The head coach of every club will not like national team games, and Van Basten is the same.

When the international match day ended in late March, his team added several more casualties. Aldwellerde, Aisatti and Stegrenberg were lying on the hospital bed at the same time. Even Oleg, who had no national team task, was inexplicably infected with the cold during the vacation and had to stay at home to recuperate.

When the rest of the healthy players gathered at the training base, everyone noticed that behind head coach Van Basten, the legendary old man who had just returned to the club stood.

It was a legendary superstar who was more legendary than the White Swan and the Three Musketeers. The flying Dutchman could represent an era of Dutch football alone.

"I'm back from Spain and it feels great to see Ajax have so many talented young people."

Cruyff spoke, his voice was not high at all, but everyone held their breath and listened quietly to his feelings.

"I know that in the past two years there are a lot of people calling Barcelona the Universe Team, and they seem irresistible, but I want to tell you that they are by no means omnipotent.

Yes, I dare say, no one knows Barcelona better than me. They have the best players in the world and are used to winning. They are more conceited than anyone else, so they are afraid of failure! Once they fall behind, they will immediately reveal their true colors and are vulnerable!"

Cruyff gasped slightly. Years of heart disease and increasingly severe lung cancer made him unable to be too excited. He smiled at the players: "I hope you don't show mercy when facing Barcelona. I have no relationship with them anymore. If you beat them, I will definitely give you a drink."

After finishing his brief speech, Cruyff slowly withdrew from the training ground.

In this clearing, only Van Basten's voice was still echoing:

"Barcelona's tactics have long been well known to the whole world in recent years. From a conceptual perspective, they are not essentially different from us, and we have no reason to fear them."

"Some people complain every time the lottery results come out, thinking that God is deliberately making things difficult for our young team, but I never feel that way."

Every time after the draw, he cried and robbed the earth. Van Basten, who was crying in tears, was shameless at this time and encouraged the players against his conscience:

"If we just fight to the death with some miscellaneous fish, then even if we win the final championship, who would think this is our strength? They will only say that we are lucky..."

"A true strong man can only prove his strength after defeating the strong man, and can also gain the respect of everyone, thus gaining the favor of real wealthy families and getting a richer high-paying contract... Isn't that the case?"

-

Of course, the declarations of the two bigwigs are a bit untrue. It is true that Barcelona's tactical style in recent years has been thoroughly studied by everyone, but there is no coach who really dares to pat his chest to ensure that he can defeat them.

The madman who once led Inter Milan to defeat Guardiola, Mourinho is regarded as the most promising person to block the universe team, but the Galaxy battleship he led lost a clean 0-5 in the first round of the national derby.

Tiki-taka's tactics seem very simple, so simple that any fan can say a few words casually, but no one can tell the essence of this tactics. Even the biggest reason for Barcelona's success is whether the player or the head coach will cause quarrels among the two fan groups.

Countless teams have begun to follow the trend and learn their playing style after Barcelona's success, but none of them can replicate their success - including the Chinese Football Association, which has always actively learned advanced experience. It is said that they are ready to hire Spanish coaches to coach in China, but there seems to be some problems in their work. They did not contact any head coach from Barcelona, ​​but instead found a legendary celebrity who was swept out by Real Madrid and then made a living in low-level leagues in various places.

In the years around 2010, Barcelona was the most dominant club in football. In addition, Messi continuously suppressed Ronaldo to dominate the football world with an absolute advantage, making their reputation even more prominent. So every time Barcelona's opponents challenged them, they were nicknamed the battle to defend the earth by the media.

In the 2010-11 season, Barcelona had almost no weaknesses in Spain. As of early April, after 30 rounds of the league, they lost to the newly promoted Hercules in the second round just because they were careless about underestimating the opponent. There was no loss in the subsequent games. Their stability made Real Madrid, which was closely behind, almost no hope of overtaking.

Facing such an invincible army, if Cruyff and Van Basten are really not worried, then they must be bragging. Even at their peak, they may not be able to defeat such a cosmic team.

So they started preparing for the game half a month in advance. Cruyff, Van Basten, Borgkamp, ​​and other coaching staff members, Blind, all joined the hot discussion.

The imaginary enemies they train every day are Barcelona, ​​so no one has ever considered how to deal with their league opponents before this.

Under such circumstances, Ajax welcomed his 29th round of the league at home, Hercules.

This day was April 3, and there were only three days before they defended the earth.

-

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After three muffled sounds over the Amsterdam Arena within eight minutes, the game had lost all its meaning.

Dutch TV's commentator De Kur was completely speechless, only his partner, Jansen, was still exclaiming:

"Ajax's vice captain was completely crazy today! He scored a hat-trick within eight minutes of the second half! He expanded the score to 3-0! In front of the Chinese Dragon, Hercules had no hope!"

"It seems that the Chinese captain who did not participate in the national team competition last week did hold up a lot of energy, and every shot he shot was extremely powerful!"

He Wei, thousands of miles away, found a good reason to praise his compatriots:

"If I remember correctly, this should be Long Shute's first hat trick in his career!

We all hope that this hat trick can become a sign of the beginning of a legend. We hope that Long Shute will give the audience more exciting performances in future competitions!”

Standing on the sidelines, Van Basten looked at the young man wearing the No. 8 jersey on the court, and the look of astonishment could be clearly seen on his face.

No wonder he was so shocked, because Long Shute's three goals were all long shots from 20 meters away!

Perhaps Ajax focused all his energy on the Champions League three days later. In this league, many players were inexplicably excited and could not get into the state for a long time. Although they were not suppressed by their opponents, the game was once in a difficult situation.

In order to break the deadlock, Ajax's deputy activated Qianyuan blood burning three times in the second half, consuming 15% of his physical strength each time, adding all six points of attributes to the long-range shot attribute, directly increasing from the original 13 to the bright red 19 points.

His luck was really good. He even hit all three shots. When the Hercules player reacted, the score had become an irreversible 3-0.

A midfielder who has never shown his long-range shooting talent in more than two seasons suddenly scored three goals in a row. Such a performance is indeed magical. No wonder Van Basten, who watches him train every day, is surprised.

However, what surprised him even more was that Long Shute, who usually played 90 minutes in a league game, seemed more than enough, shortly after completing three goals, actually raised his hand to replace him...

"It took less than seventy minutes of the game, and Long Shute took the initiative to ask for the end? Could he be injured?"

He Wei couldn't help but be shocked:

"The mid-week is the Champions League quarter-finals against Barcelona. As Ajax's midfielder core, if Long Shute is absent due to injury, it almost means... Ajax raised his hand in advance and surrendered!"

His words may be too absolute, but neither coach Van Basten, Suarez on the bench, or Cruyff watching the game in the box could help but feel nervous.

However, when observing Long Shute's posture, there was no sign of injury at all.

"It's nothing serious. The training intensity has been too high recently and I can't keep up with my physical fitness. I may need a break," Long Shute explained to the head coach and teammates with a smile, "Just sleep, I can continue to participate in training tomorrow."

Van Basten breathed a sigh of relief.

He would never hope to lose this general before the fierce battle.

Because in a sense, the key to the victory or defeat of that fierce battle is in the hands of this vice captain.
Chapter completed!
