Chapter 11: Seven Consecutive Defeats
On September 21, Volendam's home stadium, Veronica, could be seen from the faces of the departing fans, Volendam lost again, 1:2, the home team in front, the away team in the back, Volendam ushered in the third defeat of the season, three consecutive defeats at the start of the season, and also gave Twente their first victory of the season.
This time, Li Feng sat for 90 minutes again, looking at his dejected teammates and the iron-faced head coach of the team, Adlar, the head coach who has always put himself in the squad but does not give himself a chance to appear, Li Feng has an indescribable feeling in his heart, that is, he feels sorry for the team's loss, and there is a faint sense of pleasure, hoping that the team will continue to lose.
I have to say that the current Li Feng is not a real professional player, and it can also be seen from here that his professional ethics still need to be improved, and he walked out of the club gate, "Sylvia? Li Feng looked at the tall girl at the door and shouted uncertainly.
"Hey~~~ You can figure it out, if you don't come out, I won't wait for you" It was Uncle De Jong's beautiful daughter Sylvia.
"Are you waiting for me?" Li Feng's head is a little overwhelmed, it is the first time in two lives that he has a beautiful girl waiting for him, although he has no special thoughts about Sylvia, but it is also a very happy thing to be able to make a beautiful girl wait.
"Mom told me to go to the port to buy some fresh seafood, and I happened to pass by here, so I called you," Sylvia explained.
"Okay~~~ It turned out that I was asked to be a coolie, but fortunately I didn't make a mistake" just shook his head and said, "What is a coolie, don't you eat it?" Sylvia retorted.
"Eldest sister, have you ever seen me eat fish?" Li Feng asked, "Eh~~~ Don't you eat fish?" Sylvia glared at Li Feng like a monster, because in Volendam, the most famous thing is smoked fish, and fish is the most common food in the whole town, and since she was a child, she really has never seen anyone who does not eat fish.
"What's so strange about this, I'm from Asia, I'm from China," Li Feng said, "Don't you have any fish in China?" Sylvia curious, "Please, have you ever seen a country without fish in the world?" Li Feng said speechlessly.
"Well, you Chinese are so strange, fish is such a delicious food that you can't eat" Sylvia looked completely incomprehensible.
The two chatted all the way, and unconsciously bought all the things that Verari wanted, fresh fish, sausages, cheese, flour, etc., and when they returned to the door, Li Feng had already carried a few large bags of things in his hand, while Sylvia was holding ice cream in her hand, and walked in front with a relaxed and happy face.
"Wind~~~" Sylvia suddenly turned around and shouted, "Huh? Li Feng replied and looked at the girl who suddenly stopped.
"Although we are now losing three in a row, I believe that we will win soon," Sylvia looked directly at Li Feng and said, "Well~~~ Maybe" Li Feng replied noncommittally.
"Although I don't know what level you are, but I believe that you will get a chance soon, Dad said, you are the hardest working player in the club, I believe that God is fair, and hard-working people will be favored by God after all." With that, Sylvia turned around and ran in without looking back.
"Hehe~~~ was comforted," Silvia is currently studying at the University of Amsterdam, usually does not live at home, only returns on vacation, although the two are familiar, but not close, it is obvious that the reason why she came to comfort Li Feng is estimated to be to accept the request of the Dutch man and Verari, it is obvious that they feel Li Feng's love xรน change, so they called Silvia to comfort him, comparing the two of them are the same age.
"But it's not bad to be comforted by a beautiful woman," Li Feng smiled as he retracted his mood.
A week after the third round of matches, the Eredivisie began its fourth round of journey, Volendam arrived in the fourth largest industrial city in the Netherlands, PSV Eindhoven, and they faced the Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven, but this time Li Feng did not appear in the squad.
In order to seek victory, the head coach Adlar took the initiative to change the formation, giving up the practice of 451 to 433, the goalkeeper and defender remained the same, Van Hoeven/Konen/Hield/Helden/Bakens/, the midfield became Butz/De Langer/Van Sanen, and the forward line was Hofstede/Duby/Narsinger.
Magna Smit was pressed to the bench, compared to Li Feng, Smit was more trusted by the head coach, but in the end Volendam still did not win, 1:0, but although he lost, the scene was not ugly, the score of 1:0 is the best proof, and this game also strengthened Adlar's determination to change the formation.
On October 5th, the Eredivisie came to the fifth round, and the bottom of the table Volendam ushered in a new round of opponents, currently ranked fourth-placed Breda, in recent years, Breda can be described as the most famous spoiler in the Eredivisie, often able to pull down the first few teams, and at the end of the season, Breda ended up in eighth place, or qualifying for the League Cup.
Breda is the same as Volendam, both of them are centered on the team's forwards, Matthew Amosah, an international from Ghana, but the age structure of the team is two extremes with Volendam, in the main squad of Breda, there are six players over the age of 30, and it has always been an out-and-out old guy team.
But it is with these old guys, Breda has made a remarkable result, 2:4, the home team is in front, the away team is behind, the old guys of Breda have taught Volendam's young lads a good lesson, Volendam was suppressed throughout the game, this game proved that the change of formation that Adlar had high hopes for is so vulnerable, this game, Li Feng still did not enter the squad.
Breda rushed into the top three of the standings with the victory in this game, while Volendam ushered in a five-game losing streak, accumulating 0 points, and continuing to be at the bottom of the standings.
The morale of the team is low, especially during training, Li Feng obviously felt the depression and impatience of his teammates, and the training ground that used to smile constantly became silent, but these basically had no effect on Li Feng, in the first few rounds he could still enter the squad and sit on the bench, but in the past two rounds, he didn't even enter the squad.
Then the club ushered in the international break again, but for the Volendam club, there was no change at all, and Adlar had nothing to do about it, in such an atmosphere, Volendam ushered in the sixth round of opponents, visiting the third largest city in the Netherlands, facing the Hague team, Adlar did not make any changes, 433, Adlar did not give up on his change of formation, but the final conclusion slapped Adlar in the face.
2:0, the demoralized Volendam table was a mess, the players were sleepwalking, and they were scored twice in the first half, if it weren't for Adlar in the second half of the timely change of formation, strengthen the defense is estimated to be more than 2:0, and after the end of this game, Volendam has fallen into the abyss.
The head coach Adlar was also called to his office by the club's president, Lucian Nursery, and it took a full hour for Adlar to walk out of the nursery's office, and then the whole club knew that Adelar had given Adlar an ultimatum, two chances, and the last two games, if he could not win, Adlar would become the first manager to be sacked from the Eredivisie.
In the next few days, all the players in Volendam trained in the roar of Adlar, and in the next few days, Li Feng even dreamed of the roar of Adlar when he slept at night, but God seemed to have given up on Adlar, and after the last training session the day before the game, the veteran Butz had a recurrence of his old injury and needed to rest for half a month.
The result is terrible for the team, but it is really good news for Li Feng, as it greatly increases his chances of making his professional debut tomorrow.
On October 26, Volendam visited AZ Alkmaar to challenge the team of Dutch super coach Louis van Gaal, and Li Feng met a real super coach for the first time.
The stark numbers on the scoreboard after 3:0 and ninety minutes foreshadowed Volendam's seventh faux pas, and Li Feng sat back for 90 minutes, and Adlar chose to move Smit's position back without giving Li Feng a chance.
Adlar had come to the edge of the cliff.
