Alkmaar Football Club is also a football club with a history. It, together with Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, is called the Big Four of the Eredivisie. Although the outside world has only recognized the other three as the Big Three of the Eredivisie, it also shows that Alkmaar has the strength to compete with the other three.

The most glorious time for Alkmaar was the 2008-2009 season. At that time, the famous coach Van Gaal led Alkmaar to achieve an unbeaten record of 28 league rounds, and thus won the Eredivisie championship that season.Since the start of this season, Alkma has a strong momentum, especially at home, and has not lost a single game so far.

In the match between Alkmaar and Feyenoord at home, mainstream European betting agencies gave Alkmaar a handicap or one goal at home, which also shows that Alkmaar's home combat ability is still recognized by many betting agencies.The same is true for judging from actual data.

Alkmaar's main stadium is next to the A9 highway in Alkmaar, and the entire stadium can accommodate about 17000 fans.Alkmaar AFANS Stadium is crowded with people today, and there are no empty seats.This game is also a very important game for Alkma. Any game against the Big Three will affect the final league ranking.So the popularity of today's game is self-evident.

Before the game, the atmosphere in the dressing rooms of Feyenoord and Alkmaar was very serious.

Feyenoord coach Koeman said to his players: "In the first half, we should try our best to play more proactively. If we have the opportunity to make a goal first and finish the game, we will drag Bi into our rhythm."

On the other side, Alkma's coach Verbeck also said to his players: "We beat Eindhoven 3-1 before. We did a good job in that game. The rhythm has always been under our control. Today's game is the same. First control the ball at our feet, and then look for opportunities to score goals."

After a while, the stadium broadcast sounded, and players from the two teams slowly came out of the player tunnel, and the stadium burst into deafening applause and shouts.

After a brief opening ceremony, the game started after the referee's whistle.

Feyenoord kicks off first.

Forward Shaken paid attention to passing back to Klassey. To be on the safe side, Klassey did not dribble the ball directly into the opponent's half.

Bakar, who was lagging behind, started to run forward, but Alkmaar's five midfielders were very tightly marked. Although Feyenoord's players were very active in running, their advancement was not smooth.

In the opening 10 minutes, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield, each made mistakes and steals, but neither formed an effective shot.

In the 15th minute, Alkma made a continuous pass in the frontcourt. When advancing to the front, striker Altidore continued to sway left and right after receiving a pass from his teammate, knocking down Feyenoord veteran Vlaar to the ground. Just when Altidore was about to break through, central defender Lilledam quickly came over to make up for the ball and destroyed the ball.

This was a relatively threatening attack by Alkma in the first half, but fortunately, Lilledam made a timely remedy.

After Alkmaar knew of Vlaar's weakness, he attacked him several times in a row, which made Lierdam very busy.Although Alkma did not form a goal, as long as it breaks through once, it will form a goal.

So in the 27th minute, coach Koeman on the sidelines had to replace Vlaar and let the young teenager Indy play.

In the first half, Alkmaar and Feyenoord came and went, the scene was very hot, and the offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides changed very quickly, which made the fans in the audience not come in vain.

Until the 36th minute, the form on the field changed.

Bisevas on the wing received a pass from his teammate and made several back-and-forth passes with the midfielder Bacal. Gudmunsen on the wing of Alkma was attracted by Bisevas.

When Gudmunsen was about to step forward to press Bisevas, Vass passed the ball to the right back Nerome immediately.

After receiving the ball, Nerome quickly took it to advance along the wing, and Gudmunsen quickly came back to press Nerome.At this time, Nerome and Bicevas made a one-by-one collision with the wall, leaving Gudmunsen behind all of a sudden, and then dribbling the ball directly to the ground and galloping away.

Klassey moved quickly to the right, ready to meet Nerome.

When Alkmaar's defenders came to defend Nerome, Nerome asked for a diagonal pass to Klassey, and at this time Alkmaar's entire defense line was shifting to the right.

After receiving the ball, Klassey immediately passed it to the retreating Goodetti, and Alkmaar's central defender Marcelis turned sideways with experience, keeping a certain distance from Goodetti to prevent him from breaking through.

Goodti saw that there was no chance, so he quickly passed the pass to Shaken. Facing Alkmaard's defender Paulsen, Shaken made a few fake breakthroughs, but failed to fool Paulsen.

And at this moment, suddenly a figure galloped away from Paulson's left side, and Shaken quickly passed it through with a kick. At this time, Paulson didn't have time to react, because his attention was all on Shaken.

"Oops, I was pushed forward!" Paulson's first reaction was this, but he was already a step late when he turned around.

It was Bacal who suddenly went forward. After receiving a direct pass from Shaken, Bakar quickly kicked and shot. The ball flew into the net quickly, and Alkma's goalkeeper had no time to react.The series coordination of all these happens between the lightning and the flint.

"Goaaaaaa... llllllll!"

"Wow, finally scored! Feyenoord's defensive midfielder Bacal suddenly went forward and scored with a blast, scoring the first goal for Feyenoord. Now the score is 1-0, and Feyenoord is temporarily leading." The stadium host shouted excitedly.

Feyenoord fans from afar shouted for Bacal!

On the sidelines, Coach Koeman also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally took the lead by one goal, so the scene will be passive.

Although Li Feng didn't play, he stood up and applauded excitedly when he saw his teammates score a goal.

This game was also broadcast live in China.When many fans in China were looking forward to it, thinking that Li Feng would start this game, but saw Li Momo sitting on the bench in the live broadcast, the netizens fans were not calm at this time.

"It is reasonable for Li Feng to start this game. Since the start of the game, Li Feng's performance is obvious to all, and he was also selected as the best team of the month in the Eredivisie League." A netizen said on the Internet.

"Could it be that he was injured? I haven't heard the news!" Another netizen asked speculatively.

For a while, the Internet speculated that the reasons why Li Feng did not start were all kinds of strange. Some said he was injured, some said he was not in good condition, and some said he had a conflict with the head coach.

After Feyenoord scored a goal in the first half of the game, Alkmaar's press became more ferocious, and the offense became more and more sharp, almost breaking the goal several times.

However, Feyenoord's players on the field did a good job defensively.In the end, the score remained at 1-0 at the end of the first half, with Feyenoord leading by 1 goal.
