What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 63 Fierce Temperament

Australia, Sydney, Sydney Arena.

Here, Ajax ushered in the powerful Serie A Roma team.

The two teams will compete in a friendly match in this stadium that can accommodate 4 fans.

However, it can be seen from the pre-match start that Roma coach Di Francesca does not attach much importance to this pre-season game.

Because the Roma team does not have those regular main players in the starting lineup, they are replaced by some substitutes and rotation players.

On the other hand, on Ajax's side, almost all the main players played.

In today's game, Ten Hag did not arrange the 4231 formation that he had talked about for a long time at the tactical meeting, but a standard 433 formation.

The goalkeeper is Onana, and the defense line from left to right is Dykes, Dericht, Filgefor and Feltman.

The three midfielders are Ziyech on the left, Schone at the back of the center, and Van der Beek on the right.

The three forwards are Younis playing the left winger position, the center is Huntelaar, and the right winger is Neres.

In short, all the main players from last season have been released, and the big names that have been recruited have also been used.

Lin Kedi was sitting on the bench, and he could still see many fans holding national flags in the stands. At first glance, it was foreign students and local Chinese and overseas Chinese who came to support.

It's just that I didn't start the game, and they didn't wave it.

Then Lin Kedi put all his attention on the game.

Ajax's strength should be compared with Rome, in fact, it should be on par.

In terms of value, the Ajax first team is worth 2.1 million euros.

Roma is worth 2.3 million euros.

The two teams are not far behind.

Judging from the rankings of last season.

Ajax ranked second in the Eredivisie last season, and Roma also ranked second in Serie A last season.

Although the rankings of the Eredivisie and Serie A are far apart, Ajax also won the European Championship last season, which can also be said to make up for the gap.

Therefore, the two teams can be said to be evenly matched opponents, and such opponents will make a preseason friendly match meaningful.

But Roma actually sent a starting lineup with all substitutes in this game, which made Ten Hag a little disappointed.

But there is no way, and there is no way to ask for a friendly match.

From the first minute of the game, Ajax firmly occupied the advantage on the field.

After all, the opponent Roma is a substitute lineup.

Soon, Ajax took the lead.

In the 20th minute, Neres made a cross from the right, and Ziyech stopped the ball and shot a goal from the far corner.

1:0.

The Ajax fans stood up and applauded.

Lin Kedi, who was sitting on the bench, naturally stood up and applauded for the team.

Then, he continued to watch the game.

At the end of the first half, Ajax walked into the locker room with a score of 1-0.

Lin Kedi originally thought that this intermission should be a very calm and easy intermission, after all, the team is in a leading state.

But unexpectedly, after Ten Hag walked into the locker room, his face was gloomy.

With a bald head, a beard, and a gloomy face, especially when the lights in the locker room hit Ten Hag's face, it added a bit of a gloomy atmosphere.

Lin Kedi even thought that Ten Hahe would start scolding in the next second.

But Ten Hag opened his mouth calmly.

"I would say I was a bit disappointed in the first half of the game."

"It's not because of you, I think it may be because of me. I didn't say the goal of this game in advance. I thought you were people who loved offense as much as I did, but obviously, I was wrong. In the first half Facing such an opponent, the strength is obviously not as good as ours. We had the advantage from the first minute, and the result was 1-1 in the first half? If it was a lot of shots, but they didn't score, I would admit it. I would reassure you that luck wasn't on our side today, but obviously not, you pass around and just don't shoot? Why is that? Which team are you learning from? I don't understand."

At the end, Ten Hag raised his voice uncontrollably.

"If some players in the starting lineup don't want to score goals, then I will tell you now that you can be replaced in the second half of the game. Tell me, do you want to?"

The two wingers Younis and Neres yelled "I don't want to".

Huntelaar, on the other hand, made no statement and remained silent.

Ten Hag was silent for a moment.

"I have to see the change in the second half of the game. I only give you 20 minutes, whether you score or not, I will start the substitution after 75 minutes."

After speaking, he walked out of the locker room, and the members of the coaching staff also went out together.

And Ten Hag just walked out of the locker room.

De Jong said to Lin Kedi with lingering fear: "Bro, I have experienced several head coaches, but a head coach loses his temper in the first halftime of the first game. All I can say is, we got a guy with a hot temper."

"To be honest, I don't care about that, whether he's crazy or has a bad temper, all I care about is whether I can play. It's as simple as that."

"Lin, you're right. If he can play football, I don't care if he has a good temper, right?"
-
The second half of the game begins.

Ajax's starting players did become more active on the field after Ten Hag's anger at halftime.

The most active one is Huntelaar. He didn't say anything during the halftime break, keeping a low profile and silent, but when he returned to the game, he was very active.

"In the past 10 minutes, Huntelaar has been very active."

"It's running in a good direction. Mitchell, go and ask the warm-up people to prepare. Changes will be made in 75 minutes."

"It's doing pretty well, should I change it?"

"Of course. I just said in the locker room that there will be a change in 75 minutes. If not, how can the authority of the head coach be guaranteed, so it must be changed."

"Then how many and which are you going to change?"

"Six changes in the frontcourt, change to 6. De Jong and Eiting play double midfielders, Nouri plays front midfielder, Lin on the left, Kluivert on the right, and center Dolberg."

And as soon as 75 minutes, even in 70 minutes, Huntelaar had already scored 1 goal, helping the team turn the score into 2-0, but when it was time to make a substitution, Ten Hag still firmly chose to make a substitution. people.

And 6 people were replaced at once, and 6 more were replaced, and the formation also changed.

There are only 15 minutes left in the game, and the person who is replaced can't change anything at all.

When the time is up, the game is over.

Lin Kedi played a bit depressed because he only had 15 minutes. After he came on the field, he did not take the ball many times, but at least he forced a shot once. The fans on the scene exclaimed.

Yes, Chinese fans at the scene.

The welcome Lin Kedi received after the game was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Lin, I didn't expect you to have so many fans in Australia?"

"No, they are all Chinese. It should be said that there are Chinese everywhere in the world."

And when the next stop is the United States, this situation is even more obvious.
