The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 446
446 Contradictions in the Dutch Team
Zhong Cheng and Julia Oliveira appeared at the Leipzig Central Stadium in Germany.
Serbia and Montenegro will face the Netherlands in a Group 3 match here on Sunday.
The two teams have played nine games in history, the Netherlands 5-1 draw 3 win, 17 goals conceded 12 goals; Among them, 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, 12 goals and 7 goals were conceded in the tournament. The Netherlands beat Serbia and Montenegro 2-1 in the World Cup quarter-finals in France in 1998, and won 6-1 in the European Cup quarter-final in 2000.
Today, the two teams fought again, and it was also the last time in history that they fought.
After the World Cup, there will be no team like Serbia and Montenegro in the world.
Zhong Cheng sat in the stands close to the Dutch national team’s bench. Zhong Cheng’s position was so that he could see the situation on the Dutch national team’s bench.
The head coach of the Dutch national team is their legendary striker, Van Basten. He has put out a 4-3-3 formation today, which can be said to be the Dutchman’s defensive formation. Almost all teams in the La Liga are in this formation, which is why Holland often produce excellent wingers.
The starting line-up for the Dutch national team today is as follows:
Goalkeeper: van der Sar
Fourth Guards “Left to Right”: Van Bronckhorst, Matheson, Oyer and Heitinga
Three midfielders “from left to right”: Sneijder, Koku and Van Bommel
Three strikers “from left to right”: Robben, van Nistelrooy and Van Persie
Yes, Van Basten sent Van Persie in this match, while Huntelaar sat on the bench and didn’t give Huntelaar a chance.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. It could be seen that Van Basten was more optimistic about Van Persie.
You have to know that Huntelaar has performed better in England than Van Persie in the past two seasons and scored more goals. The story is much more efficient, but Van Basten chose Van Persie, which makes many people disagree.
Of course, the biggest objection was Huntelaar himself.
The competition between Huntelaar and Van Persie was already an open secret. The two of them were pitting themselves against each other in front of the media reporters. Huntelaar did not get the starting spot and instead lost to Van Persie. Huntelaar would definitely be very dissatisfied.
Sitting in the stands, Zhong Cheng saw the dejected Huntelaar walk towards the bench.
This was the first time Zhong Cheng had seen Huntelaar since the end of the season. He was very familiar with Huntelaar. From Huntelaar’s movements, Zhong Cheng could tell that Huntelaar was extremely angry, extremely angry.
If Zhong Cheng was Huntelaar, he would also be angry.
Why is this daddy stronger than Van Persie, more efficient at scoring, better at playing and not getting a start? Why, why, why?
Zhong Cheng had heard the saying that Van Basten, the head coach of the Dutch national team, originally did not intend to recruit Huntelaar, but rather wanted to recruit Heiselink, who played in the Netherlands.
Heiselink is tall and has a good header. Although his dribbling and speed are weak, it will enrich the tactics of the Dutch national team. Van Basten would prefer to recruit him into the national team.
However, Van Basten reportedly reluctantly chose Huntelaar after seeing the reaction of the fans and the recommendation of his assistants. Moreover, Van Baster had given Huntelaar the role of a substitute for Van Nistelrooy.
So, from the very beginning, Huntelaar’s role in the Dutch national team has been positioned.
Zhong Cheng didn’t know if this was true, and he didn’t know what Van Basten was thinking. But watching Huntelaar on the bench, watching his sworn enemies sprinting on the pitch, he must be in a bad mood.
Zhong Cheng silently felt sorry for Huntelaar for three seconds.
“Boss, why isn’t Claes in the starting line-up? He’s way better than Van Persie!” Julia Olivera asked, confused.
Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and turned to Julia Oliveira, “I don’t know if you believe me.”
Julia Olivera gave Zhong Zhongcheng a team of sanitary eyes and snorted proudly, “Forget it!”
Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “I really don’t know what Van Basten is thinking!”
Zhong Cheng had some thoughts in his heart, but he wasn’t sure if Van Basten thought so.
In Zhong Cheng’s opinion, Van Persie’s advantage over Huntelaar was his ribbon and speed. Van Persie’s ribbon ability was much better than Huntelaar’s, and his speed was also faster.
Therefore, Van Persie is more suitable for the winger position, and Huntelaar is more suitable for the center of the position.
Obviously, the center of the Dutch team now belongs to Van Nistelrooy, there is no doubt about it. Hence, Huntelaar could only serve as a substitute for Van Nistelrooy and wait on the bench until Van Nistelrooy was ready to rest.
But will van Persie really play better on the winger than Huntelaar? Zhong Cheng had reservations.
Obviously, from the current situation, Huntelaar’s experience is much stronger than Van Persie’s. Moreover, Huntelaar has been in good shape lately. He deserves a starting spot.
However, Van Basten apparently didn’t think so.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Cheng felt that Huntelaar’s World Cup was almost over. Huntelaar was destined to be a soy sauce player.
Julia Oliveira asked again: “Boss, is Claes really leaving?”
Huntelaar is Leeds United’s best shooter for two consecutive years, and Julia Oliveira knew how important Huntelaar was to Leeds United, so he asked.
Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly. To tell the truth, he wasn’t too sure.
However, judging from Huntelaar’s reaction and that of his agent, this matter should be true. Huntelaar should be leaving the club. And to Sheffield, Kramer, on Wednesday, because the news that Huntelaar and Kramer were clubbing together was already old.
Zhong Cheng sighed and said, “Probably, I didn’t expect it to be like this!”
Julia Oliveira immediately exclaimed, “Why? Why is that? Claus is the absolute core of our Leeds United. Without him, we would be in danger!”
Zhong Chengshi snorted coldly and said, “No! No player is indispensable to our Leeds United team. We are one team and can leave anyone. If you really want to talk about a soul character, it is me. Only I am indispensable!”
Juali Oliveira was slightly stunned. So it was like this.
However, Huntelaar was too important to Leeds United, and Julia Oliveira still didn’t like Huntelaar leaving Leeds United.
Julia Oliveira immediately asked: “Then boss, will you agree to Claus’s transfer?”
Zhong Cheng’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the Dutch national bench. “As long as the price is right, our Leeds United Club will not be unsold,” he said.
Julia Olivera was so scared that her face turned pale.
Julia Olivera was stunned. Zhong Cheng actually said that every player of the Leeds United team could be sold. Oh my God, did I hear wrongly?
Julia Olivera exclaimed, “Even Frank and Gerald?”
The corners of Zhong Cheng’s mouth rose slightly as he said, “I said that no one at Leeds United is indispensable. If they really want to leave, I won’t force it!”
Julia Oliveira was really confused. She didn’t expect this to happen. He was a little uncomfortable and confused at this moment.
At this moment, the match had begun.
Serbia and Montenegro have given themselves a very clear position. They are the weak in this game. They are defending against the Dutchman because they know the Dutchman’s full-on approach. Once the Dutchman attacks, they will have a chance in Serbia and Montenegro.
Huntelaar had been sitting on the bench with a broken face, feeling extremely unhappy.
On the court, the Dutch team quickly took control of the game, and immediately controlled the rhythm under their feet. The game entered the Dutchman’s rhythm.
Van Basten nodded repeatedly on the sidelines, expressing his satisfaction.
However, Van Persie’s performance made him a little unsatisfied. Van Persie really didn’t play well. Van Persie has played too few games for Arsenal.
Huntelaar looked at Van Persie from the bench and snorted coldly, disdainfully.
Van Basten saw all this and shook his head with a gloomy expression. Huntelaar’s heart was filled with resentment.
However, at this time, the Dutch national team controlled the pace of the game and attacked very threateningly. So now Van Basten doesn’t care about that at all. His attention is on this game.
The other game in the group has ended with Argentina’s 2-1 victory over the African elephants, Cote d ‘Ivoire. In this match, their Dutch team could not lose.
Van Basten was still nervous on the sidelines because the first goal was delayed.
Huntelaar has been complaining about Van Persie’s performance on the sidelines. Obviously, in his eyes, Van Persie’s performance is nothing more than trash.
In the 26th minute of the first half of the game, Sneijder, who was on the side, suddenly sent out a beautiful pass and the football flew into the Serbian and Montenegrin restricted area.
The ball flew forward and Van Nistelrooy jumped up high, heading back and staring the ball to the left. At Robben’s feet on the left. Without saying a word, Robben swung his leg and pushed the football far into the corner.
Robben was in the back corner and the Serbian and Montenegrin goalkeepers were caught off guard as the ball flew into Serbia and Montenegro’s goal.
The Dutch national team took the lead 1-0.
In this match, Van Persie’s performance was really not good. It could even be described as very bad. In the tenth minute of the second half, Van Basten couldn’t take it anymore and replaced Van Persie with Kuyt.
Van Persie is finished, but Huntelaar has a reputation. Oh, get the chance,
Huntelaar was sitting on the bench for ninety minutes in this match. He didn’t even get a second to play. Huntelaar was extremely angry and angry. He was filled with resentment towards Van Basten.
In this match, the Dutch national team beat Serbia and Montenegro 1-0 and scored three points.
