There are two updates today. If you have a recommendation ticket, don’t leave it to others.

"Shh!"

A group of black and white shadows flew into the net against the goal post, causing a white spray.

Then there was another muffled sound.

"Oh!"

Another group of shadows flew from behind at high speed, passed the goal with a strong wind noise, and hit the outer barbed wire.

"You kicked too positively and used too much strength..."

Young assistant coach John van Tskiep shrugged and passed the next football.

Van Basten, who had just finished his demonstration, sneered unceremoniously: "In our Netherlands, even a 10-year-old child can play more accurately than you!"

He was answered by another muffled sound:
"Oh!"

Long Shute's right foot hit the football hard!

Van Basten's smile suddenly froze on his face!

A remnant whip shadow was reflected in his eyes!

The black and white ball soared up against the turf, turning into a black shadow in mid-air, piercing the sky like a sharp arrow!
Unlike the previous one, this time the sharp arrow did not break free from the shackles of strength, but followed the established trajectory, with a subtle arc and a little rotation, and finally plunged into the snow-white goal!

"Yes!" Fantskip was very excited, "It's a good shot! Can we rest now?"

"What are you resting for?!" But Long Shute waved at him impatiently, "One more ball!"

He wants to remember this feeling.

Let every cell of the body remember the feeling of shooting! -
After the first round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying match, only two days later, the 2009-2010 season of the Dutch First Division officially kicked off.

On August 8, Ajax went to an away game to challenge Groningen.

I believe everyone knows the importance of the league and the Champions League, so it is not surprising that Van Basten sent a half-main and half-substitute starter.

Suarez, Van der Wiel, Emmanuel Sen, Vertonghen, Villarth, Stekelenburg, Longst...

None of these guys started.

Van Basten put these main players on the bench. Even when the team fell behind by one goal and the game was deadlocked, he only sent Suarez and Vertonghen to the battle.

The appearance of the two freshmen immediately helped the team stabilize the position, and Ajax's midfield became more stable. The striker, who had no worries about the future, scored two goals in a row and took away the first game of the new season from the away game. victory.

Long Shute recharged his batteries for 90 minutes on the bench, but didn't get a second chance to play.

Not playing a game, it is not enough for him, a young man who has just become a professional player, to lose all hope, because during the game, Van Basten and his coaching team also reminded the players on the bench from time to time that their next In the UEFA Champions League qualifying match, we must pay attention to defensive work.

Since we have to defend... of course we can't lack Long Shute, the best runner in the Ajax midfielder, right? -
May 8th arrived as scheduled.

The Amsterdam stadium, which can accommodate [-] spectators, was packed.

Although it is not completely full, considering Ajax's poor performance in recent years, the attendance rate of more than [-]% is enough to make the ticket center of the stadium rejoice.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Sporting Lisbon coach Bento is making the final mobilization to his disciples:

"1-3 down by two goals is not a big deal, think about it! This is an away game, and every goal we score is worth a thousand dollars! As long as we score a goal, Ajax will be in chaos! Their The defense line will be full of holes! They will usher in the end!"

"Attack! Attack! Attack!"

Young players are easily stirred animals, their eyes sparkling with excitement, and they are led by the head coach menacingly out of the locker room door.

This is what Bento intended.

In this situation where everyone's head is hot and their eyes are bloodshot, few people will really consider the core question:
This is Ajax's home ground, you say you score... you score? !

Do you really think Ajax's defense is paper? !
-
"I know you have been practicing shooting these days, but I don't need you to go forward and participate in the attack in this game!"

Van Basten is also making final deployments. He repeatedly emphasized to his young midfielders:

"Your task is to help the back line stabilize the defense! You must not lose your position easily!"

"They can't let their midfielders get the ball easily! They are not allowed to shoot long shots at the front of the penalty area!"

While chewing the gum distributed by the equipment administrator, Long Shute gritted his teeth and nodded: "If Moutinho can take the ball into the penalty area, I will be a substitute in the team's training match for a month!"

Van Basten hasn't made a statement yet, but Suarez, who is checking the shin guards, can't help laughing.

"Dragon," the Uruguayan god sharpened his sharp fangs, "I'm really looking forward to it!"
-
Joao Moutinho must be very depressed, because without his knowledge, he has become the object of betting by others.

But what made him even more depressed was... Today he met that Chinese player again!

The little guy who didn't seem to have even grown his hair even smiled at himself when he was shaking hands just now!
This made Moutinho, who has always been very conceited, almost blown his lungs!

If I don't beat you up today, my surname will not be Mu! -
"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, welcome to turn on the TV in the middle of the night to watch the third qualifying round of the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League. I am the commentator Shao Shengyi. I am very happy to bring you Commentary for this match."

Tens of thousands of miles away from Amsterdam, at three o'clock in the morning domestic time, in an inconspicuous studio in the capital of China, a young man started his work.

For the qualifying matches before the main match, CCTV has never paid too much attention to them, because these irrelevant matches are not prime time, and secondly, the team's reputation is far inferior to giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Liverpool and Milan, so they often send those The young people who have just joined the TV station give stand-up commentary. Even if they are inexperienced and make some mistakes, they will not cause major broadcast accidents. This is regarded as an "experience" for young people.

"This game is the second round of the contest between Ajax and Sporting Lisbon. In the first round, Ajax turned away and defeated the opponent with a score of [-] to [-], firmly securing the initiative to advance. It's in their own hands; if Sporting wants to come back, they have to score two goals in this game to send the game into extra time! And make sure Ajax doesn't score any more!"

Shao Shengyi paused for a while, and then brought the topic to the point:
"In the first round, the Chinese teenager Long Shute who started the game performed very well. Sporting Lisbon's midfielder Moutinho was in no condition under his strict defense and did not pose any threat to Ajax's goal. , didn't even make a decent pass, and was substituted in less than 60 minutes. It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of Long Shute that frontcourt players such as Suarez and Suleimani can pass more Focusing on offense, his importance to the team is self-evident. Even the head coach of Sporting Lisbon, Bento, praised him for his unparalleled role after the game. Makelele second..."

Although he has already praised this fellow without reservation, Shao Shengyi always feels that his commentary is still a little bit lacking.

He reacted quickly, and then let out a slight sigh.

A player in charge of defense, even if he can achieve the ultimate defensive work, in the eyes of the public, he will always be just a blue-collar worker, no matter in terms of influence or salary related to his own interests, he cannot compete with offensive players at all. on a par.

Is Makelele's defense strong enough?

At his peak, he almost supported Real Madrid's midfield defense task alone. His role in the Galacticos is obvious to all, and even the blindest people cannot deny it.Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas even said later: If one must be left as his teammate in that team, he does not want Zidane, Figo, or even Ronaldo. He just wanted Makelele.

But the greatest chairman in the history of Real Madrid, Mr. Florentino, is unwilling to raise the salary of the most hard-working midfielder in the Galacticos. The salary that Makelele can get is not as good as the "heartbeat" who just joined the team. "A fifth of Beckham's!"

Shao Shengyi faintly felt a little pity, why is this young fellow like him just a low back...
