Chapter 27: Winning the opponent

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was still zero to zero, and no one could knock on the opponent's door. Although Ajax had a lot more chances in the first half than Utrecht, it was obvious that Ajax did not have any good absolute chances. Mark has now dispersed too much energy in the midfield with Utrecht even if he wanted to help the offense, there was no better way.

All Ajax players who came to the locker room were depressed. Since they did not score in the first half, the players knew that it would be even harder to play in the second half. That was because Utrecht would use tougher defense to disrupt their offense in the second half. The longer the time was, the more confident the Utrecht players would be.

"Brothers, we can't play like this in the second half. We need to fight against our opponents instead of letting our opponents fight against us. If this continues, we will not only accept punishment and practice for ten days, but also make Udrecht look down on us. We are the Ajax team, the entire Dutch king team. Brothers don't want to prove that we are stronger than all teams?" Mark took advantage of the fact that head coach Koemann had not come in yet. This is what Mark wanted to do most, because Mark doesn't like failure, especially such failure. Scoring three goals without conceding goals is not a problem for a team like Ajax. The thing now is that the players do not have a spirit of fighting.

"Okay said," at this time, head coach Koeman walked in and said, "In the second half, Babel played the left winger, Sneijder played the midfield. Mark, you played the forward, Zlatan, you played the right winger, you and Mark changed positions. Mark, your position is the front robber, I need you to keep running and intercepting in the frontcourt. Do you understand if you want to mess up the backcourt of Udrecht. "

After everyone nodded, Koeman arranged the next tactics on the tactical board, the positions where each player should appear next, and the routes when defending and offensively.

After the second half, everyone was shocked. Mark, who fought in the midfield in the first half, actually appeared at the forward position in the second half, and Ibrahimovic appeared on the right.

"Guide Ma, what is the intention of Ajax's substitution adjustment in the second half?" In the broadcast room of Liaoning TV, host Wang Bing asked the broadcast consultant Ma Lin around him.

"I think this issue is probably because Coach Koeman was not very satisfied with Ajax's offense in the first half. He asked Mark to play the striker to use his speed to hit the opponent's defense. After all, Mark's offensive ability is too wasteful in the midfield." Marin talked in front of the microphone.

"So that's the case. If it weren't for Coach Ma, we wouldn't have seen it," Wang Bing also said holding it aside.

The changes on the court were really surprised. Ajax actually used the tactic of pressing the whole game after the half-time game started. Mark frantically counterattacked in the frontcourt of Utrecht. Mark is now as excited as a hunting dog and encountering a rabbit. Almost every Utrecht defender will rush over to intercept the ball in less than a few seconds after taking the ball.

The advantage of Mark's tireless counterattack in the frontcourt is that Utrecht's pass error rate has increased. Almost every defender will choose to drive to the frontcourt with big feet. After all, Mark's speed is too fast. If he is accidentally interrupted, it will be a nightmare if the defender is intercepted. Therefore, Utrecht's attack is simply a mess. The consequence of the big feet kickoff is that the football is either destroyed by Ajax's players or directly obtained by Ajax's players and then continues to organize the attack.

Mark's hard work was not in vain. In the 55th minute, Mark's steal in the frontcourt really achieved results. Under Mark's press, Udrecht's defender did not stop the ball after receiving the ball. Mark directly cut the ball with a slippery tackle and then led it into the penalty area. With the goalkeeper in Udrecht attacking, Mark passed to the right to the unmarked Ibrahimovic, who was unmarked. Ibrahimovic directly pushed the ball into the empty goal and scored.

"gooooooooal!! Zlatan Ibrahimovic. What a beautiful goal."

"Great, this goal is so beautiful," commentator Wang Bing, in the broadcast hall of Liaoning TV, also said excitedly: "Ninety percent of this goal is credited by Mark. Ibrahimovic just needs to push the ball into the empty goal. Mark is simply the pride of China. What coach has trained such a player."

Marin, who was standing by, was also embarrassed to hear Wang Bing's words, because as the coach of the Liaoning team, Malin still knew some of Mark's stories. The waste defender was terminated because he offended someone in the club. Unexpectedly, he went to the Netherlands to shine. Is this the sorrow of Chinese football? Is Chinese football unable to discover the potential of players?

Of course, this topic needs to be thought about for a long time, and maybe he will never understand it in his life. Now he can only continue to pay attention to his fellow Liaoning villager's performance in Ajax.

"Look at what Ibrahimovic is doing. He pointed to the number behind Mark. That means that this goal is entirely Mark's credit." Commentator Wang Bing discovered an interesting scene on the court and said: "Ibrahimovic is an arrogant killer, but he will not do it easily. Unexpectedly, Chinese player Mark actually impressed this arrogant shooter."

After Ibrahimovic finished this action, the Ajax fans all applauded, and they seemed to be satisfied with Ibrahimovic's performance and were also happy with what Mark did.

"Thank you Mark, your pass is so comfortable," Ibrahimovic said, hugging Mark's neck.

"Haha, you're welcome, Zlatan, I'm just not very confident about my shooting skills. After all, such a good opportunity should be left to players with better shooting skills." Mark is to be honest. He is really not very confident about his shooting skills. Basically, Mark never shoots, because of position, Mark doesn't need to shoot. If the coach asks him to attack, he just needs to head the ball to solve the battle. Mark's experience is focused on defensive training.

Although Mark is telling the truth, Ibrahimovic was very happy when he listened. This is equivalent to complimenting his good shooting skills in disguise. Although Ibrahimovic is not a very unique striker now, he also likes to score goals. However, due to Koman's tactical requirements, Ibrahimovic's goal rate has not been very high, which is why he often provides support and assists to his teammates. But now Mark has appeared, and with Mark as support Ibrahimovic Ibrahimovic feels that he is so cool now.

The players in Utrecht were all stunned. The meat grinder midfielder who was painstakingly arranged by their head coach for 55 minutes, but they didn't expect that they would be ruined by Mark, the meat grinder striker. Now that they have conceded the goal, there is no need to be conservative.

Utrecht's head coach Boy, who has a hot temper and a tough temperament, remembers the whole of the Netherlands for a lifetime, is not a conservative coach. He played so depressed in this game because of tactical relationships. Now his desire to tie the game has failed. All he has to do is to attack and have a chance to win a draw or even overtake the game. So Boy directly replaced two offensive players to strengthen the team's offense.

Both players are forwards. Utrecht is now playing three forwards. The formation of 4333 is the same as that of Ajax. Utrecht is now going to attack with offense.

"Mark, go to the backcourt to defend." Head coach Koeman greeted Mark on the forward line. Because he had already scored a goal, Mark's mission had been completed. The next step is to rely on the team's offensive players to perform. Now Ajax's two forwards, Ibrahimovic and Babel, are all-round and tall, and the other is very fast and also have excellent skills. These two players are one high and one fast, which is simply a weapon for counterattack.

Moreover, there are two passers in the midfield, Van der Fatt and Sneed. Their footwork was not given in vain. Now Ajax has launched a counterattack steadily, and the defensive counterattack can also reduce the consumption of physical energy. After all, Ajax's players have consumed a lot of physical energy during this period.

Although Mark is the only one who competes in the frontcourt, Mark's physical fitness is incomparable to others. Who is Mark now? He is a person with a plug-in. No one in today's football world can compare with him. Although Mark's skills are not yet mature, one day Mark will surpass those well-known stars in history to become the most special existence.

Now when I return to the court, Utrecht kicked off in the midfield after the referee's whistle sounded. However, although Utrecht is a three-forward formation, Ajax's players were very focused in their mental power and still failed to make any fatal mistakes that Utrecht seized the opportunity to score.

The game is in a stalemate. The players in Utrecht are very anxious, and the players in Ajax are also very anxious. The players in Utrecht are anxious because they want to equalize the score as soon as possible, while the players in Ajax are only anxious because they want to expand the score as soon as possible.

So although the scene is dull, it is not lacking in passion. The players on both sides are constantly moving forward during fouls, and the referee's whistle sounds constantly.

However, in the 78th minute, Ajax finally seized an opportunity to rewritten the score. This was an opportunity for a set piece in the frontcourt. Mark ran to the frontcourt to fight for the header to Sneider outside the penalty area. Sneider directly took a long shot and scored.

"gooooooooal! Wesley Sneider scored, what a wonderful shot." The commentator shouted excitedly.

"So beautiful, Mark has assisted twice." In the commentary hall of Liaoning TV, Wang Bing, also shouted excitedly: "Mark today is simply unstoppable."

After scoring the goal, Sneider ran half a stadium to celebrate wildly. He is not a main player this season, so every goal is a good opportunity for him to increase the impression points of the head coach Koeman. Sneider ran to the coach's seat and hugged Koeman. He used this way to almost narrow the distance with the head coach.

There are twelve minutes left in the game, including injury stoppage time, which is about fifteen minutes. Ajax must score a goal after these fifteen minutes, and he cannot concede the goal to complete the harsh conditions given by head coach Koeman.

So after the Udrecht midfield kickoff, Ajax directly pressed fiercely in the midfield without retreating, and even the high center forward Ibrahimovic completed several fierce pressing movements.

In the 88th minute, Ajax's third goal arrived as scheduled. Utrecht made a cross from the middle and was headed by O'Brien. After Mark got the ball, he kicked forward with his big foot. Ibrahimovic played his height of 1.95 meters in the front. He headed the ball in the air and handed the ball to his forward partner Babel. After Babel got the ball, he was like a small truck and drifted past the defense of two Utrecht players in succession and then directly pushed the ball into the penalty area. Then, facing the goalkeeper who was attacking, he directly shot with his left foot. However, perhaps because of the character of Utrecht's goalkeeper's character, he actually saved the ball directly. Then before the goalkeeper of Utrecht had time to celebrate, a red and white figure appeared in front of the football and headed the ball into the net.

"goooooooooooal!! Mark scored a goal," the commentator shouted excitedly: "His speed is like lightning. He just kicked off the ball outside the penalty area. Now he has run into the opponent's penalty area and headed the ball for a while. Is Mark an alien? No, even an alien must not be as fast as Mark. How fast was his speed just now? In my opinion, it was within ten seconds. Is Mark who has run for 90 minutes still so full of physical strength? He is really a physical madman."

At this time, all the fans who watched the Ajax game in Chinese bars were also very happy. Everyone was happy for Mark's goal, and everyone picked up their glasses to drink and celebrated.

After scoring the goal, Mark ran to Babel and gave him a warm hug. If Babel hadn't had the shot after the continuous breakthrough just now, Mark would not have scored this time. Moreover, Babel wasted some time when he passed two Utrecht players to allow Mark to run to the penalty area in time, otherwise even if Mark was fast, it wouldn't be possible to run outside the penalty area outside the penalty area at once. That would not be running, it was teleportation.

"Haha, I did a good job today. After this game, we'll go to the Chinese restaurant for a meal together." Mark said next to him with Babel in his arms.

However, we have to celebrate after the game. After Mark scored a goal, he spent a lot of time. The fourth official also raised the sign in his hand at this time, and stopped in four minutes. As long as Ajax persisted in the last four minutes, he could defeat his opponent completely. All the players could also win the bet against head coach Koeman.

However, it seemed that everything was not as smooth as Mark imagined. In the last four minutes, Utrecht launched a crazy attack. Now Utrecht has completely given up the midfield defense, and all the players have squeezed into Ajax's penalty area.

In the 93rd minute, Udrecht got a corner kick. After the corner kick was taken, the football passed directly to Royha's feet because O'Brien was not staring at the person. At this time, there was no one around Royha's side. He raised his right foot and easily shot the football. The football flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Stellenburg wanted to save, but because there were too many people in the penalty area, I didn't know who the football hit and flew directly to the opposite direction of his. Stellenburg looked at the football that was about to fly into the goal in despair at this time, and felt unwilling to accept it.

At this time, Ajax's No. 44 directly slipped the ball and kicked the football out of the bottom line. This person was Mark, who was still saving the players' fate at the end.

"What are you all doing? Keep a close eye on the people around you. Do you want to undergo hell-like training?" Mark shouted to General Shin's teammates around him after eliminating the football.

Although O'Brien, an American who lost his position in defense, was eight years older than Mark, he still said nothing but defended him, and listened honestly to the scolding of this young man from China.

The Ajax player who was woken up by Mark raised his vigilance in the last minute and did not concede the ball after the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game. In the end, Ajax defeated Udre Detachment with a score of 3-0 at home.

After the game, head coach Koeman highly praised the team's hard work and victory on the court. Koeman said that if Ajax's players can perform like this game in every game, Ajax will defeat any opponent.

Of course, the players were very happy. Although the game was very thrilling, they won the game after all. The most important thing is that the double-training intensity training set by Koeman for the players will be invalidated. Of course, they are very happy with these players who are used to freedom.
Chapter completed!
