41. Ajax's ban
8 August 2009. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sky over the Amsterdam Arena was once again thunderous.
The singing of "Ajax I love you" once again resounded throughout the stadium.
Amid the cheers of more than 40,000 fans, the black-haired player in the red shirt was celebrating in the corner flag area.
Behind him were ten equally young and energetic teammates, each with the joy of victory on their faces.
Behind the eleven players, an electronic screen in the corner of the stadium shows the time and score.
90+1 minutes, stoppage time, 4:1.
The home team Ajax is in front and the away team Waalwijk is in the back.
Van Basten in the coach's box had a calm expression of "as it should be", his smile was full of confidence, but with a hint of victorious pride and reserve.
Not far away, Waalwijk coach Luther Bruud didn't even have the unwillingness and struggle after falling behind, he just sighed helplessly, took two steps forward, stretched out his right hand towards Van Basten, and shook his head with a wry smile:
"I'm losing to you, Marko."
Although he knew that his opponents could not match him in Dutch football, Van Basten also maintained his demeanor, extending his right hand to shake his opponent's opponent and then politely comforting him.
Before his voice could reach Brude's ears, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
"Drop! Drip! Drip! ”
"Ajax won this league game without blood, congratulations to Van Basten!"
Dutch TV guest Storm Janssen exclaimed:
With only three days to go until the third qualifying round of the Champions League, and the players have not yet fully recovered, Van Basten has decisively adopted a massive rotation line-up, with only Soleimani the only one in the starting 11 who has started in the previous game. This adjustment is undoubtedly very scientific, the main players are given plenty of rest, and the substitutes are also given the opportunity to show their ability......"
"Your comment is too one-sided, Storm," commentator Hans Kuddle sneered, "and this game proves only one thing...... If you really rely on these substitutes, Ajax may not even be able to solve the problem smoothly with a promoted horse like Waalwijk! Until the 60th minute, they were still unable to break through the opponent's goal, and instead the opponent took advantage of the counter-attack opportunity to score a goal, which caused Suarez, who should have been rested, to put on the ......"
Kudel wasn't quite tactful, but it was a true reflection of the game: perhaps due to a lack of understanding, the substitutes were more enthusiastic than thoughtful for the most part, and they were able to play three times as many attacking opportunities against a weaker team like Waalwijk who had just been promoted from the second division, but they were never able to pose a real threat.
When Waalwijk broke the deadlock in the second half, Van Basten could no longer pretend to be calm, and sent in succession three big men up front, Snow, Suarez and Isati.
The change did have an immediate effect, with Suarez scoring a hat-trick with just 20 minutes of headbutt kicking, helping the team to two consecutive league wins in the new season, and keeping Van Basten's rotation from dying halfway through the first phase.
If you just look at the results, Ajax not only scored all three points, but also rested most of the main players, and trained the bench players, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
But magnifying the background of all this, a traditional giant like Ajax can't get an advantage in the face of a promoted horse with an unknown nationality with a semi-main lineup...... Such a reality may make some long-time fans feel sad.
-
But the saddest thing was not the fans, but the Lonshit, who watched the 90 minutes of the game from the stands.
The game...... He didn't make the squad.
The reason is simple...... Assistant coaches Van Ckip and Witzger, strength and conditioning coach Bertrand and team doctor Van Tanger unanimously decided that he was physically and mentally unfit to play!
In other words, the training mad demon dragon that trains himself every day...... Suffered an intra-team ban!
As a representative of the coaching team, Vanckip warned him unceremoniously: "If you ignore the training plan we have set for you, still do not value your body and give yourself unlimited extra training, Ajax will not mind disqualifying you from official competitions at all levels." ”
Doctor Van Downard didn't forget to add: "Don't try to train secretly from us, your body won't help you hide it." ”
Even coach Van Basten viciously dropped a sentence: "A player who doesn't know how to cherish his body, even if he is a once-in-a-century genius, I won't reuse it!" ”
The embattled and isolated Chinese teenager immediately confessed, and the original plan to practice 10,000 shots in a week was cancelled directly, and even the intensity of the dribbling event that has been practiced diligently recently has been greatly reduced.
Yes, his system can indeed help design a training plan of the highest intensity that his body can withstand, but that kind of devil training is bound to squeeze most of his energy, and although the damage caused to his body can gradually recover over time, after all, it still needs time and rest, right?
What's more, the coaching staff believes that it is only a matter of time before he continues to consume a lot of energy in a high-intensity game such as Champions League qualification, and then he has to work on it with extra work, and his body collapses.
They can't be blamed for this, Van Basten and his colleagues don't know that there is a system around Longschert that can tailor a training plan for him, and they are just doing their part to stop a young man who "blindly trains to quickly improve his technical level" from going down the road of no return to "self-harm".
So Long Shute could only obediently listen to the kindness of the coaches, but even so, his training intensity was still much higher than that of the second hardest player in the team......
In the current situation at Ajax, the club needs the players to focus all their energy on their daily training and games, and now that Lonjut has "lost his way", the coaching staff are happy to make him a model for all the young people in the team.
The enthusiasm of young people comes and goes quickly, but it also fades quickly, and with such a young player who is between the main player and the substitute appearing around every day, the enthusiasm and competitiveness of his teammates will be stimulated accordingly.
Therefore, they finally stopped suppressing this young man's enthusiasm for training.
The first leg of the fourth qualifying round of the Champions League is less than a week away.
But before welcoming Florence...... Ajax have another game.
On August 15, just three days before the qualifying tournament, Van Basten and his disciples traveled to the southern Dutch city of Eindhoven.
They will be away from home against the traditional three giants of the Eredivisie...... Eindhoven.
It is the Eindhoven who cultivated the "alien" Ronaldo, the "lone wolf" Romario, the "king of the small forbidden area" Van Nistelrooy, the "pigtail" Gullit of the "Dutch Three Musketeers", and the "Peter Pan" Robben.
This is a contest between two declining giants, but it is also a rare pinnacle matchup in the declining Eredivisie.
