No. 617: Top of the World!
Johannesburg Football City is like a sea of orange joy, with the vivid red eclipsed.
The Dutch legends in the stands wept with joy as they finally witnessed Dutch football rise to the top of the world and get rid of the title of "uncrowned king".
Since then, the Netherlands has also entered the ranks of world champions and become a member of the Champions Club!
The distant land of Holland went completely insane, and the fans rushed out of their homes and shouted in ecstasy in the streets: "We are the champions!" ”
"Long live Holland!"
The fans who chose to watch the game in the square waved their hands and sang the Dutch national anthem; The choice is that the fans who watch the game at the bar raise their glasses, and they don't get drunk tonight......
It is said that the beer consumed in the Netherlands that night quadrupled compared to usual!
"It's finally happening!"
Cruyff hoisted himself up with trembling hands and staggered to the balcony, where he saw the excited fans in the street and heard cheers.
Sleepless in Spain tonight!
That night, Cruyff, who had always slept poorly, slept very well and had a dream in which he returned to the '74 World Cup final, where he led his brothers to victory over the West German team led by Beckenbauer.
He ended up carrying the captain's armband and lifted the Hercules Cup with his brothers......
Far away in the land of Spain, steeped in disappointment and grief, their team failed to soar to become the eighth world champion.
There were cries, they couldn't accept the fact that they had the advantage in the whole game, but they were not the winners.
It's going to be four years later, and I don't know if the players will be able to bring us ecstasy after four years......
Loss, frustration filled their hearts.
Some fans with an unbalanced mentality, in a huge disappointment, began to smash the shops on the streets, set fire to the cars on the side of the road, and in an instant, the sirens of various cities in Spain sounded......
At the Football City stadium, many Dutch players cried with joy, and the veteran Van Bommel came to Chen Fan, gave him a tight hug, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you!" ”
Chen Fan still can't understand Van Bommel's mood at the moment, even if the Netherlands fails to reach the top tonight, he still has a future.
He can continue to fight with his brothers in the future to compete for the Hercules Cup.
But Van Bommel has no future, this is his last World Cup, and he will regret it for the rest of his life if he cannot reach the top this time.
"Hey, Mark, you should be happy, jump up and laugh!"
Chen Fan laughed happily.
Van Bommel wiped his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and said with a smile: "That's right, now we should be happy, because we are ...... Champion...... Yes! We are the champions! ……”
Van Marwijk hugged each of the players and said, "Thank you!" ”
The experience of the Netherlands at this World Cup has not been as smooth as it has been on the pitch, with a lot going on off the pitch.
He was not played well in the warm-up match against Uruguay, and he was heavily criticized by the Dutch media, and he had to lead the team to South Africa early.
After the start of the World Cup, they won the first game smoothly, but soon after a training session, Van der Vaart brought down Robben, causing Robben to be injured, causing the media to be suspicious.
The conflict within the Dutch team is on the verge of getting out of control, and thanks to the efforts of the core of the team, the Netherlands have temporarily reunited.
In the time that followed, he was engaged in a war of words with Maradona, and he was ridiculed and ridiculed by the Argentine media......
He was delighted that the Dutch had made it to the final on the pitch, but were suddenly told before the game that they had to leave the hotel.
Because the Dutch Football Association did not give them a hotel reservation for the final in advance......
This incident greatly affected the team's preparation, caused fluctuations in the mentality of the players, and then the Dutch media broke out that the owner behind the hotel was German......
The Netherlands and Germany are neighbours, but they are also rivals and rivals in football, and the combination of old and new hatreds means that Dutch players cannot concentrate on the game itself......
The final opponent is the incomparably strong Spanish team, two years ago, the matadors won the European Championship, and in the past two years in various competitions, it is difficult to find a defeat in this World Cup.
The Matador stunned the world by crushing the mighty Germans in the semifinals.
In the face of strong opponents, the team was emotionally unstable, and his confidence began to waver.
The final was a difficult one, and although the Dutch players interrupted Spain's smooth passing with a rude foul as he requested, the Spaniard still controlled the situation on the field with the advantage of overall strength.
De Jong's red card left the Netherlands even more passive, with Sergio Ramos equalising with a header right away......
There is no end of time left in the game, and the game is about to go into extra time.
With one man to play, Van Marwijk doesn't know how long his players will be fit......
At the moment of crisis, Chen Fan stepped forward again and penetrated the gate guarded by Casillas again with an earth-shattering volley, allowing the Netherlands to see the dawn of victory.
Spain is pouring out of the nest to make a last-ditch effort.
Intensive artillery fire was fired at the Dutch goal......
In the midst of the huge passivity, Chen Fan stepped forward again and launched a long pass to quickly counterattack, and Robben scored a goal to expand the score, completely killing the Spaniard's ambition and sealing the win.
It was at that moment that he was able to truly relax.
The World Cup journey is finally over, and he and his players are the biggest winners!
Now he could finally let out a long breath and laugh heartily and comfortably.
Van Marwijk looked at Chen Fan, who was celebrating with his teammates, and the smile in his eyes was even greater.
"Coach, we should have a good laugh!"
He remembered what Chen Fan had just said, and shook his head with a smile.
"Chen, it's hard work, I will definitely find a way not to let you play in the back in the future, you can play as a striker for 90 minutes."
At that time, Chen Fan didn't have any reaction to his words at all, and he didn't know what Chen Fan was thinking in his heart, anyway, he was apologetic in his heart.
……
Xavi is stomping on the turf in pain, Inesta is covering his mouth and his eyes are red, Puyol is comforting Pique who is crying in pain, and Casillas is comforting Torres with tears in his eyes......
Both the comforters and the comforted shed bitter tears, and they became the biggest losers.
The old coach Bosque forcibly suppressed the loss in his heart, and comforted his players one by one, although he failed to defeat the Netherlands to win the championship, but his team showed the world that they are strong.
Who can suppress the Netherlands like we do?
Who will the Netherlands play against and will use the Turtle Tactics?
Who can get Chen to stand in the back position?
If there was anything that didn't go well in this game, it was the defense against Chen, but when you think about it, the players did a very good job.
A free kick into a dead corner, a volley into a dead corner, neither of these goals can be recovered......
Bosque looked up at the sky and looked at the twinkling stars, tears rolling down his cheeks.
