Entering mid-March, the No.20 Eredivisie's six rounds have all come to an end, and both the championship and relegation have entered the final intense stage.All the Dutch media focused on Waiters.Waiters has successfully stirred up the traditional three-legged pattern this season.The entire Eredivisie is waiting to see how dark this big black horse can be.
Go black to the end, copy the miracle of Fox City?Or was the stamina insufficient at the last moment, and the success fell short?
Most people hope it's the former.
A new king's ascension to the throne will always attract fans more than a glorious defeat.Waiters' performance this season, frankly, deserves a happy ending.
As for the remaining ten rounds of the schedule, the difficulty levels of the top four teams are not much different.In the next round, Waiters will challenge third-ranked Eindhoven in an away game, and will have a final battle with Feyenoord in the closing stage.In addition, it is difficult for other opponents to pose a threat to Waiters.
In the current situation in the standings, Feyenoord ranks first with 18 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss with 61 points, Waiters has the same points but a goal difference and ranks second, Eindhoven ranks third with 56 points, and Ajax ranks fourth with 55 points.
The No.20 seven rounds of Eredivisie will start this weekend.The focus of the battle between Waiters and PSV will set the tone for the championship throughout the season.Eindhoven must win in order to continue to retain the hope of the championship, and the point difference between the losses has been stretched to 8 points, completely losing the initiative to compete for the championship.Once the two sides draw, the top Feyenoord and No.4 Ajax are likely to take the opportunity to reap the benefits.
For both sides, it is a game that cannot even be tied.
In the eyes of many Eredivisie experts, the team in the entire Eredivisie that is most likely to prevent Waiters from continuing to break through is PSV Eindhoven.Not even leaders Feyenoord.
Why?Many experts are still old-fashioned, presenting data to make sense.
Eindhoven has only conceded 26 goals in 18 league rounds so far, which is the team with the fewest goals conceded in the entire Eredivisie. Philip Cocu's extremely aggressive close-pressing defense is unique in the entire Eredivisie.In the past two seasons, Eindhoven also had the best performance against Vitesse among the top three in the Eredivisie.Except for the quarter-finals of the Dutch Cup last season, they have never lost at the league level.
And the most important point is that Eindhoven's current midfielder Tiezha Liangxin is currently the only Eredivisie player who can effectively limit Wen Zhihao one-on-one.
Wen Zhihao scored 26 goals in the past 11 rounds, ranking among the top three scorers.Liang Xin takes the lead in the most critical stealing data of midfielders, with an average steal success rate of more than 2.0% per game, which is almost a world-class defensive midfielder.The Eindhoven media dubbed him "the future version of Gattuso [-]", because Liang Xin's long pass is also excellent.
Before the focus of this round of league matches, Waiters first played a key battle with Rostov in the Russian Super League in the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals in the middle of the week.Fraser did not keep it for the league, and still played with all the main players.However, Waiters' own goal did not help, and he continuously rejected the must-goals of Wen Zhihao and Castagno.
A goalless draw left various possibilities for the second round, and at the same time ensured that Waiters would not be distracted before the focus of the game.
The focus battle between the two sides is imminent.At this time, the national team is unwilling to be lonely to join in the fun.The Chinese Football Association officially announced the squad for the two top twelve games at the end of March.Liang Xin, who has performed well throughout the season in the Eredivisie, replaced Cai Huikang, who had no chance to play under Lippi, and was shortlisted together with Wen Zhihao and Zhang Yuning, becoming the third player in the Eredivisie to be selected for Lippi's national team.
……
After Wen Zhihao arrived in Eindhoven with the team, he devoted himself to the final stage of training. He didn't contact Liang Xin once, but Liang Xin sent a picture of a big fist through WeChat. He didn't say much, and directly declared war from a distance.
Before the game, Chinese reporters who came from afar to report on the game interviewed the two players separately.Both parties are very happy to be teammates in the national team, but now each is in charge, so naturally they have to go all out.Moreover, the first round of the fight was generally close to equal, and there was a slight dissatisfaction between the words of both sides.
Such a statement satisfied all reporters. A classic duel often starts with various dissatisfaction.
In this game, the number of Waiters' expeditionary force was unprecedentedly large.The Philips Stadium, the venue of the competition, has an attendance rate of nearly 3 people, and nearly one-third of them are from Waiters' expeditionary force.In the weekend games, as long as there are fans with a little more affection, who wouldn't want to witness the battle of their beloved team with their own eyes?
CCTV's forward reporting team came to their own commentary booth early, and the camera showed the exterior of the Philips Stadium. He Wei could no longer control his inner anticipation.
"This is the Philips Stadium, where the second round of the Eredivisie China Derby will be held later. Both Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin have national football status. Before they become teammates of the national team, they must first compete with each other as opponents."
With the confrontation between the two Chinese players, some Chinese fans have to worry about standing in the team again.After thinking about it, I finally decided to return to the basics and enjoy the fun of football itself. I hope that both sides will contribute a wonderful game.
After the two sides have played against each other many times, they can be regarded as knowing each other's fundamentals, directly avoiding the trial link, and fighting against each other as soon as they come up.The fast-paced offense and defense can maximize Wen Zhihao's strong assault ability in running. In the first few minutes, Wen Zhihao ran to the forward position many times, and the original 4-3-3 formation actually evolved into a 4-2-4.Waiters' quartet up front put a lot of pressure on PSV's defense.
However, Eindhoven can only concede 0.7 goals per game this season, so the defensive end is naturally unique.Philippe Cocus simply left Sime de Jong to contain the players behind Waiters, and the others all recovered. The fast Luc de Jong was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack on the front line.
Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin have had several direct conversations in these few minutes.Liang Xin's defensive ability is indeed strong, and he has also studied Wen Zhihao thoroughly. Knowing how fast Wen Zhihao's fake moves are, he only focuses on intercepting the ball on the possible route of the ball.
The first climax of the game came in the 13th minute. Wen Zhihao passed the ball to Fan Xiaolang from the front of the penalty area with his heel to form a single goal. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Zouter, Fan Xiaolang chose a sure-fire half-high shot.The Waiters fans in the stands behind the goal and Fan Xiaolang himself hadn't raised their hands above their heads, opened their mouths, and hadn't made a sound from their throats. A leg appeared on the flight path of the ball. The ball was half a second away from flying into the goal, but it was blocked by this leg on the goal line.Then I saw a red No. 8 falling into the goal in embarrassment, with the right foot of the tackle hanging on the net.
"Oh!" Waiters fans' ready cheers turned into regrets, and everyone held their heads in pain and asked God why he suddenly repented and killed their goal.
The live anchor of Eindhoven Sports Radio shouted excitedly: "Goal line clearance! From the best No. 8 player in the Eredivisie this season, China Liang! At this moment, he is God's special envoy and saved Eindhoven!"
Wen Zhihao ran over to pull Liang Xin who was trapped in the goal. The moment the two looked at each other closely, apart from a smile on the corner of their mouths, their eyes were full of desire for victory.
