Chapter 105 It's not easy for Shengtian son-in-law

"The weather is not very good recently."

Long Shute, who is recuperating, can only do some simple upper body strength training, and must strictly control the range of motion to avoid causing discomfort in the legs.

Looking at the gray sky that is rare in Amsterdam, he couldn't help muttering: "I thought I was in BJ..."

"You really don't read the news..." Bergkamp, ​​who was making breakfast in the kitchen, answered him loudly, "The volcano in Iceland has erupted!"

Long Shute put down the dumbbell in his hand speechlessly, and then walked carefully to the kitchen door: "Although I haven't been to high school, I have also studied geography. Iceland is at least one or two thousand kilometers away from the Netherlands, right?"

"Basically, half of Europe has been affected by volcanic ash." The smell of fried eggs wafted out from the crack of the door. "Many flights have been grounded, and even the team can only take the train to play away games."

"I've been isolated from the world for half a month, how do I know about taking the train..." Long Shute muttered.

His eyelids moved slightly, searching the system for Icelandic volcanic ash, and millions of news flooded into his sight in an instant.

"On April 4, the plane of the President of Poland made a forced landing in heavy fog. The plane crashed and 10 people were killed."

Then he fell silent.

Hey, system, you should push some current affairs news, stop pushing pictures of beauties every day, Bergkamp's rice is too bland, and the nutrition can't keep up...
-
The Icelandic volcano has affected more than one flight, and Ajax has suffered greatly.

On March 3th, the first round of the quarter-finals, when the volcanic ash had not spread, the plane could still take off normally, and their opponent Bordeaux arrived in Amsterdam as scheduled.

With Suarez and Romedal scoring a goal each, Ajax defeated Bordeaux 2-1 at home, and Bordeaux relied on the leading striker Chamakh to get back a goal and scored a valuable away goal.

This score is a little bit subtle, but overall Ajax still retains the advantage, but no one expected that after a week, volcanic ash finally enveloped most of Europe.

The flight to France was canceled directly, and Van Basten could only lead his team to the away game by a high-speed train.

Although the Netherlands and France are not far away, it is not a distance that can be reached in one or two hours. There is also a transfer in Paris in the middle, which takes more than 10 hours. It's not a trip, but how have those players who are used to going up and down and traveling thousands of miles in an hour or two suffered from this kind of crime?

What's more, during the one-week double match period, time is even more precious, and the 10 hours of time also completely disrupted Van Basten's combat preparations.

Ajax's away trip was extremely difficult. They fought Bordeaux for 90 minutes in the first half, but they only got a 1-2 result.

2-1 at home, 1-2 away, the two sides drew 180-3 in 3 minutes of two rounds, each team had an away goal, and the two sides entered overtime.

The disadvantage of the away game was magnified after a 10-hour train journey. Ajax's players collapsed after entering extra time. Chamacher's two goals made the aggregate score 5-3. .

Van Basten, who had been fighting with God for a whole season, finally failed to defeat Tian Banzi. In the face of God's volcanic ash, a lonely white swan could only be appointed, obediently took his disciples and continued to return by car.

Ajax, who returned to Amsterdam, was defeated by Venlo, who had fallen into trouble. The winning streak that had been maintained before came to an abrupt end, and the point difference with Twente became 1 point again.

There are still three rounds in the league, and the difference between Ajax and Twente is only 1 point. Everyone is reminded of what happened a season ago.

Last season, Ajax reversed Twente at the last moment. Now that Twente has become the chaser, the lesson from the past is in front of him, and Van Basten suddenly felt endless pressure.

In addition, Van Basten still needs to consider the final of the Dutch Cup, while Twente only needs to concentrate on the league. Ajax is more nervous in terms of time, and suffers even more in terms of players' physical reserves.

If it was an ordinary opponent, Van Basten might have given up this irrelevant cup match, but... the opponent in the final is Ajax's rival Feyenoord in Dutch football!
If you lose to anyone, you can't lose to them!

By the way, according to the Dutch Cup rules, the final is home and away for two rounds!
God damn it!
All previous games in the Dutch Cup were decided in a single game, why there is an extra game in the final!
Still have to take the train! -
"How do you see it?"

Bergkamp put a plate of fried steak just out of the pan in front of Long Shute.

The TV is playing a video of the Arsenal-Barcelona game that Longster said was "downloaded from the Internet".

Messi is moving his legs, flicking the football quickly but lightly, as if he is no one in the Arsenal defense.

Vermaelen, the former captain of Ajax and the backbone of the defense, was like a wooden stake in front of the Argentine fleas. He was broken through at least seven or eight times in a game. Almost collapsed.

Long Shute shook his head: "I can't learn..."

"..." Bergkamp was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted, "Don't tell me... Are you imitating Messi's dribbling?"

"Otherwise?" Ajax No. 8 spread his hands and looked at the wooden figure on the screen, "Should I learn how Vermaelen was passed?"

Bergkamp couldn't help laughing, shaking his head again and again: "If you can learn it just by watching the video, then Messi will probably cry because of you?"

Long Shute frowned and ignored him.

Playing games and watching videos are the only training programs he can participate in now, and it is said that he can improve his tactical literacy...

But he has been watching it for a month now, and the tactical attributes in the system have not changed in any way. Instead, Bergkamp and many teammates who came to visit laughed several times...

Speaking of system attributes, after more than a month of recuperation, his physical attributes and teamwork have declined slightly. Seeing those attributes that he had worked so hard to improve fell again in only one month, he was anxious. There were several blisters at the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, he has received the "imperial decree" from the doctor today:
He can officially come back tomorrow.
-
On April 4, after a 16-day break, Long Shute returned to the Ajax training base.

"Guys," coach Marco van Basten said to the players with a smile before the day's training, "today I introduce a new player to you, Long Shute from China! Please applaud and welcome!"

Amidst the roar of laughter from all his teammates, Long Shute also smiled.

But his eyes seemed to be on fire!

After 35 days of recuperation, he almost fell ill.

He can't wait to get back into training and racing!
He, Long Shute, is back!
