Football: The immortal legend on the green field

After losing a good chance to counterattack, Utrecht had to fight a positional battle with Haarlem. The ball was passed several times in front of Haarlem's penalty area, but was resolved by Haarlem's effective movement. Utrecht's Brazilian foreign aid Cordoba gradually lost his patience and took a long shot about 40 meters away from the goal, but the ball was steadily confiscated by Sasa.

Goalkeeper Sasa ran forward a few steps and saw his teammates preparing to counterattack. He knew this was a good opportunity.

"Counterattack!" Sasa was about to throw the ball to Shen Bin at the top of the penalty area. He first saw Fritz, who was wearing a yellow jersey and was running towards Shen Bin not far away from Shen Bin. He bumped Shen Bin lightly with his shoulder, and Shen Bin staggered and his speed slowed down immediately.

Sasa had to temporarily throw the ball to Antonin Polart on the wing.

Sterling and Gular ran towards the backcourt, one on the left and one on the right. Seeing that the ball did not reach Shen Bin, they had to stop. The fast break launched by the goalkeeper of Haarlem Athletic ended in vain.

The two sides once again engaged in a seesaw battle, with the match time going back and forth in positional battles until the 26th minute of the game, when Deng Zhuoxiang saw that Shen Bin was completely restricted by his opponent and began to frequently return to test the support.

Tiote successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Deng Zhuoxiang in time. The symbolic harassment of the Brazilian Cordoba did not affect Deng Zhuoxiang's movements. He pulled the ball away and made a long pass of about 20 meters directly to Howard on the center line.

The opponent quickly retreated again, with the defensive midfielder Zelos harassing and the two wingers running back. This scene has happened several times. The two teams used almost the same tactics. It seems that the coaching staff of both teams did a lot of homework before the game and were fully prepared.

The meaning is very clear. Don't try to use fast break to attack. Utrecht's defense on Shen Bin is extremely tight, which is to tell Shen Bin, don't even think about passing the ball!

Friedrich also came to his defensive position and went straight to the opponent's center Howard who was holding the ball.

"Damn it!" Howard felt very uncomfortable, mainly because these guys were approaching too quickly. Although he had the advantage in the confrontation, it was still very annoyed to be messed with like this.

Friedrich suddenly started pushing, which caused Howard to quickly step on the ball, pulling it away from Friedrich while holding off the opponent.

While waiting for his teammates to move forward and support, the opponent's other central defender, Findis, arrived one step faster.

When Howard was about to make the next move, Findis had already made a sliding tackle and tackled the ball under his feet.

"Asshole!" Howard was about to chase after him when he suddenly felt someone pulling him, preventing him from starting smoothly.

He was pulled by Friedrich.

After Friedrich pulled the player, he immediately started to move, ready to cooperate with his teammates to control the ball, and then follow up again.

"Another midfield steal! Utrecht's pressing awareness in this game was excellent."

The commentator said excitedly, "We all know that both coaches have been engaged in coaching for more than 20 years. Total attack and total defense has been deeply rooted in their bones. In this tactical system, high-pressure pressing is a very critical link!"

"The so-called high-pressure is a tactic that starts from the opponent's half, disrupting the opponent's offensive system and increasing the team's ball possession rate and counterattack. It is a tactic that turns passivity into initiative and advocates that the best defense is offense."

"Utrecht has been using this tactic this season, but Haarlem changed all that during Neeskens' coaching period. Their agility, speed and defensive midfielder organization system have also achieved good results. Now, Haarlem's head coach has been replaced by Martins. They have changed the existing system and returned to traditional Dutch football."

"But their first attempt was also effective and put Utrecht's attack in trouble."

"Their midfield engine seemed at a loss under Fritz's focused defense, and Shen Bin's running speed dropped significantly."

Under Fritz's close defense, other players of Haarlem Athletic obviously could not find any opportunities to pass the ball to Shen Bin. This situation has occurred several times.

"It feels good to be ignored, right?" Fritz seemed to know Shen Bin's troubles.

"Don't talk to me." Shen Bin responded coldly, "I'm allergic to bald people with ugly looks."

Tiote got the ball again and habitually looked at Shen Bin. Seeing that Fritz was still defending strictly, he was about to choose Deng Zhuoxiang again.

But Shen Bin made a gesture to him, and Tiote tacitly took the ball one step further.

Shen Bin suddenly lowered his center of gravity without the ball and quickly hit Fritz's aorta with his knee. Fritz's whole body went numb, and he lost the ability to move for a while, and his eyes went black.

By the time he reacted, Shen Bin had already run seven or eight steps and successfully received the pass from Tiote.

"Referee! Are you indifferent to the fact that he intentionally hurt someone?" Seeing that he could not catch up with Shen Bin in a short time, Fritz had to complain loudly to the referee.

The referee ignored it and continued running in the direction of the ball.

Seeing Shen Bin get the ball, Cordova stepped forward to block Shen Bin's direction. Shen Bin lowered his shoulders and changed direction, passing Cordova.

Cordova subconsciously bumped into Shen Bin with his shoulder, which was a good idea, provided that his lower limbs could provide enough strength.

His leg strength was obviously insufficient, and Shen Bin pushed Corvado away.

Seeing that all teammates were not in an advantageous position, Utrecht's defense was impenetrable.

After passing two people, Shen Bin left the center circle and came to the top of the opponent's penalty area. Findis had been taken away by Howard, and there was only Friedrich in front of him.

With his teammates pulling with all their strength, Shen Bin was actually in the best position. He waved to others to continue running, and then made a probing move towards Friedrich.

Left, right, left, front, left. Shen Bin cannot stab with the silky rhythm like Ronaldo, and his performance is not entertaining enough, but he is threatening. Friedrich, who is not familiar with him, only made a small mistake and was shaken a little by the probing step. Shen Bin broke through with the ball. He was like a mating stallion, tearing open his defense unstoppably and breaking into the penalty area.

Seeing Shen Bin's ugly but very effective performance, Sham Medina, who stayed behind, complained to Fritz for failing to keep an eye on Shen Bin this time, "Aren't you good at marking people? How could you let him break through so easily? Fritz, you know your opponent is just a rookie who has only been in the professional league for one year, right?"

Fritz corrected: "Although he is a rookie, he is the first in the assists list and the third in the Golden Boy Award."

"Is this your excuse for your incompetence?" Sham Medina said and ran forward.

Seeing the head coach with a gloomy face standing on the sidelines and yelling at him, Fritz did have a bad feeling. He didn't want to be given a "etiquette lesson" by the coach after the game.

When he ran towards Shen Bin, Shen Bin was already in a one-on-one situation. Facing the goalkeeper, Shen Bin raised his foot to shoot. The Utrecht goalkeeper hurriedly spread his legs and fell to the ground to expand the defensive area. Shen Bin took the opportunity to poke the ball with his toes, and the ball passed between the goalkeeper's legs and scored.
