Chapter 55: The Situation Is Passive [Asking for Recommendation Votes!!] 】

After a break of two international breaks. Over the weekend, Europe's major leagues resumed their battles. Vitesse depart for Amsterdam on Friday, where they will travel to Ajax, one of the top three Eredivisie finalists and the Eredivisie's number one giants.

As the most successful club in the history of the Eredivisie, Ajax was once a symbol of the Eredivisie. The Eredivisie giants, who have won the Champions League four times, have pioneered the all-attacking and all-defensive approach in world football in the era of Johan Cruyff. Since then, Ajax has created a fantastic 95 golden generation, Van der Sar, Seedorf, Rijkaard, Kluivert...... In the eyes of old Ajax fans, it was a superstar era comparable to Ferguson's Manchester United "Class of 92".

Although the Eredivisie is now known as the triwizard competition, in the eyes of Eredivisie fans, only Ajax is qualified to be called a giant.

As soon as he arrived on the outskirts of the Amsterdam stadium, Wen Zhihao saw a large number of home fans in red and white striped shirts holding the team flag and pastel their faces ready to enter. To his slight surprise, the home fans didn't speak ill of them when they saw them walking by. When you think about it, the rankings of the two sides reflect the difference in strength. The opponents finished second in the league and Vitesse were only ninth. If it doesn't pose a threat, why bother with it.

"Zhihao, are you nervous?" Before entering the field to warm up, Zhang Yuning deliberately cared about Wen Zhihao.

Wen Zhihao nodded: "A little, but it's okay." ”

Wen Zhihao is telling the truth, he is about to usher in the first first-team game of his career in Europe, and the opponent is a giant, how can he not be nervous. However, Wen Zhihao has also experienced big scenes before, and now he has his own set of mentality adjustments, which can ensure that he will soon enter the state of competition.

Although there is a gap in strength with his opponent, Frase is not ready to rest on his laurels. He fielded a powerful 4-3-3 formation. Former Dutch youth goalkeeper Luom was in goal, and the centre-back duo opted for the experienced Crucwijk to partner young American centre-back Miazga, with the two full-backs Kosuke Ota and Kashya. Due to Wen Zhihao's playmaking skills in training, Fraser left him with a midfield three on the left, with Lashka and Kazaishvili the other two options in midfield. The front three are French teenagers Nakamba and Lairdán and the team's top scorer Van Wolfswinkel, nicknamed Van Wolf. And Zhang Yuning can only continue to wait on the bench for the opportunity to play.

In the Ajax dressing room, head coach Frank De Boer saw Wen Zhihao's name appear in the opponent's starting lineup, his brows furrowed slightly, and he had some doubts in his heart, could it be him?

When Wen Zhihao shined in the Club World Cup at the end of last year, he made it clear to the club that he wanted to chase the player with all his might, but Leicester City took the lead, and De Boer was still a little regretful at the time. According to the feedback from the scouts on the spot, Wen Zhihao's comprehensive quality is extremely rare in Europe. And at the end he gave a very high comment: the next Ovimas!

De Boer really wanted to complain about the club's intelligence system at this time, this kind of player came to the Eredivisie arena and didn't report to himself in advance!

De Boer, who already has a wealth of coaching experience, made temporary adjustments, and put the position of Haitinga, the meritorious defender of the Dutch national team, who was originally arranged in the right-back position, to focus on Wen Zhihao.

When Wen Zhihao officially stepped into the Amsterdam stadium, he felt the heat wave set off by the audience, and his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. Unlike domestic stadiums, the professional football stadiums in Europe can feel the sound of the crowd roaring in their ears when they stand in the stadium. And the audience deliberately stomped their feet in response to the cheers, and the ground of the entire stadium shook slightly.

Amsterdam TV commentator Carl Kohli is full of pride: "It's enough to make all the opponents who come to this stadium tremble!" Great Ajax! Show your strength! ”

On the other side, Dutch national television commentator Nissen Peja and partner Jan Calus discussed the line-up with great interest: "The stronger Ajax squad has not changed much, and Frank de Boer still has the strongest squad in his mind. But ......"

Peja suddenly looked at his partner suspiciously, pointed to a place in Vitesse's starting lineup and said, "Jane, Henk Fraser boldly lined up a newcomer today, he has never played for Vitesse before. Do you know anything about him? ”

"Huh? Neeson, it seems that your intelligence work is not in place! Instead, Calus joked with his companion.

"What? Is he famous? Peja was even more puzzled.

Calus indirectly explained: "As the new Asian Footballer of the Year, who has just been loaned from Leicester City, let's look forward to Wen's performance!" ”

Amid the noise of the audience, the referee blew the opening whistle.

In his first appearance back in Europe, Wen Zhihao felt that his body was still a little stiff, so he chose to control the tempo and start smoothly. But his thoughts and teammates are not on the same channel. The young men of the Eredivisie are used to switching back and forth between attack and defence at a fast pace. Therefore, there is basically no one in the midfield to cooperate with Wen Zhihao to make short passes. As a result, Wen Zhihao can either only make a long pass to instigate an attack, or he can only pass back to the back line, in short, he plays awkwardly on the field.

The Vitesse players up front were even more breathless. I finally ran to the front to grab the position, and when I looked back, the ball was still passed in the midfield, and some impatient players immediately quit. France's little black Nakamba yelled at Wen Zhihao: "Pass the ball forward, OK?" Don't you look at the situation? Will you play in the midfield! ”

Wen Zhihao was very unhappy with Nakamba in his heart, but he was not easy to refute because of his low qualifications, so he could only nod lightly.

As the game progressed, Wen gradually shortened the distance between him and the striker. Kashya, who was in charge of intercepting later, consciously expanded the sweeping area and removed Wen Zhihao's worries.

Fraser saw the positive changes in the team, and began to smile on his face, with the current performance of the team, as long as there are no low-level mistakes, it is completely possible to compete with the opponent for a while.

After adapting to the first 20 minutes, Ajax gradually showed their overall strength and slowly took control of the situation on the pitch, and Vitesse could only take the initiative to recycle the defence and create a threat with sporadic counter-attacks.

At this time, new problems arise.

With so much pressure from the opposition that the two wingers Nakamba and Lairdán already received positions close to the full-backs, Vitesse's counter-attack could only be completed by striker Van Wolfswinkel. However, Fan Xiaowolf made a big move, and under the focus of the Ajax defence, it was very difficult to get the ball. Moreover, Ajax is very sophisticated, the range of defenders is not large, and the entire defensive system has not been loosened for a moment, and it is basically impossible for Vitesse to rely on his individual ability to penetrate the entire defensive system.

Fraser glanced at the bench and hesitated.

Unless......
