Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 73: Dirk's Experience
On the last day of March, at 45:2015 p.m. local time in the Netherlands, the 16-[-] Dutch Cup final kicked off as scheduled.

The final venue is Feyenoord's home stadium, Feyenoord Stadium, which is also one of the two UEFA five-star football stadiums in the Netherlands.In the eyes of Feyenoord fans, this place is like a holy place.

Contests about the ownership of the championship can often mobilize the enthusiasm of fans to the greatest extent.An hour before the start of the game, more than half of the seats in the stadium have been occupied by fans.Most of them are fans belonging to the local fans association in Rotterdam, and there are also a small number of local fans who come to watch the game with their families.

However, when Wen Zhihao entered the field, he saw a small group of fans wearing Waiters' away white jerseys greeted him cordially, waving his own portrait in their hands, with a row of English "New King" on it.

Wen Zhihao fulfilled his fan's request for an autograph, and deliberately made a gesture to show his muscles, and then entered the arena to make final preparations.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the two sides announced the starting list.As predicted by the previous media, Waiters' top scorer Fan Xiaolang injured his ankle, and Fraser hesitated to put him in the starting lineup after repeated hesitation.Zhang Yuning will take on the important task of attacking the city in this game.

Another change is that Waiters' formation changed again.Fraser formed a 4-2-3-1 formation, and Wen Zhihao took the central position among the three attacking midfielders, acting as the team's frontcourt brain.

With this starting list, all the expert media have interpreted that Fraser pinned his greatest hope on the tacit cooperation between the two Chinese players.

Looking at the starting lineup given by Feyenoord, many commentators exclaimed on the spot, and then their eyes sparkled.

Van Bronckhorst was scheming. In order to freeze Wen Zhihao to the greatest extent, he moved the star Dirk Dirk to the midfielder position in front of the central defender to directly face Wen Zhihao.

Dirk was originally a striker. Whether he was in Liverpool or the Dutch national team at his peak, he was an important puzzle for the striker.As he got older, his position retreated all the way.But his efficiency is getting higher and higher.Especially this season when he appeared in the defensive midfielder position, it reflects the all-round attributes of panacea.

Defense is an iron gate, and offense is a sharp weapon.

Carus, Wen Zhihao's number one fan in the commentary team, held two lists, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Although he has been completely conquered by Wen Zhihao's all-round performance, in this kind of championship competition that no one can afford to lose, Wen Zhihao actually has to face the most comprehensive ability and the most experienced Didier Dirk in the entire Eredivisie!

Can he still do it?

Carus was uncertain, but also inexplicably excited.

Think about it, who would have expected that this young man who joined halfway could get such a huge attention in the Eredivisie.It shouldn't be surprising if there are still surprises today, right?

There is a kind of person in the world who is born for miracles.

Perhaps, he is.

……

BJ's time has passed one o'clock in the morning, but countless Networm fans are still lying on their computers waiting for the live broadcast of the final.It is said that before the finals, VPN and other circumvention devices all over the country suddenly sold out.Since domestic websites basically do not have the copyright of the Holland Cup, young fans choose to go over the wall to watch the live broadcast on the Internet.

Although the English commentary sounds a little difficult, as long as you can see the pictures of the two Chinese players, especially Wen Zhihao, everything else doesn't matter.

Before the official start of the game, Waiters was drawn to attack from right to left, and the attack direction happened to face the North Stand with the largest number of opponents. The pressure on the offensive end can be imagined.

But on the other hand, it is also considered good. As long as it can form a balance with the opponent in the first half, the pressure on Waiters will be much reduced in the more critical second half.

The Eredivisie golden whistle Kuipers blew the opening whistle amid much anticipation.

Feyenoord tried the first wave of attack at the beginning with a lineup of [-] spectators at home, but it ended with an anti-aircraft gun.

However, this attack completely ignited the passion of the audience. The most exciting thing for the fans on the court is the fast-paced attack between the two sides.

To say that the most pitiful in this situation are Waiters fans.Although about a thousand expeditionary troops came to the away game to cheer, they still seemed weak in comparison.In the crazy wave of fans of the home team, their voices were like drops of water, and they were quickly integrated into the vast sound waves of the entire stadium without making any waves.

The Waiters players were somewhat affected by many unexpected factors before the game, and they always seemed sloppy on the court. Even Kashiya, who was relatively stable, made a low-level mistake of returning the ball directly to the baseline, and the audience immediately sent booing and laughter.

On the other hand, Feyenoord was obviously more prepared. The midfield line as a whole pressed forward to participate in the on-the-spot counterattack against Waiters. 15 minutes before the opening, Turkish striker Kazim on Feyenoord's front line received two big gifts from Krusvik, but they were rejected by the post and Ruhm respectively.

The scene was full of sighs, and the home team fans in red and white striped shirts couldn't believe that Feyenoord missed such an excellent opportunity twice.

After the three strikes in the opening 15 minutes, Waiters' formation began to extend to Feyenoord's half.According to Fraser's pre-match deployment, Kosuke Ota, who played a guest role as a defensive midfielder, gave the ball to Wen Zhihao's feet immediately.

The boos on the field suddenly became louder by two points, and the fans of the home team used their best methods to interfere with Wen Zhihao's choice.

It is Dirk's job to limit Wen Zhihao's series and interludes.However, he has a strong view on the overall situation of defense. He will not follow Wen Zhihao around the field like a young defender. Instead, he will see the rhythm of Wen Zhihao's feet and the changes in his ankles, and directly intercept the passing line.

Facing a typical single-core team like Waiters, this approach is the most effective.In the first half an hour, most of Wen Zhihao's passes to the striker were intercepted by Dirk Dirk, and the characteristics of the two wingers Nakamba and Laerdan flying together on both wings could not be displayed at all, and Zhang Yuning, who did not receive effective support, could only fall into hand-to-hand combat with the opponent's two central defenders again and again.

Carus watched Wen Zhihao return without success again and again, and he was also a little anxious: "Dirk Dirk is obviously more experienced. Wen must establish a more effective relationship with other players. Waiters and other players must stand up to help Wen share the pressure of the offensive organization."

The offensive organization was not smooth, and Wen Zhihao could only try to make a personal breakthrough to open up the situation.However, Dirk has become a pro at the game for many years, and has experienced finals such as the FA Cup and the World Cup. His experience is not comparable to that of Wen Zhihao.Facing Wen Zhihao's breakthrough, he chose to put a distance in the defense, and shoveled at the first step of Wen Zhihao's dribbling, usually sweeping the ball to the ground.

Kuipers' law enforcement style is relatively gentle, and it is the final competition, so the choice of cards is more cautious. The foul by Kuiter looks fierce but not harmful.

Seeing Wen Zhihao with a dejected expression on his face, Kurit suddenly felt like teaching elementary school students.

Compared with me in the finals experience, you are still too young.

But on the surface, he is still very personable. Every time he trips Wen Zhihao, he stretches out his hand gracefully, and when he gets up, he pats Wen Zhihao on the shoulder, as if appreciating and affirming the younger generation.
