Chapter 220 World Cup China VS Netherlands Five
When the Dutch team's goalscorer Klaas shook off the attacking goalkeeper and shot with his feet unmarked after that delicate adjustment, too many Chinese gathered to watch the game TV broadcast became silent at that moment.
At this time, the surroundings were quiet, except for the shouts of the narrator coming from the speakers of the television.
No one would question the possible outcome of such a shot. But just as people were about to show their frustration unscrupulously after another goal conceded, a tall figure appeared in front of the unmarked goal in the picture!
That's Yerti, the central defender of the Chinese team!
He was in the Netherlands, Hendricus kicked the ball out of the parabola and spun over his head and didn't give up a single qiē!
This central defender, who is obviously a central defender on the field but often contributes wonderful assists, understands that he is already the last line of defense in front of the Chinese goal! So, when he saw the ball and passed it to Klaas's feet, he ran all the way to the goal, and when Klaas shook off the attacking goalkeeper and launched that shot, Yelti, who was about to catch up, lunged with two more steps, and then hit the ground with his right hand and kicked his left foot!
"Yelti! This is a defender who went to the goal and saved the team with his feet! ”
When the loud sound of Yelti's left foot touching the ball was transmitted to nearly 100 million television sets around the world, the Chinese commentator was so excited that he couldn't control his voice!
But the miracle that happened in front of the Chinese team's goal did not end there! Yelti's goalmouth clearance hit a Dutch player! But this series of accidents happened too quickly! This made the Dutch player stunned and spent a second or two thinking about what he should do in such a situation!
In the past two seconds, Zhanyang, who had not been able to defend Hendricus but followed all the way to Klaas, accelerated after a sharp turn and rushed towards the Dutch player who got the ball in the chaos! At that time, the Dutch player was about to return the ball to the feet of the three players in the front line!
Zhanyang, the youngest member of the team, rushed out of the middle of the road like this, intercepted the pass, and then rushed towards the half of the Dutch team without looking back!
Until the Chinese defender, who was overly nervous no matter how he looked at it, rushed to the midfield with the ball, the players of the Dutch team could still maintain enough calm. They didn't even think that the boyish way he ran with the ball or looked so childish could pose a threat to their goal.
As a defensive midfielder, Zhanyang certainly does not have the ability to impact the position of the Dutch team, but when he ran towards the midfield line, Lei Yi, who had also participated in the return defense before, began to run in the same direction!
Skotic, who had been paying attention to Thunder Wing almost all the time in this game, immediately understood this scene and ran along.
"A precise pass! This pass is so clever! After the twenty-year-old Zhanyang snatched the ball from the feet of the Dutch team's attacking players, he immediately rushed towards the Dutch team's half-court position with the ball! But he didn't look like he was going to ride a thousand miles alone! He just looked like he was just trying to get to a slightly empty area to get the ball out! Zhanyang's pass went straight around the Dutch team's central defense and was sent to the feet of HA! ”
Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
The scene of the match between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Costa Rica.
"Edin!"
"Edin!"
"Edin!"
"Ibridge!"
When Bosnia and Herzegovina finally broke through Costa Rica's goal after 76 minutes, Bosnia and Herzegovina fans shouted the name of the scorer who scored the goal three times in a row. And after that, they shouted his surname again with the loudest voice!
After this goal, the two teams tied for first place in the standings with four points each went to 1:1, and such a goal was crucial for Bosnia and Herzegovina, who had been behind for a long time. This means that even if the Dutch team can win the match with China, they still have the hope of qualifying for the group stage of this World Cup!
But before the Bosnia and Herzegovina players could finish their goal celebrations, the audience erupted in a huge cheer! That's because some of them saw that in another game in the same group, the Chinese team, which had been behind, equalized again and shouted loudly, telling others over and over again! Then, the electronic screen in the stadium in Sarajevo showed the national flags of the Chinese team and the Dutch team.
…………
In the 77th minute, Leiy Ha scored his second goal of the game! 2:2! The Chinese team equalized! This is an assist from Zhanyang! This time, Scottic managed to put the ball into the back of the net after that, although he sent it before Thunderwing's shot was complete! It's a wonderful curling kick! The Dutch goalkeepers were not able to keep their goal again with such a shot! ”
With this shot, the score on the electronic big screen in the stadium finally changed, and the panting Lei Yi didn't have time to jump up from the ground to celebrate his goal, and the picture on the electronic big screen in the stadium had changed again! First of all, a print advertisement from one of the sponsors of this World Cup, followed by the flags of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Costa Rica! This means that the score has changed again for the other game in this group!
1:1。
When they saw such a score, the Dutch players who had just been equalized by the Chinese team fell into a terrible silence.
The result of the other match in this group does not mean much for the Chinese team and the Chinese fans who came to support them, but it is very important for the Dutch team!
After two rounds of the three group stage matches, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Costa Rica both have four points from one win and one draw, while the Netherlands have only two points after two draws. In such a situation, the Netherlands will need Bosnia and Herzegovina to go straight to Costa Rica, and they will also beat China themselves to qualify for the round of 16 of the World Cup as group runners-up.
But now, in the 76th minute of this 90-minute game, the Dutch team, which thought that the game would be won, was equalized by the Chinese team, and Bosnia and Herzegovina and Costa Rica also drew the game.
This means that the Dutch team's hopes of qualifying are very, very slim.
Or you could say that it's almost nothing.
However, the silence within the Dutch team did not last long, as Dutch stars Hendricus and Klaas, who also played for Real Madrid in La Liga, had already shouted "Attack! "Don't stop attacking!" and again and again emphasize that they still have time!
Yes, they do have time to change the outcome of this game, but with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Costa Rica drawn, how can the Dutch team, who have drawn both group games, have time to score enough goals to win through the group stage of the World Cup in a much tougher than expected game?
Without!
In the 78th minute, the Netherlands and China, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Costa Rica still did not break through the score. Seeing that the game was approaching the end minute by minute, although the fans of both teams used their last strength to push the atmosphere in the audience to the last round of high before the end of the game, the atmosphere in the Dutch coach's seat was already very solemn.
"Both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Costa Rica have slowed down their tempo."
An assistant coach on the Dutch coaching staff said this to the Dutch manager.
It's like they're following the match between Poland and Costa Rica. Poland and Costa Rica are also keeping an eye on the game. And they must also know that the situation between the Netherlands and China has fallen into a brief stalemate.
As a result, both teams tacitly opted to slow down their attacking tempo.
You could say it's a tacit agreement that hasn't gone through the negotiating table. You could also say that neither Bosnia and Herzegovina nor Costa Rica want to be caught by their opponents in the final moments of the game because of their fierce attacks. This is a critical moment for no one to risk putting themselves in such a dangerous situation.
The Dutch boss will certainly understand what that signal means. So he looked at the shape on the field and was silent for a moment before saying to his assistant coach: "Replace Skotic and Drehack." ”
"Please, please forgive?"
"Give the young guys a chance to play in the big games."
With that, the Dutch coach called on three young players who were sitting on the bench and asked them to go to the sidelines to prepare for a warm-up. After three minutes of warm-up, the Dutch team, who still did not break through in the score, proposed substitutions and replaced two players from the field at a time.
They were Scottic, who contributed a number of wonderful interceptions in this game, and Dutch star Drehake, who played as a midfielder.
Although the young Dutch players were still running as hard as they could after taking the pitch, everyone who watched the scene would know that this was the final performance of the ambitious Dutch team, who had struggled in the early stages of the group stage, to dedicate to their fans at this World Cup.
Apparently Roma's main defender Skotic, who had been spurned by his hometown for choosing to play for the Netherlands before this World Cup, was still a little dazed when he sat on the team's bench, and he didn't seem to understand why the first qiē ended so quickly. But the Dutch midfielder Drehaker, who was clearly unable to play in the next World Cup due to his age, sat on the bench with five minutes to go, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Due to the age difference between the two, when Scottic grew up in the Eredivisie, Drehack had already gone to play in the top five leagues. So there's really little overlap between Skotic and the famous Dutch midfielder.
But at the moment, the veteran, who has already gone through the best moments of his career, is sitting in Skotic, making people see the tears of his emotional wounds.
Skotic, who turned his head to see the scene, smiled self-deprecatingly, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.
From this moment on, he may no longer be the grumpy kid who just landed in Serie A and bites Lazio's favorite goalscorer in the Rome derby.
With the final whistle blowing, fans are kicking off their night of revelry in the city with the largest number of Croatian fans, beating Mexico, who finished first after two rounds of group play, to fight for the group stage.
In the stadium where the Chinese team played the Dutch team, a draw left the players and fans of both teams feeling a little lost.
As Skotic got up from the bench and walked to the pitch, he felt the color of the sky seem to change a lot.
Then, the young defender, who had played 81 minutes in the game, pulled up the Dutch players who had fallen on the pitch one by one at the end of the game, their eyes red. That's because he doesn't want his national team teammates to let the whole world see their defeat after a big defeat.
But the young defender was not good at words, so he could only walk up to his teammates and pull them up one by one without saying a word. And when he pulled the fifth teammate up from the ground and gave him a silent hug, one of them patted him on the shoulder from behind.
It was the two goals that he contributed in this game and really achieved the long and short legs of "desperately blocking the Dutch team".
The city's arch-rival's leading goalscorer gave him a hard hug and a pat on the back when the tall defender, who had ice-colored eyes and had been at odds with him since his move from Ajax to Roma, turned around.
After that, Scottic looked at Thunderwing for a few moments before he simply took off his jersey and put it in front of Thunderwing's eyes.
This, of course, means that the Red Wolves defenders want to swap jerseys with the Blue Eagles' leading goalscorer. This has never happened before! And Lei Yi happily took off the red jersey on his body after seeing the other party's action and handed it to the other party. The two gave each other a strong hug as they exchanged jerseys.
Yes, they are still young. It certainly won't be their last World Cup.
It's not even a World Cup that made them shine. And at this moment, the best words for the two of them are those sentences:
"See you in the new season."
"See you in the new season." Ray Wing said to Scottic.
The Dutch defender, who had eyes the color of ice, said the same thing to Lei Yi, and then the two turned around and returned to their teams, thanking the fans who had come to support them with their national team teammates......
