"Marco!"

"Marco!"

Marco van Basten seemed to hear someone anxiously calling out his name. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But he couldn't open his eyes.

The heavens and the earth were spinning, and it was pitch black before my eyes.

After a muffled "bang", he felt like he had fallen to the ground.

-

"Ah...... Poor Marco...... Although I don't like him very much, I hope he can ...... in peace in this situation."

In the live broadcast room of Dutch television, the commentator Hans De Kur watched the broadcast with pity.

The Amsterdam Arena, which was originally full of people, was silent at this moment.

Whether it was the fans of the home team Ajax, the fans of the away team Fiorentina, or the players on the pitch who were entangled a second ago, they all became silent at this time.

All eyes were on the sidelines.

The tall and handsome young marshal of Ajax, with a hint of cold temperament, one of the Dutch Three Musketeers, known as the White Swan, Marco van Basten...... Fainting at the end of the game!

"It's said that football coaching is the most stressful profession in the world, and that's true."

CCTV's commentator He Wei couldn't help but sigh:

Van Basten was in the limelight of Ajax's five-game winning streak this season, having beaten rivals PSV Eindhoven on the road two days earlier. But this is life, joys and sorrows are unpredictable, and just two days later, Van Basten fell to the bottom of the cliff! ”

Van Basten finally opened his eyes when he was ready to call for his assistants to lift the manager into an ambulance and take him to the hospital.

"I'm fine, the game ......"

He struggled to get up from the stretcher, but was held down by several team doctors.

"Marko, the game is over, you just need to rest now." Van Downer pressed his shoulder hard and looked at him with a sincere expression, "Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will still be in the dugout for the second round." ”

Under the pressure of the team doctor, Van Basten gave up the struggle, he exhaled a little, and his eyes wandered through the crowd: "Robb, what about the final score?" ”

Assistant coach Witzger hesitated for three seconds, but finally did not hide it from him: "Still...... 1 to 2, we still have a chance to ......"

"Really?" Van Basten slowly closed his eyes.

He suddenly felt a huge sense of powerlessness surging up and down his body.

The two scarred legs also seemed to hurt.

It really hurts!

As the experts had predicted, Fiorentina in Amsterdam were very resolute in their stance from the start of the game, with the exception of one striker, Gilardino, almost all of the remaining 10 players huddled in their own half of the pitch and never crossed the halfway line with ease.

Ajax wanted to play with fluid passing and mercury attacks, but they ran into a hard plate.

Luis Suarez and Suleimani both disappeared into the Italian team's cohesive chain defence, with the two wing-backs Emmanuelsen and Romerdal lacking pace and footwork, but only sinking into the midfield quagmire set up by Fiorentina like their other midfield teammates.

Wonon Anita, who finally got the chance to start, originally wanted to prove to the coaches that although his body is not very suitable for defense, his ability on the offensive end can still beat Longshut, but the 1.66m he was lightly bumped by Fiorentina's 1.82 meters midfielder Ricardo Montolivo, and he immediately couldn't find the east, west, north and south......

When there is no threat in the midfield and the team has to step up the attack, the defenders will have to get involved, and the close-1.90m tall Vertonghen and Oleg's alternation of forward positions has added two highs to Ajax's front, but there is a huge gap behind them.

Towards the end of the first half, it was precisely because the two central defenders collectively rushed into the penalty area to compete for a free kick that Ajax, who was wide open at the back, was caught off guard by the sudden attack of Fiorentina!

It was only Fiorentina's second shot of the game that managed to penetrate the goal of Stegrenberg!

The high emotions of the 50,000 home fans were suddenly poured with cold water, cold and shivering!

Van Basten, who was standing on the sidelines, even heard the sound of his own heartbreak!

His side were down by one goal at home and his opponents got the coveted away goal......

Do you have a choice?

Nope!

The second half almost became a half-time attack drill for Ajax, with Suarez, Soleimani and substitute Kvitanic leading the way with an all-out attack on Fiorentina's penalty area.

But the Italians are the best at this kind of defense, and their defence looks like it has been shaky, but ...... But he never fell.

One way to break down the dense defense is to play long balls, but Ajax, in addition to the defenders, Suarez, the tallest in the front, is only in the early eighties, and there is no advantage in the scramble for high-altitude balls, they can only use their feet.

It wasn't until the 81st minute that Suarez was fouled by an opposition defender as he broke through with the ball, and the Uruguayan striker slammed into the penalty line as if he had been struck by lightning - he has recently learned that to win more sympathy, sometimes you don't need to roll on the ground with your legs on your hands, and it can be more visually stunning to smash directly on the ground......

His shocking fall won the penalty and Soleimani equalised with a stunning finish.

However, a draw was clearly not what Ajax wanted, with Van Basten using the last remaining substitution to further strengthen the attacking firepower in midfield in order to keep up the effort.

So Long Shute could only put on a long-sleeved jacket and sit on the bench honestly.

Van Basten was not wrong with his adjustment, the football match was a gamble, and he gambled that Ajax's spear could pierce Fiorentina's shield first.

Only at this moment God did not stand on his head, and the Dutch spear was broken by the Italian shield.

Less than eight minutes after Ajax's equaliser, Fiorentina finished the game with a quick assault: Montolivo's long diagonal pass from midfielder and striker Gilardino received the ball sideways at the edge of the penalty area, and without any adjustment, he picked up his right leg and kicked a dashing and freehand volley!

Before Stegrenberg could even see his movements, the ball was already in the net!

The Amsterdam Arena was transformed into a silent death scene at this moment!

It was at this time that Van Basten fell into a fainting!

The leaderless Ajax players were completely out of proportion, and Suarez was spinning around like a ghost up front, but no one could get the ball to his feet, and his power was greatly reduced.

He is not the type to retreat and receive the ball, and stage a thousand-mile breakthrough, solving the battle alone, once he retreats to the midfield, he can only return in vain in the face of the steel defense that the Italians can't penetrate.

More often than not, Ajax's attacks simply couldn't get into the edge of the box, with Isati and Anita in the middle always losing the ball too easily under pressure from the likes of Montolivo.

Whenever he sees this, Suarez misses his No. 8 player sitting on the bench watching the game.

Although Ronshette's ability to protect the ball and dribble is not as good as any of the starting strikers, he reacts extremely quickly after conceding the ball, and he can use his explosiveness and counter-attacking ability to regain possession, which often catches opposing players off guard.

If you want to strengthen your offense, you must first do a good job of defense.
