The midfield king of football life

Chapter 70 71 The First Dutch Cup
After the sixth round of the Eredivisie, Feyenoord's Dutch Cup schedule is about to begin.Although some clubs are not very optimistic about the cup, the clubs within the scope of energy will still strive for a good result. After all, it is also a championship and an honor.

The Dutch Cup is a knockout football cup named and hosted by the Royal Dutch Football Association. Teams of all levels in the Netherlands can participate. The Eredivisie League teams start to participate in the third round.

Feyenoord's first cup match this year is against Apadorn Football Club from the Dutch second division.Apadorn is a small town in Maastricht, the Netherlands. This town has a long history and is a famous tourist attraction.The Apadon Football Club was born in this small town. The club is not big, and their main stadium can accommodate 2500 people at most.

On September 9, Feyenoord will face Apadorn at home. This is almost a game without any suspense. Apadorn belongs to the middle and lower teams in the Dutch second division.As long as Feyenoord does not release water, winning this game is almost a certainty.

The day before the game, Koeman's head coach confirmed the starting lineup for the cup: the striker is partnered by Secusis and Goodetti, the midfielder is El-Amadi, the midfielder is still Mayovice and Bicevas partner, the midfielder is Bakar, the defense is centered by Vlaar and Indy, and Svetz and Nerome are still separated on both sides.

When Koeman's head coach announced the name of Secusise, all the players were taken aback, because last time Secusise was aggrieved because he had not appeared in the starting list for a long time.

When Coach Koeman read Sekusise, he glanced at the following players, and then explained to all the players: "As for the playing time of any player, I have a data here. Who should play when and who should play in which game. I have my reasons. Please don't question my employing ability in the future. You just need to perform well."

All the players believed that coach Koeman let Sekushise play to ease the relationship in the locker room, and everyone was happy to see this scene.

On the 21st, the first game of the Feyenoord Dutch Cup officially started.Today Li Feng sat on the bench as a substitute, and he was also happy to relax.

The game started after the referee's whistle.

Apadone kicks off first.Their formation today is 541, which is obviously an iron barrel formation. The Dutch Cup is a knockout match, so they can only try to drag the game to a penalty shootout, so that there is still hope of victory. If they really want to attack face to face on the field, their strength must be a lot worse.

So after the kick-off, Apadorn did not rush to attack, but passed patiently in the backcourt, waiting for Feyenoord's players to press forward.

Feyenoord's players definitely don't have that good patience. They want to solve the battle quickly, after all, the strength lies there.

In the frontcourt, Secusis, Goodti and El Amadi desperately pressed the players of Apadone. Such a high-pressure press made the players of Apadone very uncomfortable.

After a period of high-pressure pressing, Apadorn's players did make mistakes in passing.

In the 14th minute, Apadone made a mistake in passing the ball between the midfielders and was intercepted by El Amadi who was pressing forward. After grabbing the ball, El Amadi quickly went forward.

The ball landed accurately on the way Sekusis was advancing. After receiving the ball, Sekusis exploded at an astonishing speed and headed towards the penalty area.

After running to the penalty area, Sekusis quickly kicked up and volleyed vigorously, and the ball hit the net firmly.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

"In the 14th minute, a counterattack from the front court scored the first goal, 1 to 0, and Feyenoord took the lead." The stadium host said lightly.

Feyenoord's goal was expected by everyone, so there are not many surprises.

In the 39th minute, it was El Amadi's steal in the front court again, and then he cooperated with Goodti to make a wall-slamming cooperation. After Goodti broke through Apadone's defense line, he crossed the middle of the penalty area, and then inserted El Amadi.

The score was rewritten to 2-0.
At the end of the first half, the score remained at 2-0. After all, Apadorn is a Dutch second team. The value of the entire team is not as high as that of Fernandez alone. The difference in strength lies there, so the fans are not very surprised by this score.

The second half of the game started quickly.The two sides did not adjust the lineup.

The situation on the field did not change in the second half, and the initiative was still firmly in the hands of Feyenoord.On the bench, Clasi and Li Feng were chatting and laughing. They were discussing the situation of the next round of the Champions League group stage.

In the 51st minute, Bakar, who was inserted in the back row, received a pass from El Amadi, and shot a cold arrow directly outside the penalty area.

"Wow, this is a world wave! A world wave 35 meters away! It's incredible!" The court host finally shouted excitedly.

The score of the game has reached 3 to 0, and it seems that Feyenoord's first cup game will be won by a big score.

After this goal was scored, the next game basically declared garbage time.

Appadone's players had no hope on the field, and the offense looked disorganized and weak.

Under such circumstances, Feyenoord's players did not relax, and continued to attack according to the usual rhythm. Almost all of Apadorn's players returned to their own half.

In the 68th minute, Bacal made a long pass, Goodetti started ahead of time, successfully countered offside, and formed a one-handed situation after receiving the ball.Goodetti calmly pushed the goal from the far corner.

At this time, Feyenoord leads 4-0.

In fact, the game had already been declared over, and there was nothing to watch in the last ten minutes. Players from both sides were on the court, and they had no desire to attack again.

Feyenoord's first Dutch Cup match was won 4-0 by a big score and successfully entered the next round.The next round of competition will not be held until the end of October.So Feyenoord's next task is still in the league.

The next 7th round of the league will be the biggest test for Feyenoord, because they will play away against Alkmaar, and Alkmaar has risen to second in the league after the 6th round, which shows that they have the strength to compete for the championship this season.

Next, Coach Koeman put all the players into training to prepare for Alkmaar.
