Chapter 26: Betting match

It is also the museum with the longest opening hours. Although it does not occupy a large area, the exhibitions related to sex are very dazzling: the collection of erotic palaces from various countries, sexual intercourse dolls of various materials, and all things that are considered undisclosed in general occasions have become displays here. Visitors visiting this museum with high curiosity is also a different experience in travel.

This is Mark's first time visiting this legendary museum. Mark's trip was suddenly interrupted, so he had never visited here. This time it made up for the regrets last time. In fact, the reason why Mark went in was completely curious.

After leaving the museum, Mark felt that there was nothing else to do. Mark went to Ajax's training base for extra training. Anyway, there was no time to rest at the training base. First-line players like Mark could train at any time.

After two hours of training in the gym, Mark returned home with his tired body and went to bed early.

The next morning, Mark saw Momo continue to appear at his home and prepare breakfast for him.

"Good morning, Momo, why did you appear again today? I thought you were not here anymore." Mark asked in confusion, because Momo hadn't come to make breakfast for himself for several days. Mark always ordered takeaways in Chinese restaurants or ate them by himself. Although he was a little uncomfortable, Mark had no choice. Not liing to bother others is Mark's advantage. Although Momo is his agent now, Mark felt that he should not bother Momo.

"Sorry, I left a little anxiously at that time. I left you a note. Didn't you notice?" Momo said without looking back.

"Note? I didn't see it," Mark said, scratching his head and getting up on the bed and putting on his clothes.

"Oh, that's right. My dad suddenly had a heart attack. I hurried home. I was so sorry if I didn't say to you." Momo continued to make breakfast.

"It's okay, how is your father doing now? Why do you suddenly get breakfast?" Mark asked with concern.

"That's because I sent all the 50,000 euros signed back home. My father had a heart attack when he was excited. Alas! I originally wanted to give him a surprise, but it turned out to be a scare. But now my father's condition has stabilized."

"Oh, actually you should spend more time with your uncle. I have nothing to do here." Mark really wanted to laugh when he heard Momo say that his father was frightened by 50,000 euros, but he immediately adjusted his emotions and comforted Momo.

"It's okay, I am your agent now, you are equivalent to my boss. Taking care of you is the only thing I have to do, but I have to thank you for your good things, Mark. It is because of your appearance that I can do what I want to do, and I don't have to be under pressure from home." Momo turned around for the first time and said to Mark with a shy smile.

Momo's action made Mark stunned, but Mark did not ask what kind of pressure Momo's home put on him. This was not something Mark needed to care about. Anyway, Mark felt that if Momo had something to do, he would say it to him. If she didn't want to say something, it would be useless even if she asked.

After Mark finished breakfast, he came to the training ground. What surprised Mark today was that everyone had arrived early, and Mark was a little doubtful that there was something wrong with his watch. "Are you late?" Mark thought to himself.

"Mark, you're here," Koeman smiled after seeing Mark in the locker room and said, "You're still on time as always. Professional players should be like you, otherwise it wouldn't work."

Mark thought that this was all the same. This morning, he silently smiled at himself. Koeman smiled at him now. It seemed that these two people were not like this before. Why is the world not so normal now?

"Are I too tired yesterday and haven't woken up in my dreams?"

"Ouch" Ibrahimovic jumped up and said loudly to Mark: "Mark, why are you doing pinching my butt? I have no interest in men."

"Oh, then I'm not dreaming, forget it, let's see what happens next," Mark thought to himself.

All the players who came to the training ground were ready. Head coach Koeman announced that all the players' leave will be cancelled this week and the daily training intensity will be doubled.

"Oh my God" As soon as Koman finished speaking, many players couldn't help complaining. In fact, such a thing is not too much. After all, Ajax lost in the last game, so there are still some rewards for losing, so Koman's strict requirements are not too much.

But originally Dutch football grew up in a relatively relaxed environment, and Koeman suddenly played such a skilled iron-blooded player, so the complaints sounded.

"Our team did a bad job in the last game. Our training tasks this week were not very heavy, but because your performance in the last game made me very unsatisfied, I decided that the training volume this week was twice as much as usual." Koeman's voice shocked everyone's heart.

Although these players had their own plans, Koeman suddenly complained about this. After all, no player is willing to train heavily every day. In addition to football, they also need to do many other things, such as lingering in nightclubs at night, etc.

However, although the players had complaints in their hearts, they didn't dare to confront the head coach openly. After all, they did not perform well in the last game and lost the game. The players who played had no excuses, and the players who did not play did not dare to say anything. If they offend the head coach now, they would definitely stay in the reserve team until the end of the contract.

Although Koeman did not lead Ajax to make a breakthrough in European competitions this season, and was even kicked out in a shameful manner, Ajax's performance in the league is still very good, and he is now four points ahead of second place Eindhoven. He is very likely to win the Eredivisie championship this season, so the board of directors is still satisfied with Koeman's current performance.

At this time, even the thorny Ibrahimovic inwardly did not make any statement. You should know that Ibrahimovic is famous for his big mouth. He often had some conflicts with the head coach and his teammates. However, Ibrahimovic played for 90 minutes in the last game and never had an outstanding performance, so he decided not to say anything.

"Coach, I think your approach is inappropriate." Just when everyone was expecting others to say something, someone really stood up. This person was Mark: "I think it's better to see how the players perform in the next game than just training like this. If they perform well, they won't be punished. If they perform poorly, they will be punished. If they perform poorly, they will be punished for ten days. If they perform poorly, they will be punished for ten days.

The players felt that Mark's words made sense. After all, this also gave themselves a chance to save themselves from being trained by the devil. If they really performed poorly in one game, there might be something else to say. If they didn't perform well in two games, they would be completely speechless. Not to mention ten days, even if they doubled in a month, there would be no complaints.

"I think this is OK," Koeman nodded first, and then he looked at the team members and said, "What do you think?"

"No problem!" Ajax's players said in unison. The players nowadays love Mark so much, it was Mark who saved their vacation.

"Okay, that's it, then I won't practice more. I'm looking forward to your next performance." After saying that, Koeman directed the coaches to train against the Golgo players.

At this time, Van der Fate ran over and said, "Mark is really thankful to you. I was already going out with Sylvia tonight. If I really trained twice the intensity, I really don't know what to do.

The remaining players came to express their gratitude to Mark. After a long time of training, they made it all the arrangements, so Mark became depressed because he had not arranged it yet. Christmas is not yet. Although Colos said he would come back to celebrate Christmas with him, Mark knew that the profession of modeling was not accurate, and he didn't know if he would come in advance. If something suddenly happened, Mark felt that he would really have to celebrate Christmas alone.

Now I am abroad, so going home is a good plan, but it doesn’t mean it if I’m too rushing, because it’s just a Christmas holiday now, and Chinese people don’t seem to have much feelings about Christmas, especially for elderly people like Mark’s parents, and young people may be able to go out and have fun.

However, there is still some time before Christmas. Koman has followed his promise in the following training. He does not train players with high intensity. The daily training is regular training and nothing special. However, every player knows that these are temporary. If all these training tasks are really done, he will score at least three goals in the next game, the 15th round against Udrecht, and he cannot concede. Originally, the opponent Ajax should have played against him should have been against Lodda, who ranked eighth in the 14th round, but because Lodda participated in the Dutch Cup, there was a conflict with Ajax on the date, so the game was put into January.

Now Ajax has been eliminated in the two-line team, was eliminated in the Champions League, and was eliminated by his old rival Eindhoven in the Netherlands Cup. Therefore, this season's Eredivisie is their only pursuit this season.

Time soon came on December 14th. Ajax played against Utrecht at home. Utrecht is a typical defensive counterattack style team. They have an excellent striker Paulusroiha. He scored half of Utrecht's goals now. It can be said without hesitation that once Royha is silent, the Utrecht team's offensive strength will shrink by about half.

Before the game, head coach Koeman still made relevant arrangements. Although all the players of his team have made bets, after all, intensive training is to teach the players a lesson, which is also to enable the players to perform better on the court in the future. Therefore, abuse of players is not the purpose, winning the game is the ultimate goal.

The current situation is who will guard the opponent's arrow character Royha. Such a player must have sufficient physical strength and quick reaction nerves. It seems that only Mark can complete such a heavy responsibility in the entire team of Ajax, but Mark's position in the midfield is very important. Koeman is also somewhat concerned about whether it is better to let Mark mark Royha or to let Mark fill the players' positions.

"Coach, let me keep an eye on Royha. I promise that he will not have the chance to shoot in the penalty area in this game." Mark took the lead in asking for the game.

"Although Mark is a good candidate, your offensive ability is also very important to our team. If you go to the backcourt to mark Royha, how do you attack? I don't want to see you appear in the opponent's penalty area when setting the ball. You are the fastest player in the team. I think you should make up for your teammates in the midfield." Koeman explained to Mark.

Mark naturally has no objection to such an arrangement. Anyway, whatever the head coach says is, Mark has no plans to be a head coach yet. Mark will not naively think that his tactical qualities will be higher than Koeman. After all, Koeman was still a primary school student when he was in Ajax and Barcelona.

"Mark, let me leave it to me," said central defender Hetinga after slapped his chest and said, "I will definitely make him feel in pain in this game."

Mark smiled and thought to himself: "You passionate man lose your position at any time. If you keep a guard against Royha, it's really a bit worrying." But Mark didn't say it. If he said it, he and Heatinga would become mortal enemies. Although Mark had no friendship with Heatinga, they were all teammates after all. Mark had no disgust towards Heatinga. It was always much better in a relatively harmonious environment than in a harsh environment.

After Koeman assigned the task of the galaxy, the team entered the court. In this game, Ajax appeared with great momentum. Only one change was made in the starting lineup and the starting lineup against Bruges. This change was that Mark appeared in the starting lineup, and he replaced Galassek.

The current midfielder De Jong and Mark are two bodyguards who escorted Van der Fate, but after the beginning of the game, Ajax's players discovered that the formation of Udrecht in this game was the full-strength defensive formation in April and May 1, with only one single striker Royha cruising in front.

Although the head coach also predicted that Utrecht would adopt a conservative formation after the opening, he did not expect that only five people in Utrecht's midfield today would send four defensive midfielders. This was simply the midfielder of the meat grinder. It was obvious that Ajax was not prepared enough for Utrecht. Utrecht's powerful midfield interception seemed to be a sudden Ajax was fooled.

Originally, Ajax's midfielder did not have the advantage in terms of number of players. They only had three midfielders, and only Van der Fate had the ability to pass the ball. The remaining ones except Mark's passing ability can only be said to be average, and the accuracy of passing the ball is not high. Another midfielder De Jong was born for defense, and he would hardly do anything except defense.

But the giants are giants, and the people who can play football in the giants are not weak. Although Ajax's midfielder was very embarrassed by the Utrecht's midfielder ten minutes before the opening, they quickly adjusted and found the loophole in Utrecht.

The powerful interception midfielder composed of Mark and De Jong has played a very strong role, especially Mark is now alone in the midfield against Utrecht. Although Mark feels it is difficult, Mark is now gritting his teeth and persevering.

"Isn't it just grabbing the ball? I can do it," Mark shouted while doing the ball grabbing.

After seeing Mark's momentum, De Jong felt that he could not be defeated by Mark, so the two of them issued a strong challenge to the midfield meat grinder in Udrecht in midfield.

"So what if there are too many people? Are our Ajax players afraid of you who play football in rural teams? Brothers, we have fought with them. Now we are playing football with conditions. Even if we use all our strength now, we have to fulfill our pre-match promise." Mark shouted to his teammates around him more and more excitedly.

Mark is easily infectious. You should know that a player who is full of energy can often lead the people around you to inadvertently strengthen his fighting spirit. It is obvious that Mark is such a person who can drive morale.

"If you fight, you must score three goals." Now Ajax's two wingers have also returned to their own half to participate in the defense. The number of Ajax and Udrecht is temporarily balanced, with five midfielders.

The head coach and players of Utrecht were also very puzzled. Today's Ajax seemed to have changed. Before, Ajax played the ball in his hands and had always been slow. Today's posture seemed to have to swallow Utrecht in one bite. Fortunately, he prepared to play four defensive midfielders before the game, in order to control the midfield and prevent Ajax from passing the ball comfortably, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack. Although he was satisfied with Utrecht, it would be great if he could score three-pointers away. Now, Utrecht did a good job. Although the scene became flat after the tough performance at the beginning, it was obvious that Ajax could not find any better chance to score### Chapter 27: Completely defeating his opponent

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was still zero to zero, and no one could knock on the opponent's door. Although Ajax had a lot more chances in the first half than Utrecht, it was obvious that Ajax did not have any good absolute chances. Mark has now dispersed too much energy in the battle with Utrecht's midfielder, even if he wanted to help the offense, there was no better way.

All Ajax players who came to the locker room were depressed. Since they did not score in the first half, the players knew that it would be even harder to play in the second half. That was because Utrecht would use tougher defense to disrupt their offense in the second half. The longer the time was, the more confident the Utrecht players would be.

"Brothers, we can't play like this in the second half. We need to fight against our opponents instead of letting our opponents fight against us. If this continues, we will not only accept punishment and practice for ten days, but also make Udrecht look down on us. We are the Ajax team, the entire Dutch king team. Brothers don't want to prove that we are stronger than all teams?" Mark took advantage of the fact that head coach Koemann had not come in yet. This is what Mark wanted to do most, because Mark doesn't like failure, especially such failure. Scoring three goals without conceding goals is not a problem for a team like Ajax. The thing now is that the players do not have a spirit of fighting.

"Okay said," at this time, head coach Koeman walked in and said, "In the second half, Babel played the left winger, Sneijder played the midfield. Mark, you played the forward, Zlatan, you played the right winger, you and Mark changed positions. Mark, your position is the front robber, I need you to keep running and intercepting in the frontcourt. Do you understand if you want to mess up the backcourt of Udrecht. "

After everyone nodded, Koeman arranged the next tactics on the tactical board, the positions where each player should appear next, and the routes when defending and offensively.

After the second half, everyone was shocked. Mark, who fought in the midfield in the first half, actually appeared at the forward position in the second half, and Ibrahimovic appeared on the right.

"Guide Ma, what is the intention of Ajax's substitution adjustment in the second half?" In the broadcast room of Liaoning TV, host Wang Bing asked the broadcast consultant Ma Lin around him.

"I think this issue is probably because Coach Koeman was not very satisfied with Ajax's offense in the first half. He asked Mark to play the striker to use his speed to hit the opponent's defense. After all, Mark's offensive ability is too wasteful in the midfield." Marin talked in front of the microphone.

"So that's the case. If it weren't for Coach Ma, we wouldn't have seen it," Wang Bing also said holding it aside.

The changes on the court were really shocking. After the half-time game started, Ajax actually used the tactic of pressing the whole game. Mark frantically counterattacked in the frontcourt of Utrecht alone. Mark is now as excited as a hunting dog and encountering a rabbit. Almost every Utrecht defender will definitely rush over to intercept the ball in less than a few seconds after taking the ball.

The advantage of Mark's tireless counterattack in the frontcourt is that Utrecht's pass error rate has increased. Almost every defender will choose to drive to the frontcourt with big feet. After all, Mark's speed is too fast. If he is accidentally interrupted, it will be a nightmare if the defender is intercepted. Therefore, Utrecht's attack is simply a mess. The consequence of the big feet kickoff is that the football is either destroyed by Ajax's players or directly obtained by Ajax's players and then continues to organize the attack.

Mark's hard work was not in vain. In the 55th minute, Mark's steal in the frontcourt really achieved results. Under Mark's press, the defender of Udrecht did not stop the ball after receiving the ball. Mark directly cut the ball with a slippery tackle and then led it into the penalty area. With the goalkeeper of Udrecht attacking, Mark passed to the right to the unmarked Ibrahimovic, who was unmarked. Ibrahimovic directly pushed the ball into the empty goal and scored.

"gooooooooal! Zlatan Ibrahimovic. What a beautiful goal."

"Great, this goal is so beautiful," commentator Wang Bing, in the broadcast hall of Liaoning TV, also said excitedly: "Ninety percent of this goal is credited by Mark. Ibrahimovic just needs to push the ball into the empty goal. Mark is simply the pride of China. What coach has trained such a player."

Marin, who was standing by, was also embarrassed to hear Wang Bing's words, because as the coach of the Liaoning team, Malin still knew some of Mark's stories. The waste defender was terminated because he offended someone in the club. Unexpectedly, he went to the Netherlands to shine. Is this the sorrow of Chinese football? Is Chinese football unable to discover the potential of players?

Of course, this topic needs to be thought about for a long time, and maybe he will never understand it in his life. Now he can only continue to pay attention to his fellow Liaoning villager's performance in Ajax.

"Look at what Ibrahimovic is doing. He pointed to the number behind Mark. That means that this goal is entirely Mark's credit." Commentator Wang Bing discovered an interesting scene on the court and said: "Ibrahimovic is an arrogant killer, but he will not do it easily. Unexpectedly, Chinese player Mark actually impressed this arrogant shooter."

After Ibrahimovic finished this action, the Ajax fans all applauded, and they seemed to be satisfied with Ibrahimovic's performance and were also happy with what Mark did.

"Thank you Mark, your pass is so comfortable," Ibrahimovic said, hugging Mark's neck.

"Haha, you're welcome, Zlatan, I'm just not very confident about my shooting skills. After all, such a good opportunity should be left to players with better shooting skills." Mark is to be honest. He is really not very confident about his shooting skills. Basically, Mark never shoots, because of position, Mark doesn't need to shoot. If the coach asks him to attack, he just needs to head the ball to solve the battle. Mark's experience is focused on defensive training.

Although Mark is telling the truth, Ibrahimovic was very happy when he listened. This is equivalent to complimenting his good shooting skills in disguise. Although Ibrahimovic is not a very unique striker now, he also likes to score goals. However, due to Koman's tactical requirements, Ibrahimovic's goal rate has not been very high, which is why he often provides support and assists to his teammates. But now Mark has appeared, and with Mark as support Ibrahimovic Ibrahimovic feels that he is so cool now.

The players in Utrecht were all stunned. The meat grinder midfielder who was painstakingly arranged by their head coach for 55 minutes, but they didn't expect that they would be ruined by Mark, the meat grinder striker. Now that they have conceded the goal, there is no need to be conservative.

Utrecht's head coach Boy, who has a hot temper and a tough temperament, remembers the whole of the Netherlands for a lifetime, is not a conservative coach. He played so depressed in this game because of tactical relationships. Now his desire to tie the game has failed. All he has to do is to attack and have a chance to win a draw or even overtake the game. So Boy directly replaced two offensive players to strengthen the team's offense.

Both players are forwards. Utrecht is now playing three forwards. The formation of 4333 is the same as that of Ajax. Utrecht is now going to attack with offense.

"Mark, go to the backcourt to defend." Head coach Koeman greeted Mark on the forward line. Because he had already scored a goal, Mark's mission had been completed. The next step is to rely on the team's offensive players to perform. Now Ajax's two forwards, Ibrahimovic and Babel, are all-round and tall, and the other is very fast and also have excellent skills. These two players are one high and one fast, which is simply a weapon for counterattack.

Moreover, there are two passers in the midfield, Van der Fatt and Sneed. Their footwork was not given in vain. Now Ajax has launched a counterattack steadily, and the defensive counterattack can also reduce the consumption of physical energy. After all, Ajax's players have consumed a lot of physical energy during this period.

Although Mark is the only one who competes in the frontcourt, Mark's physical fitness is incomparable to others. Who is Mark now? He is a person with a plug-in. No one in today's football world can compare with him. Although Mark's skills are not yet mature, one day Mark will surpass those well-known stars in history to become the most special existence.

Now when I return to the court, Utrecht kicked off in the midfield after the referee's whistle sounded. However, although Utrecht is a three-forward formation, Ajax's players were very focused in their mental power and still failed to make any fatal mistakes that Utrecht seized the opportunity to score.

The game is in a stalemate. The players in Utrecht are very anxious, and the players in Ajax are also very anxious. The players in Utrecht are anxious because they want to equalize the score as soon as possible, while the players in Ajax are only anxious because they want to expand the score as soon as possible.
To be continued...
