The midfield king of football life

Chapter 88
On November 11th, the 6th round of the Eredivisie League, Feyenoord played at home against Nijmegen, which is currently ranked 12th in the league.

In the last game, Feyenoord suffered a disastrous defeat to Groningen. All Feyenoord fans in this game are looking forward to their team's victory over Nijmegen at home and take a bad breath.

No matter in terms of strength or fighting spirit, fans and gaming organizations are optimistic that Feyenoord can win.

The weather was excellent on this day, and the Feyenoord Stadium was full of seats today, and everyone was here looking forward to Feyenoord returning to the winning track.

In the Feyenoord locker room, coach Koeman was making the final emphasis on Sai Qiang as usual.This game is very important for everyone, it is related to the subsequent qualification for the UEFA Champions League.

Coach Koeman said seriously: "I won't talk about tactical matters. I have already explained to you very thoroughly before the game. The key now is your mental state and performance on the field. Players on the field don't think about other things. Concentrate on the game and think about our goal this season-getting tickets to the UEFA Champions League."

After Koeman's head coach finished speaking, Klassey told Li Feng that he was not feeling well today when he walked out of the player tunnel, and Li Feng immediately turned his eyebrows coldly on him.Li Feng really wanted to win this game.

Soon the announcement was heard on the court, and players from both teams began to come out along the player tunnel.

When the Feyenoord players came out, the Feyenoord fans welcomed them with the warmest applause and shouts.

Li Feng thought to himself, with such enthusiastic support from the fans, why would they not play well?

After the simple opening ceremony, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

After the players from both sides took their positions, Li Feng discovered the problem.Nijmegen's formation today is 541, which is simply an iron barrel formation.Li Feng suddenly felt dizzy, thinking that Krasi's prophecy might come true again.

Feyenoord kicks off first.

G Fernandez gave the ball to Clasi, who passed the ball back to Li Feng.After receiving the ball, Li Feng did not push forward in a hurry, and waited for the players from Nijmegen to come and press.

On the other hand, Li Feng was also waiting for the forward to run to his position, preparing for a sneak attack.But this time he was depressed, because the opponent had a 5-back formation, almost a 2-defense-1 pattern, which made Clasi and the others look hard.This made it impossible for Li Feng to directly attack with a long pass.

The match gas next to him cursed: "This formation is officially shameless!" Then he looked at Li Feng, and the two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Li Feng saw that Nijmegen's players did not all come forward, it seemed that Nijmegen had made up his mind to get 1 point today and he would be satisfied.

Li Feng, Bisevas, and Bacal began to pass short passes to each other, and began to slowly advance towards Nijmegen's half.

In the first few minutes, Nijmegen relied on the numerical advantage of the midfielder and repeatedly destroyed Feyenoord's short pass penetration, making it difficult for Li Feng's ground push to pass through the opposing midfielder.

In desperation, Li Feng had no choice but to make a mid-range pass.Classi and Goodetti and Fernandez also had to start dropping back to catch the ball.

In the 5th minute, Li Feng and Bisevas started to advance, and Bacal also stepped forward to respond and organize. With Nijmegen further compressing the defense, Feyenoord's defense also advanced to the half-court area.

Bacal passed the ball to Li Feng who retreated. After Li Feng received the ball, he was immediately double-teamed by two midfielders from Nijmegen, and they were all physically head-to-head. This made it difficult for Li Feng to drive the ball forward or pass it to the frontcourt.He had to pass the ball back to Bacal.

In the 6th minute, Li Feng received another pass from Bacal. Li Feng glanced behind him, and sure enough, there were still two players from Nijmegen coming to press.

When Nijmegen's midfielder Ron was about to step forward to destroy the ball received by Li Feng, Li Feng suddenly didn't catch the ball directly to stop the ball. Instead, he pulled the ball back with his left foot, then turned around, and then flicked to the left with his right foot.

After getting rid of it, Li Feng took the opportunity to push forward quickly, seeing that Van der Velden, who was lagging behind in Nijmegen's midfield, had come to stop him.Li Feng quickly passed the ball to G Fernandez who retreated.

But as soon as Fernandez received the ball, there was a huge impact from behind.Fernandez was kicked and pushed to the ground by Nijmegen's central defender Ganbauer.

The referee blew the whistle without hesitation, and the Nijmegen players fouled.

At this time, Fernandez was still lying on the ground, hugging his heels in pain.Clasi came up to the referee and signaled that a yellow card should be issued.

After looking at Fernandez's heel, the referee saw that it was bleeding, and immediately showed Ganbauer the first yellow card of the game.

Nijmegen's dense defense is difficult to break through by advancing on the ground. Set-pieces are a good way.

G Fernandez himself took the set kick, which was on the left near the arc of the penalty area.The distance is a little bit far, but it is also within the range of a direct shot.

After G Fernandez adjusted, he ran up and swung his legs. The ball slid a beautiful arc in the air. Unfortunately, it finally crossed the goal crossbar and flew directly out of the field.

"Huh" the fans let out a huge sigh.

While running back, Bicevas quietly said to Li Feng: "It's not an option to go on like this. Have you seen the expression of Coach Koman on the sidelines? We have to find a way to break this helpless and shameful intensive defense. Is there any way for you?"

Li Feng nodded and said: "I have no other way now, I can only rely on set-pieces or crosses from the wing, I can only try them all, as long as I score one goal, then we will see how they will defend themselves."

Nijmegen's goalkeeper kicked the ball out with a big kick, and Bacal in the backcourt controlled the ball.

Bicevas immediately retreated to meet Bacal's pass.Just when Bakar passed the ball to Bisevas, Nijmegen's midfielder No. 10 Thorne suddenly stepped forward behind Bisevas and intercepted the ball.

Then came Nijmegen's quick counterattack.

Bakar also stepped forward to interfere and press Thorne immediately, but Thorne quickly passed the ball to Van der Velden who was plugging in behind.

Van der Velden and Thorne quickly alternated short passes and quickly advanced to Feyenoord's last defensive line.

After receiving the ball, Thorne made a fake move to pull the ball to the left, which attracted Indy's attention, and then picked the ball directly on the spot. At this time, Van der Velden had already started to go forward.

The ball landed firmly on Van der Velden's way forward. At this time, Vander Velden caught up with the ball and formed a single-handed fight.

Van der Velden calmly scored the ball in the face of Feyenoord's goalkeeper.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Nijmegen made a frontcourt steal and formed a counterattack to score the first goal of the field.

When Nijmegen scored this goal, one side of the Feyenoord Stadium was silent, and Nijmegen fans cheered on the other side.

The two sides of the court formed a stark contrast.
