Chapter Seventy-Four. Babbel's advice
The match caused quite a bit of a stir after the game.
For Ajax, the media has been full of praise and praise for Li Lin and Eriksen to the sky, but this praise is not acceptable, because if there is no such performance in the game three days later, then wait for the reporters who are now blowing you to the sky to the ground, Li Lin said that his mentality is very balanced. And Erikson is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and he will not care about these things.
Things weren't so good for Twente and McLaren, with the media criticizing McLaren, not only questioning McLaren's line-up but also his conservative attitude on the pitch, with plenty of criticism in stark contrast to the flood of praise he received before the game. So professional football is so cruel, unless you can keep winning, otherwise these criticisms and doubts will follow you for a lifetime, on this issue, Jose Mourinho may be a typical example, madmen have been moving forward with praise and criticism since their debut, maybe McClaren and Mourinho, lack that confidence and self-sacrificing feeling.
"It's not easy to be a head coach!"
At the post-match press conference, looking at McLaren, who was flushed with red faces and asked sharp questions by reporters, Li Lin couldn't help but sigh. There are some questions, Li Lin feels a little disrespectful when he listens, but there is no way, who made you the head coach of this team? How many people have enjoyed praise when winning six in a row, then how many people will be criticized for losing this game.
In fact, Frank de Boer next to Li Lin is the same, even if he won two consecutive Eredivisie titles and helped Ajax return to the top of the Netherlands, he still couldn't satisfy everyone.
However, now the attention of the whole Ajax team is focused on the Champions League in midweek. After the match against Borussia Dortmund, Ajax will sit at home against two strong opponents in a row, which is very important for Ajax, if they can win at home, it will not only boost their hopes of qualifying, but also a great boost to the morale of the team.
And for Ajax, a good news is the Champions League opponent in midweek, La Liga giants Real Madrid's recent poor form, in the fourth and fifth rounds of La Liga lost to Sevilla and Vallecano respectively, the state is sluggish, until the last round, Real Madrid swept Deportivo La Coruna 5:1, it can be regarded as stopping the decline, but they have fallen behind Barcelona in the standings by as much as eight points, it can be said that Real Madrid dug a big hole for themselves at the beginning of the season.
However, in this case, Mourinho's side will inevitably focus more on the Champions League, and this game cannot be missed for Real Madrid.
Training Center of the Future.
"Oops, it's a familiar part again! Isn't it boring to come to this show every time? ”
Li Lin sat in the locker room, holding a newspaper in his hand, with a playful smile on his face,
Eriksen shook his head helplessly, he was used to it. Every time it comes to confront this kind of giant, there will be various rumors in the media that the other party wants to buy himself, and he was really excited at the beginning, but there are many such things, and he understands that this is just a means to disturb the morale of the army, and whoever believes it is a fool!
Seeing that Eriksen ignored him, Li Lin tried to continue to tease the other party: "Christian, this is the best time for you to show your loyalty, right, in the face of Real Madrid's pursuit, you still resolutely choose to stay at Ajax, what a perfect bridge!" ”
Eriksen rolled his eyes again, if Real Madrid wanted him, he would wait until this time, and he had a clear estimate of himself, even if he really went to Real Madrid, it would only sit on the bench, and the grave of Real Madrid's young people would not be blown out. Of course, this situation may have improved a little in recent years, but it is true that it is not as serious as it used to be.
"Real Madrid who likes to go, I won't go anyway," Eriksen shrugged, his tone was relaxed, his career plan will not change easily, now is not the time to go to the giants, "Li, I didn't say anything, what are you anxious about, you won't be jealous of me, right?" ”
This time, Li Lin rolled his eyes, if Eriksen was going to sit on the cold bench, then he might go directly to the loan career, and he was not stupid.
Fisher, who was listening quietly, looked at the two boring people speechlessly, and finally couldn't help but say, "I said can you two stop daydreaming!" Let's go to Real Madrid, don't be kicked into a fool in this game first! ”
"Hahaha!"
Fisher's words caused a burst of laughter from the other players.
Li Lin and Erikson also shook their heads with a smile.
At this time, Babbel, who usually rarely spoke, opened his mouth.
"We have a lot of young young stars in the team, and some of them are even better than I was back then! I'm glad to see that you're so calm in the face of the interest of the big guys. ”
Hearing Babbel's words, the locker room immediately fell silent, and everyone was quietly listening to what Babbel wanted to say
Babbel glanced at Eriksen and then at Li Lin, and continued: "I was too anxious to go to a wealthy club back then, so I became what I am now. This is not to make excuses for myself, of course there are my own reasons for this, but the external environment is also a fact. ”
"What is good about a famous star, in addition to the strength factor, his technical characteristics have been finalized, his psychology has matured, so when he comes to such a big club, he only needs to adapt to this club and even this country, once he adapts to it, he can immediately contribute his ability to the club, which is why big clubs are more willing to buy famous stars."
"And a young player, your strength is not enough to play in such a big club, your playing skills and style are not fixed, you also need to face the tactics of adapting to the team and the style of the league, which puts forward requirements for all aspects of you, at this time you need someone to help you through this difficult period, but many big clubs will not have someone to help you. There aren't so many managers who try their best to tune a player like Alex Ferguson. ”
"Ferguson has been at Manchester United for more than ten years, his reputation is unmatched, he has no positional worries, and he has a good score, so he is at ease, and he has time to adjust young players like Cristiano Ronaldo."
Speaking of this, Babbel's face showed a hint of envy obviously.
'And I'm at Liverpool, there's no one to help me, Benitez is anxious all day because of the results, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to the development of a young player, although it's cruel, but that's the reality.
"If you have confidence in yourself and can enter the big club sooner or later, then don't be in such a hurry, it is better to go to a team that can make you the core and help you grow!"
After Babbel finished speaking, the locker room fell silent, everyone didn't expect that the taciturn Babbel since coming to the team would say such a thing so sincerely, I don't know who started, the locker room gradually burst into applause, and the applause became more and more enthusiastic.
Seeing this scene, Babbel's face, which had been expressionless, softened a little and a smile appeared.
Outside the locker room door, hearing applause inside, Frank de Boer's face flashed with a hint of relief, nodded, and turned to walk towards his office.
