165. Chapter 165 The league champion before the semi-finals

Author: Bei Guoxia

"A league game on April 24th, a league game on the 26th, the Dutch Cup final on the 28th, and then the Champions League semi-finals on May 1st. What do the Eredivisie officials think? We can't even apply to change the game time.

?We are representing the Netherlands and the Eredivisie in the Champions League semi-finals, and they don’t support us so much?”

On April 23, in the office of the general manager of Ajax.

Van der Sar complained angrily to Overmars and Ten Hag. Of course, Overmars and Ten Hag also knew that Van der Sar was not angry at them, but at the Eredivisie officials.

Overmars looked at Ten Hag.

"Eric, are there any adjustments?"

"Yes, in the league game on the 24th, it should be no problem to play the main half and then win the game. In this way, if we win the home game on the 26th, we will have all the substitutes in the league game on the 26th. In the Dutch Cup final on the 28th, in the game on the 24th

The other half of the main players who did not play started, plus a few main players who have recovered better. After all, the opponent in the Dutch Cup final is PSV, and the strength is relatively strong. In this case, there are only 2 days before the Champions League semi-finals.

Rest time.”

"So the Dutch Cup final must be resolved within 90 minutes!"

Van der Sar finally came to a conclusion for this farce.

When Ten Hahe heard this, he was ready to get up and leave.

But Van der Sar suddenly spoke.

"Eric, the team has one year left on your contract, and the team really wants to renew your contract. What do you think?"

Ten Hag looked at Van der Sar.

"I dare not say so much now, after all, the season is not over yet. So, Edwin, let's wait until the season is over."

Van der Sar nodded, then sighed again.

"Hey, the better the team's performance, the less likely we are to retain people. You are like this, Lin, De Ligt, De Jong, Van de Beek, Mazrawi are like this. Eric, do you know?

?" Having said this, Van der Sar looked at Ten Hahe a little excitedly.

"Fifteen players in our first team have received offers from teams in the five major leagues! After a perfect season, our team will be gone!"

Ten Hag was silent for a while, and then said: "This is the fate of small teams. We are a well-deserved giant in the Eredivisie, but compared with the giants in the five major leagues, we are just a small team. I know that I

There's not much I can do. All I can do now is lead the team well, bring back the championship, and bring the championship to the fans. I think that's enough."

Van der Sar nodded.

"I talked about some heavy topics - let's not talk about it. Eric, if you need anything, you can always tell me. I will fully support you in the sprint stage of the season!"

——

League match on April 24th.

Ajax plays Groningen away.

In this game, Lin Kedi was on the bench.

He watched the game very calmly and was not worried about the result at all.

After all, Ajax has always had a huge lead in the league this season.

It's just that league rival PSV Eindhoven basically made no mistakes, so they only reached the last few rounds of the league.

The opponent in today's game is not strong, and Lin Kedi is naturally not worried that the team cannot defeat the opponent. Although Lin Kedi did not start the game today, Ajax still started half of the main players today. Such a lineup faces a

For a team ranked in the middle of the league, it is also taking it very seriously.

Sure enough, in the 10th minute of the game, Neres received a through pass from midfielder Van de Beek and scored the first goal of the game, opening the scoring for the team.

Neres was extremely excited when he scored the goal. He is not the main player this season, so he naturally works very hard in the games he can play. This goal is the best reward for him.

Then, in the 17th minute of the first half, Huntelaar, who started the game, received a pass from Feltman on the right, jumped high and scored a high-quality header. 2 to 0.

After taking a 2-goal lead, Ajax played more comfortably.

There is no all-out attack.

Because facing such an opponent, if you can win easily, why should you attack with all your strength?

So the game finally ended with a score of 2-0.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Ajax players on the sidelines also rushed into the court. They knelt down and clenched their fists in excitement, hugged each other, or ran excitedly. In short, everyone was venting.

with your own emotions.

Winning the Eredivisie title for two consecutive seasons is always a joy for the players.

But this is not the Amsterdam Arena after all, so after everyone celebrated briefly here, they went directly back to Amsterdam.

Two days later, on April 26, it was the 32nd round of the Eredivisie, the third to last round of the league.

Ajax vs Vitesse before the match.

Vitesse's players stood in two rows where the players entered the stadium. When the Ajax players stepped onto the turf, Vitesse's players lined up to welcome the Ajax players.

This is also a procession ceremony for league champions that many national leagues have.

The players of Ajax also performed very well in this game. Ajax basically sent a full substitute lineup in this game. This made the coach of Vitesse very happy because they have many players this season.

Worrying about relegation, in the third to last round of the league, they were still ranked third from the bottom in the Eredivisie and have not completely escaped the shadow of relegation.

Therefore, Vitesse's coach was overjoyed when he saw Ajax fielding a full substitute lineup.

He felt that there was an opportunity to win against Ajax and then securely avoid relegation.

However, Vitesse's coach soon discovered that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.

In just the first half of the game, Ajax was already leading 3-0, killing all the expectations of Vitesse's side.

When the final whistle blew, Ajax players rushed onto the field again.

After the game, the Eredivisie officially started the awards ceremony for this season.

"In the 2018-19 season, the champion of the Dutch Football League has been born, and they are Ajax!"

At the same time, the Eredivisie League officials also made a cunning move. With two rounds of the league to end, they awarded the Eredivisie Golden Boot to Lin Kedi in advance.

"It is really unheard of to award the league golden boot before the league is over, but maybe the official thinking of the Eredivisie is that there is a 15-minute difference between the second and first goalscorer.

In the last two games, no one may have scored 15 goals. Based on this idea, it may not be surprising that the Eredivisie officially awarded the Golden Boot Award in advance."
