Chapter 67 Finals Begin

In Volendam's 89-year history, Volendam has only entered the final of the Dutch Cup twice. The first time dates back to half a century ago, in 1958, and the second time dates back to 14 years ago. Both times ended in failure. This will be their third Dutch Cup final.

The Dutch Cup final is held on a neutral stadium, and this year's final venue is more favorable to Volendam. The Amsterdam Stadium is the home of Ajax, and Volendam belongs to Amsterdam, so for Volendam, this is half of the home court.

Maybe the league is over for other teams, but for the Volendam players and fans, they still have the most important game of the season to play. This is the only honor they can pursue, and it is also the highest honor they can get. They have failed twice before, and they don't want to fail again this time.

Li Feng has a deep understanding of this point. Whenever he is on the way between the club and his uncle's house, the fans on the road will shout "Feng~~~We want the championship" when they see Li Feng. This may be the biggest expectation of these fans for Li Feng and the team. Whenever this is the case, Li Feng will seriously and affirmatively answer: "Of course."

And as time passed, the date of the final was getting closer. Li Feng also knew that his days in Volendam were numbered. Maybe he would miss the days in Volendam in the future, because this was the place where his dream started, but he would never miss it, because he knew how broad his future was. He wanted to conquer and stand on the top of Europe.

On May 5, the Amsterdam Stadium, which can accommodate 17 people, was full of seats. Nearly three-quarters of the people in the small town of Volendam poured into the stadium. You must know that there are only more than 50000 people in the town, which means that there are currently 2 Volendam fans.

But even so, there are still fewer fans than Twente. In this game, Twente fans poured in a total of [-] fans. This season is Twente's best performance. The runner-up in the league greatly encouraged the Twente fans.

In the main locker room of the Amsterdam Stadium, Adelaar was doing the final mobilization, "Guys, history will be created by you. Defeating Twente, your name will be forever engraved in the history of Volendam. You have accomplished what no one has done before."

Similarly, in the away dressing room where Twente is located, McLaren is also making the final mobilization. McLaren has the best reputation in this team because he has achieved the best results in the past 30 years.

"Friends, welcome to the last game of the Dutch league this year, the Dutch Cup final, I am your old friend Mullen" In the live broadcast room in Amsterdam, Mullen appeared on the TV again.

"Volendam played against Twente in the final. I have to say that these two teams have performed very well this season, exceeding everyone's expectations. We have reason to expect that the two teams will give us a wonderful game." Jonker is naturally indispensable for Mullen.

In fact, this is also Jonker's last commentary. After commenting on this game, Jonker will no longer be a commentator next season. He will go to Ajax and become the coach of the Ajax youth team.

"Yes, there is another big point to watch in this game, and that is the previous competition for the best young player in the league. Volendam's young midfielder Li Feng defeated the Dutch genius Elia with his outstanding performance and won the Cruyff Award this season." Mullen continued.

"I think Elijah must not be convinced. Maybe the competition for the best young player will continue in this game. After all, both are important players of the team, and they will definitely play in the final," the two said one by one.

"Oh~~~What did I see? Van Gaal and Van Basten appeared in the stands together. How could Van Gaal appear here in Germany at this time?" At this time, the sharp-eyed Mullen saw Van Gaal and Van Basten among the crowd of fans under the camera.

Three days ago, in the early morning of May 5th, the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich officially announced that the famous Dutch coach Louis van Gaal will replace Heynckes as the team's head coach.

"Obviously, Van Gaal didn't come to entertain him. As the head coach of Bayern Munich, he couldn't have appeared here for no reason. The only explanation is that Van Gaal is interested in a certain player. I'm very curious, who will this player be?" Mullen said eloquently.

"Man, let's not discuss gossip. Players from both sides are on the field. We should introduce the lineup of both sides." Seeing the players on the field, Wim Jonker reminded at the right time.

Volendam lineup:
Goalkeeper: Verhoeven
Defenders: Corning, Hield, Helden, Bacons

Midfielder, De Lange, Li Feng, Boots, Majors, Van Sanen
Forward: Dolby

Twente lineup

Goalkeeper: Boschkel

Guards: Stam, Douglas, Rajakovic, Braffhead

Midfielders: Walter, Ismail, Jason

Forwards: Elia, Nkufo, Perez
Volendam has a regular lineup of 451 this season, while Twente has a lineup of 433.

Twente's striker is relatively old. Perez on the left is 35 years old, and Nkufo in the middle is also 33 years old, but this old striker cannot be underestimated. Nkufo is a well-known veteran in the Eredivisie. After he was over 44 years old, his goals began to skyrocket. In the first two seasons, he contributed 22 goals for Twente, exactly 16 in each season. Even this season, he also scored [-] goals.

Together with the young Elia, the trio accounted for half of Twente's total goals. Twente was able to rank runner-up in the league this season, and this striker contributed a lot.

With the whistle of the referee, the Dutch Cup final officially began. Twente kicked off the ball first. Nkufu passed the ball to Elia and then rushed to the hinterland of Volendam.
Jason held the ball and began to invade Volendam's half, followed by Walter. As they prepared to meet Jason, the three midfielders Jason was in charge of organizing the offense, Walter assisted, and Ismail stayed behind the two and was in charge of defense.

Seeing Jason entering the Volendam half, Li Feng rushed up, but Jason didn't fight Li Feng, and passed the ball back to Walt. Seeing this, Li Feng directly passed Jason and rushed towards Walt. The latter saw Li Feng rushing towards him, and passed the football back to Jason again, but at this moment, a tall figure appeared in front of Jason, the veteran Boots.
