No. 540: Advance to the quarterfinals!
At the Durban Stadium, Van Marwijk began to get Huntelaar ready to play.
Who is he going to replace?
Replace Van Persie, who is not in very good form, or Chen Fan, who is in full form?
Dutch national television commentator Adar was in a very good mood, jokingly: "Van Marwijk should be a change, he has already scored a hat-trick, he can't score again, he has to save his form for the next game." β
Gullitt thought deeply: "That's right, the overall situation has been decided, and in this case, the hero should indeed be replaced to rest." β
The game soon restarted and the Slovak players were on the verge of collapse as they made a series of mispasses and the ball was quickly tackled by the Dutch team.
With a big lead, the Dutch team played more freely, and wonderful passes kept coming.
In the 29th minute of the second half, Sneijder suddenly kicked the ball over the top in the opponent's hinterland, and the ball flew to the left.
Chen Fan shook off Kuzka and advanced at high speed, flew forward to control the football, and the moment he controlled the ball, Pecarik directly put him down.
The referee thought about it and didn't give him a card in the end, after all, he already had a yellow card on him.
At this moment, Huntelaar and the fourth official stood on the sidelines.
The camera footage of the scene shifted to the sidelines, and the fourth official held up the electronic display.
Adal, the narrator of the Dutch national television, exclaimed: "Huntelaar is really replaced by Chen!" β
Gullit jokingly said: "Actually, after Chen scored the second goal, Van Marwijk should have replaced him and let him leave his form for the next game!" β
The ESPN commentator exclaimed: "Van Marwijk is here to let Chen enjoy the hero's treatment in advance!" β
The German national television commentator said: "Today belongs to Chen, he gave us a wonderful goal, a goal that will remain in the hearts of the fans forever!" β
The commentator of the Milan sports station in Italy said: "Argentine fans are undoubtedly the most uncomfortable, they used to be so proud because Maradona scored a goal that shocked the world in the '86 World Cup.
That goal was Argentina's pride!
But from today onwards, this pride does not belong to them alone, and Dutch fans can also raise their heads proudly, because Chen's goal today is on par with Maradona's goal! β
In the stands, almost all the fans began to applaud and applauded.
Slovak fans breathed a sigh of relief that the guy was finally off the pitch......
After Chen Fan hugged his teammates, he walked off the field, and he waved to the fans as he walked.
The NHK commentator exclaimed: "There was thunderous applause, the Dutch fans were thanking Chen for helping their team continue to move forward, and the Slovak fans were thanking Chen for giving three wonderful goals to make this game a classic."
It is conceivable that in the future, this game is bound to become the favorite game of fans! β
The Slovak TV commentator said: "Chen is finally out of the game, he is too much of a threat to the Slovak defense......"
The Argentine national television commentator said: "With the big picture already decided, Van Marwijk replaced Robben and Chen in the back to avoid them getting injured. β
On the court, Chen Fan hugged Huntelaar and walked towards the oncoming Van Marwijk.
The master and apprentice hugged each other tightly.
"Rest well and prepare for the next game."
"Good!"
β¦β¦
Chen Fan took the towel handed over by the assistant coach and sat with Robben, the two looked at each other and laughed happily.
When Chen Fan first entered the Dutch team, the two were still unhappy on the training ground.
At that time, Robben wanted to give Chen Fan a dismount, and took over Chen Fan to prevent him from having no chance to shoot at all.
Now the two of them have long since released their previous suspicions.
can be recognized by Robben, Chen Fan relied on his excellent performance in the game.
On the pitch, the Netherlands still controlled the tempo on the field, but Slovakia changed their previous decline and played a pressing defense.
When it came time to switch from defence to attack, they no longer put a lot of troops behind, and the two full-backs began to boldly step forward to assist.
The ESPN commentator gave his opinion on the change: "When Robben and Chen were on the pitch, the two Slovak full-backs didn't dare to step forward to assist because they were too fast.
As soon as the Netherlands launched a quick counterattack with a long pass, the Slovak defense began to panic. Now the two of them have gone down, and this has freed up the two Slovak full-backs. β
In the 34th minute of the second half, Pecarrick, who was completely blown up by Chen Fan, participated in the attack, and after receiving a pass from Weiss on the side, he quickly advanced along the side.
With a cross five meters from the baseline, the football flies towards the penalty area!
Heitinga, who was in front of him, failed to clear the ball, and the ball flew to the middle!
Vitek, who was ambushed in the penalty area, leaned on Mathieson and pushed the shot, and the football flew towards the right side of the goal!
Stekelenberg, who had not been tested before, was very excited and jumped to save the football from the bottom line!
This is a rare opportunity for him to perform in this game.
Slovakia were back four minutes later, this time attacking from the left, with Dzhabavnik firing in a 45-degree cross that YandriΕ‘ek tipped high under Heitinga's interference.
The soccer ball flies off the line.
Seeing the frequent participation of the two Slovak fullbacks on the field, Robben jokingly said to Chen Fan: "If the two of us are still on the field, where do they dare to participate in the attack so boldly." β
In the 41st minute of the second half, the Netherlands created another good chance to score.
Sneijder's through ball from the hinterland was flicked with the outside of Van Persie's right foot, with his back to the goal, and the ball flew in front of Huntelaar.
Huntelaar flew forward and shot directly, and the ball flew towards the near corner!
It was a beautiful shot that sent Slovak goalkeeper Muja leaping into the air and making a swoop towards the ball.
In the flash of light, the football actually hit the column and popped up the bottom line!
Huntelaar's annoyed look up to the sky was a long howl, due to the presence of Robben and Chen Fan, he had limited playing time, and he wanted to seize this limited time to score.
In the final minutes of the game, the Netherlands won 5-0!
Adar said happily and loudly according to the Dutch national TV commentator: "The game is over, the Netherlands defeated Slovakia by five goals and advanced to the quarterfinals!" β
Commentator Ruud Gullit said: "Thank you to the Dutch players for giving us a great game and five great goals! β
"Congratulations to them for reaching the quarterfinals!"
The commentator of Argentine national television said in a deep voice: "Slovakia is not a strong team after all, and the Dutch victory is expected." As the World Cup progresses, the opponents will get stronger and stronger, and the Netherlands' next opponent is likely to be Brazil, and then their real test will come! β
The commentator for Milan's sports station said: "Slovakia did not continue to play the dark horse, they lost at the feet of the young Dutch team. There is a very important reason why Italy lost at the feet of Slovakia, that is, Italy is too old in this World Cup, and they should replenish fresh blood. β[.]
