Volume 1 Chapter 25 Victory or Death!

"This is the home of Ajax II?"

When Van Nistelrooy stepped out of the luxurious bus with Eindhoven's colors and the team crest on its body, he looked up at the sky, a little gloomy, and could not see a ray of sunlight, giving people a chilly feeling.

They have played at the Arenal Stadium but they have never played on the pitch of Ajax II.

"Look, that's their stand, it's only a few rows of seats, oh my God!"

"Count, how many fans are there? Is it more than a thousand? ”

"Poor Ajax, poor second team, this game doesn't need to be played at all!"

"Younas, you have to save some effort in a minute, don't knock them down all at once, it's not fun!"

"We shouldn't be playing this kind of game, Dennis!" Younas? Kolka looked depressed and swept towards team-mate Romedahl, who in his opinion was an insult to the Ajax second team.

For them, this kind of game should give the second team youngsters and the first team some opportunities to substitute, why should they be the main force?

"Alright, alright, don't complain so much, get ready to enter!" Van Bommel stepped off the bus and reminded his teammates that although he only joined PSV Eindhoven this season, he has become a big man in the dressing room with his excellent strength and strong personality.

A group of PSV Eindhoven players got off the bus and were immediately led by the staff to the dressing room behind the rudimentary stands.

"Oh my God, this is their locker room?"

"Don't even have a place to shower?"

"The benches are still wooden, so hard, how can you sit?"

Head coach Gretz also feels that the hardware here is indeed a little rudimentary, but Ajax's youth training is famous.

"I'll just take a moment, and I'll leave after the game!"

They departed from Eindhoven around noon today, and after a two-hour drive, arrived in Amsterdam just before the start of the game, and Gretz's original plan was not to stay and go back after the game.

"Then you have to hurry, I'll leave as soon as I finish the game, I have no place to shower, and I feel uncomfortable!"

"As soon as I hear that there is no way to take a shower, I will try to avoid getting dirty all over my body in a minute, you look at their courts, they are all dead grass branches, and it is very uncomfortable to stick to the body!"

"yes, yes, the sliding shovel is also used sparingly!"

Hearing what the players said to me, Gretz also smiled helplessly, but the conditions of the Ajax second team are indeed a little worse, and it is a little inconsistent with the reputation of their youth training, let alone players, he himself is a little unaccustomed to this extremely simple so-called locker room.

…………

…………

Compared to the noisy complaining in the away team's dressing room, the home team's dressing room, which is far away, seems very quiet.

Ye Qiu did not arrange the pre-game tactics, because for the Ajax second team, there is no need for other tactics at all, they only have one choice, that is, to defend and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

As for Ye Qiu's shouting before that he was going to take the initiative to attack, what did he do, those were all smoke bombs.

The players didn't speak, they all sat and looked a little nervous.

It's no wonder that just now, when they were outside, they watched the group of big-name stars in Eindhoven, one by one, getting off the bus, and the thunderous names were enough to make each of them inevitably feel pressure, heavy pressure.

In such a game with a huge disparity in strength, or even a vastly different one, no one can guess how much of a role tactics can play, and no one is sure.

"Are you afraid?" Ye Qiu suddenly smiled and asked his players.

A few of them raised their heads and looked at Ye Qiu, but none of them answered, but from their flickering eyes, Ye Qiu could see that they were afraid, really afraid!

The opponent is too strong, they are too weak, so they are afraid that they will lose badly, without dignity.

Even, if they could, some of them might take the initiative not to participate in this game and choose to escape.

"I'm scared!" Ye Qiu said something that surprised everyone, and then raised his right hand, trembling, "You see, he is trembling, I am also afraid, I am really afraid, there is nothing to be ashamed of, it is normal to be afraid." ”

The players all lowered their heads, which proved that they were also afraid.

"Four days ago, I was in the stands at the Arena and I watched that first team game against PSV Eindhoven and we lost so badly, and I was sitting in the stands and all of a sudden I asked myself, what would I do if four days later my team lost so badly, even worse than them?

"I thought I'd run away!" Ye Qiu's words surprised many people present, and they all raised their heads to look at him, "Really, I really thought about escaping, but after the end, I felt that this would not work, because I escaped this game, and there is the next game, I don't do football anymore, I have to find other jobs, I still have to live!" ”

After smiling, Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and sighed deeply, shaking his head, "After the end, I found out how involuntary people are in this world, no matter what we do, no matter where we go, we will encounter such a powerful enemy as Eindhoven, do we have to escape every time?" Can we escape? ”

The dressing room was quiet, no one spoke, and the players hung their heads and were silent.

"More than three months ago, I made a bet with Westerhoff and they said I was going to lose, but two months later, I won!"

"A little over a month ago, we met the Eagles in the Dutch Cup and they said we were going to lose, but after that, we won again!"

"Now that we have encountered Eindhoven, the whole world thinks that we must lose, does that mean that we are willing to lose like this? Are we willing to do this without any resistance, without any counterattack, and just lose like this? ”

Taking a deep breath again, Ye Qiu smiled, "I don't have a choice, this game is a battle of life and death for me, win, I am still your head coach, if I lose, I can only leave Ajax!" ”

When all the players of the second team heard this, they immediately raised their heads and looked at Ye Qiu in surprise, they had never heard of this news before, why did they have to leave if they lost? Since this game is so important, why didn't he say it before?

"This is the rules of the game, the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, if I lose, it means that I am a weak person who can be slaughtered, and if you lose, it also means that you will become a weak person who is looked down upon, which is very fair, very fair!"

"It's unfair that they're PSV Eindhoven, the Eredivisie leaders from above, and we're Ajax II, as if we were born insignificant, and we can only be trampled under their feet and slaughtered by them, but does that mean we can't resist?"

"No!" Ye Qiu shouted loudly.

"You have the ability to resist, and the weapon of your resistance is on you, it depends on whether you dare to resist? It depends on whether you have the courage to take the first step of resistance? It's up to you to be determined enough to go out on the football pitch and prove it to all the people and be brave enough to tell them you're wrong! ”

"Do you dare?" Ye Qiu asked.

There was still no one in the dressing room answering, everyone just looked up and looked at their manager.

"Who says they're born to be winners? Who told you that they would be able to control our lives and deaths? Who told you that we were born to be trampled under their feet? I'm here today, I'm going to tell everyone, I'm not convinced, I'm fucking unconvinced! ”

"I'm going to prove it to all the people, we're going to resist!"

"Whoever despises us, we will let him taste our strength!"

"Whoever dares to look down on us, we will teach them a painful lesson!"

"Whoever wants to trample us under our feet and and pee on top of our heads, then we will overthrow him, even if they are high kings, we will pull them down from the throne, trample them under the soles of our feet, make them tremble under our feet, and let the whole world know our name!"

"Victory or death!"

"Victory or death!" The first one to stand up and respond to Ye Qiu turned out to be Abidal.

"Victory or death!" Immediately after that, Kifu also stood up.

"Victory or death!" Van der Vaart also clenched his fists and shouted.

Sneijder, De Jong, Maduro, Huntelaar......

One by one, the players of the second team stood up and shouted in unison, "If you don't win, you'd rather die!" ”

"Victory, Death!!"

…………

…………

Gretz took this game very seriously and he fielded PSV Eindhoven's strongest squad.

The goalkeeper is Watrus, the backline is Heinterze, Nikiforov, Faber and Van der Weyden, the midfield is Kolka, Van Bommel, Volger and Romedahl from left to right, and the double forward is Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nielis.

This can be said to be the strongest lineup that PSV Eindhoven can put out at the moment, but Brudkinke, who has been working well with Ruudney in the front line recently, was put on the bench by him.

Also sitting on the bench were Dutch players such as Bouma, Oyer, Stinga, and Van der Doren.

The current PSV Eindhoven team is full of talent, but correspondingly, the team's hunger for the title is also very high, and the goal this season is to win the double, so they will not only win this next game, but also win Eindhoven's momentum.

Gretz is unusually confident in this, as his team is unbeaten in the Netherlands this season!

On the opposite side of the pitch, Ajax played out the traditional 433 tactical formation as always.

The goalkeeper is Stekelenberg, the backline is Abidal, Kivo, Heitinga and Van der Rew, the midfield three are Frenkie de Jong, Sneijder and Maduro, and Van der Vaart, Huntelaar and Kurul form the front three.

Compared with PSV Eindhoven's star lineup that is strong enough to dominate the Netherlands, Ye Qiu's lineup is unbelievably cold, and I believe that even the fans who come to the scene may not be able to recognize all the players.

Seeing that the players on both sides lined up on the field, I believe that all the Ajax fans present have such a question in their hearts, how long can they resist?

With the referee's whistle, PSV Eindhoven kicked off first.

The ball was passed back from Ruud van Nistelrooy's feet to Vogel and then to Fabel, who found Romedahl with a diagonal pass, who stopped the ball, turned and quickly dribbled forward along the right flank, and soon found himself in the 30-metre area of Ajax.

De Jong posted it as soon as possible, he was the first firewall in front of Abidal.

But just when De Jong thought he could keep up with Romedahl, he didn't expect that this player suddenly increased his speed, drove the ball forward, and then quickly chased after him, and used his speed to skim De Jong's defensive circle.

At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the audience were lifted.

Abidal's attention was always in front of him, and when he saw Romedal cross De Jong's defensive line, he immediately screamed in his heart that something was wrong, and when he saw that Romedahl's kick was a little big, his first reaction was to rush forward.

But he thought, will it be a foul?

In the past few games, successive cards, yellow cards and red cards have left a shadow on him.

But he immediately remembered Bobby again? Harms' words, go to the ball!

I saw that Abidal was also very fast and explosive, like a cheetah that had seen its prey, he rushed out of his garrison area with lightning speed, and aimed at the ball with a fierce shovel action.

What happened in the blink of an eye, Abidal's tackle shoveled the ball out of bounds, but Romerdal also made physical contact with him, and the whole man fell on the pitch, and the referee quickly approached.

As soon as Ye Qiu saw this scene, his whole heart hung up, and he secretly felt a chill in his heart, if he got the card at the beginning, it would be over.

Not only Ye Qiu, but almost all the players of the second team are worried in their hearts, and even Abidal himself is afraid.

But just then, the referee blew the whistle and pointed out to the sidelines, signaling that it was PSV Eindhoven's throw-in.

"Hey, sir, he's shoveled me!" Romedal got up from the ground and protested loudly.

"Don't try to deceive me, I can see it clearly, he tackled the ball, and you deliberately didn't make a move, and bumped into him, it's already polite that I don't give you a warning of fake falls, do you still want to argue with me?" The referee was fair and did not show favoritism because the opponent was PSV Eindhoven's biggest star.

After hearing this, Abidal couldn't help but feel relieved, and then he looked to the sidelines, and found that Ye Qiu gave him a thumbs up, obviously very satisfied with his tackle just now, he immediately grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.

"Hey, French boy, good job!" Kifu also praised behind him.

Before Abidal could speak, Kifu reminded, "Quick, hurry up and watch that bastard, they're going to take a throw-in!" ”

As soon as Abidal heard this, he immediately rushed forward and defended Romerdal closely.

Romedale shifted positions on the sidelines, waiting for a throw-in from Donny van der Weyden, but he had the plan to get past Abidal and cross as soon as he got the ball, and with the quality of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nihlis, he would be able to create a threat in the box.

But when he was waiting for his teammates to kick off, he felt that his back was covered by a wet thing, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and when he looked back, he saw Abidal next to him, and those wet things were his sweat.

"Hey, can you stay away from me? Don't get so close? "Romedal was uncomfortable.

Abidal said stinky and hard, "If I don't get close to you, I'll be a fart!" ”

When Romerdal heard this, he suddenly became angry, and thought to himself, you are a stinky boy from the second team, and your tone is so impulsive, so he wants to compete with Abidal, thinking that he is older, and his physical strength must be better than these second-team players, so he wants to use his body to suppress Abidal and teach this stinky boy a lesson.

But when he began to exert himself, he found that his body seemed to be squeezed against a wall, Abidal was unmoved, and when Van der Weyden's throw-in was released, Abidal was forced, and Romerdal was knocked away by the whole person.

Abidal's header cleared Van der Weyden's throw-in again, and after landing, he looked back and saw the angry Romedalard, he grinned again and sneered disdainfully, "Fuck, it's as soft as a piece of tofu!" ”

This immediately made Romedal unhappy, and when Van der Weyden was about to take the throw-in again, Romedal rushed forward directly, trying to squeeze Abidal with his body, and even hit it.

Beep~

The referee blew the whistle for a foul, walked over, called Romerdal over, gave him a warning for what he had just done, and said that this was also the last warning, and if there was a next time, he would take out the card directly.

Romerdal walked back angrily, looked at Abidal, and felt angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to move him much for the time being, after all, he was blacklisted by the referee, and he was going to eat cards if he was not careful.

After the throw-in was taken, it was quickly picked up by Ajax, but this time the ball was passed to the midfield and handed to Van der Vaart's feet, and Van Bommel chased back and stabbed Van der Vaart's feet in a timely and decisive manner.

That's the gap!

Perhaps Van der Vaart's individual ability is very, very good in the eyes of his peers, but in Van Bommel's eyes, there are holes everywhere, and the pace and pace of dribbling are slow, and it is not difficult to break his ball.

PSV Eindhoven broke the ball and passed it to Romedal again, after all, on the same side.

But when Romedahl was about to break through with the ball, De Jong was close, Abidal sneaked attack, and the two formed a bag, directly breaking the ball at the feet of Romedahl, and clearing the Ajax half with a big foot, but the ball fell into the feet of Eindhoven again.

However, Ajax don't seem ready for a head-to-head battle with PSV Eindhoven, with all the players always maintaining a tight formation and protecting their goals.
