Chapter 90: The Perfect Half (Part II)
"Oooh, Van has once again managed to break through the defense of Dutch captain Van Bommel! This is a very cruel fact, the Dutch team is most relied on this point, completely unable to stop the footsteps of Fan, Van Bommel is about to be blown up by Fan! ”
"Nice dodge! Van was on the right side of the penalty line with the ball and did he want to shoot straight at goal? …… Beautiful, and another imaginative pick, Villa followed up with a volley...... Stekelenberg makes a flying save...... Once again, the Dutch veteran saved the fate of the Orange! ”
'Alonso rushed up from behind, got up and shot – oh, Stekelenburg held the ball firmly under him, he was perfectly fine, a good save!'
"Van was once again on the wing, and he was very active today, of course, he was also active in the past, but today he continued to use his breakthroughs and passes to create scoring opportunities for his teammates...... Cross! Sergio. Ramos jumped up and flicked his head at goal, and Stekelenburg made a world-class save...... We have to admit that this time the performance of the Dutch goalkeeper was impeccable, but now the overall situation of the Dutch team is not very good, even the defenders can rush up to complete the shot, it is conceivable that if the Dutch team does not change in the slightest, maybe they will not hold out until the end of the first half, and the goal will be lost again! ”
As time goes by, the Spanish team's dominance on the field is becoming more and more obvious, the Dutch team may have come out of the blow of conceding the goal, but the momentum of the Spanish team has been completely played, the orange team has tried to launch a few counterattacks, but the opponent with a more ferocious and violent attack, beaten back, can only shrink back to the defense.
Rao is Stekelenberg's "super-god" play, helping the Dutch team not to concede goals again, but in such a situation, no one is optimistic about the Dutch team, their goal is in jeopardy, as the commentator said, if they are lucky, they can not concede goals before the end of the first half, and if they are unlucky, then ...... The results are clear.
And to the pain of tens of thousands of Dutch fans at the scene and countless Dutch fans waiting by the TV and computer, the scene they least wanted to see still happened.
In the 44th minute of the first half, just a minute before the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half, the Dutch team's hard work was already in sight, but it was at this time that Spain's pervasive infiltration attack was like mercury pouring into the ground, and finally tore their defence to shreds again.
Fan Bizhuang instigated an offensive in the middle, facing the joint siege of Van Bommel and De Jong, Fan Bizhuang turned his back to protect the ball, but it was a clever heel knock, the ball unexpectedly passed between De Jong's legs, Iniesta flickered, the ball went away, and then quickly transferred the ball to the left side of the penalty area before the defender made up for it.
The Dutch defense collapsed at this moment, Villa was unguarded on the side, and Mathieson, who was closest to him, half-jumped in panic to block it, but it was still a step too late, Villa met the ball and shot, and the football drew a semicircle in the air, bypassing Stekelenberg, who fell to the ground, and accurately fell into the far goal.
2:0!
With a simple combination and a few quick passes, the Spanish team penetrated the Dutch team's defense, and finally Villa hit a fatal blow, helping the team to score another point and expand the lead!
The football stadium was boiling again, the Spanish fans sang and danced wildly, and some people directly waved their arms and shouted "We are the champions!" On the other side, the camp of the Dutch team fans was silent, and many fans with painful expressions were covering their cheeks and crying.
The whole stadium was a mixture of cheerful and mournful sounds, but it was undoubtedly extremely noisy, on the field where there was noise coming from all sides, Villa excitedly took off his jersey, clutched it in his hands, ran wildly, and roared, the fans responded to him with the most enthusiastic cheers, and behind him, his teammates also ran and shouted with his excitement.
There is no more exciting moment than this, and perhaps before the game, no player could have imagined that they would play so well in the final, but before half-time they were already two goals ahead, which means that they are getting closer and closer to the coveted Hercules Cup.
With at least half time to go, it's too early to say whether the game will be won or lost, but there is no doubt that the Spanish team is the closest to winning the championship and the trophy!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The ball is in! The ball is in again! This one goal came from ...... David...... Villa! It was Andres who assisted him. Iniesta! The performance of the Barcelona midfielder in the first half was undoubtedly fantastic, a goal, an assist, if the Spanish team can finally win the championship, then Xiaobai will undoubtedly be the biggest contributor to Spain winning the trophy! ”
"Of course, we can't ignore the efforts of other players, Fan's instigation, Xavi, Alonso...... All of them worked hard for this score! They are showing the world what they can do as a team, having gone through the grind from the group stage to the knockout rounds, and now this Spain team is undoubtedly united and equally ...... Extremely powerful! ”
“2:0! Spain have a two-goal lead and it was a fantastic first half for them! ”
The Dutch players stood in a daze, and some fans in orange were covering their faces and crying...... For them, it was also a big game and an opportunity to make history, but now ...... The Dutch team had a nightmare first half and now, they are on the edge of a cliff! The Orange Shirts, is there still a chance? ”
There are commentators cheering and screaming for Spain's re-goal, while others are lamenting the hurt Netherlands. This first half, this score, they were never expected before the game, the Spanish team and the Dutch team are both traditional giants in Europe, maybe the Spanish team in recent years in the competition results is much better than the orange team, but no one will underestimate the Dutch team, this is a team with many superstars, but also full of desire for victory and championships.
According to expectations, this should be a close matchup, in the first half of the first half, it was indeed the case, but who would have expected that the second half of the situation changed abruptly, the Spanish team was like eating "Viagra", the violentness was amazing, two goals in a row, almost defeated the Dutch team!
Some commentators have been puzzled by the reasons for this, and can only attribute the Dutch team's successive goals to themselves - after the first goal, their mentality changed, and it was the gradual increase in anxiety and disorder that led to the Spanish team's increasing fighting spirit, which led to the second goal.
There was also a reflection of the dominant players in the game's change - after Van Bizhuang was fully active, the Dutch team became scrambling, especially with Van Bommel and De Jong being dragged down, and the Dutch team lost the biggest and most solid barrier, allowing their defence to be directly under the Spanish team's attacking guns.
'Although the lack of goals was a disappointment for many who were expecting a lot, it has to be admitted that Van played well to keep the Netherlands at bay and create more scoring opportunities for his team.
"Fan, he's still dominating the game with his unparalleled power!"
There is a commentator who suddenly realized, such a sigh of amazement.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The whistle finally blew at half-time, and referee Webb didn't even give even a second of stoppage time before stopping the game.
He can be regarded as "taking care" of the Dutch team, two major blows to conceding goals in a row, the spirit of the Dutch team is a little unrefreshed, if you face Spain in this sluggish state, maybe you will lose the ball.
Anyway, the regular game time was over, and Webb was happy to be a good person, so he chose not to make stoppage time for the first half.
The Spanish team is not good or not, with a two-ball lead in their hands, which makes every player elated, talking and laughing with his eyebrows dancing and relaxed when he leaves the field.
They did have reason to be at ease, and the game went so smoothly that, in Ramos' words, he didn't sweat before his opponent collapsed.
That's an exaggeration, at least in the first half of the game, and he and a couple of partners at the back were under a lot of pressure. But with the powerful attacking group in the Spanish front court suppressing the opponent to retreat, they really have a feeling of "idleness" - the description of idleness is a bit wrong, it should be not a proper job, and these defenders are also frequently pressed to participate in the attack, incarnated as offensive players.
Ramos's remarks were a bit amused, and everyone laughed heartily on their shoulders as they walked towards the players' tunnel. And all the way, all the way was cheers and applause from the fans.
On the other side, the Dutch team fled back into the passage like a defeated rooster. This half of the court was like a nightmare, so that they who were full of ambition before the game were pushed to the ground by the cruel reality, and they felt a little oppressive that they couldn't breathe.
"The two teams are in very different shapes, with confidence and fighting spirit on one side and ...... on the other Dejected, as if he had lost the will to continue fighting! ”
'That's the big impact of the second goal, and if the Netherlands can hold on at the end and get into the dressing room by just one goal, they will have more options to make adjustments at half-time, but alas...... Alas, the Dutch team, really dangerous! ”
"In a match like the World Cup final, the difference between the two goals is already huge, the Netherlands are already on the edge of the precipice, and the Spanish team, they are only one step away from winning the first World Cup trophy in the history of football in the Iberian Peninsula!"
