42, the declining duo

"Marco, Marco, what do you think of Florence?"

"Mr. Van Basten, how sure are you about the upcoming fourth round of qualifying for the Champions League?"

"Mr. Suarez, as far as I know, you have never played in the Champions League, do you feel nervous about this unfamiliar competition?"

……

PSV Eindhoven coach Fred Luten's face is as dark as pig iron. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was the third round of the 2009-2010 Eredivisie season, and it was the PSV Eindhoven home press conference, but the media reporters ignored the home coach and asked questions of the away coach and the captain.

Even more infuriating is the fact that these journalists asked questions about the game with tomorrow...... It doesn't matter a penny!

"Beep beep beep! Puff puff! ”

A piercing popping sound suddenly sounded in the originally hot venue, and the reporters couldn't help frowning.

Van Basten was tapping the microphone on the table with his palm, and the sound came from the microphone.

"Gentlemen, this is the pre-match press conference for the third round of the Dutch Bundesliga, and there is no half guilder (the former currency of the Netherlands) related to the qualifying round of the Champions League, so I refuse to answer these questions."

The Ajax coach clasped his hands over his chest with a cold and arrogant look.

For these media reporters, Van Basten didn't buy it in the first place.

He hasn't forgotten how these men touted themselves three years ago when he led the Dutch national team to an unbeaten 10-win and two-draw run from the 2006 World Cup qualifiers in Germany.

"Punch Gullit, kick Rijkaard to the throne! Marco is the head of the Dutch Three Musketeers! ”

"The best national team coaching performance since World War II! The true biography of art football! The savior of Dutch football! ”

"Cruyff: This disciple of mine is better than the blue!"

"Dare to talk back to the best manager of the day? Van Gaal's time is long over! ”

"Even Rinus Michels (Dutch football legend and creator of all-attacking and defending tactics) has to bow to the wind!"

"When a player can win the Golden Ball, he is invincible as a coach, he is more terrible than Pele and Maradona!"

――That's probably how it feels.

However, when the Dutch team lost back-to-back World Cups and European Championships, the hype changed overnight.

"The stubborn and stupid head coach destroyed the Tulip Golden Generation!"

"Don't listen to people! Unchanged tactics! Sluggish command! The head coach is fully responsible! ”

"Lack of respect for his predecessor Van Gaal, Van Basten died unjustly!"

"Van Basten step down from the altar! The strongest Holland was actually routed by the weakest Portugal?! ”

"The Dutch coach still has to watch the black swan!"

"Want to surpass the legend? Van Basten is delusional! ”

As a top player, he has long known what the urine nature of these so-called "uncrowned kings" is, and you don't want to see a trace of discipline and morality in them.

"If you don't have a problem with tomorrow's league game, then I suggest that this press conference end here."

Van Basten glanced at Lu Teng not far away and stood up directly from his seat.

He didn't mind what those journalists were doing to him.

If he can win every opponent and wear medals around his neck at the end of a season, even if he tramples those media under his feet every day, they will continue to praise himself, and even rush to praise "this is the charm of a maverick man" and "how can we mortals understand the world of kings".

And if he loses to his opponent, no matter how good his attitude is, in the world of winning and losing, he is nothing more than an "amiable waste", and then becomes a frequent visitor to the question and answer question of "who was beautiful when he was a player, but after changing careers to become a coach, he has achieved nothing", and has become the laughing stock of everyone.

This is how the world is.

This world is so cruel.

This world ...... It's as simple as that.

-

While Van Basten was pretending to be cool at his pre-match press conference, Ronshit, who was traveling with the team, was playing handheld alone in the hotel.

He was still living with Daley Blind, but the back-up full-back was not in the room at the moment and was called out by his father, Ajax sporting director Blind Sr......

"PSV Eindhoven's lineup, what the hell is this......"

Long Shute looked at the screen of the game console and carefully checked the list of opponents distributed by the coaching staff, and finally sighed.

PSV Eindhoven, who has walked out of countless superstars who shocked the football world, and stood alongside Ajax and Feyenoord, is now just a sick cat without minions.

There is no player in the PSV Eindhoven first team today who can be called a star!

Even if it's a few years from now...... Nor did it!

In the [history] system that Lonshette can see, only Ibrahim Afelai in the PSV Eindhoven team can barely enter the public eye, but he is only a third-rate player who has traveled to Barcelona, Schalke 04, Olympiacos, and Stoke City, and his other teammates are even more miserable, most of them can only be reduced to a nine-tier league that is lower than the Eredivisie.

It may be strange that with such a line-up without any big names, PSV Eindhoven won the Eredivisie title four years in a row, completing a four-season monopoly, and crushing Ajax under the ass every year, until last season's meritorious manager Ronald Koeman switched to La Liga, and Van Gaal's AZ Alkmaar won the title steadily.

Moreover, it is these PSV Eindhoven players who can only fight in the nine-tier league that beat the star-studded Ajax with a score of 4-3 on August 16, 2009, which has just won two consecutive league games...... Kick back to Amsterdam!

Longshut looked at the specific data of the game provided by the system, Ajax played the main force, and Suarez scored twice in the first half, helping the team to be the main opponent for a while.

But things changed five minutes into the second half, when the home side scored twice in four minutes to put the lead in succession, but PSV Eindhoven didn't take long to get complacent, and just two minutes later, Ajax's left wing-back Emmanuelsen equalised.

The time that followed became hand-to-hand combat, with fouls and yellow cards dominating the game.

Over the course of 90 minutes, a total of eight players from both sides received yellow cards, including five for Ajax as the visitors, and even striker Suarez was not spared.

In such an atmosphere, it is clear that the minds of the visiting players cannot be focused on attacking, and the manager can only replace those players who have been swept away by the blood, but ...... When Ajax's main attackers Suarez all lost their composure, PSV Eindhoven's attack followed, and it was no surprise that they took the lead again.

The 4-3 score showed that it was a game that was very much in line with the attacking style of Dutch football, with both sides defence being ineffective for the vast majority of the time, apart from a few fouls.

Offensive tide, goal shootout, foul, yellow card, anti-away dominant, overtake, equalizer, reversal......

With so many elements coming together, this was supposed to be a classic battle in which fans on both sides watched to the death and approached myocardial infarction, neutral viewers were enthusiastic, and TV broadcasters made a lot of money.

But now, Long Shut has arrived.

Van Basten put him in the starting line-up.

The Chinese dragon, who missed the last round, is now hungry and thirsty!
