The Netherlands on the field, with Sneijder's counterattack this time, changed from a defensive attitude at the beginning, and immediately opened the offensive banner, waving it towards the hinterland of Spain!
As for the Spanish side, defense is not their strong point, and they are already accustomed to Barcelona's midfield ball-control tactics. Therefore, offense is the only option for Spain!
So, when two teams with the same aim of attacking like crazy are put on the same field, you can imagine what kind of sparks will collide!
Unconsciously, the game came to the end of the first half amid the crazy attack between the Netherlands and Spain!
To be honest, in the past 45 minutes, the rhythm of the offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides was too fast. Even Li Yi, a professional player, and the other England players waited until the commentator gave a hint that the first half was about to end.
I just realized that the emotional competition time passed so quietly, more than half an hour passed, and the first half of the competition was almost over!
However, after 45 minutes of fighting, their physical strength was not slack. After the two sides relaxed the rhythm of the game for a while, in the last minute of the game, there were two consecutive handicaps on the field.
Both sides are very, very, very dissatisfied with the penalty!
At that time, it was the 44th minute of the game. Due to the previous violent attacks, they failed to pose any serious threat to the Dutch goal. After getting the ball this time, Xavi slowed down the pace of the game in a timely manner.
Come down!
Taking the ball, he came not far from his club teammate Iniesta. Then, Xavi and Iniesta on the court, very shamefully, brushed up their statistics! [
With a "touch", Xavi passed the ball to Iniesta.
After a "touch", Iniesta didn't stop the ball at all. With the instep of his foot, he knocked the ball back to the former.
…
When the Dutch team also needed a break and ignored the pair of "data brushers" working hard near the midfield, Xavi and Iniesta only took about 20 seconds to give each other their on-field data.
, plus more than 10 passes!
However, just when the Dutch team saw the referee looking at his watch on the court, thinking that the first half of the game was about to end, and was too lazy to press Xavi and Iniesta, the two "bad guys"! On the court, the situation suddenly changed!
I saw Xavi, who was having a great time playing with Xiaobai on the court. After receiving the return pass from Iniesta again, it seemed that he was going to continue the previous chat and continue to talk to Iniesta.
However, just when the members of the Dutch team thought so, Xavi on the court gave the Netherlands a dirty trick!
"Bump!" seemed meaningless before passing, but it was actually used to pass the ball to the receiving team. Harvey, who had already found the receiving point, did not give the ball again after receiving Xiaobai's pass again.
Knocked back to the former, he instead used a big kick to drive the ball towards the left side of the Dutch penalty area!
Long pass! Okay, long pass. Anyone who has watched Spanish games in recent years will know that long pass is not used in Spain under normal circumstances!
Oh, no, it can’t be regarded as leisurely. It should be said that the tactic of long pass is not on Spain’s tactical board!
Therefore, it is almost foreseeable that Harvey's sudden long pass, as long as he can pass the ball accurately, who knows, he will get some opportunities!
So, can Harvey pass the ball accurately?
Speaking from the facts on the field, I saw that Villa, who was pulled to the wing, did not adjust his direction when running. He just stopped the long pass to Xavi so easily!
So, does Spain have a chance?
Not necessarily!
Let the facts on the field speak for themselves![
I saw Villa perfectly stopping Xavi's long pass from the midfield, and thought he had a good opportunity!
However, before Villa could stop the ball, he stepped back. Villa was depressed to discover that the Dutch right back No. 2 Oyer, who had hardly performed well in the whole game, this time
But what really deceived him was that he stood on the path he must take to cut inside and enter the penalty area!
So, instead of cutting in, we switch to bottom?
As soon as this idea came up, Villa rejected it without anyone else!
Again, Spain’s skills are certainly not impressive, but their height will always be their flaw!
Therefore, to be honest, for Spain, the pass from the bottom of the ball cannot bring too much threat to the opponent! Especially in this attack, because Xavi also did not expect to pass the ball,
The team's center Torres is still rushing towards the penalty area in the 30-meter area of the Netherlands. At this moment, there is no Spanish contact point in the Dutch penalty area!
Since it is not possible to cross the ball, it is obvious that there is only one way left in front of Calabash at this moment, and that is to continue cutting inside!
The arch of his right foot gently placed the ball in front of him and fiddled with it, getting the ball to the most comfortable position for him. Now that he had made up his mind, Villa would not continue to hesitate on the court!
He raised his right foot slightly and knocked it towards the ball. From the looks of it, Villa had changed his attention and wanted to hit the ball!
However, just when Oye thought so and moved his center of gravity in advance to block Villa's breakthrough route, Villa instantly changed his direction of the ball!
To put it bluntly, Villa never thought about it from the beginning!
Watching Villa use a deft change of direction to pass him as if he were passing through a wooden stake, Oye wanted to die! Especially, when he turned around following Villa who cut inside, he found the Dutch
After the situation in the penalty area, this "Want to Die" became "Want to Die 2"!
Well, speaking of it, Oye is actually not to blame for this goal! After all, when it comes to Villa's position, usually, when the defender stands firmly inside, the forward can only choose to go down!
If we have to say that Oyer made a mistake, perhaps Oyer's only mistake was that he did not pay attention to the situation in his own penalty area before defending, and found that there was no Spanish player in the group, so Villa could only cut inside!
Focus back on the field!
After Villa successfully passed Oyer on the court, he soon ushered in the Dutch team's highly echeloned second line of defense! And this time, the one who appeared in front of Villa was the Dutch team.
Central defender No. 21 Boraluz!
After glancing at Bollaruz, who was about the same height as him and about 175 meters tall, Villa, who had previously thought about cutting inside, quickly gave up the idea of cutting inside. After all, Bollaruz was not the tall Oye he had been before.
!Although having a short body has the disadvantage of being short, the advantage is equally obvious, that is, quick response!
In other words, if Bollaruz is placed in Oye's position before, it's a matter of opinion whether Villa can break through!
The outer instep of his right foot moved in the direction of the ball, and he continued to cut in. When his toes were about to touch the ball, he suddenly lifted up and did a bicycle. Then, without wasting any second, Villa quickly
Using the heel of his left foot that was previously used as a supporting foot, he pushed the ball out in the direction of the baseline!
It's a pity that Villa himself had thought before that Bollaruz was a central defender with flexible reactions. So, now he wants to break through Bollaruz so simply and easily, is it right?
Are things too simple?
Let me tell you from the situation on the field, it seems so!
I saw Boraluz on the court, not taking advantage of Villa's bicycle at all. After Villa moved the ball to the baseline, Boraluz immediately used his body to move towards Billy.
In the direction of Villa, he came closer, trying to actively seek physical contact. By the way, Villa also completed his turn before he rushed to his side!
In the end, although relying on the absolute speed of his first step in his peak period, Villa completed the overtaking before Boraluz started! But after all, his body is not too strong. In order to complete the overtaking, Villa could not continue to overtake.
He changed his trajectory while running! Then, it is foreseeable that it is inevitable that his body will collide with Boraluz, who actively seeks contact!
Then, in fact, it goes without saying. Anyone who has played football will know that, let alone meeting someone while running, when a person is running at full speed, even if he is disturbed by anything,
It will take a lot of time to increase the speed again.
