16. Van Basten's countdown to the position

"AZ Alkmaar is the main opponent in Amsterdam!"

The passionate voice of Janssen, the commentator of Dutch TV 2, rang out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"After a cross from the wing, Lens cut in at the back! The edge of the Ajax penalty area is nothing short of an undefended open field! They warmly invite AZ Alkmaar players to come here as they please! ”

Commentator De Kul was unsparing in his criticism of the Ajax players: "Czekie de Jong has a serious hole in his marking, and when Lens is high speed forward, he is still walking slowly around the centre circle!" Didn't he eat at noon?! ”

Of course Sim de Jong ate, and he was a little wronged by this pot.

It's not that he didn't intercept just now, but because he couldn't beat four hands with two fists, and his attention was all attracted by Alkmaar's midfield core, Moussa Dembele, who had no time to pay attention to Lens, a fringe striker who only played two starts, five substitutes, and seven games in a whole season, but did not score a goal!

But it was in this game that Lens scored his first goal of the 2008-2009 season, and maybe the only one, but he did!

Although the goal was neither spectacular nor pretty, and even the top 10 goals of the Eredivisie may not be selected, he was the hero of the whole Alkmaar team at this moment!

Van Basten shook his head helplessly and slammed the mineral water bottle in his hand to the ground.

A third-rate marginal player who has been inactive all season and has a blank statistic has scored such an important goal in such a crucial battle!

Conceding a goal in the 22nd minute after the opening kick-off not only disrupted Van Basten's tactical arrangement, but also put Ajax in absolute passivity.

They can only attack!

Must score!

-

'Ajax were on the offensive after conceding the goal, but they were a bit too disconnected from the front and back and once AZ Alkmaar played on the counter-attack, ......

Before the commentator's voice could be finished, AZ Alkmaar's counterattack was unleashed.

Ajax's full-back Emmanulsen was a bit too sticky, and he stepped on his bike on the flank, but to no avail, not only failed to shake off his defender's Charles, but was quickly poked away by his opponent.

Dembele accelerated in an instant, his pace had already been confirmed in the previous 30 minutes, and it was difficult for Ajax's messy backline to stop him and Lens!

Ckim de Jong slammed into it and stopped the opposition's fast break at the cost of a yellow card.

De Kul sighed: "It is conceivable that if Ajax loses this game and second-placed FC Twente win, the gap between them will widen to seven points, and with only two rounds of the league, it will also announce that they are completely disqualified from competing for next season's Champions League, such a scenario is disastrous for Ajax, and Van Basten is likely to lose his position as a result." ”

Van Basten certainly knows this!

The outcome of this game is not only about who has the stronger coaching ability between him and Van Gaal, but more importantly, it is directly related to his position and face, so he constantly roared at the players on the sidelines, and his cold and arrogant posture was all left behind him.

The Ajax players have definitely not lost their fighting spirit, and those stars who will make a name for themselves in the future are desperately trying to show themselves, but the more aggressive they are, the tougher the opposition will defend! The more lethal the counterattack!

After running in vain for more than 30 minutes up front, Suarez barely had any chance to catch the ball, and he had to keep dropping back into the midfield to get the ball.

But in this way, AZ Alkmaar can set up one defence after another inside and outside the penalty area, completely blocking Suarez outside the box.

The Uruguayan striker is undoubtedly very good, but Van Gaal's team is by no means vegetarian, they have studied Ajax's top scorer very thoroughly, and even everyone knows his weaknesses, so they are consciously or unconsciously tease Suarez's temper in defence.

Suarez has a fiery temper and can sometimes go crazy to even his own opponents, and when he sees AZ Alkmaar's defenders start to provoke him, all the Ajax players, coaches and fans can't help but shudder.

If...... If Suarez is indeed sent off with a red card, there is hardly any suspense about the outcome of this game.

Fortunately, the Uruguayan striker also knows how important he is, and he has been trying to restrain his temper, using this nameless fire to fight and break through, and then he falls to the ground again and again.

His aggressiveness is undeniable, and AZ Alkmaar's team has paid a big price to stop the crazy Suarez.

AZ Alkmaar's Charles and De Conioli both received yellow cards for excessive action in defence over the course of 45 minutes of the first half, and this time he managed to dribble the ball into the vicinity of the box.

And then...... Under the push of the opposing defender, he fell to the ground again, and then rolled three or four times in a row, almost like rolling straight into the goal.

Long Shute on the sidelines couldn't help but even cover his eyes.

Suarez, this guy, didn't have an outburst, but he went to the other extreme......

"Aha," Janssen let out a distinct laugh, "the Uruguayan performed an unsuccessful fake fall!" I'm sure he must have been self-taught on the streets of his hometown! ”

Suarez, who fell on the line of the penalty area, did not think his performance was too pompous, he sat on the turf and spread his hands towards the referee, looking aggrieved.

However, the referee didn't look at him, just shook his finger and signaled for the game to continue.

Suarez could only spit in indignation and got up alone.

-

"At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-1, and the more experienced Louis van Gaal was one goal ahead of Van Basten on the road," Janssen said in a pleasant tone, and it seemed that he didn't like Van Basten as a coach either, "Maybe...... The countdown to Van Basten's Ajax career has begun. ”

'We saw a couple of Ajax substitutes come out of the dressing room early and start warming up, so maybe Van Basten is ready to make changes in midfield.' De Kul has some sympathy for the poor Dutchman and "hopes that his substitutions will have some positive effect......"

Long Shute, who was warming up, shook his head secretly.

As in history, Van Basten replaced the sloppy defender Alleger and Emmanulsen after the break, and put forward striker Soleimani and defender Vertonghen after the break, switching from 442 to the more attacking 433.

But football is never a simple line-up, and having an extra striker doesn't mean they're more aggressive.

You know, AZ Alkmaar's lineup is a 451 who values the midfield!

The Ajax midfielder, who lacked enough control, completely lost the ability to compete with the opponent!

AZ Alkmaar defensively tougher and their counter-attacks sharper!

Sim de Jong and his team-mates will have to make more dangerous moves to stop Dembele and Lens, but he has already been saddled with a yellow card!

Just five minutes into the second half, Van Basten realised that he had made a big mistake with his substitutions.

He turned to his bench to pick the player who could change the game.

But most of the players have confusion written on their faces and see little hope.

There is only one exception.

The little guy didn't seem to have any worries or fears, and his eyes sparkled with determination.

Van Basten took a deep breath.

He only had one last substitution.

He knew that his next decision would definitely break everyone's glasses.

He wants to put his position on a Chinese who has never played in a first-team game.

He gambled!
