Chapter 18 Feyenoord

Fiernod, the opponent of the Fiorentina UEFA Champions League qualifiers, when people mention the Dutch League, they first think of Ajax, and then Eindhoven. Feyenoord is always the hero who is easy to be beaten.

In the Netherlands, Feyenoord, together with Ajax and Eindhoven, is known as the three giants of Dutch football. Although Feyenoord has won fewer league titles than the latter two since 1980 and 1990, it is undeniable that it is the only one in the Dutch Division that can compete with Ajax and Eindhoven. There is only Feyenoord.

Since its establishment in 1908, they have won 14 Dutch League titles, 10 Dutch Cups and 2 UEFA Cups, and became the first Dutch team to win the European Cup in 1970.

In 1908, Feyenoord Club was founded by two young players, who were just the name of one of their neighbors.

On July 19, 1908, they gathered in a bar in Rotterdam to establish the football club. At that time, they named it Wilhelmina and came from a local church named by the Queen of the Netherlands.

After that, the name of the club was changed twice, and in 1912 they finally decided to change the club to Feyenoord. In the first year after the establishment of the club, they participated in the Dutch league, and 16 years later, they won the first Dutch league championship in the club's history.

In the following time, Feyenoord won many league championships and the Dutch Cup, but the most memorable thing was that on May 6, 1970, they defeated the Scottish Celtics in Milan to win the European Cup and became the first Dutch team to dominate Europe.

At that time, in the presence of 25,000 Dutch fans, Feyenoord finally defeated the Scottish champion 2:1 with a goal in the 117th minute of overtime at San Siro Stadium.

The next day, thousands of Dutch fans surrounded their heroes and cheered all the way back to the Netherlands from Milan, which was the only time Feyenoord won the championship.

After entering the new century, Feyenoord often only played a role in accompanying the prince to study in the Champions League, but today, Fiorentina wants them to lose even this qualification.

Flaki Stadium has long been full of people. After the darkest period, Florence has finally returned to the top competition of European clubs.

Who doesn't want to see this historic moment with his own eyes, who doesn't want to witness his team's heroism in the Champions League again.

Bang!

Digan closed the door of the locker room fiercely, then looked at the teammates who were shocked by him, and suddenly smiled: "Don't mind, guys! I just want to calm down everyone's fanatical brains, nothing else!"

Calm down!

Florence really needs to calm down now. The excellent record in the warm-up match makes them look a little impetuous these days. Degan can see that Prandelli can also see that in the past, Prandelli would have stood up and let his teammates calm down again, but now that he has Degan, he naturally doesn't need him. It's troublesome, and Degan has the ability to stimulate everyone's fighting potential while cooling the heads of his teammates.

"The enemy has come!" Degan smiled easily, but the next second, his face suddenly became ferocious. "But you give me the feeling that this team from the Netherlands is not worth mentioning."

The teammates were stunned, and then thought carefully in their hearts. It is undeniable that Feyenoord, his opponent, was indeed not paid attention to by them.

especially Feyenoord's head coach Elvin. Koeman also took the initiative to show weakness at the press conference before the game: "Florence is a very strong team. They have many excellent players, especially Degan. He is an incredible player. This game will be very difficult for us. We are ready to accept any result! "

Look at what people said, it is clearly holding a flag and shouting: the slogan of light abuse!

But Degan and Prandelli saw through the man's heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys at a glance, and there was a curse hidden in their soft words!

Elvin. Koeman clearly intends to fool the whole team in Florence, and then he is so left for the benefit of the fisherman!

Florence is really powerful, but it is not strong enough to ignore Feyenoord's existence. At least it is also one of the three giants in the Dutch League. If you really think of it, you can eat it whenever you want!

Of course, if it weren't for the captain's perspective, he would need to use some means to calm down his teammates and face today's opponent, and Digan would not pay attention to Feyenoord.

Presley had already got Faye Nord's lineup for this game. Degan has seen it once. Except for Charistyas on a front line, he really has no acquaintances.

Charistias's goal rate has not been high, but if he is ignored, he will definitely be unlucky. In 2004, the Greek team won the European Cup miraculously. Charles Steias is the biggest contributor. His three goals are key: his goals in the group stage helped the Greek team's 1:1 draw with Siban. Ya; his goal in the quarter-finals helped the team eliminate France 1-0; it was his goal that made Greece beat the host Portugal 1-0 and finally return to the cup. Charles Steas himself was selected as the best team of the game and was regarded as a national hero by Greek fans.

There is an interesting story that happened before the European Cup, when Charles Steas, who played for the Bundesliga, bet with his teammates: if Greece can reach the European Cup final, I will hang up my boots.

In the end, the Greek team not only reached the finals, but also won the cup. Charlestias' bet became a beautiful and sweet joke.

Charis, who is 191cm tall, has an unparalleled advantage in the forward line. What's more, he also has a good bounce, which makes him often become a nightmare for the defender's defense. When the team is passively defending, he can defend and help his teammates. When the team counterattacks, he can actively return to the gap of the opponent's defense. The crowd jumps high and can see the small mountains and a fatal blow.

Digan doesn't want such an accident to happen, and he doesn't want Florence to become the arrogant maniacs who were eliminated for contempt for their opponents in 2004.

"Guys! Don't forget where our qualification came from. If you just want to show your face in the Champions League, you can say it now. I think the coach will arrange the most eye-catching position for you on the bench to ensure that the cameras will visit from time to time, but if you still remember what I told you before That sentence, then when we get on the stage, we have to start to work hard from the first second.

Elvin. Koeman is deliberately showing weakness. He hopes that we can despise his team more, so that they will have a chance to stab us fiercely in our hearts when we are careless. So, what should we do?

"Tell them, fuck them, we need to turn their last hope into despair! We have to control the game from the first second of the game, and let him teach him how cruel football is!"

The Fiorentina players listened quietly and felt that their blood was about to burn. This is their first game of the new season. As Degan said, this will be a great start, and the great start will not allow any mistakes.

PRANDLY is very satisfied with everything that has happened in the locker room. He now feels that it is a genius decision to mark the captain's armband to Degan. With Degan, he doesn't need to bother to sort out the locker room at all, because Digan can do all the work.

UEFA staff came to inform that when it was time to play, Degan tidyed up his equipment, walked to the door, and pushed the door open hard. The tsunami-like cheers outside surged in like a huge wave.

"Listen to the shouts of those fans. They came here today to witness their beloved team and return to the highest level of the field. We have no choice but to win, let's go! Guys, let's kick those enemies ass hard and tell them whose territory this is!"

The almost beastly Florentine players who were stimulated by Degan jumped up one by one and shouted out. Prandelli looked behind and said to his assistant Antonelli with a smile, "See? This is the real value of Rod!"

Antonelli also smiled: "That boy is born to be a leader!"

Plander said, "That's right! This is Florence's luck and also my luck. Until now, I have found that being a head coach is such an easy thing.

It's about to play. In the player channel, Feyenoord's players looked at the opponents standing beside them, all full of doubts. The momentum emanating from their opponents made them feel as if they were not going to climb the football field, but the ancient Roman arena later.

Florence's players are gladiators. They have sharpened their knives and guns and are ready to kill at any time.

Fyenod's captain, Flar, couldn't help but worry that their head coach Erwin was in the locker room just now. Koeman is still saying that he should take the lead in breaking the deadlock and then use defense to win, but looking at the appearance of these opponents now, will they really underestimate the enemy?

Flaar is a little unconfident!
