Chapter 213 Star Factory: Ajax
The plane went all the way north, and soon entered the Netherlands, the country with the lowest altitude in the world-this low-lying country composed of four constituent countries (Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao, and St. Maarten). A quarter of their land is less than 1 meter above sea level, and a quarter of their land is below the sea.
In the Netherlands, you can see seawalls everywhere - if there were no seawalls to stop the seawater, most of the Netherlands would be submerged by seawater.
Seawalls, windmills, tulips.
This has almost become synonymous with Holland.
The plane landed at Amsterdam Airport and boarded the team bus outside the airport.
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands. The largest city in the Netherlands was once the most important port in the world. In the era of the sea coachman, it even became the center of the world.
The bus passed through large and small bridges all the way, and these bridges were built on the dense network of canals in Amsterdam-the historic Amsterdam canal network has witnessed the most glorious period in the history of the Netherlands.
Players aren't interested in Canal, though.
Jeffrey, who returned to his hometown, was very excited.
"If you have time, I must invite everyone to visit our flower fields! Although it is February, some early-blooming tulip varieties have already begun to bloom. Although the Netherlands is in the north of England, our place is not as cold as England!" Jeffrey sat in his seat, turned his head and said loudly.
"Hey Jeffrey, I don't want to see the tulips. I want to see the real flowers of Amsterdam," Saul Campbell exclaimed.
The players laughed, and Jeffrey's face flushed.
The "Flower of Amsterdam" that Sol Campbell mentioned obviously refers to the famous red light district in Amsterdam
"Hey, Saul, you have a family now." Gao Bo also said with a smile.
The laughter in the bus grew louder.
"I'm just looking." Saul shrank his head.
"Boss, you are single." Vardy feared that the world would not be chaotic.
"Jamie, you think the training is too loose, don't you?"
"I don't think so!" Vardy quickly denied.
There is a happy atmosphere in the car.
Cars meander through the streets of Amsterdam.
Lin Sen looked at the red wall outside the car window and sighed: "Speaking of which, I used to be a fan of Ajax. I didn't expect that this Eredivisie giant has not entered the mainstream media's field of vision for a long time."
"The current Ajax should not be underestimated." Gao Bo shook his head and said.
Although the current Ajax is still far from its peak, no one dares to underestimate this known as the world's number one star processing factory. In Ajax's youth training system, a large number of stars come out of here and flow into major European teams.
From Cruyff, Van Basten to Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Huntelaar, etc., Ajax's products can occupy an important position in the Dutch national team in almost every period.
In fact, before the Bosman Act, Ajax was still a strong team in the Champions League.
Ajax can be seen from history that they have performed very well in European competitions. They are one of the top clubs in the European continent. In 1962, they defeated their fellow club Feyenoord in the first UEFA Tutu Cup to win their first international championship, and then won multiple European championships.
The first glorious period of Ajax was in the 70s, 1971, 1972/1973, for three consecutive years, Ajax won three consecutive Champions League titles, they were the rulers of European football at that time, they were the strongest team at that time.
And Ajax's fourth Champions League trophy came in the 90s. On May 1995, 5, in the final at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Patrick Kluivert broke the ten fingers of AC Milan goalkeeper Rossi 24 minutes before the end.This is the third time that Ajax has defeated AC Milan in the European Champions Cup this season, unprecedented and unprecedented!
But this is also the last glory of Ajax in this European football's highest honor event.
In December 1995, the Bosman Act was introduced.
Before the Portsman Act, it was very difficult for players to complete the transfer. First of all, even if the player’s contract expired, he had to obtain the approval of his home team if he wanted to transfer to another team.
In the summer of 1990, the midfielder Jean-Marc Bosman (Jean-Marc Bosman) who played for RFC Liege, the contract with the original club expired at the end of the season, and the club was going to cut his annual salary by 60%.But at that time, Dunkirk was unable to pay the high transfer fee offered by the Liege club, which led to the failure of the transfer.Under the old transfer system, even if a player’s contract expires, and other clubs want to recruit him, they must pay the player’s original club a transfer fee to make it happen.
After receiving legal advice, Bosman took the Liege team and the Belgian Football Association to court in August of that year; in November, a Belgian district court ruled that Bosman’s transfer was legal and the Belgian Football Association lost the case; half a year later, the Belgian Court of Appeal ruled to reject the appeal; Choice of Residence and Freedom of Employment" Treaty of Rome.Bosman also asked the EU to order UEFA to release restrictions on non-EU players, because such restrictions are fundamentally a form of racial discrimination.
The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in Bosman's favor on December 1995, 12.After the bill was promulgated, the flow of players within the European Union began to accelerate, and players from small clubs hoped to wait until their contracts expired to join giants.
The Bosman Act also prohibits local leagues of EU member states and UEFA from limiting the number of non-local players in competitions, but does not include non-EU players.
After the introduction of this bill that is conducive to protecting the interests of players, European football immediately fell into a crazy era!
Transfer fees began to soar at the speed of light from [-]. Almost every year, there will be transfers that break the transfer fee record and will appear in the transfer window.
In some major leagues, the wages of players have also begun to increase significantly. For some players in small leagues, attracted by wages, many players are eager to play in these major leagues such as the Premier League and Serie A.
The worst hit by the Bosman Act is undoubtedly Ajax.
After the bill was promulgated, Ajax could no longer retain the players trained by its own youth training. The players began to seek transfers to the major leagues after a little bit of fame.
So since 96, Ajax has gradually changed from the center of Europe to the current star processing factory. Their youth training camp is still rich in the best players in the world, but for Ajax, the only meaning is to send players to the big clubs in Europe, nothing more.
In the domestic arena, Ajax has not been smooth in recent years. Eindhoven has risen, and the Eredivisie league has risen together. From the 2003-2004 season when the club won the No. 20 Eredivisie championship to the present, Ajax has not won the domestic league championship for five seasons.
This season, Ajax still seems to be far behind the top of the Eredivisie league. After 24 rounds of the league, Ajax only scored 55 points, which is as much as seven points behind the top Eindhoven!
After leaving the airport, the bus drove for about four and 10 minutes in downtown Amsterdam, and then arrived at a hotel very close to Feyenoord's training base.
Feyenoord and Ajax are rivals in the same city.
Therefore, Luton's request to borrow the Feyenoord training base went very smoothly and got a response from the other party.
In the past few days in the Netherlands, Luton can train and rest at Feyenoord's training base.
There are still more than two days before the game, and Luton's adaptation time is very short.
For Gao Bo, the biggest difficulty in playing the Europa League is not how strong the opponent is, but because their schedule is too tight. There are already a lot of games in the first division. In the case of still needing to strengthen the Europa League, the team has almost no time to rest.
