Li Weifeng looked at the red card in front of him, didn't argue, lowered his head and walked out of the sideline silently.

In the 57th minute of the game, just two minutes after Van Persie missed a penalty for the second time, the Dutch team played a quick counterattack again, and Li Weifeng reflexively put a tackle in order to prevent Robben from cutting inside with Rong Hao. He had no intention of deliberately committing a foul, but he couldn't move as fast as Robben, only tackling people without touching the ball.

The La Leonda referee showed him a second yellow card, which was not controversial and was as real as the foul caused by Li Weifeng because his defensive ability was not enough to contain Robben. Under the combined factors of timing selection, action speed, and action rationality, if Li Weifeng can be 0.1 seconds faster, this will be an extremely successful and exemplary tackle defense, without this 0.1 second, it can only be a foul.

And these 0.1 seconds are the unknown world that his ability is beyond his reach.

The three-center-back system cannot be missing, and two minutes later, Jie Shuai replaced Rong Hao with 30-year-old veteran Ji Mingyi. Rong Hao's performance today is far from being amazing with Cameroon, but mediocre to almost obscurity. He couldn't keep up with Robben's wide range of changes across the flanks and even on the wings, and he couldn't adapt to the suddenness and swiftness with which Sneijder and others played the ball to Robben.

Rong Hao's defense and Robben's offense are two realms of football, just like Li Weifeng's helplessness. But despite the mediocre performance, Rong Hao is also an interlocking link in the team's overall tactics, and the defensive adjustment can make up for the lack of three central defenders, but it is a cruel reality to play one less person on the field, and the Chinese team's already low tactical adaptability can not maintain the previous plump offensive.

After another two minutes, the Chinese team was already the same team as before, and the Netherlands did not need much high-end passing to send the Chinese team to the end. When a weak team plays a strong team, the biggest reliance is often that morale, and once the momentum is no longer there, the all-round gap will be immediately revealed.

In the 66th minute, Ji Mingyi defended Van Persie from behind and raised his leg to try to destroy the ball, and at the same time squeezed forward and leaned on his hand to also move, Van Persie was like a soft-footed hen, 'poof' fell into the mud, and the referee of La Leonda awarded an indirect free kick.

At this time, the Chinese players made the same mistake as Italy a few days ago, Ji Mingyi and Du Wei only cared about raising the bar with the referee, but did not guard against the Dutch team Van Bronckhorst seized the opportunity to quickly send a free kick.

Van Bronckhorst hoisted straight into the penalty area from 40 yards out, not to mention that the Chinese team was caught off guard, and even most of the Dutchmen did not react, except for Kuyt, who was always tireless and always looking for his time.

The pass landed very precisely, just at the position of Wang Dalei half a beat slowly, and Kuyt rushed to the ball past him. But Wang Dalei showed the physical fitness of a top goalkeeper at this time, and he forced his body back when he was old with his strength, and chased Kuyt again, blocking the angle of his shot.

At this time, Sneijder also pursued it, Kuyt did not need to force a shot at all, he was a very selfless team player. Kuyt pulled the ball back to Sneijder on the other side of the goal, and the Chinese team had no cover in front of the Dutch No.10.

Sneijder pushed the empty goal, and Zhuo Yang's lightning-fast return save only hooked the ball from a metre deep in the goal line. Under the watchful eye of the sharp-eyed second linesman Espinosa, his efforts were clearly in vain.

0:2, the Chinese team, which fought with one less man, walked up the cliff.

.

Zhuo Yang didn't know if this was his most desperate game, and he didn't dare deny the fights he had in the past eight years, but he was sure that he would be even harder than he had been against Italy five days earlier.

In the first 70 minutes, the Chinese team, which is very different in strength from its opponent, has not allowed the score to expand, and has been almost evenly matched with the powerful Netherlands, and the only element in this is Zhuo Yang. Without Zhuo Yang, the Chinese team has already been spent, and without Zhuo Yang, maybe it can be announced in the first half of the garbage time.

The Netherlands have made four must-kill counter-attacks so far in the game, scoring two goals and two penalties in four times. However, if it weren't for Zhuo Yang to contain the defensive center of gravity of the entire Netherlands, so that they did not dare to play the most cathartic counterattack, this number would have doubled at the worst, and it would have been a tragedy.

With a total of 736 players competing at the World Cup in South Africa, Zhuo Yang suffered the tightest defence the 736ers have experienced in a month today, but he still made seven high-quality dangerous passes, organized and instigated nine imaginative attacks, and single-handedly completed five high-quality shots.

Without Zhuo Yang's deterrence and efforts at both offensive and defensive ends, the Chinese team would not have been able to maintain until now, this is a one-man team. Zhuo Yang knew that his teammates were working hard, just like himself, but the upper limit of their ability restricted their efforts and did not see the results in the score.

Zhuo Yang also knows that according to the current overall strength of the Chinese team, leaving the World Cup early is inevitable, and he should even return to China at this time. Reaching the round of 16 is undoubtedly a success, and leaving at this time will never seem like a failure. But he was still unwilling to leave like this, and did not fight for the opportunity until the last minute, Zhuo Yang was unwilling.

Zhuo Yang knew that no matter how hard he worked before, he still needed to work harder next.

.

Coach Van Marwijk was pleased with his tactical approach today, with a 2-0 score now trumping all controversy. Although there will certainly be more media questioning after the game that he is more conservative in the face of such an underdog as China, Lao Fan doesn't care, and victory can make everything insignificant.

In Lao Fan's analysis, the overall strength of the Chinese team is undoubtedly in the bottom ten or even the bottom five in the top 32, but the Chinese team is the most special team in the bottom ten, and this team must not be simply looked at from the perspective of the ordinary bottom ten weak teams. Otherwise, they will surely stumble in front of them, and Cameroon is a lesson from the past.

The X factor in this is Zhuo Yang! Before becoming the manager of the Dutch national team, Lao Fan coached Feyenoord in the Eredivisie and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, where he played against Zhuo Yang's Madiburg, and on both occasions he was sacked by a crucial defeat to Madiburg.

In Lao Fan's opinion, it is okay to be arrogant in the face of the Chinese team, but it is not too cautious to encounter Zhuo Yang. Speaking in his heart, Lao Fan hopes that the Chinese team can win Group F before more than the Chinese, and he would rather let the Netherlands face Paraguay or even Italy than face Zhuo Yang, and Lao Fan does not want his coaching path to be interrupted by Zhuo Yang again. A one-person team is not easy to play, especially if this person is Zhuo Yang.

Lao Fan was very satisfied with the score of 2:0, and it was not the end of the world that the two penalty kicks were not scored, and he had to entangle with the Chinese team until the penalty shootout 120 minutes later, which would be the desperate end of the world.
