On December 5, the 16th round of the league.

In the absence of nearly half of the main force, Van Basten came to Udrecht with a tough bullet.

God is indeed going to go against him. On this day, the first snowfall of the Galgenward Stadium in the winter of 2009 started...

Utrecht is a team that has always been ranked in the middle, without any glorious history and no well-known stars worth mentioning.

They have no grudges and grudges with Ajax, but they will not easily give up three-pointers. They have the advantage of the home court and Ajax, composed of a defeated player, actually played well...

Like England, the daylight in the Netherlands is particularly short after winter. The game has just reached 70 minutes and the sky is almost half dark.

Fortunately, the stadium administrators in Utrecht are very experienced. They have already turned on the lighting equipment around, and the stadium is always like daytime.

Under the lights, the score on the big screen is also particularly obvious.

Udrecht 0, Ajax 0.

-

The away game is zero to zero, which is an acceptable result most of the time, but Van Basten's face is still not very good-looking.

Earlier, Twente, had a goal battle, captured Nijmegen's stadium with a score of 4-3, so if he got a draw here, it would only widen the gap between Ajax and Twente, who topped the list, from 1 point to 3 points.

Considering that the team's injury situation has not improved much, Van Basten is in great need of a victory.

But the reality is very cruel.

In the 73rd minute, Ajax's offensive was cut off by Udrecht, and the home team immediately launched a counterattack. The starting midfielder Wunong Anita used an irrational foul to knock the offensive player to the ground. The referee directly expelled him with a red card!

Van Basten watched his disciples enter the player's passage with his head lowered, but he couldn't even say a word of comforting him.

Because he really doesn't want to pay attention to this brainless guy!

Didn't Anita see it?

Long Shute, who partnered with him in the midfield, has completely increased his speed. In just half a second, he can catch up with the offensive player!

Why do you have to take a flying shovel?!

Is skating on the cold and slippery turf...is it fun?

-

Seeing that Ajax, who was already incomplete, was missing another player, the Udrecht players who played at home suddenly had an idea.

In the last 15 minutes of the game, they were already preparing to withdraw their troops and attacked the visiting team again.

Just get one point...they are not satisfied!

-

The snow was getting heavier and the wind was a little bit cold. The players on the bench all shrank their bodies into thick warm clothing.

The cheering sounds in the stands were much smaller. Dutch fans were not as crazy as Russia and England fans. They could take off their shirts in the wind and snow, revealing their bodies covered with chest hair, and making fanatical singing without trembling. They had already put on windproof hoods, wrapped scarves, and exposed their eyes only.

Utrecht is not a big team, and the local economy cannot be called prosperous. The stadium that can accommodate 24,000 people has not been filled for many years. Especially in such rainy and snowy weather, there are only one-quarter of the stadium sitting in the fans, which looks particularly deserted.

These are the most loyal fans of Utrecht. Although they wrap themselves tightly, their eyes are always on the players who keep attacking. When the players complete a wonderful outing, a good goal, and a chance to shoot, they can't help but jump up excitedly.

Before they could land, many people exclaimed.

"Damn it!"

"It's that number 8 again!"

Someone stomped his feet hard and even spitted at them.

While the Utrecht fans were cursing, the black figure had already rushed out of the crowd in front of the Ajax penalty area!

-

As mentioned before, Ajax, who had one less fight, had to shrink his formation, while Udrecht's offensive line was getting higher and higher.

In the Netherlands, you never have to worry that your opponent will set up a real bus. Although they play the so-called "all-attack and all-defense", they always attach more importance to offense in their bones. Whether it is a wealthy family, a mid-range, or even a relegation team, if they are allowed to win uglyly or die on the road to attack... I am afraid everyone will choose the latter.

Even Van Basten, who has experienced ups and downs, is the same. He will never give up his pursuit of offense until he has to.

So at the last moment of the game, all Utrecht players pushed up, and almost all their defenders entered the 35-meter area of ​​Ajax, and everyone regarded these 15 minutes as a half-court offensive and defensive exercise for both sides.

Of course, Ajax had the opportunity to fight back, but the cold and slippery turf made both counterattacks end in vain. Even Nordic players like Lindgren and Romedal could not form a counterattack in such an environment. It would be even more difficult for others to make a difference.

There is only one person who doesn't think so!

Only Long Shute did not give up!

What a joke?!

Can't stand this little rain or snow?!

I'm in the outdoor stadium at more than 30 degrees below zero in Mohe. Oh, what kind of stadium is when practicing long-distance running on the ground with rough soil... These spoiled flowers probably fell asleep in the greenhouse long ago!

When did I see this warm geothermal system in the country?

The lowest temperature today is still above zero!

What's so scary about this little wind and snow?!

So he blocked the straight pass from the Udrecht player and raised his foot to his teammates not far away.

Then he shook his arms and stepped away his legs!

-

The night was deeper, the snowflakes seemed to be smaller, but the evening breeze was even more violent.

Lindegren is from Sweden. Of course, he would not be as afraid of the ice and snow as Suarez and others. However, after leaving his hometown for many years, he has gradually become accustomed to the climate of Amsterdam. In addition, other teammates were injured one after another, and he was a little timid with average psychological quality.

"Ras Muse!" He heard a voice coming from the wind, and his teammates were calling his name.

The football was kicked at his feet.

He subconsciously raised his head slightly, and a black hot wind swept through not far away in front of him!

That unparalleled sense of speed...

Lindgren didn't need to look at the number behind him to know the guy's name.

He swung his right leg and dropped it with force!

"Bang!"

-

Although not the absolute main force of the team, as a frontcourt player, Lindgren received tactical training from Van Basten like everyone else.

If you get a counterattack opportunity and Long Shute has already rushed up, then... pass the ball to him as soon as possible!

Kick forward with force! Give him a measurement in advance!

Lindgren's pass was very powerful because he wanted to make sure the football could fly over half of the court and finally land in front of Long Shute.

But as soon as he played football, he realized that he had made a big mistake!

The wind in the stadium...is stronger than before!

The ball regained a powerful acceleration under the blowing wind, flew directly over Long Shute's head without falling.

Lindgren couldn't help but hold his head with both hands.

He wasted the team's last chance to fight back!

My own pass is about to fly out of the bottom line!

But...that black wind... why haven't it stopped yet?

The strong wind... is still blowing violently!

Why did he speed up?!
Chapter completed!
