The next day, the team will have restorative training in the afternoon. In the morning, Ravier had breakfast with Stanley who kept talking about yesterday's game and trained step by step. After that, he will go jogging in the park.
Living abroad for almost one years, he has also learned a lot from Stanley, some dark things about football.
For example, many black-hearted agents in Europe were "selling players". They emptied the savings of some families, but took their children to the streets of Europe and ignored them, playing with the dreams of these children.
Ravier was really lucky him. This kind of thing did not happen to him. He even got himself an agent without really making the slightest effort. When he got back to the apartment at noon, his shirt was sweaty. But what seemed a little different to her was the stranger standing outside her door. Ravier did not comment. He just thanked him and took the business card that he gave him.
As self-recommended broker.
He claimed he could get him a better contract for him provided he was his agent.
After training on Thursday afternoon, Ravier had dinner at the club's restaurant. The next match will be played tomorrow afternoon and Ravier was not on the starting list. This time Koeman had chosen to play with Lebont.
On the way to the away game to challenge Heereveen by bus, Ravier was sitting in the corner of the back row of the bus, and spoke from time to time with De Jong and Maxwell. We were already in March and the climate was quite favorable. The players quickly lined up to enter the field. Since Ravier was not going to play, he was sitting with the others on the substitutes' bench.
But this match was an upset. No one can say what happened, since everyone was waiting for the victory of the Ajax team. However, they lost 4-1 that day. That day, newspapers did not spare them at all. And they even had the audacity to compare the performance of Ravier and Lebont. Luckily the next game against RKC Waalwijk was good. They painstakingly made this victory.
Some voices are a little quieter since in this match Lebont was really exemplary. But he didn't convince everyone at all. The next match Koeman let Lebont be in the starting list. The AFC Ajax will play against Utrecht. But unfortunately it was still a defeat. 1-0. Fortunately they have always kept the lead in the standings since PSV Eindhoven did not take the opportunity to take the lead in the standings. On the contrary, they followed the example of AFC Ajax with two consecutive defeats and a draw.
Koeman was really under pressure. He did allow Lebont to play again upon his return. Just to allow him to keep in shape and not lose confidence in himself. But the matches were a little disappointing. It must be said that, it was not absolutely his fault on the goals that the teams have conceded so far.
But, being used to seeing Ravier's performance in recent games, he then thought Lebont was capable of it too. It was a fatal mistake on his part. It was also at this time that he was finally convinced of Ravier's strength and talent. He therefore immediately made a phone call to Rick and asked him to give Ravier a more generous contract and do everything possible to allow him to be present next season. But for now he has to settle for winning the remaining matches.
During this time spent on the bench, Ravier took the opportunity to update his stats. We're almost at the end of the season and that's when most teams are crazy and work miracles. So now his stats look like that

With the matches he played. He has made quite a bit of progress. He noticed that it is more and more difficult to move forward. Now he noticed that he needed more points to increase his stats. Maybe Koeman was unhappy with Lebont's latest performance and also the pressure he was under. without much surprise, Ravier debuted in the next match. The match is expected to be played between Ajax and Roda JC. Ravier's presence within the team is now more certain. During training, his teammates now take the initiative to discuss with him.
On the way from the club to the apartment, Ravier can also meet many fans who cheer him on and look forward to taking pictures with him. The days are getting better and better, and Ravier is more motivated, training hard and exploiting his potential.
The closing match of the Eredivisie, ends significantly earlier than the five major leagues, but that's only the regular season. After the regular season, there are the relegation play-offs and the European qualification play-offs. The place in the relegation play-off is still up in the air. Compared to the suspense of relegation, the suspense of the championship is of unprecedented cruelty and ferocity.
Since PSV Eindhoven have lost a few games, the pressure on the Ajax team is a bit minimal. But that doesn't mean they have to slack off. Ravier debuted again in this match. Roda JC team fans cannot compete with Ajax fans there is an overwhelming advantage. The whistle announces the beginning of the match and Roda JC, who was invited, quickly took over the field.
Ajax's side are ready to adopt a defensive counter-attacking stance at home. Even if they field the 433 formation, it doesn't affect their shrinking defense in any way. The opposing team's boss stood on the sidelines with a nervous expression, which was obviously coy compared to Koeman's composure. No way, Ajax is a championship contender, and we can even say that in the 33 rounds of the league, Ajax are the best team in the Eredivisie.
The difference in strength is obvious at a glance. Koeman's Ajax don't have a supernova or Eredivisie stars, but have almost hit the team ceiling in terms of overall fighting power. The initiative was in the hands of Ajax and the Roda JC side were passively beaten after Ajax won the ball.
Roda JC relied more on the midfield to create a threat in the penalty area. Although the elite team of Roda JC were playing well and the Ajax team were constantly threatening them, they managed to protect their goal on several occasions. It's just that no matter how you look at this game, everyone thinks it's only a matter of time before Ajax scores.
The sporadic counter-attacking chances from the Roda JC team were too sloppy. The midfielder tried to create a golden chance but the chance was wasted. With great calm, Ravier resolved the threat.
But in the 20th minute of the game, the situation on the pitch changed.
When Mark stole the ball from Sneijder, he immediately passed the ball directly ahead.
Predrag who received the pass, stopped and dribbled forward responding from the left backcourt. His speed was not fast.
Iwan the striker made a ball call, but Predrag returned the ball to Mark, who was running down the middle.
Just after crossing the halfway line, he received another pass from Mark and dribbled a few steps forward. He accidentally found Ajax center-back Maxwell and Escude.
But when they rushed like that, Predrag calmly passed the ball diagonally down the middle.
When Iwan entered the attacking danger zone to receive a pass from Predrag, the Ajax defense was already in a spin.
Another defender, Heitinga, came forward and hugged Iwan closely, but the latter dribbled to the right to dodge Heitinga. Although he is not able to make a quick acceleration to complete the breakthrough, he sends a ball deep.
The space is very wide, and the ball is not difficult to pass.
The crowd saw that Ajax full-back Grygera was gradually thrown wide as he chased Sven, who cut inside.
Sven clipped the ball in the penalty area and went alone to meet the keeper.
Very good opportunity.
Ajax keeper Ravier, gave up the goal and quickly rushed Sven before making a decisive save, but Sven smashed the ball in advance and changed direction to pass the goalkeeper.
The ball went through, but the player was hit on the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded, and when he ran, he pointed to the penalty spot.
"Ohhh penalty"!!!!!
