Chapter 136 Playing as a striker for the first time in his career!

After the national team's match, Chen Fan didn't have much time to rest, and he was about to join the Eredivisie in full swing.

Ajax has won six consecutive victories, closely following Twente and Alkmaar in points, only two points away from second-ranked Twente, and six points away from top-ranked Alkmaar.

This point difference is no longer out of reach, as long as they can continue to maintain their form, they will be able to catch up strongly.

The atmosphere in Amsterdam is warm, and Ajax is united like never before. They are going to create a miracle - from ranking sixth to finally winning the championship against the trend!

On April [-]th, the Eredivisie will rekindle the war. Ajax will go away to challenge Roda JC, which is deep in the relegation zone. The second-ranked Twente will play away against Nijmegen, who is in danger of relegation, and Alkmaar will play against Den Haag, which is on the edge of the relegation zone.

In other words, the top three teams have similar opponents in this game, they are all teams in the relegation zone, and they all have a great chance to take all three points.

The only unstable factor is that all three teams have players who participated in the two World Cup qualifiers that just ended. If they play, they may have problems due to physical reasons.

Twente was the first to make his debut, and the coach Rene sent all three national team players on the field, but the three players were in a sluggish state.

In addition, Nijmegen, who played at home, was extremely tenacious. After falling behind by one goal, they evened the score in the No. 307 minute of the second half!

In the end, Twente had no choice but to draw with Nijmegen one to one away!

This news made Alkmaar breathe a sigh of relief, and the pressure on his body dropped sharply, which made Ajax excited. As long as they can win, they can tie Twente!

The Dutch media have said that this is the background problem. Twente's bench is not deep enough. Coach Rene did not let the three players who participated in the national team game rest, and suffered a bitter fruit.

The media in Amsterdam called on Basten to put several national team players on the bench and give them time to rest.

Basten smiled wryly. If all the players who participated in the World Cup qualifiers were allowed to rest, then half of Ajax's main lineup would be absent. Obviously, this is something he cannot bear.

Twente suffers from insufficient bench depth, while Ajax suffers from too many national team players...

Suarez, who came back from South America, entered the injury list. He injured his thigh in the game against Paraguay. After the diagnosis of the team doctor, he needs to rest for four weeks!
The Uruguayan's injury has had a great impact on Ajax's offensive power. Recently, the Uruguayan has scored consecutive goals in the Eredivisie and is in good shape.

Although Basten feels very sorry about this, he also knows that this is a normal situation. Who can keep his players healthy?
Some Amsterdam media called for Chen Fan to replace Suarez and play as a striker. This is what they have always wanted to see.

Of course, they also have doubts. After all, Chen Fan has just played two high-intensity national team matches as the main force, and he is physically and mentally exhausted.

So they thought that Basten should use Chen Fan cautiously, and the best way is to let him come off the bench instead of playing the whole game.

The Ajax fans shook their heads. The media were talking about everything. Chen Gai had just found a new position as a midfielder, and now he was asked to play in an unfamiliar position?

You people are indefatigable...

One night before the game, Basten found Chen Fan, and the two communicated in the room for two full hours. Finally, Chen Fan left Basten's room with a hint of excitement.

At [-] pm on April [-]th, the match between Alkmaar and Den Haag started on time at the DSB Stadium. Van Gaal put four national team players on the bench.

But Alkmaar's strength was not affected too much. Amidst the tsunami-like shouts of the home fans, they launched a fierce attack on The Hague and scored the opponent's goal in the 9th minute of the opening!

This goal boosted the morale of Alkmaar, and they pursued the victory. They scored three consecutive autumns in No. 304 minutes of the first half, No. 17 minutes and No. 204 minutes of the second half, securing the victory.

In the 307th minute of the second half, Den Haag scored a face-saving goal. In the end, Alkmaar beat Den Haag [-]-[-] at home, consolidating its top position.

At 07:30 on the evening of April [-]th, at the Limburg Park Stadium, Ajax's away game against Roda JC officially started.

Everyone found that Chen Fan not only appeared in the starting lineup, but also stood in the forward position!

He took Suarez's place!
This is the first time Chen Fan has played as a forward as a professional player!

This made the Amsterdam media mixed. Before the game, they predicted that Chen Fan might play as a striker, but... Basten, you should have your own judgment. If Chen doesn't perform well in this game, aren't you trying to ruin this young man?

Now is definitely not the best opportunity for Chen Gai to play as a striker!
Reporters from the Alkmaar region, the Rotterdam region, and the Eindhoven region laughed in their hearts—didn’t you say that Twente’s background is not enough?

Your background in Ajax is indeed enough, Siares is injured, you let Chen Lai take his place, is this your background?

Or is Basten already stretched?
Score six games in a row, Chen, your scoring streak ends here!
After the start of the game, Ajax reversed the previous strategy of opening the game firmly, but fought fiercely with the opponent in the midfield. Basten got the inspiration from Alkmaar's game that ended in the afternoon-if you can score as soon as possible, you can open the situation.

In Basten's plan, if they can score a goal shortly after the opening, then Ajax will take advantage of the victory and pursue it. If they can't score a goal, they will switch to a steady defense and slowly look for opportunities to attack.

Chen Fan looked very positive, this was his first time playing as a striker since he became a professional player!

In the opening No. 20 eight seconds, Shu Jieda made a diagonal pass, and Chen Fan got rid of the opponent's right back like lightning and ran along the sideline.The opponent's right back did not give up and chased closely.

Five steps later, Chen Fan caught up with the football. With a push on the football with the inside of his left foot, his body followed the football diagonally towards the opponent's penalty area!
"Chen's speed... makes people speechless!"

Some reporters began to sigh.

Rhoda JC's right center back rushed forward, Chen Fan lightly buckled the inside of his left foot, followed closely by Rhoda JC's right back, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his right foot towards the football!

In the virtual space recently, Chen Fan practiced his breakthrough skills hard, and his breakthrough skills are improving rapidly.

Even if the situation is critical at this moment, he did not activate the system's intermediate breakthrough mode, but chose to use his own technology to complete the breakthrough.

Chen Fan's right foot suddenly accelerated, and he dunked the football!
After two dunks in a row, Chen Fan charged through the gap between the opponent's right rear and right center rear, and Luo Da JC's left central defender quickly stepped forward to block it!
Chen Fan was unwilling to give up the shot opportunity he had worked so hard to create, so he raised his right leg and swung towards the football at a faster speed!

"Snapped!……"

The football left Chen Fan's right instep!

The two central defenders of Rhoda and JC fell to the ground almost at the same time. They wanted to use their feet to form a wall to block the football.
