Green Dragon

Chapter 114 A Red Mad Dog
"A month ago, Suarez's shocking shot allowed him to save the Uruguayan national team, but his reckless kick just now did not make him a hero for Ajax..."

Dutch TV commentator De Kool was full of sarcasm:

"If this is Van Basten's artistic football, then the future of Dutch football may only be gloomy!"

His partner Yang Sen shook his head helplessly: "In the 4th minute, Enno was injured and left the field. In the 7th minute, he conceded a goal first. In the 43rd minute, the team captain and top scorer Suarez received a red card. The crisis of fighting alone, Van Basten's start to this season is really a bit unfavorable..."
-
Van Basten now has one head and two big heads.

Not only did he use up two substitutions ahead of schedule in the first half, but he also played one less player. More importantly... there are really no reliable players on the forward line now!
Van Basten regretted letting Pantlich and Kvitanich go. The Korean who started the game was almost completely invisible in the opponent's fight, and had no effect on their attacks. The two players on the bench A... Hamdavi has just joined the team for less than ten days, and he has not integrated into the overall tactics at all. As for Soleimani, although Van Basten replaced the Korean with him, the Ajax coach has already expressed his concern for the team. The king of transfer bids in the Eredivisie League so far has lost confidence.

He thought for a full 15 minutes during the intermission, but still couldn't think of a solution to the problem. He could only use some vague language to encourage the players not to be discouraged, and then sent them back to the battlefield.

Van Basten sighed, sat down on the bench preoccupied, and frowned.

Bergkamp on the side looked much more relaxed than him: "It's just an insignificant Super Bowl, so why are you so nervous?"

Van Basten glanced at him: "You won't forget, what is the other name of this cup?"

Bergkamp fell silent for a moment.

The Dutch Supercup, aka the... Johan Cruyff Shield.

Although Cruyff is more accustomed to being called the godfather of Barcelona, ​​he is also the symbol and pride of Ajax.

As Cruyff's favorite disciple, how could Van Basten allow his team to lose this game at home?
-
Long Shute curled his lips and stepped onto the turf in Amsterdam.

The situation in the first half was exactly the same as in history, injuries, conceded goals, red cards, substitutions...

Twente is very strong, and he is full of resentment towards Ajax. Every attack and defense is done with all his strength, and it is absolutely impossible to show mercy.

They lost one player and fell behind by one goal. The situation was very serious, but Long Shute didn't feel any tension.

Yes, the system had already told him the ending of this game in history. The 0-1 score was maintained from the 7th minute to the last second, and neither side scored any more goals in the second half.

But there is no special existence of him in the system.

How can he reverse the disadvantage of one less man and one less ball? -
start running!
Long Shute is not a tactical master. His overall view has not improved by leaps and bounds in football games, but he is sure of one thing: If Ajax does not make any changes, then the ending will not change.

So he's going to run!

Run fast!
-
Van Basten's frown tightened as he watched his formation change from the start.

The No. 8 midfielder who was supposed to stand back rushed towards the opponent's half, completely ignoring the gap exposed behind him!
This is the midfielder!
Once caught by the opponent, it is a deadly attack!

"Is Long Shute crazy?" Dekuer let out a schadenfreude laugh, "What is he trying to do? Does he think he can run faster than the ball?"

The commentator was right. It is difficult for a normal pass to be caught up by the defensive player. Long Shute missed it without any surprise this time.

He is no longer Ajax's secret weapon. Twente is very clear about his details: If there is a player in Ajax who will not give up even if he is in desperate situation, that person must not be captain Suarez Or someone else, it must be this red number 8.

Therefore, the Twente players may not pay attention to Suleimani, who only scored three goals in one season, but they must pay attention to the existence of Long Shute. He just accelerated from his own half, and Twente's control The team members immediately moved the football to a safer area. If Long Shute wanted to catch up, he would have to cross half the field.

Any professional player will know how to choose, chasing the ball like a wild dog and running around the field is a scene that only appears in anime.

But at the Amsterdam Arena, more than 4 live spectators and many more TV viewers saw a crazy wild dog.

"What is he doing?"

"What exactly does he want to do?"

"...It's just an insignificant game, why do you have to work so hard?"

These thoughts are in everyone's mind, but no one will tell them the answer at this time.

Because that person is still running like crazy!

He frantically chased the rolling football, failing again and again, but never stopped.

On the contrary, the Twente players are happy to see the results. They seem to have returned to the usual training game of grabbing the circle. A large group of people are like monkeys, just kicking the ball around at will, which can not only save energy, but also watch the circle. The wild monkeys in the game are running around, but they still can't touch the ball.

Appreciate the despair and anger on the opponent's face up close...what can make you climax and tremble more than this?
Long Shute's breathing began to become heavy, and large drops of sweat began to flow from his forehead and neck, shining brightly in the sun. Even on the TV screen, he could feel the rapid loss of physical energy from his body , but there was still no hesitation in his footsteps.

Regardless of the overall formation and only eyes on football, this is definitely a mistake made by beginners in defense, but Long Shute rushed out without any scruples.

Van Basten's lips were trembling slightly. He knew that this disciple was by no means an impulsive young man, but today's crazy performance really surprised him.

Long Shute has been chasing for more than 15 minutes. During this period, Van Basten had countless opportunities to stop his reckless behavior, but he never spoke.

He just stood on the sidelines, frowning tightly, watching every pass of Twente and every tackle of Long Shute.

After all, he was Van Basten, and in his heart, after all, he still had some unrealistic hopes. He hoped that... that mad dog could bring some unexpected changes to the critical situation.

Long Shute took a deep breath and stopped slowly.

Twente is not monolithic. Under the high pressure of himself and his teammates, their passes have made many mistakes. The pass just now was too hasty and even almost caused an own goal.

He has a strong premonition that as long as he presses a few more times, Twente will only make more and more mistakes.

If he is a mad dog, then the Twente players... dare to bite with the mad dog?
