Chapter 168 Premier League Years European Cup First Goal
The Suez Stadium in Bern, half volcano, half iceberg.

In the 80 minutes of the game, Dutch coach Basten used up his last substitution.

Before, when the game went to 70 minutes, No. 7 Van Persie replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy, who opened the scoring for the Dutch team.

In the 76th minute of the game, No. 20 Afeilai replaced No. 18 Dirk.

Now, No. 3 Heitinga played on foot, replacing No. 21 Boulah Luz.

3:0! ! ! !

There is no doubt that the Dutch team won the game. Now, what Van Basten has to consider is that the opponent in the next round of the group stage is the runner-up of the 2006 World Cup. Replaced and rested.

Thinking of his next opponent, Van Basten raised his eyebrows——
"Germany's World Cup champion Italy, World Cup runner-up France, Eastern Europe's Romania, it's really a good grouping..."

*******
Xiang Nan forced himself to calm down, he knew that this was his one and only chance.

Under the leadership of the assistant coach of the Italian team, he ran to the side of the court quickly, twisted his waist, stretched his legs, and moved his ankle joints...

"Andre. After you play, use your speed to break through Van Bronckhorst..."

"Also, more pretentious cooperation with Luka..."

At the Suez Stadium in Bern, the blue flag and the orange battle flag are constantly waving. Countless fans have stood up, the orange ones are cheering, and the blue ones are accumulating their last strength, fighting for dignity! ! !

Standing on the sidelines in the south, he just realized that he hadn't even taken a close look at the structure of the Suez Stadium in Bern. At this moment, he felt a kind of tension that he had never felt before. This feeling is somewhat the same as that of the Champions League final, but it is also somewhat different. , but the excitement is the same.

Xiang Nan didn't hear what Donadoni was saying at all, he just clenched his fist tightly and shouted in his heart, "I want to score!! Goal!! Xiang Nan, you can do it of!!"

Nervously, Xiang Nan even whispered aloud.

"Andre, do you understand what I said?" Donadoni glanced at No. 61 who seemed a little nervous.

"Understood, coach, I want to score!!" Xiang Nan replied loudly! !
"Yes, a goal!!!" Donadoni's face softened, "Go, boy!! Goal!!!"

'Perhaps, this kid can really bring surprises?Even scoring a goal...'

Donadoni suddenly lowered his head and whispered in Xiang Nan's ear, "Andre, Marco is watching you."

Xiang Nan's body shook, and he followed Donadoni's voice. Van Basten's sea-like eyes and slightly curly hair, it was obvious that the head coach of the Dutch team had also noticed that the substitution on the Italian side up.

Basten glanced at Xiang Nan who was preparing to play on the sidelines, and frowned. Basten can be said to be one of the few coaches who know Xiang Nan's technical characteristics best in football, although Xiang Nan is not an Italian. The main player of the team, however, Basten has also studied Xiangnan's game video.

He didn't forget this young man with whom he had a brief exchange in Milanello...

Seeing that Xiang Nan's nervousness was relieved and replaced by the fiery fighting spirit in his eyes, Donadoni knew that what he just said had worked...

In fact, Donadoni may not be considered a successful coach, but for the players, he can be regarded as a qualified mentor. When he was in Livorno, Donadoni once served as the chairman of the Livorno club. For the abuse of his players, he did not hesitate to resign to fight in exchange for an apology from the club chairman.

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Nan calmed down his nervousness. He said to himself, isn't it the European Cup?it's nothing! !South, you can! ! !
With my head held high, I took a serious look at the panorama of the Suez Stadium in Bern, and stepped south with my right foot, stepping on the turf of the Suez Stadium in Bern, here I come for the European Cup! ! !
In this event, for the first time, a Chinese name will be deeply engraved——
Deep prints! ! !
*******
In the 83rd minute of the game, the Italian team made substitutions, No. 61 went south, and No. 11 Di Natale went off.

"Look, look!! Donadoni finally used up his last substitution and Andre replaced Di Natale!! This is Andre's first European Cup!! Although, An Andre's muscles are fatigued, and he hasn't fully recovered, but anyway, in this terrible situation, it can't be worse, and we have every reason to expect that Andre can surprise us more than us!!!"

Tomasi's voice was almost yelling. The scene and score of the Italian team had already driven Tomasi crazy. Before that, the Italian gold medal commentator's mind was looking forward to an early end. This bad luck And the humiliating game! !
"I hope Andre can surprise us as always!! In fact, Andre has never let us down!! To be honest, I'm going crazy!!" Justin was also excited, this time It can be said that it is Italy's last chance in this game.

At this time, there was also a dead ball in the stadium. The head coach of the Dutch team, Van Basten, also took advantage of this opportunity to call Engelal to his side and give a few words of advice.

'Andre, your first European Cup, what kind of performance will you have? Van Basten looked at the big boy full of fighting spirit on the court, and fell into thinking, "Engelal is not so easy to deal with!" ! '

*******
It has to be said that Van Basten did study Xiangnan's technical characteristics. He used a player like Engelal with a height of 196cm, but his skills at his feet were not vague at all, and he was not a slow player when turning around. successful.

Engelal's physical fitness is really good, and this big man's physical fitness is also amazing. The game is almost over. Although it is a little difficult for such a big man to mark Xiangnan who is on the field, at the very least, from Xiangnan Judging from the 5 minutes after playing, Englar was successful.

Although the speed is not fast, the 196cm big man has a great pace, which can completely make up for the speed gap between him and Xiangnan. What's more, Englar's ball handling ability and stealing ability are also excellent, which also caused , In the 5 minutes after Xiang Nan played, he hardly got a good chance, and it was not easy to even hold the ball comfortably.

"Andre lacked the necessary tacit understanding with the Italian team, especially Cassano and Lucatoni, which made it difficult for him to get the necessary help under Engelal's pressure."

The game has been going on for 89 minutes. At this time, on the sidelines of the Suez Stadium, a sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time was raised.

"Damn it!! I'm not here to waste rubbish time!!" Xiang Nan was a little upset and anxious, and began to spread in the young boy's heart.

Almost subconsciously, he glanced south towards the coach bench of the Dutch team, and a smile appeared on the corner of Van Basten's mouth.

"Marco must be laughing at me, that kid who doesn't know the heights of the world, the hyped 'successor of Basten', was so easily frozen by Englar!!!"

"No!! You can't do this!! I'm here to score!! Yes!! I'm here to score!!"

Engelal, who was defending himself from the south, suddenly felt that the black-haired boy with an oriental face was suddenly a little different. He couldn't say exactly what was different, but he just felt——
Well, yes, dangerous feeling! ! !

*******
As a top shooter, the most important thing is a shooter's self-confidence, viper-like calm sense of smell and alertness...

One minute of stoppage time has passed, and no one has any hope for the Italian team.

"After all, this is Andre's first European Cup. It's only less than 10 minutes. Let's not ask too much of this young guy." Tomasi's words are more like a doting The child's excuse...

However, this is not the result Xiang Nan wanted! !
Gattuso made a beautiful tackle, intercepted Afeilai's pass, and then a ground ball, the ball reached Pirlo's feet.

There is still no problem with the skilled cooperation between the midfielders from Milan.

After Pirlo got the ball, facing De Jong's pressure, a beautiful lateral dribble opened the center of the Dutch team, and a beautiful pass went to the left side of the penalty area.

Xiangnan started to move. Just when Englar realized the danger and came up to shovel, Xiangnan had already started at a high speed. No one could stop Xiangnan at this time! !
A light pull of the right foot, followed by a step on the spot, controlled the ball, and then a sudden acceleration, the body leaned slightly to the left, the shoulders swayed, but there was a subtle push under the foot, the ball passed from Englar Passed between his legs, and then a blue shadow began to accelerate, flashing past Englar's right side...

"Great job!! Andre!! A wonderful goal!! There is still one minute before the end of the game, will there be a goal?" Tomasi suddenly shouted excitedly.

Just when everyone was desperate, Xiang Nan gave the Italian fans a last reason to stand out of the Suez Stadium, although it was a rather embarrassing reason...

The North Stand of the Suez Stadium began to emit the loudest cheers and cheers since the start of the second half. This is Italy's last chance, and the blue ocean is very clear! !
"Andre!! GO! GO!! GO!!!" Joanna in the VIP box folded her hands on her chest, praying, her eyes never leaving the Suez Stadium, the man with fluttering black hair- ——
She, Joanna's man! !
The Dutch fans in the South Stand began to use their loudest boos to try to interfere with Xiangnan. In the eyes of the Dutch, this is an orange feast. When the banquet is about to end, no one is allowed to disturb the situation ! !
Xiangnan had broken through Englar, and Van Bronckhorst couldn't stay any longer. He glanced at Heitinga beside him, motioned his teammates to pay attention to Cassano, and rushed south! !
'Boy! !That's it! ! ! '

Facing the ferocious Van Bronckhorst, Xiangnan was dribbling the ball at high speed without any hesitation. While overtaking Van Bronckhorst, who was about to be physically exhausted, he advanced at a high speed, and the ball was concealed at the feet of Cassano in the middle of the penalty area.

He has an intuition that Cassano will definitely pass the ball. This is a feeling between shooters. He believes that with Cassano's strength, he can do it! !

Cassano leaned on Heitinga, who came up to press, and made a sudden half-turn. Just when Heitinga intercepted the ball, the ball was passed from Heitinga's left wing with a light rub of his left foot. go out…

The ball is very dexterous and concealed. It just happened to slide up and grab Matheisen who was facing south. Matheson could only watch the black and white elf slip away from him...

"Beautiful hitting the wall!! Well done!! Andre is solo!! So beautiful!! Andre!!!"

The Suez Stadium suddenly fell silent. Whether it was the North Stand where the blue Italian fans were, or the South Stand where the orange Dutch fans were, everyone held their breath, waiting for the result of the final blow——
Van der Sar roared and rushed out! !
He could even feel the cold and dangerous aura emanating from Xiang Nan. As a veteran, Van der Sar knew clearly that this was a danger for a shooter! !
Xiang Nan raised his right foot, his body suddenly leaned forward, and Van der Sar had to fall to the ground...

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiang Nan pulled back lightly, and the ball landed on Xiang Nan's left foot like an obedient elf. All Xiang Nan had to do was——
With the heel of the left foot, tap lightly...

The ball slowly rolled into the net, causing slight ripples, which caused——
Unrequited cheers from the North Stand of the Suez Stadium! ! ! !

"goooooooaaaaaaal, AND - REA!!!! He scored, scored!!! Italy scored!!! This kid, can always bring surprises!! Andrea!! Thank you!!! Thank you Italy!! We still have a chance!! As long as it is like this in the end, we still have a chance!!! Well done!!!”

Tomasi almost yelled out of emotion.

He yelled out all the resentment and dissatisfaction in the game, as well as the humiliation in his heart! ! !
The North Stand of the Suez Stadium also heard the biggest applause and cheers since the start of the match! !
The Italian fans are applauding! !

They get a standing ovation! !
They know that today's game is over and Italy has lost, but, as Tomasi yelled just now, this last goal gave the Italians a lot of room for imagination——
If, just if, Italy can play like this from the beginning? …

Unfortunately, there is no if! ! !
But, there is a future! !
There is the next match between Italy and Romania! ! !

There is a final round against the French team! !
Everything has just begun and is not over yet! !

*******
Dudu Dudu! ! !
The referee Flofidette blew the whistle for the end of the game. In the end, this, the focus of the group stage of the European Cup, ended with the Dutch team beating Italy 3:1.

Suez Stadium burst into applause! !

Although Xiangnan's goal made the Dutch feast a little flawed, it was still a feast after all, and the Dutch fans were already singing and dancing to celebrate! !

The orange color of the South Stand exudes joyful notes...jumping...

Compared with the unscrupulous and crazy carnival of the Dutch fans, the applause of the Italians is restrained, because, anyway, they lost the game and can only hope for the next game...

Van Basten glanced at Xiangnan, who was still celebrating the goal just now with Cassano, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that Xiangnan would adapt to the rhythm of the game so quickly, and from all over The performance of this game can be said to be perfect. Englar's defense broke through, and yes, he did it so beautifully! !

'Andre.Well done, that goal was brilliant! ! '

Van Basten walked up to Xiangnan who was waving to the fans in the north stands, and extended his hand.

Xiang Nan shook hands with the head coach of the Dutch team, and the sweat of excitement rolled down his cheeks, after all, the long-distance acceleration just now.Changing directions and shooting goals still consume a lot of energy.

"Marco, I thought I scored a goal. At least, you won't be happy now." Xiang Nan scratched his head shyly.

"I'm not happy," Basten smiled. "However, I'm still happy. In your state, the Romanians will suffer a lot in the next game..."

"I don't know yet, whether I will play in the next game or not." Thinking of this, Xiang Nan's excited eyes began to dim.

"I believe that Robert will see your performance." Basten turned his head and left. Now, he has fought his way through the whole game and won the victory, "He and I were teammates back then. I know him, Robert is not a bigot!!!"

Looking at Basten's back in the south, he was still thinking, but was knocked down by Gattuso who rushed over, "You did a beautiful job Andre!! Do it like this in the next game!!"

"Unfortunately, we still lost, and we lost badly."

Just when Xiang Nan wanted to comfort Gattuso, the Milan midfielder suddenly grinned, "It's great to step on the French team to advance, isn't it?"

Xiang Nan was completely confused by Gattuso's jump thinking.
Now, the only thing he is sure of is that he scored a goal! !His first goal in the European Cup, and——
The Italians' intractable entanglement with the French team! !

*******
The game is over, but the aftermath of this game is still going on, and a storm hits the Italian team——
Because, after all, Italy lost, badly, and Xiang Nan's goal, in essence, was nothing more than a cover for the world champions...

Regarding the starting of Donadoni and the use of Xiangnan, there are sudden waves...
