Football: The immortal legend on the green field

Two teams aiming for promotion met head-on.

The result is that the two teams, who were close friends last season, lost 1:3 in the first round of this season. The only goal came from Lee Dong-gook, who came on as a substitute in the second half.

The day after the loss, the boss Horst Jr. called Martins to his office and talked for a whole morning, telling him that he must remain undefeated in the remaining two league rounds when Neeskens is not there. In his opinion, his team's choice to go head-to-head with Eindhoven is putting the cart before the horse. In the FA Cup with the participation of the first-tier teams, the chances of Haarlem Dynamo getting good results are almost zero.

Little Horst has not been in a very good mood these two days. According to the news just received, the new 23-man roster of the Chinese youth team has finally come out. Not only is Shen Bin, who is at the center of public opinion, not on the list, but even Deng Zhuoxiang is not on it.

He took the initiative to contact Jia Yueting of LeTV, but was met with ridicule from the other party. He even reduced the price from 2000 million euros to 1000 million euros, but was still humiliated by the other party.

Even so, little Horst has not given up hope of cooperating with LeTV. As far as he knows, Star Sports has already taken action and he cannot help much for the time being. He can only hope to assist Star Sports by continuous victories and win the favor of the generous Chinese people.

This made little Horst hate Neeskens even more.

Martins assured Horst that he would give his all in the next two league rounds. If he failed to meet the club's requirements, he would choose to retire and leave Haarlem SC on his own initiative.

However, the boss's request was in conflict with what Neeskens told him before he left. Neeskens asked him to give up these two rounds of the league and bring down Eindhoven. Neeskens was still so arrogant and conceited. He thought that when he came back, he would fight for the lost league ranking.

We can lose the league, but PSV must die...

The team lost the game and the atmosphere within the team was not good. It would be better not to let the players know about this. After all, they would go south to Maastricht and Eindhoven for a very, very difficult game in two days.

It was quite humane of the Dutch Football Association to arrange the rematch in Limburg province. Coincidentally, PSV Eindhoven played away against Maastricht in the third round of the league, and Haarlem's third round opponent Venlo was only 20 kilometers away from Maastricht, the capital of Limburg province, so both teams did not have to travel long distances.

The Netherlands is a very small country, with an area of ​​square kilometers. It only takes three and a half hours to drive from north to south. Therefore, many teams will drive to the game on the day of the game and return on the same day after the game, which can save a day. For small clubs with limited financial resources, it can also save a lot of money.

It only takes more than two hours to drive from Amsterdam to Maastricht. The scenery outside the window is beautiful. Shen Bin did not feel bored along the way. The scenery along the way is beautiful. The mountains and fields are covered with green grass carpets, dotted with unknown wild flowers. Since joining the team, he often lay on the hillside in the sanatorium and smelled the fragrance of tulips. It seemed like a century had passed.

Now, every day is training, training, learning, and learning. Now, he can finally take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery on the way to Maastricht. Time passed quietly while he was enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Deng Zhuoxiang is still the same as before, still wearing headphones and closing his eyes, immersed in the world of music. He is not interested in things outside.

When the bus arrived at the destination, it was only 10 o'clock in the afternoon. After getting off the bus, the team rested for an hour and then went to have lunch. After another two hours of rest, the match between PSV Eindhoven and Haarlem SC will start at the Limburg Arena.

Because of the impact of the previous fight, this match was selected by the Dutch national television sports channel to be broadcast live to the whole of Europe. Therefore, in order to facilitate the broadcast, the match was moved to noon.

Fortunately, there is a light breeze in the Netherlands today, and the weather is turning from cloudy to overcast, so there is no need to worry about the temperature being too high or the sun being too strong even in the middle of the day.

The lunch is mainly for energy supplementation, and the quantity is not much. Players should not eat too much before the game, as eating too much will make the blood thicker, weaken the circulation ability, lead to muscle weakness, and reduce the mental concentration of players on the court.

After dinner, all the team members took a short break in the hotel. They needed to take a nap, otherwise they would easily get tired and injured during the midday game.

Shen Bin and the others were woken up one by one by Shen Yuanchao early in the morning. They were afraid of missing the away game. Since they got up too early in the morning, they were really sleepy and fell asleep quickly.

The players can rest with peace of mind, but the coach has no right to rest. Martins and Brewer continue to study PSV Eindhoven. Although he has been studying for a week, he still hopes to find more flaws in the opponent.

Judging from the starting lineup announced by PSV Eindhoven, Neeskens' series of mysterious operations were invalidated.

Not only did PSV Eindhoven not fear the killing tactics advocated by Haarlem, they also sent out all their main players. This lineup was even more terrifying than the first round between the two sides.

Compared with the first leg, PSV Eindhoven replaced five players. In addition to Roger McCoy replacing the suspended Norwegian defender Ebsen, the left back was replaced by South Korean international Lee Young-pyo, who was praised by Transfermarkt as one of the three best defenders in Asia. The other two were Iranian Madavikia who played for Hamburg in the Bundesliga, and Chinese defender Sun Jihai who played for Manchester City.

Li Young-pyo is not physically strong, but he is very flexible, can run endlessly, and has a tenacious style, but the quality of his crosses is not high.

Hiddink, who was the head coach of PSV Eindhoven last season, brought this Korean player in. Lee Young-pyo won Hiddink's favor with his outstanding performance in the Korea-Japan World Cup, and he himself is indeed capable.

After a season of trials, Lee Young-pyo is already able to share playing time with Cruyff Jr.

In the new season, after PSV Eindhoven changed its head coach, Gerard Vanenberg has not yet made up his mind who to use in this position. In the first three games, the two basically took turns to be the banker.

There was another Korean starting in midfield, he was South Korea's top star Park Ji-sung, he replaced right winger John van Hondalen who was injured in the league four days ago.

Puzhixing is just 24 years old this year. He is active and flexible. He also won the favor of Hiddink because of his outstanding performance in the Korean national team and was brought to the Netherlands. In the last round of the league, he assisted two goals and gradually got more playing opportunities.

Among the forwards, the most dangerous one is Kežman, who was just introduced a few days ago. Kežman is 23 years old and a Serbian international. His partner is Huntelaar, who performed well in the last game.

Gerrard was quick to accept the advice and made corresponding adjustments to the lineup based on the poor control of the midfield in the last game. He abandoned the 433 and switched to 442, changing the midfield from three to four, to compete with the midfield led by Shen Bin of Hallam Athletic.

Martins frowned. Facing such a strong opponent, the only thing he could do was to pray to God for a miracle, otherwise it would be impossible to win. Although the football is round, in the case of a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the football also becomes a triangle - the most stable shape.
