Chapter 18 No offside
"Hey! Hello everyone and welcome to the fifth round of the Dutch Bundesliga, and I'm today's special commentator, Dennis Bergkamp. It's my pleasure to explain today's highlight battle. ”
Don't be surprised, it's him, it's him, it's him! Bergkamp, the world-famous "Ice Prince", said goodbye to the stadium because he couldn't let go of his love for football. Therefore, he joined the commentary world and became a special guest of the Dutch sports channel.
"Today's game was played by my parent team, Ajax, oh, sorry, isn't that good? It was Ajax, who are second in the Eredivisie table, playing PSV Eindhoven at home. ”
"Ajax has been plagued by injuries recently, so that several strikers have not been able to play, so they can only promote Mido, who has been in inform, to the start, and he (he)? What did he do with his last name on his jersey? Oh, excuse me, who is this? ”
Hearing his question, his team, who had not heard of this No. 99 before, hurriedly searched for He Xu's information on the Internet. Unfortunately, the information on the Internet is also blank, which makes Bergkamp, who was not prepared, very unhappy, "Okay! Dear viewers and friends, I don't know anything about this 99 at the moment, so I can't introduce it to you. ”
At this time, the game had already begun, and after Toivonen passed the ball to Lens, he ran forward, and when he passed by He Xu's side, he realized that this kid was short enough.
At this time, in a small Internet café in Harbin, northeast China, an uncle woke up his aunt next to him, "Hey, hey, hey! Look, the game is on. My son is actually the starter! ”
The couple stared intently at the computer screen.
He Xu had woken up from the initial dizziness at this time, the tactical arrangement before the game, he was asked by Coman to actively return to defense, thinking of this, he quickly stepped back, staring at the guy with the ball, looking at the name on his jersey, he should be called Lacey, it can also be read as, **? What?
He Xu thought about it with a bad taste, the action under his feet did not stop, he grabbed it very actively, and put it on this guy, and the referee immediately awarded a free kick in the front court.
Bergkamp, who was in the studio, was amazed: "Oh, God! This defensive move is just too amateurish. Was he a temporary worker in the reserves? As a defender, he shouldn't be so reckless! ”
As soon as the words fell, his assistant took a copy of the information he had just obtained through the internal and handed it to him.
He glanced at it and was stunned, is there any mistake, is it really a temporary requisition in the reserve team, the position of the center? Why do you retreat so deep with a center?
PSV Eindhoven's long-range free-kick posed little of a threat and Vertonghen headed the ball up front.
When building the human wall, Massimo Charlie teased to He Xu: "Do you worship me? So you want to be in the same position with me. ”
He Xu gave him a blank look and ignored him at all. Instead, he ran forward to pick up Ckim de Jong, who had the ball.
If He Xu now has football skills that are not easy to play in addition to speed, the biggest advantage is probably his excellent physical strength.
Twenty minutes into the first half, the score was still 0-0, with Ajax's attack lackluster, lone striker Mido in poor form and their young striker Chim de Jong not playing up to expectations.
"Lao He, why do you see that your son is running blindly on the field and can't catch the ball?" He Xu's mother asked her husband.
He Fengjie shook his head, "You don't understand this." He is called Taoguang Yanghui, if he doesn't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster! ”
"The number 99 was fouled for the fifth time and I felt the need to call Ronald and tell him that it would be a disaster to let this kid play. Do you think he will agree with me? By the way, this teenager is actually a center, can you imagine? ”
Bergkamp's commentary has always been loved by the audience for being funny, but Bergkamp can't laugh in the face of his parent team, which is obviously out of shape. Therefore, he can only point the finger at the unlucky He Xu.
He Xu, who didn't know that he was ridiculed, narrowed his eyes, I haven't touched the ball in this game. Anyway, you have to scare and scare your opponent first.
With this in mind, he finally got out of his position at the back and ran forward, raising his hand as he ran.
Sim de Jong was bewildered by the strong Ngal, and when he saw this, he made a sideways pass, and the ball rolled against the ground towards He Xu.
After He Xu received the ball, he rushed towards the opponent's penalty area without the slightest pause, and in front of him was an Eindhoven defender who didn't know his name, a person? I've had you a little bit, isn't it simple? He Xu thought so, and his feet accelerated.
Maybe because the space is too small, He Xu's speed advantage has not had time to play, this kick was a little big ball by him and the Eindhoven player was broken, he passed by He Xu with the ball, and then drove the ball to the front court with a big foot.
He Xu was still stunned, the ball accurately reached the feet of Afellai, who was pulled to the side, and Van der Wiel stared at him fiercely.
Afelai chose to play the ball quickly, sending the ball back to the middle, Toivonen, who was originally a central striker, got rid of Vertonghen's marking and retreated to the top of the penalty area, the ball went to the middle, and Lens, who received the ball and was ready to break through, attracted Vertonghen's attention again.
Lens took two steps forward with the ball before slamming the outside of his foot and sending the ball back to the unmarked Toivonen at the top of the box.
Coman yelled and stood up, the ball was too dangerous. But he only yelled halfway before stopping.
Toivonen, who had been waiting for a long time, had already kicked the ball in, and in the face of a comfortable pass, the Swedish striker leaned over and fired a shot that looked more like a pass from the ground, and the ball passed through the gap and into the bottom corner of the goal. Stekelenburg had already pounced, but the ball rolled under his arm into the net faster.
After the goal, Toivonen raised his hands in celebration, and He Xu, who was still immersed in the regret of being broken, was stunned.
0 to 1! PSV Eindhoven, who were playing away, took the lead with a counter-attack.
"Oh my God! Disastrous performance, the breakthrough level of this No. 99 is really poor, he is like a cramped monkey on the field. Maybe the monkey will do better than him in the jersey. ”
It's not that Bergkamp speaks harshly, but because He Xu didn't have any outstanding performance in the first half except for fouls, plus his first touch caused the opponent's goal, no wonder Bergkamp, who is a diehard Ajax loyalist, said so.
Mi Duo and He Xu stood in the middle circle and prepared to kick off, as if they couldn't wake up, Mi Duo glanced at He Xu, "Boy, why do you seem to be nervous?" ”
He Xu stretched out his hand and pushed down the frame, "Nervous? It won't ...... I'm just thinking about how to celebrate if I score a goal! ”
Middo waited for him to finish, passed the ball to him, and ran up himself. He Xu passed the ball back to Sim de Jong. Delivered his first successful pass.
De Jong was actually very unhappy with his team-mate, because his scurrying like a headless fly in the front court completely affected his passing ideas.
He had to be ready to tell his teammate when he was supposed to be there.
He Xu also seemed to know that his running position was unreasonable, and Suo surnamed Suo retreated to his own half court and participated in the defense with peace of mind.
After watching He Xu's performance, even the fans in the stands couldn't stand it.
They frantically shouted, "Number 99, get off home!" ”
"Hey! Are you an undercover agent for Eindhoven? ”
"That bastard, are you a tease invited by the monkeys?" Well? It doesn't seem like this line should be here.
Compared to Ajax, who were cheered by the fans, PSV Eindhoven were full of momentum after the goal, and they methodically organized wave after wave of attacks that made Koeman's heart extremely nervous.
Just as there were three minutes left in regulation time in the first half, and the fourth official had already begun to look at the time to determine the length of stoppage time, there was another change on the pitch when De Zeou's mistaken pass was cut off by Ngral's outstretched foot.
After the break, Ngral looked up and then passed the ball to the feet of the retreating Toivonen, the Swedish centre-forward who often dropped back with precision to make the Ajax defence uncomfortable.
Vertonghen, who had just leaked so much that he had lost the ball, pressed up nervously, and at the moment when he rushed to Toivonen, Toivonen poked his toes, and the ball drilled past his feet and rolled into the penalty area.
However, the referee did not blow the whistle, and the one-on-one Lens shot with his left foot, the ball was extremely fast, and Stekelenburg could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the goal from his own hand again.
"It's offside! It's an offside goal! Why didn't the referee blow it? "Bergkamp in the studio was already furious.
Koeman, who was on the sidelines, also had to stand up and put pressure on the linesman.
'Let's look at the defence again, it's clearly an offside goal. Bergkamp said.
However, when the return defense was broadcast, he opened his mouth wide and stopped talking.
It looked like the ball was caught offside by Lens, who received the ball the moment he passed the ball.
However, it's just like, because if you look closely, you can see that Ajax has one more person at the end, a position about three meters away from Lens, just enough for him to receive the ball without being offside, and without posing any defensive threat to him.
appeared in this sad position, which happened to be He Xu, who was actively defending......
"Is this number 99 the twelfth person in Eindhoven? He ...... "Thinking that he was in the studio, Bergkamp controlled it for a long time before swallowing the word "fuck" back into his stomach.
Subsequently, he had to take into account his current identity and said against his will: "This goal is not offside, the timing is very accurate, it is a good ball." In fact, his heart has begun to greet the rookie He Xu.;
