521, the most familiar away

It's still September 28th.

On this day, Long Shute was very busy.

Having just collected his trophies in Munich in the afternoon, he was already on the bench at the San Siro in the evening.

AC Milan welcomed Sampdoria in the sixth round of the league with a semi-substitute line-up.

After all, Milan has just experienced a week of double matches, and Milan, which has many veterans, needs to rotate appropriately, including Kaka, Abbiati, Montolivo, Balotelli, De Jong, Abate, Emmanuelsen and other players are all excluded from the starting lineup.

Then the fans watched a group of substitutes play most of the exciting offensive and defensive battle with Sampdoria, but the score was still 0-0.

Milan, who have the power of the home field, was beaten by guests from afar, whether it is offensive or defensive, it is impossible to see that one of the two sides in this game is at the top of the table, and the other is ranked 15......

Huang Feixiang, who was in charge of the commentary, could only put on the posture of an ancient fan:

"Ah, back in the nineties, the heyday of Italian football, Sampdoria, one of the seven sisters of Serie A, was also a team with a great reputation, and we can't underestimate them because of their achievements in recent years, because ...... There is no weak team in Serie A! ”

He then watched as Lonshette got up from the bench and trotted onto the pitch, taking advantage of the 80-minute mark, when most of the Sampdoria players were out of fitness, scored two goals with overhead kicks, and Balotelli's direct free-kick was the icing on the cake, and the final score was set at 3-0......

After this game, Long Shute, who scored twice, was unexpectedly criticized:

"I actually went back to Munich to receive the prize before the competition! Ronshit does not respect Italy! ”

"AC Milan is rubbish when they can't win big against a weak team at home!"

"AC Milan narrowly missed their first defeat of the season, and the root cause of everything is him!"

"A hat-trick is over! Sampdoria shows the way for all Serie A! ”

"It's better to look at the present than to indulge in the past trophies! Long Shute can't sleep on the merit book! ”

"Milan's shortcomings are exposed: the strength of the substitute squad is weak, how can it fight on multiple fronts with such depth?"

……

These bull-headed news headlines were originally only seen in the domestic media, but he didn't expect to see similar "incisive analysis" in Italy, which made him only shake his head and laugh self-deprecatingly.

Fortunately, it is only in Italy now, and if it were England, I am afraid that what he said to Allegri before coming off the bench would be reported by those omnipresent journalists, who would even hire so-called lip experts and psychological mentors to conduct a "rigorous" analysis of each of their words, so as to come to the conclusion that "Long Shute is really a big tumor", "his every movement and every expression reveals a full of cancerous atmosphere"......

Of course, these dissenting voices tend to go unnoticed or dismissed as minor jokes in the context of Milan's continued wins, but when Milan do lose, they immediately go viral and drown out Lonshette's arguments.

Fortunately, Longshute doesn't have to think about this problem for the time being.

A day later, on September 29, he traveled with the team to the city he knew best.

Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.

-

It's still the same city with bright lights, neon flashes and scents.

On the roads that are cut by the river, all kinds of citizens still ride their bicycles and flash quickly.

In the cheap shop windows along the canals, scantily clad technicians flex their curves in a fancy, inviting guests to relax.

"Urby, you're Dutch, aren't you?"

Emmanuelsen was asked.

The Dutch full-back patted his chest and boasted to his companions:

"In the evening I invite you to the best night club in Amsterdam to see the heavenly and earthly feasts of our tulips! If you want to go, come and sign up! ”

-

Long Shute refused the invitation of his old friend, and he went to the community where he used to live alone, visited several neighbors who took good care of him, and also gave a small gift.

He also came to the future training base and sent a couple of tickets to Ajax's veteran goalkeeper, Tony McMallaman.

McMalaman looked at the fast-growing Longshute and couldn't help but sigh that time had flown by:

"Remember the first time you came here, it was just on my chest, right? I didn't expect to be half a head taller than me now! ”

Long Shute smiled and nodded, but he spit out a sentence in his heart:

I was 16 years old when I joined Ajax, how could it be that it was on your chest?

-

October 1 is just around the corner.

After two years and four months, Long Shute once again stepped on the arena he was most familiar with.

Amsterdam Arena.

In most stadiums, there is a tradition of a live DJ enthusiastically introducing the team's starting players, creating a big atmosphere at home.

In this kind of ceremony, everyone can clearly tell who is the fan's favorite player by the sound of the fans' shouts.

In the evening, after introducing the team's 11 starters, Ajax's live DJ paused for a moment and then raised his voice again:

"Now...... Welcome to our former captain and hero who brought Ajax back to the top of Europe, Ronshit! ”

-

In fact, Long Shute can only be regarded as the former vice-captain of Ajax, but it is understandable that the DJ removed the word "vice" in order to set off the atmosphere.

What's more, even Suarez, the first captain at the time, once frankly admitted that in that incredible season, Lonshette played a more important role in the team's treble than himself.

Although it was only a short time, there was no doubt that Lonjut was one of the club's most dominant players, and he officially entered the ranks of Europe's top stars with his impressive performances that season.

For Lonshette, two seasons at Ajax will always be remembered.

For Ajax, Ronshette is the superstar they have produced.

-

"Haha, Daley, long time no see, and this one, Sim...... Captain. ”

Before leaving the players' tunnel, Long Shute also had a cordial conversation with his former comrades.

Ajax was a crowd of heroes, but just two years later, most of those key players have gone to a higher stage, and the only ones who can start today are his former midfield partner Sim de Jong and close roommate Daley Blind.

In that team that swept through Europe, captain Suarez went to Liverpool, vice-captain Ronshit came to Milan via Bayern, third captain and main goalkeeper Stegrenberg went to Fulham via Rome, defender Enno also played for Fulham, defender Van der Wiel went to Paris, Belgian defensive duo Vertonghen and Aldreveld went to Tottenham and Atletico Madrid respectively, and finally joined up at Tottenham, and the youngest talent in the team at that time, Danish teenager Elkeson was also called to Tottenham......

That's where Ajax is.

Even if they won the Champions League in 2011, they could not save their decline.

A great trophy, an unbelievable miracle, just allows their players to sell millions more euros in the transfer market.

Longshut misses this place very much.

But he didn't hold back at all.

He wants to prove one thing to his former fans and teammates:

He is the strongest player Ajax has produced!

Bikruyff, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, Kluivert, Stam, Ibrahimovic, Seedorf, Sneijder, Suarez, ...... It all adds up to a strong one!
