Strong Waist

Chapter 38: Feyenoord, the Big Three of the Netherlands

Arsenal will have a double match this week.

Both the Europa League and the Premier League need to play games.

Fortunately, the opponent is not particularly strong. Although there are away games, Arsenal has enough confidence.

In the upcoming Europa League competition, Mourinho plans to play with all the main players.

The competition intensity in the Europa League is very divided, with the strong ones being very strong and the weak ones being very weak.

In this kind of schedule, more rotations should be carried out to ensure that the main players get enough rest.

But after losing in the last round of the Europa League, Mourinho did not dare to do this.

We still need to be more stable, first win the game and stabilize the situation.

Otherwise, if we don't even appear in the group stage by then, it will really be a big deal.

On September 29, in the second round of the Europa League group stage, Arsenal will face the Dutch team Feyenoord at home.

Feyenoord, Ajax and PSV are known as the Big Three of Dutch football.

They also became a world-class team in the 1970s, winning the first European Champions Cup trophy for the Netherlands, two UEFA League Cup trophies, and 15 Eredivisie championships.

It can be said to be a ‘historic’ strong team.

However, with the advancement of commercial football, talents began to gradually flow to the five major leagues, the Eredivisie began to decline, and Feyenoord's competitiveness also gradually declined.

Although they performed well in the league, they lacked enough intensity in the European competition.

Due to the structure of the Dutch youth training and the impact of brain drain, Feyenoord was also forced to become a youth guard.

The team's age structure is highly differentiated.

There are as many as 4 22-year-old main players, and the average age is only 25 years old.

Among them, midfielder No. 10 Verena has attracted widespread attention from the Dutch domestic media. This young player born in 1995 has shown outstanding abilities since the youth training period. Many people are optimistic about Verena's future and call him a bright future. Not in the Netherlands, but in the five major leagues.

The same is true for Verena himself. Joining the five major leagues and joining a giant is every player's dream.

For Villena, this game at the Emirates Stadium is particularly crucial.

Before the game, Verena said frankly to the media in an interview with the Dutch media:

"Arsenal is a strong opponent, but precisely because they are so strong, they are worth defeating. We are not afraid of this battle!"

When talking about Lucky, Verena also showed the unruly side of genius.

"I admit that his performance was wonderful. He is a talented player, but I am also a genius. I will prove in the game that I can cope with Kai without winning the game!"

Verena's words also successfully reached the British media.

However, the opposite side of the report is unremarkable. After all, there are too many so-called "geniuses" clamoring for Lucky every year, but are there any successful examples among them?

In their view, this was a show by Verena to gain attention.

Are there any comparisons between Lucky and Verena?

These two people are not on the same level at all!

The public opinion that Verena imagined did not appear, and many in the media ridiculed him, which was unacceptable to the arrogant Verena.

During the warm-up at the Emirates Stadium, Verena stood in his own half and stared at Lucky.

Lucky also felt the other person's gaze and turned around to glare.

What are you looking at?

Verena pursed her lips slightly, turned her head and continued to warm up.

Soon, both parties returned to the locker room.

The head coaches of both sides laid out tactics.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Aubameyang, Kante, Wilshere, Lucky, Mane.

Forward: Lukaku.

Feyenoord (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Jones.

Defenders: Karlsdorp, Bertkin, Vanderheiden, Kongolo.

Midfielder: Ahmadi, Kuyt, Verena.

Forwards: Boguis, Jorgensen, Tostra.

Fortunately, Lucky and Verena came to the same side, which also meant that there was bound to be a direct confrontation.

"Verena and Kai are on the same side. This is Verena's challenge to Kai. However, I am not optimistic about Verena. After all, many talented players have thought about defeating Kai to become famous, but they all failed. Failed!"

"And Kai is still in hot form. Does Verena really have a chance?"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shook his head.

He felt that Verena should not provoke Lucky before the game, which would have a certain impact on his performance.

Who knows whether Lucky will defend him in a targeted manner.

On the commentary stage in the Netherlands, the commentator shouted loudly: "Verena, the child of the sky, he is an unparalleled genius, and he will show his unparalleled skills in this game!"

During the game, Wilshere grinned with cold teeth and asked Lucky, "Do you need me to give that little guy a kick?"

Lucky waved his hand and said: "No need to do these little tricks, remember not to take cards!"

Hearing this, Wilshere shrugged, this was Lucky taking action himself.

For this reason, Wilshere held a moment of silence for that Verena.

At best, he would feel physical pain when he did it, but Lucky was a psychological blow, and it was easy for him to fall into despair.

Wilshere had this idea, but Lucai had no such idea at all.

To be honest, he didn't care much about Verena at all, he just wanted to win the game.

Beep! !

The whistle blows and the game begins.

Feyenoord took the lead.

After several passes, the ball came to Verena's feet. This guy's feet were very fast. The special envoy relied on his youth and his body's ability to change directions very quickly.

Shaking left and right, having a great time.

Lucky was slightly forward, but Verena passed the ball very quickly and did not have a head-on confrontation with Lucky.

Lucky turned to face the other side and assisted in defense.

However, the ball was passed back to Verena again.

Judging from the frequency of Feyenoord passing the ball, Villena is the core point of their attack.

Thinking of this, Lucai suddenly started up and posted it instantly.

This turn of events shocked Verena.

So fast!

Lucky moved forward too quickly, and Verena's superior distance disappeared in an instant.

Verena quickly tried to pull the ball and create distance.

But at this time, Lucai took a step forward again and poked with his toes.

The ball was struck at Wilshere's feet, and Arsenal launched a counterattack.

"Beautiful!! Kai's steal!! Verena is too proud. He can't let Kai stay so close, and he also wants to open up and continue to try to break through. This is an extremely wrong decision!"

Andy Gray shook his head slightly, secretly denying Verena.

So many top players in football have suffered losses at the hands of Lucky, let alone Verena.

He didn't believe that Feyenoord's coach never focused on this issue, but he still made such actions, which meant that this guy violated the tactical arrangement.

This is not the attitude a professional player should have.

"Damn!!!"

Feyenoord's head coach Van Bronckhorst waved his arms angrily in the dugout.

He was angry at Verena's choice.

This guy does have some very strong talents, but talents are talents, and talents that cannot be exchanged cannot be used as weapons.

In fact, Verena also has a nickname in Feyenoord in addition to his nickname of 'Child of the Sky'.

‘Spoiled child! ’

Verena was also a little confused. This skill, which was extremely practical in the league, suddenly became difficult to use.

But he didn't have time to think too much and ran back to press.

Although he was spoiled, he still knew that if he lost the ball, he would grab it himself.

Rampant all the way, Verena continued to confront Wilshere.

But compared to Lucky's clean and neat kicking style, Wilshere is not like that.

During the run, Wilshere made a sharp move towards Verena's waist, and then took another side step, blocking Verena directly in front of him, disrupting the opponent's rhythm, and immediately got into the big body. In the restricted area, he shot furiously.

The ball was dragged out of the baseline by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Arsenal's first attack failed to result in a goal.

Wilshere also shook his head slightly regretfully.

But soon, Verena rushed to the referee and wanted to ask for an explanation.

However, the referee did not give any signal, and used his eyes to warn the opponent to back off, otherwise he would take out his cards.

Verena could only leave angrily.

In response, Wilshere sneered, so he was still a rookie!
