Chapter 28 Fierce Battle with Ajax

After the quarterfinals, the Dutch Cup is full of strong teams, not even a Dutch second team. The only anomaly is the Oriental Dragons. They are very funny and eye-catching among giants such as Ajax, Eindhoven and Feyenoord.

The draw for the top eight to enter the top four was held on the second day after the game. Unfortunately, the Oriental Dragons drew the giant Ajax of Dutch football. If a month ago, everyone would think that there was no suspense, Ajax was almost equal to passing the test-free, but after Alkmaar and Cambur fell, Whether it is reporters, players, coaches, or fans, they are afraid of being slapped in the face. No one dares to make this assertion. Jiang Mu's Oriental Dragon has created two miracles, and it is by no means impossible to overturn Ajax.

The Dutch Telegraph said: "The magical amateur team has finally met a real opponent, and the great Ajax is their best touchstone. If they can pass the Ajax with the Big Laudrup, Litmanin and Debor brothers, they will become one of the most amazing teams in the world.

"Daily Sports" said: "Ajax, a gathering of geniuses, must be prepared to lose, otherwise, they may become Jiang Mu's third sacrifice to the altar and the biggest sacrifice."

Because of Ajax, even many European media have mentioned the name of the Oriental Dragon Team, and even the Chinese media have begun to discuss the battle between the Oriental Dragon and Ajax. In China, Jiang Mu rose magically almost overnight and became a talented coach, winning for Chinese football in the Netherlands. Dignity and honor.

After the elimination of Brendan, the winter break of the Dutch League began. The eight-to-four game of the Dutch Cup began after the winter break. The professional team disbanded and went home to rest. In order to play this game that was almost of the world's attention, the players of the Oriental Dragons did not rest and continued to insist on training and games twice a week.

Soon after a month of winter break, the eight-to-four knockout match of the Dutch Cup kicked off.

The game is still played at the home of the Oriental Dragons. There are often cold currents in the Netherlands in January, and the temperature is often below zero. It just snowed the day before the game, and the snow partly melted into ice. Although the ice and snow had been dealt with, the venue was still very slippery, which made Ajax's head coach Olson very dissatisfied.

After the game began, the amateur players of the Oriental Dragons finally understood what a first-class team is and what a star is. Compared with Alkmaar, Brendan and Ajax, both the whole and the individual are obviously not at the same level. Not to mention the Oriental Dragons, they can't fight at all and are completely in a situation of passive beating. Although Jiang Mu told every detail of the Ajax players in detail as before before, the huge gap between individual players makes the tactics completely impossible to play their due role. Can Lauderup and Ke Liang compare? Can Li Feng compare with De Boer? This is like the Boxer Regiment vs. the Foreign Guns. No matter how good the tactics are, the equal number of Boxers can't be equal to defeat the Foreign Guns.

Jiang Mu stood on the sidelines with a calm expression. He had already predicted the situation on the court. Chang'e No. 1 has helped him deduce the victory or defeat of the game. No matter what kind of tactics he uses, as long as he follows the rules of football, they only have 5% of the hope of winning. Even with the help of Chang'e No. 1, In a short time, no one can beat Ajax with this group of amateur players, unless Jiang Mu is a god.

Although the general result was calculated in advance, Jiang Mu still did what he should do and what he could do. His football belief is victory, and football is to win or lose. Even if there is only one percent hope, he will make 100% efforts and defeat without fighting. It's not Jiang Mu's life creed.

On the court, the game is still going on fiercely.

Even under the absolute disadvantage, the Oriental Dragons did not collapse. After the battle with Alkmaar and Brendan, their confidence and nerves became strong. All the players tenaciously surrounded their own penalty area and blocked the opponent's tidal attack.

Ten minutes later, the crumbling Oriental Dragons were still standing.

Twenty minutes have passed. Ajax, who is fully in control of the rhythm of the game, still can't score.

Half an hour passed, and Ajax shot 30 shots, but he still couldn't score a goal.

There was thunderous applause off the court. Except for Ajax's fans, all the fans were cheering for the tenacity and tenacity of the Oriental Dragons, and were deterred by their warrior-like fighting spirit.

Ajax head coach Olson saw that he still couldn't break the door after half an hour of fighting and became a little anxious. Looking at Jiang Mu with a calm face, Olson was even more uneasy. He was worried about the conspiracy of this mysterious Chinese. The fallen Alkmaar and Brendan team in front of him were typical examples.

The Ajax players on the court have also become anxious, and the attack is becoming more and more adventurous. Just as their attack is becoming more and more unscrupulous, the Oriental Dragon Team, which has not had a counterattack or shot in more than 30 minutes, suddenly launched a counterattack from the side under the command of Jiang Mu. The winger Li Feng quickly formed a single-knife trend, but Ajax's goalkeeper Van der Sar is not comparable to Alkmaar and Brendan's goalkeeper. He is the goalkeeper of a later generation. Van der Sar quickly attacked and blocked Li Feng's single-knife ball at the moment of Li Feng's shot and saved Ajax.

The Oriental Dragons' counterattack scared Ajax into a cold sweat. Head coach Olson quickly came forward to stabilize the players, asked them not to attack, contract the three lines backwards, and tried his best to ensure their safety in the backcourt.

The first half passed quickly, and Ajax and the Oriental Dragons tied.

After the beginning of the second half, Ajax wanted to bully the Oriental Dragons for their lack of experience and launched a surprise attack at the beginning. However, the Oriental Dragons were already prepared. From the first second, they strictly defended all fronts and took advantage of Ajax's defensive loopholes to launch a counterattack.

Twenty minutes later in the second half, Ajax, who has Laudrup and Litmanin, dared not attack again. He was afraid that if he was hit by the Oriental Dragons, but he did not have time to win back, so he was very cautious to leave five people in the front court to attack, leaving six in the midfield and backcourt, and began to slow down the rhythm and the Oriental. The Dragons fight a war of attrition. This is the tactic formulated by Olson before the game. It's better if he can score early. If he can't score early, he will be dragged to the penalty shootout without being scored by his opponent. Then they will win. Amateur players and professional players beat the goalkeeper one by one, which is a 100% loss, and there is no possibility of winning.

Jiang Mu is very smart, but after thinking about it, he understands Ajax's intention, but he doesn't want to change. In the game with Ajax, the Oriental Dragons have no possibility to attack at all. The attack can only be to die, and he can't even find the body.

Jiang Mu waved his hand to the players who were eager to try, signaling them to continue to play the game according to their own tactics. Don't be moved by their opponents. It is not the fault of the Oriental Dragons. As the leader of Dutch football, Ajax, who is full of superstars, must be responsible for the quality of the game. He believes that the fans around him will give Aja. Cox exerted pressure instead of asking a fourth-level amateur team to attack well.

Jiang Mu's expectation was good. Ajax did not dare to invest the power of attack. The Oriental Dragons strictly guarded the rear and did not move, and the game became very boring. That is, several stars of Ajax harassed the front court, but the Eastern Dragons returned to defend, almost two people took care of them, and more hands that were almost foul. Duan, the threat of hurting people, under such a defense, no matter how good the skills and cooperation of Ajax's attacking players are, they can't break the goal of eleven people.

The neutral fans on the sidelines were quickly bored. They began to shout "the names of Laudrup, Litmanan, DePaul and other stars, and then cheered Ajax loudly. Then Ajax's own fans were also angry. The team playing a fourth-tier amateur league was so timid, which was not like that. Ajax, who dominates Europe, doesn't have the image of the Dutch hegemon. They also cheered together. Originally, Ajax fans around the court were the most, but now almost all of them have become fans of the Oriental Dragons, cheering for Ajax.

Under the pressure of his fans' defection, Ajax couldn't stand it, especially Olson, who was sarcastically and scolded by the fans. The dirty words were unbearable. He had to continue to invest his offensive force at the last moment and try to get rid of the Eastern Dragons in 90 minutes and save a little face.

Ajax's adventure has brought them a lot of opportunities. At the last moment, the strength and attention of the Oriental Dragons are declining, and it is more difficult to withstand Ajax's pressure, constantly giving Ajax a chance to shoot near the penalty area.

But eager to seize the opportunity, the highly nervous Ajax did not seize the opportunity. Between 80 and 85 points, they hit the goalpost twice in a row, and a shot hit their partner's arm, otherwise they would have scored at least three goals.

At this time, I saw the discipline and tenacity of the Oriental Dragons. They were busy but not chaotic. After making a mistake, they could correct it in time and always kept the goal.

At the 88th minute of the game, Ajax's central defender Frank. There was a low-level mistake in passing between Debor and the back. The back stepped on a piece of ice when passing back, slipped under his feet, and directly sent the ball to the foot of Ke Liang, the number one killer of the Oriental Dragons.

Ke Liang was so happy to receive this big gift. He smoothed the ball and went straight to the penalty area.

At this moment, central defender De Boer and his teammates are still back to the goal. When they turn around, Ke Liang has formed a situation of single-knife against goalkeeper Van der Sar.

This is a single knife that determines the outcome!

At this time, the whole court was silent, and no one spoke. Only the ploping heartbeat and the rapid breathing when they couldn't hold their breath were heard.

Ajax's head coach Olson's eyes were straight, just like a wooden clay sculpture. Desperation almost twitched the muscles of his face.

Jiang Mu's expression was not much better. He clenched his hands, his nails were pinched into the meat, his teeth clenched tightly, and his eyes stared at Ke Liang with the ball for a moment. I can't help praying for the goal in my heart. Hold on! Ke Liang! Be sure to hold it! This is a kill!

"From various data analysis, it is impossible for Ke Liang to beat Ajax's goalkeeper Van der Sar. This goalkeeper is quite excellent." At this time, the sound of "Cang'e I" sounded in Jiang Mu's mind.

"Data is not everything! Maybe Van der Sar slipped. Jiang Mu roared angrily. Now he finds that it is not a good thing to have a smart computer. It is annoying to know in advance that the results are almost as good as movie spoilers.

"Only one percent of luck." Chang'e No. 1 seemed to feel Jiang Mu's mood. After saying this, he stopped retorting.
