Chapter 545 Defense
Judging from the line-up alone, the French national football team is undoubtedly the most luxurious of all the participating teams, and even the favorite Salween national football team is not as good as the national football team. Since the sensational World Cup in France two years ago, Zinedine Zidane has quickly grown into the most popular star on the European continent, and he is one of the three superstars in world football along with aliens Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.www.biquge.info
2-1, with Zinedine Zidane's penalty kick in the last minute of extra time, the French national football team withstood the impact of the Portuguese national football team, defeated the opponent by one goal, and entered the final in danger. In the European Cup, where there is no third-place match, the European Championship journey of the Portuguese national football team has come to an end.

At 8 p.m. Salwyn time on June 29, the second semi-final, the Salween national football team against the Dutch national football team, officially began. Both teams were strong in attack and weak in defence, and a head-to-head battle was poised to kick off, and after a pre-match rendering by various media outlets, the game's ratings reached a new high, doubling the first semi-final.
Afraid of the amazing attacking strength of the Dutch national football team, in this game, the Salwyn national football team started in a formation of 14231, with four defenders, two midfielders, three attacking midfielders and a single striker.
The starting main goalkeeper, Igor Casillas Fernandez (born on May 20, 1981, now 19 years old, is a goalkeeper).
The starting four defenders were Peter Wen (born on February 16, 1982, now 18 years old, playing as a left and right back, central defender), Lucimar Ferreira da Silva (born on 8 May 1978, now 22 years old, playing as a central defender), Michael Ballack (born on September 26, 1976, now 24 years old, playing as a central defender, midfielder, forward, and midfielder), Chan Wai Ho (born on April 24, 1982, now 18 years old, serving as a left and right defender, center-back).
The two starting midfielders were Philippe Lahm (born 11 November 1983, 17 years old, playing as full-back and midfielder) and Bastian Schweinsteiger (born 1 August 1984, 16 years old, playing as a playmaker).
The three attacking midfielders on the field, from right to left, are Ronaldinho (born on March 21, 1980, now 20 years old, playing as a forward, midfielder, winger), Long Zheng (born on November 15, 1978, now 22 years old, serving as goalkeeper, defender, forward, and midfielder), Rete Ribeiro Adriano (born on February 17, 1982, now 18 years old, playing as a striker and striker).
The starting main striker, Klose (born on June 9, 1978, 22 years old, playing as a winger and center forward), has Long Zheng behind him to attract the opponent's defensive firepower, and Klose's offensive pressure has been reduced a lot.
On the bench on the sidelines, Cristiano Ronaldo (born on February 5, 1985, 15 years old, playing as a winger and center forward) was quite helpless, and he was surrounded by Alger Robben (born January 23, 1984, now 16 years old, winger, center forward), Wesley Sneijder (born June 9, 1984, now 16 years old, playing as a midfielder), Thiago Silva (born 22 September 1984, now 16 years old, playing as a central defender) and others.
In order to increase the defensive intensity, head coach Beckenbauer asked Ryuzheng to increase the range of running and be sure to freeze the offensive organization and planning of the Dutch national football team from the middle.

Against the favourite, Frank Rijkaard pinned his hopes on attacking instead of defending, with a one-three-four-three formation on the field.
The starting main goalkeeper, the No. 1 player, Edwin van der Sar, born on October 29, 1970, is now Chinese New Year's Eve;
Starting right wing-back, No. 3 player, Jaap Stam, born on July 17, 1972, is now 28 years old;
Starting central defender, No. 4, Frank de Boer, born on May 15, 1970, is now Chinese New Year's Eve;
Different from other formations, in the 1343 formation, serving as the central defender of the No. 4 player is a difficult task.
Since Dutchman Johan Cruyff became Barcelona manager, he has revolutionised himself with a creative three-four-three formation and created a new football term, the number four.
Dutchman Johan Cruyff believes that the whole world was playing in a four-four-two formation at the time, and to deal with the opponent's two strikers, it was enough to use three defenders. The forward line added a player and a backfield player to assist in midfield, a position he gave the number four.
The position of the number four player seems to have very simple requirements for the player, not the need for a tall and strong body and very outstanding skills, but it is very important to pay attention to speed, not the speed of the player's running, but the speed of thinking, the number four player must have designed the passing route before receiving the ball, and pass the football to the teammate in the front line in the shortest time and accurately. The number four player does not need to run all the time, but he must always think, have enough talent and intelligence, have a broad vision, quick thinking, focus on reading the game, and control the rhythm of attack and defense. For example, Barcelona's outstanding number four has Pep Guardiola, Xavi and Andres Iniesta.
Judging from the specifics of the three-four-three formation that Johan Cruyff laid out when he was in charge of Barcelona, his three defenders are only in a general left-to-right position, and there is no absolute distinction between central defenders and full-backs, sometimes he will send two central defenders and a full-back, and sometimes he will send a central defender and two full-backs. Among them, Ronald Koeman, the Dutch star central defender who joined Barcelona in 1989, was the absolute main force and core of the team's defense, until he left in 95, his accurate long pass was Barcelona's first offensive weapon, and he also had excellent long-range shooting ability and direct free kick technology.
In this match, Frank de Boer, who played as the No. 4 player of the Dutch national football team, has fully proved himself on the field of the Sasa League. As the core of the Oriental Chinese Business Football Club's defence, Frank de Boer's ability is obvious to all.
The starting left wing-back, the number five, Baldwin Zenden, born on August 15, 1976, is now 24 years old;
The starting midfielder, No. 8, Edgar Davis, born on March 13, 1973, is 27 years old;
Starting midfielder, number seven, Philippe Cocu, born on October 29, 1970, is now Chinese New Year's Eve;
The starting midfielder, number 12, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, born on February 5, 1975, is now 25 years old;
Starting midfielder, number 15, Paul Bosvelt, born on March 26, 1970, is now Chinese New Year's Eve;
Starting right striker, number ten, Dennis Bergkamp, born on 10 May 1969, is now Chinese New Year's Eve;
The starting central striker, the number nine, Patrick Kluivert, was born on July 1, 1976, and is now 24 years old;
Starting left winger, number 11, Mark Overmars, born on 29 March 1973, is 27 years old.
On the sidelines, eleven substitutes were equally famous. As a European powerhouse, to be selected for the Dutch national football team, then this player must have his own strengths, and he must have proven himself in the professional league.
Player No. 22, Sandel Westerved, goalkeeper, born on October 23, 1974, is 26 years old;
Player No. 18, Ed De Huye, goalkeeper on the field, born on December 20, 1966, is now Chinese New Year's Eve;
Player No. 2, Michael Reziger, a defender on the field, born on May 3, 1973, is now 27 years old;
Player No. 6, Clarence Seedorf, a defender on the field, born on April 1, 1976, is now 24 years old;

In order to take the initiative on the field, after the start of the game, the Salween national football team launched a decisive attack.
Without the support of his teammates, Long Zheng, Ronaldinho, Adriano, and Klose relied on their unparalleled personal ability to directly take Ronaldinho's side down, Long Zheng and Klose grabbed points in front of the goal, and Adriano responded outside the penalty area, directly tearing apart the opponent's defense line and launching a strong attack towards the opponent's goal.
Like Cheng's three-board axe, the Salween national football team's strong attack achieved immediate results. In the fifth minute of the game, Ronaldinho made a cross from the bottom, Long Zheng in front of the goal grabbed the first point, and scored with a header, and the football flew into the net in the stunned eyes of the opponent's goalkeeper, and the score was instantly rewritten to 1-0.
With a one-goal lead, the Salween national football team did not shrink the defensive line and continued to fight against the Dutch national football team.
All of a sudden, the situation on the field was extremely hot, and the football flew around in mid-air. At the end of the first half, both teams abandoned the midfield, and after winning the ball in the backfield, it was a big foot that drove the ball directly to the front court and launched a high-intensity offensive from the big penalty area to the big penalty area. On the sidelines, the audience watching the event was fascinated, and the waves of people covering the whole stadium were wave after wave.
Only flowering and not bearing fruit is the true portrayal of the two teams in the first half, and the 1-0 game was maintained until the end of halftime. With a one-goal advantage, the Salween national football team went into a fifteen-minute halftime break.
It is undeniable that the match with the Dutch national football team is the most difficult game played by the Salwyn national football team since the start of the game, in the final analysis, it is because the defensive strength of the Salwyn national football team is unsatisfactory, in order to prevent the opponent's frequent offensive, the midfielders led by Long Zheng have to retreat frequently to assist the defenders to defend the attack of the Dutch national football team.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
At the start of the second half, the Dutch national football team, which had fallen behind by one goal, resumed its attack. The attacking group led by Dennis Bergkamp frequently threatened the goal of the Salwyn national football team, and in order to protect the goal, head coach Beckenbauer had to retreat from the front to the back of the midfield, using Long Zheng's height and strength to strengthen the team's defense. With three midfielders, four defenders, and a goalkeeper, plus two defenders and a striker, the Salwyn national football team finally stopped the opponent's frantic attack.
