Star Card System

In the best VIP room reserved by Ajax, all the club's big shots watched the Europa League final.

Almost everyone is related to the Ajax club, except for one special guest.

And this special guest is even a rival of Ajax.

Eredivisie Utrecht coach-Erik Tennhag!

Although Ajax failed to win the Eredivisie championship this season, their performance was amazing enough.

In particular, the training of this group of Ajax youth players is absolutely stunning to the entire European football world.

But even though they spent energy training new players, the team's results are still great.

This young team without much experience can still reach the Europa League finals, and the league is only one step away from the championship.

If Boss had been more conservative and sent in more veterans, this would not have been the result.

But because of this, Bose was targeted by many European giants.

The latest news is that Bosz and Dortmund are very close, and it is said that they have already initialed a contract.

Whether it's true or not, Bosz will definitely not renew his contract with Ajax.

In other words, today is Bosz's last game coaching Ajax.

The Europa League trophy is important, but Ajax's future is even more important.

The club has already made preparations to find Bosch's successor in advance.

Tenhag is their first choice.

Utrecht has been in excellent form in recent seasons.

As a famous player who once played for Utrecht, Tenhag took over his old club in the summer of 2015.

In two seasons, they climbed from the middle and lower reaches of the league to the first tier of the league.

As a non-Eredivisie giants team, Utrecht has rejuvenated under Venhag.

Last season, Utrecht finished fifth in the league and was in excellent form.

This season, they faced strong opponents in the league and won consecutive victories, eventually ranking fourth in the Eredivisie.

Especially the double win over Ajax in two rounds was heart-wrenching.

If it weren't for these two defeats, Ajax would have won the championship this season.

So half a season ago, Ajax had already begun to pay attention to Tenhag.

Now, taking advantage of Ajax's season finale, the club specially invited Tenhag to watch the game.

Regarding Ajax’s lineup and players, Tenhag was full of praise.

"Such a talented lineup is at the top level in Europe. With such a team, it is possible to compete for the Champions League."

Hearing this, Ajax chairman John Jack suddenly raised the corners of his mouth.

"I'm very happy to be recognized by you. It seems that you and Ajax are very destined."

Tenhag smiled and did not answer the question.

You know, Ajax is chasing him now, so he is not in a hurry.

Not expressing his position first, and then striving for more benefits, this is his purpose.

Jaques was also very aware of this situation, so he didn't talk much about Ajax. Instead, he changed the topic and started talking about Manchester United.

"Manchester United has been in poor form in recent seasons. This season they invited Mourinho, and their form has improved slightly. If you were replaced by Mourinho, what would you do?"

Hearing this, Tenhag smiled.

"Mourinho has done a good job this season, he has managed the team with an iron fist and Manchester United has become very energetic.

“But I think he didn’t do it thoroughly.

"If I were Mourinho, I would be tougher.

"Rooney, Carrick and other veterans in the team should terminate their contracts when they need to.

“Their condition is not as good as before, and the game time is not guaranteed.

"What are you keeping them for?

"The team's style of play is also too conservative. They should attack boldly and use fast breaks.

"I could play good football at Utrecht, why can't he at Manchester United?

“Although Manchester United’s winning percentage is good this season, it’s not good enough.

"If I were the manager of Manchester United, I would definitely make drastic reforms.

"Let Manchester United not only win, but also win beautifully!"

The sports director on the side asked with great interest: "What if there is resistance within the team, for example, the veteran players do not agree with your tactical ideas?"

Tenhag smiled slightly: "That's easy, just get rid of him, and then replace him with players who understand and support my tactical arrangements."

The sports director curled his lips: "Is it so easy to get rid of it?"

Tenhag leaned back slightly, with confidence written on his face: "Let alone Manchester United now, even if Cantona, Beckham, and Roy Keane are in the team, I can still defeat them. Let’s go! No one can stay as long as it doesn’t meet my tactical needs!”

After hearing what Tenhag said, everyone in the Ajax management looked at each other, each with their own thoughts in mind.

But no one thought at this moment that from the beginning of this topic that had nothing to do with Ajax, the gears of fate had begun to turn...

The spectators were chatting among themselves, and the players on the court were finishing their warm-up.

The players returned to the locker room to make final preparations. At this time, the two commentators in the live broadcast room were chatting about the starting lineups of both sides.

Regarding Manchester United's lineup, Alan Shearer is naturally the most concerned and knowledgeable about it.

Especially after many players retired due to injuries, he is looking forward to Manchester United's tactics today.

“When Manchester United came in, we saw a Canes team.

"Ibrahimovic, Ashley Young, Luke Shaw, Rojo,

“The four players all came in with crutches and sat directly in the audience.

"As sweet as it may seem, the Manchester United men and women are working together as one team.

"But it's also a huge problem for Mourinho.

"How to adjust the formation today?

"The day before the game, he had already announced the starting lineup.

"In this game, he did not use a 4-2-3-1 formation, but went directly to a 4-3-3.

"Goalkeeper Romero started the game, replacing De Gea who was slightly injured.

"The back four of Damian, Blind, Smalling and Valencia,

"The three midfielders are Xia, Fellaini and Pogba.

“The front three is Rashford, Rooney and Mkhitaryan.

"Manchester United's tactics today are very interesting. Is Mourinho planning to attack in the final?

“After being conservative for the whole season, I chose to be aggressive at the last moment.

"This is really not his style.

"But that's right. He is a madman after all. He can arrange his troops in any way he wants."

Upon hearing this, Carragher curled his lips.

"The reason why we arranged the formation like this is because there is no one to defend.

"We can only attack with all our strength and try to use offense to make up for the deficiencies in defense.

"I guess Mourinho must be thinking that way.

“Look at Darmian coming on at left-back, will he play at left-back?

"Maybe a little?

"Anyway, he rarely played left back before.

"Is today's guest appearance good enough?

“I don’t think there’s a chance.

"Perhaps the first goal Manchester United conceded in this game was scored from the left wing.

"Let's wait and see!" (End of chapter)
