April 4st, April Fool's Day.

On this day, the 29th round of the Eredivisie officially kicked off.

Ajax travel to Groningen, who are ranked 11th in the league.

The opponent's strength is weak, and the state is also poor recently. In addition, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals will be played in 3 days. This is still an away game, under the influence of various factors.Ten Hag not only carried out a large-scale rotation, but also transferred many young players from the second team and the youth team to the first team.

The main 11 players stayed in Amsterdam directly and did not go to the away game at all.

The Dutch local media commented on this as "arrogant Ten Hag".

They believe that Ten Hag has placed too much emphasis on the Champions League and not on the league, which is not the first time this season.

But Ten Hag doesn't care what the media says.

This is a rare opportunity to play against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Although it may be very slim to win, facing Bayern Munich, a top three team in the world, Ten Hag naturally wants to fight hard. Even though he himself knows that the chance of winning is very low, how will he know if he doesn't fight? Well, football is round, and no one knows what will happen before kicking it.

In this round of the league, Ajax won 1-0 with difficulty, and the league opponent PSV Eindhoven won 3-0. Ajax still lags behind PSV Eindhoven by 1 point. .

However, Ajax has set its sights on the Champions League quarter-finals.

The first leg will be played at Ajax's home ground.

4 month 4 day.

The weather in Amsterdam in April is pleasant, with the wind passing by, it is very pleasant to blow on people.

At this time, tens of thousands of fans had gathered around the Amsterdam Arena.

Ajax fans are looking forward to such a Champions League quarter-final.

before the game.

Media reporters from CCTV Sports also arrived at the scene to interview the fans at the scene.

"Hello, we are a Chinese TV station, are you fans of Ajax?"

"China? China! Lin—oh, you are Lin's country! Yes, I am an Ajax fan, not only me, but our whole family are Ajax fans!"

Obviously, the Ajax fan was also very excited when he saw that the reporter was from China.

"What are your expectations for tonight's game?"

"Expectation? This is our home court. Of course we hope to win, but I also know the gap between us and Bayern Munich, so a draw is our goal."

"Then if you had to choose, who are the key players of the two teams, and how would you choose?"

"For Bayern Munich, it should be Lewandowski. And for us, it must be Lin. He is our top scorer and the best player in the team. He must be him!"

"Some time ago, Lin Kedi just won three awards from the Ajax club. It seems that Ajax fans like him very much."

"Of course, he is a player of our youth training. He entered the first team at the age of 16, and he can also perform very well against giants. He is currently the top scorer in the league and has also scored in the Champions League. A lot of balls. The most important thing is that he is still young, and I can imagine that he will become a world-class star in the future!"

Afterwards, CCTV Sports interviewed several Ajax fans. Obviously, most of the Ajax fans have the same opinion. They all hope that it is best to keep a draw. It is best if they can win, but a draw , is also a very good result.

In addition, Lin Kedi's popularity here, although the members of the interview team have already prepared, after all, he is the best player voted by the fans, but still did not expect that the fans here would like him so much, Love him, even many young fans are already fanatical about Lin Kedi.

"I thought only Ronaldo and Messi fans would do that."

"Are you kidding? Lin Kedi is the golden boot of the Eredivisie League and the team's top scorer. He will only be 17 next month. It is normal for fans to like him at such a young age."

"I thought only our domestic fans would be so fanatical about him!"

"It's too normal. You still don't come to the Netherlands less. During the time I was stationed in the Netherlands, every home game, the loudest name called by tens of thousands of fans in the audience is lin. The applause and cheers that Lin Kedi received will always be is the most.”

At this time, Ajax's home team locker room.

The atmosphere is dignified.

Ten Hag is doing his last speech before playing.

"This is the Amsterdam Arena. This is our home ground. I know there is a quality gap between us and Bayern Munich. But that's what the media say, what the experts say, what the fans say, and I would say that they Have you asked us?"

"Can we know the outcome without playing? We can win Manchester United, we can win Real Madrid, we can win Sevilla, so why can't we win Bayern Munich?"

Ten Hag looked around.

"Is it because Bayern Munich is strong? Well, let me tell you something. Bayern Munich has played 22 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses this season. It looks like a scary number. However, Bayern Munich still lost 3 games."

"Hoffenheim won Bayern Munich 2-0. Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1 Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich lost 1-2 to RB Leipzig just two weeks ago! They are not invincible! Among them, Hoffenheim is currently ranked third in the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig is ranked sixth in the Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach is ranked ninth. Some of them are not very good, but they can win, why can't we?"

"We are at home today, and there are tens of thousands of fans outside. They may be alone today, they may be together as a couple, or a father with his son, or a family. They came here today to support us! I'm sure you all know that whether we win or lose, they'll be there on the pitch to applaud us, cheer us on, cheer us on! They love us and this jersey we're wearing!"

"So—everyone, take their hopes, their cheers, and their blessings, and let's step onto the court. Today, we only aim for one goal, and that is victory! Bring victory back!"

After Ten Hag shouted the last word, he immediately called all the players to form a circle.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

The team members shouted - "Victory!"

Subsequently, Ten Hag took the lead out of the locker room.

In fact, he himself knows that there are many illogical things in the motivational words he said before the game, but that is not important. The most important thing before the game is always the mobilization of emotions.

Moreover, Ten Hag's goal in this game is not victory, he just hopes for a draw.

And preferably a draw without conceding a goal.

As for why they shouted victory before the game, this question is too simple.

If they had called a draw from the beginning, they would have lost with a high probability.

But if you shout victory, you might be able to draw!
