92. The Last Lunch
Since there was no list of WHC Wizps' players and related information, even the players opposite looked like gray villains in the eyes of Longshut......
The course of the match was nothing short of miserable, with Ajax ending the final game of the 2009 season with an 18-0 scoreline. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They staged one of the bloodiest massacres in the history of the Dutch Cup in Wizp's stadium with a capacity of only 8,000 people!
Four Ajax players scored twice, captain Suarez blasted six goals, and even Ronshit got plenty of attacking opportunities and scored his own goal in the 80th minute!
The difference between a professional team and an amateur team is on full display in this game, after all, the players in the Wizpo squad are likely to be university professors, taxi drivers, postmen, plumbers and plumbers in their usual occupations...... It's hard to get these people to play against a team that has just reached the last 16 of the Champions League.
Van Basten showed no mercy and turned the 2009 calendar around with the most complete squad and the best performances.
-
"From tomorrow onwards, you can enjoy a two-week holiday, and today's simple lunch, even if it's a Christmas dinner prepared by the club, I hope everyone will have a good time."
It was noon on December 23, and Ajax President John Jacques made a brief speech at this year's year-end dinner, as is customary.
He urged his coaches and players to continue their efforts in the second half of the season to reverse FC Twente to regain the league title for the club and put in a better performance in the Champions League.
Then he gave out the December bonus as a red envelope to each player.
At the end of the conversation, the chairman with a slight protrusion in his lower abdomen also kindly sent encouragement to Lonshette: "At Ajax, you don't need to have any worries, as long as you play well, no one can disturb your life, although the club can't solve all your problems, but we want you to be able to see the team as your solid backing." ”
Although these words were a bit polite, Long Shute still smiled and expressed his gratitude: "I know, thank you, Mr. President. ”
When the clock reached 12 noon, the head coach seemed to have just remembered something, and hurriedly motioned to the staff to turn on the large-screen LCD TV on the wall.
A melody that was very familiar to everyone echoed in the banquet hall.
Van Basten held the goblet and explained: "Maybe we should care about our opponents in the knockout rounds......
"Oh, Marco, how did you become a workaholic now?" Bergkamp shook his head with a wry smile.
But Van Basten taught his assistant a serious lesson: "The players can rest, but as coaches, shouldn't we prepare in advance? ”
Amid their laughter, UEFA President Michel Platini and Secretary General Infantino appear on the screen.
The 16 teams are divided into two brackets based on their group stage results.
The top eight groups were: Barcelona, Bordeaux, Chelsea, Arsenal, Lyon, Sevilla, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Second place is: CSKA Moscow, Stuttgart, Olympiacos, Inter Milan, Porto, Ajax, AC Milan, Bayern Munich.
La Liga's top three and Premier League trio are collectively in Pot 1, while Milan and Bayern Munich have unexpectedly only qualified for the knockout stages by finishing second in their group, meaning there will certainly be at least one battle of the best in the game.
With few teams from the same country to avoid, the draw took only a few minutes to complete.
Sure enough, there are two highlights worth appreciating.
Inter Milan met Chelsea and Jose Mourinho confronted his former club.
AC Milan have met Manchester United, and David Beckham, who has been on loan at Milan from the LA Galaxy, is also on the verge of returning to Old Trafford.
Bayern Munich escaped the siege of the giants in the first gear, and they drew Lyon, the first place in Group E, and Rummenigge looked happy even a fool.
Defending champions Barcelona are ready to teach Stuttgart how to behave, and the Bundesliga side can already declare their Champions League journey this season officially over, and no one will think that they can stop the progress of the Cosmos team - Barcelona in this time period is simply a universe sweep!
Arsenal drew Porto, Serbia faced CSKA Moscow, and Bordeaux competed with Olympiacos for a spot, and these games are not expected to be watched much.
At last...... It's Ajax.
In Infantino's bald hand, he held a piece of cardboard with a glimmering blue light, on which was written a glorious name:
"Real Madrid."
"Poof...... someone squirted out the wine in their mouth.
There were also people who pounded their chests and coughed repeatedly.
Van Basten's goblet almost fell to the ground, his mouth trembled slightly, and finally he couldn't hold back his sound.
He wanted to greet Platini's old mother!
You gave my Ajax as a gift bag to Florentino?!
That's Real Madrid!
Not to mention that they have just bought Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, the two Ballon d'Or superstars, they can buy any player with much more transfer funds than Ajax this summer!
Take a look at their new players this year!
Cristiano Ronaldo 94 million, Kaka 65 million, Benzema 35 million, Xavi Alonso 35 million, Albiol 15 million......
The price of these people can already buy five or six Ajax......
Van Basten suddenly felt that the French wine in his mouth was particularly bitter.
Looking at Florentino's bright smiling face on the TV screen, he couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and shout again:
Damn thief!
I'm Marco Van Basten...... Why is it so miserable!
-
Compared with the head coach with a bitter face, the president of the club seems very calm.
"The round of 16 is already a good result, Marko," Jake reassured Van Basten, "no one is going to put extra pressure on you, you can adjust it and focus on the league competition." ”
Van Basten could only nod.
Now that the big picture has been decided, they will no longer complain about bad luck, but will have to calculate how much additional broadcast costs these two matches against Real Madrid will bring to the club......
Real Madrid's supporters are all over the world, and there are definitely many more countries and regions that follow Real Madrid's games than Bordeaux and Olympiacos.
Jake even considered whether to temporarily increase the cost of home sponsorship advertising.
Van Basten, on the other hand, thinks at a competitive level.
In fact, from another point of view, it is at least much better to meet Real Madrid than to meet Barcelona......
After all, Pep Guardiola's Dream Three team is too terrifying, they have just met God and Buddha in the past 2009, and the entire European club has been beaten out of their hearts, and their deep-pocketed rivals in the same country seem a little weak in such a strong contrast.
You know, before Galeries Lafayette Florentino regained the presidency of Real Madrid in '09, the Galaxy had stopped in the round of 16 in the Champions League for five consecutive seasons......
The name of the Royal Sixteen Lang also spread at this time, becoming a big weapon for other clubs and fans to ridicule them.
But even so, when it comes to facing such a behemoth, whether it is Ajax or other teams, they will still feel a thrill.
It was the most dominant club in the history of the Champions League.
It was officially recognized by FIFA as the greatest club of the 20th century.
It is one of the most influential and appealing clubs in the world.
Anyone who stands in front of such an opponent will tremble.
