Vol 4 Chapter 46: Penalty shootout, worried

The Chinese team made the second substitution adjustment for the whole game. In the backcourt, Wan Jinyou Liu Jian unexpectedly did not appear in the center defender position, but instead appeared in the left defensive midfielder Tang Zheng originally sat in.
As the position of the broadcast screen changed, Tang Zheng stood between Feng Xiaoting and Ren Hang, closer to the goalkeeper Yan Junling, which meant that Tang Zheng dragged the post to the central defender at the end of the first half of overtime.
The formation of the Chinese team changed from the original four two three one to the current five four one, leaving only Gao Lin as a tactical pinch in the front, Lu Liang and Hao Junmin left and right, Wu Xi and Liu Jian partner in the midfielder.
Since the Chinese team coach Lippi has decided to stick to the defense until the end of the game, the Chinese players on the field are extremely tactical, and they strictly follow the tactics arranged by the coach Lippi, plus Tang Zheng ’s sense of position The characteristics of extremely strong and reading ability have not changed until the end of the first half of overtime.
0: 0
The players of both sides of the new water source stadium are extremely worried, because there is only the last second half of extra time. If they can't decide the victory or defeat, then the two sides of the game will enter an extremely cruel penalty shootout!
Whether it is Dutch fans or Chinese fans, they don't want to advance to the penalty shootout.
Because the penalty shootout test is no longer the technical and tactical ability of both players, the test is more the psychological quality of the players.
Although Dutch players have experienced countless battles, their penalties in international competitions are not satisfactory.
The single line of Chinese fans is more pure. Except for a few players who have delicate technical skills and excellent psychological qualities, most other players dare not compliment them. Know that the previous Chinese players are notoriously poor in psychological qualities ...
If you advance to the semi-finals and stay in the penalty shootout, the heart of the fans on both sides of the game may be a little difficult to accept.
Of course, the Dutch team coach Van Gaal did not want the game to enter the penalty shootout. After all, the Dutch team's overall strength is stronger. When the game reaches the penalty shootout, it will be the player's psychological quality and luck.
For luck, Van Gaal has never been blunt. He is worried that his bad luck will affect the team.
The Chinese team coach Lippi thought before the game that the draw continued until the end of overtime, so he was conscious of adding a penalty shootout training class to the team in the preparation for the quarter-finals.
But ... the real penalty shootout is not training but can be changed. It is more dependent on the individual's ability to resist penalty and luck.
End of the first half of overtime, there is no rest time, the two sides change sides and fight directly into the second half of overtime.
"Beep ~"
With the whistle of the referee Marco Rodriguez, the second half of the 2014 World Cup Brazil's last quarter-time overtime kicked off, and the enthusiasm of the new water source stadium has decreased significantly.
Apparently, the fans of both sides felt that the penalty shootout seemed to be hooking their fingers at their respective teams.
The Dutch team with the kick-off advantage did not have any tact to organize the offense, but Zhi directly moved the ball to the Chinese team to defend the 30-meter area, and then several core players such as Sneiser and Robben created a chance to break.
However, the Chinese team itself left little offensive space for the Dutch team, and the defensive players were closely connected to each other. Coupled with Tang Zheng ’s key defense and Yan Junling ’s amazing play, the Dutch team ’s offensive was slow. Did not knock on the door of the Chinese team.
The live guide was given to the Dutch coach Van Gaal again. It has been three minutes since the second half of the overtime. The Dutch attack has not improved yet, and Van Gaal has the last card in hand.
The meaning is very obvious, shouldn't it be played when the game is stuck?
Actually, it is not that Van Gaal is unwilling to make the last substitution adjustment in the whole game, but there is no substitute at all on the bench. It is better to leave the last card in the possible penalty shootout ...
※※※
The time lapsed from one second to one second, and the Dutch players who dominated the game began to have impatience again.
They thought that instead of patiently organizing the attack, it was more direct to threaten Yan Junling to keep the goal.
Starting with Huntelaar who came off the bench, Robben and Sneijder started to try long shots, but the Chinese team was almost overcrowded before the big penalty area. The football wanted to go through a lot of siege to test Yan Junling is like a dream.
Football was either blocked by Chinese players, or the anti-aircraft gun was put directly, even if there was a fish that missed the net, it was easily captured by Yan Junling.
Robben had much less pressure when Tang Zheng retreated to the back line to play back, but he was characterized by the need for space, and the Chinese team players did not give him any breakthrough space at all, so his performance was still unsatisfactory.
The impatience of Dutch players is now increasing in long shots. Huntelaar, who came off the bench, didn't close the ball before a goal. He kicked directly on Yan Junling who had pressed the football under him.
Fortunately, the referee Rodriguez whistled in time, and appeared in the place of the incident for the first time, standing between the players of both sides, which played a good buffer role and resolved possible physical conflicts in advance.
At the same time, Chinese coach Lippi pulled Sun Jingbo who was about to come off the bench to explain what he was doing.
Immediately after the referee Rodriguez resolved the possible conflict between the two sides, the live director switched the camera and gave it to the visiting team coach.
He Wei, the Yang 5 commentator, brightened his eyes and said excitedly: "If there is no accident, our last substitution adjustment will be spent on the offensive end. Sun Jingbo's feet are very delicate in technology and have a good speed. The physical fitness on both sides has declined. Sending Sun Jingbo under obvious circumstances is likely to work wonders! "
"Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy! Coach Lippi made a series of substitutions for defense in the previous series, which is likely to confuse Van Gaal. The real move is the last substitution adjustment in overtime!" The guest Xu Yang held the commentary with both hands, passionate: "Dutch players will not consume less physical energy than us. If Sun Jingbo comes off the bench, the Dutch team will be very troublesome!"
The Dutch head coach Van Gaal, who is not far away, naturally paid attention to what happened in the coaching area of ​​the visiting team while he was paying attention to the game. He embraced his chest with his hands and frowned, Sun Jingbo's characteristics have been basically cleared through the last two games. If you really come off the bench in the second half of overtime, it will be a huge threat to your defense!
Continue to maintain the offensive is easy to lead to insufficient back defense, Sun Jingbo is very fast, the skills underfoot are very delicate, the defensive player's physical energy consumption is huge, facing the abundant physical Sun Jingbo is prone to mistakes.
Isn't it really necessary to leave the suspense of promotion to the penalty shootout?
At this moment, Robben shot a long-range shot directly from the inside of the kick. When the referee received instructions from the sidelines, his finger pointed to the sidelines, instructing a competitor to make substitution adjustments.
The live director gave a close-up shot at the first time. Sun Jingbo stood next to the fourth official, waiting for his appearance.
The red number is replaced by the number '18', which means that Sun Jingbo replaces Gao Lin.
Although Gao Lin was slightly dissatisfied with the replacement of head coach Lippi, he paid tribute to Lippi, and his physical fitness was obviously overdrawn. It would not have much effect to stay on the court. It may be effective to change Sun Jingbo. !
Seeing the Chinese team's substitution adjustment, the Dutch team coach Van Gaal quickly hooked his finger towards the nearest Blind, who jogged intently.
Sun Jingbo's replacement of Gao Lin is an adjustment that many commentators have speculated. The overall strength of the Chinese team is not as good as the Dutch team. Withdrawing a defensive player and replacing an offensive player is not in line with Lippi's style.
The adjustment of position is aimed at the pressure created by the striker against the Dutch team's back line. Sun Jingbo, who comes off the bench, is bound to have plenty of physical fitness, while the Dutch team's defensive players are nearly exhausted. There will be more Dutch players concerned about Sun Jingbo's activities, which is beneficial to China. The team dragged the game into a penalty shootout.
Sun Jingbo's first appearance from the bench brought a great threat to the Dutch team's defense. He received a precise long pass from Tang Zheng at the front of his own big penalty area and quickly came to the attacking 30-meter area.
Facing Blind and Vlar's frontal defense, Sun Jingbo forcibly used speed to break through, and then shot a cold arrow at the front of the big penalty area, forcing goalkeeper Silesson to make a key save.
"Oh oh--"
The Dutch fans in the stands subconsciously exclaimed with fear.
Tang Zheng's long-range shot hit the junction of the beam and the post, and now it is Sun Jingbo who tests Silesson.
Know that the game has come to the second half of overtime, once a goal appears, it is equivalent to lore!
Was shocked by the cold sweat and Van Gaal. As he prepared the corner kick of the Chinese team, he signaled the team to be more patient and not to shoot blindly.
Immediately, he turned to look at the substitute goalkeeper Krull, beckoning him to warm up.
Tang Zheng and Sun Jingbo's direct connection is like knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, giving the Dutch team huge psychological pressure, coupled with the head coach Van Gaal's key advice, their attack is no longer so stormy.
However, with the decrease of time, the two sides pay more attention not to attack, but to defense.
Especially Sun Jingbo tested Silessen, the Dutch team's offense did not dare to play so aggressively, and chose to go step by step.
Progressive may be effective in the first ninety minutes, but as the game comes to the end of the second half of overtime, the physical energy consumption of the Dutch players is also very large. Once the rhythm slows down, the player's enthusiasm for running runs down invisibly.
The rhythm dropped, and the Chinese players who ran for nearly 120 minutes gained a precious breathing opportunity.
The time came to the 117th minute of the game. British Sky commentator Andy Gray said indifferently: "If there is no accident, the game will most likely enter the penalty shootout!"
Commentary guest Martin Taylor nodded: "According to the strength of both sides of the game, the penalty shootout should not appear, but the Chinese team played very well in this game. The defensive end did meticulously, and the quick counterattack can bring the Netherlands team. Enough threats, penalty shootout is the best reward for them! "
※※※
Ten seconds before the fifteenth minute of the second half of overtime, the fourth official held up the electronic card with a one minute stoppage time on the sidelines, which means that there is still the last one in the last quarter-final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. minute.
If there is no more points, then you have to enter a cruel penalty shootout!
At this time, Argentine players sitting in front of the TV couldn't help but guess the national team's semifinal opponents.
Is the Netherlands?
Or the Chinese team?
It is clear that most Argentine players want their opponents in the semifinals to be the Chinese team.
Why?
The overall strength of the Chinese team is obviously much inferior to the Dutch team. The game is still a draw. In addition to the Chinese team itself performing well, it is the Dutch team ’s light enemy.
The targeted deployment before the game is not enough, and the preparation plan is not enough, so the game cannot enter the stalemate stage for a long time to bring a continuous threat to the Chinese team's defense.
If they face the Chinese team in the semi-finals, Argentina has one hundred opportunities to easily defeat the Chinese team and then advance to the final!
Messi, who was sitting in front of the TV, also hoped that the opponent in the semifinals would be the Chinese team. First, the Chinese team's overall strength was insufficient. Second, he had not yet won Tang Zheng at the club level, so he wanted to win the national team.
Fans of the new water source stadium also naturally saw the fourth official ’s high injury time with a one-minute stoppage electronic card. The momentum they created has been significantly weakened, because according to the game situation, it is very likely to enter a penalty shootout!
Lippi and Van Gaal stood on the sidelines instead of daring to attack forward, but pressed their palms back and forth, palms down.
Fans who know the ball know that this is to ask for stability.
At this time of the game, no one dares to take risks.
The injury stoppage time passed about half a minute. It is surprising that the Dutch player Blinder who controlled the ball suddenly kicked the ball outside the left side of the Chinese defense area.
Mistakes?
still is?
Just when everyone is puzzled ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The live guide gave the answer.
At the same time, on duty referee Marco Rodriguez pointed his finger to the sidelines. Fans sitting in front of the TV watching the game can see that the Dutch team goalkeeper Kluer is ready to play.
"Replace the goalkeeper?" Yang 5 commentator He Wei turned his head to look at the normal Silesson: "Could it be that the outstanding Silesen was injured? Shouldn't it!"
The commentary guest Xu Yang glanced down at the detailed information prepared before the match and interrupted He Wei ’s remarks: "Silaisen should not be injured. I think the substitution of the Dutch team is to deal with the next penalty shootout! Newcastle United ’s Kluer ’s ability to make a penalty is more efficient than West Layson ... "
Silesson and Kruhl performed a substitution handover ceremony, and British Sky commentator Andy Gray shook his head and smiled: "Louise Van Gaal's last substitution adjustment is surprising, he actually used the last card in The goalkeeper adjusts, and Tim Klull, who has a stronger ability to shoot, has replaced the starting goalkeeper Jasper Selesen! "
Seeing this substitution adjustment, Lippi raised an eyebrow, worried.
The same is true for Chinese players on the court. Before the end of the match, change the goalkeeper, and then think of Blind deliberately kicking the ball out of the sideline, this ...
Isn't this a clear fight for a penalty shootout?
Li Xuepeng threw a sideline ball. Tang Zheng, who had the ball, had not kicked the ball to the frontcourt. When the referee was on duty, the match ended.
"The game is over! The last quarter-final of the 2014 Brazil World Cup will be a brutal penalty shootout!"
Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice is full of expectation, if you listen carefully, there is a trace of worry.
