Chapter XIX. Bad start

On the other hand, PSV Eindhoven coach Advocaat is full of confidence for this game, as he said in his pre-match press conference, his summer preparations have been very smooth, and this Dutch Super Cup is the best litmus test of the team's summer preparations.

This game, compared to Ajax, is a little more important for PSV Eindhoven, as it is the debut of the team's new manager and returning veterans.

Advocaart, the experienced head coach who has been away for many years, is finally back in charge in the Netherlands, which is a challenge for him. The other returning veteran may be more familiar to fans.

Mark van Bommel, the famous Dutch tough guy midfielder and former Bayern Munich's first Dutch captain, has finally returned to his roots after a year at AC Milan and has returned to the place where he became famous as a young man to begin the final leg of his career.

As soon as Van Bommel stepped on the field of the Amsterdam Stadium, the Eindhoven fans in the stands began their crazy cheers and celebrations, and some fans even sang the cheering songs written for him that year, it was Van Bommel's last season in Eindhoven, it was a season worth remembering, because Eindhoven broke into the Champions League semi-finals under the leadership of Van Bommel, but unfortunately, In the end, he fell at the feet of Kaka and AC Milan, who were in full swing at the time.

Faced with such a scene, such a battle-hardened Van Bommel couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

Li Lin, who had just stepped on the pitch, was also a little strange why the fans in Eindhoven suddenly became so loud that he nodded knowingly until the name Van Bommel was mentioned.

"This guy made Manchester United suffer a lot back then."

Bayern Munich and Manchester United have met many times in the Champions League, and Van Bommel can be considered an old rival of Manchester United.

……

"This is the Dutch Super Cup, and I don't think the two of us need to introduce it to the crowd or friends."

Byrne Wright, a serious Dutch TV announcer, humorously joked with the audience in front of the TV, while his partner next to him gave him a blank look.

"I'm William Vanderst, next to my partner, it doesn't matter who he is, just listen to me!"

Vanderst also inherited Wright's humorous style, and the two complemented each other well.

"I think the crowd will be able to hear the cheers in the stadium right now, and this cheer is for Marc van Bommel, the veteran who is back in the place where he really grew up after six years away from PSV Eindhoven."

"Yes, and in terms of the strength of the team, Van Bommel's return is definitely a big reinforcement for PSV Eindhoven, with this experienced veteran in charge, it suddenly gives this young team a backbone, and before the game, Coach Advocaat expressed the same opinion."

Just as the two began to talk to the audience about the various pre-match situations, there was a person on the sidelines of the pitch and in the media area who was observing the Ajax bench.

"I communicate a lot with my teammates, and I should have a good relationship with my teammates in the team, and I have strong communication skills."

Van Steer observed Li Lin's movements on the bench, and then wrote and drew in his notebook.

Originally, Van Steer was not interested in this young player on loan from Ajax, but since Li Lin's performance in the warm-up game was not bad, he did not mean to target the other party, but the editor-in-chief suddenly asked him to write an article about this player, which made Van Steer's heart a little crooked, although he had the right to refuse, but for the sake of the cooperation with the editor-in-chief for many years, he reluctantly agreed.

"It's a pity, boy, the editor-in-chief of Fabich doesn't have a limit on how to write, if you don't behave well and get sprayed by me, you can only blame yourself."

Van Sdier smiled darkly, as if black gas was coming out of his body, and the reporters around him unconsciously moved away from him.

At this time, Li Lin, who was sitting on the bench, also felt a chill on his neck, and a feeling as if he was being targeted by something made his heart furious.

"What's wrong with you?"

Fisher asked curiously.

"It's okay," Li Lin put the strange feeling just now behind him, and now that the game hadn't started yet, Li Lin, who was a little bored, rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea, "Victor, how about we make a bet?" ”

"What bet?"

Fisher looked at Li Lin a little vigilantly, during this period of interaction, he also understood that Li Lin was a master who only took advantage of the advantages and did not suffer losses, and the idea he proposed was definitely not good.

"What do you mean, like I'm going to pit you!" Li Lin was a little wronged, "We don't bet on what we can control, isn't it fair." ”

"You say, I'll listen."

"Let's bet on who will come off the bench for a while, the stakes are not big, five hundred euros, okay!"

Li Lin has the ticket to victory, with the words of Coach Frank before, he feels that as long as there is a substitute on the field, he should go ahead of Fisher, as long as there is no accident, of course, if there is an accident, he can only admit it, and he is willing to gamble and lose.

Fisher is thinking about the operability of this matter in his heart, at present, on the field, two strikers, four midfielders, it stands to reason that everyone has the same chance to play, but the problem is that the team's substitute striker must be the guy in front of him, but he is not the only substitute fullback, although he is currently getting the most opportunities to play.

On the side, while Fisher was thinking, another teammate stepped up.

"Lee, can you add me one?"

Veteran Christian Paulsen smiled naturally, trying to put a genuine look on his face.

"Yes, no problem."

Li Lin did not hesitate and agreed, in his mind, no matter what the situation, Paulson should not be the first to be replaced.

How did he know that Paulson's ideas were completely opposite to his, maybe this is because people will come to different conclusions when they think about the problem from different angles.

At this time, Fisher also agreed to the bet, and the bet was officially established.

Just when the three of them were making their own little calculations, the Dutch Super Cup match finally began.

However, as soon as the game began, PSV Eindhoven gave Ajax a blow in the face.

Wijnaldum made a direct pass from the midfield, PSV Eindhoven defender Toivonen did not adjust in front of the big penalty area, and shot angrily at the ball, 1:0! Ajax suffered a heavy blow from the start of the game. ”

"Mertens jumped the ball in the middle, and in the penalty area, high striker Matafuz jumped high, headed the ball, and Toivonen, who was interspersed with running, got the ball again and calmly shot in the face of the goalkeeper, 2:0!"

"Before the game, most of the media thought that Ajax was the favourite in this tournament, but PSV Eindhoven woke Ajax from their dream with their performance!"

Vanderst excitedly commented on the commentary bench that no one expected that PSV Eindhoven would score two goals at the beginning, which was incredible.

"The balance of victory has completely tipped to PSV Eindhoven's side, so let's see what Coach Frank does!"
