The atmosphere in the Dutch locker room was lively, with a burning fire of revenge burning in everyone's hearts.
Two to one, the lead was not Spain, which scored first, but the Netherlands.
He scored two goals in a row and reversed the score, giving everyone hope of revenge.
But thinking of Li Chuanqi's goal... the faces of the Dutch defenders turned serious.
Of course, Van Gaal saw it and enlightened: "Lee's ball was just an accident. Our defense against him in the first half was very successful!"
Success?
From a certain perspective, it was indeed a success. After all, Li Chuanqi was only allowed to complete one shot.
One shot, one goal, 100% success rate, there is a lot of luck involved.
The Dutch defenders breathed a sigh of relief.
Van Gaal nodded slightly in his mind and turned his attention to the attack.
To defeat a team like Spain, you can only destroy their will with more goals, so offense is the top priority.
This is not to say that defense is not important, but the Dutch defense did a very good job in the first half and froze Spain's sharpest knife.
"quick!"
Van Gaal looked at Robben, Van Persie, Sneijder and others and said: "Pass the ball as fast as possible, break through as fast as possible, and tear apart their defense!"
Robben is not opposed to this style of play at all. He is already known in world football for his speed.
Van Persie doesn't have much objection. Although his speed is average, his reaction speed is very fast. If he wants to play in a rigid manner with a team like Spain, he may lose ten times after playing ten times.
So we need to speed up.
Sneijder nodded and passed the ball quickly. For him, there was no problem.
…
The atmosphere in the Spanish dressing room is a bit depressing.
Lagging behind, Spain has been in this situation for many years.
After winning the European Cup in 2008, Spain was basically the leading side against any opponent.
The only time was in the 2010 World Cup group match against Switzerland. In that game, Spain fell behind and failed to come back.
Since then, Spain has never lost a match against any team, let alone fallen behind.
This feeling is very unfamiliar, causing the players to be a little confused and have doubts in their hearts-could it be that our playing style is wrong or that there is a problem with our tactics?
Bosque said solemnly: "There is no problem with our tactical arrangements. The only problem is that they are better able to seize opportunities! If our ability to seize opportunities is stronger, we will be in the lead. Both of their goals are due to luck.
Element!
Especially Van Persie's goal, maybe it will only happen once in a hundred games."
Van Persie's diving header...
Everyone nodded.
"We need to speed up when attacking!"
Del Bosque looked at Xavi and said: "Pass the ball faster, reduce cross passes and back passes."
The Dutch team used fouls to stifle the Spanish team's quick counterattacks time and time again. In order to firmly control the ball, Spain unknowingly returned to its old ways.
Bosque was very dissatisfied with this.
Harvey frowned, is this my fault?
Pique stepped forward to speak for Harvey: "Coach, I think the problem with our offense is not the speed and direction of the pass, but the core of the offense should be adjusted."
Costa's face looked ugly, while Li Chuanqi's face was calm.
Spain was already making such adjustments in the second half of the first half. There are some things that are okay to do, but it hurts to say them out.
Pique continued to say desperately: "Lee is completely frozen by the opponent. We should pass fewer passes to him and let him contain the opponent's defensive strength."
Juanfran said coldly: "If you don't pass the ball to him, how can he contain it? Are the Dutch team stupid?"
Costa said calmly: "Did you score the goal in the first half?"
When Pique was about to retort, Ramos stood up and said, "Don't argue. Should you pass the ball to Lee or to him? He is still the core of our offense."
The locker room became quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Li Chuanqi and Harvey.
One is the person involved, and the other is the organizer of the team's offense.
Xavi smiled and said: "I think Sergio is right. I will pass the ball to Lee if he should pass it to him!"
Li Chuanqi said calmly: "It's okay, you can play however you want. As for scoring goals... I can score goals!"
Harvey glanced at Li Chuanqi and frowned, "You don't want my kindness?"
Del Bosque felt that Li Chuanqi was out of anger and explained: "Li, you have to find a way to solve their containment problem and make more moves."
Can more movement solve it?
Li Chuanqi did not argue with Bosque and nodded.
I can't score without the ball?
When he entered the locker room, he checked his mobile phone. There were countless messages in the Santa Malaga group. Pablo was worried about him. Liag gave a solution to the problem - @ Santa Málaga The Most Speechless
Dude, did you forget to grab some points?
One word awakens the dreamer.
This is the confusion caused by being in the game.
The first World Cup was new and nervous for Li Chuanqi.
Facing the Dutch team's pursuit and interception, he got into trouble, forgetting that he still had a strong premonition and could still grab points.
So is it difficult to score goals?
Li Chuanqi felt relaxed after finding a solution to the problem.
As for Pique's outburst, this is of course normal. The Spanish locker room is not his world yet.
When that day comes, there will be no Pique in the Spanish dressing room.
Maybe this day is not far away!
Del Bosque began to plan the tactics for the second half.
…
After a fifteen-minute intermission, the players from both sides returned to the court. El Salvador's New Water Source Stadium came to life again, and huge cheers sounded.
The decisive battle of the second half is here!
"Lee! Smash their goal!"
In the players tunnel, a Spanish fan yelled at Li Chuanqi.
This sound caused the Dutch fans to burst into laughter.
Break our goal?
What a joke, he only had one shot in the first half, and if Blind had handled the ball faster that time, he might not have even shot.
There is no chance to shoot and smash our goal?
"Yes! Come on Li, you must come on..."
A Dutch fan shouted loudly at Li Chuanqi.
Li Chuanqi nodded to the Dutch fan and gave him a thumbs up.
The Dutch fan opened his mouth wide and looked at Li Chuanqi as if he was watching something. Then he said to his companion: "He actually gave me a thumbs up. Doesn't he know that I was mocking him?"
The companion burst out laughing.
"drop!……"
As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started. Van Persie kicked the football back to half-court, and the Spanish midfielder began to press.
The Dutch team quickly moved the football to the frontcourt and launched an attack. Busquets completed the steal in front of the penalty area, and Spain launched a quick counterattack.
The football came to Juanfran's feet, and Li Chuanqi quickly retreated to respond.
Juanfran quickly transferred the football to Li Chuanqi's feet. Li Chuanqi did not stop the ball and passed it directly to Xavi, handing him the responsibility of organizing the ball.
Xavi moved the football to the left, and Spain launched an attack from the left.
The crowd of reporters on the sidelines lamented: "Spain has given up on the right wing, given up on Li..."
Alba moved forward, Iniesta made a diagonal pass, and Alba quickly made the pass!
It was a low kick. The football flew half a meter away from the turf, and the Dutch penalty area was in chaos.
A red figure flashed in the chaos, rushing to take action before Flair.
Li Chuanqi magically appeared in front and kicked in the air!
The football changes direction and flies towards the goal!
Dutch goalkeeper Sillisen had no time to react and could only watch the football fly into the goal!
"drop!……"
The referee blew his whistle and declared the goal valid!
