The midfield king of football life

Chapter 84

In the last cup match, Feyenoord was a guest at the Going Eagles, and finally lost 1-2, bidding farewell to the Dutch Cup.

Coach Koeman was furious about this. Although he was unwilling to disperse his energy on the cup game, the expressions of the players on the field were really bad. The whole game was dominated by the Dutch second mid-range team.

Despite the fire, the result has become a fact, and Koeman's head coach has no choice but to focus on the league two days later.

After the Going Eagles game, Feyenoord did not return to Rotterdam, because the rest time was only two days, so all the team members flew directly from the Going Eagles' main stadium to Groningen.This can save time for players to rest or train.

Groningen Football Club was established in 1971 and is located in Groningen, the Netherlands, but their performance has not been very good. They have won two Dutch second championships and won the Dutch Cup runner-up once in 1989.Last season, Groningen's performance was very eye-catching. At the end of the season, they ranked fifth in the league and won the opportunity to qualify for the Europa League play-offs.Unfortunately, he was eliminated in the end.

After the Feyenoord team arrived in Groningen, after communicating with the local football association, the Feyenoord staff found a training venue for pre-match training.

On the morning of the 29th, Coach Koeman called all the players to the training ground.

After the players arrived, Coach Koeman said: "Tomorrow's game, please don't take it lightly. We are playing away, and Groningen's performance last season was not bad. Although their top scorer Matavs has been transferred last season, another No. 10 midfielder Dusan Tadic is still in the team. Last season, Tadic's assists ranked No.3 in all major European leagues. This statistic is quite scary. There are activities near the road, so tomorrow we need to pay special attention to marking this player on the right side."

Hearing this, Nerome secretly wrote down the player's name in his heart.

"I have studied Groningen's style of play. They mainly rely on the rapid advancement of the two wingers, and then look for opportunities to cross or cut inside, or pass back to the center from the bottom of the inverted triangle, and the players from the center will go in and hit the goal. So tomorrow we have a heavy task on the two sides. To be honest, this is the weakness of our entire team. During the game tomorrow, when the two full-backs advance forward, they must pay attention to the opponent behind them. Coach Koeman said seriously.

Although Koeman said a lot of attention issues in the pre-match training, it was a different feeling when he actually encountered it on the spot.

On October 10, in the 30th round of the Eredivisie, Groningen played against Feyenoord at home.

Groningen's main stadium Osterpark Stadium, today's game in Groningen attracted many fans to watch. The fans in the auditorium were densely packed and filled the entire stand.

Groningen's home jersey is green and white. The fans in the audience are holding green and white flags, and the mountains are painted with green and white team logos.Looking around, it is very spectacular to put the Buddha in the grassland under the white clouds.

Feyenoord's dressing room.

Klassey and other teammates are hurrying to change their equipment, and Coach Koeman will come in later to give them some serious warnings and precautions.

"Feng, I don't feel very good today! Something big has happened!" Klassie said to Li Feng who was next to him while changing his shoes.

Li Feng jokingly said: "You are still working as a part-time predictor now! What big event will happen today! Don't think about our predictor, change your shoes quickly, and concentrate on playing football on the field, or wait to see Coach Coman's iceberg face."

On the other side, Lil Dam covered his face with his hands, as if he was resting, but also seemed to have something on his mind.The full-back Nerome sat there in a daze after changing his equipment, not knowing what he was thinking.

Klassey seemed particularly sensitive today, and he glanced at his teammates in the locker room, feeling even more disturbed.He and Li Feng felt relatively normal.

Klassie thought for a while, but didn't say anything. Maybe he was too sensitive, or maybe he was too obsessed.

After a while, coach Koeman walked in with a stern expression, and then said coldly: "Today you have to prepare for a hard fight. It is raining lightly on the court now, this damn weather. Playing in the rain will always make our pass not in place, our players can't keep up with the rhythm of the attack, and there may be mistakes in defense. Here I just want to emphasize one point. Today, you have to be [-] points. The last time we lost to Alkma in the rain, I hope we don't make the same mistake again. .Do you understand?"

"Understood!!!" The players present replied in unison.

After a while, the stadium broadcast sounded, and Li Feng and his teammates walked out of the player channel slowly.

The broadcast began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

Groningen also formed a 433 formation today. The frontcourt tridents are No. 9 David Tiggs, No. 7 Leando Bacuna and No. 12 Jones.

When the stadium host introduced the names of players from Groningen, there was prolonged applause at the scene.

Feyenoord's formation today is also 433. The starting lineup is similar to usual. The striker is composed of Gudetti, Fernandez, and Klassey. The midfielder Li Feng forms an iron triangle with Sai Vaz and Bakar.Today, Switz on the left was unable to play due to physical discomfort, and Daniel started instead of him.

When the home team introduced the starting rosters of the two teams, the rain on the stadium became heavier and heavier.Therefore, the opening ceremony ended hastily.

With the whistle of the referee, the 11th round of the Eredivisie, Groening's home game against Feyenoord officially started.

First kick off from Groningen.At this time, Klassie didn't know the reason, his heartbeat was fast and slow, and he was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.He shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the messy thoughts in his mind.
