The Chinese team made the second substitution adjustment of the game, and Liu Jian in the backfield unexpectedly did not appear in the central defender position, but appeared in the left defensive midfield where Tang Zheng was originally sitting.

With the change of position deliberately given in the broadcast screen, Tang Zheng stood between Feng Xiaoting and Ren Hang, closer to goalkeeper Yan Junling, which means that Tang Zheng dragged his role back to the center back at the end of the first half of extra time.

The formation of the Chinese team has changed from the original 4231 to the current 541, leaving only Gao Lin as a tactical containment in front, Lu Liang and Hao Junmin on the left and on the right, Wu Xi and Liu Jian partnering in the midfield.

Because the head coach of the Chinese team, Lippi, has decided to stick to the defense until the end of the game, the Chinese players on the field execute the tactics with great intensity, and strictly follow the tactics arranged by the head coach Lippi to play the game, coupled with Tang Zheng's strong sense of position and strong ability to read the game, until the end of the first half of overtime, the score did not change.

0：0

The players on both sides of the Xinshuiyuan Stadium are extremely worried, because there is only the final second half of extra time, and if the winner cannot be decided, then the two sides will enter an extremely cruel penalty shootout!

Neither Dutch nor Chinese fans want to save their chances of promotion until penalty shootouts.

Because the penalty shootout is no longer a test of the technical and tactical ability of the players on both sides, but more of a test of the psychological quality of the players.

Although the Dutch players have been through countless battles, they have not had a good record in penalty shoot-outs at international tournaments.

Chinese fans are more pure, except for a few players with delicate foot skills and good psychological quality, most of the other players dare not compliment, you must know that the previous Chinese players are notoriously poor psychological quality......

If the semi-finals are left on penalties, it may be a little difficult for fans on both sides of the game to accept.

Of course, Dutch coach Louis van Gaal does not want the game to go to a penalty shootout, after all, the overall strength of the Dutch team is stronger, and when the game comes to the penalty shootout, it will be the psychological quality and luck of the players.

In terms of luck, Van Gaal has never been bad, and he is worried that his bad luck will affect the team.

Before the game, the head coach of the Chinese team, Lippi, thought that the draw would continue until the end of extra time, so he consciously added a penalty shootout training session to the team in the process of preparing for the quarterfinals.

But...... The real penalty shootout is not something that can be changed by training, but more by the ability of the individual to resist pressure and luck in taking the penalty.

At the end of the first half of overtime, there was no break, and the two sides changed sides and fought again, directly entering the second half of overtime.

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Marco Rodriguez, the second half of the extra time of the last quarter-final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil kicked off, and the frenzy of the new water source stadium has decreased significantly.

It was clear that it was the fans of both sides who felt that the penalty shoot-out seemed to be pointing at their respective teams.

The Dutch team, which had the advantage of kick-off, did not organize the attack with any tactfulness, but Zhi directly moved the ball to the 30-meter area of the Chinese team's defense, and then several core players such as Snesser and Robben created scoring opportunities.

However, the Chinese team itself did not leave much offensive space for the Dutch team in the half, and the defensive players were closely connected with each other, coupled with Tang Zheng's key defense and Yan Junling's amazing play, the Dutch team's offense failed to knock on the door of the Chinese team.

The live broadcast once again gave the Dutch coach Van Gaal, three minutes into the second half of extra time, the Dutch team's attack still did not improve, and Van Gaal still had the last card in his hand.

The meaning is very obvious, should it be played in a stalemate of the game?

In fact, it is not that Van Gaal is unwilling to make the last substitution of the game, but that there is no one on the bench to change at all, and it is better to leave the last card for the possible penalty shootout......

※※※

As the clock ticked by, the Dutch players who dominated the game began to be impatient again.

They think that instead of patiently organizing the attack, it is better to threaten Yan Junling more directly to guard the goal.

Starting from the substitute Huntelaar, Robben and Sneijder began to try to shoot from a distance, but the Chinese team was almost overcrowded in front of the penalty area, and it was tantamount to a fool's dream that football wanted to test Yan Junling through the encirclement.

The football was either blocked by the Chinese players, or the anti-aircraft guns were directly released, and even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they were easily captured by Yan Junling.

Robben was under a lot less pressure when Tang Zheng retreated to the back line to play central defender, but he was characterized by the need for space, and the Chinese players did not give him any room to break through at all, so his performance was still unsatisfactory.

The impatience of the Dutch players is not only reflected in the increase in long-range shots, but also the substitute Huntelaar did not close his foot in a goalmouth scramble, and directly kicked Yan Junling, who had already pressed the football under him.

Fortunately, the referee on duty Rodriguez blew the whistle in time and appeared at the scene of the incident as soon as possible, standing between the players on both sides, which played a good role in buffering and resolving possible physical conflicts in advance.

At the same time, the head coach of the Chinese team, Lippi, pulled Sun Jingbo, who was about to come off the bench, to explain something.

Immediately, the on-site director decisively switched the camera after the referee Rodriguez resolved the possible conflict between the two sides and gave it to the away team's coach's bench.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "If nothing else, our last substitution adjustment will be spent on the offensive end, Sun Jingbo's skills at his feet are quite delicate, and he has a good speed, and he is likely to work wonders when Sun Jingbo is sent in the case of a significant decline in the physical fitness of both sides!"

"Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy!The substitution adjustments made by head coach Lippi in the previous series of defensive adjustments are likely to confuse Van Gaal, and the real killer move is in the last substitution adjustment in overtime!" The commentator Xu Yang supported the commentary seat with both hands, and was full of passion: "The physical consumption of Dutch players will not be less than ours, if Sun Jingbo comes off the bench, the Dutch team will be very troublesome!"

Not far away, Dutch coach Van Gaal naturally noticed what was happening in the command area of the away team coach while paying attention to the game, he clasped his hands on his chest, frowned, Sun Jingbo his characteristics have been basically figured out through the last two games, if he really came off the bench in the second half of extra time, it will be a huge threat to his own defense!

Continuing to maintain the offensive is easy to lead to a lack of defense, Sun Jingbo is very fast, and the technique at his feet is very delicate, and the physical consumption of his own defensive players is huge, and Sun Jingbo is prone to mistakes in the face of full physical energy.

Don't...... Do you really want to leave the suspense of promotion in the penalty shootout?

At this moment, Robben's inward cut shot directly put the anti-aircraft gun, and the referee on duty was instructed by the sidelines, pointing his finger to the sidelines, signaling that the game side made substitution adjustments.

The on-site director gave a close-up shot for the first time, and Sun Jingbo stood next to the fourth official, waiting to appear.

The changed number shown in red is '18', which means that Sun Jingbo replaced Gao Lin.

Although Gao Lin is a little dissatisfied with the substitution of head coach Lippi, he has respect for Lippi, and his physical strength is obviously overdrawn, and it will not make much difference to stay on the field, and replacing Sun Jingbo may be able to work wonders!

Seeing the substitution adjustment of the Chinese team, the head coach of the Dutch team, Van Gaal, hurriedly hooked his finger towards Blind, who was closest to him, and the latter jogged over knowingly.

Sun Jingbo's replacement of Gao Lin is an adjustment guessed by many commentators, the overall strength of the Chinese team is not as good as the Dutch team, and removing a defensive player and replacing it with an offensive player is also not in line with Lippi's style.

The adjustment is to create pressure on the Dutch team's backline on the forward line, Sun Jingbo, who came off the bench, must be full of energy, and the Dutch team's defensive players are close to exhaustion, and there will be more Dutch players who pay attention to Sun Jingbo's activities, which is conducive to the Chinese team dragging the game into a penalty shootout.

Sun Jingbo's first pick up on the bench was a great threat to the Dutch defence, and he quickly came to the 30-metre area after receiving a precise long pass from Tang Zheng at the edge of the penalty area.

In the face of Blind and Vlaar's frontal defence, Sun Jingbo forced his speed to break through, and then burst into a cold arrow at the edge of the penalty area to force goalkeeper Cillessen to make a crucial save.

"Oh, oh, oh-"

The Dutch fans in the stands subconsciously let out a heartfelt exclamation.

Previously, it was Tang Zheng's long-range shot that hit the crossbar and the goalpost, and now it is Sun Jingbo who tests Cillessen.

You must know that now the game has come to the second half of extra time, once there is a goal, it is equivalent to a stunner!

Van Gaal was also shocked into a cold sweat, and he signaled the team to be more patient in attack and not shoot blindly as the Chinese team prepared for a corner kick.

Immediately, he turned to look at the substitute goalkeeper Krul and motioned for him to warm up.

The direct connection between Tang Zheng and Sun Jingbo is like a knock on the mountain, giving the Dutch team huge psychological pressure, coupled with the key advice of head coach Van Gaal, their attack is no longer so stormy.

However, as time decreased, the focus on both sides was less on offense and more on defense.

In particular, Sun Jingbo tested Cillessen, and the Dutch team's attack did not dare to play so aggressively, and chose to go step by step.

Gradual progress may be effective in the first 90 minutes, but as the game comes to the end of the second half of extra time, the Dutch players are also very physically exhausted, and once the tempo slows down, the players' motivation to run is invisibly reduced.

The tempo slowed down, and the Chinese players, who had run for almost 120 minutes, were given a precious respite.

In the 117th minute of the game, British Sky commentator Andy Grey said indifferently: "If nothing else, the game will likely go to a penalty shootout!"

Commentator Martin Taylor tapped his head: "According to the strength of both sides of the game, the penalty shootout should not occur, but the Chinese team played very well in this game, the defensive end was meticulous, and the quick counterattack can bring enough threat to the Dutch team, and the penalty shootout is the best reward for them!"

※※※

With about 10 seconds left in the fifteenth minute of extra time, the fourth official held up an electronic card for one minute of stoppage time on the sidelines, meaning that there was still one minute left in the final quarter-final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

If there is no winner, then you have to go to a brutal penalty shootout!

At this time, the Argentine players sitting in front of the TV couldn't help but guess the semi-final opponent of the national team.

Is it the Netherlands?

Or the Chinese team?

Obviously, most of the Argentine players want to play against China in the semi-finals.

Why?

The overall strength of the Chinese team is obviously much inferior to that of the Dutch team, and the game is still a draw so far, except for the good performance of the Chinese team itself, it is the light enemy of the Dutch team.

The pre-match targeted deployment was not enough, and the preparation plan was insufficient, so it was impossible to bring a continuous threat to the Chinese team's defense for a long time when the game entered a stalemate.

If Argentina faces China in the semi-finals, Argentina has a hundred chances to easily beat China and then advance to the final!

Messi, sitting in front of the TV, also hopes that the semi-final opponent is the Chinese team, first of all, the overall strength of the Chinese team is insufficient, and secondly, he has not won against Tang Zheng at the club level, so he wants to win at the national team level.

Naturally, the fans of Xinshuiyuan Stadium also saw the electronic card of one minute of stoppage time held high by the fourth official, and the momentum they created was significantly weakened, because according to the situation of the game, it is very likely to enter the penalty shootout!

Lippi and Van Gaal stood on the sidelines and signaled not to attack boldly, but to press back and forth with their palms down.

Fans who know the ball know that this is a requirement for stability.

At this point in the game, no one dares to take any chances.

About half a minute of stoppage time, what was surprising was that the Dutch player Blind who was in possession of the ball suddenly kicked the ball outside the left touchline of the Chinese team's defensive area.

Blunder?

Still is?

Just when everyone was scratching their heads, the live director gave the answer.

Meanwhile, referee Marco Rodriguez on duty pointed to the sidelines, and fans watching the game in front of the TV could see that Dutch substitute goalkeeper Krul was ready to take the stage.

"Change the goalkeeper?" Yang 5 commentator He Wei turned his head to look at the normal Cillessen: "Could it be that the outstanding Cillessen is injured?

Commentator Xu Yang looked down at the detailed information prepared before the game, and interrupted He Wei's speech: "Cillessen should not be injured, I think this substitution of the Dutch team is to cope with the next penalty shootout! Krul, who plays for Newcastle United, has a higher ability and efficiency to save penalty kicks than Cillessen......"

Cillessen and Krul had a substitution handover ceremony, and British Sky commentator Andy Gray shook his head and smiled: "Louis van Gaal's last substitution adjustment is surprising, he actually used the last card in the goalkeeper adjustment, and Tim Krul, who has more penalty saving ability, replaces the starting goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen!"

Seeing this substitution adjustment, Lippi raised his eyebrows and was worried.

The same was true for the Chinese players on the pitch, changing the goalkeeper before the end of the game, and then reminiscent of Blind deliberately kicking the ball off the sideline, which ......

Isn't this a clear penalty shootout?

Li Xuepeng threw the sideline ball, and Tang Zheng, who got the ball, had not kicked the ball to the front court, and the referee on duty blew the end of the game.

"It's over!The final quarter-final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil will be a brutal penalty shootout!"

The voice of Yang 5 commentator He Wei is full of expectation, and if you listen carefully, there is a trace of worry.
