The Era of Emerald

() "Vice-Chairman Van Prager, it seems that you Ajax still need further reinforcements, otherwise, with the current main lineup, I am afraid it will be difficult to go further in the Champions League." This VIP box It seems that the Monaco club specially reserved for the top executives of the two clubs participating in the game, so there is no one else in the room except Zhuang Mingge, Karin, Rebecca representing Fiorentina and Van Prager representing Ajax club , but it is a good place to chat and talk about things.

"You are right, Chairman Corleone, there are still three days before the summer transfer period closes, we must fill in the loopholes as soon as possible." Seeing the team's poor performance in the first half, Van Plata Grid is also depressed at this time. Although Ajax is seeking the possibility of strengthening the team as much as possible this summer, the "Ajax model" accumulated by the club for decades has made the team's scouting system more difficult. Focus more on young players who have not played in the professional league or have just debuted for a year or two. For this kind of work that can be used immediately, Ajax's scouting department has never I didn't make any records, so I had to cram for more than a month.

Obviously, more than a month is too late for Ajax to find high-quality and cheap immediate combat power. At the same time, these main players who were freely transferred this summer did not bring a penny to the team. Ajax, which is shy and does not have the support of rich people, naturally cannot spend a lot of money in the transfer market like Fiorentina, Inter Milan and other teams.

It can be said that Ajax was able to sign Laudrup and Van Bronckhorst two free players in the transfer market in just over a month, which is already quite successful.

But this is obviously not enough. The departure of a large number of main players has made the current Ajax bench depth drop sharply. At the same time, the lack of offensive ability will also make it difficult for this Dutch giant to struggle in the European arena this season. After all, the head coaches of other teams I'm not an idiot either, knowing that you don't have the ability to attack by force, anyone who would foolishly fight against you must be a defensive counterattack...

Therefore, the powerful center and right back are the two positions that Ajax needs to supplement most now.

"By the way, Chairman Corleone, I wonder if you have any suitable players to recommend to our team?" Van Prager, who was worrying about the future of the team, remembered that the Florence chairman beside him seemed to have a big ball. Explore the Internet, and look at people quite viciously, asked.

Zhuang Mingge was about to answer, but Karin who was beside him quietly poked him with an elbow, so he smiled awkwardly at Van Prager, turned around and asked in a low voice: "Karin, do you have any ideas? "

"Tony, since Ajax has such a good player training system, let it help us train a few more players." Karin blinked slyly, but she didn't seem to have any special reaction when she saw Zhuang Mingge , I had to add another sentence, "Simoni Inzaghi in our youth team is now 20 years old."

yes!How can I let go of such a good thing like borrowing a chicken to lay an egg so easily!What's more, this "chicken" is a high-quality breed named "Ajax" that specializes in laying golden eggs.

So Zhuang Mingge happily recommended Inzaghi Jr., who was about to be unable to continue playing in the youth team due to age, to Van Prager, and Van Prager was obviously very fond of this "brother of Philip Inzaghi" Interested (in fact, mainly because the loan is completely free), so the two sides quickly reached a verbal agreement: as long as Inzaghi Jr. personally agrees, the deal can be completed.

Just when Zhuang Minge and Van Prager reached another loan deal in the box, the short 15-minute intermission has come to an end, and the two sides are about to start the second half of the game.

Neither Fiorentina nor Ajax made substitutions during the halftime break, but the meanings of the representatives are obviously different. The former is because the starting lineup is strong enough and there have been no problems so far, so there is no need for substitutions; Or it is because there are no candidates on the bench who are comparable to the main players in the city, and rash substitutions will only make the situation worse.

After the start of the second half of the game, Fiorentina continued to fully recover, and played a defensive counterattack steadily, resolutely not giving Ajax players any room to attack, and Ajax, who was behind in the score, had no choice, even if they knew that such an attack would not be effective. , and possibly even because of the .

Because Ajax lacks a striker with the ability to attack, and the speedy forward Overmars lacks enough space, he wants to go far outside the penalty area, but he is intercepted by Fiorentina's thick defense in advance. Ajax's players rarely even entered the penalty area.

"Tch, if you give me a center forward who is only half as strong as Kluivert, I won't let the team be so passive on the field..." Van Gaal looked at Ajax who was passive everywhere on the field, thinking resentfully.

Van Gaal's complaint obviously won't change the situation of the game much. Ajax still controls the ball, but when facing Florence's defense like a tortoise shell, these players feel a little helpless—— Can't even attack the opponent's penalty area, this game is really depressing!

Finding that there is no space to use in the restricted area, under the dispatch and organization of Laudrup, Colini and others, Ajax began to consciously strengthen the long-range frequency outside the restricted area, but the effect received was still not very good Ideally, Fiorentina's midfielders have a very wide range of running, and their positions and steals are also very accurate, making it impossible for Ajax players to play calmly within their "range".

After the Ajax players stormed for a while, their momentum, which was suppressed everywhere on the field, began to gradually drop. At this time, Florence's counterattack began to officially start!

When the backcourt pays more attention to defense, Florence's counterattack relies more on its own trident in the frontcourt. Whether it is the speed of Djorkaeff and Ronaldo, or the impact of Batistuta, it can make Florence's counterattack It has to be loud and clear.

In the 54th minute, after Effenberg stole the ball from the back court, a long pass was passed to Djorkaeff who was ambushing on the left side of the midfield. Passed, the ball directly penetrated Ajax's over-pressed defense and was picked up by Ronaldo who started to accelerate.De Boer was desperately chasing back and trying to make amends, but how can he catch up with the aliens who are not troubled by injuries, and the distance between the two is getting farther and farther...

Afterwards, Ronaldo, who rushed into the penalty area, suddenly kicked his feet and hanged at the front of the penalty area. Van der Sar, who abandoned the goal and attacked, was caught off guard and had to watch the ball fly into his own gate.

"Goooal! Two to zero, Ronaldo scored twice! Fiorentina expanded their lead, and they are now getting closer to the first European Super Cup champion in club history!"
