Chapter 137 Unexpected Substitution

Five minutes later, Feyenoord made a substitution. They didn't show any performance in the first 5 minutes. Russian striker Nikov, who used invisibility on himself, went off, and Argentine striker Cruz played.

The 24-year-old Cruz started his football career with the Banfield club in Argentina. After playing for Banfield for three seasons, he joined the River Plate club.Then he was spotted by the Feyenoord club in the Netherlands and came to Feyenoord last season.

Last season, Kroos scored 14 goals for the team when he came off the bench most of the time. It was the only bright spot for Feyenoord, who had nothing last season and didn't even get a Champions League seat.

But Kroos has a weird thing. The starters often have no achievements, while the substitutes often score goals. Even though Benhak attaches great importance to him, he has to be placed on the bench.

Cruz's appearance brought new changes and vitality to Feyenoord's frontcourt. The Argentine has strong ball control ability, can pass, shoot and make the ball. He is good at grabbing points in front of goal. The disadvantage is that he is slow, but in In the case of Alkmaar's recovery, the disadvantage of lack of speed has been reduced, but the advantages of being able to play the ball have been revealed.

The Ivorian Karou on the front line is also good, but he is an opportunistic forward, not the kind of powerful center who can get the ball in the penalty area. His characteristics are similar to those of Thomason. The reason Huck didn't stick around to snatch Thomason with Alkmaar.

The Russian Nikov could not help Carew. Carew was alone and lacked threatening shots. After Cruz came on the field, he attracted a lot of firepower from Alkmaar. Carew became active. He once inserted in front of the goal to outflank It's a pity that the left foot volley shot the ball high, and Silva struggled to save it after receiving Cruise's header and ferrying the goal.

Seeing this, Jiang Mu knew that he had to deal with it immediately. It would definitely not work to let the opponent continue to fight like this. He first let Van Bommel warm up, and then came to the sidelines and told Altidore to push the formation forward and let Feyenoord People stay away from restricted areas.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Jiang Mu. Feyenoord full-back Van Gobert passed Engel with a ball from the wing. After taking a few steps, Suleiman, who was stuck in his position, Afraid of Van Gobert's speed, he didn't dare to move forward, but was passed by Van Gobert through the crotch at the edge of the penalty area.

Van Gobert went down to the bottom at high speed and made a cross near the baseline. There was chaos in the penalty area. Martens, Gattuso, Cruz, and Carew competed for the header together.

Goalkeeper Silva saw that the ball was very close to the goal and quickly attacked to get the ball, but when he got the ball, he collided with the players competing for the header.

Silva hit Cruz in the face with his fist, but his head was hit by Gattuso and Carew. When he fell, both Cruz and Gattuso hit Silva heavily.

Cruise was bleeding, Silva fell to the ground, only Gattuso and Carew were dizzy, but nothing serious.

The team doctor rushed to the field and carried Cruise and Silva to the sidelines on a stretcher.

After simple treatment, Cruise only had a nose bleed, and there was nothing wrong with it, but Silva was hit with a concussion and was unable to continue the game.

"**!"

Jiang Mu looked at Silva lying on the stretcher with blank eyes, feeling very tight in his chest. He originally wanted to replace Van Bommel, but now he can only replace Cesar. In the first half, two players cannot be replaced. That is simply too sensational up.

Cesar was already squinting his eyes and was about to fall asleep. As a goalkeeper, the substitute is equal to the audience. Basically, he will not have the chance to play, especially the strong dialogue. He can't even get a minute.

It was only when Silva was injured and carried out on a stretcher that Cesar became excited, wondering if he would have a chance to play?Although he felt that his idea was too dirty, who wouldn't think so at this time?

"Julio, it's your turn to play, do your best, such a big scene is up to you."

Jiang Mu patted the 19-year-old Cesar. It's not that Cesar has never started in the league before, but Alkmaar is very strong, and the opponents have very few chances to shoot. He basically doesn't have many opportunities to perform. Under such circumstances, Jiang Mu still sent the experienced Silva to play, and Cesar was still too young and needed training.

Cesar's excited brain froze for a moment. The opportunity finally came. Such a powerful dialogue that may determine the trend of the league attracted not only the attention of the Netherlands, but also the media from other European countries. There were many players from France, Germany, Italy, A reporter for national TV in Belgium and so on, if he does well, maybe this is his chance to make a name for himself.

Cesar went up without having time to do any preparatory activities, but Van Bommel, who had been preparing for a long time, could only return to the bench and sit down angrily, continuing to wait for the opportunity.

The Feyenoord people saw that Alkmaar's main goalkeeper went down and replaced it with a 19-year-old kid. The fluff on his lips has not yet fallen off. A lot of long-range shots have been added, hoping to cause mistakes by Cesar, the substitute goalkeeper, through a large number of shots.

Cruz's appearance changed the situation of the game. His height and ability to grab points made it possible for Van Gobert and Van Watson to break through and cross from the wing, and Carew's erratic running positions also made Al Kemar's defense is even more difficult.

Of course, the most important thing is that the defense and goalkeeper Cesar can't cooperate, which is far worse than Silva's tacit understanding.

Alkmaar's defense line was in Holland [-] except for Kronkamp. Now Kronkamp is not playing, it is all Holland [-] defense, but don't underestimate this Dutch [-] defense, they are with Silva They have played for many years and have a good understanding. Under Jiang Mu's training, this defense line is already enough to compete with the defenders of any Eredivisie team. If there are three defensive midfielders in front, I am afraid that the top European teams I dare not say that it is easy to break through their defenses.

But now the goalkeeper has changed to Cesar. The defender and the goalkeeper have not only lost their tacit understanding, but also have difficulty trusting each other. It often happens that the goalkeeper hits his own players, and the defender gets stuck or protects the ball. The goalkeeper comes out Take the ball, but the goalkeeper does not move.

In the case of the opponent's full-court pressing, the mismatch between goalkeeper and defender becomes dangerous.

In the 40th minute of the game, Feyenoord, who had the upper hand, made continuous passes from the side, and finally the winger Van Vossen hoisted the ball to the penalty area. Kroos flew to grab the point, and goalkeeper Cesar judged Correct, quick strikes to get the ball out.Then when the opportunistic striker Carew, who was keeping up with him, hit the goal first under the interference of Martens, the Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar, who had lost his center of gravity, still stubbornly blocked the ball with his legs.

Two minutes later, the home team Feyenoord made a comeback, still brewing an offensive on the wing.The test of Cesar is Feyenoord's striker Kroos.In the absence of defense, Kroos used a difficult volley to threaten Alkmaar's goal.Cruz's offense was excellent, but Cesar's defense was even better. His center of gravity was not deceived by No.2, but he blocked his shot firmly with his body.Then Tininho's fake fax shot from the penalty area line did not fool Cesar, who performed well. His shot was easily blocked by Cesar from the bottom line.

"Ah! This new young goalkeeper is doing great! Is he really only 19 years old? It's unbelievable, his talent is so much better than Silva! His name is Cesar! We should remember this name, this young man is going to be a good goalkeeper..."

The on-site commentator Israel shouted in surprise, full of praise for Cesar's talent.

Jiang Mu couldn't help nodding his head while watching from the sidelines. After the opponent adjusted and gained the upper hand, his own side was a little bit unable to stand up, but Cesar's performance made the opponent's many attacks come back in vain, one of which was , Jiang Mu thought that even Silva would not be able to escape.

However, Cesar, who had just played well, was very unstable. In the 45th minute of the game, Feyenoord's defender Van Gober pretended to go down from the wing, but suddenly passed the ball from the corner of the penalty area.

At this time, it has entered the stoppage time period. The goalkeeper Cesar and the defender were negligent for a very short time, but it was such a coincidence that the ball was passed into the penalty area by Van Gober, and Kroos attracted the defense of two central defenders. But Karoo, who was not far from Cruise, stood upright.He jumped up and made a sharp header to attack the goal. The ball was headed to the far end with great power. Although Cesar made a pounce, he did not hug it in a hurry, and the ball rolled slowly along the front of the goal. The players in the penalty area all went to grab the ball, but Van Watson arrived, and he easily made a follow-up shot.Rewrite the score as a one-to-one tie.

In the stands, it was like a hurricane blowing across the sea and rolling up stormy waves. More than 4 fans jumped up excitedly at the same time, and the stands suddenly seemed to be three feet higher.The sound of applause, shouting and jumping was mixed together, making the scene buzzing, and no one could hear what the people around them were saying.

"Oal... Van Watson scored! Van Watson!" The commentator Israel finally waited for this opportunity for him to vent. He stood up abruptly, shouting at the top of his lungs, as if he had exhausted all his strength It came out: "...His performance today was so wonderful, it was his and Van Gobert's performance that disrupted the opponent's defense! God! This offense is very compact, and there is no chance for the opponent to react..."

After scoring the goal, Van Watson was overjoyed. He saw the sign of a cross from Van Gober's side, and he immediately cruised into the penalty area. He was supposed to hit a shot, but he didn't expect to score a goal. He was excited He rushed to the sidelines and hugged his mentor Benhak tightly.

The gamble finally paid off, Van Watson equalized the score at the last moment of the first half, otherwise this adjustment would have become a joke.Benhak hugged Van Vossen tightly, repeatedly calling for luck.

Thousands of Alkmaar fans are in a corner, as if they were forgotten, they sat there quietly, shaking their heads, conceding the ball at the last moment, it is really inappropriate, why can't they concentrate for 1 minute attention.

Jiang Mu had just finished praising Cesar with the goalkeeper coach Miles and asked him to train the young man well in the future. As a result, Cesar made a fatal mistake and let the opponent score a goal. The good situation was lost , The second half will be redeployed again, the young people are unstable!Jiang Mu shook his head dejectedly, like seeing a fly in the middle of a big meal.
