Chapter 75 Rotterdam Derby

De Kuyp Stadium is the second largest football stadium in the Netherlands, after the Amsterdam Arena in the capital Amsterdam.

It has 51,177 seats and a geothermal system. It is one of the city symbols of Rotterdam and the venue for the European Cup final jointly held by the Netherlands and Belgium in 2000.

This is the first time Chitze has played in such a large stadium. During warm-up, Chitze looked up and could not see the end.

There are already many fans in the stadium. The red and white colors representing Feyenoord cover the entire stadium. Interestingly, the home jersey of Sparta Rotterdam is also red and white. If Sparta fans wear home jerseys to the away game, The whole place looked pretty much the same.

The Rotterdam Derby is not an important game in the Netherlands, but it is different in Rotterdam.

The whole of Rotterdam will be excited because of this derby, but it is obvious that Feyenoord always wins, regardless of the fans or the team, they always win.

The number of fans in Sparta cannot compete with the large number of Feyenoord fans. Just outside the stadium, the Rotterdam police sent a lot of police to maintain order. Compared with the fans of Sparta Rotterdam, they are more worried about Feyenoord Fans, the reason is simple, Feyenoord has a large fan base.

Before the game started, the fans of both sides were already scolding each other in the stands. The Feyenoord fans even put up a slogan about Zize.

They seem to have looked up related Chinese words for this, and the sign said "Ice will melt into water sooner or later, and then become parallel imports (parallel imports)"

The word "parallel imports" in English means parallel imports, which is commonly called parallel imports in China. This is a common name in China, but it is not commonly used abroad. It seems that these fans are quite hardworking.

The Rotterdam Derby still attracted a lot of Chinese media. Recently, Qi Ce’s domestic reports have gradually increased, which made Qi Jian very happy. The file in his drawer was specially used to collect the documents related to Qi Ce’s report layout. The bag finally came in handy, and perhaps one day sooner or later, Qi Jian would be too lazy to collect these messages because there were too many of them.

Guo Zhibin is still at the scene today, and now he has put down his work in Germany and came to the Netherlands full-time to track and report Qi Ce's situation.

There seem to be a lot of Chinese people here today?

No, those are not Chinese.

Guo Zhibin looked at the reporters who were also yellow-skinned and black-haired not far away, and looked at the name tags on their chests. They were Koreans.

It turned out that there were Korean players in the opponent team for this game. Guo Zhibin hurriedly checked the information and found that Feyenoord had a Korean international player, Li Tianxiu.

This damn stick is notorious!

At this moment, Li Tianxiu, with his white hair dyed, was being interviewed by the Korean media. This unabashed Korean bad boy was notorious even in Korea. He would beat up opponents, push referees, stop training, and make troubles. .

"There is nothing to say about this game. I heard that there is a Chinese in their team, so I think it is even less of a threat. What is there to be afraid of in a team where even Chinese can play?" Li Tianxiu said in an interview. .

Guo Zhibin became angry when he saw this name. He is a regular national footballer of South Korea. He has played more than 70 games for the South Korean national team so far in his career, and participated in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan with the team.

It was the first time in the history of the national football team to participate in the World Cup. It was in neighboring South Korea and Japan, and there was no need to watch the jet lag. It should have been the happiest World Cup for Chinese fans, but unfortunately it was also the darkest in history. World Cup.

The main problem lies in South Korea. This story must be familiar to everyone, so I won’t go into details.

At that time, Guo Zhibin was still in college. As an avid fan, he went to Japan and South Korea to watch football as a volunteer.

In the 1/8 final between South Korea and Italy at the World Cup Stadium in Daejeon, Guo Zhibin watched the most humiliating game in the history of the World Cup, and this Li Tianxiu kicked the Italian defender Paolo Maldini in the back of the head. Guo Zhibin, an Italian fan, was pissed off.

No one can lose to him... Guo Zhibin looked at Qi Ce who was warming up not far away, and prayed in his heart.

The de Kuyp stadium was full of seats for this game, and the same city derby allowed those lazy fans who traveled with the team to watch the away game at home. Not to mention the scene, the bars outside the stadium were basically full. This kind of hot derby atmosphere usually It can only be seen in the derby in the same city, but it is hard for the police. Every day of the derby, extra police can be sent to maintain order.

The local media in the Netherlands are not very interested in the confrontation between the Chinese and the Koreans. They are more interested in the remarks made by Sparta Rotterdam football director Danny Blind a month ago about Feyenoord Remarks by Nuri Shaheen, a player on loan this season.

Now Zize and Shaheen are going to see the truth on the court. Of course, Blind's remarks were dug up by Feyenoord's mouthpiece media Rotterdam Post to discuss them, especially Zize's poor performance in the last game, and Shaheen. Xin has been very stable this season and is the core of Feyenoord's midfield.

The game is about to start, the two sides have announced the starting lineup of the game, Feyenoord's starting lineup is quite strong, the defense captain Van Bronckhorst, Hofland, Vlaar are all Dutch internationals, midfielder De Gu Ziman and Shaheen, the former is the national team of the Netherlands U21 national team, and the latter, needless to say, has been a regular national player of Turkey early, and there is also Dutch veteran Roy Mackay on the front line.

The lineup of Sparta Rotterdam is much shabby in comparison. Buhari, one of the few international players, is only a marginal international player for Morocco, and Westerveld only served as the second goal of the Dutch national team in his peak period.

Even the youth training camp is incomparable. Blind said that the new star who has been watched by the whole Netherlands is Strowman, who is known as the new Van Bommel, and the gem of the youth training at Feyenoord. Wiener, known as Ronaldinho of the Netherlands Dum was also eclipsed in front of him.

At the De Kuyp Stadium, under the watchful eyes of more than 50,000 fans, the Rotterdam Derby officially started.

Sparta Rotterdam was ready to take the bus from the very beginning. Except for Zize who stayed in the frontcourt and was ready to counterattack at any time, the other players were huddled in the backcourt.

The boos erupted from the De Kuyp stadium, which almost drowned Zize.

More than 50,000 people!

It was the first time for Zize to play in such a big stadium with all the seats full. Yes, even such a big stadium was the first time for Zize to set foot on the lawn.

The Sparta Stadium is not very big, and it can only accommodate more than 10,000 people. The other teams that went there after that are not bad.

This is more than double that of Twente!

And, there were no empty seats!

Zitzer looked up, every position he could see was occupied by fanatical fans, there were also many Sparta Rotterdam fans, all behind the Feyenoord goal.

But the most were Feyenoord fans at home. Facing Sparta's unstoppable state, they unceremoniously booed them.

The boos of at least 40,000 people in the audience were deafening, even overshadowing the voice of the loudspeaker commentator. Every time they booed, they could feel that the lawn was trembling slightly.

This is the influence of the top European leagues and top giants. This kind of scene happens every week in Europe.

Qi Ce has also watched the ball in China, and there are teams with such attendance in the Chinese Super League, but such a fanatical atmosphere, at least sitting in the stands, Qi Ce feels that it is not so crazy.

However, sooner or later, you still have to get used to this kind of stadium. In your previous life, you watched those giant teams broadcasting the top five European leagues on TV. Wasn't that a scene like this? If you can't adapt to this, how can you become a superstar?

Seeing his teammate steal the ball, Qi Ce immediately started to advance, while reaching out to ask for the ball.

Central defender Promes drove forward with big feet. Zize looked at the ball and ran towards the landing point. Feyenoord defender Vlaar just followed him, and the concealed movements of his hands pulled Zize, not letting him go. He holds the ball very well, Zize turns around, stops with his chest when the ball hits the ground, struggles to turn around under Vlaar's defense, and then gives Buhari who comes in from the midfield.

This is the performance of the improvement of technical ability. In the past, Qi Ce was easy to lose the ball under such an intensity of pressing. In addition, the new star was born and Qi Ce further improved his speed and technology. Qi Ce's ability value can now keep up with the Eredivisie. The basic level of the league.

"The Ice Cube boy controlled the ball beautifully! Now Sparta Rotterdam is starting to counterattack!" Coronel was refreshed, and he didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt that Qi Ce's technical level had improved a lot just now. .
