Chapter 59 Contest

Zhang Jun stood in the player channel, beside Eindhoven's players. He felt that he was really destined to be with Eindhoven, and he met three times a season. The first time he tied, he scored his first goal in the professional league. The second time was the semi-finals of this Dutch Cup. The third time was the league after two rounds, and they will face the visiting Eindhoven at home.

Half a year ago, he and Yang Pan caught each other off guard as a surprise weapon. Half a year later, they are already a solid member of the team's main lineup, and there have been obvious changes in the opponent's lineup. Now only one of the two Koreans is Lee Rong Piao, who can still be on the court. Park Ji-sung has become a substitute because he has too many good players in his position and has problems with his personal condition. This makes Zhang Jun sigh that things are impermanent.

In addition, Eindhoven also has a young player who is very popular after the winter break, the 18-year-old Dutch left midfielder Robben. With excellent skills, flexible movements and accurate passes, he has been hailed as one of the best midfielders in the Netherlands. Van der Mead, Van der Fate, and a Reuben, the Dutch midfielder star seems to have a blowout, and three world-class midfielders emerge at once.

After Zhang Jun recovered from his injury, he only practiced with the team for three days. Adriansey arranged for him to play was a double-edged sword, and the risk was quite high. But what made him willing to take such a big risk?

Since the team accidentally eliminated Breda and entered the semi-finals, Adriansey has been considering a problem for two weeks. The current situation is to give up the cup, play the league in the last two months with peace of mind, and strive to achieve good results so as to make relegation worry-free? Or should we strive to fight for every cup at the cost of worrying about the final relegation, bring the team the only possible trophy this season and qualify for the UEFA Cup next season?

This is not the choice to lose the car to protect the coach. However, seeing Zhang Jun appear on the starting list, you should know Adriansse’s choice, right?

As he said to Rice before, life is a gamble. Who can guarantee that he can always be invincible? But without high risks, there will be no high returns.

This is Zhang Jun’s third visit to Philips Stadium in Eindhoven. The first time he has been here for a brief trial here, but he was attracted by the current head coach and embarked on his own professional football career. The second time he played here, he scored his first goal and began his journey to fame. This time it was the third time. Can Philips Stadium continue to be Zhang Jun’s blessing?

Regarding this game, the media generally believed that Eindhoven would beat Warrendam. Because Warrendam, who had been fighting fiercely, not only fell into the standings, but also suffered constant injuries in the team. Adriansey could only send more than half of the main players in this game, and several other main players were unable to play, and Herville could only take the game with injuries, and the defense line was almost changed. Veterans Bartre, Reyfra, and captain Holwikin were unable to play. Louis Link, the next captain, naturally brought the captain's armband. When he put on the captain's armband, Zhang Jun was so excited that his hands were trembling. He wore an armband three times before putting on it.

Of course, this game is not without highlights. In fact, the match between Yang Pan and Ruben in the midfield will be very interesting because the position is just right. Both of them are young midfield side assaulters. But the most attractive one is the contest between Zhang Jun and Kaizerman. The duel between the killers is the fourth in the league scorer list, and the other is the first in the scorer list. The duel between these two will be as eye-catching as the gladiator in the ancient Colosseum.

Keserman has maintained the top scorer ranking in the Netherlands Super League as always, but he can already feel the threat from the pursuers behind him. Especially Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun showed amazing form and goal efficiency in his first professional season. When he scored Eindhoven's first goal, no one would have thought that his appearance would change almost the entire Netherlands Super League.

Kaiserman also paid special attention to this Chinese striker who is as tall as him. In the last time, the two scored one goal each, but he wasted a lot of opportunities, while Zhang Jun seized an opportunity to make him who he is now. In terms of capturing opportunities, he seemed to be inferior to him... I don't know what kind of sparks they will arouse in this game. During the interview with the reporter before the game, he showed a mutual appreciation attitude: "No, of course I hope Eindhoven won. But he (Zhang Jun) is a very excellent striker. As long as he is on the court, he will cause great trouble to the opponent's defense line. His injury has just recovered now, and this may be the only thing we can use. Goal? Haha, I can definitely score, but it's hard to say... But I hope he will never score!" Kaiserman laughed, and could see that he was full of confidence, but he was also a little worried about Zhang Jun's goal-scoring ability.

Eindhoven fans breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Zhang Jun's volley in the penalty area was saved from the baseline by goalkeeper Watres. His agile reaction and excellent positioning choice made him incredibly save Zhang Jun's powerful shot. He deserves to be the best goalkeeper in the Dutch league.

However, Warren Dam seemed to use this shot to announce to the owner that he was not here to "study and learn". Since he had already entered the semi-finals, there was no reason to give up easily. Just five minutes into the game, the visiting team Warren Dam won a corner kick.

"Zhang Jun is in good condition today!" said the commentator who was responsible for broadcasting the cup. "It's impossible to tell at all that his leg injury has just recovered."

"I hope he can cause trouble for Eindhoven." The judge continued, "If you beat Eindhoven, it would be a big upset!"

The corner kick was taken, and the ball was pushed out of the sideline by Eindhoven central defender Hoflander. The ball was thrown out again. Bayes, who was inserted, hit too well and was easily caught by Watres.

Ruben broke through Koning, who was injured in substitute, and was intercepted by Yang Pan who followed him. The first time the two met Yang Pan won. After getting the ball, Yang Pan took the ball forward and made a light trip. Vogel thought he had to break through again by speed, so he quickly moved back two steps. But Yang Pan passed the ball diagonally on the left, Herville inserted it at high speed, and removed the ball beautifully, and Warren Dam counterattacked!

Zhang Jun naturally ran towards the opponent's penalty area and prepared to take the shot. Hofland learned the lesson of his first fight and stuck it up like a shadow, and never dared to underestimate this Chinese again.

Oyjar began to force Heville. But Heville passed the ball before he forced him. Kozeel, who was inserted, received the ball, adjusted slightly, and passed the ball to the right. Li Rongpiao did not dare to neglect and chased back desperately because Yang Pan had already inserted from his side at high speed. His speed was enough to make Eindhoven's entire defense line frightened.

Yang Pan still grabbed the ball before Li Rongpyo. He passed the ball into the penalty area first, and the football rolled into the penalty area quickly on the turf.

Zhang Jun exerted his strength and rushed forward slanted. Hofland was distracted by Yang Pan's breakthrough. When he realized that Zhang Jun had already surpassed him half a position. In desperation, he could only reach out to pull Zhang Jun's clothes, but he was also smart. He pulled it quickly and immediately let go.

But for Zhang Jun, who was about to shoot, this pull made him deviate from the target. He fell to the ground and shot with a shovel! He stabbed the football in front of the goalkeeper, but the ball hit the post and then bounced back to the terrifying goalkeeper's arms.

Within twenty minutes, Zhang Jun made Eindhoven fans raise their hearts to their throats twice, but this was also the best opportunity for Warren Dam in the whole first half. In the remaining time, Eindhoven showed his strong team character and surrounded the visiting team's goal and bombarded the crowd.

Kaizerman was also in a state of rage. He completed three shots in five minutes. If Louis Link hadn't saved two goals, Warren Dam would have fallen behind.

Fans at Philips Stadium began to shout Kaizerman's name in unison, hoping that their top scorer would win the team. Kaizerman also lived up to expectations and scored a lead at the end of the first half.

When Ruben faced Yang Pan, he chose to fight one-on-one. He was naturally no match for speed, but in terms of foot skills, he was still confident that he would not lose to Yang Pan. After a wonderful fake move, he immediately accelerated in a direction change. Yang Pan turned around and chased, but slipped under his feet and fell to the ground. He watched Ruben easily pass through Koning, who was four years older than him, and then crossed!

This time, Louis Link could no longer stop Keserman. The opponent kicked a powerful ejection from five meters away, and the football flew into the goal from Westlop!

Lead 1:0! Eindhoven leads Warren Dam at home! Keserman's goal! Philips Stadium is in full swing!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!Kaiserman!!"

"He really fulfilled his promise before the game and would score a goal! I wonder if he can help the team win?"

Kaizerman took off his shirt and waved it in his hand. This goal was very easy for him and he didn't need to run wildly to celebrate.

When Kaiserman scored, Zhang Jun was ten meters behind him. He clearly saw Kaiserman penetrated from behind Louis Link, then raised his left foot to eject, and swung his calf vigorously. The ball was very fast, and Westlop would not react at all. He is worthy of being the No. 1 shooter in the Holland Super League.

Zhang Jun clenched his fists. He was always used to finding a goal to surpass himself, otherwise he would not know if he could play one game after another. In this game, he also found a goal - the 23-year-old Yugoslav international, Kaiserman, and the best scorer in the Netherlands Super League, was his goal.

During the break, Adrianser felt the pressure. He made some adjustments, reduced one defender, added one midfielder, and changed the formation to 451. This move is designed to strengthen the midfield defense, and at the same time, the double midfielder can liberate Kozer and play his accurate pass characteristics when counterattacking quickly.

At the beginning of the second half, Hiddink did not make any personnel adjustments, and he was happy about the players' performance in the first half. After all, it is no longer appropriate for Warren Dam to describe it as a dark horse.

But unexpectedly, Yang Pan received a long pass from Kozeel in the counterattack and ran wildly. Li Rongpyo accidentally sprained his right foot in the competition with him, and was completely left behind by Yang Pan.

Kozel's long pass, Yang Pan, Herville, and Zhang Jun counterattack with speed has become Warrendam's most commonly used offensive method. Zhang Jun and Herville immediately ran to attract the attention of Eindhoven's defender and created the time and space required for Yang Pan to shoot.

This move is very effective. It often makes the defenders lose sight of the other, and hesitate in the ever-changing offensive and defensive transformation, and fall into a passive state. Yang Pan ran all the way, kicking the ball twenty meters away from the goal. At this time, the defender closest to him was still five meters away.

Yang Pan roared lowly, and the football flew out from under his feet like a cannonball, bringing up a piece of grass chips.

Goalkeeper Watres jumped out almost as Yang climbed up and shot the ball, punching the ball with both boxing, trying to hit the ball out. But the football rubbed against the tip of his fist, and still hit the bottom edge of the crossbar and bounced into the goal!

In just five minutes in the second half, Warren Dam equalized the score! This was really beyond everyone's expectations! Yang Pan once again proved his terrifying right foot strength to people.

"Yang-Pan! Beautiful goal! Warren Dam tied the score!"

"The computer is counting the speed of the shot just now... The result is! God! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! One hundred and twenty-three kilometers per hour! World wave!" Two commentators yelled in the live broadcast room like crazy.

Yang Pan, who scored the goal, stood there and rushed towards Eindhoven in the stands and yelled: What is home court? Letting you lose at home is what I want to see the most!

A goal was killed by two birds with one stone, and then the injured Li Rongpiao was replaced. Hiddink had to replace the left back Boma who was still suffering from a cold. Originally, Boma had a cold before the game, and Hiddink only put him on the bench for the league championship, but he didn't expect it to be useful. This is also a helpless move. The competition for the league championship is getting fiercer, and a slight mistake may lead to a loss in the whole game. Hiddink really didn't want to do it, but he was unwilling to give up the cup.

Boma's speed can effectively curb Yang Pan's attack, but under Yang Pan's threat, he could not go forward to attack, and the game between the two sides then reached a deadlock.

Zhang Jun kicked the ball out of the world with a big foot. Now he is almost a midfielder. He has not shot once in a dozen minutes. Is this still a center? The team is very passive, and he himself is also passive. His injury is just right, and his condition is not yet 100%, and it almost seems to have disappeared in the game. Defense is not his strength, but because of the situation on the court, he has to retreat to the front of the penalty area to defend. But it is obvious that he has a very difficult time facing Van Bomel and Kezerman's repeated bombings.

Seeing that he could not take much advantage on the left, Ruben began to move closer to the middle. It was obvious that he also regarded Zhang Jun, who was weak in defense, as a good breakthrough point.

Ruben changed direction to the middle of the wing, got rid of Yang Pan's interference, and then passed the ball diagonally in the penalty area. Zhang Jun was on the passing route. The quality of the ball was not high, so Zhang Jun just needed to drive it out with a big foot to resolve the crisis.

Zhang Jun swung his right foot and swung it vigorously... The kick was empty! The football rolled over under his feet!

Kozel and Louis Link were stunned. Obviously, they didn't expect Zhang Jun to make such a mistake. The two watched the ball pass to Kaiserman in the penalty area.

Kaizerman was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately adjusted his ankle and knocked the incoming ball in. At the same time, he took a big step and shot hard with his left foot!

Westlop, who was hasty, failed to seal the angle in time, and the football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the net!

"The ball hits... the ball is scored! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Kezeman's second goal! Eindhoven leads again! Zhang Jun made an unforgivable mistake! There are only ten minutes left in the game. Judging from the current situation, Eindhoven has certainly advanced!"

After scoring the goal, Kaizerman turned his head to look at Zhang Jun outside the penalty area. He was looking at the football inside the goal blankly. A fatal mistake... Kaizerman turned his head and waved his fists to the coach's seat. Behind him were teammates swarming in.

Ten minutes left, the score was 2:1. Eindhoven led the visiting Warrendam at home with two goals from Keserman. Zhang Jun's unexpected mistake almost ruined the entire team. In the remaining ten minutes, can they tie the score or even overtake? What will Zhang Jun perform? Is his confrontation with Keserman at a disadvantage?

No one would know, even Zhang Jun himself. His leg injury had just recovered. He shouldn't have played this game, but Adriansey needed to win and he was eager for the game, so he finally stood on the court. After the team doctor checked him, he asked him if he really wanted to play. He thought about it and nodded affirmatively. He didn't know if his choice was right, because of his mistake. If he didn't play, he wouldn't concede the goal... But can he escape if he was already standing on the court? As long as the head coach didn't replace him for a minute, he would have to hold on for a minute.
