Chapter 648: Time is Running Out
Sneijder scored the third goal for the Netherlands and the fifth of the game.
The whole Dutch team went into a frenzy, and Sneijder roared excitedly and ran to the stands of his own fans, looked at the already cheering fans, and waved his fists in celebration.
Louis van Gaal and a group of substitutes all ran over and gathered Sneijder in the middle. Back in the last World Cup, Sneijder single-handedly brought the Dutch team to the final, and he was the absolute number one superstar in the team at that time, but the Dutch team in this World Cup belongs to Robben, but Sneijder's goal still proves the value of his role in the team.
Liu Jianhong paused for a while before saying: "Sneijder overtook the score for the Dutch team, and now the score is 3:2! The time of the goal occurred in the eighty-fourth minute, and the situation on the field is very unfavorable to the Chinese team." ”
Zhang Lu also said: "The Chinese team is indeed a little more troublesome, the offensive firepower is a little insufficient, and An Rong should be replaced immediately." ”
An Rong really replaced, he used up the last substitution, Wu Xiao replaced Liang Xiran, who had a weaker attack, and replaced the defender, An Rong was going to gamble in the last few minutes.
The Chinese fans in the crowd were very quiet at the moment, and although they also knew that An Rong was going to break the kettle once, they also knew how important Sneijder's goal was at this point in time. Chen Hui and Shen Hao's expressions became solemn, and they were also worried about how many chances the Chinese team would have to pull the score back in less than ten minutes left without Zhang Shujie and Li Mu.
The morale of the Chinese players also seems to have been hit, holding their heads and their waists, even the captain Ma Junqiang, are trapped in self-blame.
Seeing this, An Rong immediately shouted: "What are you doing? Is the game over? Hurry up and prepare for the game!"
Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, who were standing beside him, also shouted: "Come on, come on! There is still time! There is still time!"
As the captain of the team, Ma Junqiang responded to the call, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Everyone return to their respective positions!
The Chinese fans in the stands also quickly regained their strength, the five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and everyone ripped their throats to cheer for the Chinese team!
The Dutch team began to consciously enter the stage of comprehensive defense, the Chinese team launched a fierce attack, after Liu Jianwei kicked off, Wu Xiao kicked the ball to the right, Zhao Wenkang received the ball, and stuffed it to Tang Ling in front.
The Dutch team's retreat was very deep, Tang Ling almost directly dribbled the ball into the hinterland, and when he looked up, Liu Jianwei, Wu Xiao, Xu Zhixin, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi gathered near the penalty area.
Among the eleven Chinese players present, except for goalkeeper Ma Junqiang, the other players all passed half the court, and they were all within 40 meters of the Dutch team's backfield, while the Dutch team had already retreated in front of the goal and set up an iron bucket formation.
"This is the Chinese team's largest offensive investment since participating in the World Cup, and everyone knows very well that there is no way out, and only by doing so can it be possible to get a glimmer of hope of qualifying. ”
The Chinese team's inverted feet are almost all completed in front of the Dutch team's penalty area ten to twenty meters, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi, and Zhao Wenkang have tried a total of three long shots outside the penalty area, but without exception were blocked by the Dutch players with their bodies, and the ball after blocking was still obtained by the Chinese players, and the offensive power is still in the hands of the Chinese team.
The Dutch team's penalty area is full of people, and the Chinese team's ball can't be stuffed into it at all, in addition to long-range shots, there is another way to hit the ball inside: high balls.
Huang Yu and Tang Ling crossed four times in a row on the two wings, during which Liu Jianwei hit once, which was barely regarded as an attack, and was pulled out by Cillesson with one palm. Because the Dutch defense was too tight, it was difficult for the Chinese players to grab the second point, Vlaar kicked the ball in front, Yan Tao wanted to turn back to chase the ball, Ma Junqiang rushed up, rushed to the center circle, and kicked the ball to Huang Yu.
Then Ma Junqiang didn't go back, he shouted to Yan Tao: "Yan Tao, you go up, I'll watch later." ”
Yan Tao didn't say anything, just nodded, ran up quickly, rushed into the Dutch team's penalty area, and acted as a temporary striker.
"We saw that Ma Junqiang ran up and ran through the half-court and played the role of a defender, while Yan Tao ran into the opponent's penalty area to grab points. ”
An Rong and Van Gaal looked at the field with their own thoughts, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu stared at their teammates very seriously. Outside the field, in the stands, many of the Chinese team's hearts were in their throats, and everyone tried not to look at the time on the scoreboard.
Ninety minutes of regular time had arrived, and when the game went to stoppage time, the fourth official raised the LCD card for three minutes of stoppage time, and it was at this point that Van Gaal used the last substitution in his hand.
Substitutions in this time period actually don't play much of a tactical role, and there is only one purpose, which is to delay the game. Defender Witman replaced Robin van Persie, and when Van Persie came off the pitch, the Dutch fans applauded the striker who scored his team's first goal, and Van Persie returned the favor.
He walked out of the field slowly, and Wittman came on the field, this time and again, it was delayed for a full thirty seconds, which made An Rong and others very dissatisfied, and An Rong even complained to the fourth official, but was warned by the fourth official. This time, An Rong's anger was even greater, and he scolded and kicked away an empty mineral water bottle beside him.
"China's attack is very difficult, the game is almost over, and there is not much time left for the Chinese team. Liu Jianhong's voice sounded a little low, which must have affected his mood with the score on the field, but as a commentator, he still tried to stay calm and objective.
Although he is a commentator and a Chinese fan, he is a public figure, and he is not allowed to bring personal feelings in his own work.
Cillesson saved Wu Xiao's shot, Robben's clearance ball in the penalty area did not kick far, and fell to the feet of Zhao Wenkang, this position can be directly hit the goal, Depay and Kuyt immediately carried out the two of them, Zhao Wenkang did not dare to protect the ball casually, and quickly passed to Yan Tao.
Yan Tao passed to Xu Ziyi who came out of the penalty area to answer, Xu Ziyi couldn't pass to the middle, so he could only divide the side and give it to Tang Ling, Tang Ling got up and passed in, Cillessen flew to pounce on the ball, he originally wanted to catch the ball, but Tang Ling's pass was very large, and it deviated from the goal, Cillessen didn't grasp it when he caught it, the ball slipped from his hand and fell in the penalty area pushed by the crowd.
