Five Chapters
-----
Ibrahimovic had never thought of using his full strength to fight with Qin Xiong.
It was just for fun. As long as he could achieve the goal of exercising his body, it would be fine.
The team's training did not have any new tricks. After years of repetition, one would naturally be mentally tired and lack motivation.
However, after Ibrahimovic took the initiative to attack for the first time, his eyes widened. He was shocked by Qin Xiong!
He threw a punch, and Qin Xiong dodged. Then, a leg kicked towards Ibrahimovic's stomach.
If Ibrahimovic had been mentally prepared, he would have been able to dodge.
However, he was dumbfounded!
Fuck!
You're playing with me!
Use your leg!
Bang!
Although Ibrahimovic instinctively used his other arm to block Qin Xiong's flying kick, he was still caught unprepared. He staggered three steps back and fell onto the stage, almost rolling backwards.
The surrounding people, whether they were in the other stages or below the stage, were all stunned.
They looked at Qin Xiong as if they were looking at a monster.
When they looked at Ibrahimovic, there was some sympathy, some pity, and some rejoicing in his misfortune.
You fought with a layman who didn't even know the rules, and got kicked? Serves you right!
Qin Xiong was shocked.
How could Zlatan be so weak?
He immediately ran over to help Ibrahimovic up, but Ibrahimovic slapped his hand away. Ibrahimovic angrily scolded, "Despicable! How can you use your leg? "
Qin Xiong had a puzzled look on his face. Then, he did a karate knife-kick move. Superficially speaking, he was using his leg to kick his opponent's head.
Ibrahimovic would occasionally show off this move when he was boasting about his karate skills. Needless to say, for a tall man like him to suddenly raise his leg and kick in front of your face, that scene was quite dazzling.
When there was no one around, Qin Xiong would secretly imitate it. Although it was not proper, and the main points of the move were not completely grasped, it was still quite decent.
"Can't you use your leg?"
Qin Xiong asked innocently.
Ibrahimovic sighed. He was speechless towards Qin Xiong.
"That was karate. Today, we're here for boxing. Look at the others. Are they using their feet? Your feet are used to move and move. Your hands are used to attack. Just like that, you were almost sent to the hospital. "
Qin Xiong, wearing his boxing gloves, scratched his head in embarrassment and said to Ivan, "Sorry, I didn't know the rules. I thought it was similar to what you usually said. Okay, I understand now."
Ivan rearranged his stance, and this time, the two of them began boxing seriously.
Dodging left and right in a fast-paced environment, his body constantly moving as he carefully predicted and chose the right time to attack.
The two of them were soon drenched in sweat. Sometimes, when the rhythm was right, the two of them would hit each other loudly.
Two hours later, Winter took off his shirt indoors, and the sweaty duo sat back to back in the ring.
He felt as if his entire body was about to fall apart.
But it was very satisfying.
Qin Xiong had seen the world again.
It was the first time she had enjoyed a massage from a professional.
Actually, the club also had masseurs who would help the players recover from fatigue and relax their muscles after matches.
But compared to Ibrahimovic lying in a high-end massage parlor in Amsterdam, completely relaxed and having his muscles soothed by a professional, that feeling was completely different. Especially after a comfortable bath.
After leaving the massage parlor, the two of them went to eat dinner. It was a very sumptuous seafood feast.
When they returned to the apartment, Qin Xiong fell asleep in less than 30 seconds after lying on the bed.
It was a tiring day.
But when he woke up the next morning, other than his muscles being a little sore, he was exceptionally full of energy.
He didn't think that after the team's training during the winter break, his life would be so colorful.
Yesterday, he had accompanied Ibrahimovic to boxing.
After today's training, he had gone to the indoor swimming pool with Snede and Haitinga, swimming a full two kilometers before returning home.
After another day of training, captain Van Der Vaart organized a team basketball match. Qin Xiong was abused by Ibrahimovic, and he had to leave the court because of the number of fouls he committed.
When he left the court, Ibrahimovic clamored for Qin Xiong to wait and not leave!
Qin Xiong's last foul was a slap to Ibrahimovic's face because he wanted to block Ibrahimovic's shot!
Perhaps outsiders would think that this group of Ajax players was not doing their job properly.
In reality, the geniuses who had stood out from countless competitions were more nervous than anyone else. They would not give up easily, nor would they give up. The sweat and effort that they had to put in would not be less than the other players.
They were seizing the time to recover their condition through various methods.
Snede's weight loss was very successful. At the very least, apart from sleeping and resting every day, he was exercising every day, and he quickly regained his slim figure.
The other players also felt more flexible and vigorous than when they had just returned from the holidays.
They could not wait to further improve their condition through the intense competition.
However, in the 18th round of the Eredivisie competition, Ajax was in a little trouble.
In the 18th round, they were going to be the guests of Heerenveen.
But the day before the game, the media suddenly revealed that Heerenveen had proposed to change the date of the game!
Because there had been heavy snow in Heerenveen for days!
This news was also confirmed by Heerenveen's manager, De Haan.
Ajax had played against Heerenveen in November. Qin Xiong still remembered that the opponent's striker was a tall and thin Greek boy named Samaras, who had been bullied by De Haan until he was in a sorry state.
As the manager who had trained strikers such as Tomasson, van Nistelrooy, and Auerbach, De Haan could be considered a wily old fox.
When he played against Ajax in November, he did not realize that Ajax was transforming. His offensive power was amazing. As a result, the team was slaughtered black and blue and almost collapsed.
In fact, he had been training players for the past 10 years. The most famous ones were, of course, van Nistelrooy and Tomasson.
Now, he was focusing on training Samaras. Oh, there were rumors that he had also taken a fancy to Huntelaar and wanted the club to bring him in and train him personally.
But the most important thing in training players was that the players could be tested and honed, but they could not be defeated!
How could De Haan not be afraid of Ajax's terrible state before the winter break?
So, with the excuse of the heavy snow in Heerenveen, he asked the club to apply to the Dutch Football Association to change the date of the game.
It was an open and aboveboard reason.
The other games, which were also snowing heavily in nearby areas, all applied to change the date, and the Dutch Football Association agreed!
For example, the home games in Breda and The Hague.
What De Haan envisioned was that if the game was postponed this weekend, then looking at the time of the make-up game later, it might be sensitive to Ajax. At least in the schedule for a month, excluding the midweek Dutch Cup games and the suspension of FIFA matches, then the midweek game that could be inserted into the make-up game would either be before or after Ajax faced Arsenal.
Before the game against Arsenal, Ajax would certainly conserve his strength. What about after the game against Arsenal? Haha, the Champions League knockout stage had to be played twice. It was not like one game would determine the winner. After playing the first game, Ajax still could not go all out in the make-up game against Heerenveen.
If the time was pushed back, it was not impossible, but at least it would give Heerenveen a longer buffer period.
After being massacred at the end of November, facing Ajax again in January, needless to say, when Heerenveen saw Ajax's main players on the field, they might be scared in their hearts. The shadow of that massacre had not dissipated yet!
Comain did not show up in the morning training.
When he heard the news, he hurried to the club's top management to express Ajax's position to the Dutch Football Association: NO!
We do not agree to change the date!
The reason why Comain was so anxious and even put the training on hold was that he was worried that the Dutch Football Association would directly announce the postponement of the game without informing Ajax. Then there would be no room for negotiation.
The Dutch Football Association also wanted to save face.
They could not immediately take back what they had just said. Wasn't that a slap to their own face?
It was not that the Dutch Football Association was against Ajax, but that Heerenveen's reason for applying to change the date of the game was justified.
It was snowing heavily, the fans were not happy watching the game, the playing environment in the stadium was not good, and it had a negative impact on the referee's enforcement.
But Ajax really could not postpone the game.
The stakes were just as De Haan had envisioned. Comain did not want the team's future game plan to be affected.
He communicated with Louis Van Gaal, and Louis Van Gaal also agreed with Comain's point of view.
Ajax's players needed the game to improve their condition. Even if the environment was not ideal for a game, it was a hundred times better than not playing at all!
Louis Van Gaal and the club's top management came forward to communicate with the Dutch Football Association, but outsiders did not know what Ajax's attitude was in private.
However, in this round of the game, The Hague and Breda's game was postponed due to the heavy snow.
Heerenveen's home game against Ajax went on as usual!
