Chapter 80 Real Professional Football

"Him? What else can you think?"

Ibrahimovic chuckled, "Just a few days ago, he told the head coach and the management very clearly that he wants to leave the team and will not renew his contract with the club. I hope the club can release him."

Both Yang Yang and Vermaelen were a little surprised. They didn't expect Trabelsi to go so resolutely this time.

Thinking deeply, Yang Yang can be sure that Trabelsi must have contacted several giant teams, and the other party must have given him some kind of promise, otherwise, he would not have confronted Ajax like this.

Yang Yang still remembers that AC Milan was one of the teams that poached Ajax back then.

And now, Manchester United, which failed to introduce Trabelsi in the summer, and AC Milan, who are in the same group in the Champions League group stage, are obviously the most urgent ones to poach Trabelsi.

"What about the club's attitude?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

"Things have completely exceeded Ronald Koeman's ability. Of course, he does not want his players to leave the team, but Trabelsi's attitude is very firm, and he has nothing to do. However, the meaning of the technical director Van Gaal and the management is still unclear. I just vaguely heard that Van Gaal is inclined to sell."

"Sell?" Yang Yang was a little surprised, but felt reasonable.

Given the current market environment in European football, players are determined to leave, and the contract is about to expire again. If the club insists on staying, there will be no good results, and it may even be a lose-lose situation.

For Ajax, the best way to deal with it is to renew Trabelsi first, and then release him in the summer, so that enough time can be left to prepare for the replacement, and it can also be sold at a more reasonable price.

But Trabelsi is obviously more inclined to leave in winter, so that the transfer fee paid by the buyer will be lower, but Trabelsi can get more bargaining chips in transfer negotiations and strive for higher salary for himself.

As for AC Milan, they are rich and powerful, and Trabelsi can't play in the Champions League at all, so they don't care whether it is winter or next summer, but if they can take this opportunity to disrupt the morale of Ajax, it will be of great benefit to the Rossoneri to return to the top of the group.

"It may not be possible to sell it, because a group of people headed by Cruyff lashed out at Van Gaal, thinking that his ideas are too radical. Whether it is the reform of the club's internal management system or the change of the club's business philosophy, it is unacceptable. It will only bring destructive results to Ajax."

"But no matter what, Trabelsi has been blocked. In name, he was injured because of a knee injury, but in fact everyone knows that with so many injuries in the club, he is fine, but he can't play a game."

Yang Yang's heart was full of regrets, as the saying goes, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite.

When he was in Almere before, he felt how superior Ajax was. He was a top giant in the Netherlands.

Whether AC Milan has the sincerity to buy Trabelsi, no one can tell, but relying on a transfer that seems to be there, it completely disturbed Ajax's up and down.

There is nothing wrong with Trabelsi making such a decision. He is 26 years old and is in the golden age of his career. If he can't transfer now, in two or three years, who else will want him?
So is Ajax wrong?

Yang Yang didn't think that, from the standpoint of the club, letting Trabelsi go like this was intolerable anyway. This was tantamount to repeating the failure in the 90s. More importantly, what would other players think?
Does Ibrahimovic want to leave?Van der Vaart doesn't want to go?
If the club's performance is weak at this critical juncture, how will the team manage?

Of course, from the standpoint of giants such as AC Milan and Manchester United, they are not wrong, and they are all out of self-interest considerations. It doesn't even matter to them whether they can buy Trabelsi.

No Trabel West, no Trabel East, no Trabel South.

Yang Yang suddenly realized that the scene in front of his eyes was real professional football?

"At present, many players in the first team have physical injuries. Songk has a back injury, O'Brien has a knee injury, Pienaar has an ankle, and van der Vaart. These people all have injuries that can affect their games. After Trabelsi is blocked, the right will be a big problem."

Speaking of this, Maxwell looked at Vermaelen, "If Koeman lets Heitinga play on the right, then there will be a central defender in the middle, and this is your chance."

When Vermaelen heard this, he really felt that the first team was beckoning to him.

Regardless of Ajax's current internal and external troubles, to some extent, this is an opportunity for young players.

Sneijder was established as the main force at a young age, van der Vaart was the captain of the team at a young age, and Heitinga and De Jong, they all started to play the main force, isn't it because of various problems in the team?
"There are also many problems in the frontcourt attack. Koeman likes to use Songk to partner with me recently, but he has not been able to find a suitable winger on the right. Both Dreedle and Scola have not shown convincing performances in this position."

Ibrahimovic pointed to Yang Yang and said with a smile: "I am very much looking forward to the meeting between the two of us in the first-team match. You and Maxwell will pass the ball from the wings, Vermaelen will be in the backcourt, and I will be at the front. The four of us are united to see who can stop us."

The Swedish center said this proudly, even a little arrogantly, but it was very pleasant.

Whether it was Yang Yang, Vermaelen, or Maxwell, they were all very excited.

They all have no doubt about Zlatan Ibrahimovic's determination. In order to be able to produce more eye-catching statistics and to get himself out of the Eredivisie League as soon as possible, the Swedish center has worked really hard in the past few months, whether it is training or competition.

Van der Vaart, Sonk, Sneijder, Pinar, Escuder, Galasek, De Jong, Maxwell, Trabelsi...the main players of Ajax's first team are all of extraordinary strength.

For Yang Yang, entering the first team has become no longer out of reach.

…………

…………

Entering November, the entire Dutch football world is still full of optimism about Ajax.

In the tenth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax played against Alkmaar at home.

Although it was at home, Ajax conceded a goal in just 5 minutes, and then Zlatan Ibrahimovic pulled it back in the No. 201 minute, but conceded another goal 2 minutes later.

The game was very difficult. It was not until the No.707 minute of the second half that the main defensive midfielder De Jong equalized the score for Ajax, and Alkmaar finally failed to persist until the end. A foul in the penalty area by Dekla in stoppage time won a penalty for Ajax. Dekla also accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off.

Galasek made the penalty himself, and the home team narrowly saved the three-pointer.

Since Ajax is still the leader of the league, the team's recent performance is also quite good, and in addition to the UEFA Champions League in the middle of the week, everyone is satisfied with Ajax's ability to win.

In the midweek away game against Vigo Celta, coach Ronald Koeman was full of confidence. At the press conference before the game, he even joked with the reporters that when he played in Barcelona, ​​he encountered Vigo Celta twelve times and did not lose one.

Not only verbally, Koeman also made adjustments to the starting lineup. Romanian frontcourt player Mitya and Ghanaian player Yakubu appeared in the starting lineup at the same time. Among them, Yakubu can play from the winger to the fullback on the right.

The war of words between the technical director and the legendary godfather also started again.

Van Gaal said in an interview with the media before the game that he was full of confidence in Ajax's strength.

"We have everything we need to win, why can't we win?"

Cruyff, who has been living in Spain, quickly criticized Van Gaal's remarks in the media, thinking it was blind and arrogant, "I don't see Van Gaal leaving Ajax with anything except impetuousness."

But the result of the game surprised everyone.

Ajax, who has won two consecutive group matches and is in sight of qualifying as long as they win another game, played very badly at the Balledos Stadium.

For the first time in the UEFA Champions League, he kicked the right back and Yakubu gave the opponent a penalty in the No. 205 minute. Vigo Celta's French midfielder Peter Lucin personally took the penalty.

Van der Vaart, who wore the captain's armband, was very dissatisfied with this, retaliated against the opponent's player, received a yellow card, and will miss the next key battle against AC Milan.

The game fell behind, the captain lost control of his emotions, and the scene was played very chaotically, Ajax quickly conceded the ball again.

Sylvinho managed to break through Yakub's defense and set up Milosevic for a goal to make it [-]-[-].

Although, after the opening of the second half, Songke quickly pulled back a goal for the team, but in No. 603 minutes, Yakubu's mistake completely pulled Ajax back to hell.

In the end, Ajax lost 80-[-] to the key battle. Van der Vaart scored a goal in No.[-] in [-] minutes, but the Ajax captain will miss the key battle against AC Milan, which will have a huge impact on the young Ajax.

After the game, the Dutch media once again attacked Ajax, especially Koeman's formation in this game. For example, Mitya, who started the game, did not perform at all, but Yakubu managed to allow his opponent to score three goals.

Some media even used comics to satirize Koman and Yakubu, thinking that the Ghana defender should be the best player in the game, because he directed Vigo Celta's three goals, and they were all very beautiful.

"27 fouls, three times that of Vigo Celta, which was completely unimaginable before, but it fully exposed the impetuousness of this young Ajax team and their out-of-control emotions. Van der Vaart is the best example."

"There are still two games in the Champions League group stage. If Koeman wants to make his team go further, then he must first let the team calm down and at the same time be able to defend the goal."
