The midfield king of football life

Chapter 68 Chapter 69

After Bilal and Li Feng watched the UEFA Champions League group match between Barcelona and AC Milan from the Nou Camp, Li Feng started to hurry up and prepare for the next league game when he came back.

Feyenoord's next match will be against Graf Sharp at home.Last season, Graf Sharp ranked 15th in the league and narrowly escaped the risk of relegation with wins in the final rounds.This season they are still a relatively weak team among the Eredivisie clubs.So this game is almost no suspense in the eyes of the sports media in the Rotterdam area.

And after the last round of lineup rotation, most of the main players in this game have been rested.Therefore, in the pre-match training against Graf Sharp, Coach Koeman did not arrange high-intensity confrontation training, mainly based on basic training and tactical training.

Since Coach Koeman coached, the club's management is quite satisfied with Coach Koeman's current performance, and the players in the team are also quite satisfied with Coach Koeman.However, when the lineup was rotated, there were some discordant voices in the team.

On the front line, veteran Cabral has no objection, after all, his physical fitness and performance are not as good as before.The only objection is another Secusise. Since the club introduced young teenagers Goodetti and Fernandez, Secusise's playing time has been greatly reduced, which is also one of the factors that he is not satisfied with.

Just when Coach Koeman was explaining the tactical arrangement against Graf Sharp in the tactical training room, he announced the lineup for the next game against Graf Sharp.And this time there is still no Sekusis in the big list.

This time Sekusis broke out completely. During the tactical training, he stood up angrily and walked out without looking back. When Koeman's coach wanted to stop him, Sekusis ignored him.

An angry expression appeared on Coach Koeman's face, and he said seriously to the other players: "I hope there will be no such guy in the team in the future. Who should play and who should not play is my decision. Please don't question my choice of personnel and my coaching level, let alone challenge my authority."

The team members sitting below suddenly felt a chill.

After a while, Coach Koeman began to explain the tactical arrangement, and he said slowly: "The game on the 18th is our home game. I hope you don't play as hard and passive as the last game. Graf Sharp's offensive ability is not very strong, and the defense is full of loopholes. Their main tactical formation against strong teams recently is 352. The dense crowd in the middle is used to press high pressure to prevent the opponent from attacking, and then find opportunities to counterattack quickly. So when we attack, the defense line should not be too high. Attacking from the wing, or playing long balls from the back behind them."

"Graf Sharp has not always been a strong team. We played our rhythm and momentum, and there is no big problem in winning this game." Coach Koeman said easily.

On September 9, Feyenoord's home game against Graf Sharp arrived.

Feyenoord's lineup today is: the striker is partnered by Shaken and Goodetti, the front midfielder is Klassey, the two midfielders are still Mayoweis and Bicevas, and the midfielder is Li Feng.The two central defenders in the back line are Lier Dam and the young Indi partner, Switz and Nerome are separated on both sides, and Dali is the goalkeeper.

Feyenoord's home game is still full of seats. After winning the last game, Feyenoord's ranking rose to 4th in the league. Feyenoord's performance has been very good since the beginning, biting the top three opponents.

Feyenoord's game against Grafsharp starts soon.

Graf Sharp's lineup was indeed 352, and Coach Koeman was right in his prediction.

Feyenoord kicked off first, and Shaken passed the request back to Klassey.

After receiving the ball, Klassey was not in a hurry to drive the ball to the opponent's half, because Graf Sharp's players in the middle were too dense.

Bicevas on the wing received a pass from Klassey, but just after he received the ball, he was destroyed by Graf Sharp's players and went out of the baseline.

After more than 10 minutes like this, Feyenoord failed to form a coherent pass. On the one hand, Graf Sharp's pressing was too fierce, and on the other hand, Feyenoord players on the field seemed to have not yet come online.

When Bicevas catches and stops the ball, he feels a beat slower than usual, and Mayovice, Li Feng, and Klassie all have this feeling.

In the first 15 minutes, Feyenoord conceded the ball 6 times, which made Coach Koeman's face on the sidelines turn from sunny to cloudy.

It is said that misfortunes never come singly, and the house leak happened to rain overnight. When Feyenoord was completely unable to attack, it started to rain in the stadium.It was extremely difficult when he played against Heerenveen in the rain last time.

In the 18th minute, Li Feng made a long pass from the backcourt to find Goodetti in the frontcourt. When Goodetti jumped up and was about to take the ball off with his chest, Graf Sharp's defender Pavelt rushed forward and pushed the ball out.

In the 22nd minute, Bicevas was destroyed by Graf Sharp's midfielder Breiberg when he advanced along the sidewalk.

Feyenoord did not play a smooth offensive rhythm throughout the first half.

Li Feng looked at the situation on the field, and thought with some anxiety in his heart: "Their defensive line in the middle is too dense. There are as many as five midfield defensive players. With the current state of the players on the field, it is almost impossible to break through their central defense line through passing and cutting. It seems that they can only play long passes behind them."

Graf Sharp's defense in the middle of the first half was very good, restricting Feyenoord's offense tightly, and once he couldn't prevent it, he directly fouled and destroyed the rhythm of Feyenoord's offense.

On the other hand, Feyenoord's players on the field also had some problems. Under Graf Sharp's high-pressure press, Feyenoord's players passed the ball deformed, and they didn't know how to handle the ball at their feet.

Until the end of the first half, Feyenoord did not find the feeling of attacking, and it was as if there was no line at all throughout the first half.

The fans on the court kept shouting, but the form on the court did not change.The angry coach Koeman dropped the mineral water bottle directly on the sidelines at the end of the halftime.

The host of the stadium was still playing for Feyenoord at the end: "Feyenoord seemed to be adapting to the opponent's high pressure in the first half today. We believe that in the second half they will find their own strong offensive!!!"

"To the audience, fans, let's shout and applaud our players. I hope they can get back to their form in the second half." The stadium host gave a cheer at the end of halftime.
