Chapter 354 The Tragic Dutch Team
"Hey? What's the matter? Goodbye boy, is he in a bad state today?"

"Maybe, he just came back from China after all!" Stan replied uncertainly.

Bai Xiaotian has played for more than ten minutes, but the attentive fans found that Bai Xiaotian's performance was quite different from before.

Either the pass is not strong, or the ball cannot be controlled.Even the header that Bai Xiaotian was so proud of didn't earn a single one.

Seeing Bai Xiaotian running exhaustedly in the frontcourt like a ghost, many fans gradually silenced.

In a frontcourt press, Van Galen passed the ball back to Odan. Before Bai Xiaotian ran two meters in front of the opponent, Odan handed the ball to Peter Vick next to him.Bai Xiaotian immediately dropped Odan, but just halfway through the run, Peter Wik handed the ball to Van Galen again.After making a big circle in the frontcourt, Bai Xiaotian rushed towards Van Galen again.Van Galen grinned and passed the ball to Odan again.

The three distanced themselves, relying on passing the ball to each other, they played with Bai Xiaotian in the palm of their hands.Seeing the ball return to Ao Dan's feet again, Bai Xiaotian didn't go up to grab it this time, but stood directly on the spot, bent over to support his knees, panting heavily.

Alkmaar took the opportunity to press forward, crossed Bai Xiaotian, and launched an attack again.

Looking at the lonely Bai Xiaotian in the opponent's half, the fans looked at me and I looked at you, all silent.

It turns out that Bai Xiaotian is not omnipotent, and it turns out that the miraculous goodbye boy also has times of depression.

It has to be said that Eindhoven fans have too high demands on Bai Xiaotian.

Just the day before the Chinese team qualified, the Netherlands and Ireland launched a life-and-death battle for the right to qualify in the second group match of the European World Preliminaries.

Portugal, the Netherlands, Ireland, Estonia, Cyprus, and Andorra are in the same group. After ten rounds of double round-robin matches, the first in the group will qualify for the World Cup, and the second in the group will qualify for the European play-offs.

From the perspective of the cards, the Dutch team with Van der Sar, Reziger, De Boer, Van Bronckhorst, Heitinga, Davis, Van Bommel, Zenden, Kluivert, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Mackay and others deserves to be the favorite to qualify.

But who would have thought that the uncrowned king, the Dutch team, had a record of one draw and one loss in the two rounds against Portugal, and a tie against Ireland.

At this time, the Portuguese group ranked first with 18 points, and Ireland also ranked first with 18 points, but because of the goal difference, they ranked second.The third-ranked Dutch team has only 14 points.

Portugal and Ireland have two games remaining each, while the Netherlands have three.

If the Dutch team loses, even if they win the next two games, they can only get 20 points.If you want to qualify for the play-offs, it depends on whether Portugal agrees or not.

The remaining two opponents of Portugal are notoriously fishy. Even if they draw both games, they will be ranked ahead of the Netherlands in terms of goal difference and win-loss relationship.

Therefore, the battle with Ireland has become a game that determines the life and death of the Dutch team.

It is a pity that after 90 minutes of fierce fighting between the two sides, the uncrowned king lost the chain again in the away game. After a small 0-1 loss to Ireland, the Dutch team almost lost their qualifications.

Sure enough, after the next day's game, Portugal won Cyprus 3-1 away.In this way, with Portugal and Ireland both scoring 21 points, the Dutch team was completely eliminated.

Poor Van Gaal, after losing the World Youth Championship, wanted to save some face in the World Cup.Unexpectedly, what was waiting was the dismissal notice from the Dutch Football Association.After playing the remaining two world preliminaries, Van Gaal has nothing to do with the Dutch national team.A generation of tactical masters has become a laughing stock in the history of the Dutch team because of some conflicts among the players in the locker room.

After the Dutch team lost, some media picked up the previous conversation between Bai Xiaotian and Van Gaal.It wasn't until this time that the Dutch discovered that their beloved star, Goodbye Boy, was not only excellent in playing football, but also unique in choosing coaches.

Just when everyone was optimistic about Van Gaal who had just stepped down from Barcelona, ​​Bai Xiaotian found another way, threatening that he would not even be able to bring the Dutch team out of the World Cup preliminaries.

At that time, both the tabloid media and Van Gaal himself scoffed at Bai Xiaotian's words, thinking it was nothing more than the arrogant words of young people.

But a few months later, Bai Xiaotian led the Chinese team to the World Cup as promised; while the Dutch team packed up their bags early and went home.

This kind of contrast makes it difficult for some people who eat melons to accept, but at the same time they look at Bai Xiaotian, the "Master of Prophecy", with admiration.

Young, good skills, good vision, no airs of a star, plus he is still a boy.Not only male fans love Bai Xiaotian, but even many Dutch female fans have a soft spot for Bai Xiaotian.

They have seen a lot of rich stars. Those who scored a few goals in the small leagues, became proud and complacent after a small achievement, and slept with women all over the street.But this is the first time female fans have seen such an alternative "Oriental breed" like Bai Xiaotian.In addition, after learning that Bai Xiaotian had a girlfriend and was "as good as ever", the female fans went crazy for Bai Xiaotian again.

They weren't worried that Bai Xiaotian was gay, because in their women's private circle, Bai Xiaotian's functional and sexual judgments had long been known to Eindhoven's team doctor.There were even female fans who spent a lot of money to buy Bai Xiaotian's physical examination records, and went back to brag and study them.

In this case, the Dutch team lost its qualification to enter the World Cup.Fanatic fans in the Netherlands can only focus on the club, hoping that the clubs that can participate in the Champions League can achieve better results in the Champions League.Otherwise, Tulip, a big football country, would be too embarrassed at the beginning of the new century!

If any club can enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League, it can be regarded as an exportable achievement for the Netherlands, which has entered the new century.

Among the three teams, Eindhoven, Feyenoord, and Ajax, fans are obviously more optimistic about Eindhoven, which won the Europa League last season.

Although Ruud van Nistelrooy moved to Manchester United, Bai Xiaotian performed extremely well in both the World Youth Championship and the World Preliminaries.This made the PSV fans and the entire Dutch fans have a lot of expectations.

The signboard "Goodbye Boy from China" has become the spiritual pillar of most Dutch fans in a sense.They want to see Bai Xiaotian continue to maintain his previous state in the new season.Goals, keep scoring goals.Until Eindhoven is sent to the knockout round of the Champions League, and then enter the next level.

But now, looking at Bai Xiaotian who was exhausted after just over ten minutes of running on the court, the fans fell silent.

Eindhoven fans are okay, they just feel that their aces are a bit tired, maybe it’s good to take a break; but those foreign fans from other provinces who specially cheered for Eindhoven began to calm down and reflect on whether it is so appropriate to put their hopes for Dutch football on a young man who is not even European.
