Chapter 52: The Final Four of the Dutch Cup

February is not a good memory for Volendam, in the blink of an eye, the time has come to March, the league has only two months left, the league has come to the twenty-fifth round, Volendam also ushered in a new opponent.

On the afternoon of March 1, Volendam played Nijmegen at home, after two weeks of rotational rest, this game, Volendam's main squad began to return, even Duby was in good condition, this game was put on the bench by Adlar, and the veteran Butz is more troublesome, the 33-year-old age is the biggest obstacle to the veteran's recovery, and the current injury recovery is not ideal.

Volendam was desperate for a win, and they did, and from the very beginning of the match, Volendam showed their determination to win.

Only five minutes into the opening, Volendam organized two waves of offensives one after another, the initiator was naturally Li Feng, the first wave of Li Feng took the ball to the right De Lange, the latter broke through on the right side, Kenin assisted from behind, and finally De Langenen broke into the bottom line to knock back Koning, Kening crossed the middle, and Van Sanen, who had rested for two games, had already bent his bow and arrow, but unfortunately the most red football flew out of the crossbar.

Two minutes later, Volendam made a comeback, Smit forced Davies to make a mistake, Li Feng took the opportunity to break the ball, this time he split the ball to the left, Bakkens rushed into the Nijmegen half and collided with Majors, who broke through and burst into the box, and the shot was saved by goalkeeper Bacchus to win a corner.

De Langer took the penalty, Hield grabbed the position and flicked the goal, and the ball rolled off the bottom line against the post, and then Volendam played more and more fiercely, and the whole first twenty minutes completely pressed Nijmegen, and it was not until the twenty-second minute that Nijmegen completed the first goal of the game.

Unfortunately, Volendam was unable to score and was unable to break through Nijmegen's goal despite their absolute dominance, and the score was still 0:0 at the end of the first half.

After a short halftime break, in order to strengthen the attack, Adlar made adjustments and replaced Smit with Narsingh, so that Foran's midfield was left with Li Feng, and the lineup became 4132.

Nijmegen also made a change, with their head coach Mario Bain making the exact opposite, removing a striker and replacing it with a defender, preparing to use two defensive midfielders to suppress Li Feng, and the lineup became Christmas Tree 4321.

When it comes to the Christmas tree formation, the first impression is Ancelotti's AC Milan, AC Milan's three world-class midfielders can be called the most perfect combination, Pirlo is responsible for scheduling and organizing, Gattuso is responsible for defensive destruction, Ambrosini assists from the plate, plus the almost god-like Kaka, AC Milan relies on this set of tactics to stand on the top of Europe.

Facing two defensive midfielders alone, he was not as easy as the first half, and with the departure of his helper Smit, he not only had to take on the team's attacking organising, but also needed to be responsible for the protection of the edge of the penalty area.

I have to say that Adlar is a little too optimistic about the current Li Feng, and soon Volendam tasted the bitter fruit for this substitution, and in the fifty-third minute, Nijmegen launched an attack, Lorenzo and the substitute Kiu hit the wall, and Li Feng had nothing to do about it.

Ratger ran to catch the attention of Forlen's defenders, and Fulham loanee Kosling burst into the box after receiving a pass, easily beat Verhoeven van Hoeven's ten fingers, and finally sent the ball into Volendam's goal, and Nijmegen opened the scoring to take a 1-0 lead.

"Obviously, the advantage in the first half made Adlar misjudge, he overestimated his team and underestimated the quality of his opponents, knowing that Nijmegen was above Volendam" Mullen blamed Adlar for the goal conceded.

"Yes, replacing Smit, the wind has to organize the team's offense and defense, which makes him overwhelmed," Wim Jonk said as he looked at Li Feng, who was standing on the court helplessly.

The two commentaries could not affect the situation on the court, and after the game restarted, Nijmegen began to take the initiative, and Li Feng's energy was more focused on defense, after all, now Volendam only has him as a midfielder.

As the game continued, Adlar also spotted his mistake and soon made another change, with Narsinger dropping back and De Langer moving to the midfield to partner Li Feng, barely halting his team's decline and scoring the equaliser in the final moments.

In the face of the two, Li Feng passed the ball to De Lange, you must know that before Li Feng became the core of the team, De Langer was the core of Volendam's midfield.

De Langer immediately burst into Nijmegen half after winning the ball, but Lorenzo stood in front of him, and in the face of Lorenzo's defense, De Langer did not force a breakthrough, but passed the ball to Konin who was inserted from behind, and Konen took a few steps to Nardsinger in front, who took the ball and went straight to the Nijmegen penalty area.

Nijmegen defender Ramon Zommer stepped forward to scramble and was dodged by Narsinger, but Zommer did not give up lightly, and Narsinger, who continued to entangle, hooked Narsinger when he finally scrambled, who took advantage of the situation and fell in the penalty area, and the referee blew a whistle in this game and pointed to the penalty.

Suddenly the players on both sides were excited, Volendam's players were happy, and Nijmegen was angry, they surrounded the referee and tried their best to explain, but the result was self-evident, and how he explained it could not change the facts, and Li Feng just saw that Zommer did hook Narsinger when he scrambled, but looking at the excited and pleading look, it seemed that he really didn't have any fouls, and it was Narsinger himself who fell.

Volendam was in charge of the penalty kick by Duby, and now that Duby is not there, Narsinger wants to take the penalty himself, so he glanced at Li Feng vigilantly, and it is clear that Li Feng had robbed him of a free kick that created Ajax's offer.

However, Narsinger's worries are a little redundant, that big zero, indicating Li Feng's penalty ability, the current Li Feng will not go even if the coach tells him to go up to punish him, as a result, Nersinger achieved it overnight, Volendam finally drew 1:1 at home to Nijmegen, stopping the decline of the losing streak.

After this game, the quarter-finals of the Dutch Cup came, and on March 6, Volendam challenged Roda JC away, and now Roda JC is deep in the relegation zone, currently with only 21 points, ranking 17th in the league.

Not surprisingly, Roda JC, who is aiming for relegation, sent a full bench lineup, Volendam also played all substitutes in order to ensure the physical fitness of the main team, and finally the two sides played 2:2 for 90 minutes, and Li Feng came off the bench in overtime, which was also Li Feng's first time playing in the Dutch Cup, and finally relied on a long pass from Li Feng, Volendam finally won the game 2:3 in overtime.

As a result, Volendam unexpectedly reached the last four of the Dutch Cup, with the remaining three teams being Heerenveen, Breda and FC Twente.
