Green Dragon

Chapter 21
Oh, by the way, the status of the contract was changed last night, rich bosses can give me rewards! -
The reason why Ajax collapsed in the 33rd round was that apart from the disastrous defeat, there was another important reason.

They lost two generals in this game!

The main striker, Luis Suarez, who scored 21 goals in the league, accumulated yellow cards and missed the last game!
The main defender Oleg Presas, who can play in the middle and right, received a red card directly in the game and was also suspended!
The absence of the two generals, one in front and one in the back, weakened Ajax's offensive and defensive capabilities at the same time!

Therefore, when Van Basten announced the roster and starting lineup in front of everyone after the last training session, many people were not surprised that Long Shute was selected. .

The faces of the main defenders Vermaelen and Van der Wiel showed a slight sense of relief.

Everyone knows that this last league game is bound to be a fierce battle, and the absence of Oleg Presas has already stretched the defense force. The young player Alderweire, who only started once this season and substituted three times Elder had to rush the ducks to the shelves. If a midfielder who is good at defense is not arranged in the midfield position, then they can only be sieved again in this game.

But if too much emphasis is placed on defense, it will inevitably be affected on the offensive end, because they can only hope to win this game.

Cameroon player Iyengar Enno, who has played 18 times this season, deserves a position due to his good performance on both ends of the offense and defense.

In another competition for the midfield position, Vunong Anita, who is 166 in height and 63 in weight, was completely suppressed by Long Shute. Maybe his offensive ability is stronger, but his physique is almost useless for defensive players. Ineffectiveness, combined with a lackluster performance all season, he undisputedly loses this competition.

As for Sime De Jong, another rotation midfielder, he sat on the bench because he was young and not stable enough.

Long Shute, who is younger than him, is about to usher in the first team start in his life.

2009年5月10日，中国时间傍晚08:30。

It was supposed to be prime time for watching TV dramas, but the Guangdong Economic Channel was broadcasting a football match.

"Okay, viewers, welcome to Guangdong Economic Channel's exclusive live broadcast of the No. 30 fourth round of the Dutch First Division. This is also the final match of the season. Ajax, who ranks third in the league, is at home. Against second-placed Twente."

Compared with the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, and Bundesliga, the Eredivisie is only a fringe league. Most of the teams are not well-known in the country. Therefore, TV stations will only selectively select Ajax, Eindhoven, Feyenoord's three traditional strong teams are broadcast live, even though the ratings are pitifully low.

But on this night, there was a small fluctuation in the ratings arc.

If you are an old audience, you will find that today's commentator seems to be different from the previous lifeless state, just listen to the commentator introduce the situation of both sides in Cantonese:

"The point difference between the two teams is only two points. Whoever wins the last game will get the tickets to the UEFA Champions League next season. Therefore, both the home team and the visiting team will definitely do their best. As you can imagine, This is definitely an exciting and exciting decisive battle!"

"That's right," the guest nodded, "Ajax is behind by two points, but they are playing at home, so they unsurprisingly formed an offensive lineup, but...they specially arranged a defensive lineup." Midfielder, which is rare for Van Basten..."

"Haha, it seems that after coaching the Dutch team, this proud Dutch star now knows how to change his style of play." The commentator smiled, "Besides, the biggest highlight of this game is undoubtedly The appearance of Long Shute, this young player from China came off the bench for the first time in the 32nd round and played well. However, in the last round of the league, he was affected by the overall downturn of the team and failed to perform at his best... ..."

As a compatriot, the commentator still supported him very much, and he was not beaten to death with a stick...

"Being able to start the game in the final game at least shows that he has won the trust of coach Van Basten. I hope he will overcome his nervousness, work hard to play his own level, and bring us a wonderful performance! "
-
This is Long Shute's first start for the first team.

Compared with the youth team's game, the opening ceremony is no different, except that the audience in the stands is overcrowded, and the sound of the whole stadium is even more noisy.

By the way, there are caddies.

Long Shute led a boy who was only five or six years younger than himself, and followed his teammates slowly out of the crowded player tunnel.

At the end of the passage, his vision suddenly widened.

The sky is blue, but the clouds are high. The fans in the stands are like a blazing red flame, but the turf of the game is verdant.

The entire stadium seemed to be under his control.

Players from both sides shook hands, lined up for a group photo, captains of the two teams exchanged flags, guessed coins...

As the captain of the team, central defender Vermaelen came to the referee on behalf of Ajax, and he lived up to expectations and won the kick-off.

In this Ajax starting lineup, the oldest goalkeeper Stekelenburg was only born in 1982, and he is less than 27 years old...

Most of the other players are only 21 or 19 years old, and Long Shute, who is about to turn [-], will not appear particularly abrupt among this group of young people.

This may reflect the embarrassing situation of the Eredivisie clubs from one aspect.
-
"drop!"

The referee's whistle echoed over the Amsterdam Arena.

The final round of the 2008-2009 season Dutch League One officially started.

Ajax coach Marco van Basten sat on the bench with a seemingly natural demeanor, but under his crisp suit, hot sweat was already slowly seeping through the pores.

In the history that he didn't know, because he lost the qualification to compete for the Champions League tickets in advance, he had been fired by the Ajax club a day ago, and he had no chance to coach the team to participate in the final round of life and death battle... …

On the visiting team's bench not far away, Twente coach Steven McLaren was equally nervous.

As the Cantonese commentator analyzed, Ajax sits at home, of course they have to play a big offensive, the sooner they can score goals, the more secure they will be...

But Twente is not a fool, and McLaren is not an idiot!
In order to score goals as soon as possible, Ajax's midfield will definitely attack continuously, so there must be gaps between their lineups. As long as they can seize the gaps, Twente's players will have the ability to attack the defense. Opportunity!

Everyone knows that Ajax's defense is improvised. The substitute defender has only played soy sauce a few times this season. As long as Twente can launch a threatening counterattack or two, their young and fragile defense will definitely It will fall apart!

So, the last game of the season begins!
