Chapter 504 The most familiar away game
It's still January 9.
Long Shute was very busy that day.
He had just received multiple trophies in Munich in the afternoon, and he was already sitting on the bench at the San Siro Stadium in the evening.
AC Milan ushered in the opponent of the sixth round of the league - Sampdoria with a semi-substitute lineup.
After all, just after a week of double matches, Milan, with many veterans, needs a proper rotation, including Kaka, Abbiati, Montolivo, Balotelli, De Jong, Abate, Emmanuel Sen and other players. was excluded from the starting lineup.
Then the audience saw a group of substitute players and Sampdoria played an exciting offensive and defensive battle for most of the half, but the score was still only 0-0.
Sitting on the strength of the home court, Milan was beaten 15-[-] by the guests from afar. Whether it is offense or defense, it is hard to see that one of the two sides in this game is ranked first, and the other is ranked [-]th... …
Huang Feixiang, who was in charge of the commentary, could only pose as an ancient fan:
"Ah, as early as the 90s of last century, the heyday of Italian football, Sampdoria, one of the seven sisters of Serie A, was also a famous team. We can't underestimate them because of their achievements in recent years, because... There are no underdogs in Serie A!"
Then he watched as Long Shute stood up from the bench and trotted onto the court. Taking advantage of the 80 minutes of the game approaching, most of the Sampdoria players were physically weak and scored two goals with overhead kicks. Balotelli made the icing on the cake with a direct free kick, and the final score was fixed at 3-0...
After this game, Long Shute, who scored twice, was criticized unexpectedly:
"Going back to Munich to receive the award before the competition! Long Shute disrespects Italy!"
"The home team can't beat the underdogs, AC Milan is rubbish!"
"AC Milan almost lost the first season of the season, and everything is rooted in him!"
"The series of hat-tricks is over! Sampdoria is showing the way for all Serie A!"
"Indulging in the past trophies is worse than focusing on the present! Long Shute can't lie on the credit book and sleep!"
"Milan's ills are fully exposed: the strength of the substitute lineup is weak, how to fight on multiple lines with such depth?"
……
Originally, Long Shute would only see these headlines in the domestic media, but he did not expect to see similar "incisive analysis" in Italy, which made him shake his head and laugh at himself.
Fortunately, it is only in Italy now. If it is in England, I am afraid that what he said to Allegri before coming off the bench will be reported by those all-pervasive reporters. Those people will even hire so-called lip language experts and psychological mentors. A "rigorous" analysis of each word leads to the conclusion that "Long Shute is really a cancer", "every movement and every expression of his reveals a full of cancer"...
Of course, in the context of Milan continuing to win, these dissenting voices will often be ignored, or as small jokes, but when Milan really loses, these comments will immediately become louder, and Long Special The justification was completely drowned out.
Fortunately, Long Shute didn't have to think about this issue yet.
One day later, on September 9, he traveled with the team to the city he was most familiar with.
The capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam.
-
It is still the city full of feasting lights, neon lights, and aromas.
On the criss-cross road cut by the river, all kinds of citizens still flash past on bicycles.
In the cheap display windows along the canal, those scantily clad technicians are still showing off their exquisite curves, attracting customers to relax.
"Ulby, are you Dutch?"
Someone asked Emmanuel Sen.
The Dutch full-back patted his chest and boasted to his teammates:
"In the evening, I invite you to go to the best night club in Amsterdam, and let you see our Tulip's Heaven and Earth and Sea and Sky Feast! If you want to go, come and sign up!"
-
Long Shute rejected the old friend's invitation. He went to the community where he used to live alone, visited several neighbors who took good care of him, and gave them a little gift.
He also came to the future training base and sent a few tickets to Ajax's old goalkeeper Tony McMaraman.
Looking at the fast-growing Long Shute, Mike Malaman couldn't help feeling that time flies:
"Remember when you first came here, you just reached my chest? I didn't expect you to be half a head taller than me now!"
Long Shute nodded with a smile, but said something in his heart:
I was 16 when I joined Ajax, how could it be on your chest?
-
May 10 is just around the corner.
After two years and four months, Long Shute once again set foot on the field he is most familiar with.
Amsterdam Arena.
Most stadiums will have a practice during the game. The on-site DJ will passionately introduce the team's starting players, so as to create a massive atmosphere at home.
In this ceremony, everyone can clearly identify who is the fans' favorite player through the level of the fans' shouts.
On the evening of this day, after introducing the team's 11 starting players, Ajax's live DJ paused for a while, and then raised his voice again:
"Now...welcome our former captain, the hero who led Ajax back to the top of Europe, Long Shute!"
-
In fact, Long Shute can only be regarded as the former vice-captain of Ajax, but it is understandable that DJ removed the word "deputy" in order to enhance the atmosphere.
What's more, even Suarez, the first captain at the time, frankly admitted that in that incredible season, Long Shute's role in the team's winning of the Triple Crown was more important than himself.
Although it was only for a short period of time, Long Shute was undoubtedly the most charismatic one in this club, and he also officially entered the ranks of European first-tier stars with his amazing performance that season.
For Long Shute, the two seasons in Ajax are always worth remembering.
For Ajax, Long Shute is the superstar they have cultivated.
-
"Haha, Daly, long time no see, and this one, Sim...captain."
Before leaving the player tunnel, Long Shute had a cordial conversation with his former comrades-in-arms.
Ajax back then could be described as a gathering of heroes, but only two years later, those main players basically all went to a higher and bigger stage. Today, only his former midfield partner Sim - De Jong, and close roommate Daley Blind.
In the championship team that swept across Europe, captain Suarez went to Liverpool, vice-captain Long Shute came to Milan via Bayern, and third captain and main goalkeeper Steglenberg went to Fulham via Rome. Luis Enno also played for Fulham, defender van der Weil went to Greater Paris, Belgian defense duo Vertonghen and Alderweireld went to Tottenham and Atletico Madrid respectively, and finally joined Tottenham. The youngest genius among them, the Danish teenager Elkeson, was also summoned by them to Tottenham...
This is the situation at Ajax.
Even if they won the Champions League in 2011, there is no way to restore their decline.
A great championship trophy, an unbelievable miraculous experience, but their players can sell millions of euros in the transfer market.
Long Shute misses this place very much.
But he didn't miss it at all.
He wants to prove one thing to his former fans and teammates:
He is the strongest player trained by Ajax!
Cruyff, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, Kluivert, Stam, Ibrahimovic, Seedorf, Sneijder, Suarez... Add up to be stronger!
