982 The only option

"The current situation is very unfavorable for the Dutch team..."

On the commentary seat, the Dutch commentator said with some frustration.

The first half is over and the players have returned to the dressing room.

At this time, in the stands, the fans of the Dutch team were a little silent, while the English were there singing and cheering!

Half-time 3-2 lead the Netherlands!

The English see hope of reaching the World Cup semi-finals and they certainly have reason to celebrate.

In the dressing room of the Dutch team!

"Attack! From the second half, step up the attack! We have to occupy the midfield, we have to form a certain pressure on England!! ”

"Try to equalize as soon as possible!! Score as much as you can!! At the same time, no more goals can be conceded! ”

Van Gaal said with a serious expression.

And at the moment, in the dressing room on the other side.

"Guys, you guys did a good first half!!"

Gao Bo was in high spirits with a smile on his face.

He was not only happy that the team scored again in the last minute of the first half, but also because it was a huge demoralization blow to the Dutch!

"In the second half, the battle will still be in the middle of the field! We're going to set up a close containment in the midfield! Don't let them take the ball easily, don't let them pass the ball easily!! Especially! Don't let them bond with the strikers!! ”

"Cause problems for their midfielders as much as possible!! Delay their attack as much as possible! ”

"Second half! It's going to be a midfield fight!! ”

Gao Bo said.

"Wayne, in the second half I need to play a midfielder and play a counter-attack!"

Gao Bo looked at Rooney and said.

Rooney nodded.

He knows it.

In the lead, Gao Bo will replace him.

Then bring on Ross Barkley in midfield!

Ross Barkley didn't play much in the first few games.

But Gao Bo brought him to the World Cup, not to let him sit on the bench all the time!

The rest of the schedule is intensive.

Everyone has to come in handy.

Ross Barkley is a typical England midfielder.

Physically strong, confrontational, defensive.

This is the reason why Gao Bo replaced him.

In this way, the midfield four are Henderson, Gerrard, Barkley and Milner.

Raheem Sterling was then pushed into the shadow striker position by him.

The purpose is also obvious.

It's the counterattack of the big Dutch team.

In the second half, the Dutch team was definitely going to attack.

And to storm!

To be honest, with the lineup of the England team, if it is against the Dutch team for 90 minutes, it is really difficult to say who will die.

Gao Bo doesn't want this kind of uncertain thing.

He wants to be steady!

Win this game with confidence!!

"Forty-five minutes left!! Win this game and reach the semi-finals!! Every minute we have in Brazil now is for the decisive battle!! Now, it's time for the final sprint!! ”

....

Before the second half of the game began, the director pointed the camera at the stands, looking for highlights.

In the VIP box, the camera found many familiar faces.

First up is the Beckham family, England team legend.

David Beckham, wearing an England shirt, stood at the very edge of the box and cheered along with the fans in the stands.

The Dutch team also has celebrities sitting in the stands.

Ruud Gullit, one of the Dutch trio of Milan City that year, was also in the stands.

It's just that his expression is not as relaxed as Beckham's.

Gurlit, who has been retired for many years and has already gained a good figure, has a serious expression on his face at the moment.

If he is in his teens or twenties, he may not be able to play in the national team shirt himself...

....

In the different minds of both sides.

The second half began.

At this point, England made a tackle!!

Gerrard makes a long diagonal pass near the centre circle!

Raheem Sterling chested the ball forward and got up with his ass up!

"Pretty!!"

The commentators applauded Sterling's performance.

He just shook off Kuyt with his speed and went straight to the defense of the Dutch team's three-centre-back system!!

Raheem Sterling takes the ball and looks down the middle!

Substitute Ross Barkley cut into the box and Vardy was already in place!

De Vrij comes over to defend Sterling!

Sterling paused, slammed the ball with his right foot, shook off the angle and crossed directly!

Fast!

Direct!

This is a requirement for counter-attack operations.

Although there are only two points in the penalty area.

But... The Dutch team also did not have many numbers in the defence.

In the second half of the game, the Dutch team can be said to have pressed all the way, leaving a lot of space at the back.

"Vardy!!"

There was a sudden agitation in the stands!

At the back post, Vardy was already jumping high and smashing the ball towards the goal with his header!!

"Silleson !!"

The commentator of the Dutch team has broken his voice!!

"Beautiful save!! Almost subconsciously raised his arms and blocked the opponent's header!! ”

"Oh..."

In the stands, both the English and the Dutch, the expressions were similar.

The Dutch are the aftermath of the catastrophe, and their hearts are palpitating.

And the English are extremely regretful, holding their heads in their hands.

"Beautiful!"

Gao Bo was ready to celebrate, but after seeing the performance of the opposing goalkeeper, he had to shake his head.

But he still gave the players a round of applause and encouraged them to play.

The first counterattack of the second half created such a threat!

This obviously caused problems for the Dutch team to attack as well.

If they press, they will have to bear the risk of being counterattacked by England at any time!

...

Van Gaal's expression was serious.

He now had to admit it.

Gao Bo really deserves the praise that the media has given him.

In the second half of the game, he thought that Gao Bo's adjustment would wait until more than 60 minutes.

And the fifteen minutes between 45 and 60 minutes will be the chance of the Dutch team.

Unexpectedly, Gao Bo surprised him again.

Substitutions at the start of the second half.

and directly took Rooney, who was not as fast as it was back then, and replaced it with midfielder Barkley to directly strengthen the number of midfielders.

Up front, Raheem Sterling and Jamie Vardy, two fast forwards to attack the Dutch defence!

Very decisive!

So decisive that Van Gaal was a little flustered.

This game... It's really hard to kick!

The opponent leads by one goal...

Van Gaal's face darkened.

As soon as he thought that in the first half, the opponent surprised and won by surprise, scoring this goal that found the score again, Van Gaal wanted to curse.

If it wasn't for that goal and it was just a draw, then he would have a lot more room to adjust.

The opponent did not dare to put on a defensive counterattack.

After all, if the Dutch team patiently takes the ball and organizes the attack, it is still a very high probability to score a goal in 45 minutes.

This is true even if England defend on all fronts.

But right now, the Dutch team doesn't have the patience to organise the attacking mentality, and the Dutch players can't keep a very calm mind to control the ball when they are down by one goal.

Offensive!

is the only option.
