112. It is not easy to win the day and a half son

“The weather hasn’t been very good recently.”

Long Shute, who is recuperating, can only do some simple upper limb strength training now, and must strictly control the range of movement to avoid causing discomfort in the legs.

He looked at the rare gray sky in Amsterdam and couldn't help but mutter: "I thought I was in Beijing..."

"You really don't read the news..." Borgkamp, ​​who was making breakfast in the kitchen, replied loudly, "Icelandic volcano erupts!"

Long Shute put down the dumbbell in his hand speechlessly, and then walked carefully to the kitchen door: "Although I haven't been to high school, I have also studied geography. Iceland is at least one or two thousand kilometers away from the Netherlands, right?"

"It's almost the same. Half of Europe has been affected by volcanic ash," the smell of fried eggs floated out of the crack of the door. "Many flights have been grounded, and even the team can only take the train when playing away games."

"I have been isolated from the world for half a month, but I don't know what it takes to take the train..." Long Shute muttered.

His eyelids moved slightly, searching for Icelandic volcanic ash in the system, and millions of news instantly poured into his sight.

"On April 10, the Polish presidential plane landed forcibly during heavy fog, and the plane was destroyed and people were killed, with a total of 97 people killed."

Then he didn't say anything.

Hello, system, you should almost push some current political news. Don’t push pictures of beautiful women every day. The rice cooked by Borgkamp is too light and the nutrition cannot keep up...

-

The impact of Iceland's volcanoes has caused more than one flight, and Ajax has suffered greatly.

On March 30, in the first round of the quarter, the ash had not spread and the plane could take off normally. Their opponent Bordeaux arrived in Amsterdam on schedule.

With Suarez and Romedal each scoring a goal, Ajax defeated Bordeaux 2-1 at home, while Bordeaux relied on the leading scorer Chamach to score a goal and got a valuable away goal.

The score is a little subtle, but Ajax still has an advantage overall, but no one expected that a week later, the volcanic ash finally enveloped most of Europe.

The flight to France was directly cancelled, and Van Basten could only lead his entire team to the away game as a high-speed train.

Although the Netherlands and France are not far away, they are not a distance of one or two hours. There are also cars in Paris, which are more than 10 hours in total. For Chinese people who are used to long journeys in the Spring Festival travel rush, this is not a big trip, but the players who are used to going high and going thousands of miles in one or two hours have suffered such crimes?

What's more, during the one-week doubles, time seemed even more precious, and 10 hours completely disrupted Van Basten's combat preparations.

Ajax played in this road trip with great difficulty. They fought Bordeaux for 90 minutes in the first half, but only scored a 1-2 ending.

2-1 at home and 1-2 away. Both sides tied 3-3 in 180 minutes in two rounds. Each team scored an away goal, and both sides entered overtime.

The disadvantage of away games was particularly amplified after 10 hours of train trip. Ajax's players completely collapsed after entering overtime. Chamach's two goals set the total score at 5-3.

Van Basten, who had fought with God for a whole season, finally failed to defeat God. In front of God's volcanic ash, a arrogant white swan could only be appointed and took his disciples to return by car.

Ajax, who returned to Amsterdam, was defeated by Venlo, who was trapped in a bad situation. The winning streak that he had maintained before came to an abrupt end, and the difference between Twente became 1 point again.

There are three rounds in the league, and the difference between Ajax and Twente is only 1 point, and everyone remembers what happened a season ago.

Last season, Ajax reversed Twente at the last moment. Now Twente has become the chaser. The lessons of the past are right in front of him, and Van Basten suddenly felt endless pressure.

In addition, Van Basten also needs to consider the final of the Dutch Cup, while Twente only needs to concentrate on the league. Ajax is more nervous in time and suffers even more in terms of players' physical reserves.

If it was an ordinary opponent, Van Basten might have given up this irrelevant cup match, but... the final opponent is Ajax's stalemate in Dutch football, Feyenoord!

No one can lose to them!

By the way, according to the rules of the Dutch Cup, the finals are home and away games!

Damn God!

All the previous Dutch Cup matches were single-game winning and losing, so why did there be one more game in the final?

I also have to take the train!

"How do you see?"

Borgkamp placed a plate of fried steak that had just been out of the pot in front of Long Shute.

The TV is playing videos of Arsenal and Barcelona's match that Long Shute is said to be "downloaded from the Internet".

Messi was moving his legs, quickly but lightly twitching the football, feeling like he was in a no-man in Arsenal's defense.

Ajax's former captain, the back-defense back-stalker, Vermalen, was like a wooden stake in front of the Argentine flea. He was broken through at least seven or eight times in a game. When the final whistle was over, the Belgian defender was almost exhausted.

Long Shute shook his head: "I can't learn it..."

"..." Borgkamp was slightly stunned, and then reacted, "Don't tell me... you are learning Messi's dribbling?"

"What else?" Ajax 8 spread his hands and looked at the wooden man on the screen. "Did you let me learn how Vermalen was passed by?"

Borgkamp laughed silently and shook her head repeatedly: "If you can learn it just by watching the video, then Messi will probably be angry with you, right?"

Long Shute frowned and ignored him.

Playing games and watching videos are the only training programs he can participate in now, and it is said that he can improve his tactical literacy...

But he has watched it for a month in a row, and the tactical attributes in the system have not changed at all. Instead, Borgkamp and many teammates who came to visit have ridiculed him several times...

Speaking of system attributes, more than a month of recovery caused his physical attributes and team cooperation to decline slightly. Seeing the attributes that he had finally practiced fell again after only one month, he was so anxious that several blisters grew on the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, he has received the doctor's "iceducation" today:

He will be officially back tomorrow.

-

On April 16, after a 35-day rest, Long Shute returned to the Ajax training base.

"Young guys," before the training of this day, head coach Van Basten said to the players with a smile, "Today I will introduce you to a new player, Longshaote from China! Please applaud and welcome!"

Long Shute also smiled as all his teammates burst into laughter.

But his eyes seemed to be about to burn!

After 35 days of recovery, he almost got sick.

He can't wait to re-enter the training and competition!
Chapter completed!
