Chapter 34
Chapter 34: Long shot score
Mark is now begging to head coach Koeman as a winner, but obviously head coach Koeman is unwilling to sell Mark's favor. Koeman thinks that the means of managing the locker room should be tough, so that players know that only coaches are the bosses in the locker room, no doubt about it.
"Marc, you need to say nothing." Koeman interrupted Mark directly and made the final verdict: "John, you will report to the reserve team tomorrow. Okay, everyone will change their clothes and we will go home."
"Ao!!" Ajax's players took a shower and changed their clothes, then took their team's bus back to Amsterdam. O'Brien sat in the last row. On the way, O'Brien didn't say a word, and Ajax's players didn't come to say hello to him. Now he has been completely isolated. Maybe he can find his own spring when he goes to the reserve team, but it is obvious that Ajax's first team now has no place.
Mark doesn't care about O'Brien's mood now, he is in a good mood anyway. He sang and danced with his teammates around him, and looked particularly happy.
It was already late at night after returning to Amsterdam. The head coach gave the players a day off because they were very tired from the away game, not only physically but also mentally, so proper rest is very helpful to the players.
The holidays are of no significance to Mark at all. His girlfriend is not by his side and his parents have returned to China, so now he is alone and has no need to rest. Moreover, Mark has become a habit of training every day, so Mark decided to go to the club's equipment room as usual during the holidays and train physical strength. Moreover, Mark has also improved his skills in the "Dream Space". Mark is now very dissatisfied with his skills, especially the shooting. In addition to Mark's previous character bursting in the youth team, after Mark also scored a defender tackle-style goal, Mark seemed to have not kicked the football in with his feet.
"This won't work," Mark thought to himself: "A good player wants his comprehensiveness, and I must practice shooting."
Mark's shooting is naturally in the secret of "dream space", and he wants to surprise those who say he will not score with his feet.
It has been half a year since Mark came to the Netherlands. As the training progresses, Mark himself feels that he has improved greatly in terms of physical strength and bounce, so Mark only needs to increase his control over the ball in training shooting skills.
"I think you train your long-range shooting ability first, this is the most suitable for you," Freeman in the space suggested.
It makes sense for Mark to listen to it. He wants to increase his strength now, and the speed of long shooting is proportional to his strength.
"Okay, it's just a long shot." Mark nodded and agreed to the proposal. Now Mark's training program has added another item, and the honor points consumed are a little more, but this is not a problem for Mark, who has performed well recently.
Ajax's next results seemed to have won consecutive victories just like Mark's training speed.
On February 15th, Ajax continued his away journey, and Mark once again played well in the match against Warrendam, assisting Ibrahimovic to score a goal, then creating a penalty kick, and scored by Van der Fate, with Ajax winning 2-0.
In the 22nd round, Ajax returned to home court, Van der Fate scored the only goal in the game, Ajax defeated Twente 1-0.
In the 23rd round, Ajax played again to challenge Udre Detachment away. Mark performed well in the midfield and scored a goal, but Udrecht took advantage of the Ajax defender's mistake to tie the score at the last moment. Ajax lost the three-point winning streak and ended, but Ajax remained unbeaten.
In the 24th round, Ajax challenged Valvik, who ranked 11th away. This time, Hetinga, on the defense, took advantage of a corner kick and headed the ball to score the only goal. Ajax took away three-pointers away.
In the 25th round, Ajax returned to his home court again to face the fifth-ranked Lodda team. In this game, Ajax got rid of the previous weak offense and scored three goals in the first half. He won the key game with a score of 4-2 in the whole game.
Eindhoven, who ranked second, lost 1-0 to Feyenoord. Ajax is now leading Eindhoven and the league championship is close.
Now Mark has moved to his new house to live in. After being designed by Colos, the room of the silent supervisor was renovated. Only now Mark has realized the luxury of a capitalist country.
In fact, Mark is also Liu Laolao who goes to the Grand View Garden to see everything. Mark's villa is of medium level in the Netherlands and cannot even be considered high-end. However, for Mark, who often lives in a small apartment of 40 square meters, this villa is simply too luxurious. However, luxury is luxury. This renovation costs Mark's more than 100,000 euros. This can almost buy another house similar to this villa. However, Mark thinks it is worth it. Isn't it just to make money just to spend it? Moreover, Mark, who lives in the villa, enjoys the life of the rich.
That is, there is a servant serving her, and Mark can finally say goodbye to takeout. In Mark's room, there is a female chef from China named Yu Meng, who is from Hangzhou. It seems that her husband applied for her. However, because the Dutch flower world has given her husband greater ambitions. In order to have a better future, he married his female boss. The abandoned Yu Meng can only help in a Chinese restaurant in the Netherlands. However, since his guarantor is her husband, she has lost her source of life since her husband divorced him, and her visa has expired. She has to hide from the people of the Immigration Bureau every day. Although the dishes she cooks are delicious, no restaurant dares to use such a person, because once the Immigration Bureau finds that there are illegal workers in a hotel, they will face heavy punishment or even suspend business.
Once, when Mark was treating Lao Sun to dinner in a Chinese restaurant, he happened to meet Yu Meng working in a restaurant. Mark heard that Yu Meng's life experience is quite pitiful. She has a child in China. Now everyone around him envies her. She has no face to return to China, so she can only hide and work in a restaurant.
Moreover, Yu Meng, who is not familiar with the place, is often harassed by some Dutch people. Because the Dutch sexual profession is open, many people are still preparing to engage in transactions with Yu Meng, but they are all rejected by Yu Meng.
After listening to the boss's speech, Mark felt that she was very pitiful, but Mark was not a person with a lot of love. When he saw someone, he would take him home to take care of her. In that case, even if Mark earns 400,000 euros a week, it would not be enough for him to develop his charity.
But Lao Sun gave Mark an idea and said, "Mark, don't you just need a servant? You can hire Yu Meng. You don't know, Yu Meng's dishes are delicious. If it weren't for the labor certificate, she would have become the chef of the hotel."
"Then can you let me taste your craft?" Mark also became interested and said to Yu Meng: "If your craft is really good, maybe I can hire you."
Yu Meng nodded and went to the kitchen to fry two dishes. When Mark ate it, he turned out to be the first-class color, aroma and taste. Such chefs are of big restaurants in China. Unexpectedly, they would even eat such delicious food in China.
Mark immediately called Momo and asked him to arrange Yu Meng's labor certificate. Then, he took Yu Meng to his villa without obtaining the labor certificate. Yu Meng was simply grateful for Mark's careful arrangement, and he even wanted to kneel down for Mark.
Mark naturally couldn't accept Yu Meng's kneeling. In fact, Yu Meng had done Mark a favor with the two things. After all, it's easy to find people who can clean and cook, but not many people can do both.
After Yu Meng arrived at Mark's house, he cleaned up the house in an orderly manner. Mark was also very satisfied with this, so he didn't have to run to him every day. Moreover, Yu Meng could be at any time. Although Momo could do this, if Mark was hungry at night and wanted to eat something, he couldn't call Momo to cook a meal for him and then let him leave. Moreover, the Chinese restaurants at night were resting, and there was basically no takeout. Now Yu Meng's appearance solved this problem.
During this period, Momo fully demonstrated her ability to do things and soon applied for a labor certificate for Yu Meng. Now Yu Meng no longer needs to hide from the ***. However, there is a problem that Yu Meng's Dutch language is always out of standard. Although Yu Meng can speak English, he can only speak some daily language in Dutch.
The servant Mark is looking for now needs an all-rounder. In the future, Yu Meng will be the job of buying vegetables and other things. How can he do if he can't speak Dutch? However, Yu Meng, who has stabilized, has shown her eagerness to learn, and her Dutch language is also improving quickly.
"Sister Yu, why are you so delicious?" Mark is not used to calling Yu Meng's name directly. After all, Yu Meng is more than ten years older than him, so Mark calls him Yu Meng Sister Yu. Yu Meng was not very adaptable at the beginning, but Mark insisted on calling her like this every day.
"I have been interested in cooking since I was a child, and as long as I have eaten, I can imitate 70% or 80% of the dishes," Yu Meng said embarrassedly. After all, it should not be a good thing to say that a woman can eat.
But Yu Meng's words surprised Mark. He suddenly felt that Yu Meng would also have a cookie plug-in, which is the same as his football plug-in. However, Mark would not be so stupid to ask Yu Meng's question because he knew that it was just a fool.
"This is amazing," Mark praised: "If you don't become a chef with such talent, it will be a loss to the Chinese chef industry. You should know that a complex dish consists of dozens or hundreds of ingredients. You can know that it is 700 to 80% of it is simply amazing."
After hearing Mark's praise, Yu Meng smiled embarrassedly and did not continue to say anything.
Mark felt that he was so happy that he could find treasures in this way. If he opened a Chinese restaurant and hired Yu Meng as the chef in the future, he would have a prosperous business and a wealth of money.
But this is impossible. If Mark doesn't play football, his life will be left with half. No matter how much money Mark earns, he will have no life to spend it.
So football is still Mark is going to pursue the most important career now.
On March 21, in the 26th round of the Eredivis, Ajax played against Vidiz, who ranked 16th at home. Mark still started in this game. Since Mark first appeared on behalf of Ajax for a substitute, he has not missed Ajax's first team for one minute and was not replaced in the middle. Now Ajax fans are called Mark "Iron Swan". This title also expresses Ajax fans' love for Mark.
However, this game is destined to be unforgettable to the entire Ajax fans, because Mark set a record in this game.
"Mark seems to only shoot with his head, and his feet are simply at the level of a primary school student." The local media of Feyenoord commented on Mark, and in order to confirm that their evaluation was correct, they also found many Feyenoord's bricks. Looking at the special films they specially made to interpret how bad Mark's shooting skills are.
Of course, they chose this special film specially. Mark rarely shot with his feet. Most of the time he inserted the assist and used headers to solve the battle. That's because Mark believed that since he wanted to score the ball, he should use the method he was best at. Obviously, headers are what Mark is best at, and it's not that Mark really can't shoot. He just has a relatively poor ability.
When Mark was against Feyenoord, he shot directly on the crossbar and then scored by him. Mark's shooting move was very good. However, Feyenoord's local media naturally would not reveal their own scars. They habitually ignored the shots of Mark's goal and only played the shots of Mark's missed or high. At the same time, with Mark's regretful expression after the shot, everyone couldn't help but believe that Mark is really a player who can't shoot.
"You said I can't shoot, and I have made a special discussion. I'll shoot for you to see." Mark shouted angrily after seeing the special discussion on TV that he couldn't shoot.
Fortunately, Mark's room has good sound insulation and no one heard Mark's shouting, otherwise there would be more news tomorrow.
Mark participated in the game with such a mood. Witters ranked 16th this season, scoring 27 goals and conceding 44 goals, and his defensive ability was extremely poor. Now they faced Ajax's super offensive firepower, which scored 64 goals in 26 rounds, almost everyone knows the result of the game.
Ajax has no reason to capsize at home, it is not a contest between the same level at all, but now Mark is trying to prove to Wester that he is not a player who can only head and shoot.
Head coach Koeman seemed to be in order to cooperate with Mark's momentum and let him serve as the arrowhead of offense. Van der Fate and De Jong were arranged to be responsible for organization and defense in the midfield, and Mark mainly intervened in the offense. After the opening, Mark was full of firepower and had been completely liberated. After Mark was frequently intervened and used long shots to threaten Vettel's players.
"It seems that Mark is full of momentum in this game," commentator Wang Bing said to the broadcast hall: "He seems to have received the stimulation of Feyenoord's media in this game. He is in the penalty area where he frequently plays, but he has not yet got any good opportunities. He is still using his header to attack."
In the tenth minute of the game, Mark still inserted the attack. Van der Fate passed the ball and directly explained to Ibrahimovic's head. Ibrahimovic stood in the penalty area like a bunker and headed the ball back to Mark who inserted it. After Mark met the ball, he directly shot with a long shot without adjusting.
The football flew directly into the net like a cannonball. Vettel's goalkeeper didn't even have time to react. He seemed to be frightened by Mark's shot.
"goooooooooooooooooooal!! Mark's long shot was so powerful that he wouldn't shoot with his feet, let those people open their eyes and see." The commentator on the scene was also shouting wildly to cheer Mark up: "This shot is so beautiful, the perfect combination of angle and strength."
"Ao!!!" The whole arena was in full swing, and the Ajax players were all surprised. They didn't expect Mark to make such a shot. Didn't Mark use headers to score before, but the more Mark has, the more fans like it, because this will give fans a better game and goal.
Mark's shot was also slapped on Feyenoord's media's face. After scoring the goal, Mark ran towards the home fans. When Mark ran to the position of the broadcast camera, he raised his right foot that had just shot and pointed with his finger.
That means it seems to be saying, I used this foot to kick the football in. Didn’t you say I wouldn’t shoot with my feet? Then you can see this foot clearly.
The broadcasting camera also gave Mark's foot a close-up close-up at the right time, so that the entire fans watching the game in front of the TV could remember Mark's foot.
"Mark is so funny," the fans in the bar were also talking: "This is so powerful, it's really the pride of our Chinese players."
The final score was five to zero. Ajax defeated his opponent. Mark scored one goal, assisted against two goals. He was rated as the best player after the game. Mark did not celebrate how many times he was named the best player, but what excited Mark the most was that he could finally score a long-range goal.
Chapter completed!
