Chapter 12 Steel Arena
In the player channel, 1.87 meters tall Van Bomel stood at the top of Eindhoven, with a slightly ferocious expression. He constantly exerted deterrence on his opponent in this way.
Robben turned around and looked at the elite team, trying his best to control his mouth so that he did not open his mouth.
The elite team on the right hand side has at least 6 to 7 strong men with heights of 1 meter 85 to 1 meter 9, and this height can take into account both athletic ability and confrontational ability.
This kind of personnel configuration may be average in football, but when it comes to fighting, it is definitely in the Champions League zone in Eredivisie.
In the middle of the stage set up by the stadium, the female lead singer of the psychedelic band won the cheers of the fans with a difficult high notes. The bald lead guitarist beside him made a long solo, and then the club's highlights in a hundred years were played on the big screen in black and white photos.
Just as the cheers of nearly 4,000 home team fans reached their peak on the court, the referee on duty signaled the players to enter the court.
Thousands of home team fans immediately went crazy. The sound of their singing sounded a little hysterical, making people feel that they were going to run wild in groups and rush into the stadium in the next second.
As soon as he stepped into the stadium, Robben found several cameras on the side of the stadium, and there were also remote cameras in the sky for shooting.
His first idea was that the game would be broadcast live nationwide, and facts proved that his guess was correct.
Bruins, a football commentator at Dutch Windmill TV, was sighing: "Oh my God, many fans came to the stadium with their deceased relatives. The club has been hovering between the end of the Eredivisie and the low-level league for 100 years, but they still have thousands of loyal fans. It is said that some families have three generations of fans of elite teams.
If any team dares to underestimate the owner of Woodings Park this season, they may fall apart here."
Robben also saw a touching scene in the stands of the fans. He felt that if he was an elite team player and saw someone who once cheered for the team every week turned into a black and white photo with a solidified expression, he would definitely fight for him.
This is true on the court. After Eindhoven kicked off, the elite team immediately recovered.
Facing Eindhoven, they didn't seem very confident at the beginning, allowing their opponents to pass the ball carelessly in their half to find opportunities.
Romedal on the right side of Eindhoven used continuous fake moves to pass the opponent's left back, and took advantage of the opponent's central defender to make up for defense, successfully passing the ball to the feet of center Brookingke who was standing in the penalty area.
"It's too easy for Brookinger to get the ball. The elite central defender can't withstand this goalboard at all. He leans against the opponent and keeps approaching the goal, and he can get rid of the goal at any time!"
"Wow! The elite team's central defender gritted his teeth and held Brookinger back, making the latter unable to turn around. Brookinger forced a shot and was blocked by the central defender with his body. This central defender who was still playing in the low-level league last season actually defended the first-class center in the Eredivisie alone."
"With the time when football went out of the bottom line, other players from the elite team came to brim the centre-back. His tough performance just now inspired the whole team!"
"After defending the opponent's attack, the elite team seemed to find a feeling and formed a stalemate on the court. Let's introduce the main lineup of the two teams.
Eindhoven's goalkeeper is Watrus, with four defenders from left to right being Boma, Hofland, Oye and Borgrond, and the midfielders are Robben, Van Bomel, Voger, and Romedal respectively. The two forwards are Brookingke and Kezhmann. The unchanging 4-4-2.
And the elite team's lineup...sorry, no one has ever heard of their main players."
The elite team's home court length is nearly 110 meters, and the width is 60 meters. Their lineup is tailor-made for this stadium.
After a while of temptation, they found that they could use a few moves with their opponents and began to boldly oppress and attack the Eindhoven team's players.
The formation of the elite team is 4-2-2-2. Robben found that this formation is simply the matching formation of this stadium. Two strong men with good athletic abilities can easily cover the defensive area, and all four lines of defense are putting pressure on the visiting team's players.
After nearly 15 minutes of the game, Robben finally received a pass from Van Bomel. The moment he received the ball, the elite defender posted it up.
The moment Robben stopped the ball, the elite midfielder also made up and blocked the space for him to dribble the ball horizontally.
In order to avoid being double-teamed, Robben passed the ball back to the pickup Bowma without adjustment.
This scene lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and Hiddink stood on the sidelines with his arms around him, his expression still did not change at all.
The current situation is not beyond his expectations. Eindhoven's pass cooperation was interrupted by the opponent with a foul. There may not be too many opportunities in the short term.
He was not in a hurry. His opponents were using running to make up for the gap in strength, but they could not run like this for 90 minutes. When their physical fitness declined, the Eindhoven team's chance came.
"Mr. Gus seemed confident on the sidelines. Although they did not get a good shot after nearly 20 minutes of the game, the elite team did not threaten Eindhoven's goal at all, and even felt sad in the half.
Is this too big a gap in strength between the two teams, or is it done on purpose by the home team? You should know that their tactics have concealed all media, and it is understandable that some deceptive tactics appear in the game.
The elite team got the ball, they kicked the ball in the backcourt, and the ball was very turned, Hoglund dared not be careless, he cleared the long pass from the sideline."
It was originally a normal out-of-bounds ball, but no one on the elite team has been serving for a long time.
Robben saw the elite team running towards the right back who was facing him across the half and ran towards the football.
Isn't it just a penalty for an out-of-bounds ball and still doing this, no, this is a thrower, and the elite team needs to use the grenade tactics.
The right guard with a big back head walked to the sideline disdainfully. Almost as he picked up the football, the caddie standing near the billboard handed over a bath towel...
Robben's mouth twitched slightly, and he had the illusion of being against Stoke City.
Looking at the lawn beside him, Robben was surprised to find that the distance between the sideline of Woodings Park Stadium and the billboard was artificially adjusted to an undetectable uphill.
The venue is designed in this way, making it easier to use the home team's grenade tactics.
"The one who is wiping the football is Elite's right back Argus. This player has training experience in track and field throwing. Let's see what happens next!"
At this time, the broadcasting camera switched to Argus's thick right arm in time.
"Oh my God, his arms are very thick. It can be seen that he is a player with outstanding upper limb strength!"
Watching Argus retreat to the billboard, the home team fans instantly calmed down.
Argus took a deep breath, rushed towards the sideline, and threw the ball into the center of Eindhoven's penalty area amid cheers from the home team fans.
This is a video of Robben's past life that he had watched many out-of-bounds tactics. As soon as Argus took action, he knew that this was an expert.
The football continued to spin and fell rapidly after reaching the highest point. From the perspective of Eindhoven players in the penalty area, the ball was like someone threw it from several floors.
Eindhoven's defense line immediately fell into panic.
