Football: The immortal legend on the green field

The 58-year-old Neeskens wore the No. 38 jersey of Haarlem Dynamo and stood on the court, looking completely natural.

But his subsequent performance disappointed the fans. First, he received a pass from his teammate and tried to kick the ball with the instep of his foot. However, he did not control the strength well, causing the ball to stop too far from his body and was intercepted by Eindhoven. Then, in the fifth minute of the game, he made an ordinary pass and passed the ball directly to the opponent's forward.

In the 20 minutes he was on the court, he touched the ball 5 times and made 4 mistakes.

During one of the fast breaks, he sent the ball directly into the stands, allowing Gular to run forward with all his might, which caused laughter from all 5 fans at Philips Stadium.

“It turns out that my free and easy performance in training is different from that in competitions!” For the first time, Neeskens felt old.

In Shen Bin's opinion, the two sides seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding during these 20 minutes. Haarlem Athletic had a problem with strength and could not attack, while PSV Eindhoven seemed to be holding back and not using their full strength.

This is indeed the fact. Who can not give a little face to this woman of the Dutch Royal Family!

After twenty minutes, PSV Eindhoven clearly began to increase the intensity on Haarlem.

In the 26th minute of the game, Cameroon international Jose received a pass from Van Bommel, pretended to pass the ball, and made Wes Rafael slip awkwardly. Then, he suddenly accelerated, made an abrupt stop at the edge of the penalty area, and shot. His movements were abnormally smooth, and it was hard to tell that this was a player who had just returned from injury.

Fortunately, the goalkeeper of Haarlem Athletic was highly focused and tried hard to block the ball, but the ball fell just two meters in front of Eindhoven center forward Gist.

Gist and Berna Canu were competing for the ball. Gist threw his entire body out and shoveled the ball into the goal before Berna.

1:0 PSV Eindhoven broke the deadlock first.

When the people of Eindhoven discovered that Neeskens was not the national hero they remembered as he manipulated his opponents like toys in the classic review programs on TV, they could not help but turn their backs on the rusty god.

"Retire now, Mr. John, this is not the man I remember! Because you were on the field, we didn't have the chance to give our full strength, is this still a game? Are you here to perform a farce?" PSV Eindhoven taunted left-back Dihgov who was standing next to Neeskens.

The original plan was to replace Neeskens after he had been on the field for 20 minutes, but Martins clearly violated the previous agreement and deliberately kept Neeskens for a few minutes longer, obviously wanting to embarrass him.

The reason for this is that no one takes this game seriously. The two teams are obviously not at the same level, and losing is normal. So it doesn't matter when to make a substitution. Seeing that they were already 0:1 behind and Neeskens had made enough embarrassments, Martins made the first personnel adjustment in the 28th minute of the game.

"Shen Bin!" Martins shouted, "Replace John."

Shen Bin asked, "Where's Howard?"

Martins looked at Shen Bin with dissatisfaction, "Do you really think that I support you behind your back because you have already taken control of the team? I am just using you to get to the top. Do you still want to teach me how to arrange the rotation?"

"Harward and I have a good chemistry, and Stick can't stand the center position! This will create greater difficulties for our offense." Shen Bin said.

Martins said seriously: "This is not something you should worry about."

Shen Bin is not helping Howard out of friendship. Even if it is for the long-term interests of Haarlem Athletic, having a strong striker standing in the frontcourt can better play the advantages of agile forwards such as Shen Bin, Deng Zhuoxiang and Gular.

Anyone who underestimates this center forward who scored so many goals two seasons ago, Shen Bin is really brave enough to pass the ball!

For Howard, a forward who eats cakes and eats cakes, if he can spit out the meat fed into his mouth, then he really should be demoted to the amateur team.

There are already enough team training samples to prove that Howard is most effective when accompanying the three youngsters in the frontcourt.

But Martins refused.

It doesn't make any sense. Howard's situation is different from Shen Bin's. Although he has lost his status as the team's best shooter, he has no conflicts with the coaching staff, unlike Yu Fei who has a clear-cut conflict with Neeskens.

After two games, Shen Bin started to become famous in the Netherlands and even in the whole of Europe. With Shen Bin's outstanding performance, Neeskens' name as the Bole also resounded throughout the European continent. So sometimes Neeskens couldn't do anything to Shen Bin, and he was also roasted by the media! Neeskens hated the media even more.

Shen Bin spread his hands towards Howard, indicating that he had tried his best and that this coach was too incredible, so he should handle it on his own.

Howard then started cursing Martins' mother using the European and American countries that begin with F.

When Shen Bin came to the sidelines and handed over to Neeskens, our Mr. John said jokingly: "If you make a mistake, I will officially announce the news of your high testosterone level and let the bitches here hang around your house every day."

To this day, Neeskens still intends to win over Shen Bin.

Perhaps because he had been ravaged for 30 minutes, or perhaps to alleviate his own poor performance, Neeskens joked with Shen Bin for the first time.

But Shen Bin didn't think it was funny. He knew this guy's character too well. He would forget the previous embarrassment after a while and would quickly return to being the arrogant, stubborn and extreme Mr. John.

Shen Bin didn't want to compromise with Neeskens. If Neeskens was 30 years younger, it would be fine for him to be the boss. You are already years old, and you still stick to the old-fashioned all-attack and all-defense. How can you be the boss? I am the chosen one, don't you have any face?

"Whatever you want, I'm fine with it."

After that, Shen Bin didn't even need to look at Neeskens. He waved and ran to the defensive midfielder position, and said to the players who gathered around him: "The same rules, play according to our usual training style. I will control the whole rhythm."

Weiss said unhappily: "You have to know that our opponent is PSV Eindhoven, and we are still thinking of attacking?"

"Oh, will the PSV players choke me?" Shen Bin asked.

"Not really. The referee doesn't care whether they are international players or not."

"That's it. If you have lost your courage as a man, then go to the sidelines as soon as possible and tell Mr. John to ask to be replaced." Shen Bin lectured Weiss impatiently.

"Anyone else have questions?"

Then, at the urging of the referee, the teammates began to disperse from the designated positions that Shen Bin had arranged during training.

The game starts again.

After Shen Bin came on the court, the defense began to solidify. He once again used his ability to predict the ball's path, constantly shouting and reminding his teammates to move. Perhaps Eindhoven had not yet come out of the laughter and playfulness in the first 30 minutes. Shen Bin sent a threatening long pass the first time he got the ball, and Gular used his characteristics to bring the ball to the opponent's baseline.

When he passed the ball, Frank touched it out of the baseline, and Haarlem Athletic got the first corner kick of the game.

After Deng Zhuoxiang took a corner kick, Shen Bin jumped high in the crowd, showing his good jumping ability. He also used the strength of his waist and abdomen to stay in the air significantly longer than the 195-centimeter Norwegian defender Ebsen. Ebsen was obviously shaken by Shen Bin's early jump.

He jumped after Shen Bin, but unfortunately when he was falling, the ball had just reached the highest point. Shen Bin headed the ball, but the Dutch goalkeeper was no pushover and predicted the direction of Shen Bin's attack in advance. Unfortunately, Shen Bin's header was a 30-degree downward bounce, and the ball went into the net from the armpit of goalkeeper Harry Kuipers.

Looking at the conceded goal, Harry Kuipers pounded the turf with his fist in frustration, then he got up and glared at Shen Bin who was cheering.
