Chapter 36 Basten's troubles!

"As your only friend, if I don't care about you, who would I care about?"

Fang Jinyu raised his head triumphantly.

"Don't be a fool, just say it!"

Chen Fan said viciously.

"I've done research on Ajax, and of course it's mainly the right back." Fang Jinyu said no longer, "The current main right back is Van der Weil."

Chen Fan nodded. Van der Veer is 20 years old and is an outstanding product of the Ajax youth training camp. He entered the first team and represented the team in the Eredivisie.

Van der Wiel is a rising star in the Eredivisie with incredible speed and ferocious assists
So Chen Fan didn't think he could enter the first team so quickly, his opponent was very strong.

"Van der Veer's most outstanding feature is not his defense, but his assists. His defensive ability is average."

Ajax's new star was commented by Fang Jinyu in this way.

"Compared to him, your offensive ability is stronger than him. As for defense... I have seen some of your game clips, your individual stealing ability, I can guarantee that you will definitely enter the top ten in Europe!"

"At this point, he can't compare with you at all!"

Chen Fan sighed in his heart: With the super all-round superstar system, if the steal mode is activated without restriction, there is no problem in being the top ten in Europe or the number one in the world...

"However, this is not enough for Basten to promote him to the first team. As long as Van der Veer is not injured and his state does not fluctuate, I have absolutely no chance, not to mention that the first team has other candidates for backup full-backs."

Fang Jinyu shook his head and said: "Others will not pose a threat to you at all. Ajax has entered a two-lane battle. Van der Wiel is the main player almost every game, and he plays 10 minutes every game."

"Even if he is an iron man, there will be times when he can't stand it."

This reason is not sufficient, Chen Fan shook his head lightly.

"There is another reason. For Basten, Ajax's problem now is not an offensive problem, but a defensive problem."

Chen Fan listened carefully.

"At the end of the first half of the season, Ajax ranked third and failed to occupy the top spot. It was not an offensive problem, but a defensive problem."

"The forward line composed of Suarez, Hendi Raya, and Dario Kvitanić is strong, but the configuration of the three midfielders is biased towards offense, and it appears to be insufficient in defense."

"The four-three-three lineup, once played smoothly, can play a hearty attack and win a big victory. For example, in the fifth round, they beat Heerenveen 11-[-] at home, in the tenth round, they beat Sparta Rotterdam [-]-[-] at home, and in the No.[-] round, they beat Eindhoven [-]-[-] at home, etc."

"But once the offense is blocked, the problems in the defense will be exposed. The two full-backs cannot return in time for assists, and the number of midfielders is at a disadvantage..."

"For example, we lost [-]-[-] away to the mid-range team Twente in the ninth round, lost [-]-[-] away to the main competitor Alkmaar in the [-]th round, and lost [-]-[-] to the underdog Wallendam in the [-]th round, which fully illustrates this truth!"

Chen Fan was shocked. He never thought that Fang Jinyu knew so much about Ajax's record.

"So, Ajax's biggest problem now is not offense, but defense, and you have an advantage over Van der Wiel!"

"When Basten discovers this, when Van der Weil is injured or in poor condition, your chance will come!"

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, but still felt that his words were not convincing. Even if Van der Veer was injured or in poor condition, there were other substitutes, so how could he have a chance.

"The right-back substitutes, I have carefully studied, they either have insufficient offensive ability, or their defense is worse than Van der Weil. Van der Weil can quickly occupy the main position. On the one hand, he is really good, and on the other hand, his competitors are too weak."

Fang Jinyu seemed to know where Chen Fan's doubts lie.

"They couldn't meet Basten's requirements, otherwise Van der Veer wouldn't have been able to play for nine to 10 minutes in a two-lane battle!"

"With such intensity and density, Van der Wiel will get injured sooner or later!"

"I have carefully analyzed Van der Wiel's state, and his state has been declining rapidly recently."

"In addition, as far as I know, Basten did not make any moves during the winter transfer, so as long as Van der Wiel is injured or not in good form, your chance will come!"

Chen Fan began to finish his friend's analysis slowly. When he thought of the Eredivisie match, his heart beat faster.Only by entering the Eredivisie, can you attract the attention of European giants, and you will have the opportunity to jump into the dragon's gate!

"If, I said that if Basten still doesn't choose me into the first team, I can't help it. After all, no one knows what he thinks."

After looking forward to it for a while, Chen Fan regained his composure.

"Then transfer! Transfer immediately next season, and ask your agent to contact Feyenoord, PSV Eindhoven and other major competitors of Ajax. I think they should be very interested in you!"

Chen Fan nodded. Between Eredivisie and Ajax, he would definitely choose the former.

……

The 20-day winter break ended, and the Eredivisie restarted on January [-]. It was a blow to Basten and Ajax.

In their first round, they lost [-]-[-] at the feet of Nijmegen in the away game. The right back van der Veer was mainly responsible for the third conceded goal. He was easily broken by the opponent's striker, and then failed to catch up in time, allowing the opponent to launch a sharp attack on the left.

A week later, Ajax was still in a sluggish state. The once invincible attacking group misfired. Groningen took advantage of Van der Weil's assist and did not have the opportunity to return to the defense in time. A chance was created on the left. Forward Sean Gott shot from the corner of the penalty area and the football hit the net.

Ajax ushered in the first two-game losing streak of the season, and Basten criticized Van der Wiel after the game.Van der Veer rebutted that he was not solely responsible for conceding the goal. Since he assisted, someone should fill the position he left behind.

This creates a rift between the two.

A week later, Ajax returned to their home court against Heerenveen. They wanted to win at home to restore the fans' confidence in the team.

This is a game with no retreat, however, what Ajax and Basten did not expect is that they lost [-]-[-] at home!

Three consecutive defeats!
Ajax fans couldn't accept this result at all. After the game, the fans shouted "step down" to Basten.

Basten and his players returned to the locker room sadly. It was only after Basten came to power that Van der Veer really became the main force of the team.Advocating offense, he believes that Van der Veer's offense has its own characteristics, so he defies all opinions and makes Van der Veer, who is only 20 years old, the main force of the team.

At the beginning of the season, and even throughout the first half of the season, Van der Veer did not disappoint him and provided a lot of help to the team's offense.

As the schedule progressed, other teams gradually discovered Van der Veer's weakness - not returning to defense in time.So they took advantage of this, and often used the gap behind Van der Weil to attack when counterattacking.

Basten's team lost the sharpness of the first half of the season and suffered a three-game losing streak.
