Chapter 7 First Team
2oo8 is a big sports year. A month after the end of the European Cup, the Beijing Olympics came one after another. As a Chinese, Li Feng is naturally not unfamiliar with this Olympics. Of course, he is not very familiar with them. Li Feng did not like those sports in his previous life, so he almost didn't pay attention to the Olympics. ◎ ?№ №?
Li Feng, who has experienced it again, is even more unaware of it. It is not that Li Feng is unpatriotic. On the contrary, he has always been proud of being a Chinese, but he is really not interested in it. Those so-called Olympic events were extremely boring when he saw them. Now he has a grand life goal. In addition, he is far away in Europe, so he will not waste time on things he doesn't like.
With the opening of the Olympics, the time has come to August, and the players of Volendan have already returned from vacation. Although the Dutch League started late, the training time is almost the same as other leagues. After all, physical fitness needs to be adjusted before the season to prepare for the upcoming season.
From June to August, during these two months, Li Feng's progress was amazing, and even alarmed the team's head coach Adlar. After all, his 105-point attribute and talent throughout the game were not given in vain. All Li Feng lacked was experience and foundation.
After two months of crazy training and the small training that Volk and De Jong gave him, Li Feng quickly made up for this flaw. Although he dare not say that he is comparable to professional players, he is much better than those little guys than young people. Therefore, after the team started training, Volk head coach Adlar reached an agreement to bring Li Feng to the first team.
Li Feng finally met the so-called real professional player. There are many front-line personnel in Furendan. In addition, Li Feng has a total of 28 people, two of whom were loaned from other clubs. One of them was a winger who was the same age as Li Feng, from the Dutch Eredivisie Alkmar, named Narsinger, and the other was the attacking midfielder Dominic Van Dijk from the Progress Eagles in the Dutch Second Division.
The core player of Volendan is their center Jack Dolby. Dolby is 186 tall and weighs 78 kilograms. The strong Dolby is a typical center. Last season, the reason why Volendan won the Dutch second championship, Dolby made an indelible contribution. He scored 26 goals in 35 games and was the best scorer in the Dutch second.
The captain of the Forendan team is two young players, both of whom are the team's youth training. The captain's main central defender, Eni Hilder, who is only 24 years old, and the deputy captain is Clegg Vansaning, a front midfielder who is several months younger than Hild.
The two are of the same age, train together, and then transferred to the first team together, and also gained a foothold in the first team together. In the end, Adlar was appointed as the team's new captain this season. It has to be said that Volendan is not only young as the captain, but also the age structure of the entire team is also very young.
There are only two players in the entire team over 30 years old, namely the team's main midfielder, 33-year-old veteran Mathieu Butz and 31-year-old substitute goalkeeper Hamanku Perlus. After several days of familiarity, Li Feng found that only veteran Boots was the only midfielder. Regarding this news, Li Feng said that it was impossible to be unhappy. ◎ ?◎ �
Because this indicates that he will get a lot of opportunities. For example, in the next training, Li Feng was arranged to replace the main midfielder of the bench, but the result was not ideal, because Li Feng and the veteran are not the same type of midfielder. Veteran Butz is a traditional engineer-type midfielder who is responsible for intercepting and stealing and destroying the opponent's offense. The team's organization is completely handed over to Delanger and Fan Saning in front of him.
Li Feng is completely opposite to him. Li Feng is a technical midfielder. He needs to have the ball in his hand and control the rhythm of the ball to fully play his role. On the substitute, he has always been the job of Czech midfielders Vita Valenta and Van Dijk. Valenta was the only non-Dutch player on the team before Li Feng came. After Li Feng arrived, since both of them were foreigners, the relationship was relatively good.
The steal attributes are good in defense, but the corresponding targets are simply impossible to look directly at, so it is completely incomparable to veterans in destroying offense.
The head coach used Butz's skills and tactics to demand Li Feng, so Li Feng naturally could not do it like Butz, so he has always performed poorly in the practice game. It cannot be said that there are many loopholes. In fact, it is certain that there are fifty loopholes. After all, his 12-point steal attribute was not for nothing.
Adlar called Li Feng to the side more than once to give a lecture, but it was hard to cook without rice. The attributes were there, and Li Feng could not meet the requirements of the head coach. Since then, Li Feng also clearly realized that his defensive attributes could only bully young guys at most. Facing the real professional league, it was really not enough.
Fortunately, Li Feng was only twenty years old and young enough. With his 12-point stealing attribute and good physical fitness, Adlar did not have the idea of finding someone to replace Li Feng. Of course, the most important thing is that there is no one to replace Furendan at all, and the previous failure to introduce is the best proof.
In a blink of an eye, Volendan ushered in the first intentional game. His opponent was only a semi-professional regional team. Volendan exited with the main lineup. Goalkeeper Van Hovin/guard from left to right are /Konin/Hilder/Helden/Bakkens, and the five midfielders are Boots/Smit/Dlanger/Maygers/Van Saning, and forward Jack Durby.
Facing the regional league, Volendan was playing 4:0 in a 4:0 game, and Li Feng also made a substitute in the last ten minutes of the second half, but he had no performance. He could only say that after a round of the court, Khan ended without much competition. However, after another friendly match three days later, Li Feng's performance made Adlar curse.
He was also a semi-professional team that has always been a regional league. The final result was 3:2. Although he won the game, the team's performance was not as good as the Dutch highest league team. Li Feng played all over the game, but his performance was terrible. The opponent's two goals were almost all Li Feng's responsibility.
The first goal was that Li Feng did not snatch it in time, which made the opponent calmly kick and scored a 35-meter world wave. The second goal was even Li Feng's steal, who was too greedy for the ball and did not snatch the ball in time, and was snatched on the spot, thus forming a single shot. Faced with such an opponent, such a mistake, even in an insignificant friendly match, it was enough for Adlar to be furious, not to mention that Li Feng is now the only substitute in the team's midfielder position.
Time will not stop because of a certain person. Just like Li Feng cannot change his attributes at this moment. The only way Li Feng can do is to train hard. Although he cannot increase his attributes, he can at least leave a good impression on the head coach. Therefore, he gave him the next day. Li Feng calmed down and trained with a more diligent attitude than before.
In order to avoid the mistakes like the previous game, Li Feng did not dare to control the ball at his feet anymore. Every time he got the ball, he would never let the ball be at his feet for five seconds. Therefore, during the next few days of training, Li Feng did not stick to the ball but made the head coach nod secretly.
Three more days passed, and Volendan ushered in the third friendly match, from another giant team in the Eredivisie, Eindhoven. However, it was not Eindhoven's first team, but the reserve team. The home team was in front and the away team behind, and Volendan ushered in the first defeat.
This loss seemed to open the door to the consecutive loss of the friendly match between Volendan. In the following three games, Volendan lost all the opponents, namely Villarreal, one of the three giants in the Eredivisie, Feyenoord, and a Dutch second team, who ended the friendly match with a four-game losing streak.
