Chapter 156 New Position - Left Back!

Chen Fan's direct free kick directly pierced the PSV goal, reversing the score, directly igniting the passion of the Ajax fans and giving them a chance to win.

"Hat-trick, Chen scored hat-tricks in two consecutive games, this is a performance against the sky!"

"In such an important game, he is talented. He is definitely the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the history of the confrontation between Ajax and Eindhoven!"

"Ronnie wasn't as amazing as him back then!"

Reporters from other areas on the sidelines murmured that Chen Fan's performance had subverted their impression of young players, even if Basten was in this age group, it was impossible for him to have such a heaven-defying performance.

Even if Ronaldo was invincible in the Eredivisie and averaged nearly one goal per game, he couldn't compare with Chen Fan who scored seventeen goals in nine games and averaged nearly two goals per game!
These words made the reporters in Amsterdam look proud, and the reporters in the Rotterdam area looked ugly.

A middle-aged Rotterdam reporter found an angle to attack the Amsterdam reporter. He said: "I remember that Ronnie was the top scorer in the Eredivisie, but PSV Eindhoven did not win the championship."

In order to score against the opponent, the Rotterdam reporter used the "self-hacking" method. You must know that Ronnie still has a high popularity in Eindhoven.

The meaning of the middle-aged reporter is obvious. Chen can be amazing, but he, like Ronnie, cannot bring the club a championship trophy.

The pride on the faces of the journalists from the Amsterdam area froze, and the embarrassment on the faces of the journalists from the Rotterdam area, and the journalists from other areas looked left and right with great interest...

A young reporter from Amsterdam broke the silence and said to the young reporter from Rotterdam: "Didn't you just firmly believe that Chen could not score free kicks? Now is the time for you to fulfill your promise!"

This remark made the reporter from the Amsterdam area feel elated, and he said loudly: "Yes! Keep the promise!"

The expression on the face of the young Rotterdam reporter changed several times, and finally he bent down and took a bite on the turf...

On the court, Chen Fan smoothed his messy hair with his hands, and there were some grass clippings in his hair, which were left by his teammates touching his hair.

The game restarted, and Eindhoven, who was behind in the score, launched a crazy attack on Ajax amidst the huge cheers of the home fans.

Basten blew his whistle in the command area, signaling the team to strengthen their defense. As long as they can maintain the one-goal advantage until the end of the game, tonight has already succeeded!

It can continue to attack the championship and put pressure on Alkmaar.

Ajax responded calmly and fortified layers of defense in front of the penalty area. Eindhoven frequently attacked from the right, and Ajax left back Olegua was under a lot of pressure.

In the No.306 minute of the second half, PSV Eindhoven tore open from the right, Epson Minder made a cross, and Vernath stepped forward alertly to kick the football out of the baseline.

In the 308th minute of the second half, Eindhoven made a hole on the right again. Simmons broke through Olegua's defense and rushed to the penalty area!
Simmons found a chance to shoot on the edge of the penalty area, shot hard, and the football slid out of the goal!

"boom!"……

There was a huge exclamation in the stadium, and the Ajax fans were covered in cold sweat.

Ajax was surprised by the defense on the left, Chen Fan immediately retreated to help Olegua and share the pressure on him.

In the No.309 minute of the second half, a change occurred on the field. Olegua was injured in the groin during a fight with an opponent, and fell on the turf in pain!
After the examination by the team doctor, Olegua could not persist in the game!

Basten has used up three substitutions, and Ajax's advantage in numbers is gone!

Eindhoven's morale was lifted up and down, and they were going to break through Ajax's goal in the final minutes of the game to equalize the score.

Adal, the commentator of Dutch National TV, shook his head and said: "This season has entered the final stage, and the intensity of the game has increased. In this game, two Ajax players have left the field due to injuries. This is very detrimental to their championship."

"As far as this game is concerned, Ajax originally had a numerical advantage, but now that advantage has disappeared, the outcome of the game is still unpredictable."

"How should Basten deal with the current situation? Should he keep four defenders, or play three defenders instead?"

"Which player on the field will play left-back if we continue to keep four at the back?"

After Basten shook his head helplessly, he immediately made a decision and called Chen Fan to his side: "Chen, you go and take the place of Olegua!"

Chen Fan looked stunned, and Basten continued: "For us, defense is the key now. You once played as a full-back and performed very well. This important task falls on your shoulders!"

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Okay! As long as it can help the team win, you can let me be the goalkeeper!"

Basten nodded in satisfaction, then called Shu Jieda over, and said: "After Chen plays as a full-back, if he participates in the counterattack, you must fill his defensive position!"

Shu Jieda didn't think Basten's arrangement was reasonable, and said: "Coach, I also played as a defender, let Chen take my place, and I will play as a fullback."

Basten shook his head and said, "I've thought about this plan too, but it's been six or seven years since you played as a defender. When it comes to defense, you don't have Chen Qiang."

He patted Shu Jieda on the shoulder and said, "When Chen stepped forward to attack, you must make up for him!"

Seeing that he had made up his mind and no longer insisted on his point of view, Shu Jieda nodded and left.

The game restarted, and Chen Fan was standing at the left back position. Adal, the commentator of Dutch National TV, said in surprise: "Basten made an adjustment, and he let Chen stand at the left back position!"

The guest commentator Seedorf said after half-pay: "This shows that Basten hopes to maintain this score until the end of the game."

The Eindhoven defensive players glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, as if the mountain on their bodies had finally been removed...

The reporter group on the sidelines, the young Rotterdam reporter who had gnawed on the turf, finally found a chance to be proud: "The fatuous Basten used up the substitutions early, ruining a good situation."

"After Chen played on the left side? He really is versatile. He played as a defender and a midfielder on the right, and now he plays a striker and a defender on the left. What a young man..."

"The Ajax youth training camp is really good, and it has cultivated another all-around player!"

A middle-aged Amsterdam-area reporter retorted: "Although Chen has never played left back, he played left back when he debuted."

"Is it difficult to switch to left-back?"

……

"New location, reward [-] points!"

The voice of the system sounded in Chen Fan's mind.

Chen Fan didn't have any excitement in his heart. He didn't have time to be happy about how many bonus points he had gained. The new position was a new challenge.

He hopes he can contain PSV's previous ferocious attack on the right.
