Chapter 405 Earning a Right to Qualify
Eindhoven was upset and beat the Red Devils Manchester United 4-0. After the news came, the football world of various countries was really shocked.

Fans from all over the world still know what PSV is.

Although he has won the Champions League, although he is king in the Eredivisie.But in the past few years, it has been the foil of the Champions League group stage, and it is inevitable to be underestimated.

Now Manchester United is bloodbathed at home and avenged the first round.This kind of performance has to make the fans focus on the players.

The high-level is still the same high-level, and the coach is still the same coach.Unlike last year, Eindhoven's main framework has undergone tremendous changes.Therefore, being able to play such a result is inseparable from the relationship with the players.

This young Eindhoven team is full of youthful blood. The media and fans have contributed their guesses to where they can go in this Champions League journey.

But no matter how you guess, it can't change the fact that Eindhoven has no solution in the Eredivisie.

Taking advantage of the victory over Manchester United, Eindhoven returned to the Eredivisie and still killed the Quartet.

On March 3, Eindhoven swept Heerenveen 2-4 at home.After Kevin Hovland scored a header, Bai Xiaotian scored twice.Although the opponent scored a goal in the second half, Huntelaar, who replaced him, was the icing on the cake.

On March 3th, Roda JC had to swallow the same result as Heerenveen even if he was reluctant.In this game, although Bai Xiaotian only scored one goal, he scored two assists.Kezman, Robben and De Rossi scored respectively.

On March 3, when the fans were focusing on the battle between Manchester United and Bayern, Eindhoven almost capsized in the away game.

In the first half, Eindhoven's offensive was fierce. Facing their rivals in the Portuguese Super League, they felt like they were kicking the Eredivisie.

Before 45 minutes, Eindhoven scored a goal each from Bai Xiaotian and Arjen Robben, leading 2-0.

Maybe it's the sense of superiority brought about by frequent goals, or maybe it's the carry caused by leading the score.

Near the end of the game, the Portuguese Super League team, which was at the bottom of Group A and was called a soft persimmon by the fans, suddenly exerted its strength.

In the 82nd and 85th minutes, he kicked overhead and scored 2 goals in a row to tie the score.

In 3 minutes, people went down two cities in a row, and both the players on the field and the bench were a little confused.When Eindhoven intends to regroup and make another victory, the game time is up.

After the game, the Eindhoven players pinched their waists, their faces full of incomprehension and regret.Kevin Hovland knelt on the turf, clasped his hands in prayer.

The tense and restless atmosphere didn't last long. After more than a minute, the result of the game on the other side came out.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Bayern and Manchester United drew again 0-0.Hearing this news, all the Eindhoven team members broke out in a cold sweat.Many team members drew the cross on their chests, thanking God for his blessing.

Thankfully, the initiative is still in my own hands!

After five rounds of UEFA Champions League Group A, Bayern ranked first with two wins, three draws and nine points, Manchester United ranked second with two wins, two draws and one loss with eight points, Eindhoven followed with two wins, one draw and two losses with seven points, Boars has long lost the possibility of qualifying, two draws and three losses are only two points at the bottom.

The qualifying situation of Group A became complicated, and no one could know which two teams would qualify until the results of the last game came out.

Manchester United has a great chance of winning because of the last game against Boavis, who was at the bottom of the group.If Manchester United wins, the other right to qualify in Group A can only be produced between PSV Eindhoven and Bayern Munich.

If Boavis continues his luck in the last game and wins Manchester United in an upset, then Eindhoven and Bayern will be able to eliminate the Red Devils by virtue of the goal difference and join forces with Bayern to qualify.

In other words, as long as Manchester United does not lose, Eindhoven must win to qualify.

Although it is difficult, the initiative is still in your own hands.Then again, as long as Eindhoven wins, they are 100% qualified.

For a while, Eindhoven was actively mobilized from top to bottom, and qualifying for the Champions League group stage became the top priority of the team.

On March 3, Eindhoven's slaughter of the Eredivisie was finally terminated.

In the away game against West, not long after the opening, Kezhiman was brought down by the opponent's defender.

Such a bad foul not only made the opponent red, but also caused Kezhiman to retreat.

Gretz looked at the bench and then at the time, but he still held back and didn't send Bai Xiaotian on the field.

This game was originally based on the principle of protecting the main players, and Gretz sent a half main lineup.Seeing Kezhiman's almost deformed right leg, Gretz was terrified.

If this leg belonged to Bai Xiaotian, then Eindhoven would not even think about winning Bayern, let alone qualifying for the Champions League.

So at this time, I have to be calm and calm. If the opponent has one less player on the field, even if I don't send Bai Xiaotian to play, I can still win.

In this way, Bai Xiaotian sat on the bench for more than 70 minutes.Until Gretz used the last substitution, the fans did not see Bai Xiaotian play.

After seeing Gretz dispatch the last substitute, the visiting team fans were relieved.

Eindhoven has reached the top position in the Eredivisie at this time, and Bai Xiaotian has also maintained the top scorer list for several games.

At this time, if Bai Xiaotian was injured because of an insignificant Eredivisie match, it would be terrible news for the fans.As for whether this game can be won, it doesn't make much sense.

In the end, although the opponent had 10 people to fight, the Eindhoven players were like frightened birds and did not put any pressure on West.In the end, PSV Eindhoven shook hands with their opponents with a score of 0-0.

At the post-match press conference, Gretz said something that all PSV fans agree with very much: "Everything must make way for the Champions League."

With the final group stage game approaching, PSV started closed practice to ensure that the players would not be distracted by other disturbances.

But among the many training players on the field, only Bai Xiaotian was an exception.Because, because his family members are also at the stadium.

When Eindhoven practiced, Mushroom Head not only sat in the stands in a daze, but also went off the court to play and train with the players.The players didn't have any extra thoughts about this, but envied Bai Xiaotian for finding such a football lover as his girlfriend.

And the coaching staff didn't say much, after all, since Bai Xiaotian came to Eindhoven, he has always been the most dedicated player on the court.

The current Bai Xiaotian, from the perspective of internal status and tactical planning, can already participate in the decision-making level of the coaching staff.After all, many of Eindhoven's games revolve around him, and Bai Xiaotian naturally has his own right to speak.

Looking at the young players practicing on the field, Gretz came to the sideline with his shoulders in his arms, and asked softly, "Bai, Kezhiman may be reimbursed this season."

"Oh? It hurt so badly?" Bai Xiaotian asked in surprise, putting down the mineral water in his hand. "The last time I went to see his doctor, didn't he say there was nothing serious?"

"That's right, that's what he said." Gretz spread his hands, "But Kezhiman was also there at the time."

"Okay, then I understand, it's really a pity." Bai Xiaotian sighed, "Oh, it's still at such a critical juncture."

"Who says it's not!" After Gretz sighed, the two fell into silence.

After a while, Gretz opened up the conversation again. "Bai, what do you think of this young man Huntelaar?"

"Hunterel?" Bai Xiaotian was puzzled for a moment, and then he understood the intention of the coach's question, "Hunterel is not bad, although his body has not yet grown up, but with his current ability, he is indeed qualified to be the pillar of Eindhoven."

"How about I send him to replace Kezhiman in the next game?"

"Him?" Bai Xiaotian pondered for a moment, but still shook his head. "Coach, I think his style is far from Kezhiman's."

"Then what do you mean?" To choose a partner for Bai Xiaotian, Gretz must of course consult the person concerned.

"What do you think of that?"

Bai Xiaotian stretched out his hand and pointed to a thin young player on the field who was practicing shooting a little bit.

Seeing this person, Gretz was obviously a little dazed, and remembered his name after a while, "Van Persie?"

"That's right, if you want to earn the right to qualify, his role is irreplaceable."
