522、The real strong enemy
"In most literary works, long-term reunion is touching, such as Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu held hands again after 16 years apart. What a touching picture?
There are also such classics on the football field. For example, when Beckham returned to Manchester United as an opponent in his late career, he received applause from the entire Old Trafford, which moved thousands of fans... "
Of course, only Poet He can express such emotion in CCTV:
"But Long Shute does not seem to be a player who can easily make people cry. Just today, he returned to his first city in his career, stepped onto the first stadium he landed in Europe, and faced his once close teammates, this should have been a warm reunion drama, but he used a merciless hat trick... to completely disperse this warmth!"
-
"Drip, drip, drip!"
When the whistle to the end of the game sounded, Long Shute did not return to the visiting team's locker room with his teammates.
He stood in the South stand where the home team fans gathered the most.
Above the stands, the huge electronic screen shows the final score of the entire game.
Ajax 1, AC Milan 4.
If it weren't for his existence, Milan might have only been tied with Ajax as in history.
But his sudden appearance completely changed all the results.
He looked at the depressed Ajax fans in the stands and lowered his head slightly.
Feel sorry!
-
"Long, can you sign me?"
A crisp sound interrupted the faint emotion in Long Shute's heart.
He looked up and saw a boy with a slightly dark complexion holding his last season's Champions League jersey in Ajax, looking at him with anticipation.
Long Shu nodded, then took the signature pen handed over by the other party:
"Little guy, what's your name?"
This boy, who seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen, proudly raised his chest:
"Justin, Justin Cruivet!"
Long Shute smiled and said while signing:
"What a good surname. Do you usually play football?"
The young man nodded and replied:
"I am now a player in Ajax U16, and in the near future, I will become an excellent player like my dad and you!"
Long Shu's special movements were paused.
Why do you feel...it seems to take advantage of you?!
-
He was defeated by Barcelona and AC Milan in two consecutive rounds. Although Ajax was very disappointed from top to bottom, he did not give up his life.
After all, when the group draw results came out, they were actually ready for the six-day group tour.
Their only goal now is to gain the lead in the two rounds of confrontation with the Celtics, thus maintaining the third place in the group and participating in the UEFA Cup.
Although the specifications, level, attention, and even the bonus of the UEFA Cup are far inferior to those of the Champions League, for Dutch clubs like Ajax, they are not qualified to be picky. The money for the UEFA Cup... is also real money!
Relatively speaking, Ajax's strength is still slightly stronger than the Celtics. In addition, Long Shute secretly agreed to his old club that he would use all his strength to beat the Celtics at home and do his best to help Ajax get more goal difference, so it is almost a foregone conclusion that Ajax won the third place...
There is only one suspense left in this group:
AC Milan and Barcelona, the old enemy...who can win the top spot in the group?
-
For Barcelona, Allegri actually has some psychological shadows.
Since coaching Milan in 2010, he has encountered Barcelona six times in the first three seasons. Both Guardiola and his successor Biranova have an absolute advantage in Allegro. Ajiong's only victory - defeating Barcelona 2-0 at home in the first leg of the quarterfinals last season - now it looks more like his opponent has not woken up in the game.
Because when Barcelona returned to Camp Nou in the second round, they almost used the momentum of cutting melons and vegetables to send Milan four goals back to Italy...
Although even if you lose to Barcelona, as long as you defeat the Celtics and Ajax is enough to ensure that Milan advances to the knockout stage with the second place in the group, as a dignified and thoughtful head coach, Allegri is also eager to defeat this old opponent.
So this Italian coach, who is a bit lazy in nature, likes to enjoy life, and hates too much pressure, began to actively develop tactics after returning to Milan.
He not only studied Barcelona's tactics, but also Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Inter Milan's tactics, and wanted to find inspiration to defeat the opponent in the match between these teams and Barcelona. Even Ajax's game against Barcelona was turned over and over and studied, and became a workaholic. Even the model's girlfriend complained about him.
He had just studied it for a day and a night, and assistant coach Mauro Tasotti couldn't help but remind him:
"Do we put Barcelona down first? The league...is also very important?"
Allegri glanced at the calendar on his desk, looked at the memo again, and then woke up like a dream:
Four days later, on October 6, his team is about to go away to challenge the league's most powerful enemy - Juventus!
-
"Concentrate!"
"Keep the rhythm of the back line in a consistent manner, don't mess up easily!"
"Midfield tightens the press! Change offense and defense faster!"
"Don't send it back meaninglessly, you are not Barcelona!"
"You must also retreat on the sidelines, and you cannot give the opponent a chance to pass easily!"
"Kaka! Don't lean too far! Pay attention to the situation of the dragon in the middle! Receive him at any time!"
"Mario, do you want me to go to the youth training team and ask Philip (Inzaghi) to teach you how to run?"
"Matia (Decilio), isn't your idol Maldini? You just pay tribute to him like this? Can your defense be tougher and more decisive?"
Allegri, who was "lost and returned", rarely jumped into the training ground and used his own bad voice to urge the players to train hard.
After all, the battle is imminent, and even Milan legendary captain Paul Maldini, who has never shown up for the past, came to the training base to guide the players' training - after all, his nominal position is the technical director, and no matter what he does, it is not considered overstepping his authority.
"Oh, Mattia, why can't you understand?"
After verbally coaching Desilio for a few minutes, Maldini finally couldn't bear it anymore. He took off his sports jacket and jumped directly into the training ground:
"Come on, let me teach you how to get a seat! Such a simple thing...even I can do it!"
Seeing the 45-year-old captain blocking Long Shute behind with a chic card, Desilio's tears flowed down.
You old monster!
