"Van Bommel, the pass... Robben, Robben got the ball. There was too much space after the assist by Reveller, there was no defender in front of Robben."

"Roben, pass the ball!"

"Van Bommel, shoot!"

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Two to zero, two to zero. Van Bommel's long-range shot helped PSV extend their lead. PSV led Lyon [-]-[-] at home. PSV played very well, they played in the Breaking out of the group stage and now leading Lyon [-]-[-]. Eindhoven hasn't performed so well in the Champions League for a long time."

"In this game, Revieux had no way to contain the young player Robben. After the start of the first half, Eindhoven used Robben's side to constantly attack Revieille. Lyon's The right side was completely played by Robben in the applause. Robben, the best rookie in the Netherlands in 03 and the No. 2 genius player of the Golden Boy Award, still performed well in the Champions League."

Seeing Van Bommel's goal, Rist applauded it.The passage of time can never be stopped, and it will soon be the end of February 2004.The Champions League is back on.

This is a season of dark horses rampant. It should be said that after entering the 21st century, it is the first time that such a large-scale dark horse legend has appeared in European football.Of course, this is also the last dark horse season. After this season, dark horses have basically disappeared in European football.Riester is now in the Netherlands to watch the PSV Eindhoven game.

Eindhoven was placed in Group C, which included Deportivo, Monaco, and Aek Athens.In history, this group appeared in Deportivo and Monaco.But this time is different.

After losing Giuly, Monaco's offensive strength dropped sharply.Giuly is definitely the most important link in Monaco, but without this link, his strength has changed a lot.They were double-killed by Eindhoven at home and away, and also defeated by Deportivo.Of course, Monaco also had a peak moment, humiliating Deportivo when they challenged Deportivo in the away game.

But because he lost a lot of games, he was finally eliminated in the group stage.In this group, Eindhoven appeared as No.1 and Deportivo appeared as No.2.In the history of reaching the Champions League final, Monaco, who is in the Champions League, has not yet shown the most dazzling light, but has been strangled in the group stage.Didier Deschamps didn't achieve the peak results of his coaching career either.On the contrary, they fell into the sand in the group stage.

There are reasons for the decline in Monaco's strength.After all, there is no general like Jiuli.In addition, Eindhoven is much stronger than in history. With players such as Robben, Van Bommel, Bouma, Drogba, Di Natale, Yaya Toure, and Griguera, it is ultimately the Monaco was eliminated.

"Harry, Van Bommel is really good."

Rist did not praise Robben.Because Robben's genius is recognized in European football.With Kenyon switched to Chelsea.The competition for Robben between Manchester United and Chelsea is becoming more and more intense.Manchester United relies on Ferguson's strong appeal and Manchester United's strong appeal.And Chelsea rely on strong funds.Together with Kenyon and Ranieri, they personally came to persuade Robben's father.And of course the personal relationship between Kenyon and PSV is very good.

When Eindhoven stars such as Stam and Ruud van Nistelrooy were introduced, Kenyon had very good contact with the senior management of Eindhoven.Adding up these aspects, Chelsea gradually gained the upper hand, and Robben's father also regretted his cooperation with Manchester United.Instead agreed to join Chelsea.

Therefore, a genius like Robben does not need to be praised by Rist, but what Rist praises is Van Bommel.PSV's Van Bommel was definitely the best Van Bommel, even better than later at Bayern.When defending, he can retreat, when attacking, he can use the pass to mobilize the offense, and he can use his own long shot to break the opponent's goal.Being able to go up and down is the absolute core of Eindhoven's midfield.At present, Yaya Toure is for Van Bommel.

"We Eredivisie clubs just can't keep good players. If we can keep good players, none of the European clubs are our opponents."

Fan Hanyi was very angry.The Eredivisie giants such as Eindhoven and Ajax are the hardest hit by the Bosman Act.Without the Bosman Act, it would be impossible for the stars trained by Eindhoven and Ajax in the past ten years to be so weak in the Champions League.If Ajax does not have the Bosman Act, then that group of talented players can create an Ajax dynasty.Similarly, Eindhoven, which came out from the late 90s to the 21st century, is also very strong.If there is no transfer and those players are kept, then great results can be achieved in the Champions League.

Rist smiled.Eindhoven and Ajax hate the Bosman Act extremely, but for agents like Riester, Bosman is a hero.Without the emergence of the Bosman Act, agent predators like Rist, no matter how many good players they have in hand, are just vassals of the club.There is simply not much room for bargaining in front of the club.

Like Muscadi, Bill Bosman is nothing at all.It was precisely because of the emergence of the Bosman Act that he became a powerful agent in Italian football and once became a broker as famous as Figel.

"Essien, Essien gave the ball to Carrière... Dorasso came to meet, Carrière, Carrière lost the ball."

Lyon has started their seven consecutive championships, and this season is Lyon's three consecutive championships in Ligue [-].Carrière is known as the "New Zidane" in Ligue [-]. Of course, there are many such titles.Just as Argentina has "Maradona successors" every year, and Brazil has "Pelé successors" every year, so does France.

However, those who can get this title are very strong or talented players.Carrière is such a player. His skills with his feet are better than Zidane's. Last season, he was the Ligue [-] assist leader.But he is not Zidane, he is not a star and a half worse than Zidane.When he was young, he was brushed off by professional teams several times because of his poor physique.Even now, his health is very poor, at most he can barely guarantee to play professional football.

He has always been based on his excellent skills and passing.But when Carrière took the ball and wanted to pretend to pass it to Dorazo, and then wanted to break through, he was knocked down by Yaya Toure.Yaya Toure saw that the referee didn't say anything, so he dribbled the ball directly.The referee definitely didn't want to blow the whistle, but because Carrière was too exaggerated.

With just a slight bump, Yaya Toure didn't make any other moves, and Carrière flew out.In fact, Carrière really flew out, but the referee's eyes were full of fuss.

Carrière has the absolute worst body in the pro league.And Yaya Toure, as an African player, is tall and tall, with excellent physical strength.Facing Carriere, he bumped intentionally, and of course Carriere flew out.It's a pity that from the referee's point of view, this is very inconsistent with the various collisions in professional games.So although Yaya Toure made some foul moves, Carrière fell to the ground exaggeratedly, and the referee judged that Yaya Toure was effective for stealing the ball.

"Yaya Toure, he's very fast."

Yaya Toure's absolute speed is not fast, but the running with the ball is still quite good all of a sudden.It is because Yaya Toure is tall and has long legs, and when he runs, he strides forward, and few people can guard against it.This time is no exception.In just a few steps, we have already arrived at Lyon's halftime.

"Essien, Essien is coming up. Essien's running range is very wide. Although Van Bommel, Park Ji-sung, and Yaya Toure come up in turn, there is not much to do in front of Essien. It is a pity that Lyon's midfielder Essien alone in defense. Yaya Toure, pass the ball!"

Essien has great body, good physical strength, and strong defensive ability, so he has a large defensive coverage in Lyon.As a result, Hiddink avoided the middle and mostly played on both sides during the game.Although Essien is strong, Lyon does not have many defensive players in the midfield.Including Doraso, Carrière, and Juninho Jr.'s defensive capabilities are not strong, so Essien alone can protect the middle at most.

Yaya Toure is still young, so his tactical execution ability is still good.Although Yaya Toure was born playing wild football, he went to Europe to receive formal training since he was [-] or [-] years old, so he was not as loose in tactics as those African players.Hiddink emphasized several times not to rush in the middle, so Yaya Toure passed the ball directly when Essien came over.

"Di Natale has the ball. Kacapa comes up and Di Natale has good speed. Di Natale breaks through Kacapa."

Di Natale's performance in Eindhoven has been getting better and better in the past few years, especially his skills and extraordinary skills are very suitable for the Eredivisie.The same is true after Di Natale got the ball this time, getting rid of Kacapa easily.

"Di Natale, shoot, it's a fake shot!"

"Drogba, shoot!"

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Di Natale easily broke through Kacapa, so that Muller could only come to make up for it.It's a pity that he missed another point of Eindhoven by making up his position in this way.That is the mighty Drogba.Di Natale's pass was in place, and Drogba scored the third goal of the game with a direct shot.

"Three to zero. After the Ajax youth team shocked the European football last season, Eindhoven performed well this season. It is basically confirmed that they will enter the quarterfinals."

Lyon is gone, Monaco is gone.Rist was very happy, because after they were wiped out, PSV came out.Although Eindhoven is a giant in the Eredivisie, just like Ajax's entry into the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season shocked European football, Eindhoven's entry into the quarter-finals of the Champions League is a dark horse.After all, compared with ten years ago, the Eredivisie now is completely different.

The first dark horse of the Champions League this season is about to be born. (To be continued..)
