Chapter 137 Unexpected Replacement
Five minutes later, Feyenoord was replaced. There was no performance in the first 30 minutes. Under the Russian striker Nikov, who showed his invisibility, the Argentine striker Cruz played.
The 24-year-old Cruise started his football career at Banfield Club in Argentina. After three seasons at Banfield, he joined River Plate Club. Then he was looked at by the Feyenoord club in the Netherlands and came to Feyenoord last season.
Last season, Cruise scored 14 goals for the team most of the time as a substitute, which was the only highlight of Feyenoord, who had nothing last season and didn't even get a place in the Champions League.
However, Cruise has a strange thing. The starter often has no achievements, and the substitutes often score goals. Even if Ben Hack attaches great importance to him, he has to put him on the bench.
Cruise's appearance has brought new changes and vitality to Feyenoord's front court. The Argentine has a strong ability to control the ball, can pass and shoot, and is good at grabbing points in front of the goal. The disadvantage is that the speed is slow, but in the case of Alkmaar's recovery, the disadvantage of no speed has been reduced, and the advantage of being able to play the ball is shown. .
The strength of the original Idyvanian Karu on the front line is also good, but he is an opportunistic striker, not the kind of strong center who can take the ball in the penalty area. The characteristics are similar to Tomasson. With the existence of Caru, it is also the reason why Ben Hack did not insist on robbing Tomasson with Alkmaar.
Russian Nikov can't help Kalu. Karu's hand is hard to sing and lacks threatening shots. After Cruz came on the court, he attracted a lot of firepower from Alkmaar. Karu became active. Once he inserted into the goal, he wrapped his left foot and shot, but unfortunately shot the ball high. Once he received Cruz's header, he was sent to the goal and was attacked by Silva. Strive to get out.
When Jiang Mu saw this, he knew that he would deal with it immediately. It would definitely not be good to let the opponent fight like this. First, he asked Van Bomel to warm up, and then came to the side and told Altedore to press the formation forward and keep the Feyenoord away from the penalty area.
But at this time, something unexpected happened to Jiang Mu. Feyenoord's full-back Van Gobel passed Enger in the side ball. After a few steps, Suleiman, who was stuck in the position, was afraid of Van Gobel's speed and did not dare to step forward, but was pierced by Van Gobel on the edge of the penalty area.
Van Goebel went down at high speed and made a cross near the bottom line. There was chaos in the penalty area. Martens, Gattuso, Cruz and Caru competed for the header together.
The goalkeeper Silva saw that the ball was very close to the goal and quickly hit the ball, but when he took the ball, he collided with the player fighting for the header.
Silva hit Cruz's fist in the face, but his head was hit by Gattuso and Caru. When he fell, Cruz and Gattuso hit Silva heavily on the body.
Cruz's face was bleeding, and Silva fell to the ground. Only Gattuso and Caru were dizzy, but nothing was serious.
The team doctor quickly came on the field and carried Cruz and Silva off the field with a stretcher.
After simple treatment, Cruise only had a nosebleed, and there was no problem, but Silva was hit with a little concussion and could not support the continuation of the game.
"Fuck me!"
Jiang Mu looked at Silva lying on the stretcher with dull eyes. His chest was extremely tight. Originally, he wanted to replace Van Bomel's, but now he can only change Cesar. He can't change two people in the first half. That's simply sensational.
Cesar was about to fall asleep with his eyes narrowed. As a goalkeeper, the substitute is equal to the audience. Basically, there will be no chance to play. The strong dialogue is especially not a chance, and he can't get a minute.
It was only when Silva was injured and carried out of the stretcher that Cesar got excited and couldn't help wondering if there would be a chance to play? Although he felt that his idea was too obscene, who didn't think so at this time?
"Julio, it's your turn to play. Try your best. Such a big scene is up to you."
Jiang Mu took a picture of 19-year-old Cesar. It's not that Cesar hasn't started in the league before, but Alkmaar is very strong and his opponent has few opportunities to shoot. He basically doesn't have many opportunities to perform. In most cases, Jiang Mu still sends experienced Sylva to play. Cesar is still too young. It needs to be tempered.
Cesar's excited brain was stunned, and the opportunity finally came. Such a strong dialogue that may determine the trend of the league is not only concerned by the Netherlands, but also by the media in other European countries. There are many reporters from France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and other national televisions on the scene. If he performs well, maybe This is an opportunity to become famous.
Cesar went up without any preparatory activities, but Van Bomel, who had been preparing for a long time, could only return to the bench and continue to wait for the opportunity.
The Feyenoord saw Alkmar's main goalkeeper go down and changed into a 19-year-old guy. The fluff on his lips had not yet fallen out. He looked like a green Zhengtai, and the attack was more fierce, and he added a lot of long-range shots. He hoped to make Cesar, the substitute goalkeeper, through a large number of shots. The mistake.
Cruz's appearance changed the situation of the game. His height and ability to grab points made Van Gobel and Van Watson's sideline breakthrough pass useful, and Caru's erratic running position also made Alkmaar's defense more difficult.
Of course, the most important thing is that the defense line and goalkeeper Cesar can't work together, which is far less tacitly as with Silva.
Alkmaar's defense line is in the Eerste Divisie. Now Clone Camp does not play, which is the Eerste Divisie defense line, but don't underestimate this Eerste Divisie defense line. They have been playing with Silva for many years and have a very tacit understanding. Under Jiang Mu's **, this defensive line is enough. It competes with the defenders of any Dutch team. If there are three backs in the front, I'm afraid that the first-class teams in Europe will not dare to break through their defenses easily.
But now the goalkeeper has become Cesar. The defender and the goalkeeper not only lose tacit understanding, but also find it difficult to trust each other. It often happens. The goalkeeper attacks and meets his own players. The goalkeeper such as the guard card or the ball guard come out to get the ball, but the goalkeeper does not move.
In the case of the opponent's tightness, the tacit understanding between the goalkeeper and the defender becomes dangerous.
In the 40th minute of the game, the prevailing Fiernoud passed through the sidelines, and finally the winger Van Watson hung the ball to the penalty area. Cruise flew to grab the point. The goalkeeper Cesar made a correct judgment and quickly hit the ball. Then, when the opportunistic striker Karu caught up with the intervention of Martens, Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar still stubbornly blocked the ball with his legs when he had lost his center of gravity.
Two minutes later, the home team Feyenoord made a comeback and was still brewing the offensive on the sidelines. The one who tested Cesar this time was Feyenoord's striker Cruz. Without defense, Cruise used a difficult volley to threaten Alkmaar's goal. Cruz's attack was good, but Cesar was more beautiful. His center of gravity was not deceived by the second place, but firmly blocked his shot with his body. Then Tininho's fake fax shot on the line of the penalty area did not deceive the excellent Cesar. His shot was easily blocked from the bottom line by Cesar.
"Ah! The new young goalkeeper has performed very well! Is he really only 19 years old? It's hard to believe that his talent is much better than Silva's! His name is Cesar! We should remember this name. This young man will become a good goalkeeper..."
The live commentator Israel shouted in surprise and praised Cesar's talent.
Jiang Mu nods uncontrollably on the side of the court. After the opponent's adjustment to gain the upper hand, his side could not stand it, but Cesar's performance made the opponent's many attacks in failure. In one of the attack, Jiang Mu thought that even Silva could not jump out.
However, Cesar, who just played well on the field, was very unstable. In the 45th minute of the game, Feyenoord's defender Van Goebel pretended to be the bottom on the side, but suddenly passed the ball in the corner of the penalty area.
At this time, it has entered the stoppage time. The goalkeeper Cesar and the defender had a very short period of negligence, and it was so coincidental that the ball was passed into the penalty area by Van Goebel. Cruise attracted the defense of the two central defenders, but Caru, not far from Cruz, was right. He jumped up with a sharp header to attack the goal. The ball went to the far end and was extremely powerful. Although Cesar pounced on it, he hurriedly did not hold it. The ball rolled slowly along the front of the goal. The players in the penalty area went to grab the ball, but Van Watson arrived, and he easily made up for the shot. Rewrite the score into a one-to-one draw.
The stands were like a hurricane blowing through the sea and rolling up stormy waves. More than 40,000 fans jumped up excitedly at the same time, and the stands seemed to suddenly rise three feet. The sound of applause and jumping feet were mixed together, which made the scene buzz, and no one could hear what the people around them were saying.
"GOALGOALGOAL... Van Watson scored! Van Watson!" The commentator Israel finally waited for this opportunity for him to vent. He suddenly stood up and shouted hoarsely, as if to use all his strength to breastfeed: "... His performance today is so wonderful that it was he and Van Gobel's performance that disrupted the opponent's defense! God! This attack is very compact and does not give the opponent a chance to react..."
After scoring the goal, Van Watson was overjoyed. He saw that there were signs of a cross on the side. He immediately swam into the penalty area. He had hit a shot, but he didn't expect to score a goal. He rushed to the sideline excitedly and hugged his mentor Ben Hack tightly.
The gambling finally succeeded. Van Watson equalized the score at the last minute of the first half, otherwise this adjustment would have become a joke. Ben Hack hugged Van Watson tightly and was lucky.
Thousands of Alkmaar fans are in a corner, as if they have been forgotten. They sit there quietly, shaking their heads and losing the ball at the last minute. It's really wrong. Why can't they concentrate for a minute?
Jiang Mu and goalkeeper coach Myers just praised Cesar and asked him to be good ** this young man in the future. As a result, Cesar made a fatal mistake, which made the opponent score a goal. The good situation was lost, and he had to be redeployed in the second half. The young man was just unstable! Jiang Mu saw a fly in the middle of the meal and shook his head depressedly.
