No. 572: Steals and Long Passes!
Just as people were marveling at Chen's wonderful pass, Van Bronckhorst raised his chest to unload the football, and there was not a single defender beside him at the moment.
Uruguay, who had just resolved the crisis in front of goal, was in a panic at the back, some people immediately rushed to Van Bronckhorst, and some people were looking for their own defenders in the middle......
Van Bronckhorst couldn't possibly give the opposition a chance, as he took one look at the situation in the box and then fired a cross.
The football flew towards the penalty area, and the Uruguayan penalty area was in chaos.
In the confusion, no one touched the football, and the football flew backwards!
Robben flew to kill!
Unmarked, he directly volleyed!
The soccer ball flew towards the near corner like a cannonball!
The air at the Green Dot pitch was tense, could this powerful volley go in?
In last season's Champions League quarter-final final, Arjen Robben scored a brilliant volley at Old Trafford to help Bayern Munich knock out Manchester United.
Between the lightning and flint, the ball flew towards the post and flew out of the bottom line.
The hearts of the Uruguayan fans fell, and the Dutch fans sighed, if this goal is scored, it will definitely be a classic team goal, but it's a pity......
Robben covered his face in pain and regret, Uruguay coach Tabarez was furious, he was very dissatisfied with his defenders, damn, how could he be so leaky?
He yelled at the defenders.
Van Marwijk nodded in satisfaction and applauded his players.
The game soon resumed, with the Netherlands dropping back and Uruguay attacking, with a fierce battle around the centre circle and a tug-of-war at the Green Dot Stadium.
"The semi-finals were nerve-wracking, both sides were very defensive, the ball changed hands a lot, no one could control the situation on the field, and both sides were in a tough battle," ESPN exclaimed. ”
In the fifth minute, Uruguayan midfielder Arévalo forced a long shift under Sneijder's defense, and the ball flew to the right front.
Uruguayan full-back Cáceres, who had the assist, pushed the ball down the middle before sprinting forward.
Striker Cavani wanted to pass the football directly to his teammate Cáceres, who was quickly cutting forward on the wing, but Chen Fan blocked the passing route.
In desperation, Cavani had no choice but to keep the football under control.
At the moment when he stopped the ball, Chen Fan pounced violently!
During his time at Arsenal, Arsene Wenger told him the secret of defence – the best time to tackle is when the ball is out of the opposition's control.
The so-called not in the range of control is divided into two situations, one is that the opponent has just stopped the football and cannot make the next action, and there is a pause between the actions.
Another situation is that the opponent wants to break through and has just dialed out the football.
The current situation falls into the first category.
Cavani roared in his heart, his right foot suddenly stretched out to the football, he wanted to get rid of Chen Fan's save!
The next moment, he snapped his right foot and the ball rolled in front of him to the left.
Just as he was about to take a step forward to take control of the football, Chen Fan blocked him like a wall!
"Beautiful!"
The Milan sports commentator shouted: "Steal! It's a beautiful slot, and Chen's level of steals is world-class! ”
The commentator of the French commercial sports channel said: "Many fans in front of the TV must be amazed by Chen's tackling ability, and even wonder in their hearts that Chen is a striker? ”
"Fans who asked such questions certainly didn't pay attention to the Premier League or last season's Champions League quarter-final between Arsenal and Barcelona. In the home and away two-legged matches, Chen played in the midfield position, and he defended against Messi. ”
"In those two games, Messi had very few shots on goal, and many of his shots were completely blocked by Chen!"
"Being able to defend Messi and snatch the football from Cavani's feet is actually not a very difficult thing for Chen!"
The pseudo-fans in front of the TV suddenly realized, and then they were very surprised, Messi was actually deflated in front of Chen?
It's incredible!
After Chen Fan completed the steal, Van Persie in the front court immediately started to run, and he knew that his teammate was about to launch a long pass and quickly counterattack.
"Watch Van Persie!"
Uruguayan coach Tabarez, who was standing in the command area, yelled at his defenders, damn it, didn't you even notice that Van Persie was running?
Uruguayan central defender Victoria immediately pounced on Van Persie, and at this moment, Chen Fan had already passed the ball, and the football drew a wonderful arc in the air!
The ESPN commentator excitedly exclaimed, "A weird and precise long coming!" In the Premier League, Chen often uses such long passes to launch quick counterattacks! ”
"This is also Chen's killer feature when he kicks the back, and his long pass is on par with Gerrard!"
The commentator of Spanish national television said loudly: "Viewers and friends can see clearly, see how weird and accurate the long transmission that people call 'weird and accurate' is!" ”
Uruguayan centre-back Victoria, who was rapidly approaching Van Persie, looked up at the football in the air and wondered: according to the trajectory of the football, how could it fly to Van Persie?
Just as this question arose, surprise appeared in his eyes.
After the football flies to the highest point, it suddenly changes direction and flies to the left!
ESPN shouted: "This is Chen's long pass!" A weird and precise long pass! It was clear that the Uruguayan players were not used to such passes! ”
Some fans have doubts in their hearts, didn't it say that the two teams played a warm-up match more than a month ago, why didn't the Uruguayan defenders respond in advance?
Dutch national TV commentator Adar gave the answer: "In that warm-up game, although Chen played in the back midfield, he did not return to his own half to defend at all. After he came on as a substitute, he basically participated in the attack in the front court, so he didn't have the opportunity to show this pass! ”
Suarez, who was sitting in the stands, looked in a trance, when Chen Fan just entered the Eredivisie, he would not have the traditional long pass footwork, and the ball passed out was like a free kick, drawing a strange arc in the air.
His teammates are simply not fit for a long pass like him.
Chen Fan was very distressed about this.
Suarez jokingly told him that there is no need to worry about it, just follow this kind of footwork to pass long, people have to have personality, and the same is true for passing.
It indicates that Chen Fan has always persevered, who would have thought that it would achieve a good story in today's football world and become a landmark technology of Chen Fan.
If the two sides were not opponents today, he Suarez would definitely be proud and would applaud Chen Fan's pass, but he can't do it now.
In Suarez's complicated emotions, Van Persie raised his chest to unload the football, and then took the football to the Uruguayan penalty area!
With right-back Cáceres in front of the attack, there was an open field on the left, and Van Persie went straight along the channel!
The Uruguayan defense was in disarray, the two central defenders hurriedly rushed to Van Persie, Robben and Sneijder were quickly inserted on the right and in the middle respectively, and the situation in Uruguay was very serious.com reading, a better reading experience.
