Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Launch in Milan
The reason why many things have to be kept secret is simply that there is no public reason. Just like Milan's interest in He Xu, there is no need to let a young player draw too much attention at a time like the end of the season.
But when Van Basten watched the entire first half from the stands at Mandelmark, he called the team officials, "I said, man, we should be able to announce Milan's interest in He Xu by now." ”
In the second half, Utrecht still played extremely hard, and if it weren't for the bravery of their goalkeeper, they would have disarmed.
The team that aims to overturn Ajax to win a championship trophy has always been in front of the goal, and has never received Ansheng at all, and He Xu is naturally the initiator of this scene. In the second half, he deliberately changed his style of play, repeatedly dropping back to receive the ball, relying on his speed to pull the opponent's backline. This made Utrecht's already weak backline extremely uncomfortable.
Coman on the sidelines nodded with satisfaction, "After a brainless season, He finally has a little bit of awareness as a striker." I don't know if this kid has finally opened his mind, or if I'm a good educator! Koeman didn't know that it was a pity that He Xu's time at Ajax was rapidly decreasing in terms of appearance. No matter how successful he is in cultivating He Xu, in the end he can only make wedding clothes for others.
In the 53rd minute, He Xu completed a hat-trick, after receiving the ball in the center circle, he accelerated away with a very crisp acceleration, followed by a sharp stop to change direction, avoiding two defenders at the same time, he had reached the edge of the penalty area to the right. It stands to reason that He Xu, as a player who prefers to be right-footed, has a bit of a small shooting angle in this position, and looking at the opponent's goalkeeper position, this opportunity is actually not good. As the number one dangerous man in the opponent's team, when He Xu took the ball, the Utrecht players did not dare to slack off, their left full-back hurriedly inserted from the side, He Xu picked up his right leg, and was ready to shoot. In order to remove the danger, the left-back fell to the ground and slid desperately, but He Xu only made a false move with his legs, and gently pulled the ball back when his foot fell, avoiding the opponent's tackle, and at this time there was no defender around him! He Xu pulled the ball back with his right foot and swung his left foot in place. As soon as the Utrecht goalkeeper was nervous, He Xu got up! He pounced with his own prediction!
The ball did not have the speed and force that was expected, but instead drew a long arc, bypassing the head of the defender in the box and the hand of the goalkeeper, and then fell into the goal!
“Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!” Bergkamp, the live commentator, suddenly shouted in the broadcast room, "Oh! O my God! This goal is too handsome! From He's left foot, this Chinese striker who has behaved as if he has hit a ghost many times before, this time must make the opponent feel that he has hit a ghost! ”
He Xu's goal did come a little suddenly, first of all, everyone didn't expect this kid to be able to get rid of it in this situation, and in addition, everyone couldn't believe that this guy could kick such a shot with his non-dominant foot in that position. In fact, for He Xu, although the left foot is not as good as the right foot, it is definitely not a waste leg. Many people will suffer in the future because they ignore his backfoot ability, or regard his strength as luck again and again.
With a 3-0 lead, the score almost lost the suspense of the game. The main thing is that the Ajax players have not let up, they are still fighting the pitch, and at this moment they seem to have forgotten who is leaving and who is staying, who has a better relationship with whom, and who has a disagreement with whom. Alderweireld, who has been almost a full-time player all season, suffered cramps with fifteen minutes left in the game, and when he was taken off the court on a stretcher by the team doctor, he was still shouting at himself, "Hold on, guys!" Resist, the champion is ours! ”
Many years later, when He Xu wrote about Ajax's youth in his autobiography. He also highlighted the night when Alderweireld yelled at his teammates. Although he himself did not understand why he was so impressed by this......
Koeman's three substitutions were only used up when Alderweireld came off and he was worried, having been using his strongest squad just in case.
He Xu's physical advantage was shown, and although his running still seemed to be out of order, it disturbed the opponent's backline. is still the same sentence, it can be questioned that He Xu's goal comes from luck, but no one dares to bet on He Xu's luck with his own victory or defeat.
Garrincha was also thrilled to see his friend score a hat-trick, and despite Koeman signalling for them to keep the ball in control and secure the result, he was still aggressive with the ball and constantly attacking Utrecht's poor backline. His constant onslaught finally paid off, with the opposition defender bringing him down from outside the box.
Massimo Charlie showed his precision with a direct free-kick from around 25 yards out of goal, which went around the wall and fell quickly into the goal, grazing the goalkeeper's palm.
Koeman was completely relieved at this time, with ten minutes left in the game, 4-0, and the opponent was beaten by his own team. There's no reason why you can't win this game.
In the end, the referee did not let the big game last too long, and after two minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Garrincha only then gave up on his feet and sat on the ground. Even Massimo Charlie, who was as strong as his strength, sat on the ground gasping for air.
Coman was extremely excited to lead the substitutes into the field, although this is only a chicken Dutch Cup, but after all, it is also a championship trophy with a little weight!
He Xu, who was elected the best player of the game without suspense, looked at his teammates who were celebrating wildly indifferently, and finally left something here, three goals and a trophy are enough......
The Dutch Cup medal ceremony was nothing remarkable, at least in Ho's opinion. And as an ordinary player, he was neither the first to receive the award, nor did he have the right to lift the trophy, so he didn't think there was anything special about this award.
After calmly accepting the award and celebrating the victory with his teammates, He Xu took the lead to leave the court and walked to the locker room.
When passing through the mixed interview area, many reporters once again focused their attention on He Xu, "Hey! Ho, you've been wonderful! Congratulations, and your team! ”
"Well done! Ho, you deserve this victory! ”
"He, is there anything you'd like to say about this game?"
……
He Xu was silent about the many praises and questions, and just walked out quietly. Many of these media have expressed pessimism about his future before, or directly slandered their own strength with their own strength, for this kind of person, He Xu now only wants to hit them back with goals and silence.
Koeman, who returned to the locker room, naturally chose the best player of the game, He Xu, to attend the press conference with himself and the captain Stekelenburg, who was already crying, but unfortunately He Xu only smiled at the press conference and rarely took the initiative to answer questions, and he pushed many ambiguous questions to the head coach. Koman thought to himself: This is completely inconsistent with He Xu's consistent style!
Meanwhile, at a press conference being held by AC Milan, AC Milan officials officially announced that they would be in talks to buy Chinese striker He Xu, who became a free agent at the end of the season, and they have been interested in Ajax striker He Xu for a long time. And as a friend of Coman and He Xu, Milan official Marco van Basten welcomed He Xu's arrival and was willing to facilitate the transfer.
As for the players, He Xu is still busy dealing with the game, and because of He Xu's contract, there is no problem with this joining cooperation. As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar, and almost at the same time, the news reached the reporters at the press conference here.
Although He Xu is just a little-known young player, no matter who he is, as long as he is hooked with AC Milan, there is no one who is not unnoticed. So the reporters whispered, looking up at each other from time to time.
Koeman, who was sitting at the scene, obviously felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere at this time, and the reporters looked at themselves with ** expressions, all of them looked like they wanted to say something, which made the experienced Coman feel strange and at the same time captured a trace of abnormal atmosphere.
A young reporter was obviously unable to hide his words, and he leaned forward and said: "Mr. Koeman, what do you think about the news that AC Milan is very interested in Ho and is officially preparing to buy him?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Koeman's face, which was still smiling, suddenly became extremely ugly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Reporter, I hope you don't joke, as the head coach of the team, I don't know about this situation, you will have a very bad impact on our team like this, right?" And we have six league games to play in the next six league games, which are directly related to our place in Europe next season. ”
The young journalist took the fearlessness of the ignorant to the extreme, and he continued: "But the news that has just come shows that the Milan side is very interested in Ho. If that's your answer, I'd like to ask the person concerned. ”
As he spoke, he quickly turned the camera to He Xu.
Although He Xu knew about this situation, he didn't expect Milan to announce it at this time, which was a bit sudden.
