The fierce battle on the field was in full swing, and the group of reporters off the field was very lively.

"Chan is becoming more and more like Maradona......"

A reporter sighed: "In the last game, he scored a Maradona-style goal, and this time he sent a Maradona-style wonderful pass." ”

Many reporters nodded their heads repeatedly, and one reporter from Africa asked: "Is this related to the fact that he was shouting with Maradona before?" ”

No one knows the answer.

The Dutch journalist turned his gaze to his Argentine counterpart, wanting to see their expressions and hear what they had to say.

What they saw was expressionless, and what they heard was silence.

I don't know why, at the moment when Chen Fan passed the ball to Van Persie, the Argentine reporter breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Chen Fan would break through again and stage a long-distance attack, and they would be very uncomfortable.

You must know that they have been very silent these days, and Chen Fan's Maradona-style goal makes them not know how to evaluate it.

The Netherlands' quarter-final opponents are Brazil, who are their arch-rivals and they are unlikely to help Brazil in their quest.

So they can only be silent.

At this moment, when they heard the discussion of their peers, they didn't know what to say, so they could only continue to be silent.

……

On the pitch, Brazil took the lead in the battle for midfield, with Melo handing the ball to Alves in front of him on the left with a diagonal pass.

Alves took the ball and teamed up with Bastos, who came up with the assist, to open a gap on the wing.

The Dutch didn't give them a chance, and Bastos had to move the ball to Kaka, who was following up in the middle.

Obviously, the current Kaka is not the same as the previous two years, and the injury has caused his form to slip.

After winning the ball, Kaka could not even get rid of Van Bommel and had to hand the football to Gilberto Silva, who followed on the right.

At this moment, an orange figure struck out like lightning from Gilberto Silva's left rear!

Chen Fan's center of gravity dropped, and he poked the football to the captain Van Bronckhorst with his toes, and Van Bronckhorst took the ball and launched a long counterattack with a big foot.

Van Persie leaps high to beat Lucio, a beautiful header crosses and the ball flies to the right.

Robben cut forward at high speed to control the ball with his chest, and then slashed into the Brazilian penalty area!

The commentator of Brazilian national television said anxiously: "Robben is here again!" ”

Yes, Dutch winger Arjen Robben is here again, and he drove the ball to the Brazilian penalty area, and when he faced Juan's interception, the inside of his right foot suddenly buckled, and the ball changed direction and rolled towards the middle.

Cut in!

"Smack! ……”

Then Robben is a long-range shot!

The ball arcs in the air and flies towards the left side of the goal!

Cesar leaped to his feet and flew towards the ball, but his fingers failed to touch it!

Brazilian fans are desperate and Dutch fans are ready to once again turn the Elizabeth Mandela Bay Stadium into a sea of joy......

At this moment, the football flew out of the baseline by grazing the post.

"Boom! ……”

There was another huge exclamation in the stadium, and some Dutch fans said bitterly: "Robben forgot to bring shooting boots today......"

It was the fourth time Robben had missed a goal in the game.

Robben looked at the Brazilian left post with a blank face, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

The Brazilian national TV commentator shouted: "Dunga has to make tactical adjustments, if the Netherlands are allowed to counterattack like this, sooner or later they will concede goals!" ”

The ESPN commentator said: "The Dutch attack came from Chen's successful tackle at the back, and Chen is becoming more and more like Chen at Arsenal, he has both attack and defense. When the team is on the back, he becomes a defender, and when the team needs to score, he is the cold-blooded killer who kills the team! ”

In the command area, Dunga's face is getting more and more ugly, now the god of luck is indeed on the side of Brazil, but can you be sure that the god of luck will be on the side of Brazil for the whole game?

Go on like this......

He looked at his watch on his wrist and then waved his hand and told the two full-backs to reduce their assists and focus more on defence.

can't break the opponent's goal, but is attacked by the opponent's sneak attack.

Van Marwijk also responded by slowing down the tempo of his side and did not want to concede a goal in the final moments of the first half.

So the situation on the field was deadlocked again.

"With only about eight minutes left in the first half, both coaches made tactical changes to strengthen their defence, and neither of them wanted to concede in those last minutes," said the Milan sports commentator. ”

"This tactical adjustment is undoubtedly the right thing to do, but it makes the scene dull."

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Fabiano took Kaka's through pass and headed towards the Dutch penalty area.

Of course, he was strongly blocked by the Dutch defence, and without the support of his team-mates, he could only shoot from distance.

The soccer ball flies over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

In the 44th minute, the Netherlands returned the favor when Sneijder fired a long-range shot from outside the box and Cesar saved the ball off the line.

There was no one in the final minute of the first half, and no one was able to create a good chance to score, and the first half ended with the referee's whistle blowing at the end of the first half.

The players from both sides returned to the dressing room, and the fans slowly quieted down to recharge their batteries for the second half of the showdown.

The broadcast booth was busy, and the TV stations were busy summing up the first half and looking forward to the second.

The Brazilian national television commentator said: "Obviously, Brazil won a fantastic start, but they couldn't keep that advantage.

Brazil were on the back foot when it came to creating good chances, as well as the number of shots on goal and the number of shots on target.

It's hard to imagine Brazil falling behind their opponents in these key stats, and they have been ahead of their opponents in the past even if they lost.

It's not so much that the Dutch team is too strong, but that this Brazilian team is really not strong.

Kaka is past his prime, who can help the striker create chances?

If it weren't for Melo's pass, Brazil's first half could have been described as terrible, especially with the two flanks.

Chen changed his style and often dribbled the ball in the middle, how should Brazil deal with that?

Van Persie's goal came from Chen dribbling the ball to the middle and then suddenly passing the ball.

Robben hasn't changed much, but he's already cut inside on the flanks three times. If it weren't for his bad luck and Cesar's bravery, he would have scored a goal long ago.

Hopefully Dunga will adjust his tactics in midfield, such a Brazilian team is a scary ......"

The ESPN commentator said: "In terms of possession, there is not much difference between the two sides, with the Netherlands having a slight advantage with 55 per cent possession, but in terms of the number of dangerous shots on goal, the Netherlands far outnumber Brazil.

Chan didn't have any impressive shots on goal, partly because Brazil were very tightly marked against him, and on the other hand, Chan often dropped back into the half to get involved in the defence.

However, his passing was still terrifying, and the equaliser Van Persie scored was the result of his clever pass. He also fed Robben a clever pass, but he couldn't get the ball into the Brazilian goal.

Chen should be more involved in the attack in the second half, and fans all over the world are waiting for his goal! ”
