The midfield king of football life

Chapter 83 Chapter 84

In the last Clasico against Ajax, Feyenoord ended up with a draw.From the perspective of the scene, Feyenoord has always taken the initiative, especially after 64 minutes, Ajax was sent off.Unfortunately, Feyenoord still failed to break through Ajax's goal in the last 30 minutes.

Ajax is a tired team, while Feyenoord is a completely rested team, and it ended in a draw.The pace of this game was very fast at the beginning, and the scene was very hot, so after the whole game, the players were much more tired than the average league, especially the Ajax players.

And then Feyenoord's schedule is quite heavy.

The 28th is the knockout round of the fourth round of the Dutch Cup. Feyenoord's opponent will be the Dutch second team Going Eagles Football Club.So far this season, the Going Eagles are temporarily ranked 11th in the Dutch second standings.

For Feyenoord, this cup game must be rotated.Feyenoord's goal this year is to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, so the cup championship can be won if it can, and the club does not insist on the cup championship.

Feyenoord club training ground the day before the game against the Going Eagles.

Coach Koeman stood on the sidelines, and the players lined up in a row. He said slowly: "We are satisfied with the result of the match against Ajax. The next thing we have to face is a cup match and a league match. There are only two days between them, so I will make some lineup adjustments for tomorrow's cup match."

Coach Koeman immediately took the starting list for tomorrow's cup game from his assistant, looked at it and said: "Tomorrow's starting lineup is 433. The forward line is composed of Shaken, Cabral and Sekou Sisse, the midfielder is composed of El Amadi, Van Halen and Mokzhuo, and the defense line is Vlaar, you and Daniel Fernandez are in the middle. The players in the lineup should not think that the cup is indifferent, as long as it is the championship honor, we have to fight for it, especially the rookies, we must seize the opportunity."

Coach Koeman didn't make any tactical arrangements, and he didn't want to put too much energy on the cup. His goal was to qualify for the Champions League and the league championship.And the opponent in the cup is, after all, a mid-range team in the Dutch second division.If this lineup loses in the end, it can only be said that the mentality of the players has relaxed, and it is definitely not a matter of strength.

But the results are always unexpected.

On October 10th, Feyenoord's away game against the Going Eagles arrived.

Going Eagles Football Club is a small football club based in the eastern Dutch city of Deventer.This club has a peculiarity, it is the only football club in the Netherlands named with English words.The main stadium of the Going Eagles is also very small, with a maximum capacity of only about 6000 fans.

Because it was a cup game, Klassey and Li Feng also went with the team, but they were all on the bench.

Klassie said softly on the bench: "Feng, do you think we will win this game?"

Li Feng looked at Kelasi strangely, wondering why he would ask such a question.But he still replied: "In terms of strength, we are definitely far stronger than them. Winning should be a high probability event."

Klassey went on to say: "I have an inexplicable bad feeling. Coach Koeman will definitely get angry today, because my eyelids have been twitching, and every time the eyelids twitch, Coach Koeman will get angry."

Li Feng almost laughed out loud when he heard Klassy's conclusion.

Between Li Feng and Klassie's talk, the game between the Going Eagles and Feyenoord has been going back and forth for several rounds.

Because it is a second-tier team, the Going Eagles dispatched the absolute main force today.Under normal circumstances, low-level teams will show 200% fighting spirit against high-level teams, because if they perform well in such a match, they are likely to be favored by other teams.So this cup is a stage for the players of the Going Eagles, a stage to show others their abilities.

While speaking, the Going Eagles players launched a fast break on the field, but Feyenoord's midfielders hadn't reacted yet. When the midfielders Amadi and Van Halen chased back, the Going Eagles players had already passed the ball to their forwards.

After getting the ball, forward Eagles forward Su Ke started to break through towards Flarr's side. First, he used his speed to break through abruptly, but Flarr kept the distance with experience.But just when Vlaar suddenly stopped following Su Ke's rhythm, Su Ke made a fake move of swaying left and right on the spot, and Vlaar's center of gravity was instantly tricked to the left.At this time, he could only watch Su Ke break through him, and then flashed out of the gap and shot directly.

In the 7th minute, just the 7th minute, forward Eagles forward Su Ke relied on his personal ability to shake off Vlaar and directly scored the goal. The score was 1-0, and the Eagles temporarily took the lead.

There was a huge shout in the stadium. Although there were not many people, the scene was still spectacular.

After seeing the Going Eagle's goal, Kelasi and Li Feng stared at each other in disbelief. Kelasi had a resentful expression on his face, as if he was blaming himself for the fact that he hit the crow's mouth.

Koeman's face on the coach's bench suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy.

The Feyenoord players on the field seemed to have not played for a long time, and they were not in shape at all. Many players were not concentrated at all and made many low-level mistakes.But the fact is that the players against Ajax were all resting on the bench, and none of the players on the field had consumed their energy before.

The Going Eagles started to defend after scoring a goal in the first half, while Feyenoord attacked fiercely, but after nearly half an hour of attacking, they still failed to break through the opponent's gate. The score was still 1-0, and the score remained unchanged until the end of the first half.

During the intermission, coach Koeman really got angry in the locker room and scolded the players on the field bloody.

Although the team was behind, Coach Koeman did not intend to let the main players play, but let this lineup continue to play.

It is said that misfortunes never come singly, and blessings never come twice. In the 58th minute of the second half, another young centre-back, Daniel Fernandez, was going forward and another striker tripped in the penalty area.The referee did not hesitate to give the forward eagle a penalty, which made the situation on Feyenoord's field worse.

Going Eagles striker Kolder scored a penalty kick steadily, and the score came to 2-0, which made all Feyenoord players unbelievable.

When the next broadcast camera turned to Feyenoord's bench, Coach Koeman and the players on the bench didn't dare to look directly.

Throughout the second half, the morale of the forward eagle players was getting higher and higher, and the more they played, the more confident they were, while the Feyenoord players played more and more lazily over time, so there were not a few commendable offenses in the second half.

Finally, in the 89th minute, still relying on a corner kick, Vlaar's header broke through the goal of the Going Eagles, which saved a little face.The final score was fixed at 2 to 1, and Feyenoord's cup journey ended here.
