Green Dragon

Chapter 46

When the Ajax players began to celebrate the victory and the PSV players left the field sadly, a young man in the stands of the Philips Stadium slowly stood up.

He let out a long breath, took a deep look at the No. [-] player surrounded by his teammates, shook his head and chose to leave.

In February of this year, he left Shandong Luneng, where he had played for many years, to join the giant team, regardless of the club and the fans' persuasion. Time, but I couldn't get even a second of playing time.

Before this game, the domestic media excitedly played the gimmick of "Eredivisie Chinese Derby", but he still couldn't make it into the big list.

Why is Eindhoven not even willing to let themselves sit on the bench?
Why don't they pay attention to the big Chinese market with 13 billion people?

Zhou Haibin has become a little numb to his current situation. The club training in the Netherlands is very scientific and systematic, and the football atmosphere is also very good. Although the residents of Eindhoven don’t know him, when they see him wearing a red and white sword They will also give a friendly greeting when they undress.

But these are not what he wants.

He became famous at a young age on behalf of the Shandong Luneng football school team and won the National Junior League A Championship and the U17 National Youth League Championship. Since his debut, he has been the absolute main force of the National Youth Team and the National Youth Team. Became the youngest national footballer in the history of the national football team. At the age of 17, he won the runner-up of the Asian Youth Championship with the team. At the age of 18, he won the double championship of the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup. He has appeared in the Asian Cup, Olympic Games, and World Preliminaries. what to pursue.

So he wanted to make a name for himself on a higher stage, and wanted to climb to the top that Chinese players had never reached.

So he rushed over without hesitation.

Then he slammed his head against the brutal wall of reality.

When he learned that there was also a Chinese compatriot in Ajax, he once wanted to greet the young juniors after the game as a landlord.

But when the overall outcome of the game was decided, looking at the compatriot who was still relentless in his physical strength at the last moment, he suddenly fell silent.

Maybe he can train hard and play hard, but if he wants to be as crazy and reckless as Long Shute, he thinks he will never be able to do it.

He and he are not from the same world at all.

So he turned and left.
-
For this compatriot who also played football in the Netherlands, Long Shute, who was deaf to the outside world, didn't even know his existence.

A person he has never met, he has no time to care about.

What he cares most about now is of course the UEFA Champions League qualifying match two days later.

This is what all Ajax players and Amsterdam fans are most concerned about.

Netherlands TV [-] also conducted a special analysis on this game. After a "rational and objective" discussion, experts and hosts agreed that:
"Although the overall level of Serie A is much higher than that of the Eredivisie, if we only compare the two clubs, whether it is the background of the team, the number of historical championships, the level of the head coach, and the strength of the players, Ajax has the upper hand. No small advantage.

Although the schedule of first host and then away is a little unfavorable, it is a good arrangement at present. After all, there is only less than 60 hours between this game and the third round of the league. Playing at home can save the tiredness of traveling abroad.

Fighting at home in the first round, Van Basten should strive for victory as much as possible, otherwise, when we return to the opponent's home court a week later, the Italians will definitely not mind showing us what is called an impregnable defense..."

There is nothing wrong with the analysis and suggestions of these experts. In a two-round match, usually the second round will indeed be much duller than the first round. If Ajax can’t gain an advantage at home, then they The hope of qualifying for the Champions League will undoubtedly be much bleak.

So in the first round of the game, he must and can only choose to strengthen his offense.

Defense does not conform to Van Basten's football philosophy, nor does it meet the team building requirements of Ajax, a century-old giant. More importantly, compared to defense, no team dares to pat its chest and say that it can beat It has long been the consensus in the football world to win the Italian team. Van Basten, who has played for AC Milan for many years, has no doubts about this.

And his previous series of preparations also verified this point: the two frontcourt attackers Suarez and Emmanuelsen only played halftime in the third round of the league, not only stimulating their state, but also their physical fitness. Excessive consumption, they are bound to let Florence, who is a guest, have a good taste of how fierce Ajax's offensive is.

In order to encourage more fans to enter the stadium on match days, create momentum for the team, and put pressure on opponent players together, the Ajax club has sent a large number of staff into the community to call on fans to take action.

Their slogan is "Ajax needs your voice".

But... not only did the tickets for this game not decrease, but it increased slightly...

But the club's various initiatives have indeed paid off. When August 8 came, the Amsterdam Arena, which can accommodate 18 people, was packed with enthusiastic fans for the first time.

Everyone is expecting Ajax to play a mercury-laden offensive football at home. When Van Basten was interviewed before the game, he couldn't help but let go of his proud attitude and looked forward to the team's prospects happily:
"Yes, the team's performance since the new season is quite good. The league has won three consecutive victories, and it has achieved a hearty victory in the contest with Eindhoven. The third qualifying round of the Champions League was even eliminated Sporting Lisbon, the team has been on the right path.

Our forward line is also sharp, especially Luis Suarez, who has scored [-] goals on all fronts. This achievement is unmatched by anyone in Europe. He is already the world's top striker.

Yes, I know that Fiorentina will definitely pay attention to him, but I am not afraid. As a top striker, you must get used to such things. I also firmly believe that Suarez can become a key weapon to destroy Viola.

I have played in Milan for a long time, although it has been more than ten years, but I have been following Italian football, I know them, I believe that Ajax's attacking football can knock down their iron walls..."

Since he is going to play offensive football, then... the midfielder Long Shute, who has not yet developed much offensive ability, is of course not of much use.

In addition, Long Shute had just suffered a serious injury in the league—at least they thought so—so he was naturally placed on the bench by the coaching staff.

Van Basten drove the battleship Ajax in his mind and rushed towards the guests with the Viola logo.

But this guest... suddenly turned into a piece of iron!
This purple lily... wants to blow the head and blood out of its hospitable host!
