"Who is the hottest player so far this season?"

"Captain Ajax, Luis Suarez!"

"Shot 23 goals in 14 games, and also created 6 assist opportunities for teammates!"

"Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, even Bayern Munich, who has always only stared at his back garden, is paying attention to this crazy Uruguayan striker!"

"After the season is over, Ajax may not be able to keep this captain!"

"Every year, we have to rely on the sale of the captain to obtain funds, which has become a practice for the Eredivisie giants!"

In European football, although the Dutch media is not a small role that no one cares about, they are absolutely unable to compare with the four giants of England, Germany, Italy and Spain.

But in September 2009, they really showed their faces in front of their colleagues across Europe.

Suarez has also become a player in the limelight during this period, and even surpassed the Barcelona king who just won the UEFA Best Player Award - the new generation Maradona and Leo Messi.

After 9-0, he led the team to sweep the Dutch second-tier team Apadorn 7-0 in the Dutch Cup, defeating Theatre 4-0 in the ninth round of the league, and in these two games he played a hat trick!

Almost everyone who pays attention to football games knows that in Ajax, Netherlands, there is a player who is frantically brushing his goal data. He has scored more goals in the past two months than most forwards in two seasons!

Under the shining glory, the figures of other Ajax players will of course be much dimmed, and Long Shute, who had turned the tide in the Champions League qualifiers before, could hardly find any shadow.

Who made him just a defensive midfielder now?

If it is in Italy, someone may pay a little attention to his existence, but this is the Netherlands!

Only players who can score goals can attract attention.

As long as you can score goals continuously, you will be the focus of everyone's attention!

As for a defensive midfielder...

No one criticized him for killing offensive football, beautiful football, artistic football... He should be content!

Since entering the national team match day in September, Long Shute has played 5 consecutive games in 16 days. Whether it is the Champions League group stage, the Eredivisie, or the Dutch Cup, he has not missed a single game, and he played 90 minutes in each game.

A total of one goal and one assist were scored in five games. Of course, such data cannot be compared with the lunatic Suarez, but he already feels that his technical and tactical level is slowly improving little by little.

Hard training is certainly the foundation, but a stable first-team game opportunity, especially a big scene like the Champions League, is more important to promote the progress of a young player.

The only problem is that... the two games in a row for a week finally made his physical fitness slightly worse.

Originally, the double competitions in a week had no effect on him at all, but during this period he had just activated the master-apprentice learning function, and his physical fitness was consumed twice as much. With the extra training, even the Iron Man could not bear it.

After all, he is still a flesh-and-blooded body, not an omnipotent iron warrior who does not eat or drink. Faced with such intensive schedules as 5 games in 16 days, Long Shute could only temporarily cancel the extra training every day, first of all, to ensure the results of daily training. He only carried out a small amount of extra training for ball control and dribbling when his body really has spare energy.

His "rational" performance made the coaching staff feel relieved. If he continued to practice like this, and his body did not have any symptoms of fatigue, they were worried that major medical institutes in Amsterdam would pull him into the laboratory and take out eight pieces for scientific dissection...

Competition, rest, training, competition...

This is the most true portrayal of Longshute's daily life.

It was September 28th in a blink of an eye. According to the schedule, he followed the team to the northeast of Britain.

There, they will challenge their second opponent in the Champions League group stage - the Reds Liverpool.

In the afternoon of the same day, the entire Ajax team arrived at the competition venue to conduct pre-match adaptation activities.

Long Shuteke is not unfamiliar with Anfield Stadium. Four years ago, as a youth training trainee in Everton, he visited the stadium twice with the first team and the youth team, and each time impressed him.

This stadium is not big, it looks a little dilapidated, and its facilities are not advanced. It only has 45,000 fan seats, which is similar to the Amsterdam Stadium in Ajax. Compared with Old Trafford, Camp Nou, Bernabeu, and Allianz, it can only be considered a second-rate stadium.

But whenever Liverpool hosts a home game, 40,000 fans sang the world-famous team song "You Never Walk Alone" in the stands. When the red crowd rolls in Anfield, it is definitely the most fanatical stadium in Europe!

Long Shute clearly remembers that when he first watched the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool here, the huge noise sounded in his ears, which made him almost unable to hear the voices of his teammates around him for two hours. The ferocious Liverpool fans were so excited that they raised their middle fingers at Everton fans that he couldn't sleep all night.

This stadium made him truly feel the shock brought by football for the first time, and it undoubtedly had an unusual and special significance for his football career.

Now...it's tomorrow...

He is about to challenge the overlord of England's football on this court.

There are also those football superstars who shocked them four years ago.

And who will his opponent be?

-

"Liverpool is a great team. As the club with the largest number of trophies in England, their brilliant historical achievements deserve everyone's respect. Benitez is also an excellent coach. The famous night in Istanbul is the best proof. Although it was a pity that he failed to win the league championship last season, his results in Liverpool's transformation are obvious to all. They have also achieved the best results of the team since the founding of the Premier League."

After adapting to the venue, Van Basten soon appeared in the press room of Anfield Stadium. Facing the English media, he lowered his posture and won a series of victories to praise his opponent's greatness.

Sure enough, when he heard about Istanbul, Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez immediately showed a reserved smile, which was the greatest classic in his coaching career!

Benitez, who had almost bald foreheads, said modestly: "Ajax is also a giant team with a long history and brilliant record, especially in training young players. Many great stars come from Ajax's youth training camp, and Mr. Van Basten is an outstanding representative, hahaha," he laughed humorously, "This season, their captain Suarez has attracted attention from all over Europe. I have no doubt that they have trained a player with superstar potential. As long as he is allowed to take a bigger stage, his potential will inevitably be infinitely broad."

Van Basten couldn't help but stare:

Benitez is clearly hinting to everyone: Suarez is about to leave Ajax!

This is blatantly shaking the morale of our army!
Chapter completed!
