Chapter 317: Finally enlightened
The match is proceeding vigorously. In the luxurious box on the south side of the stands, Alkmaar Club Chairman Scherlinga and team manager Moncler are watching the players on the field sprint.
"This new stadium is really nice," Scherlinga said. They just moved to the DSB Stadium this summer. The old home stadium, the De Hout Stadium, had less than 10,000 seats, while the new stadium can accommodate 17,000 people.
"We underestimated our football market a bit," Moncler added. "The average attendance was not very high at the old stadium, so we thought the new stadium could easily accommodate it, but the demand for tickets far exceeded expectations."
"This is because the club has performed very well in recent years. In the 04-05 season, we reached the semi-finals of the league cup, and last season we finished second in the league, almost winning the championship. Naturally, the fans are more supportive."

"Let's start the approved stadium renovation plan as soon as possible. By 2010, this stadium will be able to accommodate 21,000 people!"
Moncler nodded, then frowned suddenly. "But our league performance this season has deteriorated severely. The impact caused by that Chinese player cannot be ignored, and we need to make a decision immediately!"
Scherlinga rubbed his eyes. "Who would have thought that the target we desperately pursued at the time would turn out to be a flop? But running a club is like this, there will always be some unsuccessful signings."
"Dong Fangzhuo is not that easy to get rid of because he has a difficult agent, Balmond." Scherlinga said. "It was his superb negotiation skills that allowed us to sign such a disadvantageous contract in the first place. And if we break it, we'll have to pay a hefty price."
"We can use some other unconventional means," Moncler hinted, "There are many ways to suppress a player and make him choose to leave."
"That's the most difficult part! You should perhaps understand the current external situation more. Wang Feng, from the same country as Dong Fangzhuo, has won his third European Golden Ball Award."
Out of striker's intuition, Avilaze saw that Dong Fangzhuo's position was good, so he subconsciously passed the ball to him. But he immediately regretted it. In previous games, the Chinese youngster always wasted excellent opportunities, either awkwardly passing back or losing the ball under pressure, without making the right choice.
But Avilaze still continued to run diagonally into the penalty area. This was also what a forward should do. After receiving the ball sideways, Dong Fangzhuo, with defender Sneijder and defender Maduro immediately rushing towards him.
But this time, he didn't make a mistake like before, but rather cleverly used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball into the penalty area, where Avilaze was advancing.
Sneijder was stunned for a moment, didn't expect the ball to come to him, coupled with Dong Fangzhuo's control not so good, the pass was a bit too strong, which caused him to fail to get the ball in the first time, but under the accelerated pursuit, he still controlled the ball before it rolled out of bounds.
There was no one marking near him at this time, and Ajax's defensive attention was all focused on the middle. No one went to mark Avilaze who was inserting into the penalty area, and Hetinga in the penalty area immediately moved towards Avilaze's position.
But the distance was still a bit far, and Hetinga adjusted a bit and decisively crossed to the far post, a figure flashed past, using the inside of his right foot to push the ball into the near corner of the goal, and the ball went into the net with a sound.
"The ball's in!! Dong Fangzhuo scored!! Beautiful!! He finally broke the goal drought!!"
"Alkmaar formed a wonderful cooperation in Ajax's frontcourt, and the protagonist of this cooperation goal is our young talent, Dong Fangzhuo!"
"Oh my god, I can hardly believe my eyes. Apart from Wang Feng, we really have a player who can complete such a beautiful attacking organization. Dong Fangzhuo didn't disappoint us!"
"Let's take another look at the replay of this goal. After receiving Avilaze's pass, he didn't hesitate at all to flick it into the penalty area, forming a combination with the advancing Georgian."
"At the moment when the ball was passed out, Dong Fangzhuo didn't just stand still like a fool, but immediately turned and ran towards the back post of the penalty area. This is the consciousness of a top striker! Avilaze was bound to choose a small-angle shot or a cross, waiting in the penalty area for an opportunity was the best choice."
"As expected, the ball came, and his near post shot was very calm, creating this goal. This is Dong Fangzhuo's fourth goal since joining the Eredivisie, but it's the most wonderful one!"
