Lin Kedi’s first professional contract negotiation did not go as smoothly as expected.

And the team’s progress has not stopped.

The day of the 2017 European Super Cup will soon come.

Ajax arrived in Skopje, North Macedonia two days early.

Skopje is the capital of the Republic of North Macedonia and the largest city in North Macedonia. One-third of the population of North Macedonia lives here. It is also an ancient city with a long history. People have lived here 4,000 years ago. .

The European Super Cup will be held at the Toproski Stadium, Labriki's home stadium. This stadium can accommodate more than 35,000 people. It is the largest football venue in North Macedonia and is also the home of the North Macedonia national team. home court.

When Link's opponents stepped on the turf of this stadium, the players from Real Madrid happened to be in the half not far away from them.

"Defending the Champions League, the first club after the restructuring of the Champions League, the 12th Champions League champion, really the top team in the Champions League."

"What? Frankie, are you a Real Madrid fan? I remember you like Barcelona?"

"I'm not from Catalonia, so there's nothing wrong with lamenting how great Real Madrid is."

"However, it is really amazing to successfully defend the Champions League. Who do you want to exchange jerseys with after this game?"

"Exchanging jerseys, actually I want to find Modric and Kroos. I think my current playing style is very similar to Kroos, but I want to become a midfield master like Modric."

"You're so slow, forget it, and your playing style isn't like Kroos."

"You always say that!"

As De Jong spoke, he punched Lin Kedi on the shoulder, and the two started to quarrel.

"Hey, you haven't said who you want to exchange jerseys with."

"You can only think about changing after you win. How can you think about changing after losing."

"Do you think we can win?"

"Why don't you have a chance? You haven't read the news. Cristiano Ronaldo has not recovered from his injury for a long time. This game can't be solved. Moreover, Real Madrid has a lot more schedules than us this summer. In terms of physical condition, we are better than them. Plus, even us Our own players think we can’t win, and Real Madrid are even more so. When the time comes and we underestimate the enemy, maybe we can win? Or do you think the coach will just surrender?"

"Of course the coach won't, but objectively speaking it's hard for us to win. After all, our paper strength is so far behind."

"If football is only a better game than paper strength, then there is no need to play the game."

------------------

The day before the game, in the hotel conference room.

Ten Hag stands in front of the projection screen.

He looked at the players of the Ajax first team.

Expressing emotion.

Once upon a time, his opponent was the second team of the Bundesliga team. Later, he returned to the Eredivisie and began to compete with the Eredivisie team.

Now, he has arrived at Ajax, the biggest club in the Eredivisie, and the first official game he leads is against Real Madrid, the two-time Champions League champion, the biggest club in football history.

Now Ten Hag has no fear, only excitement and excitement. The greatest fun and interest of being a coach for him is to arrange the tactics and then watch the players complete the tactics, score goals, and win on the sidelines of the court. This is what he

fun.

Competing with powerful teams is definitely the greatest pleasure for him.

Therefore, he has been preparing for this game for a long time.

He believes that Real Madrid coach Zidane definitely did not prepare for this game as long as he did.

"Real Madrid, the champions of the Champions League for the past two years, swept Juventus 4-1 in last season's Champions League final. There is no doubt about their offense, and the BBC combination is very strong. But, fortunately, we will win the majority tomorrow

We don’t have to face that C tomorrow, Cristiano Ronaldo will not be there tomorrow, and Bell’s condition has also plummeted. So our defensive task tomorrow will largely fall on Benzema.”

"But Benzema is not the focus. We need to defend him, but we don't need to pay all attention to him. The focus tomorrow will be on their midfield and backcourt. Their offensive focus will not be on Ronaldo. Bell is not in good condition.

Under certain circumstances, set pieces may also be the focus of their offense, so we also need to defend."

"What I just talked about are our defensive response methods. Now it's time to talk about offensive tactics. The opponent must be 433, and we have to play 4231 double midfielders. Let me first talk about the roster for tomorrow's game."

When he said this, Lin Kedi could clearly feel that his teammates were highly focused.

Lin Kedi himself sat up involuntarily. He also wanted to know whether his good performance in the preseason was a reference option for head coach Ten Hahe.

It was one thing in the friendly pre-season games, but now it's true in the official games.

Seeing the expectant expressions on the players' faces, Ten Hag began to read out his list.

"Goalkeeper Onana."

"Left back Phil Gever, center backs Wobel and De Ligt, right back Feltman."

"Double defensive midfielder position and De Jong, front midfielder position Van de Beek."

"The left winger Lin Kemei, the center forward Dolberg, and the right winger Ziyech."

It can be said that this set is different from the preseason in many positions.

For example, central defender Wobel only played once in the preseason, but this game was straightforward.

In the five preseason games, the left back was Dykes. However, when it came time for the official game, the left back was replaced by Phil Gever, who had been playing as a central defender before.

There is also the center position. Previously, Huntelaar was used for most of the preseason. Even many media started to make a small hype about Huntelaar playing against his old club before the European Super Cup. As a result,

When it came to the official game, Huntelaar became a substitute. Dolberg, who had sometimes played on the wing and sometimes on the bench, returned to the center position.

As for the right winger, it is Ziyech. Ten Hag also did this in the preseason. Ziyech was stable in the left midfield position of the three midfielders under Bosz, and he was used.

His passing ability and series breakthrough ability, and under Ten Hag, the left-footed Ziyech is allowed to play the right wing position. The purpose is not to be too obvious, but to free up his offensive ability to play inside attacks.

As for the position on the left wing, during the preseason, Lin Kedi played several games on the left wing.

Lin Kedi was just eager to play at this time. Now that he has seen the official game, he can do it, and he doesn't care whether he plays left wing or center.
