Sports City Stadium.

The World Cup semi-finals between the Chinese team and the Netherlands will be staged here.

The atmosphere of the court was still full of fanaticism. When Situ Yunbing walked in the player's passage, he stopped at the front of the Dutch team.

The tall and big Van Dijk stared at Situ Yunbing with a smile. After the former master and apprentice looked at each other for a moment, they hugged each other.

Van Dijk smiled at Situ Yunbing and said, "Boss, when I knew that the Chinese team participated in the World Cup, I had a premonition that we would definitely meet on this stage!"

Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "But I don't want to see you at all."

"This joke is boring. In my opinion, the Chinese team is not weaker than the Dutch team.

It’s hard to say who will win today.”

Van Dijk said sincerely, without any pretentiousness.

He knows Situ Yunbing better than anyone here, or even the Chinese players.

At the same time, he also has almost faith-like trust and respect for Situ Yunbing.

Situ Yunbing patted his shoulder and said blessed: "Don't slack off in the club. We will try to retire more than I did in the Champions League!"

Van Dijk is 31 years old this year. Due to his strong physical fitness, his peak period may last for another two years, but it is finally late in his career.

He now has 7 Champions League trophys, which is the same as Situ Yunbing's winnings. The difference is that Situ Yunbing has one in Monaco, while Van Dijk won one more Champions League in the past four years under Alonzo.

He only needs to win the Champions League again to surpass Situ Yunbing in the number of championships!

When it comes to big brands, the biggest star in this game is Van Dijk!

Van Dijk was about to leave and revealed his true feelings, saying: "Boss, I really want to play under your command before retiring, even if it's only one day, one game."

Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "It's up to man to do things, and there may not be no chance. Okay, it's about to start soon, be prepared."

The players of the Chinese and Dutch teams all looked at Situ Yunbing's back as they walked out of the player channel. They all understood Van Dijk's respect for Situ Yunbing. After all, Situ Yunbing was his mentor, which not only discovered him, but also made him successful.

It has been dominating the world's number one central defender for nearly eight years!

Van Dijk even ranked second in the Golden Globes two years ago!

This is the highest ranking in the Golden Globes selection after Cannavaro won the Golden Globes as a guard!

After Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium, he met Ronald Coman on the sidelines. The two nodded tacitly to each other.

The Sports City Stadium was hustle and fans cheered for the team they supported without reservation.

"CCTV, CCTV, good evening, all viewers, welcome to watch the semi-finals of the 2022 Qatar World Cup!

The World Cup has entered the final stage, with only 4 games left, two semi-finals, one third place match, and one final!

The first semi-final to be played today will be played against the Netherlands!

I believe Chinese fans still remember the Chinese team's game against England in the last round of knockout match. Unfortunately, in that game, Zhao Fenghua, Luo Xin and Luo Cheng, the three absolute main players, announced their injuries and withdrew from the World Cup after the game. They sat in the stands to watch the game today.

On the other hand, our opponent, the Netherlands, has a complete lineup, and the Netherlands has shown unprecedented stability in this competition!

In 3 group matches and 2 knockout matches, they scored a total of 5 1:0.

Winning doesn’t need to be earth-shaking, 1:0 is enough!

Moreover, the Dutch team's five goals were scored by 4 players, including 1 penalty kick, 1 corner kick, 1 free kick and a goal, and 2 goals were scored in sports games.

It can be said that the Dutch team showed strong defensive strength in 5 games, but the offense was obviously weak. However, as the Dutch media expected before the game, the Chinese team was the best opponent that the Dutch team encountered to advance to the finals, no doubt.

I think if the three absolute main players of the Chinese team can make the appearance, the Dutch media will definitely not dare to say that.

I believe that no matter what situation we face today, the Chinese team will definitely do their best to win the game, and our tenacious fighting spirit will not make us bow to the Dutch team.

Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams now.

The Chinese team started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Chen Jingjie.

Defenders: Abuduhaimiti, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Lei.

Midfielder: Zhang Zhibang, He Haolai, Huang Bozhou.

Forward: Huang Zichang, Wu Lei, Guo Xuantu.

Today, He Hao comes, Huang Zichang and Guo Xuantu replace Luo Cheng, Luo Xin and Zhao Fenghua who cannot play.

Hope they can perform beyond expectations.

The Netherlands started 4312 today.

Goalkeeper: Cialisen.

Defenders: Dumfries, Van Dijk, Dericht, Blind.

Midfielder: Van Denbeck, Druen, Wijnaldum, De Jong.

Forward: Berwin, Depp.

There were no unexpected starts or adjustments on the Dutch team.

Now the pre-match kickoff ceremony will be held, and the game will officially begin.”

When the Chinese national anthem was played, all Chinese fans in the audience sang loudly.

This World Cup is coming to the final stage, and the whole world suddenly realizes that the Chinese team is attracting attention like the protagonist. No matter whether they win or lose today, they will reach the end of the World Cup.

Either go to the championship or the third place.

After the pre-match kickoff ceremony, the two teams took a photo of the pre-match and then prepared to start a battle.

Today the captain put his armband on Bai Yuanfan's arm. Before the Dutch team kicked off, Bai Yuanfan specially clapped his hands to boost the morale of the team and made everyone cheer up.

The referee whistle sounded, the Dutch team kicked off, the Chinese team firmly defended in the backcourt, and the Dutch team was not in a hurry to attack. Even after the last round of the game, Fleet Street had reminded other teams that if they met the Chinese team, they must put pressure on the Chinese team from the first minute of the game!

Don't let the Chinese team delay the game.

But the Dutch team obviously took the words of Fleet Street as if they were indifferent.

Ronald Koeman has a Buddhist mentality and always believes that the Dutch team cannot lose their own position.

This is actually the same mentality as Situ Yunbing leads the Chinese team. They are both teams that play defensive counterattacks, so why bother with the opponent's attitude?

The threat points in the Dutch team's offense are actually clear at a glance.

The two forwards, Berwin and Deppy have personal dribbling and breakthrough ability, front midfielder Druen has organization and back insertion ability, while De Jong and Van Denbeck are just roles in organizing the series offensive, and the full-back assists are also limited.

You can imagine that the Dutch team is mainly defense.

The Dutch team's defensive iron triangle in this competition is the most stable. Wijnaldum, Van Dijk and Dricht almost make the opponent's attack group feel desperate!

Of course, the strong players Blind and Dumfries are indispensable to assist, and Van De Jong himself has played central defenders before, so there is no doubt about their ability to return to defense.

The Dutch team, which has stronger overall ability on the defensive end, must seize the opportunity of the opponent's overwhelming pressure.

This leads to the encounter between the Chinese team and the Dutch team, which will lead to a tacit stalemate in the game.

When the Dutch team made a small investment in positional offensive to the frontcourt, Depp tried to cut inside the wing and was intercepted by Zhang Zhibang. Then the Chinese team launched a fast attack and did not choose to waste time in the middle and backcourt.

If Zhao Fenghua was on the court, Situ Yunbing would choose to do so without hesitation.

But unfortunately, today the Chinese team does not even have a midfield commander. If the Dutch team does not press the pressure, there should be no problem with the foot down, but once the opponent presses the pressure, the midfield may become in chaos.

In that case, you will be like a cocoon and play with fire and burn yourself.

It's better not to fall down. Anyway, the Dutch team's offense is not strong. The Chinese team took turns to intervene in the midfield today. He Haolai and Huang Bozhou will fight to the frontcourt to meet at any time, so that Situ Yunbing can also see if there is a chance to break through the Dutch team's goal.

It would definitely be difficult, but if you don't try it, you will have no chance at all.

Even if it is a penalty shootout, the Chinese team is at a disadvantage no matter how they look at it. After all, there are three people who are not as famous as Luo Cheng, Luo Xin and Zhao Fenghua, both in terms of psychological quality and pressure resistance or their own free throwing skills.

When Guo Xuantu quickly dribbled the ball on the left side of the front court, Wu Lei directly prepared to attack the offside in front.

Situ Yunbing is definitely the one who knows the Dutch team most familiar with Van Dijk.

It is very difficult to break through Van Dijk, so I won’t mention one-on-one, and basically I have no chance.

The only chance to break through his defense is to hit the back!

Therefore, if Wu Lei acts as a fulcrum, then the incision work can only be handed over to Guo Xuantu, but obviously Guo Xuantu is still lacking in experience.

The most deadly thing in the Chinese team's offense today is not that Luo Cheng and Luo Xin are missing, but that Zhao Fenghua!

Because without Zhao Fenghua, it can be said that the Chinese team no longer has the ability to pass the deadly first time in the frontcourt!

When Van Denbeck was preparing to attack Guo Xuantu with Dumfries, Guo Xuantu stopped suddenly and picked the ball and changed direction to the middle area. Van Denbeck stretched his legs and was dodged by Guo Xuantu. At the same time, the football also crossed from a height of half a meter above the ground.

When Van Denbeck stopped again and turned to chase, Guo Xuantu was already trying to pass a straight pass from the frontcourt near the middle of the road.

But Guo Xuantu was obviously worried that his pass would be confiscated directly by goalkeeper Xilaisen, so he did not dare to use too much force to this ball.

As a result, Wu Lei sprinted against offside but slowed down, while Van Dijk took two steps back and took off and headed the ball to clear the ball.

When Van Dijk headed the ball to clear the ball, Wu Lei also jumped. He hit Van Dijk in the air one step later, which almost lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

The referee blew a foul on Wu Lei and warned him verbally. Wu Lei supported Van Dijk, who was staggering after landing, and the two had three years of teammates in Hamburg. Even though they rarely had the chance to fight side by side, they were definitely not strangers.
