"Next is No. 5 Davinzon Sanchez. This guy was transferred directly from the Colombian league to Ajax. He is here to be the main player. He has performed very well this season. I read in the news that there is no chance of success in the Premier League.
The junior teams are already eyeing him."
"No. 3 is our captain, right back Joel Feltman. He is also a pure Ajax youth training player. He has been promoted from all levels. Compared with De Ligt, he is nothing.
Such a super genius. But those who can play in the first team must reach the basic level of genius. After all, geniuses also have levels."
"Next are the three players in the midfield. The middle one is No. 20 Lasse Schone, the oldest among the starting players. Heerenveen youth training product. After leaving Heerenveen, he went to Graf Sharp and Nijmegen.
, and then transferred to Ajax in 2012."
"The left midfielder is No. 22 Hakim Ziyech, who is also a Heerenveen youth player. He moved to Twente in 2014. Last summer, the team spent 11 million euros to sign him. This is also the case.
The team has spent a relatively large amount of money on signings in recent years.”
"The right midfielder is No. 30 Van de Beek. He is also a youth training player of Ajax. He made his first team debut in November 2015. This season he has gradually become the main force of the team."
"Next is our striker. The left winger is No. 11 Amin Younis. He is a German and a youth training player of Monchengladbach. He was loaned to Kaiserslautern in 2014. 1
He joined Ajax after just one season."
"The center is No. 25 Kaspar Dolberg, a player from the youth training of Hilkeborg, Denmark. He joined the team in the summer window of this season and became the team's main center right away."
"The last starting player is No. 9 Bertrand Traore. He was on loan from Chelsea. There was no buyout. We only rented it for one season, so there is nothing to say."
Filippo said this to Lin Kedi. After finishing speaking, he picked up the water bottle and drank a few big sips.
"Filippo, do you remember all this?"
"Yeah. I have a very deep memory of these things about football. Hey - the game is about to start!"
——
Lin Kedi looked at it very seriously.
When he was in China, when the Jiangcheng team wanted to sign him, they specially sent Lin Kedi tickets to many Jiangcheng Super League games.
However, due to time constraints, Lin Kedi only went to watch a few games at that time, including the game between Guangzhou team and Jiangcheng team. Although it was the home court of Jiangcheng team at the time, the deafening cheers of the Guangzhou team fans still made the audience stunned.
Lin Kedi was shocked when he watched the game live for the first time.
In fact, rationally speaking, the experience of watching live football, simply watching the game, is not as good as watching live TV, because most of them are far away.
But the atmosphere of watching the game live is absolutely incomparable to watching the live broadcast.
That's a huge difference.
At this time, Lin Kedi felt this fanatical atmosphere in the Amsterdam Arena, the home ground of Ajax.
The atmosphere is much stronger than at home.
Ajax fans were cheering and cheering almost from the beginning.
"How wonderful it would be to play on a stadium like this."
Lin Kedi couldn't help but start to imagine himself playing football on this field.
——
The process of the competition can be said to be without any suspense.
Because from the first minute of the game, Ajax kept pressing Copenhagen.
Because before watching this game, Lin Kedi relived the previous round. In the last round, Copenhagen and Ajax played back and forth.
But this time, Copenhagen had no power to fight back.
"Is it really the magic of the home court?"
In the 8th minute, loaned forward Bertrand Traore received a long pass from the backcourt and scored with a volley, 1-0.
The total score is equalized, and there is also an away goal. If the current score reaches the end of the game, then Ajax will advance.
But Ajax is obviously not satisfied with advancing to the next round with more away goals.
Because they are in good condition.
In the 31st minute, Dolberg received a pass from Ziyech on the left and jumped high to head the ball into the net. 2 to 0.
Now Ajax is already 2 goals ahead, and the total score is 3-2.
In the remaining time, Copenhagen failed to organize several effective attacks, and the possession of the ball was always firmly at the feet of Ajax.
However, in the remaining time, Ajax had no fewer than 7 or 8 shooting opportunities, but they either missed directly or missed the target.
The fans didn't boo because the team was now in the lead.
This score remained until the end of the game.
Finally, amid the cheers of the fans, the Ajax players came to the die-hard stands to say goodbye.
Filippo shouted Dolberg's name with great excitement.
"Why, are you his fan?"
"Of course, he is the top scorer in the Ajax team this season. He has scored 20 goals! It's amazing!"
Lin Kedi was also very happy at this time, but not to the level of excitement.
"But I just took a look and he's not on the Eredivisie top scorer list."
"Scroll down and he seems to be No. 8 or No. 9 on the scorer list now."
"Oh! It's true, he ranks 9th among the top scorers in the Eredivisie, with 14 goals."
——
Ajax Future Training Center, inside the first team head coach's office.
Peter Bos looked at assistant coach Crutzen.
"Krutzen, the team's current offensive power is really lacking. In yesterday's game, 2-0 was a good result, but that was caused by the Danish team having no ability to fight back. It was only one goal ahead.
When it comes to promotion. Look at the results, none of the 7 or 8 shots hit the goal frame. What do you mean-"
"Peter, we have advanced after all. Why do you have to worry about this kind of thing."
Bosch didn't say anything, but directly handed over the iPad in his hand.
"Eredivisie top scorer list? Peter, just say what you want to say, there is no one else here."
"Look, how many Ajax players are there in the top 20 Eredivisie scorers?"
"Um - 2."
"Then how many players do you think Feyenoord has, which is currently No. 1 in the standings?"
"Among the top 20 scorers, there are a total of 4 players from Feyenoord——"
At this point, Crutzen couldn't go on.
"And, you see, ranked 15th is Klaassen. He is going to Everton at the end of the season! Outside of 20th, ranked 25th is Traore, who is also a loan player and will end the season.
So he left. Therefore, among our frontcourt attackers, we can only rely on one person, Dolberg! Then how can we compete with Feyenoord? The top scorer is from Feyenoord.
, 3 of the top 10 are from Feyenoord, no wonder they are now ranked first in the standings!"
Crutzen looked at Boss.
"Now is not the time for the transfer window. If you want to improve the team's offensive power, the simplest and most effective way is to tap internal potential."
"Tapping potential internally? You mean transferring people from the second team?"
"Of course, Ajax's youth training is the best in Europe. It is of great benefit to promote youth training players to the first team, both in terms of tactics and other aspects, and Ajax has always
We all have a tradition of reusing young people, and you were criticized by the local newspaper in Amsterdam for not reusing youth players before."
"Yes, what you said makes sense. So, Crutzen, tomorrow - no, it's better for me to go and investigate this matter myself."
"How about the day after tomorrow? The second team has a game the day after tomorrow. It's a home game at the Future Stadium."
"What about tomorrow?"
Bosch asked casually.
"Oh, tomorrow is the U18 team's game at the Future Stadium."
"What about the U19s? They're not playing this week?"
"The U19s have a Youth Champions League match in the middle of the week. So the weekend league has been rescheduled."
"Well, there's no need to worry about it. There's not much difference between U18 and U19. Let's go and watch their game tomorrow."
