Chapter 53 The Footsteps of Victory

Accidentally broke into the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup, which made Volendam unthinkable. It has to be said that Volendam's Dutch Cup this season is very lucky. Apart from Ajax, there is no strong team along the way. After the draw of the next round of opponents, Volendam will play against Heerenveen at home, and Twente will face Breda. The match will be on April 4.

Of the four teams, there is no doubt that Twente is the strongest. Twente currently ranks second in the league standings, holding Ajax down, while Volendam is the weakest. Heerenveen and Breda are currently in the upper reaches of the standings, while Volendam is in the middle and lower reaches.

But now is not the time to consider the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup, because Volendam is about to usher in a new round of league opponents, Vidis, starting the second half of the season, Vidis performed great, compared with Volendam in the first half of the season, and achieved an impressive record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in the past eight rounds.

They escaped the relegation zone from the last place in the standings, and currently have 27 points, only one point less than Volendam. As the most direct opponent, the collision of the two pairs is bound to be a battle between dragons and tigers.

On March 3, just two days after the Holland Cup, Vidis arrived as scheduled. Vidis lineup has hardly changed. Their biggest change came from the sidelines. The original head coach was copied by Vidis because of his poor performance. The current coach of Vidis is Aylward Sturling.

Sturling only played for two teams in his player era, one of which was Vidis. He played for Vidis for seven years and retired from Vidis.

"Friends in the audience, I am your old friend Mu Lun, and I will explain this game for you." Mu Lun's familiar face appeared on the TV.

"Of course, and me" Wim Jonker also appears in the picture.

"In the last round of the first half of the season, Feng used his outstanding performance to help Volendam defeat Vidis. I don't know how this game will be," Jonker said.

"Ha~~~ I remember that Feng's girlfriends were all present last time, but it seems that there is no sign of Feng's girlfriend so far." Mu Lun looked at the stands gossipingly.

"Hey~~~ buddy, be serious, we are professional commentators," Wim Jonker said with a very embarrassed look.

"Ha~~ Wim, don't be prudish, don't you be curious, the second half of the season is already over, and Feng's girlfriend hasn't appeared on the scene yet." Mullen didn't seem to stop gossip, and looked at Wim Jonker as if I knew you very well.

"Okay~~~ Actually, I'm also very curious, but as far as I know, Feng's so-called girlfriend has not appeared in Volendam. Even when the team is on vacation, Feng stays at the training ground and trains alone," Wim Jonker said what he knew.

"Could it be that our Feng has lost love? If so, the girls of Volendam should pay attention, your chance has come." Mullen joked, but what he said was the truth.

"Oh ~ oh ~ oh, players from both sides have played, and Volendam's main striker Jack Dolby has returned from injury.

"Yes, Dolby has scored 11 goals so far and is Volendam's top scorer. Before that, he was sidelined for more than three weeks with a thigh strain," Wim Jonker introduced.

"Currently the difference between the two teams in the standings is only one point. Volendam has 28 points, while Vidis has 27 points. This is destined to be a fierce game." After Mullen finished speaking, the stadium game has begun.

As Mullen said, this game is destined to be extremely fierce. From the very beginning of the game, facing Vidis's attack, Volendam launched an active fight. However, a fierce game may not be exciting, and it is true.

In the first half, the referee showed a total of 5 yellow cards, two for Volendam and three for Vidis, and Li Feng got one of them. This is Li Feng's third yellow card. If he gets another yellow card, he will be suspended for one round.

Relying on the referee's five yellow cards and the remaining power of the two head coaches to calm down the players on the field, the first half was almost over. As a result, neither side had any good chances, and finally the first half ended 0:0.

Back in the locker room, Adelaal sternly scolded him, especially Li Feng, who was named and criticized by Adelaal. As the core of the team and the initiator of the attack, he didn't have a decent organization in the first half, and instead received a yellow card for a foul.

Li Feng also knew that he was impulsive in the first half, but he couldn't help it. It was caused by the environment, but facing Adelaar's livid face, Li Feng bowed his head and admitted his mistake very directly, expressing that he would try his best to contribute to the team in the second half.

In fact, in the second half, Li Feng did provide a wonderful assist for Volendam, and Volendam also relied on Li Feng's assist to defeat Vidis again 1-0.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Volendam attacked, and Li Feng took the ball and broke into Vidis's half. First, he cooperated with Majors to hit the wall, break through Vidis' double-team, and then attracted enough defensive players outside the penalty area.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL, an overhead cross from the wind, Dolby scored his No. 12 league goal, and Volendam took the lead 1:0," Mullen could finally shout.

"Hahaha~~~~ He scored a goal when he came back from injury. Dolby should thank Feng. One-third of his goals came from direct assists from Feng." Wim Jonker looked happily at the Volendam players who were celebrating.

After this goal, Adelaar did not choose to continue to attack, but replaced Dolby with Hofsteiger, preparing to use Hofsteiger's speed to launch a defensive counterattack.

Vidis launched a crazy counterattack, but then Volendam played a beautiful defensive counterattack. It was still Li Feng. Vidis shot was confiscated by Verhoeven, who found Li Feng with a mid-range pass.

But in the end Hofstede failed to score a goal, and Hofstede, who won a single shot, finally missed the decisive attack Vertuitsyn.

Although he didn't score a goal in the end, it also scared Dr. Vidis into a cold sweat. Vidis didn't dare to press all the way. In the end, relying on this goal, Volendam took all three points and resumed the road to victory.
