Chapter 9: On the Bench
Maybe the Dutch uncle's words played a role, that night, Li Feng was not so nervous that he lost sleep, and also slept for 10,000 years since coming to the Netherlands, and had a very wonderful dream, in which Li Feng became the core of the team, leading Volendam to defeat an opponent with one.
When Li Feng washed up in the morning and went to the club, Li Feng clearly felt the fiery changes around him, the streets were full of fans wearing Volendam jerseys, and even some people had begun to gather and walk towards the stadium, it was clear that after a few months of off-season, the fans could not wait to explode their desire for the game.
"Hey~~~ Wind, will you play in today's game?" The fans who were familiar with Li Feng suddenly shouted.
"I don't know this, it depends on what our head coach means" Li Feng replied helplessly, "Okay, if you want to play, I will keep an eye on you, if there is any serious mistake on the field, I will go to De Jong's house to take you out and beat you" said this is a fierce middle-aged man
"Hey~~~ man, are you sure you can beat me?" Li Feng showed off his biceps, and said with a disdainful expression, "Hahaha~~~ That's it, Horst, did you win the game?" The fans around couldn't help but coax, don't look at Horst as a big man with a fierce face, but everyone in a real town knows that he can be known as a good person.
Because of the system, all the muscles on Li Feng's body can be described as perfect, and the most important thing is that such a perfect body is simply practiced by him, and it is all attached to the system, and it is estimated that he will cry to death those men who are desperately strong in order to maintain their figure.
After the laughter of "Volendam~~~ victory", the group of fans stopped stopping Li Feng and shouted slogans and walked towards the stadium, while Li Feng continued to jog and left the club.
An hour later, the Volendam Veronica Stadium, 6200 years old, the stadium was full, except for a small patch of blue and white, the entire stadium was a sea of orange and yellow, and Volendam's players had already entered the home team's dressing room, and at this moment the players were making final preparations.
"Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang, guys, this is our first game back in the first division, you know what I want, what the 6000 fans at home want, and now I ask you, what do you want?" Adlar asked, pulling the player's gaze to himself.
"Victory~~~" Everyone shouted in unison and replied, "Very good~~~ Our goal is the same, now buddy, let's go to battle" Finally, Adelar took a big hand, "Victory~~~" Captain Hilde yelled all his life and began to leave the locker room with the main players.
Van Hoeven/Konyn/Hield/Helden/Bakens/Butz/Smit/De Langer/Majors/Van Sanen/Dubie, Volendam's main lineup, while the substitute seven, Perus/Yildiz/Maynard/Li Feng//Valenta/Van Dijk/Narsinger, Li Feng entered the squad for the game.
On the 28th, at this time, Li Feng's jersey number was used for his birthday, the coaches of the two sides shook hands, and then each returned to their benches, and with the referee's whistle, the Volendam VS Heerenveen match officially began.
"Welcome to this game, I'm the commentator of this game, Mullen, of course I can't finish the commentary alone, so I invited a friend, I'm sure Volendam fans will never be strangers, Wim Jonk, Volendam's famous name, let us warmly welcome Wim"
"Hahaha~~~ Thank you, friends, from today onwards, for the rest of the season, I will be commenting on every game of our Volendam" With the appearance of Wim Jonker, Volendam's bar resounded with bursts of cheers, Wim Jonk, a famous Volendam academy player.
Played for Ajax, Inter Milan, PSV Eindhoven and other giants, "Haha~~~ Wim, let's take a look at Volendam's lineup," Mullen looked at the list and said, "Well~~~ Volendam's main plastic surgery is not much different from last season, the only difference is the departure of the veteran midfielder last season and the arrival of Paul,"
"Oh~~~ Look at what I see?" Mullen cried out as if he had discovered some new world, "Man, can you be quiet, my eardrums are about to be shattered by you," Jonk exaggerated as he covered his ears.
"Wim, just look at Volendam's bench," Mullen said.
"Chinese players? Volendam has a Chinese player, if I'm not mistaken, the second Chinese player to appear in the Eredivisie," Mullen said straight before Jonker could react.
"I have a bit of an impression that in 2006, there was a brief appearance of a Chinese player in the PSV Eindhoven team," Jonk recalled, "haha~~ yes, this is very rare," Mullen laughed.
"Li Feng~~ Nationality: Chinese, born on May 28, 1988, plays in the midfield position, joined the team on June 1, 2008, no matter what, let's welcome the arrival of this Chinese young man" Mullen read Li Feng's only official information.
The game came to twenty-five points, Volendam took the lead to break the deadlock, Butz broke the ball and handed it to Smit, Smit took the ball into the half, and then handed it to De Lange, the football did not stay at De Lange's feet, and with a gentle push, the football came to the feet of Vice Captain Van Sanen, at this moment Duby leaned on the Heerenveen defender with his strong body, Van Sanenen was not greedy, and passed the ball to Dubie's feet.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"That's Volendam's tactic, the veteran Butz's break is immediately called up front, and then their striker finishes the game, which allowed Volendam to win the Eredivisie last season, and Duby was named top scorer with 26 goals."
At the moment when Duby scored, the whole stadium was boiling, and the players on the bench rushed to the sidelines, Li Feng was no exception, and everything he did was so natural, of course, Li Feng, who was in it, did not find anything wrong.
After that, the game went in an orderly manner, and there were no goals in the entire first half, Volendam relied on Duby's goal to go into the break 1-0, and 15 minutes later, Li Feng appeared on the bench, the referee blew the whistle, and the second half began again.
Just five minutes into the second half, Heerenveen equalised when the goal came from centre-forward Gerard Sborne, the 33-year-old, who proved his legacy with a powerful header.
Just five minutes after the first goal, Heerenheim came back from behind their Norwegian midfielder, Christian Grindenheim's long-range shot, and as Norway international and the heart of Heerenheim's midfield, Grindelheim showed their worth.
"Adlar has to make a change," looking at the head coach of Volendam Jonker, looking from leading to being overtaken, "Yes~~~ Only ten minutes into the second half, Heerenveen has already completed the overtake, Volendam does not make a change, and Volendam will be greeted with a painful faux pas," Mullen nodded in agreement.
At this time, Adlar also knew that he could not do this, and a few minutes later, he replaced Majors with Narsinger and replaced Smit with Van Dijk ten minutes later, and played four-three-three.
In the 80th minute, Volendam scored, the young winger on loan from AZ Alkmaar used his pace to tear apart Heerenveen's defence and help Volendam equalise" Mullen shouted throughout the live room.
"I want to play," looking at Narsingh who was celebrating with his goal, Li Feng's heart flashed with a hint of envy, how he wished that he was running on the pitch at this moment.
However, Narsinger's goal did not lead to a draw for Volendam, who came off the bench to wait for young winger Billens Roy to score a late goal for Heerenveen to make it 2-3 as the home team was in front of them, and Volendam lost their first Eredivisie game.
Li Feng sat on the bench for 90 minutes, facing the first game of his career as a spectator, the first defeat.
