85. Winter is coming
Time flies by in a dense schedule. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On 22 November, Ajax swept Heerenveen 5-1 at home.
On the 24th, they had no time to rest and ushered in the fifth game of the Champions League group stage, and Van Basten had to send a rotating lineup due to the close interval.
That's the benefit of qualifying early, they don't have to be too win-loser, and they can use the remaining two games as practice matches for substitutes, so that the main squad can get a proper rest.
Ronjut, who shouted that he was fit fine, was still left out of the starting line-up, and he could only sit in the stands with Suarez and watch as Sim de Jong, who replaced him, was tricked by Pjanic of Lyon's delicate footwork......
The final score was fixed at 0-1, with the main players Lyon getting the points they wanted, while Ajax got the rest time, and the two teams were tied on 12 points after five games to qualify from this group of death!
As for the original group favorites and five-time Champions League giants, the Red Army Liverpool, only got two wins against the fish belly team Debreson, and they can only participate in the Europa League as the third in the group......
Five days later, on the 29th, Ajax went away and beat Tevez 3-1.
While Van Basten's side won back-to-back league games, FC Twente also won back-to-back games to lead the table by one point.
Under the leadership of head coach McLaren, Twente is holding back a resentment from top to bottom, they want revenge on Van Basten and Ajax!
As for last season's league winners, AZ Alkmaar ...... Their meritorious coach Louis van Gaal was hired by the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich after winning the championship, and the team's results immediately showed a huge decline, and after 15 league games, they could only barely rank sixth in the standings, with a difference of 16 points from Twente at the top of the table; In the Champions League, it was even more miserable, with only 3 points from 3 draws and 2 losses in 5 games, not only did it not have the possibility of advancing to the knockout round, but it was difficult to keep the third place in the group......
Everyone understands that the 2009-2010 Eredivisie title will only be won by two teams: FC Twente and Ajax!
Everyone else just needs to fight for third place in the league!

"It's December......"
Long Shute exhaled a breath that stirred up a cloud of white mist.
Winter in the Netherlands is longer than in southern Europe, and in December, the days are shortened rapidly and the temperature is significantly lowered, but compared to the desert river of Heilongjiang, which he grew up in...... Sorry, it's spring.
Take a look at today's temperatures in Amsterdam: cloudy with light rain, highs of 11 degrees and lows of ...... 7 degrees.
"Hey, little one, are you sure you don't have to wear something thicker?"
Old Sam, Ajax's equipment administrator, frowned.
The 19-year-old was starting to warm up with only a pair of short-sleeved shorts, while Sam, who was in his fifties, was already wearing a fluffy and warm winter down jacket......
"As for it?"
Long Shute waved his fist unconcernedly, and continued to sit intently stretching his limbs.
Bergkamp has repeatedly stressed to himself that if he wants to learn his chic and elegant movements, he must ensure the flexibility of his body, and if Longshut will strain the muscles of his thigh even the simplest stop and turn around, then he should not learn it......
In order to make a good impression on this new teacher, Long Shute, who was already very serious about warming up, is now even more serious.
Then he heard Bergkamp's voice:
"Hey, little one, are you sure you don't have to wear something thicker?"
As soon as Longshut looked up, Bergkamp, who was just forty years old, was wearing the same down jacket as Old Sam in his fifties, wrapping his muscular figure tightly.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes:
"Aren't you the Ice Prince? Why are you so afraid of the cold? ”

"Winter is already here, there is a lot of rain and snow in Amsterdam, and the course is even more slippery. As a manager, I think it is my duty to remind you that you should take care of yourself, whether it's training or games, as well as in your daily life......"
Van Basten also made a few special points to the players before the day's training session, and then he glanced at the only player in the team wearing thin short sleeves and frowned slightly:
"Hey, little one, are you sure you don't have to wear something thicker?"
The corners of Long Shute's eyes hurt so much, he couldn't roll his eyes anymore!
At least 10 people say that about themselves today!
My hometown, Damohe...... It's at least minus 20 degrees now!
How could I be afraid of the cold?!
-
Of course, Long Shute is not afraid of the cold, but that doesn't mean that others are not afraid.
Romedahl and Lindgren are both from Denmark, Sweden and other Nordic countries, and this bit of wind and rain is nothing to them.
But Suarez, Silva, Atuba and Aino, the likes of South America and Africa, can't.
For example, their captain Suarez, Bucktooth Su's feet seem to be frozen by the bitter cold of winter, and the omnipotent state at the beginning of the season has completely disappeared, but it is Serbian striker Pantrić who has just joined the team to score one after another.
Seeing the expressions of "frozen to death and the temperature is only 10 degrees" on the faces of these teammates in the southern hemisphere, Long Shute, who had received two years of youth training in England, simply didn't want to admit that he knew them!
But no one can help it, they have long been accustomed to warm weather, and such a wet and cold winter is simply hell for them!
Despite repeated reminders from the coaching team, the guys who are afraid of the cold still cower and can't be 100% committed on the training ground.
And the consequence of these people being lazy is that they do not warm up enough and do not move properly...... And then it hurts.
The Ajax team, which has been largely healthy for more than four months, suddenly and inexplicably experienced some injuries after entering December.
First of all, the captain who has been running around in the northern and southern hemispheres for a long time, Suarez was overwhelmed by exhaustion and unfortunately switched to the flu, and then his Uruguayan compatriot Silva also fell ill, in order to prevent the disease from spreading, the two unlucky guys had to go home to recuperate for ten days on the orders of the team doctor to see the results.
I don't know if it's really spreading, Chim de Jong, Emmanuelsen, and Blinder in the Netherlands have also fallen ill one after another, and the symptoms are all colds!
Cameroon's Atoba and Aino both slipped and sprained their muscles during a training match and had to go home together to rest, causing the Cameroon national team to call Ajax to ask if the injuries of the two players would affect the upcoming 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.
At this time, Van Basten was finally dumbfounded.
Ajax's wounded barracks were overcrowded in just a few days, with half of the squad lying in hospital beds!
He is also ready to overtake Twente in one breath after the Champions League group stage!
Now let me go to the hospital to play mahjong?
God!
How can I, Marco Van Basten, be so miserable!
