No. 529: A stunning volley!
Amid a tsunami of cheers from the fans, players from both sides walked onto the pitch.
Chen Fan habitually went to look for the most beautiful shadow in the Dutch wife group.
Like a tulip, Emily stood quietly among the flowers, looking at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan must have given her a bright smile in his heart.
In the VIP box, the senior management of the football associations of the two countries all appeared, of course, they are not the most eye-catching, but the celebrities of the Netherlands are the focus of attention.
Basten, Rijkaard, Seedorf, Davis, Ruud van Nistelrooy......
These figures have all been some of the biggest names in world football.
In the broadcast booth, more than 200 TV stations from various countries around the world are broadcasting the game live.
At the moment, the narrator is explaining.
German national television explained the results of the group stage of the two teams: "The Netherlands won all three games, except for a narrow victory in the last round, they won the first two games, and Slovakia, who reached the World Cup finals for the first time, has a legendary road to qualifying.
They drew 1-1 with New Zealand on their World Cup finals debut, followed by a two-goal defeat at the feet of Paraguay. After two rounds, they finished last in the group, and it stands to reason that they have no chance of making it to the knockout rounds.
But a miracle happened, and they defeated defending champion Italy in the last round of a magical 3-2 victory to advance to the knockout round by finishing second in their group, becoming the biggest dark horse of this World Cup!
Will they be able to continue their magic tonight? Do you continue to play the dark horse?
The competition is about to begin, and the answer is about to be revealed! ”
Spanish national television focuses on the recent results of both teams: "The Netherlands have only conceded three goals in their last seven World Cup games. The Netherlands won all of them in this group stage, increasing their unbeaten record to 22 games!
Since the 0-0 draw with Russia in 2005, Slovakia have scored in each of the 49 games they have played. Slovakia has never played the Netherlands since independence, but Czechoslovakia have won six of their nine meetings, knocking them out 3-0 after extra time in the first round of the 1938 World Cup and beating them in the semi-finals of Euro 1976. ”
……
"Tick! ……”
At four o'clock in the afternoon, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began!
Amid the shouts of the fans, Slovakia took the lead and launched an attack on the Netherlands.
The Netherlands pressed up front, with four attacking players immediately pressing across the half. Slovakia did not entangle with the Dutch players at the back, and soon the football moved to the front.
Kuzka attacked from the right and played the ball down the middle, where striker Vitek leaned on De Jong to keep the ball under control, and then crossed diagonally towards the corner.
Kuzka flew to the kill, directly crossed and the ball flew towards the Dutch penalty area!
Mattheison leaped high and pushed the ball out of the box to defuse the opposition's first attack.
Van Bommel took control of the ball just outside the box, and as he was about to transfer it to Sneijder, another Slovak striker, Jendryšek, decisively brought him down.
The Slovak TV commentator exclaimed: "Yandrišek is doing the right thing, we can't let the Netherlands play a fluid combination or let them play a quick counter-attack. ”
When the Netherlands took a free-kick, the Slovak midfielders returned to their own half in droves, setting up one defence after another.
The Dutch developed their football up front, and in front of the Slovakian defence, they did not rush, but patiently reversed the ball in search of a lethal opportunity.
In the second minute of the first half, Chen Fan touched the ball for the first time, and after receiving a direct pass from De Jong, he faced two defenders of the opposing side and began to dribble the ball to the middle.
The ESPN commentator was surprised and said, "When did Chen change his style?" In the past, when he won the ball on the wing, he usually looked for opportunities to break through on the wing, but now he actually dribbles the ball to the middle? ”
Seeing Chen Fan dribbling the ball to the middle, the two Slovak defenders also felt very strange. However, they are not worried, after all, there are many defenders in the middle, and it is difficult for Chen Fanxiang to make a fuss in the middle.
Where did Chen Fan not know this truth.
He suddenly crossed the ball to Sneijder in the middle, and then immediately turned and slid forward to the left!
Horizontal pass straight into two over one!
Chen Fan suddenly stepped forward to disrupt the Slovak defense for a while, and at this moment, Sneijder directly kicked the ball over the top, and the football flew in front of Chen Fan!
Chen Fan's speed increased suddenly, and after two steps, he threw off the two defenders beside him!
"Boom! ……”
There were exclamations from the stands!
Dutch fans shouted excitedly: "The Flash! ”
"The Flash!"
"The Flash!"
At this moment, they were lamenting that Arsenal fans gave Chen Fan this nickname is simply too appropriate.
There is concern in the eyes of Slovak fans that the Netherlands will not score another lightning goal......
Adar the Dutch national TV commentator said loudly: "Chen! Chen overtook two defenders and he was about to get the ball! ”
The Slovak TV commentator said helplessly: "Speed, speed, Chen's speed is too fast, like a lightning bolt......"
On the field, Chen Fan turned his head and stared at the football flying in the air as he was rushing forward.
Looking at the football that was getting closer and closer to him, he made a decision in an instant!
I saw him take a big step forward with his right foot to stabilize his center of gravity, and his left leg was raised backwards, and then he accelerated violently and whipped forward!
The ESPN commentator exclaimed, "What is he going to do? A direct volley? ”
The Argentine national television commentator scoffed: "Volley? Chen's brain burned out......"
Adar held his head and exclaimed: "No! Chen, you could have handled this ball in a more secure way......"
Commentator Ruud Gullitt had another opinion: "Chen often completed some incredible shots in the Ajax era, maybe he can succeed!" ”
On the left side outside the Slovakian penalty area, Chen Fan's left instep kicked hard in the middle of the back of the football!
The moment the instep touches the football, he pulls upwards!
The ball immediately changed direction and flew towards the top left corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Corner!
The commentator of the Argentine national TV who was still ridiculing Chen Fan a moment ago had fear in his eyes, damn it, how could this be, why does this damn guy have such a strong ability to control?
It was as if he had been slapped in the face!
In the stands, the Dutch celebrities looked at the wonderful arc in the Slovak penalty area in shock, Rijkaard touched Basten next to him and blurted out: "He is now almost the same as you are in your prime!" ”
Where did Basten have time to answer his questions, his eyes fixed on the football.
The Durban Stadium instantly fell into inexplicable tension, and Emil's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange look, her boyfriend just didn't follow the usual path!
Slovakia goalkeeper Muha watched the ball fly like a cannonball towards the top left corner of the goal, and his eyes flashed with desperation.
In desperation, he jumped up to complete the blockade! [.]
