Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hard Stubble
In the locker room after the game, Sim de Jong came over and reached out to put his arm around He Xu's neck, "Ho! You're in luck. ”
At He Xu's request, his teammates continued the consistent habit of Westerners and only called him by his last name. That way, there won't be a variety of embarrassing names.
He Xu listened to his words and said with a smile: "Then how can it be luck? It's a concentrated display of excellent footwork! ”
The teammates tasted victory again after one loss and two draws in a row, which is somewhat a bit of a long-term drought and sweet rain. The players also temporarily forgot how He Xu's running on the field made their threatening pass a mistake, and they all gathered around him to celebrate this hard-won victory.
Ajax's league win finally made the fans who were still worried about them a little relieved, regardless of whether He Xu's two five goals relied on strength or blind cat to kill the mouse, but as long as he can continue this good luck, it still gives fans a little confidence in the Champions League group stage in midweek.
If you talk about being in a bad mood now, I'm afraid that the only one who is in charge of signing players is Mr. Caron Stein, after all, being hugged and veneered and pulled by an agent with the same surname who doesn't know what orientation is, it will be a little sick to your stomach. Coupled with the fact that he took a closer look at the overlord contract he signed under the offensive of "beauty", it is estimated that Caron Stein will not be happy for a long time after that. Especially when he looked at the players in the team who were chasing the protagonist of this contract, that bastard He Xu, his anger and dissatisfaction were even stronger.
Although a day has passed, Susan is still immersed in yesterday's nausea, because the big fat man he needs to deal with is too disgusting. Not to mention the fat on the face, even the waist circumference is more than three feet, which makes people sick to their stomachs just thinking about it. His idea was that his previous words would be invalidated, and He Xu must be asked to double his commission as compensation.
After two games, He Xu has become famous in Amsterdam, and at this critical moment, he scored five goals in two games to help the team win and draw one, which is already a good performance, plus He Xu's goals are full of drama. Therefore, the attention is even higher.
But at present, He Xu doesn't need to worry, because he is walking on the street, and no one can recognize him even if he doesn't wear sunglasses. In addition, the team did not give him a chance to stay in Amsterdam.
Because after the end of the league in Zhou, there was almost no time to celebrate and rest, and the next morning, the whole Ajax team took a special plane to Dortmund, Germany to prepare for the Champions League.
This is the first time He Xu has taken a plane after crossing, and he still has a soft spot for this big iron bird, after all, when he was still an actor He Xu, he often spent several days on the plane in a row.
When his teammates were resting with blindfolds, He Xu took off his glasses and closed his eyes to calculate what he should do next.
The two domestic league games have given me a certain amount of fame and attention, and the next Champions League is a very important opportunity. Against Borussia Dortmund, it's a game that will keep you noticed, and if you can put in a good performance, the opportunity will really come.
While He Xu was thinking to himself, Coman was also constantly thinking about countermeasures, he had already obtained the starting list for Dortmund, and Jurgen Klopp has always been a bold coach, and he announced the team's starting line-up through the media early.
Weidenfeller was in goal, and at the back Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek. Shahin and captain Sebastian Kyle were paired in midfield, with Grosskreutz on the left in midfield, Mario Gotze on the right and Shinji Kagawa in the middle. The single striker at the top is last season's Polish League Golden Boot, Lewandowski. This is Dortmund's strongest squad, young and experienced, impactful and sophisticated, and now Ajax, it looks like it will be a bit difficult to beat them.
Coman turned his head to look at He Xu, who was sitting in the seat farthest from him, he could only expect your performance, He, how long can your magic last? However, your agent is also very good, and he has such a big problem for the club and me at once.
The content of the contract drawn up by Susan for He Xu, in fact, even He Xu did not read it carefully, but the overlord clause in it even made a pseudo-giant like Ajax frown, if it were not for the team's "striker shortage" now, I am afraid the chairman would not agree to this contract.
That night, when the plane arrived at the airport in Dortmund, Garrincha looked sick. He looked at He Xu with envy, "How did you manage to fly for so long and still have such a good spirit?" ”
He Xu shrugged his shoulders and put on the frame, "I guess this is also a talent!" Hahaha......"
The teammates have quickly become accustomed to He Xu's narcissism and boasting, and usually laugh it off. Give him a roll of the eye at most.
Borussia Dortmund is also a club with a long history, with the Westphalen Stadium, dubbed by its sponsors as the "Signard Iduna Park", with a capacity of more than 83,000 people, one of the most terrifying home stadiums in Europe, and a team that is not comparable to Ajax, but also has an equally illustrious history.
In the training to adapt to the field, He Xu was still wandering around the world as before, often unable to receive passes from his teammates, Coman smiled helplessly, if this kid could catch a few more passes, what a surprise!
In between trainings, Coman asked De Zeu, Enault, Massimo Charlie and Sim de Jong to stand behind him and pass the ball to He Xu, depending on the mood of the four players, as long as He Xu could convert the pass into a shot.
There were five balls in front of each of the four people, and there were two defenders standing in front of He Xu.
The first pass was made by Sim de Jong, the young midfielder's simplest through ball to the ground.
He Xu turned his back to the goal and faced the incoming ball, just when the first defender was about to jam him from behind, He Xu crossed his right foot forward, the ball hit his inner instep, he threw himself diagonally back, and then turned his body to his left, squeezed away the defender and turned over.
Koeman looked at his friend, Denis Bergkamp, who had repeatedly criticized He Xu on live TV before, and his signature move was easily used by He Xu, nodded and sighed in his heart: How good it would be if this kid were a Dutchman, the Netherlands has not had such an excellent center for a long time.
After turning the first defender, He Xu rushed to the second defender to come up to make up for the defense, and quickly pulled out his foot and shot, and the ball flew over the head of the second player and fell into the empty goal that was unguarded.
Then there is De Zewu, a pass like De Jong, this time He Xu is facing the goal, he let the ball roll between his legs with a single leg, and then a bulltail gets rid of the defender who is close to him, and then stabs on the spot, the football rolls into the goal quickly, and the second player has no time to move, and he is scored.
The passes of Ainaud and Massimo Charlie were also easily converted into goals by He Xu, and the faces of Vertonghen and Alderweireld were very ugly, although it was just training, but they were reduced to the background again and again, which was not pleasant.
After only one round of passing, this entertainment training was stopped, Coman is now extremely worried about the player's mentality fluctuations, He Xu, a young striker who is still an unknown junior, is better to humiliate the team's main defender.
There were many reporters who came to watch the open training at the scene, and after they saw He Xu's performance, they couldn't help but sigh, it seems that this time, Klopp's team has encountered hard stubble.
At the end of the first day of training, everyone went back to the hotel.
Just when He Xu was about to go to bed to recuperate, he suddenly received a call, it was Brother Susan, he picked up the phone, and asked with some surprise: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Susan's feminine voice came from there, "I found you two reporters, do you need an interview?" ”
He Xu was stunned, interview? So early? The fact that the Champions League has not even started and is interviewed doesn't seem good. Thinking of this, He Xu finally refused.
However, early the next morning, a lesser-known media outlet published a report titled "He Xu: The Awakening of the Chinese Genius". Among them, He Xu's wonderful performances in the two games were praised greatly, and even the parties themselves were covered with goosebumps.
Naturally, Koeman also saw this somewhat exaggerated report, although it also praised his discovery and trust in newcomers. But he was actually a little annoyed, and He Xu's previous popularity was limited to the Netherlands at most. He was also able to use him as a secret weapon against Dortmund.
Now in this report, presumably even if he doesn't believe in this evil Klopp, he will take precautions and will definitely take some precautions, so that He Xu's lethality will definitely be affected.
After thinking about it for a while and looking at the roster list in his hand, Coman finally made up his mind. He announced in closed training the next day that in the Champions League group stage against Dortmund, the striker Garrincha and Mido started together, and He Xu played again in the second half as a substitute.
He Xu knew that it must be because the report exposed himself, thinking of this, he greeted the relatives of Brother Susan who did not follow his opinion in his heart, but he did not dare to have any verbal blasphemy against Susan. This guy with the same surname as himself and not exactly the same is better to think of less.
However, the angry He Xu still made a phone call to Susan to express his dissatisfaction.
Susan, who seemed to be a self-defeating malfunctioner, was at her home when she received the call, shaking her head with a newspaper, clearly happy with the report she had single-handedly produced.
In the second half, it's good, with your speed against Dortmund's half-disabled backline, it's no wonder that they don't blow out by you.
……
At the previous press conference, a reporter asked Klopp: "Sir, your opponent has a guy who has scored five goals in two games, we all think this is a hard stubble, do you have any means to deal with him?" ”
To this, Klopp only responded lightly, "I think a striker who relies on luck to score goals is not so scary, right?" So, I'm not going to play any tactics against him, Borussia Dortmund are a team that puts a lot of emphasis on themselves and the team will stick to our set tactics. ”
