123. The virtuous do not avoid relatives
The goal came in the 74th minute of the game when Ajax equalised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The goal at this point in time was undoubtedly crucial:
70-75 minutes is usually the tipping point for players' fitness, especially Ajax, who have one less man to play, and if they continue to stalemate, it may be difficult for them to continue to maintain such a high-intensity full-court pressing.
But now that the two sides are back on the starting line, the Ajax players can finally take a breather and give their feet a few seconds of rest.
'If Van Basten thinks an equaliser will give him a sigh of relief, he's nowhere near it!'
Commentator De Kul put his head on the shelf again after the shock he had just experienced, and criticized the Ajax manager without changing his face and heartbeat:
"They have one less person to play, the physical consumption is much greater than the opponent, and Enno's injury has used up a substitution early, so they don't have much choice even if they want to adjust. If the game goes to extra time, I can guarantee that Ajax will crash! ”
How could Van Basten not understand this?
But what can he do?
He's desperate too......
He can only hope that his players can seize the last ten minutes to score another goal, and if it is really as Dekul said, the game will drag on to extra time, which will be an absolute disaster for the already physical Ajax - you know, there are almost no national team players in the Twente team, and if there are one or two, they are fringe players of fringe teams......
What to do?
He still has the last substitution in his hand, but he doesn't know who to send on the field, and on the bench are second goalkeeper Vermeer, 5 million new signing Hamdawi, substitute defender Blind Jr., Vertonghen who is slightly injured, and Eriksson, a young player who has just been promoted from the youth team.
Who can I swap for?
Who can help him recover his slump like he did a season ago?
Van Basten's eyes swept over the five players on the bench one by one, but ...... He wasn't sure.
"Dennis......" he moved his lips, but his voice was a little dry, "let them all warm up......"
Bergkamp are equally anxious, as an assistant he should have made a suggestion to the manager, but he could only carry out such vague orders as Van Basten.
Vermeer and the others had just run two steps when they heard a whistle from the field.
Two players from FC Twente and Ajax fell to the ground at the same time in a scramble!
Ajax's side fell ...... It was Lindgren, who replaced Enno in the 5th minute, who struggled to get up from the ground and complain to the referee about the reckless foul, but as soon as his feet moved, he was knocked down by a sudden twitch!
He's cramping!
-
"Ahh......h
Deckur let out a gloating exclamation:
"Look, I'm right, the Ajax players are on the verge of being fit, Lindgren is just the first, and soon there will be a second or third...... It's impossible to get them to play until 90 minutes and then play 30 minutes of extra time. ”
Even Janssen, who has always thought that the partner was not objective enough, could not refute it at this time: "Van Basten should really think about solving the problem in regular time, otherwise the situation will only be more difficult for them." ”
-
The cramped Lindgren has been playing as a left wing-back during this period, while Eriksen and Blind on the bench can also play, and Hamdawi may also consider it in front of him, and if he wants to make a substitution, he will only have to choose between these three.
"I'm sorry......" Lindgren tried to exert his strength, but finally couldn't hold on, and he shook his head helplessly at Longshut, who was helping him stretch his legs.
Although he came off the bench, he only played five minutes less than the other starters, almost the equivalent of playing the first 70 minutes, and his departure made everyone's hearts sink.
Van Basten saw all of this in his eyes, and Lindgren was quite desperate in his playing time, so his energy was depleted very quickly......
As a manager, he can only accept the status quo and make adjustments as soon as possible.
Then the question came to him again:
Who should I replace?
"Coach......" A familiar voice sounded in his ears.
Van Basten was taken aback: Ronshit, who had been on the field a few seconds ago to press Lindgren's legs, was now in front of him.
"Let Daley play," his henchman leaned into his ear, "he's more familiar with our tactics and he's more familiar with me." ”
As a time-traveler over 20 years old, he certainly knew that doing so might make the manager feel that his authority was being challenged, but he didn't have time to think about how to express his opinion tactfully.
Because his relationship with Van Basten is deep enough, he is a player that Van Basten has personally promoted and focused on developing, and his many performances to turn the tide have also proved his loyalty to the Bole, and a suggestion is not enough to make Van Basten suspect that the disciple wants to shake his dressing room status.
Of course, with Van Basten's influence in Dutch football, even if Lonshette wants to raise his arms and rebel as a ball bully, no teammate will respond to him, and he will only be kicked out by Ajax FC......
"Daley?" Van Basten didn't bother to think about whether his beloved wanted to rebel, and his attention was all on Blind.
Blind is more of a right-wing-back, with solid fundamentals and decent defensive ability, but he also has a decent level of long balls......
Long passes?
Van Basten's eyes lit up, and he immediately beckoned to Blind: "Get ready to play, boy!" ”
Blind looked at Long Shute, who was standing next to the head coach, and took off his substitute vest.
"It's a shame, but there's only 15 minutes left for you to perform," Ryushute looked at him with a smile, "We're going to settle the battle in 15 minutes!" ”
Although he didn't know where the roommate's confidence came from, Blind was still a little worried...... Suddenly there was silence.
-
"Aha, Long Shute came to the sidelines, can't he do it too?"
De Kul saw the Chinese youngster talking to Van Basten on the sidelines at a glance, and his eyebrows suddenly danced:
'Lonshette's importance to Ajax is self-evident and without his full pitch, Ajax would not have equalised. Now that even his fitness is in question, we can probably say that ......"
His assertion was interrupted by Janssen in time: "Van Basten made one last substitution, Lindgren really couldn't hold on......"
"Could it be...... Van Basten was just discussing a substitution with Lonshit? Deckur's expression became extremely stunned, "When did the opinion of China No. 8 become so important?" ”
-
With Blind on the pitch, Christian Eriksen and Hamdawi are back on the bench.
The three spots had been used up, and their warm-up activities no longer made any sense.
Although they didn't hear what Ronshette said to Van Basten, they could see from the picture of the two people biting their ears that the two of them must be discussing something.
The 26-year-old Hamdawi's eyes twinkle and drift.
Eighteen-year-old Eriksen also looked thoughtful.
Everyone knows that Lonshette is the absolute henchman of the manager, and without his ability to turn the tide, Ajax's glory last season would definitely be much bleaker.
And Blind and Ronshette have been roommates since the youth team!
This stinky boy...... It turned out to be a relational household, and now it's directly hugging the thighs.
