83. The new coach
No one wants to taste failure. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Long Shute didn't want to.
His teammate Suarez didn't want it either.
Uruguay narrowly beat Costa Rica, fourth-placed Costa Rica, in the two-legged World Preliminary Play-off to secure their final ticket to South Africa.
Suarez, who had been popular all over the world for more than three months, suddenly fell silent after entering November, not only hitting the frame with four consecutive shots in the club, but also failing to score in two games back in the national team......
Suarez soon returned to the Netherlands after his international match, but everyone could tell that he was tired from top to bottom.
Returning to Uruguay across more than half the world for months on end would leave even the hard-fought god of war physically and mentally exhausted.
What's more, he has recently been criticized by the majority of public opinion as "the club is crazy about scoring, and the national team is not working", "the key battle is soft-footed shrimp", "the psychological quality is not up to par", and "the lack of a big heart to become a superstar", the psychological pressure of the already sensitive Uruguayan buck tooth su suddenly multiplied......
The clubs that were ready to make an offer to Ajax during the winter break are now in no hurry.
Suarez is just a good player.
He has highlights, but he also falls into the lows.
You can't just look at the glamorous stats, he can't play at his level when the club and the national team need him the most.
Such a player is not very powerful......
And those media have a "as it should be" attitude towards such things.
That's right!
It's remarkable that a player who plays in the Dutch league has been making headlines in the European media for more than two months in a row and is the most talked-about player.
What else does he want to do?
Do you really want to take to the skies?

November 20th.
As usual, Long Shute came to the training base very early.
"Hey, Dragon, you're the first again!" Tony McMallalman, the base's janitor, leaned out of his office and slowly opened the base's electric door.
"Less in the morning, Tony! You should be active with us! Long Shute greeted him with a smile, picked up the soccer ball at his feet, and walked over the gate with ease.
"Stinky boy, with you little madman? I'm 65 years old, do you want my life! McMalaman shook his head with a smile as he watched the young player pass through the gate and said to himself, "This kid's dribbling level looks ...... Much better than when I first arrived? ”
Before he could finish speaking, the figure that had just passed through the gate staggered.
The soccer ball was bounced up by a slightly raised stone, which immediately disrupted Long Shute's original rhythm of dribbling, and he had to take three steps into two steps to stop the soccer ball that was about to pop out of his control area.
Looking at his slightly embarrassed figure, the doorman couldn't help laughing.
A warm and easy-going lad, so active in training and extra hard in the game, as a long-time Ajax fan, how can you not like it?
McMalaman opened all the doors of the training base, took out the watering can, and simply sprayed a few pots of flowers and plants in front of the door, ready to welcome the incoming coaches and players.
Then he heard someone greet him: "Nicholas, you seem to be fat again?" ”
The doorman turned to look back, and he was slightly taken aback: "Dennis? You're back? ”
This is a middle-aged man of nearly forty years old, with a standard build, a square face, a somewhat high hairline, and very thin blond brown hair, showing the vicissitudes of time and the ruthlessness of time.
The man known as Dennis smiled and opened his arms and gave a warm hug to the doorman: "Yes, I'm back, and Marco invited me to continue as his assistant." ”
"Good, good," McMaraman nodded repeatedly, "We're on a good streak right now, we're only two points away from FC Twente in the league, we're in the Champions League early, you can teach those little guys to go one step further!" ”
Dennis looked at the training base with a look of nostalgia: "I really hope these little guys can be better." ”
-
By the time he noticed a stranger standing on the sidelines, he had already finished his 20-minute warm-up.
The middle-aged man, dressed in an Ajax Club tracksuit, folded his hands in front of his chest, was looking around at the training ground.
New staff, perhaps?
Ronshit didn't care, although he had been here for a long time, it was impossible for him to know all the staff in the club, especially the administration, finance and logistics.
So he just glanced at the other and put the experience back into solo training.
Today's training program for himself was a backfoot dribble, which mainly relied on his left foot to carry the football around in a few corner cones.
It's not the first time he's trained like this, so he's done it skillfully, and the overall movement isn't difficult, and for ten minutes, the ball is like being tied to his left foot, never getting out of it.
If it weren't for his IQ, he would probably think that even Messi and Iniesta would be like that......
Many technical players can play dazzling and stunning style in normal training, but if he is allowed to step on the turf of an official game, I am afraid he will not be able to perform at even a tenth of the level.
This is not only because there are people to watch, whether the overall trend of the game is smooth, whether the support of teammates is enough, the pressure of the opponent, their own psychological endurance, and the atmosphere of the scene...... Even the weather, air, turf conditions, etc., under the combined effect of a variety of factors, the official competition is much more intense than daily training, and it is much more difficult.
Lonshit has now understood that a person can certainly develop a certain sense of the ball if he is immersed in the ball, but if he wants to get more valuable and efficient training, he must cooperate with others, whether it is passing the ball to you or defending.
After finishing a set of dribbling, he rehydrated a little, and only then did he notice that the middle-aged man was still standing on the sidelines.
This time, instead of looking around, the other party stared at him with interest.
"Good morning!" Since the other party was looking at this side, Long Shute would not turn a blind eye, he wiped his sweat and naturally greeted the other party.
"Hello, Chinese boy." The other party smiled and nodded, "Do you need someone to pass the ball to you?" ”
Long Shute was stunned for a moment, and then laughed as well: "If you're willing to help, thank you so much!" ”
The Dutch are very open-minded, very warm-hearted, in other words, sometimes very self-acquainted......
Dennis took off his coat, revealing a fairly strong muscle, and it looked like he was constantly exercising, not the kind of person who sat in the office drinking tea and reading the newspaper and worked behind closed doors with female secretaries......
"What kind of pass do you want? Fast or slow? Before, after? High? Low? Arc? "As soon as he came off the pitch, Dennis showed that he was an experienced specialist.
Long Shute thought for a while: "I need to receive a long pass or a through ...... from behind during a high-speed sprint," he looked at the other party, and felt that this kind of ball was probably a little difficult for ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, the other party nodded without thinking about it: "Then let's start." ”
-
"Toot!"
The whistle is the starting gun.
Long Shute immediately rushed towards the front court at high speed from the middle line.
It's a standard training turf, the same size as the playing field, with a distance of about 40 metres from the halfway line to the penalty area, and a full-fledged sprint that can be completed in less than five seconds.
Five seconds, for an athlete with a strong heart and lungs, does not even require two breaths.
But until he rushed into the penalty area, he didn't wait for the football coming from behind.
So he stopped on the goal line and looked suspiciously at Dennis, who was a few dozen meters away.
The other party shrugged helplessly: "Sorry, let's do it again, I didn't know your speed was so fast!" ”
-
After a bit of adaptation, the two sides quickly reached a tacit understanding.
Whether it's a through ball or a high ball, Dennis can accurately find Longshut who is speeding at full strength, and this skill surprises the latter.
You know, even Ajax's current best passing skills in the team, Isati and Suarez, are far from reaching this level!
If this guy is also a player, he was ...... when he was young How powerful?
Merely...... Although his passing is very accurate and can even give Longshute a comfortable advance, there is still a high chance that Longshute will not be able to complete the unloading steadily.
Don't wonder why you can't even do a single unloading action after practicing for so long, because this is not a regular training content, if it is a static state, Long Shute's stopping kung fu is no worse than any of his teammates in the team, but this is in the process of high-speed sprint, even if it is a demon who has a sense of the ball like Suarez, he often stops out of the bottom line......
"Your passing is so accurate, it's a pity you can't pass the ball for me every day......"
When the coaches and other teammates rushed to the training ground one after another, Long Shute stopped his training, and he walked to the middle-aged man who had been with him for half an hour, and said with some regret.
"Oh, Dragon, you're a newcomer, I've got to introduce you," head coach Van Basten said to Long Shute with a smile as he patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder:
'It's a member of the coaching staff who just came back, Dennis, well, Denis Bergkamp.'
"Nice to meet you," Bergkamp smiled and held out his right hand to Lonshit, "I can pass you the ball every day from now on." ”
