94. Galactic battleship strikes
On January 22, 2010, the second half of the Eredivisie League officially began.
On this rainy afternoon, relying on a free kick from Van der Wel, Ajax defeated Alkmaar 1-0, while their championship rival Twente was tied 0-0 by relegation Groningen. Van Basten's team was able to overtake and return to the top of the standings.
Van Basten originally thought that the 19th round of the league might become a turning point in the championship situation this season.
But reality tells him: You are thinking too much.
On January 27, another rainy afternoon, Ajax, who was on the bench, won a 1-0 victory over Nijmegen at home, winning a seat in the semi-finals of the Netherlands Cup.
Just three days later, they rushed to Feyenoord to prepare for the "Dutch National Derby" with their century-old rival Feyenoord.
Perhaps the temperature is too low, or perhaps the players have not fully recovered from the holiday, so there is no passion for this game.
Front court players of both sides frequently wrestled on the muddy grass, and defensive players represented by Long Shute became the protagonists of the game.
Under the "severe cold" of minus 2 degrees, Suarez's forward line was once again without any success. Ajax relied on Vertonhen's header and struggled to draw with Feyenoord one-to-one.
Twente, who was watching the tiger fight, took the opportunity to beat Roda JC 2-0, and the rankings of the two teams changed positions again.
Van Basten could only continue to sigh:
God, you just like playing with me so much?!

After February, most parts of the Netherlands finally became slightly warmer. Although it rained and snowed from time to time, the overall temperature was not as cold as before.
When the sun was revealed in the sky, Suarez, who had been silent for more than half a month, finally resurrected with full blood. He hit four goals alone in the 21st round of the league, killing Roda JC, who lost to Twente in the previous round of the league, and regained blood.
But Twente did not lose the chain either. They defeated Hercules 2-1 and continued to lead the standings.
Van Basten did not blame the world this time, because the 22nd round was a direct conversation between Ajax and Twente.
He is preparing to complete a sniper battle against Twente at his home court, Amsterdam Stadium, and use this to attack the championship opponent heavily, causing them to completely lose confidence.
But... Van Basten was ready for a week, but unexpectedly, things still happened.
When February 13 came, snowflakes suddenly fell over the Amsterdam Stadium...
Dutch fans are not as enthusiastic as English fans. When they see snowflakes all over the sky, most of the people who are afraid of the cold immediately return home, huddled on the sofa and watched TV with teapots. There are only a few thousand loyal fans left in the huge stadium, trembling in the stands, and the atmosphere at home is gone.
So Van Basten could only yell at the gray sky:
I'm going to the mud horse God!
Will you let people live?!
Is your place Mohe?
Why does it snow every day?!
In the heavy snow in the field, Suarez, who had just been resurrected, was frozen again, and Soleimani also disappeared into the snow. The two of them only contributed three shots and zero shots, which disappointed the fans sitting on the sidelines.
Fortunately, others stood up, and the young and energetic young player Dezeu helped the team start the first record with a long shot. Danish veteran Romedal, who is not afraid of the cold, and Serbian high center have expanded the score one after another. Long Shute, who is not afraid of the cold, uses a counterattack opportunity to lock the score at 4-0.
Ajax completed his revenge after a small loss to his opponent in the first round with a proud victory, and once again surpassed his opponent in the standings.
Van Basten bowed to God with satisfaction and began to plan for the next game.
The next game...is the Champions League quarterfinal.
Ajax faces Real Madrid at home.

After the single dog Longshute finally survived February 14, he suddenly heard the streets of Amsterdam were filled with two English words:
“real-madrid!”
What team is Real Madrid?
I think if I specifically describe the brilliant history of this club in one sentence, it would definitely be criticized for the word count.
It seemed as if overnight, Amsterdam was filled with white Real Madrid jerseys.
For the first time, Long Shute knew that the popularity of this Spanish club in Amsterdam was able to compete with the local overlord Ajax.
Oh no, it’s not a confrontation, it can even be said to be... crushing!
When Real Madrid's coaches and players arrived in the Netherlands on a luxury charter flight, the fans and media who went to greet them almost caused a serious traffic jam!
Even the commentator of Dutch TV said sourly: "The whole Netherlands seems to be occupied by the Galaxy warship!"
When Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini shook hands with Ajax coach Van Basten at the press conference at the Amsterdam Stadium, he and Ronaldo, who attended the meeting instantly turned the venue into their home court.
Even the media closest to Ajax abandoned the white swan as if they were walking, only to aim their spears and cannons at the coaches of Real Madrid. The spotlight flashed like they didn't have money.
"Ajax is a great team. They have won the Champions League trophy four times in history. Their youth training level is also world-famous. Real Madrid has also had many outstanding Dutch players. So I understand the characteristics of this team. We have made targeted arrangements. I believe that it will cause difficulties for them. Real Madrid pursues artistic football. I believe that Ajax is the same. I look forward to this becoming a wonderful game..."
Pei Gong, nicknamed "Chile Engineer", looks confident. He neither compliments his opponent too much nor makes his opponent feel too arrogant. Although as the coach of Real Madrid, he does have the qualifications to be arrogant.
But Ronaldo, who also sat on the rostrum, acted much more directly:
"To be fair, the Eredivisie is very different from the La Liga. Ajax and Real Madrid are not at the same level today. Although this is their home court, I don't think they can create any difficulties for us. Victory must belong to us. The only question we should consider is how to maximize our attack ability in the league."
Before he finished speaking, Peter Layton, a young reporter from the Dutch Telegraph, asked back: "Real Madrid has been in the quarterfinals for five consecutive seasons. Do you think you can make a breakthrough this year?"
Ronaldo glanced at the Dutch reporter who was ignorant of the world and looked disdainful:
"Yes, of course we are the final winner."
"Why?" Layton asked unwillingly.
C Luo shrugged his shoulders, raised his lips, showing a grin that could be called evil and crazy:
"Because we are Real Madrid."
Chapter completed!
