The game came to 55 minutes, the score still did not change anything, and the close-ups of the live director were given to the Dutch coach Van Gaal one after another, and it was clear that he wanted to see the Dutch team take the lead in making substitution adjustments, changing the tactical play, and solving the problems of the Dutch team's attack.

No one thought that the Dutch team, which should have taken the lead in making substitution adjustments, did not move, and the Chinese team, which should have remained on the defensive, was unexpectedly ready to make adjustments.

Wu Xi, who wore the number 22 shirt, stood to the left of head coach Lippi in front of the visiting team's dugout, and assistant coach Madaloni made additions from time to time next to him.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "In terms of position, Wu Xi is the most suitable captain Zheng Zhi to replace the cumulative yellow card suspension in this game, but Lippi coach thinks that Cai Huikang can better complete the defensive task, in fact, Cai Huikang has done a very good job, but his offensive ability is basically negligible, so Tang Zheng, who has a balanced offensive and defensive ability, has to distract the tandem organization of the midfield and the backfield, people's energy is limited after all, especially in this kind of top-level competition, the opponent will not give Tang Zheng too much space...... ”

Wu Xi's defensive ability may not be as good as Cai Huikang's, but his offensive organization ability is stronger, which can effectively alleviate the huge pressure on Tang Zheng of the Chinese team's transition from defense to attack, and may be able to change the quality and efficiency of the transition from defense to offense when the defense remains solid. ”

Shortly after, Arjen Robben sent in a good quality cross from the left of the attack, and Van Persie leaped high on the run, but he was not well controlled by Feng Xiaoting's close interference and headed the ball over the left post of the goal.

The referee on duty, Marco Rodriguez, blew his whistle decisively, then pointed his finger to the side of the pitch and signaled for the match to request a substitution.

The broadcast screen switched to the first time, Wu Xi stood next to the fourth official holding up the substitution electronic card, he jumped on the spot from time to time to feel the strength of his body, ready to play for the national team.

There was no surprise, the player who was substituted was Cai Huikang, who completed the defensive task very well in this game.

For this substitution adjustment, many commentators are a little incomprehensible, Cai Huikang's defensive task is completed very well, and there are even a few key interceptions, the Chinese team is currently drawing 0:0 with the Dutch team, and there is no reason to step up.

There is a huge difference in the strength of the two teams, and the Chinese team should maintain a defensive position rather than strengthen the offensive.

Seeing the substitution adjustments made by the Chinese team, the head coach of the Dutch team, Van Gaal, had a feeling of confusion.

Replacing a purely defensive midfielder with a defensive midfielder with a more attacking midfielder would bolster the attack?

Thinking of this, Van Gaal couldn't help but turn his head to look at the silver-haired Lippi, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly - is it against you?

Who's afraid of whom?

Spain, which tried to play against Spain, lost 1:5, and the Chinese team, which was far inferior to Spain, wanted to play against it?

Wait for the elimination!

Cai Huikang, who was substituted, did not make a mistake before he was replaced, and Lippi replaced him only for tactical needs, so he took the initiative to hug Cai Huikang and praise him.

Wu Xi, who was on the court, made a tactical gesture change towards the captain Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin before running to his position.

Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin tapped their chins separately to show understanding.

※※※

Wu Xi, who had just come on the pitch, did not help the Chinese team at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but instead exposed some problems with the original solid midfield defensive system, but fortunately, Tang Zheng had a strong ability to read the game, and he focused entirely on the defensive end during the time when Wu Xi was looking for a rhythm in the game.

Sneijder, who is good at catching holes in the opponent's defense, shook his head and smiled bitterly when Tang Zheng cleared the ball out of the sideline again, and it was only now that he really felt Tang Zheng's horror.

Tang Zheng's excellent performance also made head coach Lippi breathe a sigh of relief, it stands to reason that Cai Huikang's state and physical fitness are no problem, and he should continue to stay on the field under normal circumstances, and Wu Xi, who is replaced on the field, still needs time to adapt to the rhythm of the game, which is accompanied by a certain risk.

If it weren't for Tang Zheng's concentration in the game, the Dutch team might have taken advantage of Wu Xi's slow pace to find a hole in their own defense.

As the game time went by, Wu Xi slowly found the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game, and the defensive problems exposed by the Chinese team's defensive system were gradually solved.

Helpless, Van Gaal had to return to the coach's box, and then pulled his assistant Blind Sr. as if he was discussing something.

According to the course of the game, it is not difficult to guess that Van Gaal is beginning to be dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the field.

In Van Gaal's view, only Tang Zheng can pose a threat to his own defense in the entire Chinese team, and the game has basically been in control of the situation from the beginning to the present, and the offensive has been wave after wave.

However, the Chinese team's defense was solid and did not expose any problems.

It was hard to wait for the instability of the defense line caused by the substitution of the Chinese team, but Tang Zheng's timely and predictive position was amazing and helpless.

Robben has a lot of experience and ability, so he can't be adjusted, Sneijder is the core of the midfield, and there is no suitable substitute on the bench, and the captain Van Persie is still in good shape, and there is no problem with his physical fitness, so he is naturally not considered.

It seems that Depay, who is still very depressed in this game, can consider being adjusted.

But when to make adjustments is a science, so Van Gaal didn't think about making adjustments at the first time, but waited for the time to come.

The game continued, and the defensive midfielders of Tang Zheng and Wu Xi gradually had a tacit understanding, and the overall defense became airtight.

The Dutch team attacked, the football came to the feet of Robben on the right again, Li Xuepeng crossed in front of him, Lu Liang's assistant was taken away by Kuyt who was adductive and running, and Robben realized that he had a chance to cut inside.

There was no time to observe Tang Zheng's position, there was an obvious left shaking of the upper body, which deceived Li Xuepeng into taking a step to the right, Robben moved very quickly at his feet, and the inside of the instep of his left foot slammed the ball in the direction of the bottom line.

Li Xuepeng then stagnated in place, but Robben was extremely explosive and very fast, and it was too late for Li Xuepeng to start chasing Robben again.

"Oh, oh, oh-"

The Chinese fans at Xinshuiyuan Stadium subconsciously blurted out, and a deafening huge exclamation instantly swept the audience.

The Dutch fans at the far end of the pitch jumped to their feet, chanting for Robben's masterpiece: "Whoa—"

The Dutch fan, who had just jumped to his feet, sat down again a second later, as Robben, who was fully at full speed, encountered a very timely interception, and he had to jump on the spot to avoid it in the middle of a high-speed run.

The central 5 commentator stared at Tang Zheng who was given to the broadcast picture, and said with palpitations: "Tang Zheng's appearance is really timely, Robben who suddenly accelerated is quite terrifying, once Robben cuts into the forbidden area, the consequences are unimaginable!"

As soon as the words fell, the commentator Xu Yang added excitedly: "Tang Zheng acted cleanly when he was filling the position in time, and he didn't even foul it, and only gave the Dutch team an insignificant sideline ball." ”

※※※

Tang Zheng fell to the ground and kicked the ball out of the sideline, left-back Li Xuepeng ran to Tang Zheng very gratefully, Tang Zheng, who was very focused on the game, clapped his palms first, and said loudly to Li Xuepeng: "Stay focused on the game, don't shake, don't easily predict in advance." ”

Li Xuepeng's performance in this game can be said to be very good, occasionally forced by Robben to break through behind him often have teammates behind him, and there is no problem with the defense, as the game time is getting less and less, Li Xuepeng is keenly aware that the game should be ranked first, and you can stay behind the game if you are grateful.

Again...... Football is a team sport, and your own shortcomings should be made up by other teammates.

In the blink of an eye, the second half was 20 minutes into the game, and the Dutch team finally made the first substitution, Rens, who is also known for his speed and breakthrough, replacing the starting left winger Depay, who did not perform well in this game.

Compared with Depay, who has a more comprehensive overall ability, Lens's breakthrough ability is obviously stronger, and he can create more opportunities for his teammates, and Lens's habitual foot is left-footed, so he can often switch positions with Robben to test the defensive attention of the two wings of the Chinese team.

Lens is known for his breakthrough and physical fitness, and he did pose a threat to the Chinese team's backline at the beginning, but the Chinese team's defenders have a strong sense of complementation.

So much so that British Sky TV commentator Andy Gray was very surprised and said: "Marcelo Lippi's transformation of the Chinese team is very successful, and the defense of the Chinese team in this game made me see the chain defense of the Italian national team at its peak, one link after another, closely connected." ”

Commentator Martin Taylor nodded: "Indeed, the Chinese team's many defenses in this game really let us see the chain defense of the Italian national team, which is very successful, whether it is Alger Robben or Robin van Persie, they have not been able to find opportunities in the chain defense of the Chinese team. Lens's substitution brought a new attacking concept to the Dutch team's attack, but the Chinese team's defenders were quite focused, and Tang was in excellent form, if the Dutch team's attack did not improve again, I think the score of 0:0 would be likely to remain until the end of the game, and then go to extra time?"

"That's right!" Andy Gray cooperated with his old partner Martin Taylor, and tapped his chin: "The Chinese team was on the defensive for most of the game, and the long-term defensive position also brought them great confidence, because the strength of the Chinese team is far inferior to the Dutch team, and comprehensive defense is the psychological preparation that the Chinese players have long had before the game!"

Sky fans sitting in front of the TV were more depressed, and most of the fans watching the live broadcast were neutral, and they preferred to see the exciting offensive battles, and now the Chinese team is fully defending, and the Dutch team is playing a half-time offensive and defensive exercise.

Of course, the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV are also depressed, they thought before the game that they will be beaten passively most of the time, but people always can't avoid luck, and the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV always want to see their national team take advantage of the opportunity to quickly counterattack and beat the mighty Dutch team.

However, the Dutch team firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, and the Chinese team that beat wave after wave of fierce offensives did not have time to take care of it, so Chinese fans were always terrified, worried that the Dutch team's attack would break Yan Junling's goal.

"Wonderful save!Yan Junling made a side save to keep Sneijder's long-range shot from the edge of the box out!!"

"Whoa~ Tang Zheng's key fall to the ground and shovel! forced Robben, who forced the breakthrough, to jump early and give up control of the football!!"

"Feng Xiaoting put a lot of pressure on Van Persie in the process of retreating, his header was weak and weak, and the football was easily won by Yan Junling!"

……

He Wei, the commentator of CCTV 5, and Xu Yang, the guest commentator, explained the process of the game in an endless stream, and the emotionally changing commentary made the Chinese fans in front of the TV very hesitant.

The Dutch captain was scoreless and the close-up of the live director once again took care of the Dutch national team coach Louis van Gaal.

Clearly, he wants to see the Netherlands make another substitution to bring new attacking blood to the attacking end.

In a stalemate in the game, the close-up of the live director also gave the head coach of the Chinese team Lippi.

However, neither Van Gaal nor Lippi have any plans to adjust the line-up to cope with the changes.

With Wu Xi coming off the bench in the Chinese team, the offensive and defensive transitions were more fluid than when Cai Huikang was on the field, but the long-term passive defense put great pressure on Lu Liang and Wu Sanshi, and the resoluteness to attack was not enough.

Wu Xi's offense is strong and the defense is weak, and Tang Zheng needs to share more of the work on the defensive end, so Lippi's adjustment seems to solve the problem of the Chinese team's tandem organization that relies more on Tang Zheng from defense to offense, but in fact, the problems exposed are still very big.

However, as the game time dwindled, Lippi became more and more cautious, as Wu Xi's replacement of Cai Huikang had caused some defensive problems.

We must take this as a warning.

As the clock ticked by, the Dutch team consciously stepped up their attack, and the offensive wave after wave, coupled with the frenzied atmosphere emanating from the Xinshui Stadium, gave people the illusion that they could score at any time.

The Chinese fans in the stands were very worried, worried that the national team they supported would make mistakes in the late stages of the game and concede goals.

But in fact, the Chinese players' defensive attention was very focused and did not leave much space for the Dutch team to attack.

When the game came to 80 minutes, the Dutch coach counter-attacked and was completely anxious, he ran to the edge of the smart area from time to time to make a positive attack gesture to the players on the field, and it was not difficult to see that Van Gaal was worried that the game would go into extra time.

Once it goes to extra time, it becomes even more difficult to beat the Chinese team.

If the match goes to extra-time, it is likely that a brutal penalty shoot-out will determine the place in the last four.

I don't know if the game is specifically against Van Gaal, the Dutch team, which attacked in 90 minutes of regular time, did not score, and the Chinese team also did not score, and the two sides ended 90 minutes of regular time with a score of 0:0.

He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5, looked at the stoppage time given on the broadcast screen, and his tone was extremely serious: "Both sides just made a substitution adjustment in the second half, and it is normal for three minutes of injury time, can the game end 0:0 and then enter overtime?"

"According to the focused attitude of both sides, it is very likely!"

Commentator Xu Yang said solemnly.
