Football: The immortal legend on the green field

During the winter break, Haarlem saw hope of returning to the first division this season. After some struggle, the stingy little Horst gritted his teeth and took out 500 euros from the advertising and broadcasting fees of Chinese companies to buy players, which greatly improved Haarlem's defense.

When it came to whether to introduce Junior, Neeskens also hesitated. Junior was not the only candidate at that time. His good friend Ali Han recommended the Chinese player Zheng Zhi to him. After watching the game videos of the two in their respective domestic leagues, the coaching staff except him all suggested choosing Zheng Zhi. The reason they gave was that Junior's skills were too fancy and flashy.

Junior's dazzling dribbling moves dazzled Neeskens, and he began to hesitate between Junior and Zheng Zhi.

Martins' words played a crucial role in making him decide to give up Zheng Zhi and choose Junior.

"There are already two Chinese players in the team. Zheng Zhi's joining will help them integrate into the team faster and create a more favorable chemistry."

With Shen Bin and Deng Zhuoxiang already in the team, it is already difficult for him to control the team. If he introduces another Chinese player, will Haarlem still be his own team?

Neeskens appears to be paying a heavy price for his self-righteousness.

Not only Haarlem SC saw the hope of promotion and increased the team's strength, but Roda JC did the same. They also introduced two players during the winter break, and Russian international Gerasimov was one of them.

Another player they introduced, Togo's attacking midfielder Strasser, is much more famous than Gerasimov. Last season, Strasser played in AC Milan's first team most of the time, made three appearances in Serie A and scored a goal. If he hadn't been injured later, he should have played more games.

He even made two appearances in the Champions League group stage, so he can be considered a player who has seen big scenes.

After the score became 1:1, Neeskens was extremely dissatisfied with the goal and was furious with the front players for not delaying the opponent's attack in time. Fortunately, Gural and El Barro, who were largely responsible for the goal, were on the other side of the court, and Junior, who was close to the bench, bore most of Neeskens' firepower.

It is not unfair for Junior to be scolded, this "living father" has never known how to defend.

The two teams once again engaged in a seesaw battle for a while.

In the 22nd minute of the second half, Tiote successfully intercepted the ball, resolved an attack by Roda JC, and passed the ball to Shen Bin.

Now, the black midfielder who had seen big scenes rushed towards Shen Bin along with the football.

However, Shen Bin seemed to have not seen him at all, and continued to raise his foot to stop the ball.

Strasser accelerated and rushed towards Shen Bin from the side.

Shen Bin raised his foot, shook his ankle, and kicked the falling football behind him...not to stop the ball, but to dribble past the opponent!

The football passed over Strasser's head, and at the same time Shen Bin quickly turned around to chase the ball, leaving Strasser empty-handed!

Many Roda JC fans were stunned when they saw this scene. They did not expect that the Chinese player, who was over 180 cm tall, could perform such a dribbling move like Ronaldinho and it was so flexible. There was no sign before and it was hard to guard against!

"Oh! Chinese monkey, come down! There are bananas here... Foul language filled the court."

There were cheers from the substitutes and coaches of Haarlem SC. There were no fans of Haarlem SC to cheer for them in this game, so the substitutes were the supporters of the players on the field.

Shen Bin dribbled past Strasser and turned around to get rid of Strasser, steadily taking the ball down from the air, but he did not speed up and rush forward with the ball.

After looking up and observing for a while, he passed the ball forward to a space between two central defenders.

Deng Zhuoxiang made a forward run and received the ball in that gap.

Deng Zhuoxiang had just taken two steps with the ball when Gerasimov followed. From Shen Bin's point of view, Deng Zhuoxiang's dribbling speed was obviously lower than before. It seemed that his physical fitness had reached the critical point. After all, this was his first adult game and he played the entire game. He didn't know how to allocate his physical fitness reasonably.

Deng Zhuoxiang knew that once he was entangled by Gerasimov, it would be difficult to get rid of him, so he would waste this opportunity.

He was panting heavily, and as Gerasimov approached, he chose to shoot directly from a distance as his speed was not enough.

He poured all his strength into his right foot, and the football flew towards the upper right corner of Roda JC's goal like a cannonball.

Fortunately, JC Luodong's goalkeeper Piscitelli made a wonderful save, lifting the ball over the crossbar with one hand, keeping the goal safe!

Corner kick by Haarlem.

Deng Zhuoxiang came to the corner area with the ball, and Shen Bin squeezed into the crowded small penalty area.

He noticed that Strasser was looking straight at him and laughed, "Why, man, you can't guard me."

Strasser approached, compared his height, and sneered, "You're not as tall as me. Are you complaining about the jumping ability of African Americans?"

"Really? Then let's have a competition. Let's begin." Shen Bin pointed to the corner flag area.

The other defender of Roda JC was not as confident as Strasser. He knew who was the most threatening header for Haarlem Athletic. He came to the other side of Shen Bin and pressed his body tightly against him, with his hands half hugged.

Strasser didn't leave either. "The coach said your header is very threatening. I want to see how you jump."

"Who said that corner kicks must be taken with headers?" Shen Bin smiled at him.

After saying that, he suddenly turned around, broke free from the two people's attack and ran out.

Strasser was stunned for a moment before he reacted. When he wanted to chase Shen Bin, he was trapped by the dense crowd in the penalty area.

And at this moment, Deng Zhuoxiang had already taken a corner kick!

Strasser could only watch as Shen Bin retreated first and then moved to the back point...

And the football also flew to the back point!

Shen Bin started adjusting his pace while running towards the back point. After he reached the back point with big strides, he directly swung his left foot and volleyed the ball!

"Bang!" Shen Bin's left foot hit the football firmly with the instep.

The football that was hit drew an upward arc in the air, just bypassing the upward-waving arm of the Roda JC goalkeeper, and then fell rapidly, and the football plunged into the net in the back corner of the goal!

In the 26th minute of the second half, Shen Bin broke the deadlock and Haarlem took the lead again.

The fans of Roda JC and the bench were in dead silence. They hadn't reacted yet, while the people from Harlem Athletic were cheering.

Then there were loud boos from the whole stadium, followed by verbal abuse. Some people cursed Shen Bin, some cursed Deng Zhuoxiang who took the corner kick, and more curses were directed at their own players and coaches.
