287 I believe in you! [The fourth update of the liver, begging for a monthly pass]
Utrecht, Golgenwald Stadium.
When referee Dick Joel blew the whistle for the end of the match, Kuyt stopped out of breath.
The Dutch striker stood inside the pitch, his head tilted and his eyes closed, feeling the aftermath of a fierce game.
It was a very intense game.
The tenacity shown by Utrecht at the main venue was completely unexpected by Feyenoord and Kuyt.
This team is currently in 10th place in the Eredivisie, and it stands to reason that they are undercompensated and more than the bottom, without any pressure to perform, but they are desperate to snipe Feyenoord, which obviously has nothing to do with the result of the game.
It's more about competitive sportsmanship.
Of course, it can also be said that the media all over the Netherlands are staring at this game, and it will not work without giving it their all.
At the beginning of the game, Feyenoord took advantage of a scramble and set up a goal from Castren in the 10th minute through Kuyt, a goal that seemed to give Feyenoord a glimpse of the possibility of a big away win.
But then, Focke-Boe immediately adjusted his tactics, and in turn suppressed Feyenoord, and even played Feyenoord a little embarrassed at one point, and more often, Utrecht stopped Feyenoord with tenacious defense.
After the rematch in the second half, Feyenoord continued to chase after each other, especially Kuyt, who ran at all costs and patiently looked for opportunities, but I don't know if it was because his partner Kalou didn't start tonight, or because of something else, Kuyt was always a little bit away from scoring.
It wasn't until the 67th minute that Kuyt got another chance to break past Utrecht's goal to make it 2-0 and score his 29th goal of the season.
Feyenoord then continued to increase their attacking intensity, and Kalaw came off the bench to launch a wave of attacks, creating a lot of scoring opportunities for Kuyt, but unfortunately, Kuyt could not score again.
In the end, Feyenoord beat Utrecht 2-0 away.

"Dude, well done!"
Kalaw walked over, grabbed Kuyt's shoulder, and said with a smile.
Before this game, he had a slight injury and did not feel very good in training, so Gullit did not start this game, but he was also substituted in the second half.
Kuyt also put his arm around Kalaw's shoulder, "Thank you!" ”
His goal prowess this season has been linked to the assists of Kalaw, who has brought Feyenoord plenty of goals to the duo and Kalough who has made the most passes and assists to Kuyt.
Especially in the recent goal drought, Kalou fed him the ball frequently, which made Kuyt grateful.
"Utrecht is also crazy in this game, not to mention the back five, and three in the midfield, to be honest, I have some doubts that they are helping Yang Yang snipe you." Kalou chuckled.
Kuyt couldn't help but laugh, but he knew it couldn't be.
Yang Yang didn't have that kind of influence, and neither would Utrecht and Focker Boe.
This game has no impact on Feyenoord, the team is already doomed to lose the Champions League, can only finish fourth in the league and participate in the League Cup, so it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the key is whether Kuyt can score.
Utrecht also has to show his attitude and prove that he has sniped with all his might.
As for Kuyt still scoring in the end, it is no longer a matter for Utrecht.
"Well, now it's okay, in the earlier game, Yang Yang also played very hard, only scored one goal, and now you have scored, the gap between you is still three goals, nine out of ten." Kalau laughed.
"It's early, it's early." Kuyt said modestly, but there was already a smile on his face.
There are only two rounds left in the league, and he is still three goals ahead of Yang Yang, theoretically speaking, he is basically locked up as the top scorer in the league, unless Yang Yang can score three more goals than him in the last two rounds.
But is it possible?
You must know that Yang Yang's ability to persist so far this season depends more on his stability.
Wesley Sonk didn't play this season, which disappointed everyone at Ajax, but it was Yang Yang who played out, more because his ability to grasp opportunities was too stable, and he could basically score goals steadily.
Looking at Yang Yang's performance this season, most of them are goals or assists in a single game, which makes Yang Yang have scored 26 league goals and 16 assists so far, and it can be said that he has directed more than half of Ajax's goals.
But there have been very few braces, let alone a hat-trick.
On the other hand, Kuyt, three hat-tricks, three braces, this alone is already a cut ahead of Yang Yang.
The only criticism is that he has had three notable goal droughts this season, while Yang Yang has not.
There is also the fact that Yang Yang missed four league games at the beginning of the season, which makes him play fewer games than Kuyt, but now there is a three-goal gap between them, which is enough to make up for the difference in the number of games played in those four rounds.
…………
…………
As he stepped off the field, Kuyt was constantly congratulated by his teammates.
With a three-goal lead in two rounds, it was clear that he had basically locked up the top scorer position, and his teammates also congratulated Kuyt.
On the sidelines, head coach Ruud Gurlitt walked over excitedly and hugged Kuyt hard.
This is Gullit's first time in charge of the Eredivisie, having only managed the Dutch youth team before that, so he can be described as a rookie coach.
In terms of this season's coaching results alone, it is really unsatisfactory, mainly because the team is not consistent enough to score points, which makes Feyenoord not to mention competing with PSV Eindhoven and Ajax, even AZ Alkmaar is not as good as it, and can only be relegated to fourth.
But in terms of performance, Ruud Gullit is recognised for playing some of the most spectacular attacking football in the Eredivisie, and Kuyt is Gullit's proudest masterpiece.
"He basically can't catch up, your ball tonight basically cut off all his thoughts, it's great!" Gurlitt laughed.
If you want to score three more goals in two rounds, not to mention that Kuyt will continue to play, even if Kuyt stops at 29 goals, Yang Yang will be able to catch up with three goals in two rounds?
No kidding, no one is so sure that they can do such a thing.
Therefore, Yang Yang's reversal can only be a theoretical possibility.
Kuyt is the top scorer in the Eredivisie this season!
The only suspense is whether he can exceed 30 goals, or even more.
"The coach is right, I guess, this goal must have made Yang Yang feel desperate!" Kalou laughed.
Because of his similar age, he has always been very unhappy with Yang Yang.
After saying that, Kalaw patted Kuyt on the shoulder again and laughed: "You just wait to receive the award!" ”
Kuyt also laughed when he heard it, and when he heard the head coach and his teammates say this, he couldn't help but start to believe it, and the nerves that had been tense gradually relaxed.
I'm so tired!
He's played all 34 league games for a full season, and the vast majority of them are 90 minutes, especially in the second half of the season, and if it weren't for the goals that kept motivating him, he really couldn't hold it up.
Well, now I can finally catch my breath.
Shooter King, he's been looking forward to it for three years!
Now that it's time to get it, he's a little nervous.
Kuyt couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.
Seeing him laugh, Kalaw and other teammates beside him also followed suit, shouting for him to have a treat.
Kuyt's win as top scorer is definitely the biggest thing Feyenoord has to celebrate this season.
…………
…………
When the game in Utrecht ended, the Feyenoord players were celebrating Kuyt's early victory as the top scorer was over, and 30 kilometres to the north, in the small town of Odekerk, Yang Yang's living room was as silent as death.
The Eredivisie's top scorers for this season were clearly laid out on live television, with Kuyt leading the way with 29 goals, followed by Yang Yang with 26 goals, followed by Feyenoord's Kalou.
Even the commentator said that with only two rounds left in the league, the possibility of Yang Yang's reversal only exists in theory.
This made his teammates such as Maxwell, Fermaren, McCone and Bendtner, who were sitting in the living room and watching the live broadcast with Yang Yang, didn't know how to comfort him and couldn't speak.
You can't say that it doesn't matter if you don't get it, right?
After all, it was the honor that Yang Yang worked hard to get for a season.
But if it was too serious, wouldn't it make him even more sad?
"Yang Yang......" Maxwell felt that he still had to say something.
But as soon as he spoke, Yang Yang stood up and squeezed out a reluctant and stiff smile, "It's okay, everyone go back to rest early, I have to train tomorrow, and I'll go to sleep too." ”
After speaking, Yang Yang went upstairs, leaving his teammates looking at each other.
Returned to the room, locked the door, Yang Yang fell on the bed, face up, looking at the poster on the ceiling, he felt irritable in his heart, he was not resentful, nor angry, but he felt unwilling.
Did everyone sentence him to death too early?
It is indeed extremely difficult to fall behind by three goals in two rounds, but is there no possibility of a comeback?
A message came from the mobile phone next to Yang Yang, and when he opened it, he saw that it came from the mobile phone QQ, and Su Xiaomei sent a message, "Don't give up, you must be able to!" ”
At this moment, Yang Yang's eyes moistened, and he had the urge to cry, but he endured it.
He knew that that stupid girl must have stayed up all night waiting for the result of the game, and needless to say, the reason must still be ......
"Did you get the noise? I'm sorry, I stayed up late to read the book, and I happened to take a look at the game, and I knew that you were uncomfortable, so I sent you a chicken soup. When Yang Yang called, Su Ye's voice seemed to be hiding in the bed, very soft.
"Thank you, your chicken soup is quite replenishing." Yang Yang replied.
I don't know why, the moment I heard her voice, Yang Yang's heart felt much better.
"That's good, you have to like it, I'll stew a pot for you every day in the future." Su Ye grinned.
Yang Yang was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly asked, "Little sister, do you believe me?" ”
"I believe it, of course I do." Su Xiaomei blurted out.
"Can I reverse Kuyt, believe it or not?"
"Believe, I believe." Su Xiaomei said without hesitation, "Even if everyone in the world doesn't believe you, at least I still believe it." ”
Tears finally slid silently down the corners of his eyes, moistening the pillow behind his head, but Yang Yang didn't wipe it.
"I promise, little sister, I won't let you down!" Yang Yang was stunned word by word, biting very hard.
"I believe in you!"
