Football: The immortal legend on the green field

Time has no sympathy for the team members of Hallam Athletic. A linesman from the referee team is already urging the players to enter the field, as there is only a pitiful minute left before the start of the second half.

Based on the players' performance in the first half, Neeskens knew that the situation would be difficult to reverse. He finally found a way to shirk responsibility. "This is a shitty FA Cup. Our lineup is not complete yet. Sen, you should replace that self-righteous guy in the second half."

As for the former captain who dared to contradict him, he would never use him again.

Neeskens went all out. He replaced Howard, who scored an own goal in the first half, with 18-year-old Herbert Butow, and replaced Hanny, who ran around the field like a headless fly in the first half, with veteran player Fansico.

Neeskens is very satisfied with his personnel adjustments. Even if he loses this game, the media will not blame himself too much. Even an idiot can see that with five young players under the age of 5 on the field, it is obvious that Haarlem is using the FA Cup to train new players.

Before entering the competition venue, Gular reminded, "Mr. Neeskens, we don't have a captain on the field yet."

What a failure. I have been driven crazy by that bitch. Neeskens looked back and forth among the players who were about to play. It seemed that the bastards left by the previous coach were not trustworthy. Just like thirty years ago, I still have to cultivate my own confidants.

Didn't I gather a group of like-minded people in the national team to fight against that man named Cruyff? Otherwise, how could I have my current status in Dutch football? Neeskens suddenly remembered the news he had read some time ago. Shen Bin had the experience of arranging formations on the field in the Coca-Cola summer camp, and he also defeated a team two years older than them. Isn't this just right? The captain and the field position are solved at the same time. "Listen to Sen. From now on, before Link realizes his mistake and apologizes to the coaching staff, he is your temporary captain."

Coming to the center circle, the players gathered together.

"How do we play?" Genes, the oldest player on the field, looked at his teammates with a confused look on his face.

Although Shen Bin has only been in the professional team for a short time, he has experienced hardships that others cannot imagine, and has the experience of playing hundreds of games in his dreams. He knows deeply that it is better to rely on oneself than on others. When the opportunity comes, he should naturally take it.

"When defending, Antonin and El Barro move inwards and form three central defenders with Weiss, Herbert Butteau and Gular retreat to form left and right fullbacks, I, Jeans and Vansico form three defensive midfielders, Kuka is the attacking midfielder, and Li Dongguo is the lone striker. The defensive formation is 5311.

Gulal, you and Bhutto are both speed players. In a tug-of-war, your positions can be changed to left and right wingers in advance, and you can become winger during counterattacks. In the first half, I did not leave you with appropriate impact distance, and you did not play your speed advantage at all. In the second half, I left you an entire corridor on the wing for you to gallop. Bhutto, the same goes for you.

The only thing you two should pay attention to is: know how to save your energy. If it is not a good opportunity, give up appropriately. We will fight with them in a battle of attrition.

In positional warfare, Kuka will move to the left or right appropriately, and I will move forward to form a double attacking midfielder with you. When we are in a positional warfare, Kuka, switch positions with me more often to pull their defense line.

When we lose the ball, Li Dongguo and Kucca do not need to return to defense. They should be ready to receive the ball and counterattack at any time in the frontcourt. When we lose the ball in the frontcourt, you two must counterattack on the spot and try to delay the opponent's attack time to buy more time for others to get into position to defend.

Do our part well and we won't lose.

……

Neeskens returned and coached Haarlem SC to defeat Solvay United 3:1, winning the first victory in his coaching history!

This was an inconspicuous little report in the evening paper of World Sports the next day. If you didn't pay attention, you might not even see this news. But despite the small length, the content was very comprehensive.

In the first half, both Neeskens, who took up the coaching baton for the first time, and the newly formed Haarlem SC, were at a loss as to what to do in the professional league, because Haarlem SC had replaced most of its players compared to the previous season. The team had the lowest average age in all Eredivisie and Eredivisie teams, with an average age of only 23.6 years old. There were as many as six young people under 20 years old in the team. The youngest Chinese player, Bin Sen, was actually 17 years and 19 days old. He even broke the record for the youngest appearance age in Eredivisie.

In the first half, Howard scored an own goal and Haarlem fell behind 0:1.

In the second half, Dutch football legend Neeskens was just like when he was a player, fully demonstrating his deep understanding of total attack and defense. Haarlem replaced the young player Herbert Buteau and the Chinese player Bin Sen in the second half, and Bin Sen also served as the captain on the field.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Bin Sen made an accurate long pass, and the fast winger Gular made a cross from the bottom, and the young Korean player scored with a header. This was a wonderful connection between three young players under the age of 20, and Haarlem Athletic equalized the score.

In the 77th minute of the game, Solvay United committed a foul 5 meters outside the penalty area. Haarlem Athletic was awarded a direct free kick. Bin Sen made a Beckham-like arc kick and broke through Solvay United's goal again. Haarlem Athletic overtook the score 2:1.

In injury time, it was again the young captain of the Haarlem Arena who dribbled the ball into the bottom line during the attack and made an inverted triangle pass to assist Gines, who scored the winning goal in one fell swoop.

This game not only fully demonstrated Neeskens' perfect on-the-spot adaptability, but also Chinese player Bin Sen, with one pass and one shot, also instigated Haarlem's first goal to equalize the score.

In this game, Bin Sen not only broke the record for the youngest appearance, but also broke many Eredivisie and Eredivisie records including the youngest captain on the field, the youngest goal scored, the youngest assist, etc.

Whether it is Shen Bin or Neeskens, their debut was perfect, at least on the surface.

It was a perfect debut, and the time had finally come to reap the rewards.

The dust has finally settled on the new contract negotiations between Shen Bin and the club.

There is less than a month left before the transfer window closes. The pressure has been put in place. If the string is stretched too tight, it may break. It is time to face off against Haarlem Athletic, the Wall Street elite who returned from the United States.

Shen Bin and Allen came to the Sound Domain Café in the university town to discuss the specific outline of the contract. "Based on your performance in the first game, I can help you get a minimum weekly salary of 10,000 euros. This is the best result. If the contract is successful, you will be the highest paid in the team, which is the treatment you deserve.

It is not good to set the penalty too high, as it will be disadvantageous to you, but since you have received such a high salary, 3000 million euros is inevitable, and I guess both parties can accept the price.

Other awards such as assist award, Golden Ball award, winning award, promotion award for the team to the first division etc. need to be negotiated one by one.

Do you have any specific requests besides this?"

"The highest paid people on the team right now are Gural and Link, right?"

"Yes, they all have a weekly salary of 7000 euros." Allen is familiar with the team's specific situation.

"I need help, and my first choice is Deng Zhuoxiang who plays for Hanjiang Shuya U17 in China. He is a midfielder and he is one month younger than me.

The second option is Ivorian Tiote. If both can be recruited into the team, I can make concessions on the weekly salary. I can accept 8000 euros per week. "
