Green Dragon

Chapter 179 Earth Defense War

The head coach of every club will not like the national team game, and the same is true for Van Basten.

After the week of international competition in late March ended, his team added many more injuries. Oleg, who was working for the national team, inexplicably contracted a cold while on vacation and had to stay at home to recuperate.

When the rest of the healthy players gathered at the training base, everyone noticed that behind the head coach Van Basten stood the legendary old man who had just returned to the club.

That is a more legendary superstar than the White Swan and the Three Musketeers, the Flying Dutchman, who alone can represent an era of Dutch football.

"I came back from Spain and it's a great feeling to see Ajax have so many talented youngsters."

Cruyff spoke, his voice was not high at all, but everyone waited quietly for his emotion with bated breath.

"I know that in the past two years a lot of people have called Barcelona the Cosmos, they seem irresistible, but I want to tell you that they are by no means omnipotent.

Yes, I dare say that no one knows Barcelona better than me. They have the best players in the world, they are used to winning, they are more conceited than anyone else, so they are afraid of failure!Once they fall behind others, they will immediately show their true colors and be vulnerable! "

Cruyff took a breath slightly. Years of heart disease and increasingly serious lung cancer kept him from getting too excited. He smiled at the players: "I hope you don't face Barcelona. Be merciful, I have nothing to do with them, if you beat them, I will buy you all a drink."

After finishing his short speech, Cruyff slowly withdrew from the training ground.

In this clearing, only Van Basten's voice still echoed:

"Barcelona's tactics have been known to the whole world in the past few years. From a conceptual point of view, they are not fundamentally different from us. We have no reason to fear them."

"There are people who complain after every draw that God is making things difficult for our young team, but I never feel that way."

Van Basten, who cried and washed his face with tears every time the lottery was drawn, was cheeky and unconscionable at this time to encourage the players:
"If we just fought to the death with some miscellaneous fish, then even if we won the final championship, who would think that this is our strength? They will only say that our luck is really good..."

"The real strong can only prove their strength after defeating the strong, and gain the respect of everyone, so as to win the favor of the real rich and get a more lucrative high-paying contract... Isn't it like this?"
-
The declarations of the two big men are of course somewhat inaccurate. It is true that Barcelona’s tactical play in recent years has indeed been thoroughly studied by everyone, but none of the coaches who really dare to pat their chests to ensure that they can beat them No.

The madman who once led Inter Milan to victory over Guardiola, Mourinho is regarded as the most promising person to stop the Cosmos team, but the Galacticos he led lost a clean and tidy first round of the national derby. 0-5.

The tactics of tiki-taka seem to be very simple, so simple that any fan seems to be able to say a few words casually, but no one can explain the essence of this tactic, and even the biggest reason for the success in Barcelona lies in The issue of the player or the head coach will also cause endless quarrels between the two fan groups.

After the success of Barcelona, ​​countless teams began to follow suit and learn their style of play, but none of them could replicate their success—including the Chinese Football Association, which has always been actively learning advanced experience. It is said that they are ready to hire a Spanish coach to coach in China , It's just that there seems to be some problems with their work. They didn't contact any head coach from Barcelona. Instead, they found a legendary star who was kicked out by Real Madrid and then made a living in low-level leagues everywhere.

In the few years around 2010, the most dominant club in football was undoubtedly Barcelona. In addition, Messi's absolute advantage in continuously suppressing Ronaldo to dominate the football world made their reputation even more impressive.So much so that every time Barcelona's opponents challenged them, they were dubbed by the media as a war to defend the earth.

In the 2010-11 season, Barcelona had almost no weaknesses in Spain. As of early April, after [-] rounds of the league, they lost to the newly promoted Hercules in the second round just because they underestimated the enemy, and there was no game after that Defeat, their level of stability made it almost impossible for Real Madrid, who followed closely, to see the hope of overtaking.

Facing such an invincible team, if Cruyff and Van Basten are really worried, then they must be bragging. Even at their peak, they may not be able to defeat such a cosmic team.

So they started preparing for the game half a month in advance. Cruyff, Van Basten, Bergkamp, ​​other coaching staff members, and Blind Sr. all joined in the heated discussions.

The imaginary enemy they train every day is Barcelona, ​​so that no one thinks about how to deal with the opponents in the league before that.

Under such circumstances, Ajax ushered in the opponent of the 29th round of the league, Hercules at home.

This day is April 4rd, and there are only three days until their time to defend the earth.
-
"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

When there were three consecutive muffled sounds over the Amsterdam Arena within 8 minutes, the game lost all meaning.

The commentator of the Dutch TV station De Kool completely lost his voice, only his partner Jansen was still exclaiming:
"Ajax's vice-captain went completely crazy today! He scored a hat-trick in the opening 8 minutes of the second half! He made it 3-0! In front of the Chinese dragon, Hercules has no hope!"

"It seems that the Chinese captain, who did not participate in the national team match last week, has indeed held back a lot of energy. Every shot of him is extremely powerful!"

He Wei, who is thousands of miles away, found a good reason for his compatriots:

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first hat-trick of Long Shute's career!
We all hope that this hat-trick can become a symbol of the beginning of a legend, and hope that Long Shute will present more exciting performances to the audience in future games! "

Van Basten, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at the young man wearing the No. [-] jersey with a red envelope, and he could clearly see the astonishment on his face.

No wonder he was so astonished, because Long Shute's three goals were all long shots from 20 meters away!
Perhaps Ajax focused all their energies on the UEFA Champions League match three days later. In this league, many players fell into inexplicable excitement and were unable to enter the state for a long time. Although they would not be suppressed by their opponents, the match Also once fell into a difficult situation.

In order to break the stalemate, the Ajax deputy started the Qianyuan Burning Blood Kungfu three times in a row in the second half, consuming 15% of his physical energy each time, adding all six attributes to the attribute of long-range shooting, directly increasing from the original 13 It's 19 o'clock in bright red.

His luck was really good, and he hit all three shots. When the Hercules player reacted, the score had become an irreversible 3-0.

A midfielder who has never shown his long-range shooting talent in more than two seasons suddenly scored three goals in a row.

However, what surprised him even more was that Long Shute, who usually played nine or ten minutes in a league game, was more than enough, not long after scoring three goals, he raised his hand to signal for him to be replaced...

"The game lasted less than 10 minutes, and Long Shute asked to leave the field? Could it be that he was injured?"

He Wei couldn't help being startled too:
"It's the quarter-finals of the Champions League with Barcelona in the middle of the week. As the core of Ajax's midfielder, if Long Shute is absent due to injury, it almost means... Ajax raised his hand and surrendered in advance! "

His words may be too absolute, but whether it is coach Van Basten, Suarez on the bench, or Cruyff watching the game in the box, they can't help but feel nervous.

But observing Long Shute's exit posture, there was no sign of injury at all.

"It's nothing serious. I've been training too hard recently, and I can't keep up with my physical fitness. I may need to take a break," Long Shute explained to the head coach and teammates with a smile, "I can continue to participate in training tomorrow as long as I sleep. .”

Van Basten breathed a sigh of relief.

He definitely would not want to lose this general before the fierce battle.

Because in a certain sense, the vice-captain held the key to the outcome of that vicious battle.

As the midfielder with the strongest one-on-one defense in Ajax, the opponent Long Shute wants to guard...of course is Messi.
