The most low-key superstar

Chapter 416 Refreshing

"Lennon's chance!! Awesome! The captain of the Netherlands, Van Bronckhorst, squeezed Lennon away and got stuck in Lennon's way forward. A successful defense!"

Nickel's transfer was very ingenious. If it hadn't been for the beginning of the game, the Dutch team hadn't fully invested in the offense and kept a lot of defensive power behind, maybe this time Lennon really had a chance.Although Lennon's speed and technique are very good, his body prevents him from having greater success.

"Robben! Oops—what a trip, what a chance!"

"Wow!! Beautiful turn! Foul! Nicole made a half-turn and blocked Van Bommel behind him. Van Bommel fouled and kicked Nicole to the ground."

The game has been going on for 10 minutes, and both sides are trying to squeeze the opponent's room for movement, but the effect is not very good, especially the Dutch's tactical play makes people who are familiar with the Dutch full attack and full defense feel very uncomfortable surprise.

'It's almost a replica of Mourinho's Inter Milan. '

"This is a betrayal of artistic football, shame!!" Cruyff's point of view is very clear. This gentleman has a very high status in Dutch football, but he has been staying in Barcelona, ​​where he insists on his ideal of artistic football. , and now the Barcelona team is also very competitive, and has played football that has fascinated the world for several consecutive seasons.

Today, the Spanish TV station invited Cruyff as a guest on the broadcast. Seeing the crowd-squeezing tactics played by the Dutch team, Cruyff couldn't help being furious, but it wasn't the opening 10 minutes. In fact, since Malvik came to power, the Dutch team has started this style change. Cruyff has been criticizing around the corner, but Malvik is obviously a very characterful head coach, He was unmoved at all and still insisted on his football philosophy.

This is why Cruyff broke out today.

Many people smiled knowingly when they heard Cruyff's words. Although Cruyff's status is lofty, the Dutch will no longer have any stupid behavior of changing coaches just because of his words.

In a sense, Cruyff is one of the initiators of Dutch football's long civil unrest.

England's defensive strength is strong today, especially Gerrard and Carrick teamed up in the middle, cutting off the Dutch's offensive organization abruptly, and the wings were a little timid because of England's consecutive attacks after the opening.

"Nickel has been passing the ball since the beginning, is he a striker?"

"Whoever said that a striker can't organize an attack? It's wonderful. Capello's move is very clever." Lineker couldn't help but admire.

"It's refreshing, the England team played very flexibly."

Carrick's long pass arrived, and Nicole suddenly accelerated, running from behind Van Bommel to in front of him, and then made a pick-and-roll action, followed by a left turn, bypassing Van Bommel.

The Dutchman followed Nicole subconsciously. He thought that the football had been changed by Nicole. In fact, Nicole didn't touch the ball at all, but it was just a feint.

In terms of speed, Van Bommel is far behind Nichols.

Throwing off the opponent's entanglement, Nicole rushed to the Dutchman's penalty area.

The Dutch team did not try their best to encircle Nicol, because at that time just now, Nicole kept scoring the ball from the two sides, and the Dutch had to defend.

However, if Nicole goes deeper, he will be surrounded by the opponent. Although Nicole is strong, he is not arrogant enough to challenge the entire defense line alone.

"Nicole, stop! Send back—"

"Lampard!! Shot!! Oh - great save! Stekelenburg, he's very focused."

'Well——' The sigh of regret resounded throughout the Green Point Stadium, and then there was a neat applause. Although there was no goal, this was an inspiring attack!

Lampard has been following Nicole all the time. He knows that the opportunity will definitely come. This ball is that when Nicole faced the siege of the two central defenders of the Dutch team and Van Bommel, he suddenly stopped suddenly, turned around and called the ball back. Push, Lampard hit the ball with a powerful long shot!

The power is great and the angle is slightly insufficient, which gives the Dutch goalkeeper a chance to perform.

"Nicole is not a pure striker. England's offensive organization is not in the midfield. It is not Lampard or Gerrard, but Nicole. Nicole is the core of England's offensive organization." Cruyff's football The level is definitely high enough, and soon he saw the essence of England's tactics.

"I see!!" Malvik could be considered to have seen some tricks, but he didn't agree with Capello's approach in his heart. As long as you defend against Nicole, wouldn't your tactic be over?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Capello who was standing not far away.

Maybe the game is too important, the two head coaches are standing on the sidelines, and from the camera, they are not far away.

However, Marvik couldn't control others. He called a Dutch player over, pointed at Nicole and gave a lot of advice. Dezeuu nodded to show that he understood, and then turned around and ran back.

"Hehe, I know I can't hide it, but the question is, can you guard against it?" Although Capello didn't hear what Marvik said, he could roughly guess it, nothing more than keeping an eye on Nicole , cut off his route to catch the ball?

Of course, Capello's tactics can't be that simple. Putting all hopes on Nicole is not all that a successful head coach has to do. In his tactical arrangement, Lampard will also be The team's deputy core, the main role is to share the pressure of Nickel.

Both Van Bommel and De Zeeuw focused their attention on Nicole, which greatly reduced the chances of Nichols getting the ball, but Van Bommel and others were also very depressed, because Nicole's position selection was very tricky, he always Being between the defensive midfielder and the central defender has driven the Netherlands' defense line to become a bit bloated.

"Unexpectedly, completely unexpected, from the beginning to the present, the Dutch team did not play a wonderful attack, but the England team continued to threaten Stekelenburg's gate."

As for Sneijder, who has been bullied by Gerrard's powerful body for a long time, he can't find him, and Van Persie's small body is under the care of Terry and Ferdinand in turn, so he can't get any good opportunities. Haven't found a way yet.

Lampard dribbled the ball into the Dutch penalty area as Nicole attracted the attention of his opponents.

Just when the Dutch defender intercepted, Lampard made a sudden stop and knocked the ball back.

"Be careful, Nicole!!"

Nicole squeezed away Van Bommel beside him, because of Lampard's breakthrough, Nichols only had Van Bommel by his side this time.

"Pass! Strike! It's Lennon again!!"

Nicole did not break through with the ball as Van Bommel thought, but sent the ball directly to the right, and Lennon had already started sprinting.

The moment Lennon received the ball, he made a sudden effort, and then his left foot became the support point of his body, and his whole body slid past Van Bronckhorst at a worrying angle.

"What a fast speed!! Beautiful! Lennon has successfully broken through!!"

In front of Lennon, there is a smooth road! !No defense at all!
In the penalty area, Lampard, Wright Jr., and even Gerrard have already rushed in.

What Van Bronckhorst was defending just now was Lennon's direct pass, because this position is the most suitable 45-degree angle pass, so he was easily broken by Lennon.

The Dutch defense line has been squeezed into the small penalty area by Lampard and others. They are all guarding against the opponent's cross. As for whether Lennon will cut in again, they are not worried, because the Dutch captain has followed Come up, Lennon wants to break through the inside cut, which is not realistic.

"Necella!" shouted the narrator!

Lennon's choice surprised the Dutch a bit, and it wasn't the smartest choice.

Van Bronckhorst was already waiting in his path.

"Let's see how Lennon chooses?"

"Go, go!" England fans suddenly became excited and cheered for Lennon loudly.In their opinion, Lennon should play more manly.

"Too hesitant. If I pass the ball earlier, maybe I can form a more threatening offense."

Lennon looked up, flicked his ankle, the football flew out from under his feet, and ran directly to the middle of the penalty area line and the small penalty area, where there was no one.

However, Nicole rushed in from outside the penalty area at high speed. When Lampard and the others pushed into the penalty area just now, Nicole did not follow in. Instead, he stayed behind and kept advancing at a slow speed. Van Bommel also followed By Nicole's side.

When Lennon started to pass the ball, Nicole started to start. The comparison between the two is the speed of the start. Obviously, Van Bommel is not as good as Nicole in this respect.

"careful!"

"Danger!!"

The Dutch fans exclaimed! !

Because they all found that the defenders of the Dutch team were brought into the penalty area by the opponent, and there was no defensive player in front of Nichols. This was a good opportunity to shoot.

And Van Bommel followed behind Nicole.

"Be careful behind you!" The fans in England were also very nervous. Van Bommel had no choice. He tackled the ball from behind, and he could only fight hard.

Nicole seems to have thought of the other party's reaction long ago. Nicole dunks the ball behind him with his right foot, dodging Van Bommel's tackle!

"Oh!! Beautiful! You can shoot!!"

"spoon!?"

Although Nickle's shot had a large arc, the speed of the ball was not slow. With a strong rotation, the football flew to the upper right corner of the goal.

Stekelenburg always moved from the left to the right, flew up, stretched out his right hand hard, and tried to hit the ball, but the ball bypassed his hand with a large arc and plunged into the ground. net.

"The ball... went in... lah!"

"GOOO... OOOOOOOOAL!!!"

"WORLD CLASS GOAL!!!"

"Beautiful goal! Very beautiful! Nicole! Score a fantastic goal and help England score first in the semi-final!"

"Long live-Nickel!!" The England fans who were nervously waiting for the result jumped up happily. The volcanic cheers of England fans could be heard everywhere in the Green Point Stadium. It was as if the stadium was boiling. All boiling scenes.

"Wonderful, it's Nicole's fourth goal in this World Cup, beautiful scoop! Nicole's composure is amazing, invincible performance, England took the lead in nine 10 minutes of the game."

"At No. 16 minutes into the game, the situation on the field changed. For a long time, the England team, which was generally believed to be inferior to the opponent in overall strength, played a beautiful attack, and their captain Nicole took the lead in breaking the deadlock."

"The tactics of this attack are very subtle. It seems that the England team has already carried out such training. Their tactical deception is very successful. The Dutch defensive force has been squeezed to the goal by the opponent. On the contrary, it should be paid more attention to. Player Nickell didn't get the tactics he deserved."

"Fortunately, it's still early and we still have a chance, but we have to pay more to get back the disadvantage." The Dutch commentator was very frustrated. Like all Dutch fans, he always hoped to see a devastating attack. This group of exaggerated England kicked home.

They are all familiar with Capello. This guy is a firm supporter of the typical 1:0 doctrine. Let his team score first, then his opponent will be very painful. Now the Dutchman is that opponent.

When Nickel saw the ball into the net, he turned around and ran to the sidelines. The teammates on the bench jumped out of the bench happily, waving towels and other items in their hands.

England is in a mess, while the Dutch players are extremely frustrated. This ending is not what they want. Although they did not think that their opponents would surrender before the game, they are very confident that they can defeat their opponents. into the final.

But at this point in the game, they had almost no good chances. Instead, the opponent's offense played very efficiently and scored a goal.

"It's really a bad result, but it's not even worse. After all, the game has just started and we still have a lot of time."

England's celebration didn't take long, the referee stopped them, and the game restarted. The Dutch team was more careful this time, and the England team also wanted to calm down. The scene of the game was relatively dull.

"Attack! We want to score goals! We want to enter the final! We want to be champions!" Dutch fans kept chanting slogans. They were always full of confidence in their team, and the goal of the uncrowned king was always the championship.

Perhaps the encouragement of the fans played a role, the Dutch finally organized a few decent attacks, and Robben on the wing began to exert his power.

Robben retreated to meet Sneijder, who had been unable to open the situation in the middle, and sought an offensive line from the side. Sneijder played well in this World Cup and completed the task of a playmaker well. Otherwise, he It will not be so high in the selection of the Golden Globe Awards.

The goal of Nicole just now reminded him of the Champions League final more than a month ago, 'Is it still going to lose to him? '

Before the game, Sneijder vowed to compete with Nicole on the court. However, the change of Nichol's position prevented them from having a chance to face each other. Sneijder wanted to compare the organization of the offense. , but Gerrard, a brute, relied on his strong body and two long legs, so that Sneijder couldn't pass the ball at all.

Fortunately, there is Robben.

De Zeuu's sudden jump in gave Sneijder some space, and Sneijder sent the ball to the wing, this time not to Robben, because the opponent's emphasis on Robben gave Sneijder a new opportunity. The choice, behind Ashley Cole.

Dirk is very familiar with these English players, he has played with them too much in Liverpool.

"Beautiful pass, that's what we want from Sneijder! It's up to Kevin Dirk."

Driven decisively broke forward along the wing, passing the ball near the center just before England's defense was in place.

"Dukiter, pass the ball—"

"Oh...no!! What a good opportunity. The Dutch team almost copied the pattern of the opponent's goal just now. The pass of Kevin Dirk was very accurate, but there were no players behind us to keep up."

Nickel's presence in the frontcourt is like a nuclear deterrent, so that the Dutch team had to retain more defensive strength, and the goal of Dirk Dirk's pass was Van Bommel, but today Van Bommel stayed behind and did nothing. Didn't come rushing for a shot as usual.

Perhaps aware of the problem, Malvik still gave priority to ensuring the offensive power. After all, they are now the one behind, and only offense can save them from defeat.

"Oh——Hart dropped his hand. It was so dangerous. Thanks to Terry, he made a timely clearance and the England team resolved the attack."

"Van Persie!! Shot——, so dangerous!! Hart finally got through that tense time and began to show his talent. Van Persie's shot was of great quality, but Hart reacted quickly and blocked the ball with his left hand. It's the third corner in a row for the Dutchman."

"Ashley Cole, Cole has done a great job. His clever positioning allowed Dirk to kick the ball out of the baseline. During this period of time, the Dutch team's offense has been somewhat effective."

"Shoot - Sneijder's long shot hits Carrick, bounces back to the middle, oh, it's so fast, Nickel catches the ball first, foul, Dezeuu is going to get a card, oh no Ah, there is absolutely no need for Lampard to do this, and it is estimated that the referee will not let him go."

There was controversy on the field. Seeing the opportunity, Nicole suddenly started to get the ball before Dezeuu, and was ready to counterattack. However, Dezeuu, who was a little panicked, pulled Nicole savagely in a panic, and Nicole The hesitant person was pulled when he was in the air, so he fell a little hard this time. Lampard, who couldn't see it, came up and pushed De Zeuu.

Next, of course, the players on both sides accused each other not too friendly.

Soon, the experienced referee successfully suppressed it with two yellow cards. The England team just took advantage of this opportunity to get some relief and finally had a breathing plan. During this period, the Netherlands' offense was very open. Robben and Kevin Dirk have performed well in their respective positions.
