Glory Greenery

Chapter 117 Rewards
The reason why it is said that facing Feyenoord is only the beginning of a bitter battle is because after Feyenoord is over, the opponents in the remaining three rounds are more terrifying than Feyenoord.

On April 25th, the No.30 second round of the Eredivisie, Twente will challenge Heerenveen away.

Like Twente, Heerenveen has performed exceptionally well this season. In the past [-] rounds of the league, Heerenveen has still maintained its fourth position in the Eredivisie standings.

Ajax, Twente and Alkmaar are ranked ahead of Heerenveen in the standings, so it can be seen that this game will never be easy.

On May [-], two days after the first leg of the UEFA Cup semi-final, Twente, who is destined to be exhausted, will face the championship contender Alkmaar at home in the penultimate round of the league.

There is no need to describe at all, the importance of this game can be known. This is a game that directly determines the title of the Eredivisie.

And if this game fails to determine the Eredivisie champion, then on May [-], two days after the end of the second leg of the UEFA Cup semi-final, Twente will challenge Ajax away in the last round.

Although in the UEFA Cup, Twente advanced by defeating Ajax, but if there is another game, Twente cannot guarantee that he will win again.

Therefore, the Twente coaching staff agreed that they must win the direct confrontation with Alkmaar and win the league championship in advance, otherwise the final round will not only not guarantee the victory, but also the physical fitness of the players will not be able to bear it.

Because in the last two weeks of the league, Twente will face a consecutive week of double matches, and both lines are a sprint to win the championship that cannot be relaxed.

Such a dense schedule is terrifying just to think about it, and physical fitness will become the biggest problem for all players.

And this point is especially prominent in Yang Mo. To be honest, he has been playing all the way until now, except for being injured and taking a rest, he has been the main force almost every game, and he is already physically and mentally exhausted.

Facing such a harsh schedule, in order to encourage the players, Twente Jopp Montesman announced the championship bonus of this season before the start of the match with Feyenoord, hoping to stimulate the players to win want.

The chairman of Twente, Jopp Montesman, promised the players that if the team can win any championship in the Eredivisie or the UEFA Cup, each of the main players can get a championship bonus of 10 euros, and this is after tax .

And if the team can win the championship on both lines and help Twente win the first double championship in history, the team chairman Joap Montesman said that he will increase everyone's championship bonus to after-tax 20 euros.

Joap Montesman spent a lot of money for the first professional league championship in Twente history, and possibly the first UEFA Cup championship, and the first double crown. The money has exceeded the UEFA Cup and the Netherlands. The sum of A's winning prize money.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a great reward. When Yang Mo heard this number, he immediately felt that physical strength was not a problem, and he gritted his teeth and won the double crown.The bonus alone is higher than his annual salary.

Yang Mo's salary in the team is already considered medium, and he is so excited to see so many bonuses, not to mention those players whose salary is lower than Yang Mo's.

Therefore, under the stimulation of money, the players suddenly became desperate in their training attitude. While the head coach McClaren was pleased, he was also afraid that the players would hurt themselves during training, so he had to stop it.

On April [-]th, Dutch time, the soldiers of Twente, stimulated by money, headed to the away game to challenge Feyenoord with high morale.

Facing the menacing Twente, Feyenoord did not give up, and the game became extremely fierce from the beginning.

In the 3rd minute of the first half, Yang Mo had just received the ball from the left side, and as soon as he turned around, he felt a huge force coming, and he was knocked down on the spot.

When he got up from the grass, he found that it was not someone else who uprooted him. He was officially Feyenoord's captain, Van Bronckhorst, who once expressed his appreciation for him in front of the media.

Although Van Bronckhorst admired Yang Mo very much and wanted him to join Feyenoord, when Yang Mo was his opponent, the veteran was not polite at all.

After rubbing his sore calf, Yang Mo already felt an unusually strong smell of gunpowder. This match has only just begun, which indicates that it will not be easy.

Strange to say, Feyenoord's record has fluctuated this season. When facing veteran Eredivisie giants such as Eindhoven and Ajax, they often lose very simply.

But when Feyenoord met the sudden emergence of teams like Alkmaar and Heerenveen, they played extremely tenaciously, without any signs of depression.

Now facing Twente, Feyenoord is like this again, not only defending fiercely, but also attacking Twente.

In the midfield, although the original midfielder Lanzat was unable to play due to injury, the 21-year-old Bruins played extraordinarily bravely, sending shells one by one to the veteran frontcourt Ma Kai.

The 33-year-old veteran Ma Kai seemed to have returned to his peak in this game, and his performance was extremely brave, which made Twente's defense players miserable.

In this way, the game was in an anxious duel with everyone on their backs. After 45 minutes of fierce fighting, there was no goal, and finally entered the intermission with 0-0.

In the first half alone, the referee showed a total of four yellow cards to the two teams, which shows the intensity of the game.

After the start of the second half, when the game progressed to 69 minutes, Twente defender Douglas had to pull Ma Kai to the penalty area in order to prevent him from breaking into the penalty area.

Facing Douglas' foul, the referee showed a yellow card mercilessly, because Douglas had already received a yellow card in the first half, so two yellow cards turned into one red, and he was sent off directly.

And then, Twente, who was fighting with one less player, was found by Feyenoord's Ma Kai in the 73rd minute. He shot a long shot into the goal and fell behind 1-0.

On the way to the championship, Twente's players could not accept a loss, so even if there was one less player to fight, they still attacked.

In the 709th minute of the game, midfielder Perez passed the ball to Arnotovic on the right. When Arnotovic was approaching the penalty area with the ball, he suddenly passed Nkufo obliquely after attracting the defense of the defender.

After receiving the ball, Nkufo was immediately double-teamed by two Feyenoord players. Seeing that he had no hope of attacking, he prepared to pass the ball to Yang Mo who came from the left.

But at this moment, Feyenoord captain Van Bronckhorst saw that Yang Mo had no one to defend him. If Nkufo passed the ball, Yang Mo would probably score the goal with his ability .

In order to prevent Nkufo from passing the ball, Van Bronckhorst shoveled directly behind Nkufo in the penalty area, and shoveled Nkufo to the ground on the spot.

Such a blatant foul, even at Feyenoord's home court, the referee could not turn a blind eye, directly took out a red card to send off Van Bronckhorst, and awarded Twente a penalty kick.

But at this time, all Twente players were not paying attention to the penalty kick that could equalize the game. They all looked nervously at the captain Nkufo who was carried off by a stretcher.

Finally, thank you little fat man for your reward.
