101. The leader of the marathon
"Dragon, you kid...... How is it that the way you play now is a bit like that Luis guy? ā
One day in training in March, Bergkamp suddenly asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It has been nearly four months since he returned to the team, and as a training maniac and technical poor, Long Shute is of course his key target for poverty alleviation.
Although he doesn't show any particular talent in his career as a training coach, Bergkamp has a pretty good eye as a top star.
As a professional player who has just retired for a few years, he knows how difficult it is to improve his skills, especially a player who is about to turn 20 years old, and the skills of most players in this age group have already been formed.
But in just four months, he had witnessed such a thing, and all of Longshute's skills were slowly growing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
He also vividly remembers that in Van Basten's mouth, Ronshit, who had just entered the first team, could miss eight out of ten times even if he received a long pass from a teammate during the run, but now he has slowly become a regular deterrent weapon for the team.
The teams in the Eredivisie are starting to realise that Ajax's No.8 is no longer the engineer who only keeps his head down in defense, and his attacking potential is awakening little by little, and sooner or later he will become a terrifying character who is as steady as a rock when he retreats and as fast as lightning when he advances.
In the face of Bergkamp's question, Ronshette's answer was very reasonable: "Luiz's technique may not be the best in the team, but it is the most simple and practical one, and it is what I need the most, so I have been learning from him, coach...... Is there something wrong? ā
"No problem, no problem!" Bergkamp waved his hand again and again, and then he sighed slightly, "Although you have average talent, your physical fitness is extremely outstanding, and you are a piece of good talent and jade, but it's a pity that you didn't meet a good coach when you were a child, and it was too late to learn the arts." You must know that the best age to build the foundation of our industry is before the age of fifteen, and although you are making rapid progress now, this is the result of double training. If only you had met you a few years earlier, then I could teach you all my life's skills, so that you can enjoy the thrill of playing your opponent with technology every day......
That slightly regretful tone, coupled with the figure of putting his hands on his buttocks, makes the whole person look particularly vicissitudes.
Van Basten's voice came from far behind: "Hey, master, you went to the wrong set, this is not a martial arts movie!" ā

After a one-goal win over Real Madrid on 16 February, the spirit of the Ajax club seemed to have risen to a new level overnight.
Although such a victory has a great element of luck, in the football world, the winner is the king is the biggest iron rule, not to mention that their victory is neither stolen by the referee's black whistle and UEFA's care, nor by malicious fouls and lethal tactics, but really relying on everyone's efforts, a knife and a gun in the ice and snow to win, why can't you accept it with your head held high?
Back in the league, Ajax are becoming more and more unstoppable.
We can even beat Real Madrid...... What opponent can stop us from moving forward?
On February 19, in the 23rd round of the league, Ajax, who played as a full substitute, beat Heerenveen 2-0 away.
On the 25th, the main players finished their rest and they swept Vitesse 4-0 at home, and Suarez scored twice.
On March 1, Utrecht, who swept the goal-to-door stadium with the same 4-0, and Ronshit, who played the whole game, brushed up an assist.
On the 7th, Van Basten, who has hidden most of the main players, led the team to defeat Sparta Rotterdam 2-0 in Rotterdam, and won eight consecutive league wins and ten consecutive victories in all competitions since the 19th round.
Eight wins in a row and ten wins in a row may sound like a lot of power, but when Van Basten took a breath and looked back at the league standings, he realized that his rivals hadn't fallen behind!
After 26 rounds, Ajax won 22, drew 3 and lost 1, accumulating 69 points, which is enough to be proud of any league.
But Twente also won 21 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss with the same excellent results, accumulating 67 points, and still close behind their ass!
Even the third-ranked PSV Eindhoven has 19 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 62 points, which is not far from Ajax with 69 points!
That's a hassle!
Don't look at Ajax's recent lead, know that the league is like a marathon, and the leader at the beginning is not necessarily the winner.
Because the frontrunners will always maintain a high level of tension and psychological pressure than the chasers, and with the Europa League in Twente already out, they can concentrate all their energy on the league, but Ajax still need to prepare for the upcoming Champions League game!
The opponent is Real Madrid, Van Basten and his disciples will inevitably go all out, and Ajax, who has not joined any reinforcements at all in the summer window, is obviously a little powerless in today's two-line battle, once they have a large-scale injury wave, or several core players are banned from the league with red cards, and the team's results fluctuate, it is likely to cause an overall collapse!
Twente and PSV Eindhoven are like two hungry tigers, and as soon as Ajax takes a nap, these two tigers will immediately rush up and tear Van Basten and his disciples to shreds with their sharp minions!

On March 8, the day after Ajax's victory over Sparta Rotterdam, Van Basten took his team on the plane.
"When you go to the Bernabeu, you always feel like you're pilgrimage to a holy place......
On the charter flight to Madrid, an excited Emmanuelsen muttered.
There are not a few players who feel the same way as him, and only a halfway monk like Long Shute can squint calmly and peek at the slender waist and soft thighs of the Spanish flight attendant.
"The Bernabeu is a great stadium, but we're not civilized pilgrims," said coach Van Basten, who is not deaf, and felt the need to correct the atmosphere in the cabin. Our goal is to...... Make the Bernabeu the hell of Real Madrid! ā
Bergkamp, who was sitting behind him, nodded thoughtfully:
This white swan, who used to look cold before and after, why has it become more and more crazy recently?
-
A 1,000-kilometre flight was not a long journey, and two hours later, Long Shute had already followed his teammates to the hotel that the club had contacted.
After dropping off their luggage, they went to the Atletico Madrid training ground, the Espino training base.
As Real Madrid's rival in the same city, Atletico Madrid can only be regarded as a little brother next to the behemoth, even relegated to the second division in the past few years, and returned to La Liga after several struggles, in the past two years, with the support of huge funds, it has entered the top four of the league for two consecutive years, won the Champions League ticket, and can be regarded as a strong team in front of it.
Lonshette, who didn't know much about La Liga, didn't have much of an impression of Atletico Madrid, but he was slightly surprised when he saw the players training at the training base.
In his eyes that can digitize players, he can clearly see that there are three players in the Atletico Madrid team with a comprehensive rating of around 85 points!
Striker Diego Forlan, who is the captain of Suarez's national team, and even Suya, who has been hot since 2009, has not been able to snatch the title of Uruguay's number one superstar from him.
Striker Sergio Aguero, the Argentine under the age of 22 is also not weak, he is Messi's closest partner in the national team, and is the son-in-law of the football king Maradona, who is extremely talented, with a value of 23 million euros at the age of 18, and is now a hot striker in Europe.
and their number two goalkeeper...... David De Gea, the 19-year-old homegrown goalkeeper turned out to be the highest-rated player in Atletico Madrid!
In the warm-up practice between the two teams afterwards, De Gea actually made Suarez almost go crazy on the spot!
The Uruguayan striker shot 6 times in a row in 40 minutes, and all but one kick flew away, and they were all denied by De Gea!
Such performances made Van Basten and Bergkamp both angry:
No wonder De Gea is known as Casillas' hottest successor!
If Ajax had money, they would have bought this little guy!
However, Long Shute, who could see history, could only shake his head helplessly: such a superstar of tomorrow...... Where is the turn to get Ajax to reach out!
