Chapter 154 Fierce Battle (Part 1)

Boom!

The fans in the stands at Mandela Square couldn't help exclaiming. Looking at the time, only four minutes into the match, Degan tested the Dutch goalkeeper Stekelenburg with a wonderful long shot. .

Degan's kick was very sudden, without any warning at all. Even before he shot, there were Dutch defenders in front of him. It can be said that the shooting angles were pitiful, but Degan still chose to shoot. There was no hesitation at all. If Stekelenburg hadn't reacted fast enough, Degan would have scored for Belgium at the very beginning of the game.

"Deegan shot! Ah! What a pity! Just a little bit!"

The Belgian narrator was both excited and annoyed, looking at him as if he wanted to eat the microphone.

Digan didn't show too much annoyance, he just shook his hand with a smile. The reason why he chose to hit the goal directly was because he felt good at the time, so he shot it. It's a pity that he checked a little bit.

Although he failed to score a goal, Degan's shot really surprised Van Marwijk on the sidelines. His original idea was to make a sneak attack after the game started, but he didn't expect the sneak attack to fail. Was attacked by Belgium.

Being knocked out by Digan, the Dutch team did not dare to be too aggressive. After all, it is the final, and every tiny detail may affect the final result of the game, and this result is related to the World Cup champion!

Next, the Belgian team took a corner kick, and the Dutch team directly transferred all players except Robben and Van Persie to the penalty area to participate in the defense.

Hazard's corner kick was taken. Although Degan grabbed the position, under the double-teaming of the opponent's two defensive players, Van Bommel pushed the ball out of the penalty area first.

After disintegrating the crisis, the Dutch team's formation quickly expanded, and after the football passed under Van der Vaart's feet, it immediately entered attack mode.

Now a lot of people are criticizing the tactics of the Dutch team as they get older and uglier. Even Cruyff, the old Dutch flying man, an old coffin with half of his body buried in the soil, jumped out of the poor bb, saying what is the current situation? The Dutch team is ugly, completely abandoning tradition, and even openly accused Van Marwijk.

What is tradition?

Tradition does not mean that all are the essence, some are also dross!

Although the current Dutch team is no longer so aggressive offensively, it is more stable and emphasizes the balance of offense and defense on the court.

The Dutch team in the Cruyff era played very well, but they failed to bring anything to the Dutch team. The current Dutch team may not be wonderful, but it is closer to success.

Van Marwijk's Dutch team is to get rid of the outdated dross and re-establish the team's style, but some essence still needs to be retained, that is, the traditional side attack of Dutch football.

The side attack of the Dutch team is not just a simple pass from the bottom, and then let the high point on the front line compete for the top. What is more important is the combination of the side and the center. When hitting the opponent's hinterland? There is also the option of direct incision.

In the history of Dutch football, there are many outstanding wingers, the most famous of which is Overmars, but now Robben has gradually replaced him in the hearts of Dutch fans.

After Sneijder's transition, the football came to Robben's feet. The Belgian winger Pokolinho was mainly responsible for marking Robben in this game.

Originally in this game, Antiiennis was still hesitant about whether to use Lombards or Poccolinho, but in the end Degan's opinion played a key role, and Poccolinho, who defended better Germany played the role.

Facing the menacing Robben, Poccolinho showed a maturity that was completely out of character for his age. He did not rush forward rashly and try to steal at the first time, but retreated sideways, while guarding against Robben's sudden attack. Cut inside, turning a blind eye to Robben's series of fake moves.

But Robben must be more than these three axes. His dribbling frequency is very fast, and the movements under his feet are dazzling. Suddenly, Robben pushes the ball forward with his instep, and then accelerates suddenly. He is prepared, but it is still too difficult for him to keep up with Robben at his speed, so he can only try to stick it up to prevent Robben from cutting inside.

Seeing that the inside cut was not possible, Robben's speed became faster and faster, and he quickly opened the distance with Pokolinho, and then made a cross.

Van Persie in the middle, and Dirk Dirk on the left have already outflanked them. Van Persie in the front deliberately missed it, and Courtois, who was all focused on him, couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Fortunately, he was in charge of marking Dirk. Vermaelen concentrated his energy and rushed the ball out of the bottom line before Dirk Dirk.

Holland's corner kick!

"The two sides played very proactively at the beginning of the game, without reservation at all, and invested a lot of troops in the attack. Some people were worried before, because neither side of the game is representative of artistic football. The final is boring, but judging from the current progress, people's worries are completely unnecessary!"

The Dutch team took a corner kick, and the first point was grabbed by the Belgian team. Kompany pushed the ball over the baseline, and then the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield.

In this game, Van Marwijk replaced De Jong with Van der Vaart and acted as Van Bommel's central partner, which played a miraculous effect. Van der Vaart's passing awareness and superb skills, although not yet effective Pirlo played the same role in the Italian team, but Van der Vaart's skills are better, and he is more determined when he goes in from the back. Have an unexpected effect.

And the most important thing is that the two sides of the Dutch team are more active. In contrast, the Belgian team is a little passive and cannot provide more help to Digan and Lukaku in the offense.

But in the same way, the midfielder of the Dutch team was also involved in too much experience, especially Breuer and Na England's defense of the two wings, which temporarily made Robben and Dirk lose their sharpness.

The game began to fall into anxiety!

"The game has been going on for ten minutes. Except for Rhodes' wonderful long-range shot from outside the penalty area in the fourth minute of the opening game, he seems a bit quiet now. He runs very actively, but he has received too little support!"

Degan was also aware of this problem, and began to push forward consciously, and hit two sides with Hazard, leaving Lukaku at the front alone, involving the Dutch team's defense.

This change had a miraculous effect immediately. In the 15th minute, after Degan took the ball from the wing, he directly chose to break through with the ball. The right back of the Dutch team had no way to stop it. Advantage, wading past him, and then making a cross from the bottom.

Lukaku, who responded in the middle, overwhelmed Heitinga and scored with a header. Stekelenburg reacted very quickly. With his body having lost his center of gravity, he dragged the ball out of the crossbar with a single palm.

Corner kick for Belgium!

"Ah! It's a pity! Lukaku's header is very powerful, but it's a pity that Stekelenburg rejected it at the last moment, but it doesn't matter, the Belgian team got a corner kick!"

Hazard's corner kick came out. This time Degan took the initiative to press forward and blocked Van Bommel's body. He headed the ball back, but it was a pity that Fellaini was half a step too slow, and fell to the ground and missed. To the football, watching the football slide out from his toes and out of the baseline.

"It's a pity! It's just a little bit!"

Before the Belgian team had time to regret, the Dutch team quickly launched a counterattack. The football reached Robben's feet again. Peter Pan ran all the way with the ball, and then suddenly cut inside to hit the goal. , The reaction was a little slow, but Robben's shot finally hit the goal post, and the Belgian team escaped.

"Perhaps no one will say that this will be a boring game now. The game has been going on for 17 minutes, and both sides have had a lot of chances to score. It's a pity that luck is a little bit worse, but the two teams are in He did not play conservatively on the court, and when attacking, he pressed forward very firmly, which is what fans all over the world hope to see very much!"

For those fans who have no position and don't care who wins, the excitement of the game is the most important thing. The two teams can play against each other on the field. Of course, those fans are happy. After all, no one wants to see a match four years ago In such a dull final, Italy defended desperately in the first half, and Belgium, which lost Degan in the second half, defended desperately. Such a game can only be described as "boring".

The game was played wonderfully, and the fans in the stands worked extraordinarily hard, cheering and shouting non-stop, cheering for the team they supported.

In the 26th minute of the first half, Degan, who retreated to the center, got a chance here. After he got the ball, he turned around and found that there were no Dutch defensive players by his side.

It was Van der Vaart who made a mistake. After all, he was not a defensive player, and his sense of position was very average. When he realized that Degan had already held the ball and posed a threat, he couldn't help being shocked and rushed forward.

But Digan would not give him a chance to make up for his mistakes. He exerted force with his feet, and his amazing explosive power was perfectly displayed at this moment. Unsteady, go straight forward.

"Dangerous! Degan got the ball, and now there are no defensive players around him. In this position, Degan has a very precise long-range shot. The Dutch team is dangerous! Dangerous!"
