Green Dragon

Chapter 116

Long Shute's goal occurred in the 74th minute of the game, and Ajax equalized the score.

Goals at this point in time are undoubtedly crucial:
70-75 minutes is usually the critical point of players' physical fitness, especially Ajax, which has one less player to fight. If the stalemate continues, it may be difficult for them to have the physical fitness to continue such a high-intensity full-court press.

But now that the two sides are back on the starting line, the Ajax players can finally breathe a little bit of relief and rest their feet for a few seconds.

"If Van Basten thought the equalizer was a big sigh of relief, he wasn't even close!"

After experiencing the shock just now, the commentator De Cour picked up his airs again, criticizing the Ajax coach without changing his face and heartbeat:

"They have one less man to fight, and their physical consumption is far greater than that of their opponents. In addition, Enno's injury has used up a substitution quota in advance. Even if they want to adjust, they don't have much choice. If the game enters overtime, I dare Guaranteed, Ajax will collapse!"

How could Van Basten not understand this truth?
But what can he do?
He is also very desperate...

Now he can only hope that his players can seize the last ten minutes and score another goal. If it is true that the game is dragged into overtime as De Cour said, it will be difficult for Ajak, who is not physically fit. For Si, it is definitely a disaster-you know, there are almost no national team players in the Twente team, and even if there are one or two, they are marginal players from marginal teams...

What should I do?
He still has the last substitution spot in his hands, but he doesn't know who to play. On the bench are the second goalkeeper Vermeer, the new aid Hamdavi worth 500 million, and the backup defender Blind Jr. , Vertonghen, who is not on the front line with minor injuries, and Eriksson, a young player who has just been promoted from the youth team.

Who can I replace?
Who can help him recover from the decline like Long Shute did a season ago?
Van Basten's eyes swept over the five players on the bench one by one, but... he was not sure.

"Dennis..." He moved his lips, but his voice was dry, "Let them all warm up..."

Bergkamp was also anxious. As an assistant, he should have made suggestions to the head coach, but he could only execute such vague orders as Van Basten.

Just as Vermeer and the others took two steps, they heard a whistle from the field.

Two players from Twente and Ajax go down at the same time in a fight!

Ajax's side fell... Lindgren, who replaced Enno in the 5th minute, struggled to get up from the ground and complained to the referee for a reckless foul, but his feet just moved , was knocked down by a sudden twitch!
He has cramps!
-
"Ah..."

De Cour let out a gloating exclamation:

"Look, I'm right, Ajax players are at their limit, Lindgren is just the first, there will be a second, a third soon... I want them to keep playing until the end. 90 minutes and then 30 minutes of extra time is simply impossible."

Even Yang Sen, who has always believed that this partner is not objective enough, has no way to refute at this time: "Van Basten should really consider solving the problem within the regular time, otherwise the situation will only be more difficult for them."
-
The cramped Lindgren has been serving as a left midfielder for a while, and Eriksson and Blind on the bench can both serve. Hamdavi may also consider it in front of him. If he wants to make a substitution, he will only Choose between these three.

"Sorry..." Lindgren tried to use his strength, but finally couldn't hold on. He shook his head helplessly at Long Shute who helped him stretch his legs.

Although he came off the bench, he only played 5 minutes less than the other starters, which is almost equivalent to playing the entire previous 70 minutes. His fate made everyone's hearts sink.

Van Basten saw all this clearly, and Lindgren performed quite desperately during the playing time, so his physical energy was consumed extremely quickly...

As the head coach, he can only accept the status quo and make adjustments as soon as possible.

Then the question came to him again:
Who should I replace?

"Coach..." A familiar voice rang in his ear.

Van Basten was taken aback: because Long Shute, who was on the field helping Lindgren to press his legs a few seconds ago, now appeared in front of him.

"Let Daly play," his young confidant leaned close to his ear, "he is more familiar with our tactics, and he is also more familiar with me."

As a traveler whose actual age is more than 20 years old, Long Shute certainly knows that doing so may make the head coach feel that his authority is being challenged, but he has no time to think about how to express his opinions tactfully.

Because the relationship between him and Van Basten is deep enough, he is a player that Van Basten personally selected and focused on training. Basten suspected that the disciple wanted to shake his status in the locker room.

Of course, with Van Basten's influence in Dutch football, even if Long Shute wants to raise his arms and rebel and become the ball tyrant, none of his teammates will respond to him. Kick out...

"Daly?" Van Basten didn't have time to think about whether his lover wanted to rebel, and his attention was all on Blind.

Blind's job is more inclined to the right back. He has solid basic skills and good defensive ability. In addition, he also has a fairly standard long pass...

long pass?
Van Basten's eyes lit up, and he immediately waved to Blind: "Get ready to play, kid!"

Blind looked at Long Shute who was standing next to the head coach, and took off his substitute vest.

"It's a pity, but you only have 15 minutes to perform," Long Shute looked at him with a smile, "We have to resolve the battle within 15 minutes!"

Although he didn't know where this roommate's self-confidence came from, Blinder's little heart, which was still a little worried just now... suddenly became quiet.
-
"Aha, Long Shute came to the sidelines, isn't he too good?"

De Kool saw the Chinese teenager talking to Van Basten on the sidelines at a glance, and he immediately beamed with joy:
"Longshut's importance to Ajax is self-evident. Without his running all over the field, it would be impossible for Ajax to equalize the score. Now that even his physical fitness has problems, we may be able to Totally determined..."

His judgment was interrupted by Yang Sen in time: "Van Basten made the last substitution adjustment, Lindgren really can't hold on..."

"Could it be... Van Basten was discussing with Long Shute just now?" Dekuer's expression became extremely astonished, "Since when did China No. 8's opinion become so important?"
-
With Blind playing, Eriksson and Hamdavi returned to the bench.

The three places have been used up, and their warm-up activities are meaningless.

Although they didn't hear what Long Shute said to Van Basten, they could tell from the scene of the two of them biting their ears that they must be discussing something.

The 26-year-old Hamdavi's eyes flickered, erratic.

The 18-year-old Eriksson also looked thoughtful.

Everyone knows that Long Shute is the absolute confidant of the head coach. Without his efforts to turn the tide, Ajax's honor last season would definitely be much bleak.

And Blind and Long Shute have been roommates since the youth team!
This stinky brat... used to be a related household, but now he is hugging his thigh directly.
