Green Dragon

Chapter 71
I don't know when it started, a light rain fell in the sky.

The grass has become slippery, and the temperature on the court has dropped significantly.

But for Ajax coach Marco van Basten, none of that matters.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

When the referee blew one short and two long whistles, there were sparse boos from above the Gerland Stadium.

Those were the voices of the home team fans.

Van Basten didn't care about this, he shook hands with Pierre with a smile on his face, then faced the fans in the visiting team stands and cheered.

All Ajax players lined up in a long line in the light rain, and raised their hands to express their gratitude to the fans in the stands who came all the way to the away game to cheer for them.

More than 1000 Ajax fans who traveled with the team to France vigorously shook the red and white scarves in their hands, sang the team song "We all love Ajax", and happily responded to their coach and players .

It's raining?
Is the ground wet?
Cold weather?
Who cares!
It's been four years!
They won their first Champions League victory in four years!
"The game is over!"

He Wei, a CCTV commentator from thousands of miles away, was as excited as the Ajax fans:
"Ajax in the away game defeated the Lyon team with a clean and beautiful [-]-[-]! Facing the fierce offensive firepower of the Red Youth Corps, the Ligue [-] overlord who had won the league championship for seven consecutive years was defeated!"

"The Lyon team was very unlucky today. They lost two generals in a row for half an hour. Pjanic and Lopez went off due to injuries. Tactical deployment, and the two players who came off the bench were obviously afraid of difficulties, and their emotions were also transmitted to other teammates. After 40 minutes, the entire team stopped actively fighting and seeking offensive opportunities, and they almost lost control of the ball. Give it up!"

"The brightest player in this game is of course the Ajax captain Suarez. He scored a goal in the first and second halves, making a good start for this season's Champions League journey, and it is gratifying that the Chinese teenager Long Special is also one of the most outstanding players in the Ajax team." As a Chinese commentator, He Wei must of course focus on praising his compatriots. Fortunately, this little compatriot did not disappoint them today. "It is he who spared no effort The sprinting all over the field put tremendous pressure on Lyon's offensive players, and the injuries of Pjanic and Lopez are also directly related to his active fighting..."

He couldn't help but pause for a moment: Does this sound a bit awkward?
Are you saying that Long Shute is a vicious butcher?

Could it be that Long Shute was responsible for the injuries of those two unlucky ghosts?
Zhang Lu also laughed: "If a defensive player is not vicious at all, it may be difficult to intimidate the opponent. Even Nesta, who is called an elegant defender, is not weak when defending." .Long Shute has initially possessed this temperament, but his experience is far from enough, and he still needs time and competition training."

"Although he is still very young, Long Shute has already shown the temperament of a general. His future should be bright." He Wei changed the topic, "Zhang Zhi, do you think he can enter the national team led by Gao Hongbo now?"

Zhang Lu was taken aback for a moment, and then he said haha: "Hey, this... It still depends on the technical and tactical needs of the national team, hey."
-
"Long Shute? Of course I have been paying attention to him. He has performed quite well in the Eredivisie recently..."

For the first time, the head coach of the national team, Gao Hongbo, answered questions from the media.

Questions about this young player have started to arise since May in the first half of the year.At the end of August, after Long Shute almost single-handedly helped Ajax reverse Fiorentina, these voices reached the highest decibels.

Although the Eredivisie League does not belong to the five most famous leagues, because Zhou Haibin, an international footballer, played for Eindhoven, the domestic media has always maintained a certain degree of attention to them, and there will be follow-up reports in every round of the league— ——It is nothing more than "Eindhoven is fighting so and so, Zhou Haibin has no chance to make the final list", "Eindhoven defeated so and so, Zhou Haibin may usher in an opportunity", "Eindhoven is hard to stop, Zhou Haibin still needs wait"……

When Long Shute was born, the media almost immediately abandoned their compatriots who couldn't even get a second of playing time, and instead surrounded Ajax.

After all, Long Shute has almost secured the position of Ajax's main midfielder, and he also played a full 90 minutes in the Champions League match!

With such a talented young player who plays games smoothly every day, who in the domestic audience would pay attention to an old guy who can't even sit on the bench? !

Of course, Gao Hongbo also paid attention to this hot spot. With his former international level, it can be seen that although Long Shute's strength is not second-rate in European football, but in his national team, he can casually Can play a main force.

And judging from the identity of a local coach of the national team, a young boy with no complicated relationships and backgrounds in the country is of course much easier to manage than those domineering old fritters.

So he suggested to the superiors a month before the national team match day that they could consider calling this little guy back.

At first, no one expressed any objection, but a few days later, Long Shute's name was not on the newly announced training list.

At this time, Gao Hongbo suggested to the leader again, and got a reply that made him not very happy:

"We have seen many cases of hurting Zhongyong. Not everyone who goes abroad to play football can become a talent. Dong Fangzhuo's incident is still vivid!"

The tone of the leader revealed extremely regretful emotions:

"This Long Shute has only played five or six games in Ajax. It can't explain any problems at all. We need to continue to observe."

For this set of official rhetoric, if Gao Hongbo really believed it, he would be sorry for the black mud that he had spent so many years in Chinese football and couldn't wash it off!
So he can only say this to reporters:

"Long Shute has just become a professional player. He is immature in all aspects and lacks experience in coordinating the club and the national team. Putting the burden of the national team on him too early may backfire. And... he is just now Ajax has a chance. If he is too distracted by the national team's game, it will easily backfire. There is no way to take care of both ends, so the national team has not recruited him for the time being.

Of course, I believe that as long as he maintains a positive and optimistic attitude, adheres to high standards and strict requirements, and constantly hones his technical and tactical abilities, with his current strength and potential, the door of the national team will be opened to him sooner or later. I personally look forward to this day very much. "

Look, who said I have low EQ?
What a perfect answer!
