Vol 4 Chapter 42: Persistence is victory

The new water source stadium can accommodate 55,000 fans. The official data before the game is that there are about 20,000 Chinese fans who have successfully purchased tickets, but from the close-up shots given by the live guide, there must be more than 20,000.
The red sea of ​​joy formed by Chinese fans completely suppressed the orange sea formed by Dutch fans, so the outbreak was also overwhelming.
The Chinese players on the court performed very well in the cheering of Chinese fans, and fully played their personal best.
So the Dutch team that gradually increased the offensive has never found a good opportunity, the score is still 0: 0.
Dutch midfielder Sneijder became more and more irritable as the game time passed, because Robben had not tried to break through and his organizational tasks became more burdensome. He had to increase the running range to find The Chinese team's defense is empty.
Soon, Sneijder ushered in the opportunity to directly confront Tang Zheng.
As the offensive player who is the closest to the striker on the midfield line, Sneijder has many opportunities to contact defensive midfielder Tang Zheng, but the first five minutes of attack is based on the idea of ​​coach Van Gaal. Limited, his position is not so forward.
Now it's different. With head coach Van Gaal releasing a signal to strengthen the offense on the sidelines, Sneijder finally ushered in a one-on-one opportunity with Tang Zheng.
Sneijder's foot technique is delicate, but he is not a secret classical front waist. He can use a superior foot technique to connect a few people and then send a scalpel-like accurate straight ball. He relies more on running passes and organizing the ball. The team attacked in the frontcourt.
In addition, Sneijder's positioning skills are very good, his feet are also very hard, and his long-range ability is extremely strong. In the 1/8 finals, Mexico has his credit for reversing the final.
Facing Tang Zheng who is over one and nine meters tall, Sneijder, who is just over one and seven meters tall, wants to use his short stature and low center of gravity to shake Tang Zheng away, but Sneijder's upper body has just finished shaking, and his feet have not yet had time. The ball disappeared ...
Tang Zheng's prediction was quite accurate. The long leg of his right foot stretched forward and stabbed the ball between Sneijder's legs.
Fortunately, Venaldum had a good selection. He happened to be in the direction of Tang Zheng's poke, but he was not hit back by the Chinese team.
The Dutch team once again organized an offensive. Old-faced Sneijder did not try to break through Tang Zheng again. After all, the breakthrough was not his offensive method.
Sneijder can be recognized as the best player in world football in 2010. His mental adjustment ability must be very good, so he organized the team's offense according to the way he used to play football.
At the tenth minute of the game, the Dutch fans in the stands burst into a huge momentum, especially when the football came to Robben's feet, the voice came to the highest pitch from the beginning of the game to the present.
Kuyt's forward insertion took away Lu Liang's defensive attention, Tang Zheng had not yet run into place, Robben suddenly sprang up the idea of ​​accelerating breakthrough in the cry of his fans, and ignored Tang Zheng's coming Defense.
Li Xue's speed can be said to be outstanding at the Super League level, but it is not enough to look at the whole world, especially when he is facing the speed mad Robben.
Defensive players all over the world know Robben's inward goal and know how to defend, but there are few defensive players who can keep up with his breakthrough rhythm, at least Li Xue is not in this range.
Li Xue also has self-knowledge and fights and retreats.
However, at this time, Robben buckled the ball towards the bottom line on the inside of the left foot, while the upper body's center of gravity leaned forward. Changes towards the bottom line.
As a result, Robben slammed the football to the left with his left instep and started in situ.
When Li Xue realized that it was too late, he could only watch Robben's lateral breakthrough along the inside line.
But within a second, he was relieved ...
Robben Yuguang saw Tang Zheng coming to the defense and wondered whether it was affected by the extremely low breakthrough success rate in the past. He did not choose to accelerate the breakthrough, but used the left instep to pass the ball to Sneijder who came forward.
Tang Zheng didn't start completely in the process of defending Robben, but Sneijder found a long-range shot, so he didn't hesitate to choose to shoot with anger.
"Boom ~"
Football and Sneijder's right foot came into close contact and made a muffled noise.
But Tang Zheng was tall with long legs and stretched his feet in one block. The football hit a huge parabola on Tang Zheng's right foot shoe. He jumped high, then fell, and went out of the bottom line.
Dutch corner kick.
Corner attack is one of the important methods of the Netherlands team in this World Cup, but Chinese team coach Lippi has targeted deployment before the game, and the player's attention is very concentrated. In addition, the goalkeeper Yan Junling is in a hot state. The Dutch team's corner attack has always been Did not play an ideal role.
※※※
The game time passed quickly, and in 20 minutes, the scene was still dominated by the dominant Dutch team, and the Chinese team passively defended.
Of course, there is no gap to what the media and footballers predicted before the game.
It is quite normal for the gap in overall strength to form an offensive and defensive extreme, because the overall technical content of the weak side is definitely not as good as that of the strong side. If the weak side and the strong side choose to play against each other, there will be no suspense.
If the weaker side can consolidate the defensive advantage and wait patiently for the opportunity, there is a great possibility of an upset.
Throughout the world of football, there are numerous cases of weak to strong.
It is recognized that the weakest Chinese team in the quarterfinals is not necessarily the ultimate loser!
Therefore, the Dutch coach Van Gaal realized that the team's offense could not bring a real threat to the serious Lin Guo's goal, and signaled that the team's attack speed slowed down. The overall formation retreated a bit, forcing the Chinese team to defend the premise. To give the team more offensive space.
Whether it is Robben or teenager De Pei, you need a certain sprint space, otherwise it is difficult to maximize the power.
It wasn't until the twenty-fifth minute of the game that the Dutch team created an excellent opportunity.
The Chinese team scored a quick counterattack. Tang Zheng passed Sneijder and Venaldum without direct pass space, and then the long pass accurately found Lu Liang, who was inserted on the left high speed, and the latter looked at Gao Lin. In the forward direction, an imaginative straight pass came in. As a result, Gao Lin, who received the ball, thought too much and then was defended by the defender Indi who blocked the ball.
The Dutch team played a quick counterattack on the Chinese team. Two or three-footed passes came to Kuyt's feet, which hadn't had time to return. The latter sent a wide range of transfers. Left Ludepei stopped the football and directly hit the goal.
The hot shot of Depe in this World Cup is extremely powerful, and the angle is also more tricky. Fortunately, the Chinese team goalkeeper Yan Junling is very focused and he flicks his right hand to block the ball from the bottom line.
"Oh oh"
In response, Chinese fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief.
Lippi, the Chinese coach, saw that the Dutch team's quick counterattack was simple, direct and efficient. He quickly ran to the sidelines and made several tactical gestures toward Tang Zheng.
Blind ran to take a corner kick and Tang Zheng tapped his head to express his understanding.
Just now the opportunity for a quick counterattack was rare. Several players failed to actively participate in the counterattack according to the restlessness in their hearts, including Tang Zheng. The quick counterattack after the quick counterattack was extremely dangerous. Be careful first in the next game.
Of course, the Chinese team has not created absolute opportunities, it can only be said that the forward line is greatly reduced under the influence of defensive pressure.
However, the Chinese team's tactics before the game did not pursue goals, but to ensure that the goal is not lost.
The best result of the match is a zero goal loss for the goal, because the overall weak Chinese team can only pursue the victory without losing.
And this victory does not mean scoring a goal to win the game, but dragging the game to a penalty shootout.
Perhaps the defense is a little uglier, but the pursuit of victory is by any means. Modern football pays more attention to victory than process.
Even if the process played so well, the final loss will still be criticized and criticized.
Winning is different. Even passively defending for 89 minutes, but scoring in the last minute, the tactics are reasonable.
this is the truth!
Besides, the defense is not embarrassing.
※※※
The Chinese team continued to passively defend. The Chinese fans in the stands did not give up to cheer for this reason. Instead, they became more and more excited as the game progressed, and the cheers waved higher than waved.
Even if their shouting policy is more than 80 meters away from the Chinese team's defensive half, they don't care.
The Dutch fans who came to the scene did not let much, and the cheers made were deafening.
But the results they hope to see have not changed, and they are unwilling.
The Chinese team's defense that retreated to half-court defense was solid, and goalkeeper Yan Junling was in a state of bravery, making people helpless.
The close-up scenes of the live guide began to take care of the Dutch coach Van Gaal frequently. The meaning I want to express is very obvious. Should I change the team's tactics?
Van Gaal's plans before the game are actually many, but because the Chinese team's defensive attention is very concentrated, premature exposure of colorful technical tactics is not conducive to the team's more threatening offensive.
In addition, Robben's state does not seem to be in the best state, and many tactics are difficult to play.
During this period of Robben's poor condition, Sneijder's offensive organization was under great pressure. Depe, one of the biggest discoveries of the Netherlands team in this World Cup, was under great pressure on the offensive end and could not surprise the team's offense.
Therefore, British Sky commentator Andy Gray joked: "Memphis Depe seems to have lost all his magic under Zhang's defense. Except for a long shot in a quick counterattack, it tests Yan. At other times, it is similar to sleepwalking."
The implication is that the defense was very surprised.
In the past four games, Deppe has performed amazingly, and the potential is quite amazing, so the coach Van Gaal only included him in the starting lineup.
However, the game is in excellent condition, meticulously defensive, and can run up when the Chinese team is attacking.
Thirty minutes before the game, except Tang Zheng and Yan Junling were impressive, the performance was the same.
Robben and Sneijder were subjected to intangible pressure given by Tang Zheng, and De Pei was restricted, which means that Van Persie, who was at the front of the front line, fell into isolation.
The three players of the Dutch team ’s three, four, three attack system are very important. The three players are closely marked to varying degrees, and the offense cannot function normally. As time passes slowly, the Dutch players on the field become more and more irritable and start to play. Choose a blind long shot.
Sneijder and Robben have a certain long-range ability to try out long-range but it is understandable, but players such as Venaldum, Blind, Kuyt and so on have also tried to make long-range shots, which has become unusual.
Head coach Van Gaal is keenly aware that the player's mentality has changed, but he did not run to the side to stop the players, but let them play. Anyway, now the team has an absolute advantage, and the Chinese team has no way to launch a threat that threatens Silesson to keep the goal. attack.
The number of shots of the Dutch team began to increase slowly. Robben, who was still unable to make it, seemed to gradually find his state. His inward long-range shot or pass can cause a burst of exclamation over the new water source stadium.
Of course, the exclamation is only for Chinese fans, the Dutch fans are excited, dancing, looking forward to the goal.
However, Yan Junling, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, is in a hot state and keeps the goal high and low.
During this time, Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team, frequently appeared on the broadcast screen ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Lippi in the broadcast screen looked very nervous. From time to time, he rushed to the side of the court to give orders to the players on the court, indicating that the players must Concentrate on the game.
As Robben returned to his state of courage, Tang Zheng's pressure also became greater and greater, causing him a headache.
The horrible voice of He Wei, the commentator of the Yang 5 on the live commentary, clearly expressed concern: "The game is about to come forty minutes. The Dutch offense seems to be getting closer and closer to breaking the goal. I do n’t know if our guys can top Hold the pressure and stick to the score of 0: 0 until the end of the first half ... "
The speech was not over, the commentator Xu Yang said in a deep voice: "Can you enter the halftime break with a score of 0: 0? In addition to watching Yan Junling's state maintenance, Tang Zheng's double fists can't beat the Dutch team's four. fist."
Tang Zheng again blocked Sneijder's long shot at the front of the big penalty area. In the refraction of the football cup, Feng Xiaoting kicked the sideline. The live guide specially gave Tang Zheng a close-up shot of his face.
What's different from the previous wave is that Tang Zheng's brows are very deep, and the word "chuan" is so obvious that Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV are extremely worried, especially female fans.
Chinese fans at Xinshuiyuan Stadium also saw the same worry. Fortunately, the ‘Dragon Team Fan Club’ was quite professional. Instead of chanting because the Chinese team was always at a disadvantage, it was growing louder and louder.
Perhaps it was the cheering and cheering of the Chinese fans on the scene that brought additional attribute growth. The passively defending Chinese team has always maintained the score of 0: 0 until the end of the first half.
British Sky commentator Andy Gray said seriously: "If the Chinese team can maintain resilience in the second half, it may not necessarily draw the Netherlands in the whole game, drag the game into overtime, and even enter the penalty shootout! Come on! Persistence is victory !! "
