Chapter 116 Selected for the Dutch team!

Due to Feyenoord's tenacious away draw with the leader Alkmaar, Truett and Ajax took the opportunity to narrow the gap with the leader Alkmaar, and the hopes of the two teams competing for the championship have greatly increased.

Van Gaal said in the post-match press conference: "We will not make mistakes like tonight in the future. We failed to take all three points at home. The responsibility is on me. I failed to control the emotions of the players.

But I want to tell you a fact, now we are still the leader, our lead is still [-] points, we are still the most powerful contender for the championship! "

Van Gaal said forcefully: "I will not give them any hope. What I want to do is to make them despair and let them know that all they can earn is No.2!"

Basten said at the post-match press conference: "Recently, our team has been on the right track, and the team has won six consecutive victories, narrowing the distance with the previous two teams. This is a common victory for the team, and it is a reward for our hard work.

The gap of six points is not very big, we have the opportunity to catch up, and we also have the opportunity to surpass!

For four years, Amsterdam needs this trophy, Ajax needs this trophy, fans need this trophy, players need this trophy!
I need this trophy too! "

In the context of the team's continuous victories and narrowing the gap with AZ Alkmaar, Basten opened up to the media for the first time and sounded the charge for the championship.

"The excellent performance of the players on the field has won the respect of the fans again. More than 1 players came from afar to cheer for us tonight, making us feel like we are playing at home!"

"It can be said that half of the credit for our victory comes from the fans!"

Basten knew that the further back, the more the team needed the support of the fans, the loud shouts from the stands.The shouts of the fans can give players endless motivation and allow them to go through the most difficult stages of the game.

In fact, in a sense, players play football for the fans. Without the support of fans, if they don’t go to the stadium to watch the game or buy players’ jerseys and other peripheral products, the club cannot survive at all.

This is also an important reason why small clubs are struggling to survive. Their number of fans cannot be compared with that of big clubs, and their income is relatively much less.

Even many small clubs are heavily in debt and operate in debt.

Maybe at some point, the club will go bankrupt because of too much debt.

Germany is undoubtedly a model in this regard. They basically achieve fairness in the distribution of TV broadcasts, allowing those small clubs to have room to survive.

However, the Premier League, which is the best run in the world, and La Liga, which gathers a large number of superstars, are unfair in terms of the distribution of broadcast fees.

Modern professional football has entered the Golden Yuan era. If you want to keep those capable players, the club must give him a high salary. Obviously, many clubs cannot satisfy this point, so the players will play in leagues with higher salaries.

The population of the Netherlands is small, and the number of fans is relatively limited. The Eredivisie's overseas market development has not progressed, and the income cannot be compared with other European giants.

Therefore, stabilizing the inherent fans is an important task for every Dutch club.

"Thanks to them, I hope they will continue to give us endless courage and endless strength to fight against powerful opponents in the future!"

When Ajax fans heard Basten's words, they shouted such a slogan: "Let us go to the championship with Ajax, we have no regrets in winning or losing!"

This slogan touched many people.

……

Back in Amsterdam, Chen Fan was both looking forward to and nervous. The fourth round of the World Cup qualifiers was about to start, and Van Marwijk was about to announce the list for the match against Ireland.

Chen Fan believes that his past few games must have left a deep memory on Van Marwijk.Even if a striker scores consecutive goals in six games, he can be described as "hot", not to mention he is not a striker.

He has great confidence to enter the Dutch national team to participate in the game against Ireland.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on March 23, the official website of the Dutch Football Association announced the list of the national team. Chen Fan and the recovering Van der Wiel were selected at the same time!
Chen Fan learned that he didn't read the news on the official website, but received a call from the club at [-]:[-] noon, asking him to report to the Holiday Inn the next morning!

Chen Fan told his mother and good friend Fang Jinyu the good news immediately.

With wet eyes, the mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, patted her son on the shoulder, and walked into her room.Chen Fan knew that this was because his mother needed an independent space to relive this beautiful mood.

So he went back to his room and called Fang Jinyu.

"Good job! Fanzi, I knew you would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Dutch team!"

My friend Fang Jinyu said excitedly: "Fanzi, now is an important moment. You must not only strive to play the game, but also strive to start!"

Starting the game generally proves that this player is the main force of the team, which means that it is important and proves your status in this team.

Excited Chen Fan nodded and said, "Okay! I'll fight for the starting lineup!"

When the news on the official website came out, the teammates of the Athletic Goal team called one after another to congratulate him and encourage him to perform well in training and strive to play in the game.

Fang Jinyu's arrogance was manifested at this time. He hoped that Chen Fan would start the game, while the teammates of the Athletic Goal team hoped that Chen Fan would be fine as long as he could play.

……

The media didn't have much opinion on this list, even if a newcomer like Chen Fan entered the list, they didn't have any opinion. This was very different from Chen Fan's entry into the Dutch training team last month.

At that time, the media questioned Van Marwijk's selection criteria. After all, Chen Fan was not well-known at that time, and he was still a player in the Dutch second division. He had never set foot in the Dutch first division.

But more than a month has passed, Chen Fan has played six games in the Eredivisie, scoring an astonishing eight goals and sending out six assists. This is a beautiful report card.

Even those supporters of Michels can't say anything under this list.

What the media is interested in is whether Chen Fan will play in the game against Ireland?

Is it a starting game, or a substitute?

Playing right back, or right forward?
As for the first question, the reporters felt that Chen Fan had a good chance of playing, and he had half the chance to start.

But when it came to the position, the reporters were divided into two groups. The dominant group believed that Chen Fan should play right back. After all, he was familiar with this position and performed very well in the Eredivisie.

"Chen can give full play to his own characteristics in this position. He can use his speed advantage in offense, and he can show his stealing ability in defense. Van Marwijk pays great attention to defense, so Chen is most likely to play in this position!"

The reason for the weak side is: "Since Van der Weil has recovered, he should be allowed to play, so that Chen Fan can be liberated and he can have more opportunities to participate in the offense."

The two factions are arguing.
