Chapter 39 Atypical Ajax
As soon as he entered the locker room, Van der Fate was so angry that he saw Ibrahimovic's appearance. He didn't know how a professional player could be so casual. Is he not a little ashamed?
"Shouldn't you apologize to all of our Ajax players? Are you not wrong with your actions on the court? You are crazy?" Van der Fate opened his mouth and stood on the commanding heights to criticize Ibrahimovic. Van der Fate's words can be said to have brought all the Ajax players with him. Ibrahimovic is now like a cancer of a team.
"Shut up, don't think that you are so great as a captain. I will let you know who the boss of the team is now." As Ibrahimovic said that, he came up and pulled out Van der Fate's collar.
Ibrahimovic's kung fu is really good. He has practiced wrestling and taekwondo, which has greatly improved his physical coordination, so Ibrahimovic was able to make many incredible moves that big players cannot do.
When Mark saw Ibrahimovic going to go over to fight Van der Fate, Mark was also anxious. Van der Fate was only 1.75 meters tall, but his weight of 70 kilograms still made him look a little strong. However, compared to Ibrahimovic's height of 1.95 meters tall, 85 kilograms, the two people were not on the same level. Even if Ibrahimovic pressed, he had to crush Van der Fate to death. So in order to help his friends, in order to teach the arrogant Ibrahimovic a lesson. At this time, Mark came directly behind Ibrahimovic and jumped up and punched him. Ibrahimovic was not at the end after being punched by Mark. He turned his head with a suspicious look to see who hit him.
Mark looked at Ibrahimovic with a little surprised look and immediately punched his big nose. Ibrahimovic's nose was like a dyeing workshop was opened.
Markk had no intention of showing mercy. He saw Ibrahimovic lowering his head and covering his nose and cursing: "Damn it, you bastard, I'm going to kill you."
It is obvious that Mark's punch on Ibrahimovic's nose just now had a good effect. Mark continued to work hard and directly punched Ibrahimovic in the head a few more times. After Ibrahimovic was knocked to the ground by Mark.
All the players were stunned because they knew that Ibrahimovic was very proud and always said that they were so good at kung fu. Then, after seeing his weight, the players thought it would be better not to challenge him, so gradually they developed the arrogant and domineering character that no one could see.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Mark, who is usually approachable and often makes everyone happy, had such a huge profit. He settled the tall Ibrahimovic in a few moments. Now everyone's expression has changed when he sees Mark's expression. Some people are afraid, some people praise, and some people are confused.
In fact, Mark was able to knock down Ibrahimovic because the previous Ibrahimovic's attention was entirely on Van der Fate. He never dreamed that Mark would run behind him so lewdly to take time. If Mark and Ibrahimovic really started fighting face to face, Mark would not have the confidence to defeat Ibrahimovic. But now, after Mark succeeded in the first move, he knocked Ibrahimovic down a few times. After all, Mark's movements were too fast, and Ibrahimovic would not have any time to react.
"What are you doing?" At this time, head coach Koeman walked in and saw a group of players gathered together and said loudly: "Hurry up and disperse, Mark, what did you do?"
After the players dispersed, the head coach saw Ibrahimovic lying in front of Mark. Now Ibrahimovic has been fooled by Mark, lying on the ground like a dead dog, with bleeding inside his iconic big nose.
"It's a bad thing." Mark knew it was wrong when he saw head coach Koeman coming. He might be punished. However, Mark had no regrets about this matter. Anyway, he had already done it, and it was too late to regret it.
The team doctor just hurried over to help Ibrahimovic up, then woke him up and bandaged him. Ibrahimovic was now awake. He saw Mark's eyes full of fear. Ibrahimovic was not chattering like before. He seemed to be defeated by Mark at once.
"Tell me, what's going on?" head coach Koeman asked Mark.
At this time, Van der Fate stood up and told head coach Koeman in detail what had happened just now, including how Ibrahimovic refused to listen to his captain, and then how Mark stood up to help him teach him a lesson.
"Is this the case with Zlatan?" After hearing this, head coach Koman asked the current victim Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic nodded repeatedly and said yes. Ibrahimovic now doesn't want to be beaten by Mark anymore. His nose is still aching, it must be a fracture. He now feels a sense of awe for Mark. In fact, sometimes it's like that, people who shout and show off every day, you know that if you teach him a lesson, he will be honest in front of you like a dog.
"You ask the team doctor to accompany you to the hospital for an injury. It is best not to have any concussions or something. We will talk about everything after the game is over." Koeman waved his hand and suppressed the matter.
Ibrahimovic nodded, and after bandaging the team doctor, he walked out of the locker room and went to the hospital for examination.
Koeman did not criticize Mark next. He just made some adjustments to the next tactics. Right winger Pinal was replaced by a midfielder Galasek and was replaced on the court. Babel was still a single forward. Koeman wanted to use the three-middle formation to try to limit Feyenoord's attack in the second half. Then Babel's personal skills were excellent in the offense, so he let him dribble the ball in the front, shoot if he could shoot, and control the ball if he couldn't, wait for his teammates to come forward to take over and attack again. Then head coach Koeman arranged in detail the tactics of the next game and the things that need to be paid attention to in the position of the players in the next game.
Anyway, Koeman's tactical intention is to hold on to the next score. If the score can be expanded, it's best. If the score cannot be expanded, it must also ensure that the goal does not concede the goal.
"Ajax will win!!" In the end, head coach Koeman shouted a slogan.
"Sure, win" Ajax's players ran out of the locker room with slogans.
Feyenoord also made tactical adjustments in the second half. Head coach Van Marvik replaced centre-back Van derberg with forward No. 22 Robin Van Persie. Feyenoord now cheered up the lineup of three, four and three.
It was obvious that Van Marvik concluded that Ajax would play in the second half with a relatively conservative lineup, so he boldly replaced a central defender and replaced a forward in advance to strengthen the offense.
"I haven't seen this player last time against Feyenoord. Is there no one available to Feyenoord now?" Mark pointed to No. 22 who had just played and asked Van der Fate beside him.
"You said it was Van Persie. He was very strong, but his personality seemed to have some problems. He often quarreled with Feyenoord's head coach, so Van Marvik directly pressed him on the bench. Maybe now he really saw a chance to equalize, otherwise he wouldn't have any chance to play. Don't look at him not playing, his skills and shooting are very good. He should be the enhanced version of Babel, but most people call him Henry of the Netherlands." Van der Fate also patiently explained to Mark that he did this and wanted Mark to pay more attention to Van Persie.
"I really didn't see it. It seems that this Netherlands is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and no one can underestimate it."
Van Persie, who had just been replaced, came to the court and thought to himself: "Van Marvik, don't you not need me? Look at my many goals on the court, and then you feel regretful. Finally, when you beg me to let me stay, I will transfer, so that all you who didn't like me at the beginning would regret it."
In fact, Feyenoord's head coach Van Marvik does not have many cards in his hand. Although the conflict between him and Van Persie is unresolved, for the sake of the team's victory, Van Marvik temporarily put aside the prejudice between the two and sent Van Persie to the stadium.
However, Van Persie is really a rebellious player. In the 2001-02 season, Van Persie, who was only seventeen years old, began to make his mark in the Eredivisie, winning 15 starts in various competitions, and won the Best Youth Player of the Year award from the Dutch Football Association in 2002. In 2002, Van Persie and Feyenoord signed a three-and-a-half-year professional contract. That year, he defeated Dortmund with his teammates in the League Cup final three-to-two. Van Persie started in the final and tasted the taste of the championship for the first time.
From 2003 to 2003, Van Persie had become an important member of the team at Feyenoord. In February 2003, in a game where Feyenoord defeated Appelton 6-2, Van Persie scored five goals alone, showing amazing talent. At this time, Van Persie also showed his rebellious side. He quarreled with the then Feyenoord coach Van Marvik and was eventually sent to the reserve team by Van Marvik. In addition, scandals were reported in the reserve team, so Van Persie was directly excluded from the roster of the 2002 European Super Cup final by Van Marvik, and he was directly driven home by Van Marvik because he refused to participate in the pre-match warm-up in a UEFA Champions League qualifier. Van Persie scored 16 goals in this chaotic season.
Van Persie has completely broken up with head coach Van Marvik this season, and now the season has entered the final stage. Van Persie has scored a pitiful five goals with only 28 substitute opportunities, so now he has to consider his future career as soon as possible. After all, Van Persie's contract is only more than a year left, and he needs to prove himself with limited opportunities to play and get a transfer opportunity. Anyway, Feyenoord is not going to stay there.
After Van Persie appeared in the left winger, Kuyt was the right winger and Amoa was the middle.
After the game, Feyenoord took a fierce attack on Ajax, as if they had no use of strength at the end of the first half to pour out in one breath.
Van Persie is worthy of being a player known as Henry of the Netherlands. He really played well on the left. Ajax's right-back Trabelsey is obviously not Van Persie's opponent, which made Mark have to make him often.
"Mark stares at No. 22 and don't let him break through," head coach Koeman shouted at Mark with the opportunity of a dead ball.
Mark nodded to head coach Koeman to signal that he knew.
Next, Mark began to guard against Persie. Van Persie was 1.83 meters tall and weighed 71 kilograms. He was a slightly thin striker, while Mark was 1.85 meters tall and weighed 75 kilograms. The two players were almost almost the same physically, so there was no advantage in physical confrontation between the two players.
"You are the newly-rising new Rijkaard." Van Persie now said to Mark while running to find a chance to get the ball.
"That's right, but my goal is to surpass him. You are the tragic man who was suppressed by the head coach on the bench," Mark said teasingly.
"Boy, you are very arrogant, let me teach you a lesson." Van Persie, who was teased by Mark, suddenly became angry. He wanted to teach Mark a lesson, a arrogant boy. Of course, it was not a fight, but a lesson with his own skills.
Soon after Van Persie received a football from his teammates in the back, he formed a one-on-one situation with Mark. Now Ajax's right-back Trabelsey is ready to make up for Mark at any time at the defender. He also needs to insert the wingers of the wingers who defend Feyenoord, so he cannot help Mark defend now.
In fact, Mark doesn't need Trabelsey to help him. Mark is confident that he can defeat Van Persie. Although Van Persie's skills are excellent and fast, Mark doesn't believe that he can be faster than him.
Van Persie now brings football to the wing, and now Mark is pressing against Van Persie. Van Persie has strong dribbling ability. He is never afraid of his opponent's pressing. It is almost common for him to pull away the defender in a small space.
Now he has to use his skills to pass Mark, which is the only thing he wants to do. Van Persie brought his left foot forward and then stabbed his right foot forward and then made a driving style that seemed to be trying to get rid of Mark with speed. How could Mark make him do what he wanted? He ran directly to the front. However, Van Persie just ran a step and pulled the football back and then started again. If he had done such an action before, he would usually succeed, because this would change the coordination of the defensive players, so it was easy to break through the defensive players' defense.
But Mark is obviously different from ordinary defensive players. He was indeed shaken by Van Persie's movements and changed his running rhythm, but Mark quickly adjusted with his physical coordination. Now Van Persie is ahead of Mark one by one, and Van Persie has now begun to look for opportunities to pass the ball.
However, Ajax now has only two forwards, Amoa and Kuyt, in the penalty area, and the other Feyenoord players did not appear in the penalty area, so Van Persie decided to make an attempted pass first, but soon he found that Mark, who had just been drowned by him, had appeared beside him now, and Mark also stretched out his legs to block the football kicked by Van Persie, and the football rolled directly towards the bottom line.
Ajax's right-back Trabelsey chased the football desperately, and he finally controlled the football at his feet the moment the football rolled out of the baseline.
After getting the ball, Trabelsey was not in a hurry to attack, because he saw that Ajax had no chance in the frontcourt. He first passed it to Van der Fate in the midfield and asked him to organize the attack.
"You are very fast," Van Persie said in praise after being blocked by Mark.
"It's okay, you're enough defense." Mark said without any modesty.
"Let's compete next," Van Persie said to Mark without being angry at this time.
"Let's wait for our attack to end first." After Mark finished speaking, he ran towards the frontcourt and prepared to devote himself to the next attack.
Although Mark's words are full of disdain, he really attaches great importance to Van Persie in his heart, because Van Persie's movements just now were so smooth. Although Mark had never competed with Henry on the spot, after all, Mark had also seen Henry's game at Arsenal from the front of the TV. Now Mark feels that Van Persie really has the potential to become Henry.
At least if Van Persie is not suppressed by head coach Van Marvik on the bench, he is likely to become one of the most terrifying left wingers in the Eredivisie.
