No. 537: Who will take this penalty?
After a fifteen-minute half-time break, players from both sides were back on the pitch and the second half was about to begin.
Dutch national TV commentator Adar was in a good mood today, and he jokingly asked the guest commentator Ruud Gullit: "Mr. Gullit, do you think Chen can score a hat-trick in this game?" ”
Gullit laughed: "With the form he showed in the first half, scoring a hat-trick is not a big problem, I would have liked him to be replaced by Van Marwijk sooner rather than later and save the goal for the next game." ”
Adar smiled and said: "I would like him to continue scoring goals and score a hat-trick, after all, no one has scored a hat-trick in two consecutive games in the World Cup, I want him to be the first!" ”
I wonder what journalists from other countries will think when they hear what they are talking about.
"Tick! ……”
As the referee's whistle blew and the game resumed, the Dutch, who were the first to serve, were in no hurry to push the ball into the opposition half, keeping in mind Van Marwijk's half-time request to slow down and keep the ball under their feet as much as possible.
Slovakia didn't press frantically either, they kept most of their forces on the defensive.
The game became dull, and the fans were bored and played "human waves".
The commentator of Argentine national television scoffed: "What is there to see in such a game, neither side is aggressive. Slovakia is okay, they are not strong enough, why is the Netherlands so conservative? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the tempo on the pitch suddenly accelerated, and Sneijder crossed to Van Persie in front of the penalty area in the opponent's hinterland, and Van Persie crossed directly to the left.
Chen Fan got rid of Kuzka next to him and flew to kill and control the football at his feet.
After Chen Fan got the ball, four Slovakian players immediately surrounded him.
Chen Fan's center of gravity suddenly pressed to the left front, and he rushed towards the bottom line!
Like a cheetah, Chen Fan took his prey to avoid the encirclement of hyenas and went to enjoy the spoils alone.
"Smack! ……”
At a distance of five meters from the bottom line, Chen Fan made a horizontal pass, and the football flew towards the penalty area!
Van Persie stepped forward and leaned on Weiss, he was about to finish the push!
He was the only one in the Dutch trident who didn't score in this game, and he had to finish the goal with a push.
Chen Fan passed the ball very fast, Van Persie raised his left foot and pushed it away, but he couldn't control his footwork and the ball flew off the pitch over the crossbar.
Missing the chance to score again, Van Persie covered his face in annoyance.
Three minutes later, the Netherlands were back in action when midfielder Stoch brought Sneijder down in the middle of the pitch and the referee awarded the Netherlands a free-kick in front.
Sneijder got up from the turf and quickly sent a free kick, and the football flew towards Chen Fan!
Chen Fan took the football to the opponent's penalty area before the other party noticed!
"Stop him!"
Slovakia goalkeeper Muha yelled at his defenders.
His voice was full of anxiety, damn it, what are you doing, let this guy rush into the restricted area, isn't that the end of it?
Zhu Licha, who came to his senses, immediately rushed forward to intercept Chen Fan.
Where can he intercept Chen Fan alone, Chen Fan will enter the forbidden area with a false flick!
The air at the Durban stadium was getting tense again, and the Dutch fans took a deep breath and the hat-trick came!
Slovakia right-back Pecaric was abused by Chen Fan a lot today, he saw that the situation was critical, he took a step forward, his center of gravity dropped, and his right foot flew towards Chen Fan with the turf!
Flying shovel!
"Ahh ……”
There was no accident in the next moment, Chen Fan fell to the ground with a bang!
"Tick! ……”
The referee blew the whistle decisively, pointed his right hand firmly at the penalty spot, and then rushed to Pecarik's side and raised a yellow card at him.
The ESPN commentator shouted, "Penalty! Chan helps the Netherlands win a penalty! ”
Gullit said in surprise: "Chen's hat trick is here!" ”
The Spanish national TV commentator said: "Sneijder sent a quick free kick, Chen took advantage of the opposing defender's inattention to take the football into the penalty area, and Pecarrick chose to foul in desperation.
However, he chose the wrong place for the foul and the Netherlands won the penalty.
Will Chen personally come to take the penalty?
It was his best chance to score a hat-trick! ”
On the pitch, Slovakia was very unhappy with the referee and questioned the legitimacy of the goal.
They think there is a problem with the Netherlands' quick free-kicks.
The referee did not explain anything to them at all, and the referee's prestige could not be shaken.
The Dutch player pulled Chen Fan up from the turf and gave him a big hug.
Since the referee could not change the decision, he had to accept that Slovak goalkeeper Muja rubbed his fists and he was going to save the penalty.
Other players stand outside the box.
But there was not a single Dutch player in the box.
Van Marwijk's first penalty taker was Sneijder, but Sneijder had to give up the opportunity to Chen Fan and let him score a hat-trick.
This is a good thing, but what people didn't expect was that Chen Fan refused to take the penalty he created, and he wanted to give the opportunity to Van Persie, who had not yet scored.
That's why it's the current situation.
The ESPN commentator said: "It looks like the Dutch players are debating who should take the free-kick, but shouldn't it be Chen?
As long as he scores this penalty, he will become only the fourth player in history to score two hat-tricks in the same World Cup!
He will also become the first player in the world to score a hat-trick in two consecutive games!
The previous three scored two hat-tricks in the same World Cup, respectively, Hungarian star Kochis.
In the 1954 World Cup, he scored a hat-trick in a 9-0 win over South Korea in the group stage and an 8-3 win over the Federal Republic of Germany.
The second is the legendary French superstar Fontaine, who scored a hat-trick in the 1958 World Cup 7-3 win over Paraguay in the group stage and 6-3 in the 3rd and 4th place finals, including four goals against the Federal Republic of Germany.
The third is Gade, who is known as the 'German bomber'? Muller, who scored a hat-trick in the 1974 World Cup 5-2 win over Bulgaria and 3-1 win over Canada in the group stage, scored four goals against Bulgaria. ”
At this moment, there was a loud shout from the stands: "The Flash! ”
"The Flash!"
"The Flash!"
They wanted Chen Fan to take the penalty.
Van Persie shrugged his shoulders and said to Chen Fan: "Chen, you heard it, they want you to take the penalty." ”
Chen Fan said with a smile: "Robin, if I want to complete a hat trick, do I have to use a penalty?" Don't you believe me? ”
Van Persie thought about it, no longer entangled, hugged him tightly, and walked into the forbidden area!
The ESPN commentator exclaimed, "God, Chen actually gave up the penalty opportunity!" Doesn't he want to score a hat-trick and become a legend? ”
