We could take a complete break for two days to adjust your body to the best state, and then train hard for the next three days .

During these days, Lebont was back from injury and began training again with the team.

Two days later, on the evening , Ravier and his teammates stepped into the stadium wearing the Ajax No. 20 jersey. He felt the enthusiasm of the arena the moment he walked out of the player channel. Fans tend to respond enthusiastically to the highlights of the game, and most of the time there will be cheering, but it is not necessarily every time we saw crazy scene.

It seems that at Volendam's home court, the cheering that broke out here is very shocking.

This may be one of the charms of football.

So When Ravier arrived on the field, he abandon all distractions and devote himself to the game.

- Welcome to the Eredivisie league. We are going to assist to the match opposing Ajax vs Volendam. Let see the composition of the two teams.

FC Volendam.

Goalkeeper: Verhoeven

Defender: Luirink, Ruud, koning,Cerezo.

Midfielder: Wilson, Misha, Maurice, Carel, Dion.

Attack: Steur.

AFC Ajax.

Goalkeeper: Ravier.

Defender: Heitinga, Maxwell, Vermaelen.

Midfielder: Galásek, De Jong, Van Der Vaart, Sneijder.

Attack: Soetaers, Anastasiou, De Ridder.

- We can see that Ravier is still in goal and Lebont is also back. It seems to me that the coach does not want to play it right away. Despite that Ravier is a very good substitute so far, he hasn't conceded any goals yet and every now and then surprises us with some spectacular saves.

- This player despite his young age evolves very quickly.

The coach rotates today. In addition to this, some other positions in Ajax are basically the main players.

With deafening cheers, the game officially started.

After the start of the game, Volendam launched an active offensive. Most of the offense was based on fast passes and cuts from the ground. The overall running rate was very fast, and the rhythm took off instantly.

With this play style, Ajax's overall formation was suppressed one after another, and Volendam's impact was very fierce.

Even if their offense is not good, once they lose the ball, they keep fighting for him and for every inch of the field. With some physical confrontation, Ajax's disadvantage on the scene is getting bigger and bigger.

Although the offensive in the backcourt is mainly ground cooperation, whether it is Sneijder, Van Der Vaart, Galásek, it is almost difficult for them to get the ball to the feet of the strikers, and it is almost impossible to play with small cooperation.

De Ridder and Soetaers couldn't get any support in the first zone, even if they did their best to break through the Volendam defense.

In the 12th minute of the match, De Ridder ran from the left, and received a pass from Sneijder.

But the ball was broken by the defender Cerezo. De Ridder Just take two steps forward with the ball, and the defender Cerezo then ferociously shoveled towards the ball off the sideline, and De Ridder was also slightly caught on his back foot and staggered.

In the 21st minute of the game, the opponent hit the Ajax defense line with continuous fast breaks. Wilson hit the frontcourt to receive the pass from Dion and cut in, then sent a powerful pass to the edge of the penalty area.

The forward Steur missed the chance in front of goal to score. He ran with all his strength then threw himself in front of the goal trying to touch the ball with his feet, but he was a little late on this action and missed the scoring opportunity. But what surprised Ravier the most was the action that followed. Vermaelen who was present, wanted to release the ball but having miscalculated his shot, the ball bounced of his foot before he flew towards the back post of the goal.

Ravier was completely taken aback. He has imagined several ways he could concede his first goal, but he would never have thought that his own teammate would make him concede a goal. Even his teammates were surprised.

- The goal was scored. It was a own goals! It was Vermaelen who score the goal.

Ravier stood in front of his goal, hands on his hips, looking a little absent. His feelings were a little complicated. Although the goal he conceded had nothing to do with him, he had never imagined this kind of scenario. Can he blame his teammate? He watch as the opponent celebrated a goal they didn't even score. It was a frustrating feeling.

So, for the first time he finally understood that even with all his abilities, his cheats, he couldn't prevent this kind of accident. Just as the best doctor couldn't cure everyone, so despite all his abilities he could never stop every goal. It was something he already knew, but what just happened made him realize it a little more.

When the goal was score Koeman is helpless on the sidelines. Koeman was thinking how he could improve the situation on the field. Ajax's overall disadvantage is no longer a technical and tactical formation system problem, but a disadvantage in terms of speed, pace, condition and confrontation.

Even though he thinks he has stronger technical prowess than Volendam, it seem that the player doesn't know how to control the ball, and the loss of the ball did not improve the situation for the team.

Thirty minutes in the game Galásek increased his range of activity and came directly behind De Ridder, and assisted him on the wing.

He took the ball and immediately went to the penalty area to break through. Ruud stretched his leg to intercept it and stepped on his foot. The referee penalized Ruud and even gave him a yellow card.

When De Ridder was knocked on the ground by Ruud, the smell of gunpowder in the game skyrocketed a little.

In the 27th minute of the game, Sneijder was harassed by Misha from the side as soon as he had possession of the ball.

So, he transmitted the ball from the gap to the foot of Misha, then turned and moved forward. Sneijder saw Soetaers and quickly passed the ball diagonally to the right to find him.

After the ball was thrown forward, Soetaers crossed the ball diagonally to the left of the front center of the penalty area. The two quickly and simply hit the wall to cooperate.

Sneijder stopped and took a step to face the center back Koning. Dribbling the ball with his feet, he hit Koning with a fast attack. As a result, his center of gravity moved and was swayed. So he complete the breakthrough easily and send a pass to Anastasiou in the penalty area. In the next step, when Anastasiou catches up with the football in the penalty area, he first pulls the ball in front of him, and then adjusts his step to shoot.

However, the central defender Ruud who was back, stretched his leg one step later and kicked Anastasiou foot. He fell into the penalty area of Volendam and the referee whistled for a penalty kick. This foul is too obvious and there is no need to dispute.

Galásek and Sneijder ran into the penalty area to pull Anastasiou up, and then high-five each other. If the opponent didn't foul, Anastasiou will have a great opportunity to shoot and maybe score. Anastasiou took the penalty kick quickly. Cheers was hear in the Arena. The score is now 1-1.

With this score, the game is now on once again.
