121. A red mad dog

"A month ago, Suarez's shocking beat allowed him to save the Uruguay national team, but his reckless step just now did not make him a hero of Ajax..."

Dutch TV's commentator De Kur is full of sarcasm:

"If this is Van Basten's artistic football, then the future of Dutch football may be just a dark place!"

His partner, Yang Sen, shook his head helplessly: "In the 4th minute, Enno left the court due to injury, conceded a goal in the 7th minute, and in the 43rd minute, the team captain, the first scorer, Suarez, red card, Ajax faces the crisis of one less fight, Van Basten's start of this season is really unfavorable..."

-

Van Basten is now one head and two big.

Not only did he use two substitutions in the first half, but he also played one less, and more importantly... there are really no reliable players on the forward line now!

Van Basten regretted letting Pantledic and Kvitanic go away. The Korean who started was almost completely invisible in the opponent's fight and had no effect on their attacks. The two on the bench... Hamdavi just joined the team for less than ten days and did not integrate into the overall tactics at all. As for Soleimani, although Van Basten replaced the Korean, the Ajax coach has lost confidence in the transfer bell of the Eredivisie so far.

He thought for a full fifteen minutes during the break, but still couldn't think of a way to solve the problem. He could only use some vague words to encourage the players not to be discouraged, and then send them back to the battlefield.

Van Basten sighed, sat down on the bench with a lot of worries, his brows furrowed.

Borgkamp, ​​who was standing by, seemed much easier than him: "It's just an irrelevant Super Bowl, is it so nervous?"

Van Basten glanced at him: "You won't forget, what's the other name of this cup?"

Borgkamp suddenly stopped talking.

The Dutch Super Cup, also known as... John Cruyff Shield.

Although Cruyff is more accustomed to being called the godfather of Barcelona, ​​he is also the symbol and pride of Ajax.

As Cruyff's proud disciple, how could Van Basten allow his team to lose this game at home?

-

Long Shute curled his lips and stepped onto the grass in Amsterdam.

The situation in the first half was exactly the same as in history, with injuries, concealed goals, red cards, substitutions...

Twente is very strong and full of resentment towards Ajax. Every time he attacks and defense, he is always at his best, and it is absolutely impossible to show mercy.

They were missing one person and fell behind with one goal. The situation was very serious, but Long Shute didn't feel any tension.

Yes, the system has long told him the end of this game in history. The score of 0-1 lasted from the 7th minute to the last second, and neither side scored another goal in the second half.

But there is no unique existence in the system.

How can he reverse the disadvantage of missing one person and one ball?

-

Run!

Long Shute is not a master of tactics, and his overall view has not made great progress in football games, but one thing he is sure of is that if Ajax's side does not make any changes, then the ending will not change.

So he wants to run!

Run quickly!

-

Van Basten's brows frowned even more as he saw his formation change from the beginning.

The No. 8 midfielder who was supposed to stand behind rushed towards the opponent's half, completely ignoring the gap exposed behind him!

This is the midfielder!

Once caught by your opponent, it will be a fatal attack!

"Is Long Shute crazy?" Dekur laughed gloatingly, "What do he want to do? Did he think he ran faster than the ball?"

The commentator is right. It is difficult for a normal pass to be caught up by a defensive player. Long Shute made a pass without any surprise this time.

He has long been no longer Ajax's secret weapon, and Twente is very clear about his background: if there are players in the Ajax team who will not bow their heads and give up even if they are in desperate situations, that person must not be captain Suarez or someone else, he must be this red No. 8.

So Twente's players may not take Soleimani, who only scored three goals in a season, seriously, but they must pay attention to Long Shute's existence. He had just accelerated from his own half, and Twente's players immediately transferred the football to a safer area. If Long Shute still wants to catch up, he needs to cross half of the court.

Any professional player will know how to make choices. Chasing the ball like a wild dog is a scene that only appears in anime.

But at the Amsterdam Arena, more than 40,000 live viewers and more TV viewers saw a crazy wild dog.

"What is he doing?"

"What the hell does he want to do?"

"...It's just an insignificant game, why do you have to fight so hard?"

These thoughts come to everyone's minds, but no one will tell them the answer at this time.

Because that person is still running wildly!

He chased the rolling football frantically, failing again and again, but never stopped.

Twente's players were happy to see it. They seemed to have returned to the usual training game of snatching the circle. A large group of people were just like playing monkeys, just kicking the ball around at will. Not only could they save energy, but they could also watch the wild monkeys in the circle running around, but they could never touch the ball.

Appreciate the despair and anger on the opponent's face up close... What else can make you climax and tremble more than this?

Long Shute's breathing began to become heavy, and big drops of sweat began to flow out on his forehead and neck, shiny in the sun. Even on the TV screen, you could feel the physical energy was passing rapidly from his body, but his steps still did not hesitate.

Regardless of the overall formation, he only has football in his eyes, which is definitely a mistake that beginners will make in defense, but Long Shute rushed out without any scruples.

Van Basten's lips were trembling slightly. He knew that the disciple was definitely not an impulsive young man, but his crazy performance today really surprised him.

Long Shute had been chasing for more than fifteen minutes. During this period, Van Basten had countless opportunities to stop his reckless behavior, but he never spoke.

He just stood on the sidelines, frowned tightly, and watched every pass from Twente and every robbery from Longshute.

After all, he is Van Basten. In his heart, there is still some unrealistic hope. He hopes... that mad dog can bring some unexpected changes to the critical situation.

Long Shute took a deep breath and slowly stopped.

Twente is not a solid piece of cake. Under the high pressure from himself and his teammates, their passes have made many mistakes. The passing just now is too hasty and almost caused an own goal.

He had a strong premonition that as long as he pressed a few more times, Twente's mistakes would only increase.
