Football: The immortal legend on the green field

Chapter 76 Two tigers fighting each other

Cruyff exchanged glances with a bearded black man with dreadlocks, and Surinamese player Ruud Gers stepped forward and said, "I want to fight you one-on-one. Do you dare?"

When Neeskens, one of the two privileged players in the team, challenged someone in a one-on-one duel, it attracted the attention of everyone in the team, and they all gathered around.

At first, Neeskens might not have had the idea of ​​teaching Gers a lesson, because he smiled and let Gers attack first.

When Gers stepped on the football with one foot and performed the unique bicycle pedaling trick invented by Neeskens, Neeskens also joked: "Big Luther, do you know the difference between you and me when you do this trick?"

Luther Gers looked at him in confusion.

"When I made that move, Real Madrid offered me $200 million a year."

It was a joke and everyone laughed, especially Neeskens's sidekick winger Eddie Treitel, who almost laughed to tears.

The laughter of the crowd made Gers embarrassed, and then Gers started to perform high school-level juggling in front of Neeskens.

Neeskens stretched out his kick casually, purely as a test, but he didn't expect that Gers believed this deceptive defensive move and thought he had found Neeskens' flaw. He rushed forward at full speed, and the unsuspecting Neeskens was knocked to the ground by Gers from the front.

Gers completely ignored Neeskens on the ground, rushed to the goal line with the ball, and even stepped on the ball on the goal line. He looked back at Neeskens who was also lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and then he easily pushed the ball into the net.

Gers returned to Neeskens and looked down at him. You see, I am the one who desires two women at night, and you are not my opponent. "John, you look weak. How about celebrating the victory today? I will teach you some ways to deal with women."

Gers already had an absolute advantage in height and weight. He used an obvious foul move, intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that if these black guys were not taught a profound lesson, they would climb over their master's head and bite him back.

Neeskens got up from the ground, bloodshot eyes, and he was in a state of uncontrollable rage.

He roared, "If you try to teach me how to do things, I'll beat the shit out of you!"

Unfortunately, this is a white-dominated society. The subsequent series of actions by the Dutch national team turned the national team experience of Gers and others, who had been spoiled, from a fairy tale back to reality. This is as cruel as throwing the fledgling Liu Tianxian into the set of "Evil Angel" to film.

When Gers tried to attack again, Neeskens knocked Gers over with a more obvious foul and gained the offensive ball.

Gers was about to open his mouth to say it was a foul, but there was no referee here, so he looked at Cruyff, the guardian of black players, for help, "You just committed a foul as well."

Although Cruyff stood on the side of Gers and others, he could not confuse right and wrong in front of the whole team.

Neeskens turned on Hannibal mode and showed no mercy to his enemies.

He scored at Gers at will, and every time he scored, he would verbally humiliate the opponent.

The court was littered with insults, some of which would have ruined Neeskens' reputation 20 years later.

Just like NBA Clippers owner Sterling was punished by the NBA and forced to sell the Clippers ownership at a low price because he said the word "nigger" in a private chat with his mistress.

Shen Bin watched Gers' face gradually lose color until the last ball. Neeskens knocked him down with a pendulum pass and easily scored the goal. He then grabbed Gers by the collar and yelled, "From today on, you'd better call me the great Mr. John Neeskens, you arrogant bastard!"

That was the moment when Luther Gers’ confidence collapsed.

In his subsequent career, Gers lost his former spirit, gradually lost his competitiveness on the football field, and began to indulge in alcohol. At the age of 24, which is the golden period for a player, he began to degenerate drastically. When he was 27 years old, no professional team signed him.

Neeskens used him to establish his authority.

Everyone dispersed, only Gers was still sitting there, as if he had just had a nightmare.

Shen Bin looked at Gers with disgust, his eyes dull. This was a profound lesson. Unlike 10 years later, during this period, Dutch football was dominated by local players such as Neeskens. The strong were respected, and this was the rule of the game.

As an outsider, Gers did not know how to judge the situation and contribute diligently to the team. He also took sides in the internal dispute between the two big bosses of the team. His private life was chaotic and he easily fell into the trap set by the Germans, bringing nearly half a century of black-white infighting to Dutch football.

The young Gers was spoiled by Cruyff and easily became a victim of the conflict between the two bosses of the team.

No matter where you are, strength determines everything. Only when you prove your strength will the world revolve around you. This is what Huang Bo said. When you succeed, you will find that there are good people around you.

If you want people to think you are unworthy, all it takes is a simple one-on-one fight.

In addition, a group or a team can only have one voice. As the leader of the Dutch team, Neeskens should have put an end to Cruyff's desire to set up his own faction when Cruyff joined the team. Otherwise, when he becomes powerful, it will be the biggest harm to the entire team and will ruin the future of a team.

This is what Shen Bin learned from this incident. As a darling of God, strength is only part of it, emotional intelligence is more important, and ruthlessness is the most important thing.

Without strong strength, you will have no followers; without emotional intelligence, you will lose popularity; if you are not ruthless, you will breed rebels.

At Haarlem SC, he was spotted by Neeskens based on his strength and potential. He did not need to look at other people's faces to gain status. Others could give it to you or take it away.

You can only rely on yourself for everything.

When everything was settled, Michels, as the arbitrator, appeared in front of all the players in time, took out a piece of printed paper that had been prepared long ago, and announced the team's 18-player roster for the afternoon.

Of course, the four black players who fell into the German trap yesterday are not included in this list.

Everything seemed to be under Michels' control.

In fact, Michels has another list in his pocket, which includes four players who were banned by the team. Among them, the stronger brothers Luther Gers and Luther Kroll will appear on the bench.

The West Germans simply found two young models and easily provoked internal strife among the Dutch, and they had more tricks up their sleeves.

At 9 am, when the Dutch team applied to go to the final venue early, they were rejected by the Germans. The reason they gave was that the venue was closed for the closing ceremony rehearsal...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Dutch team finally got into the Munich National Arena. When Neeskens stepped onto the grass, he knew that the Germans were not only using young models as a trick. The grass in the Munich Arena was very soft. Neeskens stepped down and found that the grass was sprinkled with fine sand and poured with a lot of water.

It is very soft to step on. This soft and wet grass has a great influence on the Dutch team, which is known for its footwork and is very physically demanding. However, it is very beneficial to the traditional power-oriented German team, which is good at long passes and lobs.

Half of the main players of the Netherlands were sleep deprived due to the debauchery of the previous night. Shen Bin finally understood why the Dutch team, which was at its peak in the 74 World Cup, lost the final.

As an outsider, Shen Bin was only experiencing the tense atmosphere of the World Cup final and using Neeskens as a medium to hone his skills and tactics. After Garrincha, he had become calm and would not put his emotions into this indecisive and bad-tempered Dutchman.

No different from history, the Dutch started their performance at the beginning. After sixteen consecutive short passes, the Dutch sent the ball to the feet of the Dutch flying man Cruyff who broke into the small penalty area. The moment Cruyff shot, Shen Bin knew that the Dutch would definitely lose, because his reaction was obviously half a beat slower than usual.

Under normal circumstances, if Cruyff got this kind of opportunity, he would easily put the ball into the net, but it was this delay that gave the German player, who was very close to him, the opportunity to kick the ball to destroy the sure goal.

As it was the final of the tournament, the German defender was extremely nervous. His tackle did not touch the ball, but instead knocked down the Dutch flyer, giving the Netherlands a valuable penalty kick opportunity at the beginning of the game. Neeskens scored the goal in one fell swoop. The German's first touch of the ball in the game was when the goalkeeper took the ball out of the net.

Throughout the game, as a midfield master, Neeskens sent out as many as six threatening passes, but for the Dutch flying man who was already a weakling, these opportunities that could easily score goals in normal times have become a gap that he cannot overcome.
