Green Dragon

Chapter 14 Saving Van Basten
"Dragon, I have to go."

Suarez kicked the ball into the empty goal and then shrugged at Longzute who was lying on the ground panting.

Long Shu nodded, and slowly got up from the turf.

It has been two full months since he was transferred to the first team by Van Basten.

In the past two months, Ajax has miraculously achieved an unbeaten record of seven wins and one draw, and the gap with No.2 Twente has also narrowed to 1 point. They can complete the lead at any time!
As long as they surpass Twente and get the second place in the league, they can qualify for the Champions League next season!
Whether it was Van Basten or the entire team of Ajax, they all felt indescribably excited. They were advancing in the league as if they were on a doping drug. The locker room was even more harmonious than ever. Things seem to be going well.

Two months of training with the team was enough for Long Shute and the first-team players to get to know each other. Definitely the one with the least status in the locker room, but not reduced to the point of needing to scrub the sneakers of every big guy in the locker room.

Van Basten also intentionally or unintentionally arranged for him to defend the two forwards of Suarez and Suleimani. Long's abundant physical fitness, speed and reaction that are not inferior to any main forward often make him the best partner for offensive players. , and more importantly, under the strict training requirements of Van Basten, Long Special never made any complaints.

Even the most critical coach, after seeing Long Shute's tenacious training attitude, can only criticize at most: "Why are you working so hard? Do you want our main striker to be injured in the training game?"

As for why he couldn't stop Suarez's sharp breakthrough, no one will ask this question-because Suarez has proved to the whole Netherlands that his ability is not at the same level as others, and it is normal that he cannot be prevented.
-
Returning to the apartment, Long Shute changed into loose casual clothes, and then picked up the game console that had been randomly thrown by the bedside.

Times are changing, and the outdated and simple GBA has been replaced by the latest version of the PSP.

The resolution of the screen has increased a lot, and he can clearly see the face that is almost identical to his own.

This system, which he criticized as the weakest in history, besides basic attributes, standardized training plans, and suggestions for diet and nutrition, has also successively added key training, physical fitness management, and friendliness functions in the past two years.

Focused training, similar to the allocation of training points in live football, can allocate energy to different projects in proportion; physical fitness allocation management can ensure that he devotes all his energy to training under the premise of ensuring life safety—meaning no Will destroy himself to death.

These two auxiliary functions have a great effect on improving his attributes, but the friendliness function seems to be a bit tasteless: he can see the friendliness index of each teammate and head coach towards him, such as Van Basten The friendliness to himself is 71. Among the players, Suarez is 68, and Suleimani is even higher at 70; defenders Vermaelen and Vertonghen are 73 and 66 respectively, and they are slowly increasing over time.

However, there are exceptions. The friendliness of several midfielders, especially those who are better at defense, is slowly declining, and one of the substitutes even fell below the median value of 50.

However, this has no effect on Long Shute. He is not a child who is not ignorant of the world. He was born in China and knows the complexity of interpersonal relationships. In a group of nearly 30 people, it is absolutely impossible for him to be with everyone. Everyone is like a brother - not to mention that he is just an outsider from the football desert.

Oh, by the way, teammates with higher friendliness are of course more friendly to Long Shute, and are more willing to provide him with guidance during training, and the tacit understanding between the two parties will be slightly higher. Then the other party is likely to ignore his existence.

In addition, this function does not seem to be of any use-after all, Long Shute has no chance of a formal game, and Van Basten, whose friendliness is as high as 71, does not even intend to put him in the squad.

"Drip!"

Just after turning on the power, the handheld made a crisp electronic sound, and before he took any action, a dialog popped up automatically:
"Enable the auxiliary function [Today in History], and the task system will be more abundant in the future."

He grinned:

Except for the time in 2005 when I was asked to stay in the youth training camp of the Premier League club, I never received a second mission.

Then the sound of "Didi" came again.

"Task Requirements:
Make sure Ajax qualify for the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League!

Task background:

In history, Ajax only won the third place in the league in the 2008-2009 season, one point behind the black horse Tewente, and lost the qualification for the Champions League next season. Washing hands is no longer taught alone.

Task time limit:

From now until August 2009, 8.

mission rewards:

Turn on the second stage of the auxiliary function [Friendship System].

Failure penalty:

Do not lift for life! "

Long Shute couldn't help spitting.

This system is not only the weakest system in history, but also the most vulgar system in history!
What else would you do besides threatening my little JJ? !
-
However, he still shook his head and turned on the new function that had just been turned on.

This is really a purely auxiliary function, as the name suggests, this is to introduce the experience of Ajax in the 2008-2009 season.

Perhaps because of insufficient authority or level, he can only see things a month later at the farthest.

As described in the mission, Ajax launched a point-chasing journey in the final stage of the league. They once narrowed the gap with Twente to 1 point, but with their unexpected loss in the penultimate round, they ended up with 0 points. After losing to the 4th-ranked Sparta Rotterdam with a big score of -14... The point difference between Ajax and Twente was once again expanded to 4 points, and finally lost the league runner-up. Next season can only continue to participate Europa League matches.

Long Shute looked at Ajax's record in reality. Except for the first league game after he was just transferred to the first team training, the team scored an extra goal. There is no difference, even the goal scorer is exactly the same.

His focus is on the next month's game.

Will he have a chance to play in the last four league games?
If he doesn't even have a chance to play... then what can he do to save Ajax?

Van Basten didn't let him enter the squad. How did Long Shute, who was sitting in the stands, save him as the head coach?
-
On March 4, the 18th round of the Eredivisie League.

这是冷门频出的一轮：排名第一并且已经提前夺取冠军的阿尔克马尔在主场1-2输给了维特斯，排名第二的特温特客场0-1输给了排名第十的费耶诺德，排名第四的海伦芬0-2输给了排名No.11的乌得勒支。

This was originally an opportunity for Ajax to chase points, but unfortunately they did not seize it.

Ranked third, they lost 2-6 away to sixth ranked Eindhoven, breaking the biggest upset of this round of the league!

In this game, their midfield was useless, allowing Eindhoven's attackers to rush around without any restraint, but there was no effective interception!
They even forgot about fouls!
Head coach Van Basten was furious in the locker room. He abandoned his image of a gentleman, tore off his straight suit and shirt, and lashed out at the defensive players for not being men!

After the storm finally passed, Long Shute, who was sitting in the corner, was the last one to pack his things.

He accidentally touched the power switch of the PSP in his backpack and saw a small change.

Van Basten's friendliness to himself... suddenly reached 75 after one game.
