Chapter 64: The First Team to Advance to the Finals

"Fan, have you read today's newspaper?"

"Ha, the report written above is really interesting, Fan, you can do it, the two main players in the German team are still your little fans!"

"Since they're your fans, Fan, I have an idea, why don't you call them and develop them into our undercover agents, so that we can be more sure of the semi-finals? Ha, you don't know their number, it doesn't matter, if you want, I can get the number for you. ”

"Come on, don't talk nonsense about what you don't have, if you want me to see, these two guys don't have any good intentions, probably because they want to confuse our attention and make us contemptible, ha, witty as I am, we won't be fooled!"

"Haha, Sergio, just you can! Even if they have any schemes, they won't use them against you! You're not qualified! If you want to fool, you are also fooling our Fan thighs! Ha ha! ”

On the training ground, the players who were resting gathered together to talk and laugh, and some people looked at the latest issue of the sports newspaper, and suddenly there was a burst of shouting, and it was obvious that the teammates who read the report were making fun of Fan Bizhuang.

Fan Bizhuang also read the news in the newspaper, and naturally knew that there were two of his "fans" in the semi-final opponent German team, of course, as for whether they were real fans or fake fans, it was unknown.

However, Fan Bizhuang didn't take it to heart, just when Khedira and Ozil were idle and "talking nonsense" in front of the media, whether it was a real fan or a fake fan, it had nothing to do with him, it was true, it just added two heads to his fan army, even if the other party was also an excellent professional player, it was no different.

If it's fake, the purpose is just to set off smoke bombs and numb yourself...... This is a bit of a underestimation of yourself, you can wear a high hat, but because you will think that you will be careless, then it is estimated that you can only disappoint the other party.

In the face of the ridicule and jokes of his teammates, Fan Bizhuang was not too interested, and after a few words of laughter, he pulled Casillas to the field, ready to do some shooting training.

"Fan, I think what these two guys said is true."

While walking, Casillas suddenly said this, a little clueless, Fan Bizhuang subconsciously "ah", turned his head to look at the other party, and some didn't understand what the other party meant.

"You're two fans of the German team."

Casillas smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You guy, your charm is getting bigger and bigger, not only more and more ordinary fans around the world, but even many very good professional players admire you." Look, I'm the one, and it's normal for other players to respect you. ”

Listening to Casillas's funny words, Fan Bizhuang smiled, nodded, and didn't take it to heart. is still the same sentence, someone likes him and supports him, no matter what the other party's identity is, he treats everyone equally, he is very grateful, and tries to use a better performance not to disappoint the fans.

"Actually, I've heard Gonzalez say before, the club is very interested in those two Germans, maybe next season, they will be teammates with us, so ......" Casillas gave Van Bizhuang a "you know" look.

Fan Bizhuang nodded clearly, it turned out that the other party would transfer to the Bernabeu after the World Cup, which made sense. Although they are "rivals" in South Africa at this time and have to fight to the death, in the club, they will become comrades and fight side by side, so the fight is a fight, but no matter what the outcome, they also want not to affect their future relationship in the club.

Of course, this is just your own speculation, after all, if you think about it this way, you will inevitably feel that the other party is too "snobbish", or is the other party really just thinking that he is very good and likes his own style of play?

What others think, Fan Bizhuang doesn't know, but Fan Bizhuang is slightly distracted, he looked at the energetic Casillas, the club's friend and teammate, at the moment not only full of expectations for the rest of the Spanish team in the World Cup, but also full of expectations for next season's La Liga.

"But next season, I won't be at the Bernabeu......"

Fan Bizhuang suddenly felt guilty, and he opened his mouth to tell Casillas what was in his heart, but in the end, he chose to remain silent.

"Fan, Fan? What are you thinking? ”

Seeing that Fan Bizhuang was stunned, Casillas called out a few words in a puzzled voice, Fan Bizhuang turned his head, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Igor." I'm thinking about the next game against Germany, oh, and the final after that......"

"Huh, the final? We haven't even played the semi-finals yet! Casillas smiled, patted Fan Bizhuang on the shoulder again, and said excitedly, "But what you said is also good, ha, there is nothing wrong with this kind of spirit, if you have confidence, we will have confidence, what is the German team?" What are the semi-finals? Not only do we want to reach the finals, we also want to win the Hercules Cup and make history! ”

Casillas laughed and walked towards the goal, turning to put on gloves, Fan Bizhuang looked at his excited friend and shook his head slightly.

"I'm sorry, Igor."

It's July 6, the day of the World Cup semi-finals in South Africa.

There is only one match on this day, and that is the duel between the Netherlands, the land of tulips, and Uruguay, a South American powerhouse. Spain's match against Germany will not be played until tomorrow.

Before the game, the Netherlands were favored by most fans and media, believing that they would easily eliminate the Uruguayan team and stand in the final of the World Cup after 32 years after the 1978 World Cup in Argentina.

But in fact, the process of the game is extremely difficult, Uruguay can go all the way to the semi-finals, perhaps because the opponent is not too strong, but their strength is very good, this game, they let the world see the charm of Uruguayan football, but also set up a strong resistance to the Dutch team.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, the Dutch took the initiative and their goal came early, and in the 18th minute, Dutch captain Van Bommel scored with a stunning long-range shot.

Spurred on by the goal lead, the Dutch team attacked more and more fiercely, but could not extend the score. On the contrary, before the end of the first half, Diego, a super scorer who played for Atletico Madrid and won the La Liga Golden Boot. Forlan, who also hit the goal with a heavy shot on the counter-attack, helped Uruguay equalise.

The two teams returned to the same starting line.

The two teams were tied 1-1 in the first half, and after the second half changed sides, the two teams continued to fight on the field.

The Dutch team attacked vigorously, while Uruguay did not play conservatively, and the delicate foot skills and passing coordination of the South American players were vividly displayed by the Uruguayan players, and the two played extremely close on the field, and the scene was extremely exciting.

However, the Dutch team was still superior, and in the 73rd minute, Van Persie assisted Sneijder to score a goal, and the Dutch team exceeded the score again.

The goal was actually suspected of offside, Van Persie returned the pass in an offside position, and the referee did not notice this, although the Uruguayan players strongly protested, but the referee ignored it and had to suffer the dumb loss.

In the next few minutes, like a wounded lion, the Dutch team attacked the Dutch team in the half, and the Dutch team was stunned by such a fierce attack, which actually allowed the Uruguayan team to gradually occupy the upper hand of the game.

In the 80th minute, Uruguay equalized again, and Pereira, a midfielder who plays for Porto in the Portuguese Super League, received a free kick from his teammates and raised his foot on the penalty line, and the football broke through Stekelenberg's ten fingers.

The score became 2:2, and the two teams returned to the same running line for the second time in the game.

At this point, the tension and intensity of the game exceeded all expectations, and Uruguay's tenacity and never-give-up attitude against the significantly better Dutch team won the respect of all the fans in the stadium.

For the Dutch team, the difficulty of the game, as well as the opponent's perseverance, have caused them great trouble, fortunately, the Dutch team did not let Uruguay drag the game into extra time, the highly skilled Dutch team scored again in the 85th minute, Liverpool "model worker" Kuyt on the left side of the ball, Uruguayan central defender Godin made a major mistake of negligence, Robben in the penalty area was completely empty, Robben jumped high, with a header he is not good at, and rarely used in the game, Putting the ball in Uruguay's door for the third time.

It was a decisive goal, as the Dutch took the lead for the third time in the game, and it was at the end of the game, the first two times they let their efforts go down the drain, but this time, the morale of the Dutch team was so high that they would not let the chance of reaching the final slip away from them.

Uruguay, on the other hand, had a bit of a frustration of not being able to recover, and they worked hard enough throughout the game that they would not be completely desperate even if they were down for the third time. However, time was running out for them to equalise, and in the ensuing period, Uruguay launched a Jedi counterattack, but they were unable to find another goal in front of a united Dutch team.

However, the tenacious Uruguayan team still won the respect of the fans as well as the opponents, the Netherlands.

The first team to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa has also been born, defeating Uruguay 3:2, and the Dutch team finally reached the World Cup final again after 32 years!
