Football irons are burning

Chapter 119 Eindhoven
After arriving in Eindhoven, Li Tie had a deeper concept of the Tulip Kingdom.

Although the flowering period has been missed now, there are tulips everywhere, and the city is very beautifully decorated.

On the street, you can see blond Dutch girls everywhere, they are so tall.

There are quite a lot of bachelors in Kaiserslautern's youth army, so during the rest time, these animals will naturally go out to tease girls, and Magath did not deliberately take care of these things. The concept of foreigners is different from that of Chinese.

Under normal circumstances, Chinese coaches are definitely not allowed to do this, but foreigners are different.

Li Tie didn't fool around with them, after all he has a girlfriend, even if he misses women physically, he's quite traditional and doesn't want to betray his girlfriend.

On October 10, the UEFA Champions League group match kicked off.

In the pre-match press conference, Magath expressed his respect for PSV coach Bobby Robson.

The 65-year-old coach was ordered to take charge of Eindhoven this season.

And Robson also admires Kaiserslautern a lot, and he is full of praise for Li Tie. He believes that if he is given a Li Tie, he is confident to lead PSV to win the Champions League.

This kind of praise made Li Tie stand up immediately, first bowed to Robson, then shook hands with him and said: "Your old praise, the younger generation will remember it in my heart, I wish you good health forever."

The two teams also have a relationship. Kaiserslautern introduced Stam from Eindhoven. In addition, they also snatched Van Nistelrooy from Eindhoven. Eindhoven had no choice but to introduce a Korean player, Choi Yongsu.

According to the agreement between the two teams, Stam will not be able to play in Eindhoven, which was agreed when Stam moved to Kaiserslautern.

When the match day comes, the two sides come out of the player tunnel and start the match.

Kaiserslautern's lineup is similar to that of the previous game against Wolfsburg, except that Drogba returned from injury and replaced Toni.

On Eindhoven's side, Cui Yongzhu actually started the game. It seems that Robson is quite optimistic about him.

Cui Yongzhu also kept looking at Li Tie, obviously, he had the idea of ​​competing.

Li Tie didn't pay much attention to him. Although the Chinese team has always been inferior to the Korean team in the past, but now the Chinese team is the top 8 in the world, and the Korean team has never made it out of the group. What kind of opponent is it?Can I compete with Cui Yongzhu on the surface?
"Damn it, it's no wonder that I have been frequently interviewed by Korean reporters these past two days, so I thought it was a Chinese reporter." Li Tie thought a little unhappy.

After the game started, the home team kicked off first.

After a few passes, the ball was handed over to Nilis, and Li Tie immediately followed it.

Nilis' feet swayed, but Li Tie was unmoved, and Nilis forced a breakthrough. Li Tie directly poked the ball with his foot, and the ball was thrown away.

Many forwards wanted to try Li Tie's interception ability, so many people also fell in front of Li Tie.

After the ball rolled out, Deco and Van Bommel went to kill at the same time, but Deco took a step faster, grabbed the ball and stabbed it, Van Bommel directly hugged and threw Deco to the ground.

Eindhoven is also very young. After selling many main players, Robson can only let young people play, but the financial situation of the team is extremely good.

This is a characteristic of Dutch football. Cultivating stars and selling them is an important way for them to make money.

Before becoming famous, many stars will choose to start in the Eredivisie.

These young people play very tough, even if their skills are not as good as yours, but they will never give up half a step in the confrontation match.

Van Bommel is a good player, but now he is still a cynical player, and his ability to execute tactics is also very strong. He plays as a midfielder and fouls a lot.

Deco took a free kick, Drogba headed the goal, the ball was a bit ridiculous.

Looking back, Eindhoven also launched a long pass attack. Cui Yongzhu flicked the header, Nilis volleyed, and the ball was able to knock down the plane in the sky, which was less powerful than a missile.

This Xiao Cui is really good. It is better to grab points, but he should play for Nelis more, right?
After a few minutes of adaptation, the two sides began to fully enter the state.

But Kaiserslautern is in better shape.

In the 9th minute, Li Tie's scissor-foot defense scared Nilis into flying, and the ball was easily taken by Li Tie.

He got up and threw a long pass.

Drogba jumped up in front to stop the ball, protected the ball, Deco put on and advanced, and Drogba immediately knocked the ball to Deco.

After Deco broke through, he knocked horizontally again. Drogba volleyed from the front of the penalty area. The ball hit the net like a shell, 0:1!

Drogba yelled and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. The cooperation of the two was not bad, and Drogba's shot was also well grasped. The opponent's goalkeeper was powerless to prevent the ball from entering the goal.

"African Andy Lau, this foot is not bad."

Li Tie went over and kicked Drogba's ass, and said with a smile.

Drogba said aggrievedly: "Captain, you are a bit too much. How come I was fooled by the goal? Then you must have been fooled by the goal. Our skills are similar."

"Haha, your mouth has become more eloquent now, okay, you're not fooled, and I'll add another one later." Li Tie patted Drogba on the head again, and ran back with a smile.

After the re-kick-off, Eindhoven fully pressed up.

Nilis is indeed very flexible, but Li Tie is also very tight with him.

At this time, an accident happened.

Being entangled by Li Tie was so sad that Nilis couldn't help punching Li Tie suddenly.

Li Tie fell to the ground immediately. Although it was not painful, he would never miss this kind of moment.

The referee ran to the sidelines, and after consulting the linesman, he showed Nelis a red card.

This Nilis can be regarded as a court villain, right?
Moreover, this man has a very weird personality. It is said that he could not understand the coaching of the Belgian national team coach, and he once refused to be called into the national team.

Now it seems that it is inevitable for him to play like this.

On the sidelines, Robson shook his head a little angrily when he saw this scene. Now his team is one goal behind and there is still one player missing. Although it is a home game, how can they beat the opponent?

Kaiserslautern is not a weak chicken, this is a strong team in the Bundesliga, and Eindhoven is not easy to handle.

This is hard enough for Robson. It is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. Now there is a hole in the pot, which is hard to mend.

The game continued, with one less player, Eindhoven still insisted on fighting actively.

But without Nilis in the frontcourt, the offense was basically misfired.

At Xiao Cui's level, it is really difficult for him to threaten Kaiserslautern's goal.

The leading Kaiserslautern is not in a hurry, just play slowly. Deco's offensive organization is a bit like Ballack, and he likes this slow rhythm.

But this is actually full of confusion, there is speed in slowness, and this kind of speed is even more fatal.

In the 29th minute, Deco suddenly sent an overhead ball from the frontcourt. Drogba succeeded in counter-attacking. He pushed to the other side. Di Natale stepped forward and shot, 0:2!

This score made Eindhoven feel a bit difficult to play. There is one less player, and the strength is not as good as the opponent. Even if they have a bit of an advantage at home, they still can't use their methods against a talented youth team like Kaiserslautern.

Since then, Robson has frequently changed players. Although there is one player missing, they are still behind and must attack.

However, the ability of the replaced offensive players still needs to be improved. After disrupting the formation, it gave Kaiserslautern more offensive opportunities.

Drogba and Di Natale wasted a lot of opportunities in front, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the team leads, and they have capital to waste opportunities.

These two idiots, just wait to be criticized by Magath after the game.

On the contrary, Eindhoven's offense has never been able to knock on the door guarded by Bout.

Li Tie continued to carry forward the characteristics of active running, fierce steals, and wide interception coverage, casting a steel line of defense for his teammates.

The halftime score was 0:2.
In the second half of the game, the two sides were still not much different from the first half. Eindhoven mainly attacked, but they were unable to tear open Kaiserslautern's defense. They had no choice but to rely on a large number of long passes to attack.

Fishing in troubled waters like this, you can't catch any big fish.

Magath is also very smart. He quickly replaced Drogba with Makelele and increased the number of defenders in the midfield. In this way, the opponent has no chance at all.

This also led to the following games, not many bright spots.

In the end, Kaiserslautern defeated Eindhoven by two goals in an away game. The Champions League group won three consecutive victories, and one foot has entered the top 8.
