The midfield king of football life

Chapter 96
On December 12th, in the 4th round of the Eredivisie, Feyenoord played against Eindhoven at home.

On this day, all the major sports media gathered at the Feyenoord Stadium, and they all reported the game that had been hyped for a long time in the early stage.

Outside the Feyenoord Stadium, home fans hold Feyenoord's iconic red and white souvenirs, and some fans have the Feyenoord team logo painted on their faces.The Olympic Avenue in front of the Feyenoord Stadium has already been crowded with people, blocking the street.

Among the crowd, some fans waved flags and shouted outside the stadium holding the PSV Eindhoven team logo, as if they were demonstrating with Feyenoord fans.

As the fans entered the field one after another, the players of Feyenoord and Eindhoven also began to change their equipment in the locker room, waiting for the final instructions and arrangements of their head coach.

In the Feyenoord locker room, coach Koeman looked serious.

"This game is very important to us. Before the game, we hope that you are aware of our deployment to PSV. Guys, let's fight for the championship!" Coach Koeman said.

For the first time, Coach Koeman used such simple words to encourage his players.After finishing speaking, Coach Koeman stretched out his palm, and the players also stretched out their palms together, and then shouted in unison: "For the championship, fight hard!"

The tactics Koeman should arrange before the game have been clearly arranged. The only thing he can do now is to keep the players' fighting spirit high. His words ignited the fighting spirit in the players' hearts.

On the other side, the PSV Eindhoven locker room.

Head coach Fred said seriously: "Feyenoord is a strong opponent, and they have now come out of the previous failed state, so we must pay special attention not to underestimate their desire for the championship. This season, our strong offensive firepower in the midfield is our advantage. Guys, let Feyenoord experience the feeling of not being able to pass the midfield! Beat them at home and let them know that the championship does not belong to a team like them."

Eindhoven's head coach also knows how to arouse the fighting spirit of the players. Sometimes when teams with similar strength compete, it depends on whose confidence and fighting spirit are stronger, and whoever can gain the upper hand.

After a while, the Feyenoord Stadium broadcast sounded, and the game ceremony was about to begin.Players from both teams began walking down the tunnel towards the field.At this time, the Feyenoord Stadium was boiling, and the fans of both teams were cheering for their teams.The Feyenoord fan area is the iconic red and white, while the matchable area is the typical blue and black, which is the color of PSV Eindhoven's away jersey.

After a brief opening ceremony, the referee blew the whistle for the game.

Feyenoord kicks off first.

After the referee blew the whistle, Goodetti gave the ball to Klassey lightly, and then he wanted to run to PSV halftime.Klassie lightly knocked the ball back to Li Feng, letting him organize the team's offense. Today's game is also a duel between Li Feng and Wijnaldum. Whoever plays well between the two of them may lead the team to victory.

After receiving the ball, Li Feng passed it back to Bakar behind him, and then wanted to run to the left.According to the tactics arranged by Coach Koeman, Li Feng was going to play behind the Eindhoven midfielder from the wing.

Li Feng, who ran to the side, received Bacal's return pass. Li Feng looked at Goodetti's position, then made a slight adjustment, and lobbed the ball directly to the gap next to Goodetti with a long pass.Feyenoord fans applauded Li Feng's precise long pass, and applause erupted in the stadium.

Goodetti easily received Li Feng's pass, and the PSV players reacted extremely quickly.Strootman and defender Peters on the wing began to double-team like Goodetti.

After receiving the ball, Goodetti saw that there was no one to respond in the middle, so he could only take it to the bottom line on the side.Before waiting for PSV's players to form a double-team, Goodetti made a big cross, trying to find Clasi on the right.It's a pity that Goodetti's cross was a little bit small, and was headed to his teammate by Eindhoven's central defender Manolev.

Eindhoven's fast-break counterattack.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Englar quickly passed the ball to Wijnaldum in the midfield.

After receiving the ball, Wijnaldum passed it to the teammate next to him, and then quickly accelerated towards Feenoord's half.

Eindhoven's players pass the ball with one kick, so their counterattack is very fast, and they advance to Feyenoord's penalty area in no time.

Eindhoven has Toivonen, a tall striker on the front line, and Mertens, who reacts quickly and moves in time. Wijnaldum found the opportunity and made an over-the-top pass directly to Toivonen in the penalty area.

It's a pity that Toivonen was closely watched by Feyenoord's central defender Lilledam. When Toivonen took off, he was interfered by Lilledam, so this time he missed the header and pushed the ball directly out of the sideline.

"Huh..." The stadium fans let out a loud sigh.

Both sides have attacked like this several times, but they failed to break the deadlock first and advance the opponent by a goal.

Eindhoven hit again, but it went wide.

Feyenoord's goal kick.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of running, Goodetti approached Sekusise and said softly: "When there is no chance in the middle, you should go to the side to meet me, so that Li Feng and Bicevas have time to step forward."

Secusise nodded and replied, "I understand, don't worry, I know how to do it."

Feyenoord goalkeeper Daly kicked the ball to Switz on the wing. After receiving the ball, Switz slowly moved forward along the side. At this time, Li Feng was also running ahead to respond.

Seeing Li Feng running into the gap, Switz quickly passed the ball, and then quickly advanced himself.

After Li Feng received the ball, he made another long pass and passed the ball to Goodetti in the frontcourt.Eindhoven's midfielders didn't seem to have a good solution for this. They felt that Feyenoord's Li Feng was not slippery and would not confront them head-on at all, which made them very depressed.

This time, after Goodetti received the ball, Secusise in the middle quickly moved to the left, ready to meet Goodetti.Eindhoven's midfielder Englar also followed closely behind him.

Goodetti passed the ball back to Secusise, and then drove himself into the baseline penalty area.Secusise also understood very well that when Goodetti started, he slanted his foot and passed the ball to Goodetti at the bottom.

But the problem is that Feyenoord doesn't have many offensive players in the frontcourt, only three of them, so they are easy to be marked.

Eindhoven's central defender Manolev had long been eyeing Sekusise, and followed him when he passed the ball, directly destroying his pass from the sideline.

In the first 15 minutes of the first half, the back-and-forth offense and defense between the two sides was very intense, and the audience and fans often gave bursts of applause.Now it's up to which side breaks the deadlock first.
