At 7:20 p.m., there was a bustle outside the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium as fans called on their friends to cheer on their team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Some anxious fans began to enter the stadium, and the overwhelming majority of them were Dutch fans, wearing orange jerseys, holding small flags in their hands, and some with colors painted on their faces......

The Irish fans, who were not numerically predominant, were not at all inferior to the Dutch fans in terms of momentum, and they shouted: "Ireland"

There aren't many games between the two teams, with Ireland playing a friendly against the Netherlands in '04 and a narrow one-goal away win, giving Irish fans a lot of confidence that their side will come out on top tonight.

The Dutch fans thought it was a surprise, they had the advantage on the pitch throughout the game, and if it wasn't for the strikers' repeated chances to score, if it wasn't for the corner kick defence flawed, the Dutch would have won.

One of the best proofs of this is that two years later, the Netherlands went to Ireland and won by four goals away from home.

Away games can be won by four goals, not to mention tonight's home game.

When fans walked into the stadium, they found players from both sides warming up on the turf.

Chen Fan followed the assistant coach very seriously to warm up and move various joints and muscles, in order to make his body reach the best state.

With a number of reporters on the sidelines already in place, Dutch reporters gathered to whisper about the players' recent form and speculate on the starting line-up.

Before they knew it, they talked about Chen Fan, and a controversy started again.

"I think Chen should start, and in midfield! After all, Van der Vaart is over 30 years old, there will be fitness problems, and his recent performances at Bayern have been mediocre. ”

"Impossible! Chen is definitely unlikely to start, he has never felt the atmosphere of the game at the national team level, and today he will come off the bench at most, which is already the limit.

Also, I don't think he can play in midfield, Van der Vaart is a little older and hasn't been in great form at Bayern recently, but he was responsible for the Netherlands' three-game winning streak. With him intercepting in midfield, the back line is much easier!

From the current point of view, Chen's attacking power is no problem, young people like to attack and want to show their offensive talent in front of the world. After the game started, Chen was likely to forget his defensive responsibilities, which would not have met Van Marwijk's tactical requirements at all. ”

……

I didn't get any more details about Mr. Chen from my Dutch counterparts, which made foreign journalists remember his name. They were pointing at Chen Fan, who was warming up.

"It's that yellow-skinned kid, see it, he's Chen Fan, a young man who is called a 'supernova' by the Dutch domestic media!"

"The young man is very sunny, clean, and his mental temperament is also good, I heard that there are already wealthy families eyeing him."

"Really? What are the giants? How I haven't heard. ”

"You're not a Dutch journalist, so of course you won't notice him......"

"Uh...... This doesn't matter, the important thing is that those wealthy families noticed him? ”

"The most rumoured is Bayern, it is said that their senior scouts have come to watch him play several games in the Eredivisie, and I heard that one of their senior executives is also here tonight!"

"Oh...... And there is such a thing, isn't Bayern afraid of the Dutch gang in the dressing room? ”

"What if there is a Dutch gang, the Germans are the real masters of the dressing room, Robben seems to be strong, but he doesn't have much say in the Bayern dressing room."

A middle-aged reporter couldn't see it, how did these guys talk about it, he coughed twice and said: "We should focus on this game, as for those rumors, gossip or something, you can talk about it when you have nothing to do in the future." ”

These reporters brought the conversation back to tonight's game.

……

On the turquoise turf, the players of the two teams are warming up seriously, and the atmosphere of the two teams is also good, and there are often laughter.

Chen Fan was particularly serious, because Van Marwijk specially asked him to communicate with him last night. The Dutch boss told him he was ready to start him at right-back, a position he was familiar with!

Chen Fan was both happy and surprised by the news, and he was happy that he could not only play, but also start, indicating that his performance in the Eredivisie had conquered Van Marwijk.

It was surprising that Van Marwijk did not give him time to adapt to the national team and the World Cup qualifiers.

Van Marwijk then began to dissipate his nervousness and excitement in addition to making specific tactical requests: "Chen, there are many firsts and so far you have made your debut very well, and tomorrow night you will be the first to step into the Eredivisie. ”

"Play with that mentality and you'll be able to play at your level!"

'You've proven yourself in the Eredivisie and you'll find it even easier to play against Ireland than in the Eredivisie.

Of course, Chen Fan knew that he was defusing his nervousness, how could the World Cup qualifiers be easier than the Eredivisie.

"Coach, I know it's useless to say anything now, I can only repay your trust with a wonderful performance."

A little more than a month ago, Van Marwijk recruited him to the Dutch team for a training camp, and at that time he received a lot of criticism and put a lot of pressure on him.

At that time, Chen Fan's public identity was still a Dutch second division player, and Dutch football was full of talents, he was not famous at all, and even most Dutch fans didn't know who he was.

For Chen Fan, Van Marwijk has a good understanding of him.

Unlike Basten, who was redeployed to the first team, if there were no problems at the back of Ajax and if Van der Wiel's form was not sluggish, he would not have been able to get into the first team anytime soon.

"Don't be nervous, boy, this is your stage, a bigger stage, a stage that the Dutch fans will remember about you!"

With fame is money, professional players are a profession with both fame and fortune, and Chen Fan is undoubtedly very eager for money.

……

There are a lot of people who are familiar with Chen Fan in the stands tonight, and those teammates of the Athletic Enough team are basically all present, they think that Chen Fan is very likely to appear tonight, and they don't want to miss Chen Fan's debut in the Netherlands.

The VIP table was also full of big names, and many Dutch celebrities were present, such as Seedorf, Davies, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, ......

Of course, the biggest card is Cruyff, some people say that if the Netherlands wins the championship in '74, Cruyff is likely to participate in the '78 World Cup, then the Netherlands may win the World Cup for a second time.

Cruyff is very likely to become the second generation of football kings after Pele!

Of course, this statement is based on assumptions and is not convincing, but it is enough to show Cruyff's place in world football.

When the fans found Cruyff, they stood up and gave him a round of applause......

In addition to these celebrities, the top management of the Dutch Football Association also came, and the president of the Football Association, Van Prahe, was impressively listed.
