Chapter 40 Hard Fight
The Rotterdam elite took the lead at home, and the elite team fans in the stands were extremely happy, all of them were cheering and cheering.
However, for Yu Renjie, who was sitting in the stands, he saw something different.
In terms of the players' personal skills alone, this game is definitely one level higher than the Chinese Super League.
But even in this "technical flow" game, Cheng Mo can still play with ease.
The defense is calm and he goes up to participate in the offense from time to time.
If Cheng Mo is at the current level, he can definitely be used as a midfield core.
More importantly, Cheng Mo is only nineteen years old and has infinite possibilities.
In fact, Yu Renjie thought about it almost the same. Among the overall level of the leagues played by those football websites, the five major leagues are the first level, the Portuguese Super League, the Dutch Eredivisie, the Russian Super League are the second level, and the Dutch Second Division, as the sub-league of the Dutch Eredivisie, has been divided into the third level.
The Chinese Super League is also divided into the third level.
Of course, this is just a division of competitive levels and does not involve other aspects such as economic strength and influence.
Moreover, there are also differences between teams of different levels. For example, Ligue 1 is at the back of the first level, while Portugal Super League is at the front of the second level, and the overall gap is about half a level.
But if you only discuss the level of league competition, the Chinese Super League is indeed considered to be at the same level as the Dutch League. Even if you are a little higher, you may be limited in height.
Cheng Mo is currently among the top players in the Dutch League and is about to enter the Dutch League. Of course, there is no big problem to play as the core of the midfield in the Chinese Super League.

The game continued, Zwolle conceded a goal first, but they were not at all confused and were still playing steadily.
The midfield couldn't start, so they actually played a long pass and rushed.
In the 31st minute, Zwolle full-back Azentech pressed to the midfield to get the ball, and passed the ball over the top with a long pass to his forward Benson.
Benson did a good job of unloading the ball on the run, then dribbled the ball and accelerated over Karami, and finally cut into the penalty area to complete the shot.
"Although Benson's shot did not threaten, it has to be said that using long passes is also a good attempt when the midfield cannot find an opportunity." The commentator also noticed Zwolle's tactical changes.
Cheng Mo thought they just tried it twice. After all, the Dutch team is mainly technical and attacking on the ground, but who knew they were actually playing it.
In the following time in the first half, Zwolle frequently used long passes to dispatch.
Cheng Mo on the court quickly figured it out. Zwolle obviously did not intend to rely on Clich's midfield creativity anymore, but instead sent the ball directly to the striker's personal ability to solve the problem.
This approach is actually to bet that your striker has a strong personal ability and will definitely beat the opponent's defender.
After all, long passes are much lower than ground passes.
But if we only discuss things in this game, Zwolle's tactics are very fatal.
The overall strength of the elite team is not as good as the opponent, especially the back line and forward line.
Now that the opponent has given up the midfield competition, he sent the ball to the striker with a low success rate, allowing his forward to beat the opponent's defender.
Cheng Mo is not sure whether the elite team's back line can withstand it.
This probably depends on the status of the opponent's forward.
If the team is in good shape, the elite team will most likely be beaten and will be massacred.
Even if the state is only average, it is difficult for the elite team to deal with, and there is a high probability that they will still lose.
Only when the opponent is in a bad state can the elite team have a chance to make a comeback successfully.
The situation on the court has changed, and Thomason on the sidelines has also seen it, but he has not seen what the problem is.
In the last few minutes of the first half, the elite team encountered dangers in front of the goal, and Cheng Mo had to stay in front of his penalty area and defend at any time.
Thomason on the sidelines was so anxious that he jumped up and down, but couldn't think of any good idea.
On the visiting coach's seat not far away, Zwolle coach Van Schip couldn't sit still, glanced at Thomason, and snorted with disdain.
Fanschip mainly played for Ajax in his player age, but it was not very successful. He was basically a little famous in the Netherlands.
After retiring, Vanschip successfully entered the Ajax youth training camp to lead the echelon, but the area has been around for several years.
Fanschip believes that his coaching ability is absolutely bad, but because he is not famous, he has never been reused.
After being a youth training coach for several years, Vanschip was finally promoted to the first team to serve as an assistant coach.
After a few years of being in Ajax's assistant coach, then in the Dutch national team's assistant coach for a few years, Vanschip finally got enough qualifications and was able to become a head coach.
Vanschip can be said to have climbed up step by step from the bottom of the coaching industry, so he naturally disliked people like Thomason who easily get opportunities based on fame.
Fanschip was well prepared in this game. If the midfield can open the situation normally, then it will play normally.
If the midfield cannot be opened, use this way of playing to find the striker.
Klich is often restricted in Eredivisie, so they have long been familiar with this style of play.
The risk of using this style of play in the Eredivisie is high, but facing a Dutch League team, Vanschip believes that he has a very high chance of winning the game.

During the intermission, the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit dull.
Although the elite team is ahead of the score, everyone can feel that if they continue to play like this, it is only a matter of time before the score is equalized.
"We should be a little bit clear, and we are still ahead in the score now..." Thomason tried to encourage the whole team, but the results were not ideal.
"We will try our best to strengthen our defense in the second half, and you should do better."
Madon, at this time, I finally remembered to hug my thighs?
But to be honest, Thomason's arrangement makes some sense.
After all, the elite team is still the leading side, with only half of the game time left. Let's strengthen the defense together, maybe they will really defend it.
Forty-five minutes, it is not short or long.
Unfortunately, ideals are full and reality is skinny.
At the beginning of the second half, Zwolle launched an attack with the same trick again. It seems that their head coach urged them a lot during the break.
Zwolle directly launched a long pass by central defender Brolls. New Zealand striker Ryan Thomas cleverly removed the ball from his chest and stopped the ball to his teammates. Benson quickly passed by Fischer, and then spiked the ball to deceive Ekman, who was making up for defense, and scored a goal with a burst shot.
"Benson~~~ Zwolle's best scorer, he stood up again to equalize the score for Zwolle!"
"We could have expected Zwolle to score, but we didn't expect the goal to come so quickly."
The commentator was shouting loudly, and a small number of visiting team fans who came to the scene were also shouting for celebration.
The goal was conceded just now in the second half, which was indeed a bit of a blow to people.
"Guys, cheer up. This is our home court, we must defend it!" Taking advantage of the kickoff, Cheng Mo shouted two times, which gave the whole team some agitation.
At the same time, Cheng Mo further retracted his position on the court, and now he is almost a central defender.
"The elite team looks a bit like they are playing against the third central defender, which may be Coach Thomason's tactical adjustment." This change was explained to Thomason again.
Cheng Mo retreated to help defend, and it seemed to have some effect.
But soon, Clich became active again in the midfield.
This is completely like tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall, which cannot be blocked at all.
But there is no way, the situation is better than the human being, so Cheng Mo can only kick it.
The opponent's long pass to the front line, and Cheng Mo retreated to assist in the defense.
The opponent is playing midfield organization, and Cheng Mo has to press it out again to support the team.
"Benson~~, he got the ball again."
"Cheng~~, beautiful steal~~~, although Benson fell to the ground and wanted to make a foul, I can guarantee that this is definitely a good steal."
"Clichy got the ball~~, pass straight from the wing!!"
"Cheng, it's him again~~~, he rushed over and broke the ball out of the sideline!!"
Up and down, back and forth, Cheng Mo became the busiest one on the court, and also helped the team stabilize the defense line.
"The game time has entered eighty minutes, and the score on the field is still one-to-one. I think we may have to prepare for overtime."
"Cheng is everywhere on the court. I think playing as a central defender may be able to better realize his defensive potential~~" The commentator knew that sitting in a blind pussy, and he had no idea how tired Cheng Mo was.
Cheng Mo felt that this was the most tiring game he played after he obtained the system, and he could almost feel how fast his physical strength slot was consumed.
For the first time, Cheng Mo began to worry about his physical strength problems.
But for fans in the stands, or for those who are watching the game through live broadcast, they see another picture.
Wherever Zwolle's offense hits, Cheng Mo's defense follows.
"That guy is too strong, he is really everywhere."
"No wonder the three top three Eredivisie have all been rumored to be with him. With his strength, it's more than enough to play Eredivisie."
"I even think that the Eredivisie can't find a better defensive midfielder than him."
This game happened to be broadcast live by Dutch National Television nationwide, and Cheng Mo once again asked Dutch fans to get a good idea of him.
Amid Cheng Mo's exhaustion, the Rotterdam elite defended the score of 1:1.
Beep~~
The referee whistle, and the ninety-minute regular game time ended.
Next is half an hour of overtime.
Chapter completed!
