August 8, 2009.

There was another thunderous joy over the Amsterdam Arena.

The song "Ajax I love you" also resounded throughout the stadium again.

Amid the cheers of more than 40,000 fans, the black-haired player in a red robe was celebrating in the corner flag area.

Behind him are ten equally young and energetic teammates, each with the joy of victory on his face.

Behind these eleven players, the electronic screen in the corner of the court shows the time and scores.

90+1 minute, injury stoppage time, 4:1.

Home team Ajax is in front, and away team Valvik is in the back.

Van Basten on the coach's seat had a calm expression of "it should be so". His smile was full of confidence, but he still had a hint of the pride and reserve of the winner.

Not far away, Valwick head coach Luther Brude was not even unwilling and struggling after falling behind. He just sighed helplessly, took two steps forward, stretched out his right hand towards Van Basten, and shook his head with a wry smile:

"I lost to you, Marco."

Although he knew that his opponent was completely in comparison with him in Dutch football, Van Basten also maintained his demeanor. He stretched out his right hand to hold the other party, and then comforted him politely.

Before his voice could get into Brude's ear, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.

"Drip!Drip!Drip!"

"Ajax won this league victory without bloodshed, congratulations to Van Basten!"

Dutch TV guest Storm Janssen exclaimed:

"Because the players' physical fitness has not fully recovered only three days apart from the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, Van Basten decisively adopted a large-scale rotation lineup. Only Soleimani started in the previous game. This adjustment is undoubtedly very scientific. The main players have received sufficient rest, and the substitutes have also obtained the opportunity to show their abilities..."

"Your comment is too one-sided, Storm," commentator Hans Kudell sneered, "This game only proves one thing... If you really rely on these substitutes, Ajax would probably not be able to solve the problem smoothly with a newly promoted team like Valvik! Until the 60th minute, they still couldn't break through the opponent's goal, but were scored by the opponent using the counterattack opportunity, which led to Suarez, who should have gotten rested, having to go into the game..."

Although Kudell was not tactful enough, it was a true portrayal of the whole game: perhaps because of the lack of tacit understanding, these substitutes seemed enthusiastic and lacked in thinking for most of the time. Faced with a weak team like Valvik who had just been promoted from the second division, although they could play three times the attack opportunity of their opponents, they never formed a real threat.

When Valvik broke the deadlock in the second half, Van Basten could no longer pretend to be calm and sent three frontcourt players, Snow, Suarez and Isati.

Such adjustments did have an immediate effect. Suarez only took 20 minutes to kick his head and scored a hat trick, helping the team achieve two consecutive league wins in the new season, and also preventing Van Basten's rotation tactic from failing halfway as soon as it was implemented.

If we only look at the results, Ajax not only scored three points, but also gave most of the main players a rest and trained bench players, which was a three-killing victory.

But to enlarge the background of all this, a traditional giant like Ajax, who faces an unknown new team with a semi-main lineup, cannot gain an advantage... Such a reality may make some old fans feel sad.

-

But the one who was most sad was not the fans, but Long Shute, who enjoyed the 90-minute game in the stands.

In this game... he failed to make it to the team's roster.

The reason is simple... Assistant coaches Van Tskip and Witzger, physical coach Bertrand, and team doctor Van Donld unanimously determined that his physical and mental state were not allowed to play!

In other words, the training maniac Long Shi special who practices for himself every day... was banned from the team!

As a representative of the coaching team, Vanskip warned him unceremoniously: "If you ignore the training plan we have set for you, still don't cherish your body, and give yourself unlimited extra training, Ajax doesn't mind disqualifying you from the official competition in all echelons."

Team Doctor Van Tangeld has not forgotten to add: "Don't try to train secretly without hiding it from us, your body will not help you hide it."

Even coach Van Basten left a vicious sentence: "A player who doesn't know how to cherish his body, even a once-in-a-century genius, I won't reuse it!"

The Chinese young player, who was surrounded by enemies and was isolated and helpless, immediately admitted his defeat. The plan to practice 10,000 more shots within a week was cancelled directly, and even the intensity of the dribbling event that has been practicing diligently has been reduced a lot.

Yes, his system can indeed help design the highest intensity training plan that the body can withstand, but that kind of devil training will inevitably squeeze most of his energy. Although the damage caused to the body can be gradually recovered over time, it still requires time and rest, right?

More importantly, the coaching staff believes that he has consumed a lot of physical fitness in a high-intensity game like the Champions League qualifiers, and then practiced extra work, and it will only take a matter of time before his physical collapse.

It cannot be blamed for this. Van Basten and his colleagues do not know that there is a system around Long Shute that can tailor the training plan for him. They are just fulfilling their responsibilities to stop a young man who "blindly practices to quickly improve his technical level" from "self-harmful body".

So Long Shute could only listen to the coaches' kindness, but even so, his training intensity was still much higher than that of the second-school player in the team...

Under the current situation of Ajax, the club needs players and soldiers to concentrate all their energy on daily training and competitions. Since Long Shute has "lost", the coaching staff is willing to make him a model for all young people in the team who are active and diligent.

The enthusiasm of young people comes quickly, but it fades quickly. With such a young player between the main and the substitute, he appears enthusiastically around him every day, and his teammates' enthusiasm and competitive spirit will be stimulated accordingly.

Therefore, they finally stopped suppressing this young man's enthusiasm for training.

There is less than a week before the first round of the fourth round of the Champions League qualifiers.

But before welcoming Fiorentina... Ajax has another game.

On August 15, just three days before the qualifying match, Van Basten took his disciples to the southern Dutch city, Eindhoven.

They want to challenge themselves to tie for the three traditional Eredivisie teams... Eindhoven.

It is the one who trained the "alien" Ronaldo, the "lone wolf" Romario, the "king of the small penalty area" Van Nistruei, the "three Dutch musketeers" Gulit, and the "Pandez" Robben's Eindhoven.
