Chapter 359

For players on both sides, such a lineup is actually not very safe

The Netherlands are known for their all-attacking and defensive enthusiasts, who are very good at combining individual skills and overall coordination, but unfortunately infighting and a lack of tough-guy style have left them often one step away from being on the pitch. There is an old Chinese saying that "when you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins", and the Netherlands is the team that loses every time.

Maybe they'll show their courage in this game, maybe not, but they're a tough opponent anyway – no one wants to play against a crazy Dutch, and if they do play against a team like that, they really can't afford it.

The match starts, Portugal have the ball.

Deco tees off in the centre circle and gently sends the ball to the feet of Costinha, who usually passes the ball back to Deco, but in the surprised eyes of many people, Costinha glanced back, then smiled and sent the ball towards his own half.

？？？

"Wait, what does Portugal want to do and the game goes wrong at the beginning? Wrong...... Does Costinha want to give the ball to Juan? ”

Juan was stunned for a moment when he received the ball, but the Dutch players on the opposite side seemed to have already thought of such a scene, and they were ready to rush up and rush to force without hesitation.

Even in terms of pressing, the Netherlands are more collective, especially at this time, they are obviously very worried about Juan's destructive power, so it is Van Brondhorst - the Barcelona defender also has a lot of psychological shadow on Juan, but he rushed up without hesitation, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to directly sweep away the haze in his heart.

Juan didn't know what he was thinking, but he was really a little crying and laughing at the moment.

His teammates all knew, and the opponents all showed very clear expressions, but he was the only one who felt a little confused, is this really good?

However, such a mentality is obviously not possible on the court, fortunately, the opposite side is a little far away from him, Juan immediately adjusted himself, glanced at his teammates around him, and then his eyes lit up, and he ran forward with the ball.

Seeing that Juan himself was actually coming at him, Robben was a little stunned - he and Juan actually knew each other, Juan and Deportivo had contacted him in 04, but at that time he felt that he didn't like such a team, so he ignored it.

Who knows if there will be any championship in one season......

Of course, he will never regret his choice, but occasionally when he thinks about it, he feels that the world is a little strange, and he also finds people like Juan Díaz really interesting.

How can he do things that ordinary people can't?

Of course, now is not the time to think about these questions, just the group of people moving together in front of him made Robben want to smile bitterly.

Although the Dutch team has always adhered to the policy of all-offense and all-defense, and overall cooperation, I have to say that if it comes to individual ability, everyone still has deviations.

Robben, for example, is a standard offensive and defensive weak player, and he is also a very common glass physique in football - looking at the top 32 players in the entire World Cup, only alien Ronaldo and Argentina's Aimar can compete with him.

Want him to face Juan?

Then it's better to just let him lie on a stretcher......

Of course, although Robben thought so, in fact, he couldn't avoid it at this time, so he still stubbornly met it, wanting to at least intercept Juan for a while, so that Van Brondhorst behind him would not chase so hard.

When Juan stepped forward, he also saw Robben's somewhat resolute expression, which made him stunned for a moment.

- To be honest, Robben is really not old, he is even two years younger than Juan, but maybe because of perennial injuries, maybe because of his shiny brain, he looks like he is twenty years older than Juan, maybe it is because of this that many people who don't know football will exclaim "old and strong" when they see Robben.

…… In fact, what is old and strong, this person is only 22 years old.

Juan didn't choose to face Robben who came up, he also knew that Robben couldn't touch it, and it was easy to get a yellow card if he clashed with Robben, and Juan didn't want to experience the taste of being dealt at all!

Honestly, it was just too painful.

Again, the game has just begun, how can he be dealt a card at this time?

So Juan made a very simple and effective choice - he passed the ball, and it was a crisp through stopper.

"A crisp through ball! Juan Díaz has an innate talent for passing, he is ready to deliver football to the man he wants it to be, while his every pass opens up new ground for the team...... Figo catches the ball! ”

Figo began to break down as soon as he received the ball, and he knew exactly what he would face if he was a step slower.

It was the Dutch midfielders who diverted their attention from Juan and stared at him with fierce eyes!

Figo is not worried about the Dutch midfielder, he is more worried about Van der Sar, Manchester United's goalkeeper is reassuring, and at the same time, many people know the difficulty of shooting.

Unfortunately, his fears came a little too early – the ball was snatched from just three metres from the penalty area, the ball was transferred to the Dutch side, and the man with the ball was Van der Vaart.

The Dutch midfielder has his own rhythm and obviously in that rhythm he can bring a big breakthrough to the Netherlands.

Figo was robbed of the ball and hurriedly didn't have time, turned directly to grab the ball, Van der Vaart got rid of the entanglement of the Portuguese captain in three or two steps, and passed the football to Van Bommel on the other side two steps forward.

Van Bommel picked up the ball and broke forward, skimming the centre circle almost without hindrance, but there was a bit of trouble in the Portuguese half: Costinha stopped in front of him.

"The Dutch have been stopped, will this be the end of their attacking pace? …… Oh, and apparently not! The narrator laughed, "The Dutchman gave the most brilliant answer with his actions, and Ruud van Nistelrooy ran over to meet his teammates!" That's a rare occasion for Ruud van Nistelrooy, whose little box is almost never out of bounds, but today he managed to get out...... What does he want to do? ”

Fanny didn't want to do anything.

His goal is very simple, to cause most of the problems in the game, and it is better to score goals...... Of course, it's better to score against Juan Díaz!

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced back in Juan's direction.

The Netherlands were not as confident as their Portuguese opponents in the group stage, avoiding Juan Díaz's right flank when they entered the Portuguese half, and the Netherlands kept an eye on Juan and never let him touch the football.

It can be said that this is already the standard for treating top players, and you must know that Maradona, a striker, was only two people who kept staring at him closely behind him when he was at his peak.

Juan was indeed stuck on the right side, but he didn't feel unhappy, but looked at Van Brondhorst standing in front of him with a strained face, and then at Van Nistelrooy on the other side.

"If I were you, I'd turn around and leave, go to Vanney's side and help Vanney, preferably escorting him all the way to the box...... Otherwise, the king of the forbidden area will not be able to exert his strength. Juan suggested very sincerely.

"Someone will do this, and my job is to keep an eye on you." When he replied like this, Van Brondhorst tightened his face and looked very serious, and Juan nodded: "I know, thank you for your hard work." ”

Van Brondhorst was stunned, it was the first time he heard the defender say "hard work" when he was defending...... It was a strange feeling, and the way he looked at Juan was a little unusual.

Juan continued to pay attention to the situation after saying this, and Fanny noticed that although his gaze seemed to be a little moved, he finally resolutely looked ahead.

Although he would love to have a one-on-one match with Juan...... But this time is the national team competition, which is related to the World Cup! Everything has to be put aside first, and he needs to care more about the goal than the individual!

However, it seems that under such thoughts, his mood has become even worse.

The king of the small penalty area has dropped his form this season, and there are already many rumors that Ruud van Nistelrooy's position at Real Madrid is not very stable, but Juan doesn't care about that.

Apart from Raul and Casillas, who can guarantee their place in the main team at Real Madrid? What's more, Ruud van Nistelrooy's age is already here, and in a competitive environment like Real Madrid, he will be rotated off the pitch at the slightest trough, and he will not have the opportunity to try a few more times on the pitch.

Because a lot of players who are younger than him are waiting to play and prove that they can stay at the Bernabeu.

In the 12th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy broke through and shot from 37 yards out was saved, and in the 15th minute, Figo's shot from 35 yards was picked up by Van der Sar.

In the 25th minute, Mathieson was warned by the referee for pushing Gomez while scrambling for football, and at the same time Portugal and the Netherlands clashed a little, and the players of the two teams almost fought, and in the end it was Figo, Deco and Van der Vaart who pulled the two sides apart.

Juan looked back at the person opposite.
