Chapter 73 The Attacking Dutch National Youth Team
"It was a wrong call."

"Cristiano Ronaldo of Union Berlin has no way to continue the game. Mourinho must make adjustments to the lineup. This substitution is definitely not in his plan. What will he do?"

Even professional commentators occasionally reveal their tendencies when commenting.

It's hard not to dislike the gorgeous style of play of this group of young people from Union Berlin, and they finally showed their worries at the critical moment.

Mourinho was flustered when he saw Ronaldinho injured, but he didn't show it.The more this kind of moment, the more he should keep calm, otherwise it will bring psychological pressure to the players.

He looked at the bench and called Robben and Huntelaar. Villa and Van Persie on the bench were depressed for a while. Since Huntelaar played, they had no chance. The only one left was a substitution. The quota will definitely not be used for forwards.

Both of them thought they would get a chance to play, but they didn't expect that Huntelaar would come out as a dark horse and be substituted.

When Edward saw Mourinho's substitution, he immediately knew what the other party was thinking.

Van Persie and Villa are both very strong. Even if they are younger, they are no worse than Huntelaar in terms of scoring efficiency, and they are much better than Huntelaar in terms of talent.

But both of them have a weakness. Now their header ability is very weak. Huntelaar is the best striker except for Philippe Judith. Replacing him can enrich the offensive methods of Union Berlin, without limiting them. in ground coordination.

However, Robben was placed on the left, which Edward did not expect.

Mourinho silently looked at the players on the field.

The reason why he chose this way is because Alves is too aggressive. Even if his running ability is excellent, it is impossible for him to run back to his position every time the opponent counterattacks. There is no such problem at all for Dirk on the right. The hard-working Dutchman will run to the backcourt to wipe Alves' ass. If Robben is allowed to return to the right to form the original right-wing combination, although the offensive ability is strong, the defense is much worse. The threat is definitely much smaller than that of Ronaldinho. Let Robben play on the left, and Evra, who has a more balanced offense and defense, can support Robben in the back, and the offense on the left will not be too weak.

In concentrating on an offensive full-scoring right wing, or keeping both wings at [-] points offensive and defensive, Mourinho chose a more secure way. This is the final, and there is no need for players to explode suddenly. Just be steady and steady.

The game resumed, and Robben, who had just played, was active, which put a lot of pressure on Leverkusen's right.

Although after returning to the left, Robben's threat after cutting inside was much smaller, but his passing ability is still there. He quickly made a pass from the bottom to find Huntelaar. An air defense siren was set off in Sen's restricted area.

Leverkusen fans dare not show their atmosphere. They are now worried that Union Berlin will not win the game.

What the hell is this second-tier team?

Is this the team that the media sees badly?

Now they want to smash the "Bild" to pieces. They know how to belittle Union Berlin every day. Now they see that Union Berlin is too strong.Boris Zivkovic is the main force of the Croatian national team. In front of the Dutch kid who just played, he can only follow the opponent's ass to eat ashes.

Top Müller also began to think about what the team should do. Unexpectedly, after a winger went off the field, the one who came up was no worse than the one just now, and his passing skills were much better than others.

Robben's dribbling moves are more concise and direct than Ronaldinho's. He can run behind his opponent in just one face-to-face, basically relying on speed to eat raw. This method is a huge test for Zivkovic who is not young. .

Leverkusen managed to find a chance. Ze Roberto took advantage of compatriot Alves not returning to his position and quickly dribbled the ball in. Berbatov's header was blocked by Petr Cech.

Cech quickly drove forward, which was also explained by Mourinho, using a faster offensive and defensive speed to drag down these old guys in Leverkusen.

This tactic has also worked. Young people have better physical strength. Although Leverkusen often defends, they consume a lot of physical energy. Even Berbatov often presses in the frontcourt. After the header just now, He put his hands on his knees and didn't go out of the penalty area immediately.

He is too tired. Today's opponent's athletic ability is stronger than the teams he has encountered before.

The Bundesliga is not only technically backward, but also the offensive and defensive transition speed is not fast. Berbatov is one of the best technical ability among the Bundesliga forwards, but today's opponent, every player has good skills, and the point is that he is too good at running!
Whenever they had a chance to counter-attack, it took seconds to get the ball into Leverkusen's half.

Berbatov only retreated occasionally, and he was already feeling tired, which shows how much pressure Union Berlin put on Leverkusen.

But something that made him even more frightened happened. De Jong dribbled the ball and cooperated with his teammates all the way to the frontcourt and then passed it to Robben. This time Robben did not choose to pass from the bottom, but cut into the penalty area. After Sen captain Carsten Lamelo was passed by Robben, Lamelo's partner Lucio fell into a dilemma.

He has to let go of Huntelaar when he goes forward to press. If he doesn't press, he will let the opponent shoot.

Lucio was still very decisive, he rushed directly to Robben, and Robben passed the ball, Lucio sneered in his heart, stretched out his foot to block the passing path, but the expression on his face immediately changed from smug to frightened , the opponent did not pass to the striker, but passed back to the inserted player in an inverted triangle.

When Lucio regained his focus and rushed towards De Jong, De Jong kicked behind Lucio. Lucio immediately raised his right hand to signal offside, but the referee didn't say anything.

Dirk Driven made a cross to the center, Huntelaar unexpectedly slipped to the left, and Robben pushed a shot into the net near the post.

"Offside, offside!"

The Leverkusen defense ran to the referee to argue, and their emotions were very excited.

"It was a good goal. De Jong passed the ball and Dider was not in an offside position. Leverkusen's left-back Diego Placente was dragged in the end. He was responsible for this goal."

Sitting in the commentary seat, it is still very clear.

After the goal, Robben jumped on Huntelaar, thanking his teammates for the assist.

Edward, who was in the box, felt extremely surprised. The iron stick man hugged Huntelaar. The world is too crazy. It seems that there will be no more stories about the Three Stick Man in this life.

This made Edward a little melancholy, but he recovered quickly.

Compared with the infighting Dutch team, the Dutch team in this life is more worth looking forward to. After the Union Berlin players enter the national team, Tulip will emit a fiery light.

What made him even more unexpected was that Robben ran to the sidelines and applauded Ronaldinho. The relationship between these two children is really good.
Leverkusen coach Top Muller made a substitution, and also made two substitutions at one time, and replaced two forwards.

Mourinho also kept his reservations. He replaced Sebastian Kyle with Sneijder, and De Jong returned to the midfielder position.

The game is getting more and more intense, Leverkusen has been seeking to equalize the score, in order to cope with the opponent's offensive wave, Union Berlin began to recover during this period, the desperate Leverkusen's offense is too sharp!
In particular, the two forwards who were replaced were both traditional German centers. Their tall stature put enormous pressure on the Berlin United defense, and Vidic became one of the busiest people.

Leverkusen is not much better. The tense and fast-paced offense is devouring their little stamina. They just want to tie the score in one breath. If there is no way to score during this period, it is estimated that today's game will be It's over.

The law of sports is like that. Physical fitness needs a transition period. Football games cannot always maintain a fast pace. They have to rest after attacking for a period of time.

Top Muller stared nervously at the situation on the court, expecting someone to stand up and score the most important goal.This game is not optional, if he loses this game, his treble will be smashed.

Top Muller very much hopes to win the Triple Crown to make his career more perfect.So he is more nervous than Mourinho, Edward, and all the players on the field. His heart has begun to beat violently, and his face turns red and black.

Just now he also told the players to stabilize and wait for the Union Berlin players to fall into anxiety.

But I didn't expect that the word became a proverb, but it was indeed his team that fell into anxiety.

Now it is too late to make up for the equalizer, and the Leverkusen players have begun to become anxious. They have problems judging the situation on the field, and they always make wrong choices when handling the ball. As long as they get the ball, they are basically Bigfoot is looking for a striker. Such a low-quality offense can only depend on the sky. When Union Berlin makes a defensive mistake, they may have a chance.

He kept shouting on the sidelines to appease the emotions of the players, but at this time of the game, he couldn't calm the players down. When the adrenaline was bursting, it was difficult for the players to keep calm. There is no way to fully control it.

The Leverkusen players are still tirelessly kicking their feet. They are like a traditional British team, but they didn't realize it. The coach Top Muller shouted from the sidelines, which also changed the situation on the field. Cousin's offense seemed ferocious, but there was no real threat.

Mourinho looked very calm on the sidelines. After coming to Germany, he studied the most related materials on psychology. The Leverkusen players have completely forgotten their tactics and played with instinct. This is what he hopes to see most. In this situation, as long as the opponent continues to play like this, Union Berlin should still find a chance to score.

The game deepened, and Leverkusen's offense finally weakened.

The players on the field can clearly feel that although they are still seeking to equalize the score, the threat is less than before.

Mourinho ordered the players to find an opportunity to score a goal as soon as possible to seal the victory. After all, football is full of accidents. Even at this time, you can't be careless, but if you can score again, there will be no suspense in today's final.

Ze Roberto took a long shot and flew, and Top Muller made another personnel adjustment. He chose to replace Ballack, who performed well today, and replaced him with an attacking midfielder.

Ballack's physical energy consumption is huge, and it is difficult to make contributions if he stays on the court. At this time, he still needs to strengthen his offense, which is also a helpless choice.

Leverkusen's starting lineup is very luxurious, but the strength of the substitute is much worse.

Edward saw the players who had just entered the field, but he couldn't recognize them.

This is why Leverkusen was so strong this season in the previous life and could only win three runners-up.

Leverkusen's offense hasn't changed much, it's a little more organized than before, but it still focuses on crosses.Lucio frequently inserts and often runs from his own penalty area to Berlin Union's penalty area to participate in the attack. If his teammates did not desperately help him fill his position, Berlin Union may have rewritten the score again.

In the 81st minute of the second half, Lucio stepped in again. After crossing the center line, he received a pass from his teammate and showed good dribbling ability. He dribbled the ball and ran to the front of the penalty area. Panicked, almost rewriting the score, but fortunately Cech reacted quickly, even if the ball was refracted, he was still saved from the bottom line.

This shot made Edward break into a cold sweat. Lucio's offensive ability is even stronger than his defensive ability. Both Brazilian central defenders and full-backs have strong offensive abilities. He is considering whether to use Lucio. When it comes to Union Berlin, the central defender and the full-back on the right rush forward to attack together. The picture must be very joyful.

But this situation is a bit too much to test other players in the defense, and Cech probably will be driven crazy.

Although Lucio is good, he is not suitable for Union Berlin. The two full-backs of Union Berlin are already strong enough to attack. If the central defender goes forward frequently, it will give the opponent too many opportunities.

Five minutes later, Leverkusen made a comeback again. This time, Schneider retreated and cooperated with his teammates to create an opportunity. But at the moment Schneider passed the ball, De Jong flew to block his long shot.This was not a light blow. De Jong couldn't stand up for a long time, and Edward felt nervous for a while. Now there are no substitutions. If De Jong is injured, he can only persevere with the injury.

The Union Berlin players immediately ran over to check De Jong's injury. If he is really injured, this game will add a lot of variables.

Fortunately, De Jong was so desperate that before the team doctor entered the field, he grinned and got up from the turf by himself.

Played around a bit, seems to be ok.

Edward finally breathed a sigh of relief. The few Dutch players who played today performed so well. Although they are all just players of the Dutch national youth team, it is only a matter of time before they want to enter the national team. Edward can even guarantee that the current Dutch national team The youth team is stronger than the Dutch national team!
