"Spain is the fourth defending European champion to reach the World Cup final, with Italy in 1970 and West Germany in 1982 both defeated, and only West Germany in 1974 made it to the top, beating the Netherlands," said a commentator from Japan's NHK.

In the long history of the World Cup, the champion team has never scored less than eleven goals in total, while Spain scored only seven goals before the final, and the Netherlands scored a terrifying 23 goals, the most goals scored in the final in World Cup history!

Spain are the fourth team to reach the final after losing their opening game, having previously missed out on West Germany in 1982, Argentina in 1990 and Italy in 1994.

The only team that succeeded was Argentina in 1978, who lost a game in the group stage.

If there had not been a 'change of hotel', it might have been widely assumed that the Netherlands would have won the championship, but after the 'change of hotel', it was widely believed that it would be Spain who would have won!

Spain will become only the second team to lose in the group stage and still win the title!

The Netherlands have recently won 17 in a row and are unbeaten in 25 games, and counting the qualifiers, the Netherlands has won 17 in a row in the World Cup!

If they beat Spain, the Netherlands will become the second team to win all of their games since Brazil 2002, and only the second team since Brazil 1970 to win both qualifiers and finals, and will also break Uruguay's record as the world's least populous champion!

Whether Spain wins or the Netherlands wins, this World Cup will produce new kings and the World Cup title will be extended to eight teams! ”

……

"Tick! ……”

At half past eight, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began!

Spain, who took the lead in serving, moved the football to the backcourt, and the Dutch midfielder spread over the half court to press aggressively!

Van Marwijk asked them to press Spain's attacking space and prevent them from playing fluid.

Spain's passes were extremely fast, almost one-foot, and the Dutch midfielders, despite their hard work, were unable to get the ball down their feet.

Milan Sporting Station exclaimed: "Spain in the dark blue jersey showed their strength, completely controlled the football at their feet, and they wanted to play the pass and control style to the extreme!" ”

"In the '98 World Cup and the '06 World Cup, the final championship was won by the team wearing the blue jersey, which indicates that Spain is likely to win the final championship tonight!"

On the pitch, Spain moved their football up front, and the Dutch team took to heart coach Donny van Marwijk's request and went strong.

De Jong unreasonably brought down Andres Iniesta, who was holding the ball, and the referee blew the whistle and awarded Spain a free-kick in front.

Shortly after the resumption of the game, Van Bommel brought down Xavi who had the ball!

"The Netherlands learned the lessons of Germany's defeat and interrupted Spain's smooth coordination with fouls and interrupted Spain's offensive rhythm!" ”

The Argentine national television commentator scoffed: "Is this the Dutch team? God, this is the Dutch team known for its skills? Change jerseys and we'll think they're Swiss! ”

"Are the Dutch going to be lumberjacks?"

Switzerland are the inventors of the chain defence, known for their defence, and if not for their overall weakness, they could even be the epitome of defensive counter-attack.

"Shhhh ……”

There was a huge boo from the Spanish fans in the stands, who were taunting the Dutch team.

On the pitch, the Dutch players remained unmoved and continued the great "logging" work, with the Spanish players falling on the turf again and again......

In the fifth minute, Sergio Ramos provided an assist and Dutch captain Van Bronckhorst brought him down, and the referee awarded Spain another free-kick.

This time Xavi was ready to send the ball straight into the Dutch penalty area.

"Tick! ……”

After a whistle, the ball flies into the Dutch penalty area!

The Dutch penalty area was in chaos and Spain had a chance to finish their first shot of the game!

The air at the Soccer City stadium is getting tense and can Spain take advantage of this opportunity to get off to a fantastic start?

Ramos, who was ambushed in the Dutch penalty area, pushed away Mathieson next to him, stepped forward and flew out like a fish!

Leap to the top!

The next moment, the ball hit Ramos in the forehead and changed direction towards the goal!

The air in Soccer City is suffocatingly tense!

In the Dutch goal, Stekelenberg roared in his heart and jumped up!

In the flash of light, his outstretched left hand blocked the football from the bottom line!

"Boom! ……”

There was a loud cry of regret at the Soccer City stadium, followed by thunderous applause.

The Spanish national television commentator exclaimed: "Almost! Ramos almost made history! Go Spanish bullfighters! ”

Adal, the commentator of Dutch national television, shouted loudly with palpitations: "Stekelenberg! Great Stekelenberg! He saved Ramos' close-range header to keep it in the back of the net! ”

"Come on! Netherlands! ”

In the command area, Van Marwijk was clearly unhappy with his team's defence, shouting at the players at the back to remind them to focus.

Damn, if we let Spain score early, we'll be in absolute passivity.

On the field, Spain sent a tactical corner kick, Pique crossed with a kick, and Chen Fan, who was standing on the edge of the penalty area, stretched out his right foot to intercept the football!

It's hard to imagine that this is the first time he has touched the ball.

Van der Wiel flew up and cleared the ball with a big kick, and the ball flew near the center circle, and Puyol easily controlled the ball.

Annoyed, Van Marwijk made a calm gesture towards Van der Wiel.

Damn, we finally got the ball down, and you big foot gave it up again......

The commentator of Argentine national TV laughed happily: "Van de Wiel's clearance looks like there is no problem, but it actually exposes the extreme lack of confidence of the Dutch players!" He can completely control the football and pass it to his midfield team-mates to organise the attack.

But he didn't do that, he had only one idea, to move the football to a non-danger zone as soon as possible.

How he didn't trust his teammates! ”

The Dutch midfielder didn't have time to complain about his team-mates, and several players in the midfield immediately rushed to the centre circle to press.

The Dutch midfield's aggressive pressing paid off, with Alonso making a mistake in a pass under Chen Fan's pressure, and the ball was cut off by Sneijder halfway.

Counterattack!

The Dutch frontcourt fired three arrows at once, Sneijder made a slight adjustment, kicked the ball over the top, and the football flew to the left side of the frontcourt!

Long pass and quickly counterattack!

Under the football, Chen Fan and Ramos rushed towards football!

In the middle, Van Persie and Pique are moving quickly towards the penalty area!

On the right, Robben shakes off Capdevilla......

The air in the stadium suddenly became tense!

What is the Netherlands' sharpest attacking routine?

Of course, it is a quick counterattack with long passes, and more than half of their goals are scored through quick counterattacks!
