Chapter 88. sequela
Sending off Raiola, Li Lin began to train intensively with the team again, this period of continuous double matches in a week made the whole team a little tired, but this time will soon pass, as long as the next league opponent, Utrecht, who was just swept by Ajax 3:0 in the Dutch Cup, Li Lin and the team will be able to usher in a period of repair, because the national team break day has arrived.
At present, for Li Lin, the national team match day is a very good time to rest, anyway, the national team has nothing to do with him for the time being.
Of course, Erikson is dismissive of Li Lin's idea.
However, you can also understand that this is another expression of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Li, you can't go on like this, what about your big ambitions? If you continue like this, you will fall! Hurry up and introduce yourself to Hodgson! ”
Erikson had a painful tone of hatred that iron could not become steel, and Li Lin couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard it.
Roy Hodgson, the new Three Lions manager, was finally appointed as England national team manager in May after the FA sacked Italian coach Fabio Capello at the beginning of the year.
"Coach Hodgson has called me personally, and it's been a World Cup qualifier lately, so he won't call me up, but maybe it'll be considered when the friendly in November comes in, and the manager has said so, do I still need to jump up and down?"
Li Lin had a look on his face, and Eriksen felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it, how could he feel that this guy's career was smoother than his own.
But if Li Lin knows what Eriksen is thinking, he will definitely spit out this guy, he followed the Danish team to the World Cup at the age of 18, and followed the team to the European Cup at the age of 20.
"Maybe when you come back from the national team, our bar will open!" Li Lin silently calculated the time in his heart, and nodded definitely, "Anyway, it won't exceed October, this month should be about the same!" ”
"I'm a little impatient so soon!"
Erikson said with some excitement, this feeling Li Lin used to have, when he stood in front of the door of Poradis, which had just been renovated and ready to open, his heart was also full of such excitement and pride.
"Don't worry, it won't be too long!"
Li Lin said affirmatively.
At this time, Fisher, who had been listening to the side for a long time, roughly understood what the two men were saying.
"You opened a bar together? Are you sure? How about bringing me! ”
Fisher said excitedly, and he didn't let go as soon as he grabbed Li Lin's hand, like a pug wagging his tail.
Paulson on the other side also mixed in with a kick.
"Your bar is open, why don't you invite us to have a drink, it can't be justified!"
Paulson's words resonated with all his teammates, and suddenly the entire locker room was filled with coaxing sounds, which made Li Lin cry and laugh.
"Our bar is open, of course everyone should visit it! Rest assured, all your expenses for the day will be counted on my account! ”
Li Lin looked like I was in charge of my bar, and he was arrogant, but he turned his head and changed his mind.
"Our shareholder, Mr. Eriksen, is also very generous, and he has decided to give all of our teammates a 20% discount in the future!"
As soon as Li Lin's words came out, the players who were still very excited just now suddenly booed with disdain, and the veteran Paulsen led all his teammates to suppress Li Lin and Eriksen who were trying to make money from their teammates by force. Of course, Eriksen himself said that he was wronged, and he didn't say anything about collecting money from his teammates, which is still cool to think about.
Ajax, who have finished their play, are about to face a challenge from Utrecht at home.
Utrecht's performance this season has been good, and it is already a good performance to be sixth in the league at the end of six rounds, but Utrecht's recent form has not been good, and they have just been swept by three goals by Ajax in the Dutch Cup, and they lost again to Vitesse, another team that has performed well this season.
In the face of such an opponent, Ajax is naturally full of confidence and hopes to get another big win at home.
However, this time, Utrecht's coach Watters publicly expressed his hope that the team could face Ajax away from home to regain his previous form, which also made the veteran coach ridiculed by the media.
Coming to the field, the trend of the game seemed to confirm the media's thoughts, and just six minutes into the game, Babbel received a through ball from Eriksen and easily crossed the opponent's defense and pushed it into the far corner to score.
1:0!
Ajax ushered in a perfect start, but in the following game, Utrecht, who conceded a goal first, began a tidal counterattack as if he had opened the seal, which really made Ajax a little out of breath for a while.
"It's not a good situation right now, Utrecht is attacking so hard that we have to defend for the time being. And it feels like some players are out of shape, like Lee! ”
Armand leaned into Frank de Boer's ear.
In fact, what he said, Frank de Boer naturally saw it a long time ago. In fact, it's not just Li Lin, the whole team doesn't feel very in shape, and it's not excited, a little lifeless.
"It's supposed to be two games a week, the players will be tired, and the team was a little overexcited in the last game, so naturally this game will not seem very exciting, which is also normal."
Frank de Boer, who has had a very illustrious playing career, is of course very aware of this situation, but in the face of this situation, it is only up to the players themselves to adjust, and there is no way for others to change anything.
Li Lin felt that something was wrong with him at the beginning, he couldn't lift his energy, his body was a little heavy when he ran, and the whole person seemed to have become wood, and it was obvious that he was very out of shape today. Despite his hard work on the pitch, his performance was terrible and his performance was a microcosm of Ajax's overall performance today.
"You can see that after the midweek game against Real Madrid, the Ajax players were obviously a little inattentive, not very positive, and there was no sense of excitement at all. Lee, who was brilliant in the last game, was completely silent in this game, and we can see that he is still running very the field, but it just feels like something is missing. ”
Wright also knew that the players could not be blamed for this situation, so he did not criticize Lee's performance, but just said that Ajax is in poor form at the moment, and if this continues, it will be a matter of time before he is scored.
"It's normal for young people to have ups and downs, and it's understandable that the last game burned too much energy. However, Ajax's poor form cannot be sustained any longer, and Coach de Boer will have to make substitutions in the second half to turn the tide of the situation! ”
