Zhang Jun, who was doing warm-up on the court, unexpectedly found that in a corner of the stands, some special fans appeared. They did not cheer for the home team in orange Dutch jerseys like other Dutch fans, but were wearing white casual clothes and holding the Chinese flag in their hands, cheering for the Chinese team.

They are fans from Warren Dam!

Zhang Jun dared to be so sure because the banner he posed, which read in Chinese and Dutch: "Welcome back, Zhang Jun, Yang Pan!"

Among so many people, he could even see Bo Wang, Uncle Dennis's family, and Seth in Ajax... all of them are familiar faces.

Warren Dam's whole team came, they dressed in plain clothes and sat together. Zhang Jun could still see many people he knew waving to him, sitting next to him was head coach Adriansey and youth team head coach Les.

Zhang Jun was very moved. He played for Warrendam for three years, but he never expected such a day: when the Chinese team played against the Dutch team, as the Dutch people, they could cheer for him and the Chinese team.

This is a great honor for Zhang Jun, an ordinary player.

"What are you looking at? You're so fascinated." Yang Pan laid Zhang Jun's jersey, and he wanted to find Zhang Jun to cooperate with him for shooting.

"Look." Zhang Jun waved to the stands, and he waved more arms and national flags in the stands, "What did you see?" he asked Yang Pan.

Yang Pan was also stunned: "It's them? They actually came too!"

"Say hello to them, they still remember you."

Yang Pan waved to the stands as he spoke. Like Zhang Jun, he responded to him with a large number of waving arms and five-star red flags. Of course, the Chinese flag in their hands is different from the national flags in the hands of Chinese students and overseas Chinese. They printed the avatars of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan on the national flags. Perhaps this is disrespectful in the eyes of many Chinese people, but in the eyes of foreigners, it actually represents the popularity of a player, which is normal.

"Everyone is here." Yang Pan murmured as he looked at the stands.

"Yes." Zhang Jun turned around and hooked the ball over, and then picked it up to Yang Pan. It's time to warm up, so they can't just do nothing and stand on the court to chat.

Yang Pan stopped the ball with his chest and stepped on it: "Zhang Jun, do you know? Actually, sometimes I envy you for staying in Warren Dam for two more seasons than me."

"What's there to envy this? You have two years of experience in Serie A than me, and this year I've adapted to Milan more than me. Pass the ball over." Zhang Jun waved.

"This has nothing to do with Serie A. I really envy you, and I'm not kidding." Yang Pan pushed the ball to Zhang Jun, but ran forward.

"When did it start?" Zhang Jun knew what Yang Pan wanted to do, and he wanted to give An Ke a "surprise". The guy just saved his teammate's shots one after another, and he became a little proud. So he tacitly pushed the ball forward to Yang Pan.

Yang Pan ran a little arc, then kept stopping the ball, and swung the football still rolling on the rolling football with his right foot.

The football drew a less obvious arc and then drilled into the goal beautifully.

"It was when you slipped to Warrendham alone the night before yesterday." Yang Pan turned around and looked at Zhang Jun and said.

Zhang Jun also looked at Yang Pan, thinking that he could understand what Yang Pan said about envy: he had two years of experience in Serie A, but he had two years of happy memories.

An Ke sat foolishly on the ground. Before he was ready, he saw a football suddenly flying from afar. He was instinctively trying to save, but it was still half a beat late. The football flew into the goal above his head.

This goal made him very depressed. He was bragging about how great he was. The Dutch team should not try to take a point from him... and then he was broken by an outsider's goal this day. Poor he didn't know who shot it.

※※※

The players around him were a little excited and pointed at the Chinese team's goal and chattered. The old players were telling the new players that Yang Pan was the one who shot just now. His long shot and speed were very terrifying. Did you see them just now?

Adriance and Rice sat on the side of the team, watching the two former favorites on the court.

When they first came to Warren Dam four years ago, they were still children who knew nothing. It was him and Rice who trained them into qualified professional players.

Now, one is a first-team player from AC Milan, and the other has won the favor of the entire city in Fiorentina, and they have all been selected for the national team.

Qiu, the assistant of that year, also became the head coach of the Chinese team.

These four years passed in the blink of an eye, which made people sigh.

Warren Dam has relegated early this season, and he and Rice can leave without any worries. After all, they are both old.

Qiu, Zhang Jun, Yang Pan... The world will belong to them young people in the future.

※※※

It was enough to have Hu Li bring before the game to warm up, while Qiu Suhui stayed in the locker room to prepare. He drew the starting lineup on the tactical board, and then studied the appearance list of both sides.

Marco indeed arranged a 433 full attack and defense formation, and used a large number of young people. Although those people were not old, they might be very capable. He also changed his formation, and did not use 442 against Spain, but 451, which is mostly new players.

In fact, Qiu Suhui has always been hesitant about whether the Chinese team plays 442 or 451. 442 is a tradition of the Chinese team, but he thinks 451 is more suitable for the current national team.

This problem seems to be resolved before the World Cup.

After considering the game itself, Qiu Suhui sat in the locker room and started running. He could still hear the singing of Dutch fans outside, and Dutch fans who took such a warm-up match so seriously have never lacked passion.

As a Chinese who has lived in the Netherlands for three or four years, this country has left many beautiful memories for him. His friendship with Basten, his relationship with Van Gaal and his teacher-apprenticeship...

In 1984, he saw the level of top European football in the Netherlands, and changed his life from then on. The Netherlands was also the starting point of his coaching career. From here, he began his ten-year wandering career. Finally, he was discouraged and thought that the Netherlands would become the end, but he never thought that the game he saw on a TV broadcast changed his life again.

Zhang Jun also went back to Warrendam to look at it, but no one went to see it because of work. Van Gaal and Adriansey, these two people were his teachers, and it was logical that he should go to see them, even if he sat together and had a drink.

I heard that Adrians will retire after the end of this season, so I will invite him to China to finish playing when I have time. He cares about Chinese food very much. He has been talking about going to China to eat authentic Chinese food in the future, but he has always been just talking. As a student, he should take the initiative to consider him.

Wait, wait for the World Cup...

The door was pushed open by shouting, and Qiu Suhui came to his senses. The lead was Wang Hui, then Zhang Jun, Kru, Li Yongle, Xiang Tao and Wang Yu. He looked at the clock on the wall. The warm-up was over. In another thirty minutes, the game would begin.

When Hu Li and Yang Pan finally came in and closed the door, Qiu Suhui clapped his hands and signaled everyone to calm down.

"This is our starting lineup for today's game." He pointed to the tactical board around him. "We have been practicing offense, set-piece offense, mid-lane offense, side-lane offense, etc. I think many people will have questions during training: Why are attacking like this with the Netherlands before playing against the world-class team, we didn't practice defense, but only practiced offense? Now you understand? In this game, we will play against the Netherlands."

As soon as Qiu Suhui's words came out, they caused a commotion in the locker room.

"Just kidding! Fight against the Dutch team? Then our defense is not sieve yet?" He heard someone muttering like this.

"Odds? Very good! I've wanted to attack with the Dutch team for a long time!" He also heard someone say this.

"Did Qiu Zhi plan to give up this game?"

"Don't talk nonsense! With our team's current strength, defense is not our strength. Even if we shrink all into the 30-meter area, we may not be able to prevent the opponent from scoring. Not only will it be said that if you lose, it will still be ugly. Now, the Netherlands' defense is not good, and we at least have a chance to score."

At least these people know how to use their brains. They are better than he imagined, and they still have made progress. Qiu Suhui thought to himself. He clapped his hands again, asking everyone to stop discussing spontaneously.

"I know that many people are worried about what the defense should do if we attack with the Netherlands. In fact, we don't need to consider the defense too much in this game. The purpose of my arrangement is to see how strong our offensive ability is and whether we can suppress the Netherlands' offense."

As soon as these words were said, many people took a breath: What a big tone!

"Everyone knows the results of the World Cup grouping. We were in the same group with the last champion Brazil team. Many people think this is our misfortune, but I don't think so. As long as we can fight Brazil in the World Championship, there are not many opportunities. This game with the Netherlands is also a rehearsal for the match against Brazil. If we have the strength, we will play against Brazil. If we don't have that strength, we will play defensive counterattack honestly. Everyone understands it? This is also the reason why I will rank 451 and have this lineup. The Netherlands team will play 433. Their midfield lacks thickness. We have five people in the midfield and zhan have the advantage of numbers, but whether the advantage of numbers can be transformed into an advantage in the field depends on your own. We only have one person on the forward line, so the attack point cannot be focused on Zhang Jun. Yang Pan, Kru, Li Yongle, you should also often shoot forward."

"Van Bronkhorst likes assists, and is not very good in defense. Yang Pan, you can seize this point. I think if Basten wants to play all attacks and defenses, the full-back will not be able to not go up to assist. Without Stam, the Dutch team's central defender is not high enough, and this is another opportunity. As for whether to cross or cut in or shoot, you should consider it yourself. Crew, you have to make full use of this game. There is no problem with this game today. Van Bomel is a difficult guy, you have to put it into practice. You have to put it into practice.

He held it down so that he could not take into account the defense against Yang Pan, Li Yongle, and Zhao Pengyu. In addition, assist Zhang Jun. Li Yongle, you help Li Yi on defense, but your most important task in this game is attack. Do you know? Just like you did ten minutes after the second half of the game against Spain, mobilized the entire Chinese team. With Krue in front of you, the defensive pressure you face will not be very high. I think Basten doesn't know you, this is your opportunity."

"I asked Zhao Pengyu to start because he was very fast and needed to rely on this speed to cause trouble for the Dutch right defense. As for Xiang Tao, No. 7 Castrom on your way, it is said that he is the fastest player in the entire Eredivisie. Since he was selected for the national team last year, the right winger has always been his position as apart from injuries. He has excellent dribbling, and the speed is fast, so the pressure in this game is no less than the previous game, so as to whether you assist, I will not make any arrangements, you can judge it yourself based on the situation on the field."

Xiang Tao said oh, but he had already made up his mind. In the last game against Spain, because there was a lot of Hua Jin in that way, Qiu Zhi didn't let him assist, but he was so suffocated. Since Qiu Zhi didn't make any requests and decided according to the situation, then you can see when it's suitable for him to get the assist. What's the fastest run in the entire Eredivisie? I don't take that trick, just use the offense to force you to retract and defend!

Xiang Tao thought so and couldn't help laughing. The laughter made Wang Yu next to him get goosebumps.

"We will have a lot of pressure on our defense. Attack does not mean that we have to give up defense completely. Li Yi, you are still responsible for the middle lane. You are the barrier in front of the back line. Pay special attention. Li Yongle will help you. If necessary, foul it. We do not use man-to-man defense, but area defense. The ball must be handled cleanly and neatly. The back line will definitely not be allowed to fall over four feet. An Ke, you have to yell, and the attack range is larger, so that the entire penalty area is under your control. Do whatever you do in Dortmund, do what you do here. Don't take any problems with someone, don't take any attention, and shout it out!"

An Ke nodded vigorously. He knew that Qiu Suhui was not satisfied with his performance in the last game because he was too silent and was not as silent as him. Now that he said this in front of everyone, he gave him a Shangfang sword so that he could let go. If anyone made a mistake, he could scold him and throw it over. It felt so good.

"Then, okay. I've said everything I should say. As long as you remember, just take the ball, give me a desperate attack and give full play to your strength. As for whether you will lose the ball, don't think too much. In this game, I just want to see the offensive strength of the Chinese team!"

"yes!"

The answer was sparse, and Qiu Suhui sighed in his heart, but some people were still worried. But he really didn't have time to mobilize them any ideas, which all depends on personal understanding.

He waved his hand and said, "Go on the field."

※※※

Li Yan, who returned to the Netherlands, felt very friendly to see everything. He was still sitting next to him with his old partner Wang Hua, and he called him to be an interpreter.

"Zhang Jun and Yang Pan are golden partners on the court, and we are golden partners on the press table." At that time, he said this to Wang Hua so that he would not have to pay for a volunteer.

The fans in the stands were almost here, and the atmosphere was quite warm. Looking around, it was almost all orange.

Wang Hua put down his telescope and pointed to the southwest corner of the opposite stand: "There should be a cheering group from Warren Dam. It's obvious that they are not here to cheer for the Dutch team."

Li Yan also saw the banner in both traditional Chinese and Dutch: "I didn't expect them to come too."

"Aren't you here too? What's so surprising about this?"

"I need it for work, work needs it. Ha!" Li Yan said with a smile.

"It must be a good feeling when you come back, right? You haven't closed your mouth."

"Uh... that's certain. Going back to the Netherlands really reminds me of a lot of things." Li Yan pointed to the stadium, "For example, this stadium. I remember the scene of Zhang Jun playing here for the first time. Warrendam was watching Ajax at that time by Kifu. After the game, the winner Kifu took the initiative to find him, the 'loser' to exchange jerseys..." Li Yan was moved, it was actually three years ago.

Isn’t it the same with Wang Hua? Take this stadium for example. He has more memories of here than Li Yan. After Zhang Jun’s comeback, a “longtie” in the wind and snow made the whole audience excited. He can still clearly remember how excited he was at that time. It was a passion that could melt the heavy snow!

This time, Li Yan called to volunteer, which was equivalent to revisiting the original details himself. There was no need for that guy to say anything stingy about "golden partner", and he would not refuse.

Because, he hasn't seen Zhang Jun play football on the spot for a long time...

"Look! They are out!" Li Yan shouted softly.

The two team members lined up in two teams and came out from the entrance of the passage, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its first climax.

※※※

The eleven starting players of the two teams shook hands with each other, shook hands with the referee, the captain exchanged team flags, and picked the side... When the teams of both sides stood in their respective formations and waited for the kickoff, it was already fifteen minutes later.

Li Yan rubbed his hands in the stands excitedly: "The game is finally about to begin! Looking at the lineups arranged by both sides, it is indeed a battle against each other!"

"Your performance really doesn't match your identity." Wang Hua rolled his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"You are a reporter, not a fan."
