Chapter 50 Hit the Wall
Zhang Jun didn't understand why he could not break through the pretty central defender. It was the fifth time. The opponent turned around and stuck him behind him. Zhang Jun hit a wall again. He reached out to the referee to signal the opponent to block the foul, but the referee shook his head, and the meaning was very clear: You have lost control of the ball first.
The booing of the Amsterdam Stadium has started again.
Zhang Jun looked up at the Dutch fans in the stands. He was upset by these booings. Are you so happy when you see yourself failing? Kifu is your captain, your idol... Then I will defeat your captain, your idol! Zhang Jun clenched his fists.
Zhang Jun is the only forward, and he is the team's top scorer. Most of the teammates' balls were passed to him, and he completed the shot. However, Bayes found that Zhang Jun rarely passed it out after receiving the ball, but chose to be one-on-one with Kifu, who was defending him! Similarly, after Ajax's players understood, they also felt relieved to hand Zhang Jun over to their captain. When Zhang Jun took the ball, they at most protected the ball and did not go up to grab the ball. The first five duels were already very clear, and Zhang Jun could not defeat Kifu.
Bayes was not going to pass the ball to Zhang Jun and let him squander it. This was not a game of two children being angry, but a professional league. If they wanted to fight one-on-one, the two could make a appointment after the game and throw gloves to duel with each other like the medieval knights. But when he saw Zhang Jun fall at Ji Fu's feet again, he was unwilling to beat the ground. Amid the constant booing of the audience, his back was so helpless that Bayes changed his mind at that moment.
He is also a young man, and he will be excited by this kind of movie duel. The loser is not shameful, but the deserter is shameful...
"Damn!" Stell next to Adriance cursed softly, "Can't he see that Zhang Jun is not in shape today?" He was talking about Bayes, who passed the ball to Zhang Jun again and again, and then let the latter squander it again and again.
Adriansse also noticed this phenomenon. It was not that Zhang Jun was not in a state, but was getting into a stunning position. His strength was not as strong as Ji Fu, but he still had to play singles with the opponent. What should I do now? Continue to leave Zhang Jun on the court, expecting him to sleepwalking for 89 minutes, and then flash once in the last minute? Or should I replace him as soon as possible so that those who can seize the opportunity can top it up?
Just when Adrians was indecisive, Yang Pan received a pass from Kozel's backcourt, a long pass, which was so powerful that Yang Pan's pass was rushing up from the high-speed train.
Van der Fate didn't chase him at all, but retreated to the middle because he knew that he could not catch up with the No. 25. Seeing Yang Pan chasing the ball, Zhang Jun quickly pulled the ball to the side and pulled out the space for Yang Pan.
Jifu looked at Yang Pan who was dribbling the ball at high speed, then turned around and chased Zhang Jun. An empty space immediately appeared in the middle. Yang Pan dribbled the ball to twenty-five meters away from the goal. Ajax's defenseman had quickly surrounded him and could not delay any more! Yang Pan raised his foot and shot!
The football flew out like a cannonball. Ajax's goalkeeper Timmer had almost no chance of performance since the start of the game. This time, there was a close-up, "Look at me showing my skills!" He shouted and punched the football out! The football fell right under Zhang Jun's feet again, and he didn't even raise his head and shot the first time!
Jifu flew over and blocked the shot with his thighs. The football jumped out of the baseline and the corner kick! Jifu wiped his sweat and sighed in his heart. It was so dangerous just now. He only took one step slower and almost made Zhang Jun catch the opportunity. If he didn't shoot directly just now, but pretended to shoot but hit the goal, he would definitely have been deducted by him.
Kifu was secretly afraid in his heart, but someone had already started to regret it. "Ah!" Taemel clenched his fists and shouted loudly. Kifu turned around and saw that his body had been arched into shrimps. "What's wrong with you?" he asked with concern.
"Uh... fuck! That Chinese shot was so... horrible..." Temer said gritting his teeth, "My hand is only hurting now, it's like a bursting bullet drilling into your body and detonating! I would rather not have a close-up shot... I just want him not to have such shots again."
Looking at Temer's embarrassment, Kifu couldn't help laughing, and then he shouted loudly at Van der Fate: "Van der Fate! Don't let Yang Pan go next time! Stare at him and stick to him! Don't give him a chance to shoot casually!" Van der Fate looked at Temer in pain behind Kifu with a wicked smile, "Hey! Your close-up shot has spread throughout the Netherlands!" Then he gave Kifu a thumbs up, "No problem, I will pay attention to that boy!"
This was just a small episode in the game. The corner kick was taken, and Kivo defeated Zhang Jun and pushed the ball out. Van der Mede once again stabbed the ball in front of Kozell's feet, and then accelerated to catch up with the ball. The 22-year-old young right forward was like a commander and issued an order: Ajax attack!
All Warren Dam players were desperately retreating, and Bartre naturally took on the task of dragging Van der Mede and winning time for his teammates to return to defense, but...
Van der Mede's arch bounced and passed it to Litmanin who was receiving him. Litmanin passed the ball directly. Van der Mede just inserted it and received the ball, two by one!
Ajax's forward line has reached the front of the penalty area. Van der Mede makes a cross from the right, the football rolls into the penalty area with the turf, Ibrasimovic hits the horse and shoots down and shoots!
Westlop attacked and intercepted, and Louis Link also risked the foul in the penalty area and shoveled from behind to the Finn!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!”
The live commentator at the Adsterdam Stadium yelled, and then there were 50,000 fans cheering like tsunamis.
Ajax led 2:0! Ibrasimovic scored a goal!
Zhang Jun was watching Ajax's players hug in the penalty area of his team in the frontcourt and celebrated the goal. He felt very uncomfortable. A corner kick caused his team's goal conceding was all because of his incompetence. He was stared at by Kifu!
He clenched his fists, feeling unwilling!
Koeman seemed very excited at the moment of scoring the goal, but he immediately returned to his calm. He grabbed Van der Fate who ran past him: "Please pay attention to Yang Pan, don't give him a chance to shoot easily. You can see Temer's appearance, if you do a few more times... I guess I will let the substitute goalkeeper warm up!" In the noisy Amsterdam Stadium, he had to shout loudly to ensure that Van der Fate could hear it clearly. "Tell them to surround Yang Pan on the field, but leave space in front to lure him into shooting! You can poke the ball off while he is shooting! Move quickly! You can foul if necessary. I see that Warren Dam's set-piece is not successful!"
"Yeah." Van der Fate took this opportunity to take a sip of water, then nodded and ran to the field.
It was not until Warrendam put the ball back on the kick-off point that the stadium became a little quieter, but the fans were still singing and cheering for the team. The Netherlands was not only full of passion, but also fans.
Yang Pan was indeed given special care. As long as he got the ball, two or three Ajax players would quickly surround him.
"I thought there were too many people to defend me?" Yang Pan saw a gap in front of him, just so that he could see part of the goal, and it was now! Yang Pan swung his right leg!
"It's now!" Van der Fate, who had been guarding by his side, swung his calves very quickly, and his toes touched the football, and the football fell off!
Yang Pan swung his right leg out, but kicked it in vain. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. Galasek immediately got the football and moved to Van der Mead on the right.
Yang Pan seemed to be unable to believe that he had not scored the ball.
"This is simply an inexplicable mistake! Yang Pan actually kicked in vain!" A Chinese reporter in the stands shouted.
"What's the big deal about this? There are so many people kicking empty!" Another reporter replied disdainfully, probably the two of them were competitors.
Van der Fate blinked at Koeman as he ran past the coach's seat, and Koeman smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
Ajax's offense was successfully broken out of the sideline by Kozel. He performed very hard in this game, but unfortunately the gap in strength made him seem uncompetent. Both goals conceded were indirectly related to him. In front of Van der Mede, he always moved a little slower, but he was still running and defending without hesitation.
Ajax's sideline ball was thrown out and then grabbed it by Kozel. He threw Mido away and passed the ball to Bayes. Bayes used his personal skills to pass the opponent's Galasek, and then passed it to Herville, who was quickly plugging in the left.
Herville knocked the ball over and then passed the ball! He threw away the home team right-back Trabelsi who turned slightly slower!
This was an insult to Trabels! He tried his best to chase back, and when he was about to catch up with the opponent, Herville passed the ball!
A curved ball flew into the penalty area. Zhang Jun had already thrown away Ji Fu, jumped high, and headed the ball with a powerful header!
The ball has entered!
Zhang Jun ran towards Herville with great excitement, thanking him for his pass! But he found that there was no joy on Herville's face. He turned his head and looked back with Herville's gaze strangely.
The borderman raised the small flag in his hand and offside!
Zhang Jun was a little angry. He obviously threw away Kifu's header, so why did he blow it off? Is this the home advantage? He rushed towards the linebacker and was about to question his penalty, but was grabbed by Yang Pan. At the same time, Ajax's players also ran up to protect the linebacker, and the situation on the field suddenly became tense.
"Don't be impulsive, Zhang Jun! You have indeed been offside, only half of your position, but you have been offside! Zhang Jun..." Yang Pan's words were interrupted by the referee's whistle. The referee ran over quickly and showed Zhang Jun a yellow card without mercy!
The yellow card aroused the dissatisfaction of other Warren Dam players, who surrounded the referee and explained, while Ajax's players inserted in and tried to separate the two sides, and the field was in chaos again.
However, Zhang Jun was not involved in this chaos. He was being pulled by Yang Pan to explain: "... That Kifu moved forward half a step before Herville passed. He was the last defender. I believe you know it very well. Then, the moment before Herville passed, he rushed forward quickly. Then the moment when Herville passed, you were offside. I saw it clearly here. Of course, the lineman and me would not be wrong. Calm down!"
The referee waved his hand to disperse Warrendam's players and warned them loudly not to be impulsive, otherwise he would not be polite.
Ji Fu looked at the back of Zhang Jun, who was lowering his head. This impulsive guy was just a goal. Why bother to find a yellow card on his own? He shook his head, a little confused about him.
Adriansey knew that the players were a little impatient. He stood on the sidelines and asked the players to calm down and not to go against the referee. There were twenty minutes left in the game. Calm down, they didn't have a chance... The opportunity, he turned his eyes to Zhang Jun, who was a little dejected. This person who was best at seizing the opportunity seemed to have been cursed by Ji Fu today. Can't he change him? If he changes him, let Ochu play the forward? Even if Zhang Jun is unable to break through Ji Fu, Ochu won't even think about it. Let Yang Pan move to the middle to play the forward? But he saw a hint of uneasiness from Yang Pan's shot that just now swung his feet.
Yang Pan soon found that he had almost no chance to kick. When he swung his right leg, the ball would be quickly stabbed by Van der Fate beside him. He had fallen to the ground for the second time because of the empty kick.
Adrians finally understood. He looked at Koman on the other side. The blonde man looked at the court with a calm face. He was such a smart coach. He could see Yang Pan's weakness so quickly. With Ajax's current situation, it was impossible to compress space in the entire midfield and backcourt, so he artificially created a small narrow space in some places. With Yang Pan as the axis, there were two to three defensive players within five meters, which really made Yang Pan's long-range shots nowhere to be played. Moreover, if Yang Pan chose to break through or pass the ball without shooting, he would immediately foul... It was indeed amazing, no wonder he would become a popular candidate for the head coach of the Dutch national team.
In this way, even Yang Pan was frozen, and the game was about to end in fifteen minutes. Has Warren Dam already lost?
Time flies very quickly, and Zhang Jun is still stubbornly fighting Jifu. As long as he has the chance, he will always have one choice - a one-on-one challenge.
With ten minutes left in the game, Ajax was a little relaxed, giving Warren Dam a chance to attack three times in just five minutes.
Bayes passed the ball to Zhang Jun again, and Zhang Jun turned his back to Kifu. He pretended to turn to the left, but turned to the right. The others turned around, but the ball stayed. Needless to say, the boo must have sounded. In fact, because Zhang Jun's uncontrollability caused a conflict on the field, Ajax fans would boo him without any mercy as long as Zhang Jun took the ball.
Here comes again, Zhang Jun stepped on the ball with his back to Kifu. In the current situation, he couldn't even use Cruyff to turn around. What should he do? Pass the ball or continue to fight one-on-one?
Passing the ball or continuing to fight one-on-one? This is also the question that Kifu asked himself in his heart. What is this Chinese going to do? Has he not played enough yet?
Zhang Jun remembered the goal conceding. He gritted his teeth and rolled the ball horizontally, getting rid of the opponent first! He needed to win space for his turn, so he had to stay away from Kifu, otherwise he would never be able to do anything.
Feeling that Jifu did not follow, Zhang Jun was overjoyed and quickly turned around without hesitation! But as soon as he turned his body, he saw Jifu stretched out his foot, and with a stab at the toe, the ball was broken again!
Zhang Jun's feet softened and he fell to his knees on the field. It turned out that the other party had been waiting for him to turn around, and he was like a fool!
"Why? If Zhang Jun passed the ball just now, Warren Dam could still score a goal. Ajax's defense was simply full of loopholes..."
Li Yan laughed while listening. Who was the one who was hyping up before the game between Zhang Jun and Kifu? Who is the person who complained that Zhang Jun is too unique now? Judging from his contact with Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun is a gentle person on the outside but stubborn inside. He was defeated by Kifu again and again, so of course he would not give up easily. But I hope that his overall failure in this game will not affect his confidence.
The man wearing the captain Ajax armband is only one year older than him, but he is like a wall standing in front of him. With three minutes left in the game, Ajax has recovered all of them and let Warren Dam attack. Warren Dam also seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. If there is a ball, he will pass it to Zhang Jun's feet and ask him to play singles with Kifu.
Adriansay gave up this game ten minutes ago, and he didn't consider whether to replace Zhang Jun or not. Maybe this is the growth they must experience, Adriansay admitted it.
He received the ball, faced Jifu, and kept shaking, trying to shake Jifu. But when he thought Jifu had fallen and was about to break through, the football was hooked by Jifu's foot, and he failed again!
...
Zhang Jun switched to the left, and Hervil moved to the middle. Zhang Jun dribbled the ball, but was cut by Kifu, and separated him from the football and got stuck! Zhang Jun failed again...
The game was over, Ajax defeated Warrendam, who was visiting 2:0. The king defended the honor of the king, and the challenger saw for the first time what the king's aura was.
Zhang Jun looked at the Ajax players celebrating on the court, and listened to the fans' shouts, and wanted to cry. He suffered a failure in his first professional game, but he didn't expect to lose so badly and lose so badly. He hadn't tasted the taste of the bitter fruit of failure alone when he watched others cheer, but he swallowed the bitter fruit of failure alone.
After hugging his teammates, Kifu walked across the court and grabbed Zhang Jun who was about to leave. Zhang Jun looked at the other party with some strangeness.
"Do you know Dutch? Or English?" Kivolenbi said to him.
"Of course." Zhang Jun nodded.
"That's good!" Kifu smiled, he took off the Ajax jersey and handed it to Zhang Jun, "I look forward to going to your home court in the second half of the season."
Zhang Jun smiled, "I will definitely defeat you!" He also took off his jersey and exchanged with Kifu.
The first time the professional game failed, the first time the yellow card, the first time the jersey exchange was very meaningful to Zhang Jun.
In the locker room, Zhang Jun calmed down and apologized to everyone for his personal considerations during the game, without considering the actions of the whole team. "Sorry, because I was stopped by the opponent again and again during the game, I was so excited that I completely forgot the interests of all my teammates and the team, which led to the failure of this game..."
Captain Holwijin patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder: "Don't blame yourself. Losing is not a person's responsibility. There is no need to take all the mistakes on yourself."
"Yes, if I were you, I would have done that too. Didn't I see that I almost passed the ball to you alone? Haha!" Bayes smiled.
Although Adriansey was also a little annoyed by Zhang Jun's unremitting approach, he saw that Kifu and Zhang Jun exchanged jerseys after the game, and Zhang Jun had already admitted his mistake. He couldn't say anything else. He clapped his hands: "Yes, just pay attention next time."
Yang Pan hugged Zhang Jun and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, Ji Fu is a master, and losing to him is not a shame."
Zhang Jun blinked: "But I still want to beat him! It would be even more satisfying to score a goal with a master like him!"
Yang Pan smiled: "I think you are really up with him, haha! Even the jerseys are exchanged. Will you throw gloves next time you meet?"
Chapter completed!
