The midfield king of football life

Chapter 89

In the opening 7 minutes, Feyenoord was still very passive on the court.There was no good way to break through Nijmegen's dense defense, but they were hit by a counterattack.This caused fluctuations in the hearts of the players.

Coach Koeman on the sidelines put his hands on his chest and walked back and forth on the sidelines, as if trying to find a way to solve the current dilemma on the court.

Feyenoord kicks off again.

Fernandez still lightly passed the ball to Clasi, who knocked back to Li Feng.

After Li Feng received the ball, he didn't infiltrate into the middle this time. He started to push forward along the sidewalk, so as to avoid being double-teamed by the opponent in the midfield.

Li Feng knocked the ball back to Bakar, signaling for Bakar to respond on the side, and Switz also began to pay attention to advancing on the side.

After receiving the pass from Li Feng, Switz started to take the ball forward, and Li Feng also responded to him from the side at any time.

Seeing this situation, Goodetti retreated decisively to get the ball.Switz passed the ball to Li Feng and started to advance. Li Feng received the ball and passed it to Goodetti.

Nijmegen's full-back Nudinke quickly stepped forward to block Goodti's path. Goodti wanted to try to break through Nudinke's bottom and then find a chance to pass.It's a pity that there is Gan Paul behind Newdinck to support him.After trying, Goodetti had no choice but to pass it back to Li Feng.

After Li Feng received the ball, he looked in the direction of Clasi, who also found Li Feng, and the two had a tacit understanding.

Li Feng made some adjustments and made a long pass over the top of the arc. The ball bypassed Nijmegen's defense and landed behind it.At this time, Klassey has already started to bottom.

And Fernandez and Goodetti in the middle also ran towards the penalty area.After receiving the ball, Klassey swept the ball and quickly passed the ball to the center.

Unfortunately, Klassey's low-level cross was blocked by Nijmegen's central defender Willenberg out of the bottom line.

Feyenoord's corner kick, Nerome quickly took the corner kick, but unfortunately the corner kick was too close to the goal and was confiscated by Nijmegen's goalkeeper.

Throughout the first half, Feyenoord scored as many as 12 shots, but only had 5 threatening shots. The main offensive method was crosses from the wing or set balls. Such methods are difficult to pose a threat to Nijmegen.

Towards the end of the midfield, Coach Koeman replaced Indy, who was in poor form, with the veteran Vlaar.

At the end of the first half, Feyenoord was still 1 goal behind, which made the atmosphere in Feyenoord's locker room very tense during the half-time break.Everyone didn't dare to pant loudly, for fear that Coach Coman's anger would burn him.

"We have to play more aggressively in the second half. Don't be afraid of breaking through. Just play Ganbauer who got a yellow card in Nijmegen in the first half, draw him for a foul, and let him go off the field. In addition, we have the opportunity to shoot long shots from outside the penalty area." Coach Koeman said unexpectedly lightly.

Soon the second half began. According to Coach Koeman's deployment, Li Feng tried his best to attack Ganbaoer's side.

In the 62nd minute, when Li Feng dribbled the ball, he was shoveled by Nijmegen's midfielder Kohlik. The referee gave Kohlik a yellow card without hesitation, which was the second yellow card of the game.

In order to defend tightly, Nijmegen's defensive actions are very aggressive. Every time a Feyenoord player falls to the ground, the Feyenoord fans in the audience will boo the Nijmegen players hugely.

From the beginning of the second half, Nijmegen began various delaying tactics, trying to consume time as much as possible until the end of the game.

As the game time dwindled, the Feyenoord players became more and more impatient, and there were several pass errors in the frontcourt.Fortunately, the players counter-robbed or destroyed them on the spot.

In the 76th minute, coach Koeman had no choice but to replace the full-back Switz and replace the veteran Cabral, increasing the number of players on the front line to four.Anyway, they are currently behind by 4 goal. If they don't score a goal, they may not even get 1 league point.

Similarly, Nijmegen also made corresponding substitution adjustments. On the one hand, it consumes time, and on the other hand, it arranges tactics.

With less than 20 minutes left, it may be the critical time of this game.

Sure enough, after Feyenoord added an offensive player, the amount of threat on the front line has increased, and there are more attack points in the penalty area.

In the 80th minute, Li Feng received a pass from Bicevas, and made a 45° cross from the left side. The ball drew an arc and flew into the penalty area. Veteran Cabral relied on his height advantage to jump up and earn the first spot of the ball. Unfortunately, the ball was a little bit off the top and flew out against the goal post.

At this time, Nijmegen had already given up the offense, and started to fall in the backcourt after the kick-off. They had made up their minds to hold the ball to the end.

Klassie was indignant about this. After the game, he kept cursing: "Damn Nijmegen, shameless style of play, shrinking like a turtle!"

But this can't be helped, and in the end Feyenoord failed to break through the gate of Nijmegen at the last moment.Since they lost to Groningen in the last game, they were defeated by Nijmegen at home with Tietong tactics.

After this round of competition, Feyenoord's league points have dropped to 8th, while Vidis, who had been silent before, went to 4th, and No.1 is still Alkma.This league format has made Feyenoord's road to the championship farther and farther.

Feyenoord has now lost 3 rounds of the league. To be precise, it has 1 draw and 2 losses. It only scored 3 league point in 1 rounds.

After the game, Coach Koeman was depressed when he was interviewed by the media.A sports reporter in the Rotterdam area asked Coach Koeman sharply: "Mr. Ronald Koeman, when you first joined Feyenoord, you said that your goal this season is to win the Eredivisie and qualify for the Champions League. Do you still think so? Do you think you still have a chance now?"

Coach Koeman was very angry in his heart, but he still had to answer: "Now that the league has not passed halfway, everything is hopeful. I still believe in my players. At the end of the season, we will answer the question you just asked with facts."

After Coach Koeman finished speaking, he forced a smile.

The reporter was a little embarrassed, and continued to ask: "Mr. Koman, what do you think is the reason for your failure in today's game? Your team must be stronger than your opponent's requirements, but you still lost to them. Why?"

When Coach Koeman heard the reporter asking this question, he suddenly became very impatient, and replied angrily: "Because the opponent is too shameless. If I only pursue one point, today is obviously a 0-0 game. Feyenoord never played such boring games for fans for points."

After Coach Koeman finished speaking, he left the scene without looking back.
