The offense and defense of both teams were extremely sharp. Although they did not score a goal, the scene seemed to be worthy of the identity and status of the World Cup finals, and the fans were delighted.
Robben wasted two good opportunities to score goals. The players of the Dutch team seemed to have lost patience with him. Although he kept reaching for the ball from the wing, the players no longer trusted him and the ball was passed slowly.
Before his feet, Kuyt on the other side became the candidate to distribute the ball.
Of course, the final attack is still ended by Sneijder. Whether it is a sudden kick with the ball or a long shot after receiving the ball, his shooting can pose some challenges to Cassie. His condition this season is indeed extraordinary.
Messi was not fully mature and became the prince's assistant in Rome and Real Madrid. Perhaps God did not want the prince's family to dominate and created an opponent for him. It seems that this opponent is Sneijder.
Sneijder frequently poses threats to Spain, and Spain is naturally not to be outdone. The attacking power of the Matadors is not inferior to that of the Netherlands, or even better.[
The prince dribbled the ball from the wing, passed two players in succession and then passed the ball in. Unfortunately, Iniesta's header hit the crossbar, and the Dutch team escaped again.
Iniesta felt very regretful and squatted on the spot with his head in his hands. He never thought that the goal he must score would be wasted by himself.
However, he quickly got up to participate in the defense, and gave the prince a thumbs up while returning to defense. The threat of the prince breaking through and scoring the ball was too great.
During the transition between offense and defense, Robben finally got the ball, but he still had no intention of seeking cooperation with his teammates. He just dribbled on the right, hoping to help the team equalize the score through his speed, change of direction, and cutting inside. His idea was
Very good.
However, Spain's defensive players are not vegetarians. Capdevila may not be very sharp in offense, but he is definitely a strong defender. He managed to resolve Robben's attack with a tackle without hesitation, even though it was from the Netherlands.
It was a foul ball, but at least it left enough time for teammates to recover.
Seeing that Spain's defense was back in place, the Dutch team had no choice but to slow down the pace of their attack and turned from counterattack to positional warfare.
Sneijder frequently ran around the front of the penalty area waiting for passes from his teammates, but Alonso's constant marking of him made him very uncomfortable. Even if he got the ball, he might not be able to create a chance, because his ability to escape from the spot was also limited.
Not top notch.
However, he still got a chance to turn around, and the ball was also distributed in his path. Kuyt's pass was rarely accurate, which also made Sneijder very relieved.
Leaning on Alonso, Sneijder suddenly accelerated, catching Alonso off guard and losing his position. Sneijder single-handedly entered the Spanish penalty area.
However, Sneijder did not shoot by himself, because the defensive player in front of him would not give him enough space. From the corner of his eye, he saw Van Persie running out of the penalty area. With a thought in his heart, he tapped the ball with his left heel, and the ball appeared at Van Persie's feet.
If he didn't shoot at this time, then Van Persie raised his right foot and hit the ball hard. The ball flew to the blind corner of the goal without any rotation. Cassie could do nothing.
The game went into the second half at the 71st minute. The Dutch team finally equalized the score. The one who contributed to the team was not Sneijder, who played well, nor Robben, who cut inside sharply, but Robin van Persie, who has been reduced to a supporting role in this World Cup.
He used his flexible movement to find good opportunities in the penalty area and finally scored.
Van Persie went crazy and knocked down Sneijder who was passing the ball for him. The two of them celebrated in the Spanish penalty area. Other Dutch players also ran over to join the celebration, and even many
The same goes for the players on the bench. At that moment, they felt that the championship trophy was already in their arms. They wanted to show it to the fans around the world. Look, we are the kings of the world.
Van Markville was also very excited. There was not much time left. An equalizer at this time was completely a symbol of the championship. If they can continue to attack while taking advantage of the morale of the goal, Spain may not be able to withstand it.
The Spanish players looked at the Dutch players who were celebrating wildly and felt very disdainful in their hearts. You are not yet in the lead, so why should you be excited?
The prince saw the resilience of the Dutch team, just like the German team. Never let down your guard until the last moment. They were a little careless just now.
But it doesn't matter, there is still enough time. If Spain can boost their morale and forget about this goal, and continue to attack, it is not an impossible task to break the Dutch gate.
Even if it goes to overtime, it is not unacceptable. In contrast, perhaps the Dutch team is more reluctant to take penalty kicks because their goalkeeper is the unknown Stekelenberg, while Spain's is Santa Cass.
Comparing the two, everyone knows what the result will be.
Bosque frowned and called Xavi and Alonso to his side for instructions. In the next moment, we must first focus on defense, which is the basis for scoring goals. We must prevent the Dutch team from chasing the victory. As long as we can resist their wave of attacks,
Then the initiative will slowly return to your own hands.[
The Dutch team celebrates. The Spanish team kicks off again and the game restarts at the 74th minute of the second half. If you include stoppage time, there are about 20 minutes left. If the victory cannot be won in minutes, it will automatically enter overtime.
.
In the previous life, the outcome was determined through overtime, but the prince did not want to play overtime, because no one knew what accidents would happen, and the prince would not leave any signs of accidents.
Sure enough, the Dutch team relied on their momentum to launch a fierce attack after the restart. Even the two full-backs reached near the baseline, showing a desperate attitude and beating Spain to death.
However, Spain was already on guard. Xavi and Alonso had conveyed Del Bosque's instructions to the entire team. Spain's intensive defense made the Dutch team's teeth useless.
What the Netherlands is best at is counterattacking, but now Spain does not give them this opportunity. You can attack, but I will not give you enough space.
Slowly, the momentum of the Netherlands began to decline. It lost the high spirits after scoring goals and gradually became dull.
At this point it's time for Spain to take control of the game.
Fabregas's role was very obvious after he came on the field. His distribution and fatal pass in the attacking midfielder position were very threatening. The Dutch team also strengthened its defense against him. Van Bommel and De Jong took turns to attack him closely.
Defense limits his performance, but Francesco, who was born in La Masia, has dazzling skills with his feet. A player cannot limit his performance at all. A few passes can cause loopholes in the Dutch defense. (To be continued.
