When Van Basten shook hands with Redknapp with a 3-0 score, Old Lei couldn't laugh at all.

But in the post-match press conference, he could only express his toughness in a bluff:

"The referee's call in the first half brought us some troubles, and Bale and Modric were both absent due to injuries. Crouch and Van der Fate had just returned from injury. The team's strength was greatly affected. Of course, Van Basten's arrangement was quite good, and his on-site command was impeccable. I didn't lose this game unfairly."

Lao Leixin turned his head unwillingly to see his opponent: "See you again in Bailu Lane in a month!"

Van Basten nodded with a smile, as if looking at an angry child: "Goodbye."

He has three goals in hand now. Even if Bale really returns from injury, what can he do?

-

The return of Suarez and Long Shute brought Ajax back on track, and two consecutive big wins made everyone feel full of confidence.

Long Shute, who has experienced the Asian Cup, gradually showed the leadership ability that a midfielder should have. After two weeks of transformation, Hamdavi, who was transferred to the preparatory stage by Van Basten, had to admit that the leadership status of the two captains was unshakable.

A dispute between the three main shooters was quickly stopped by Van Basten, and the locker room returned to tranquility.

From the perspective of football rules, when the team is generally progressing, there are few discordant voices inside. Even if someone is dissatisfied occasionally, they will not be overly associated with it. Once the performance declines, these contradictions will be infinitely amplified, resulting in the collapse of the entire team.

Ajax still maintains a top position in the league, leading second-place Twente by 11 points. He just beat Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League and has one foot in the quarterfinals. In addition, the domestic Dutch Cup has also advanced to the semi-finals, and the third-tier team has shown good momentum. Most players are now lenient in the prize money, so how can they have the time to make trouble?

Even if you don’t have an IQ player, you know that if you want to transfer, you should perform well at critical moments. After all, your position in the new team depends more or less on your previous results.

If you can win two league championships in a row and then reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League, facing those new teammates, you can at least say, "My man, I am also a player full of honor. I have also punched Real Madrid, kicked Milan, and there are Liverpool under my butt. There are more wealthy families than you have ever heard of. You rural guys dare to hang your teeth in front of me?"

With nearly one month apart in the two rounds of the quarterfinals, Van Basten decided to make appropriate adjustments to the tactics during this period and take a rotation lineup.

For example, captain Suarez may be used to playing against Real Madrid and Milan. Now he seems to be unable to play against weak teams in the league, which is a bargain for Soleimani and Long Shute.

In 24 rounds, he beat Venlo 2-0 at home.

In the 25th round, he narrowly defeated Eindhoven 1-0 away.

In the semi-finals of the Netherlands Cup, the half-substitute lineup swept Valvik, who was relegated to Class II last season 5-1 at home.

Immediately after 26 rounds, Ajax, who played all the main players, beat Alkmaar, who was in poor condition 5-0 at home.

With the power of great victory, Van Basten took his disciples to England and visited Bailu Lane.

Bale's injury still did not heal, but for the sake of the team, he sat on the bench with a bandage.

Compared to Ajax, who can concentrate on the Champions League, the situation for Tottenham Hotspur is much more complicated.

They have slipped to sixth place in the Premier League. If they don't work hard to grab points now, they may be qualified for the Champions League next season.

So they are not relaxed in the league, and the competition in the Premier League is already extremely fierce. They lack the adjustment during the winter break and are far less physically than Dutch teams.

The passive situation of three goals behind forced Tottenham coach Lao Lei to launch an attack, but the left side without Bale always seemed to be sharp enough, while Lennon on the right was not inferior in speed, but his last shot and key pass were always not good enough. Even if the Ajax player did not stop him, he would destroy his offensive opportunity...

Tottenham's offense is often loud and the rain is small. However, Ajax comfortably set up a defensive counterattack formation on the away game, and the effect is surprisingly good. He made four threatening counterattacks in the first half alone, and Suarez and Soleimani successfully scored two goals, rewriting the total score to 5-0.

It may be possible to catch up if you are three goals behind, but with only 45 minutes, the gap between five goals is particularly huge. What's more, Ajax also has the advantage of two away goals. Tottenham can only complete a sharp turn if they score 6 goals.

Redknapp was not a lunatic after all. He was at such a disadvantage. He thought he was powerless to make the situation happen, so he simply gave up his strong attack in the second half and did not take the risk of letting Bale appear, although the monkey seemed a little dissatisfied.

The 2-0 score was maintained to the end. Ajax convincingly completed the double with a total score of 5-0, and was unscathed in front of Tottenham, who had the strongest attack power in the group stage, and escaped unscathed, allowing the popular chicken Gareth Bale, who was eyeing all over Europe, to sit for 90 minutes on the bench.

Van Basten helped Tottenham end the Champions League journey, so they quickly calmed down and started their league's four major careers as soon as possible, and then continued to start their unstoppable defending journey in the league.

In the 27th round, he defeated William II 4-1 at home.

In the 28th round, Van Basten used a half-main lineup to go out to The Hague, but unexpectedly, The Hague, who was aiming to relegate, scored two goals in 5 minutes and gave them a blow.

Seeing that Hamdavi, who had just been lifted and returned from the ban, could not find his state, the White Swan immediately dispatched troops. Suarez and Long Shute got on the battlefield before the end of the first half, and then scored twice respectively to complete a 4-2 reversal.

By the end of the 28th round, Ajax had already led Twente, who was 14 points, and with only 6 rounds left in the league, the championship was almost at hand.

In five league games, one domestic cup game, and one Champions League game, Long Shute contributed 6 goals and two assists to Ajax, and officially surpassed Hamdavi to become the team's top scorer.

As March entered, the whole Netherlands was in full bloom, Suarez gradually recovered his sense of goal and scored goals almost every game. Not only did he surpass Hamdavi in ​​a very short period of time, but he also posed an extremely serious threat to Longshen's special status.

Of course, Ajax's chief and deputy captain would not have conflicts over the status of a shooter king, but this kind of healthy competition has indeed rekindled the fighting spirit of the Uruguayan striker, who had already lost interest in the Dutch team.

Moreover, due to the intimate relationship between the two, Suarez and Long Shute would not dominate the ball too much on the court, because the smart Van Basten posted a ranking list in the locker room in advance. On this list, in addition to the number of goals, there are also assists and times to create threatening balls. Only shooting will not convince everyone.

Driven by this competitive atmosphere, even Soleimani, who only scored 4 goals in the first half of the season, opened his goal account during this period. Although he is always invisible when facing strong teams, he can often rage the opponent's defense line on weak teams, especially in low-confrontation games like the Dutch Cup, where Serbian strikers who lead substitutes can often kill and kill.

Now Hamdavi regrets it because he is irresponsible and overestimated his ability to say that he has been suspended by the head coach for a month, but when he returns, he finds that he has become the fourth shooter in the team from the original shooter king...

Van Basten finally showed his control in the locker room. He is now very happy to enjoy the peaceful years of progressing on all three fronts.

When international match day comes in late March, he can even take his wife and daughter leisurely to the beach in Spain for a week of warm vacation.

Then he got a call from assistant coach Borgkamp on the beach:
Chapter completed!
