Chapter 32 Swan takes off

At this time, Ajax's midfield operation was much better than after the opening. They were not scared by the goal conceded just now. Although Mark and O'Brien had a dispute, captain Van der Fate also got rid of the sluggishness before the opening. Now he got the ball in the midfield and organized the movement. He still restored his basic qualities of a talented player. He took the ball, got rid of it, and passed the ball. Especially with two midfielders, Mark and De Jong, who were protecting him. Once Van der Fate concedes the ball, the two immediately counterattacked on the spot. After grabbing it, they were handed over to Van der Fate to organize the attack.

Van der Fate's personal skills also played a great advantage. His large-scale running allowed the two midfielders Van Bomel and Voger who were guarding him to consume a lot of physical fitness. The attacks of both sides were intertwined. However, Ajax's defense line is really heartbreaking. O'Brien obviously has not recovered from the mistake just now, and hesitated on several defenses. If Mark hadn't often ran over from the midfield to fill O'Brien, Ajax might have conceded the goal in advance. Coach Koeman could not have shouted on the sidelines that Heatinga would go to defend Kezhmann and the effect would have improved slightly.

However, although Heatinga's frigid personality is able to often destroy football before Kezman, he sometimes loses his position. Although he doesn't have many times, he often has the chance to rewrite the score with one chance.

If it weren't for Stellenburg's outstanding performance, the scores of the two teams would have been rewritten.

Fortunately, after the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half game, the score between the two teams remained one-to-one.

The players of the two teams entered the team's locker room with different moods. Eindhoven's players were a little regretful because their chances were Ajaxdo in the first half and they expressed dissatisfaction with the draw.

The Ajax players were very depressed because the team's defense line in today's game was like a time bomb, especially O'Brien's performance was too sluggish. Although the players would not directly curse like Mark, they were still very dissatisfied with O'Brien.

When the Ajax players entered the locker room, the head coach had already been waiting for these players with a gloomy expression. The players now feel "killed intent". That's right, it's the murderous intent emitted by head coach Koeman.

Now the players who made mistakes in the first half are now nervous. They don’t know how angry the head coach Koeman will burst out. You should know that Koeman is not a good-tempered coach. Tough and hot is synonymous with him. He left a deep impression in his player age. Now, after becoming a head coach, they all know that the head coach Koeman’s temper has not decreased with his age.

"Mark, close the door." Koeman's first sentence was to ask Mark to close the door behind him, because Mark was the last one to walk into the locker room after the player.

"You guys fucked like trash in the first half. Is their Eindhoven so fucking scary? Did they just make you look like that coward just because they were the champions of last season?" Head coach Koeman waited for Mark to close the door and then suddenly exploded.

Koeman's outburst scared Mark. Although Mark had heard Koeman's roar before, it seemed that the voice was particularly loud this time.

All the players lowered their heads and dared not look at Koman's eyes. Only Mark raised his head and looked at Koman's hideous expression without any worries. Mark suddenly had an idea that if he took a photo of Koman's current expression and posted it online, it would be very interesting.

Koeman nodded with satisfaction after looking at Mark without evading his eyes. In fact, Mark was the only player he was more satisfied with in the first half. In the first half, Mark basically limited Eindhoven's left winger Robben's offensive power, and also ran to the penalty area many times to help Ajax's defender make up for the place. Even Koeman had no reason to scold such a hard-working player.

"Look up, we will make substitution adjustments in the second half. John O'Brien, you will be out of the field. Yakub, you will play Mark's position in the second half. Mark will play central defender. Remember your task is to keep a close eye on Kazhman." Koeman explained the substitution adjustment in the second half. O'Brien was finally replaced directly by Koeman, and Mark began to play his central defender.

"No problem coach, I promise to let Kejimann have no chance to catch the ball in the second half." Mark slapped his chest and assured head coach Koemann. At the same time, Mark also glanced at O'Brien who was replaced by head coach Koemann.

O'Brien is sitting in a chair and lowers his head. When head coach Koeman changes him, he raises his head and then quickly lowers his head. He is like a defeated cockerel and makes no noise in the corner. When he hears Mark wanting to play center back again, O'Brien raises his head again, and then he sees Mark's arrogant eyes looking at him. O'Brien really wants to throw the towel directly into Mark's face and step on his arrogant face.

However, O'Brien does not have the courage to do that in front of Koeman. If he really dares to do this, let alone the head coach's reaction, even the players will definitely not support him. He, a player from the United States, is not valued in the Netherlands, and Mark has a close friend in the team, such as captain Van der Fate and rookie Babel, both of Mark's best friends. If he does it himself, these people will definitely not sit idly by. These people also have a few good friends. Doing this will only make him attack everywhere. The most important thing is that Mark is the best Ajax player in the first half. He intercepted countless times and scored a goal. However, he made a fatal mistake on the court, causing the team to lose points, so O'Brien needs to be patient now, but the next sentence of Mark made O'Brien unable to bear it anymore.

"Coach, let Heatinga go to the midfield in the second half. I am the only one in the penalty area to completely limit Kezman. He is simply not enough. If you asked me to guard him earlier, then we will lead in the first half." Mark said while looking at O'Brien provocatively, and it seemed that you were saying that you lost points in the first half.

"What did you say? You dare to look down on me." At this time, O'Brien jumped up and rushed towards Mark. He had lost his calmness and asked for a punch at Mark.

But soon he was directly pulled by his teammates. At this time, head coach Koeman also scolded: "John, what are you doing? Is this the spirit of your professional player? It seems that you need to reflect on it. Your performance in the first half is like a wandering soul and you actually showed your mightyness in the locker room."

"Coach, this is not the case. Mark's tone is too big. He said he can stare at Kezman. Kezman is the top scorer in the Eredivisie now. It's not that I make excuses for my performance on the court. However, Kezman's running position is indeed very erratic. It's difficult to completely limit him, I think Mark shouldn't do it." O'Brien explained to head coach Koeman.

"What if I can?" Mark took the conversation and asked O'Brien.

"If you can make Kejimann score in the second half, I will go to the reserve team to report. What if you can't?" O'Brien asked back.

"Then I'll go" Mark blurted out.

After hearing the conversation between the two, the players felt a breath of air. The bet was too big. Now, Mark and O'Brien said that no matter who can win the bet, one person will go to the reserve team to report it. The players' eyes were all aimed at head coach Koeman, and the players all hoped Koeman could stand up and say something.

"Well, this is the application of both of you, I agree." Koeman surprised the players as soon as he opened his mouth. Koeman actually agreed to bets like a joke on these two players.

In fact, Koeman also has his little plan in his heart. If Mark wins, he will play O'Brien directly to the reserve team. Koeman has lost confidence in O'Brien, especially his poor performance on the court and arguing with his teammates, which has made Koeman's heart that strictly governs the army and has a heart of killing and warning him.

And even if Mark lost this time, Koeman would find an opportunity to let O'Brien go to the reserve team to reflect on it. Now Mark is an indescribable love in Koeman's heart. Even if Mark really loses, Koeman would ask Mark to stay in the reserve team for two days and find a chance to get him back. That's why Koeman accepted the two of them very readily. The bet has not yet begun. In fact, the winner has already been decided in the minds of head coach Koeman.

However, the two people involved did not know what head coach Koeman was thinking. Mark was also confident that he could keep Kaeman. Anyway, Kaeman's advantage was that he was fast, and the speed was just his advantage. Mark was very confident that he could keep Kaeman, so Mark accepted such bets.

Koeman then arranged the tactics on the court. After everything was arranged, Koeman inspired the players and said

"Young guys, remember that you are players of Ajax, the greatest club in the Netherlands. Be sure to kill the country bumpkin team Eindhoven for me."

"Kill Eindhoven and win the league championship" Mark shouted in the lead.

"Oh, kill them." The players rushed out of the locker room whirred.

In fact, every coach will do the team that scolds the other party in the locker room. This is also one of the secrets of the locker room, so the locker room needs to be sealed well and people cannot know what the people in the locker room say. If this is spread, it will be headlined by the newspaper. However, Eindhoven's head coach Hiddink will also use the method of scolding Ajax to motivate the players.

After the second half, Keriman discovered that the defensive player around him had changed to another defensive player. The man was more than ten centimeters taller than him, and his speed and explosiveness were good. Keriman would soon find that this player would be the beginning of his tragedy in the game.

After the start of the second half, Robben attacked from the left. After missing Mark's pressing against him, Robben felt much more relaxed. However, although the newly-playing Yakub is not as fast as Mark's speed, his abundant physical fitness and strong body still caused some trouble to Robben. However, although Robben cannot break through at will in the pressing defense of Yakub and Trabelsey, compared with Mark's tight marking against him in the first half, Robben can pass the football.

Shortly after the opening, Robben made a cross from the left, and this time Robben passed a half-high ball. Although Kejiman was not tall, heading the ball as a center-style figure is also one of the scoring methods he is good at.

Robben passed the ball quickly and tied. After Kezman jumped up, he would head the ball and shoot, but Mark, who defended Kezman, jumped up and headed the ball to clear the ball.

"Is the speed very fast and the bounce is also very good." After Kezmann didn't receive the football, he couldn't help but think in his heart.

However, Ajax's offensive opportunity was destroyed by Eindhoven. This time Eindhoven came to the right to attack. Right winger Romedal once again used his speed advantage to pass Maxville and then passed the penalty area diagonally. This time it was a ground rolling ball, and Kezmann started again, but he found that Mark, who was originally behind him, suddenly accelerated and rushed to his front and got the football and passed it directly to the midfielder De Jong.

"Just these two moves, the Dutch Eredivisie shooter king?" Mark asked at Keriman after intercepting the ball.

"You kid, wait and see. As long as you give me a chance, I can change the score." Kairiman said confidently. He also has the truth to be confident. After all, the thirty-five league goals in last season were scored by himself.

But Mark seems to be the nemesis of Kezhman. No matter how hard Kezhman works, he never gets a good chance. Kezhman can't get football most of the time. Now Kezhman's running range is gradually expanding. He runs to the side and seeks cooperation with his teammates in the midfield. However, Mark is inseparable from him like a bodyguard. Kezhman can't get rid of Mark even if he throws it.

Originally, the speed advantage and explosive power that Kaizman relied on against tall defenders was not worth mentioning in front of Mark. Mark's explosive power and speed were even better than Kaizman. Moreover, Mark's height and legs were long, so he often could destroy the football passed to him by one big long leg.

Although Mark successfully restricted Kezhman, Ajax's offense was still not strong. Eindhoven seemed to have found a good way to deal with Ajax's offense. Ajax's offense only blooms but does not bear fruit most of the time.

As time goes by, the game is now in the 85th minute. Eindhoven controls the ball. After Ajax's players increase Eindhoven's sideline defense, the defense in the middle is slightly weak. Now Ajax's middle defense is only De Jong and Van der Fate. Yakub is basically helping Trabelssi defend Robben on the wing.

Now that Eindhoven's team Van Bomel got the ball, he passed the ball directly to Vorge and then ran into the penalty area. De Jong saw Vorge and rushed directly to Vorge, but Vorge directly passed the ball to Vorge who had already inserted it. After Van Bomel got the ball, Van der Fate stepped forward to interfere with him, but Van Bomel leaned against Vorge and then directly took a right foot shot. The football went straight to the dead corner of the goal with the sound of wind.

At this time, the goalkeeper Stellenburg rushed to the ground and barely saved the ball, but the football rolled in front of Kezhman. This was definitely an excellent opportunity for Kezhman, who made Mark feel depressed in the half. Kezhman saw the football flew over and was about to shoot. Since Ajax's goalkeeper Stellenburg has fallen to the ground now, as long as Kezhman can hit the football within the goal range, he can score.

Just as Kezman shot the football directly, Kezman, who shot the football, was now preparing for the celebration because he felt that this goal would definitely score.

On the bench of Ajax, O'Brien was also praying that Kezhman could score a goal. He couldn't help but feel happy after seeing Kezhman getting such an opportunity, but O'Brien could not let his teammates see his expression, so he felt very uncomfortable.

But at the moment when Kejiman shot, one leg blocked the ball's flight line. The owner of this leg was Mark. After Mark broke the football, he immediately passed it to the left winger Babel. It has been eighty-five minutes now. After a fierce attack of a game, perhaps only Babel, a player with excellent physical strength, can dribble the ball and sprint wildly.

After Mark passed the ball, he left his defensive player Kezman and began to run like in front. Although Mark was also very tired in this game, he still had the physical strength to perform sprinting.

Babel used his speed to directly hit the opponent's penalty area, then faced Oyer's defense and dunked his left foot to his right foot, and then directly passed a half-high ball in the penalty area.

Now Mark has caught up from behind. After seeing Babel's pass, he flew up like a swan and then headed the ball.

Although there were two central defenders in Eindhoven's penalty area defending, but Mark's power to hit the ball was very powerful and the angle was very tricky. The football flew directly to the upper right corner of Eindhoven's player. The goalkeeper failed to save the ball and flew into the net directly. Ajax overtook the score two-to-one.

"goooooooooooooal!!! The swan has taken off." The commentator also excitedly shouted out Mark's nickname.
