With the 11th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season coming to an end, the November international match day has arrived, and the Netherlands only has the task of visiting Luxembourg in the fourth round of the World Cup qualifiers.

But before that, there was an international A-level warm-up match against Belgium at the Amsterdam Arena.

On the morning of November 8, Van Kerry and club teammate Blind came to the Hondlo training base to report, preparing for the warm-up match with Belgium on November 10 and the World Cup qualifier in Luxembourg on the 14th.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Van Dijk arrived at the Hondlo training base. Van Kerry greeted Blind and Wijnaldum and took the initiative to greet him. He stood on his tiptoes slightly and naturally put his right hand on Van Dijk's shoulder. Looks very familiar.

Van Dijk was a little flattered, even though his status in the Dutch national team was higher than that of Van Kerry.

After all, Van Dijk is just a solid central defender in the Premier League, and he is only slightly famous at most. And Van Carey is the player mentioned the most by the media in the Premier League this season, no one!

Van Dijk vaguely felt that Van Kerry had bad intentions. He glanced at the other party suspiciously and said warily:"Kerry, tell me what you have to say. I feel very panicked when you look at me like this.""

"In fact, nothing happened."

Van Kerry patted Van Dijk on the shoulder and said with a smile:"Relax, I just wanted to ask if you have any ideas about playing in a better environment?"

"Isn’t it great to play football here?"

Van Dijk didn't react at first, but then his pupils shrank and he looked at Van Carey in disbelief:"You...you mean to ask me if I have any ideas about playing for Manchester United?"

"That's right."

Van Dijk can become the world's number one central defender in the future, and his brain is calm and decisive enough. He shrugged and said:"How can a club as big as Manchester United take a fancy to me?"

"Virgil, you are belittling yourself too much. As far as I know, your aerial challenge, long pass, and game concentration are all very good. The key is stability. You are a very good supplement for Manchester United. Together with Daley and I, I believe You can integrate into the team very quickly."

Van Kerry said very seriously. Van Dijk's suspicious eyes became solemn. Full of longing for the future, he tentatively asked:"Can I really join Manchester United?"

"certainly! As long as you are willing to."

Even if Van Kerry has not recommended it to head coach Mourinho, he is not guilty at all, because... any coach with a little discernment can see that Van Dijk's future is limitless, otherwise Klopp will not be able to do it a year later." Setting a record transfer record for a defender, he introduced Southampton captain Van Dijk.

With beautiful visions in mind, Van Dijk took his simple luggage to the luxurious dormitory of the training base, and obviously began to consider the possibility of going to Manchester United.

Everyone has dreams. , even more so for professional players, and a top club like Manchester United is the childhood dream of many professional players, even if his childhood dream is Barcelona

Two days passed quickly, and the Netherlands team's warm-up match against Belgium at the Amsterdam Arena arrived.

Judging from the rankings updated by FIFA last month, Belgium has dropped slightly, from the original second to fourth. The Netherlands is four positions higher than last month's ranking, rising from the original twenty-fourth. to twenty.

The FIFA ranking does not represent the final strength, but it can show that Belgium's results in the last few years are quite good.

It is normal for the Netherlands, which did not qualify for the European Cup finals in France, to decline in FIFA rankings. However, many Dutch media believe that the national team's steady rise in rankings will be the main theme in the future.

After three rounds of European qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup in Ross, the Netherlands has two wins and one draw with seven points, surpassing France to rank first in Group A. It has a high probability of directly qualifying from Group A. The points will definitely skyrocket by then. Maybe he will return to No. 1 in the world as announced in August 2011!

There must be dreams, but the results require players to work hard to win one game after another.

At 8 o'clock in the evening local time, the Netherlands' warm-up match with Belgium kicked off. The two teams obviously want to focus on the next World Cup qualifiers. The lineups have been reserved and they focus on training. European football players like Van Kerry and Hazard The famous man is on standby on the bench.

Despite this, the starting lineups of both sides are still strong. The home team's formation is 433. The goalkeeper is veteran Stekelenberg, defenders Blind, Van Dijk, Weltman and Bruma, Schas, Sneijder and Viner. Doom sits in the midfield, with Lens, Jansen and Klassen at the forefront of the striker.

The official formation given by Belgium is 4231, with goalkeeper Mignolet, defenders Vertonghen, Kabasele, Seaman and Meunier, double midfielder Witsel partnering with Diver, three forwards Mertens, De Browne and Carrasco, with Lukaku at the front.

Comparing the lineups of the two teams, Belgium is obviously better. The Dutch players at home broke out with strong combat effectiveness in the fanatical home atmosphere, and it was inextricable from the visiting team Belgium!

Unfortunately, the strength is inferior after all, and coupled with the lack of breakthrough maniac Fan Kerry on the wing, the offense has never been able to directly put pressure on Mignolet.

As time went by, Belgium, which was stronger overall, created opportunities one after another.

If Lukaku hadn't missed opportunities one after another, Belgium would have taken the lead.

In the 36th minute of the game, the visiting team finally scored.

De Bruyne made a signature pass from the wing and found Carrasco who was in excellent condition. The ball reached the player and Carrasco pushed and shot past the net.

The 0:1 score continued until the end of the first half. The starting players returned to the locker room. Fan Kerry and other substitutes came to the court to warm up. The long-lost shouts rang out from the Amsterdam Stadium auditorium:"Kerry! Kerry! Kerry!"

While Van Carey kept waving, he also consciously walked towards the die-hard stands, where his grandma Van Valerie sat in the front row of the first floor.

Since it is now halftime, many fans have left their seats to go to the stadium store to buy food or drinks, leaving many empty seats. Stadium security is not as strict as in the game to require players and fans not to have too much contact.

Van Valerie asked her grandson loudly:"Kerry, are you confident that you can score in the second half?"

"certainly!"

Fan Kerry smiled confidently:"Grandma, have you ever seen me not scoring a goal in a game?"

"Yes~"

Before Van Valerie could speak, an old man next to him said:"Didn't you not score a goal in the league before the last international match day?"

"……"

Van Carey was speechless, and Van Valerie smiled happily. It was obvious that she hadn't seen her grandson look embarrassed in a long time.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another. Before changing sides, both sides made adjustments to their lineups. The Dutch team replaced Klaassen with Brenet, and Belgium replaced Mourinho with Foucault. Nye.

The substitution adjustment that the Amsterdam Arena hoped to see did not occur until the 60th minute, when Van Kerry replaced Janssen at the top.

"Kerry! Kerry! Kerry!!"

Overwhelming cheers, China Channel 5 commentator He Wei shouted:"Van Kerry finally came on as a substitute under the long-awaited call. The Netherlands trailed Belgium 0:1. He will help the Netherlands equalize the score in the remaining 30 minutes. ? Let's keep our eyes open and wait and see.……"
