Chapter Eighty-Four: The Perfect Return
The Dutch Cup is a single-elimination tournament with a draw to decide home and away, and Ajax are lucky to play at home against Eredivisie side Breda.
None of this paid much attention, and the media was surprised to find that Ajax had revised their starting line-up two hours before the game.
Jonk appeared in the starting lineup.
Rare guest, the 25th is going to start again.
Careful media will find that the kid is really lucky to play in place of the suddenly injured Pinal, but can the lucky kid seize the opportunity?
Jonk was simply a cage-free tiger in the game, and the Breda players were eager to tear off a piece of meat.
Nature, bestiality!
Breda players are really a little scared, when they meet a fatal player, the key is that the No. 25 kick is still very measured, looks fierce, and is not actually fouled, in fact, there is a flexible space for fouls or not, the same action, where the referee who gives loose penalties will not foul.
Today, Jonk met a referee who was lax in law enforcement, first tackled the ball, and then shoveled people over, but the referee still did not say anything, and the game continued.
Jonk's three-board axe stunned the opponent, and Ajax firmly controlled the midfield and took the initiative on the field.
Entering the game quickly and the impact is obvious.
Koeman has to say that the momentum in Jonker is becoming more and more obvious, and he can also drive the rest of the team, such a young player is really good, but there are a lot of off-field problems, otherwise the development will be better.
Soon, Ajax not only took the initiative on the field, but also took the lead in the score, the attack was launched after the Jonker steal, a very reasonable side, Babel quickly inserted, across the middle, Ibrahimovic in front of the goal relying on the defender to push gently, 1:0!
Ajax is ahead! It looks relaxed, a neat combination, two passes and one shot to get a goal.
Jonck's overall view has also improved to a certain extent, and Koeman has a golden eye in the coach's box, but unfortunately there is no match to verify later, and this game must be observed.
What a sight to behold! Jonker's re-start can be described as an amazing performance, more solid than before, and the ball distribution is also beginning to show results.
AC Milan scouts in the stands faithfully recorded Jonker's performance on the field, as well as footage of the game.
This image is just a moment in the game, and it looks like Jonker is already a very good midfielder, with a fierce defense, a reasonable share of the ball, and everything looks good.
It's just that it seems that compared to before, there is a little more passion, more steadiness and fighting spirit, the number of times involved in the attack is decreasing, and the powerful long-range shots that were the hallmark in the previous games did not appear much in today's game.
Scared of being punished? Don't dare to plug it in rashly?
Before the game, Coman did not limit the insertion of Jonker, but soon Jonk answered the manager's questions with his own practical actions.
The opponent Breda obviously watched the defeat of Ajax in the last game, and the opening of the two flanks became the focus of Breda attack today.
But Breda missed a little, today's temporary appearance of Jonker liberated Van der Vaart, more defensive tasks are Jonker is doing, Jonk, who has observed the losing game, did not plug in frequently today, and the defense is the opponent's attack on the side.
"Beautiful, Jonker's defense in the midfield today is perfect, the front and the side did not leave a chance for Breda, he has enough defensive area alone, Ajax can attack boldly with confidence!"
It's clear from the commentary that Jonker was more defensive today.
All Koeman's doubts disappeared, but he was very relieved, through observation on the bench, Jonk was able to take the initiative to make up for the team's shortcomings, such a player which manager does not like, no need to instruct, automatically find gaps to remedy.
In the four major judging systems of Ajax before, Jonker's comprehension was not high, but now it seems that Jonk is gradually opening up and has a deeper understanding of football.
It's not that it's profound, but that Jonk is no longer casual, but serious, and learns to observe and comprehend.
Koeman really felt that he was right to ban Jonker, such a player Ajax can't retain, at least the winter break should not be too noticeable, after the second half of the season, it is uncertain.
Others don't know what to do, but he still knows what he does, and the Milanese are really interested in Jonker, and a Champions League game made Ancelotti admire Jonk and want to get him.
I can't keep it!
Ajax can't keep it!
At this time, Van der Vaart scored again, kicking the world and rewriting the score to 2:0!
When the camera was shown to the coach's bench, Coman was shaking his head deeply, a very discordant picture, and the coach of the team scored a goal and shook his head.
As a result, it was misunderstood by the commentary, but the commentator thought that he couldn't keep Van der Vaart, "Coman seems to realize something, the captain of the team has been deeply involved in transfer rumors, what does it mean to shake his head, is our captain leaving?" Otherwise, after the team took the lead, Koeman would have looked like this! ”
Koeman's casual action turned into another proof of Van der Vaart's transfer after the game, and I have to admire the media's ability to associate and connect everything.
At the end of the first half, 2-0, Ajax led at home.
At halftime, Coman asked Jonker to participate more in the attack, and he also wanted to see more, what Jonk held back, and take a comprehensive look at the performance in the attack.
Who would have thought that the second half would become a one-man performance for Jonker.
First of all, the shooting rate on target has improved significantly, and in the past, 1 in 10 shots on target was only about 3 shots on target.
In the second half, Jonker had exactly 10 shots, five on target and scored two goals.
It's nearly doubled, and the top players with long-range shots are about the same probability!
What a horrible growth!
Amid the constant cheers of the home fans, Jonker scored a hat-trick in the second half.
Give some sunshine and it will be bright!
"It's perfect, and the offensive prowess that Jonk showed in the second half was completely world-class! 3 goals, all of them are world waves, look at the helpless expression of the Breda goal, you can know how great the lethality of Jonck's long-range shot is to the goalkeeper! The terrifying killing god is still a heavy artillery from the back row, who can completely hold it! Ajax's new point of attack is born! ”
With an overall advantage, with a score of 5:0, Ajax won the game with great ease, and the whole team did not look tired, only the happy feeling of scoring goals.
Jonker's gesture of raising his arms after scoring a goal appeared prominently in the media the next day, "No. 25 is back perfectly!" ”
