With Feyenoord holding leaders AZ Alkmaar in a stubborn draw away, Truet and Ajax took the opportunity to close the gap on leaders AZ Alkmaar, and the hopes of the two teams in the title race were boosted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Louis van Gaal said: 'We won't make the same mistake as tonight and not get all three points at home, the blame is on me, I didn't control the emotions of the players.

But let me tell you one thing, we are still the leader, we are still four points ahead, we are still the strongest contenders for the title! ”

Van Gaal said aggressively: "I'm not going to give them any hope, what I'm going to do is make them despair and let them know that they can only earn second place!" ”

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Basten said: "We've been on the right track lately, we've won six in a row and we've narrowed the gap to the two teams ahead of us, which is a shared win and a reward for our hard work.

The difference of six points is not very big, we have a chance to catch up, and we also have a chance to surpass!

It's been four years, Amsterdam needs this trophy, Ajax needs this trophy, the fans need this trophy, the players need this trophy!

I need this trophy too! ”

With his team continuing to win and close the gap on AZ Alkmaar, Basten opened his heart to the media for the first time and sounded the call for the title.

"The excellent performance of the players on the pitch has regained the respect of the fans, and there are more than 10,000 players coming from afar tonight to cheer us on and make us feel like playing at home!"

"Half of the credit for our victory, so to speak, came from the fans!"

Basten knew that the further back they went, the more the team needed the support of the fans and the loud shouts they had from the stands. Those shouts from the fans are what motivate the players and get them through the toughest stages of the game.

In fact, in a sense, players play football for the fans, and without the support of the fans, they don't go to the scene to watch the game, and they don't buy the players' jerseys and other peripheral products, the club simply can't survive.

This is also a big reason why small clubs are struggling to survive, because their fan base is simply not comparable to that of big clubs, and their income is relatively much less.

Even many small clubs are in high debt and operate in debt.

Maybe at some point, the club will go bankrupt because of too much debt.

Germany is undoubtedly a model for this, and they have basically done a fair job in TV sharing, giving the small clubs room to survive.

The Premier League, the best in the world, and La Liga, which gathers a large number of superstars, are unfair in the sharing of broadcast fees, and the giants take the lion's share, and other clubs can only rely on cultivating young players to maintain many times, and eventually sell these young players to the giants to live.

Modern professional football has reached the golden era, and if you want to let those players with strength stay, the club must give him a high salary, and it is obvious that many clubs cannot meet this, so the players go to play in leagues with higher salaries.

The population of the Netherlands is small, the number of fans is relatively limited, and the Eredivisie's overseas market development is sluggish, and the income is simply not comparable to other European giants.

So stabilizing the inherent fans is an important job for every Dutch club.

"Thank you to them, I hope they will continue to give us endless courage and endless strength to fight against powerful opponents in the future!"

When Ajax fans heard Basten's words, they shouted this slogan: "Let's go to the championship with Ajax, we have no regrets if we win or lose!" ”

This slogan touched a lot of people.

……

Back in Amsterdam, Chen Fan is both expectant and nervous, the fourth round of World Cup qualifiers is about to begin, and Van Marwijk is about to announce the list for the match against Ireland.

Chen Fan believes that his games must have left a deep memory on Van Marwijk. Even if a striker scores in six consecutive games, it can be described as "hot", not to mention that he is not a striker.

He has a lot of confidence to get into the Dutch national team and play against Ireland.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on March 23, the official website of the Dutch Football Association announced the list of national teams, and Chen Fan and Van der Wiel, who had recovered from his state, were selected at the same time!

Chen Fan didn't see the news on the official website, but received a call from the club at twelve o'clock at noon, asking him to report to the Holiday Inn the next morning!

Chen Fan told his mother and friend Fang Jinyu the good news as soon as possible.

The mother's eyes were moist, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, patting her son on the shoulder, and walking into her room. Chen Fan knew that this was his mother's need for an independent space to reminisce about this beautiful mood.

So he went back to his room and called Fang Jinyu.

"Well done! Fanzi, I knew you would be able to stand firm in the Dutch team! ”

Friend Fang Jinyu said excitedly: "Fanzi, now is an important moment, you not only have to fight for the game, but also strive for the start!" ”

Starting the game, in general, proves that the player is the main player of the team, which means that it is important to prove your status in the team.

Chen Fan, who was in excitement, nodded and said, "Okay!" I'm going to start! ”

When the news came out on the official website, his teammates called him one after another to congratulate him and encourage him to perform well in training and strive to play.

The domineering spirit of the academic tyrant Fang Jinyu was reflected at this time, he hoped that Chen Fan would start the game, and the teammates of the competitive team hoped that Chen Fan would be able to play as long as he could play.

……

The media does not have much opinion on this list, even if a newcomer like Chen Fan enters the list, which is too different from Chen Fan's entry into the Dutch training team last month.

At that time, the media questioned Van Marwijk's selection criteria, after all, Chen Fan was not famous at that time, he was still a player in the Eredivisie, and he had never set foot on the field of the Eredivisie.

But more than a month later, Chen Fan has played six Eredivisie games, scored a staggering eight goals and provided six assists, which is a beautiful report card.

Even those Michels supporters, under this list, can't say anything.

The media is interested in whether Chen Fan will play against Ireland.

Will it be a starter or a substitute?

Is it right-back or right-back?

As for the first question, the reporters feel that Chen Fan has a great chance of playing, and there is a half chance of starting.

But when it comes to position, the reporters are divided into two factions, the dominant one believes that Chen Fan should play at right-back, after all, he is familiar with this position, and his performance in the Eredivisie is also very good.

"Chen can make the most of his characteristics in this position, he can play his speed advantage in attack, he can show his stealing ability in defense, and Van Marwijk is very defensive and he is most likely to play in this position!"

The reason for the underdog was that "since Van der Wiel's form is back, he should be allowed to play, so that Chen Fan can be freed up and he will have more opportunities to participate in the attack." ”

The two factions were at loggerheads.
