When Long Shute watched the news about the national team in a very rare manner, the other person was very unhappy.

Captain Ajax Suarez returned to Amsterdam with a depressed look on his face.

He was incredible in the Eredivisie, but Uruguay, led by him, was defeated 1-0 by Argentina led by Messi in the last round of the South American qualifiers. Maradona and his disciples were extremely proud to get the ticket to advance directly, but Uruguay will have a final fierce battle with the fourth place in Central and North America in a month.

Although Uruguay is confident of defeating his opponent and Costa Rica's strength is very limited, the two-round playoffs at home and away will require a lot of time and energy, especially for Uruguay, where the main players play in European clubs, no one can guarantee whether the players will experience physical discomfort or other accidents during the round trip.

The depressed Suarez brought his anger to the club, so... Ajax's opponents were all affected.

On October 17, Ajax swept William II 4-0 at home.

On the 20th, he defeated his third opponent in the Champions League group stage 3-0 away.

On the 24th, he reversed last season's league champion Alkmaar 4-2 away.

On the 30th, he defeated his Dutch Cup opponent 5-1 away, Dodrecht from the Dutch League.

Two days later, Ajax, who returned to his home court, mercilessly kicked his century-old rival Feyenoord back to his hometown with a score of 5-1, making the game originally called the Dutch National Derby a one-sided bloody massacre.

In the fourth group stage of the Champions League, Ajax polished his butcher knife again and used five goals to entertain Hungarian champion De Bresen, who came to the Netherlands to visit. While announcing that his opponent had completely lost hope of promotion, he also won all four rounds and scored 12 points to lock in a group qualifying place two rounds ahead of schedule.

In the league, Champions League, Dutch Cup, Ajax made great progress in the third line. Whether it is the number of goals, the dominance of the game, or the control of the ball, they all reached an amazing level. For a time, praise from various countries surged like a tide. After a year and a half, Van Basten was once again hailed as the "Dutch tactical master".

However, compared to his sharpness during his coaching the Dutch national team, Van Basten has long experienced the capriciousness of the media and public opinion. In front of the camera, he did not act like a winner, and commented on Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern and other giants who have not yet qualified. Instead, he maintained his usual cold and arrogant attitude and simply replied: "This season has just begun. It may be too early to praise us."

But even such a simple sentence can be extended to many meanings by reporters and editors.

"Van Basten makes a bold statement! The Champions League group qualifies early is just the beginning!"

"A low-key genius! Van Basten has made great progress!"

"Regain the league championship? Or make a breakthrough in the Champions League? The unknown ambitions of talented coaches!"

"Ajax aims at the Triple Crown! The Son of God (Ajax nickname) is about to rule Europe!"

After the national team competition, Suarez still maintained his super high goal efficiency. In these six consecutive games, the 9 goals and 2 assists he scored stunned everyone.

Although there are weak teams from low-level leagues among the opponents, they scored 33 goals in just three months to complete things that Messi and Ronaldo were unable to accomplish. Such a terrifying report card has shown that the Uruguayan is definitely not a meteor that flashes by.

The whole of Europe began to notice how terrifying the strength of the striker Ajax is and how stable his condition is!

Those European wealthy families finally started to act.

Telephone and faxes at the Ajax Club began to work frequently.

Whether it is club chairman John Jake, head coach Van Basten, other managers, or even the team's loyal fans, it is no surprise that such a development is.

This small city of Amsterdam will sooner or later not be able to retain such a beast.

The only thing they need to care about is when the beast will leave?

How much real money can we get for the club's sustainable development before leaving?

Although Suarez is the well-deserved focus of Ajax over the past few months, this does not mean that no one else has performed.

In 6 games, Long Shute scored a total of two goals and one assist on three weak teams.

Although this data is nothing compared to Suarez's crazy offensive efficiency of 1.4 goals per game, Long Shute, who has been defending for a long time, has gradually tasted the fun of attacking, and he gradually found a feeling on the offensive end.

The numb and numb feeling of electric shock that surged all over my body after scoring the goal is really unforgettable!

When Ajax had the advantage, head coach Van Basten also encouraged him to move forward from the midfield and backcourt to try to participate in the team's offense.

From the simplest way to immediately pass the ball to the organization core after receiving the ball at the beginning, to the quick way to split the ball to two sides according to the situation, or directly pass it to the frontcourt for a long time, Long Shute is slowly changing his role on the field.

But the basis of all this is that he must do his defensive work well!

In the Dutch football dictionary between Ajax, defense and offense are never separated separately. A qualified player must be able to show off on both ends of the offense and defense. Even Robben, the current representative of Dutch football, often appears on the team's first line of defense.

Of course, if you say you are Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, you are just standing in front and responsible for the offense... I'm afraid there will be a large number of people criticizing you, because now it's not ten years ago, offense and defense are not completely opposite, and everyone has dual responsibilities at the same time, so we will see those defenders frequently intervene in and participate in the offense. Even Messi, known as Maradona's successor, and Xavi, with their thin physique, shouldn't they often get entangled with their opponents?

Carlos, Ramos, Marcelo, Macon, Alves, Terry, Ivanovic, Bynes, Tottenham's Bale... are all standard defenders with swords.

Spanish golden boy Fernando Torres, after joining Chelsea, has also become a "both offense and defense" player: he can not only act as a shiny bayonet for siege and draw villages when the team needs to defend, but also become a strong left back with iron and bloody left back...

Van Basten has long said that Long Shute should not be satisfied with becoming a pure defensive player, which is an absolute waste of resources.

But to truly achieve both offense and defense, it will inevitably take a certain amount of time and process.

The more games you play, the more effort and sweat the players, the time and process may be shorter, but there are also many players who maintain their first entry level until they retire, while others have been able to develop multiple attributes in their careers and always stand at the forefront of the times.

Like many things in this world, football is not a sports event that will surely succeed as long as you work hard. There will be countless uncertainties during this period, but if you can't even work hard, you may not even have hope of success.

So Long Shute never gave up his efforts.

Come on, I’ve done this bowl of spiritual chicken soup!
Chapter completed!
