nodded and said: "It was signed the day after the last match. ”

"How much do you pay him?"

"What else can I do? can only meet his requirements, one and a half million! ”

"It's rare to see you so happy, but he's worth that much money."

"If he can continue to do the same as in the last game, it's worth the money!"

"You're so optimistic about him?"

"It's not that I'm optimistic about him, it's Basten who is optimistic about him. Basten put pressure on me that night, and he wanted me to sign a new contract with Chen as soon as possible, so that the contract could not affect Chen's training and matches.

It was the first time Basten had put such pressure on me......"
