Chapter 465
Eindhoven didn't know that they were not only at a disadvantage in tactics, but also their luck was not as good as their opponents.
Eindhoven players were in the game with a momentum. During the break, Koeman told them about the importance of the game. Everyone also knew how important the Champions League quarterfinals were. As long as they could eliminate Mirwall, they could enter the semi-finals.
That is a good achievement that everyone dreams of.
So they were two goals behind in the score, and the game was very difficult. Eindhoven still did not lack fighting spirit, and they still worked very seriously in the game.
Eindhoven's adjusted tactical style seems to have also had a certain effect. At least in the matchup, it is much better than in the first half. They are not so passive and gradually make some offensives, and the opponent dare not launch an offensive unscrupulously.
Eindhoven's defensive pressure seems to have become much smaller.
This feeling is pretty good.
Many players can take a breath during the game, unlike the first half, which lasts for a long time.
Next, Eindhoven began to strive for an offensive breakthrough.
Every player hopes to have a breakthrough in offense, some are scored, and two are morale. When their side attacks, the backcourt players will become relaxed. They hope to break through Mirwall's goal and recover the goal to get a better chance to eliminate Mirwall.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed.
Eindhoven also found that their idea of hoping to make a breakthrough in offense was really unrealistic, because in the past ten minutes, their several waves of offenses did not even play a decent one, and most of the offenses were terminated on the side. Occasionally, some people passed the ball to the middle, and the teammates in the middle couldn't receive it at all.
Eindhoven was very distressed.
If they cannot score for a long time, they will face the result of losing two goals to their opponents at home.
Mirwall is more patient than Eindhoven.
Millwall's offensive intensity is not as high as the first half, but the normal offensive rhythm also makes the team's cooperation more stable. The whole team continues to use patient and meticulous cooperation to find the opponent's loopholes.
If there are no loopholes in the opponent's defense line, then go for a strong attack by yourself.
Braniff is the core point of the offense.
In this game, Branev can be described as "Shining the whole game". His dribbling ability and experience have improved rapidly in past games. Continuous dribbling breakthroughs in the middle have also become one of Eindhoven's defense troubles.
The one who has been defending Braniff is Eindhoven's central defender Alex.
This player is very interesting.
Alex is an Eindhoven player, but the actual ownership is Chelsea Club.
As early as 2004, Chelsea bought Alex from Santos, Brazil for 5 million pounds. However, because Alex did not play for the Brazilian national team at that time, he was refused when applying for a British labor certificate. Chelsea was unable to sign a work contract with him. In the end, Chelsea took a compromise method to send Alex to Eindhoven, Netherlands.
Because of Robben's transfer, Chelsea and Eindhoven have established a close cooperative relationship.
In order to facilitate the "recycling" of Alex in the future, Chelsea's contract to send Alex to Eindhoven for free had a clause stipulating that Chelsea could recover Alex at any time at a symbolic price of one dollar.
In January after Christmas, Chelsea had a shortage of people in the central defender due to Terry's serious injury, so they considered recycling Ales in advance. However, because Chelsea targeted the winter transfer at Bolton's Israeli central defender Ben Haim, and Eindhoven was going to participate in the Champions League knockout stage, there was also a very shortage of personnel, so Chelsea did not use the recycling clause.
Alex may hope to leave Eindhoven and rejoin Chelsea. The Premier League is much more attractive than Eredivisie. He plays for Eindhoven and can only have the opportunity to increase exposure when participating in the Champions League.
But now, Allais would rather reduce exposure and have no fans to watch the game, because he was completely defeated in defense of Braniff.
To borrow an old Chinese saying, "Ales is almost shaking by Branif so much that he can't find the north!"
Branif fully utilized his fast reaction, good skills and flexible body characteristics, and Alex could not keep up with Branif's rhythm. The confrontation between Alex and Branif was purely a feast on the coffee table, full of tragedies everywhere.
Since the beginning of the game, Braniff has used ten different methods to shake off or pass Alex. There is even one time when Alex was simply shaken to the ground.
Pirey also put Curina in enough pressure on the left.
This Australian international with Croatian descent was like a wooden stake when facing Pire. Except for the body that was stuck there, the movements were very heavy.
Pire is not young anymore, and his physical fitness and flexibility are deteriorating, but his skills and experience are still there. Experience alone is enough to make Curina suffer enough losses.
Branif has a comprehensive advantage against Alles and Pirey against Curina, so Mirwall's overall offense and defense against Eindhoven was also fully advantageous. When Pire shook Curina away and passed the ball to Branif again, he finally discovered the flaws in Eindhoven's defense.
This flaw was keenly captured by Braniff.
Braniff dribbled the ball against Alex again, and he seemed to be pushing and passing it to his teammates outside the penalty area, because Livermore had already rushed up.
Alex subconsciously wanted to stop him, but Braniff hit the ball and took the ball past the opponent.
Alex was so angry that he didn't know how many times it was, but he was "easily" tricked by the opponent. He turned around and wanted to chase him back, but Braniff had already dribbled into the penalty area.
Seeing that Alex was passed, Eindhoven didn't feel anything yet, they were a little used to it, but they glanced at the situation and immediately became nervous.
This time, Simmons did not have time to retreat, while Feher was marking Livermore running back, with only one central defender Salcido having time to defend, but the opponent's forward Darren Bent also rushed to the penalty area.
It's dangerous!
Salcido had no choice but to bite the bullet and defend Braniff. Just as he imagined in his mind, Braniff did not continue to dribble the ball, but passed the ball to the right.
Darren Bent followed up with a push shot!
Goalkeeper Gomez reacted very quickly and immediately made a save, but no matter how fast his reaction was, he could not be faster than football.
The next moment, the football rolled into the goal without any suspense!
"3-0, until now we can say that the suspense of the game has ended!"
"It's not just the first round, but by the second round, Eindhoven wants to tie, it's also an almost impossible task!"
"Darren Bent! Bent! But the goal is more due to Braniff. Alex's defense against him was almost ineffective. He easily deceived Alex and rushed into the penalty area and passed a good ball! All Bente had to do was push the ball into the goal!"
"Gomez may be the most pitiful. He had to keep shooting throughout the game. He worked very hard and saved a few good balls, but he still picked up the ball three times in the goal. That might be the saddest job..."
The shouts of the British BBC commentator were quite gloating.
Darren Bent's goal completely ended the suspense of the game.
Eindhoven could not score three goals to tie, but they continued to launch an offensive against Mirwall under Koeman's command.
There is no suspense in Eindhoven.
Not only this game, if you cannot score a goal, the suspense of the second round will end early, and they must continue to persevere and continue to work hard.
But Mirwol did not have the idea of "let go" Eindhoven. Every player deeply remembered what Zhang Yang said before the game that their goal was to complete two rounds in one round. If you can score more goals, you should score as many goals as possible.
This is the goal of the game.
So when the game started again, Mirwall continued to attack Eindhoven, and continued to suppress Eindhoven with tactics and performance, constantly looking for opportunities in front of the goal.
Eindhoven goalkeeper Gomez's 'tragic work' did not end with being scored three goals.
He still has to continue.
In the 80th minute of the game, Livermore shot 23 meters and hit the post straight. Eindhoven had not had time to be glad that Darren Bent, who had followed, kicked the ball into the goal.
“4 to 0!”
"Darren Bent scored twice! Millwall is continuing to expand his lead!"
"Eindhoven would never have thought that they would play so badly against England and London teams, and they would concede four goals at home!"
Eindhoven was kicked out of fighting spirit.
Everyone thinks the game will end here. Millwall is leading by four goals, so it should stop? The team that is also participating in the Champions League, even if they are not in the same league, there will be times when they deal with each other in the future. They should keep more face. Scoring four goals is almost the same. No matter how advantage they have, they should give the home team some face away.
Fans think so.
The Eindhoven player thinks so.
Even some Mirwall players think so, four goals have completed their game goals, and Eindhoven will not have a chance in the next round.
Then...that's it!
However, Zhang Yang's idea is different, because until now, the ability of "speaking and following the Dharma" has not been used, so it is a bit of a waste to give up.
When I was playing a game in my previous life, I was about to end a game. The ultimate move was not used, so I had to use it on the spot so that my whole body would be smooth. Now it is a football game, and the meaning is similar. If you have the ability, it is a huge waste.
So the game was about to end and it was already in stoppage time. I saw Darren Ward rushing to the front, about twenty meters away from the goal, waving his feet at the football symbolically, Zhang Yang quickly used his ability-
"Goal!"
The two Chinese pronunciations seemed to have magic power, which was reflected on Darren Ward. Then Darren Ward felt that his condition was very brave, as if he could play the most comfortable kick in his career so far. Darren Ward waved his right foot according to his feelings.
