Golden Greenery

"Wha—!"

Alkmaar's 34-year-old goalkeeper Henk Timmer flew sideways in the air, raising his head and watching desperately as the afterimage disappeared into the corner of the goal. His outstretched hands were not so much trying to save. It's better to say praying.

This is the third time that Timer has been defeated by this phantom. The creators of these three phantoms are all the same person - Madibao captain Zhuo Yang.

In the 39th minute of the first half, Zhuo Yang completed a free kick hat trick!

Alkmaar is not weak, at least not someone who can be underestimated like his current reputation. Madibao is no longer the country bumpkin he was when he played in the European competition for the first time the year before last. His eyes were darkened. Now the club's intelligence department is doing a very good job. It has collected half a room of various images, texts and data about Alkmaar. By analyzing these data, the tactical research department will extract all useful information and give it to Uncle Zha, and give its own opinions and suggestions.

Alkmaar's offense is relatively mediocre, but their defense is excellent. This is Alkmaar's biggest asset in disrupting the muddy waters of the top three in the Eredivisie. Not only are the defenses strong, but Alkmaar will even contribute an entire starting defense line to the Dutch national team in the future.

Even though Timmer is already 34, he is currently the best goalkeeper in the Eredivisie. It's just that Timmer's fate was not good. He made his debut at the same time as Edwin van der Sar, who was one year younger than him. Therefore, Timmer became the second goalkeeper of the Dutch national team for his whole life.

It stands to reason that Madibao shouldn't be so easy to play, but things are unpredictable. Maybe it was too rough and miserable in last year's UEFA Cup group stage. The world is full of reincarnation. Madibao's luck in this game was surprisingly good.

As soon as the opening whistle sounded, the football was passed to Zhuoyang via Banetta, Zhuoyang handed it back to Pengpeng, and then returned to Zhuoyang's feet via Westerman. Seeing that the two forwards in front of him had already reached their positions, Zhuo Yang thought about trying a wave of offensive first. So, the long ground ball went to Ibisevic after two steps.

While scrambling with the opponent's defender Timmy Dekler, Ibisevic suddenly fell to the ground. The visual effect of his 189-centimeter-tall fall was very strong. Therefore, less than a minute into the game, Alkmaar had not even touched the ball, and Fort Madi got a well-positioned free kick.

So, less than two minutes into the game, Alkmaar fell behind 0:1 before even touching the ball.

Many of the players on the field at Alkmaar are one round older than the Madibauers. They are experienced and do not panic when they fall behind. They still play steadily according to the pre-match plan. One goal away from home is no problem.

Unexpectedly, just five minutes later, Vermaelen headed Kronkamp's pass from the bottom and passed it to Madiburg left back Scheser. Scheser rushed to the center line and handed it to Zhuoyang. .

Zhuoyang encountered a double-team with the ball and passed it to Debich. The Frenchman made a direct pass to Hamsik. The grenade boy passed and got rid of Balliodan and Van Gallen, and finally fell to the front of the penalty area with Keefe Yalins.

As a result, Madibao received a second direct free kick. So, Zhuoyang scored twice with the same kicking method.

This time, the situation on the field was completely changed. Alkmaar could no longer follow the rules step by step. It was not easy to win back two goals at home. Alkmaar was forced to attack and started a confrontation with the young boys from Fort Madi.

Young guys lack a lot of things, but what they are least afraid of is tit-for-tat. For a time, the scene was full of excitement, and both sides were playing very openly.

Alkmaar has a very good defense, and Madiburg's young defenders are equally good. Pompon Luis, Vermaelen, and Handanovic, the three golden partners in the B team at that time, beat Madi Fort's penalty area was tightly guarded, and Jusgens and Perez could only attempt a few outrageous long-range shots.

Until Zhuoyang suddenly stole Danny Lanzate, Madibao formed a counterattack. Banetta and Ibisevic went hand in hand and rushed into the opponent's penalty area.

Having no choice but to commit a tactical foul, Yalins committed a foul. As a result, Zhuo Yang performed a free kick hat trick.

These three free kicks are all in very good positions, five or six meters in front of the penalty area. Zhuo Yang didn't use any weird footwork, just a simple falling leaf ball, but his speed was astonishingly fast, and he successfully aimed at the blind corners. Let you know where to hit, but you just can't hit it.

It was 3:0 in the first half, and Alkmaar immediately fell into a dilemma. How can we play this kind of ball? Go and attack by force without your life? Playing right into your opponent's hands. Play steadily and steadily according to the strategy established before the game? Madibao naturally enjoys his leisure time. Adrian Se, who was always scheming, was blinded at this time.

In fact, upon further analysis, Alkmaar did not play badly in the first half, especially the defense did not give Madiburg any opportunities. Apart from those three free kicks, there were no other opportunities, and Madiburg only played those three lightning quick shots. attack. However, luck can't stop him. He scored three goals in three opportunities that were not opportunities. Who can he ask to reason?

Football follows the rules of football. In order to leave something to think about in the next round, Adriance had no choice but to send three forwards to strengthen the offensive in the second half, hoping to get a goal back to avoid making the second round a show-off.

It's just that AC Milan may be the only top league team in the world that doesn't play with a 3:0 lead.

Uncle Zha is not stupid, and the Madibao players are also competing with each other without saying hello. The forward steps on the midfield line and starts to counterattack. After Ibisevic scored a solo goal in the 61st minute, the game was decided, and Uncle Zha also replaced Barnetta with Preuss.

Just five minutes later, Grenadier Hamsik succeeded in countering offside within the 40-meter area, and Timmer easily succeeded in lobbing the ball. After rewriting the score to 5:0, Uncle Zha simply replaced him with Mad Dog Rand. Zhuoyang.

Then replace Vermaelen with Sasha Ritter, and all everyone has to do is wait for the game to end, including Adriansee and his Alkmaar.

.

After the game, Zhuo Yang usually took a walk under the stands, chatted with fans he knew well, and made an appointment with Big SB to come home tomorrow. Then he returned to the locker room, changed into clean clothes, and went to the press conference hall. Go.

To go from the venue to the press hall, you need to pass through a long and narrow corridor, where Zhuo Yang met Adriance who had just come out of there.

"Hello, Mr. Coach." Out of politeness, Zhuo Yang greeted him politely and moved out of the way to let Adrian Se pass first.

If you don't know Zhuo Yang in today's football world, you are either a country bumpkin or your home has no electricity. Adrianse is obviously neither of those.

"Hello Zhuoyang, you are outstanding. Well... China is also a very beautiful country." They were all polite words.

"Thank you, Mr. Coach, the Netherlands is also a charming country. I have many Dutch friends." Yes, the butcher De Jong, former teammate Anthony Tommy, and Robin van Persie.

Adrianse smiled and nodded, and he seemed to remember something as he passed by. "Oh, by the way, I remember you had another Chinese player in Madibao a few years ago. How is he?"

"Mr. Coach, I think you remembered wrongly. I am the only Chinese player in the history of the Madiburg team." Zhuoyang was surprised that Adriance asked this question.

"..." Adrianse scratched his head: "Maybe I remembered it wrong, maybe it was a Korean or Japanese player."

"No, no, no, Mr. Coach, including the staff, I am the only Asian in the history of Fort Madi." Zhuo Yang quickly explained.

"...Oh..." Adriance was a little confused, but he didn't dwell on it. After all, it was an old matter. After nodding, he continued to walk forward, and Zhuo Yang also rushed to the press hall.

Suddenly, Adriansai understood something. He suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at the back of Zhuo Yang who was retreating, his eyes full of horror.

The 58-year-old coach is a gentleman, well-dressed and personable, so...

"Idiot, that idiot! That son of a bitch! Ah——"

Two days later, Dutch club AZ Alkmaar fired a senior youth assistant.
