The game is in full swing, and in the luxury box on the top floor on the south side of the stands, Scheringa, the chairman of the Alkmaar club, and Mankler, the team manager, are watching the players galloping on the field.
"This new stadium is really good." Scheringa said that they just moved to the DSB Stadium this summer. The original home stadium, De Hoult Stadium, had less than 10,000 seats, while the new stadium can accommodate 17,000 people. .
"We underestimated our football market a bit." Mankler added: "The average attendance rate at the old stadium was not very high, so we thought the new stadium could accommodate it. Unexpectedly, the demand for tickets was much higher than that of the stadium. expected."
"This is because the club's performance in recent years has been very good. In the 2004-05 season, we reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. Last season, we won the second place in the league and almost won the championship. The fans are naturally more supportive."
"The stadium reconstruction plan that has been approved should start as soon as possible. By 2010, the stadium will be able to accommodate 21,000 people!"
Manckler nodded, and suddenly frowned and said: "But our league performance this season has declined very seriously. The influence caused by the Chinese cannot be ignored, and a decision needs to be made immediately!"
Scheringa rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Who would have thought that the target he was desperately chasing at the beginning turned out to be a parallel importer? But that's how running a club is, there will always be some signings that don't go well."
"Dongfangzhuo is not so easy to clean up, because he has a difficult agent, Balmond." Scheringa said: "It was his superb negotiation skills that made us sign this very unfavorable contract. And if you break it, you have to pay a high price."
"We can use some other unconventional small means." Munkler hinted, "There are many ways to suppress a player and let him choose to leave the team."
"This is the most difficult part! Perhaps you should learn more about the current external situation. Wang Feng, who is in the same country as Dongfang Zhuo, won the third European Golden Globe Award."
"Is there any connection between all of this?" Manckler asked puzzled.
"The players who can win this honor are all very influential superstars in European football! Although Wang Feng is Asian, his connections in European football are still very strong."
"Considering the unity of the Chinese people and the fact that both of them have Balmond as their agent, once we use shady means to deal with Dongfang Zhuo, then Wang Feng will definitely use his influence to retaliate against us, so that The current size of the club is difficult to compete with him head-on."
"Dongfangzhuo's agent Balmond also hinted to me that Wang Feng will definitely stand up for him! But I also made it clear that Alkmaar's attitude is that the club will never allow it to be dragged down."
"Next we will start negotiations. At that time, you will mainly participate. The most important point is to abolish the guaranteed playing time clause. If Dongfang Zhuo's performance has not improved, let him sit on the bench all the time!"
Manckler nodded. The team has had a long-standing grievance about this issue, and it cannot be delayed any longer.
...
Dongfang Zhuo didn't know what happened in the stands, but he knew that his time was running out. In the past ten minutes, he still didn't get a good chance.
One is that his teammates no longer trust him and rarely pass the ball to himself. Second, Alkmaar is at a disadvantage overall and it is difficult to play an effective offense.
However, he did not give up. Wang Feng's figure kept flashing in his mind. Dongfang Zhuo gradually forgot the domestic youth training and began to try to play football with his eyes and brain.
Ajax broke through the home team's goal twice in the 17th and 31st minutes, which made the Alkmaar fans in the stands very dissatisfied, and there were endless voices of abuse and curses.
On the sidelines, coach Van Gaal frowned and stared at his watch. He finally couldn't help it, and waved for Van Sel to warm up. Even if the breach of the contract caused losses to the club, he couldn't take care of it at this time, and the replacement would do nothing. Dongfang Zhuo is what a wise head coach should do.
But at this moment, the situation on the court changed suddenly. The core of Alkmaar's attack, Averazze received the ball from the left. Ajax defender Stam defended him very tightly, so he stepped on the ball with his back and turned back. Lap, then cut inward with the ball.
At this time, another defender of the visiting team, Vermaelen, saw this and quickly stepped forward to block it. Two defensive players flanked each other. Avilazer had to seek support, while Dongfang Zhuo was standing still near the sideline of the penalty area, with a five-meter area around him. Unmarked, maybe the Ajax defense thinks his threat is very small.
Out of the shooter's intuition, Avilazer saw that Dongfang Zhuo was in a good position, so he passed the ball subconsciously, but he regretted it immediately. In previous games, the Chinese teenager could always waste excellent opportunities, either Returning a pass in embarrassment, or conceding the ball under pressure, did not make the right choice.
But Avilazze still made a further oblique run into the penalty area, which is what a forward should do. After Dongfang Zhuo received the ball sideways, central defender Sneijder and defender Maduro immediately rushed towards him.
But this time he did not make mistakes like before. Instead, he used the outer instep of his right foot to pick the ball into the penalty area quite spiritually, and the ball just passed to the forward Avilazer.
The Georgian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the ball to be passed. In addition, Dongfang Zhuo's control was not so good, and the passing force was a bit strong. As a result, he failed to get the ball at the first time. Still control the ball before it rolls out of the baseline.
At this time, no one was marking him, and Ajax's defensive attention was concentrated in the middle position. No one was marking Avilazze who was advancing from the side of the penalty area. Heitinga in the penalty area saw this and quickly moved towards Avila. Ze's location moves.
But the distance was still a bit too far. After adjusting, the Georgian decisively crossed to the back point. A figure flashed by and pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal with the inside of his right foot. The ball hit the net.
"...Goal scored! Dongfang Zhuo scored! Beautiful! He finally broke the scoring drought!"
"Alkmaar formed a wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt of Ajax~www.mtlnovel.com~ And the protagonist of this cooperation goal is our young player Dongfang Zhuo!"
"Oh my god, I couldn't believe my eyes. It turns out that apart from Wang Feng, we really have players who can complete such a beautiful offensive organization. Dongfang Zhuo did not disappoint us!"
"Look at the replay of the ball again. After receiving the ball from Avilazze, he directly passed the penalty area without any hesitation, which just formed a cooperation with the Georgian who advanced."
"When the ball was passed, Dongfang Zhuo didn't just stand there, but immediately turned around and ran towards the back of the penalty area. This is the consciousness of a top shooter! Avilazer will definitely choose to shoot from a small angle or cross the goal It is the best choice to enter the penalty area and wait for the opportunity."
"Sure enough, the ball came, and his finishing kick was very calm, which made this goal. This is Dongfang Zhuo's fourth goal since he landed in the Eredivisie, but it is the most exciting one!"
