Chapter 586: This World Cup is a little uneven
That was the end of the first half, and many were sorry that the Spaniards couldn't take their chances. In fact, the Netherlands dominated the number of threats against goal, despite Spain having 65 per cent of the possession.
By the second half, many people thought that the defending champions would be ashamed, but the rhythm was clearly wrong. At the start of the second half, the Dutch played more aggressively and threateningly.
Spain managed to get their chances, but they couldn't turn them into goals, Diego Costa and his team were still in a state of inactivity, and the Atletico Madrid striker and the Matadors were out of place. If you think about it, you can't blame Diego Costa, because the Atletico Madrid striker is good at defending counter-attacks and acting as a firepower launch point for attacks.
However, Spain's tactics are destined to be the tactics of possession and advancing layer by layer, which is not the same style as Diego Costa, and Xavi, Alonso and David Silva, who are the football control points, all trust their old teammates in the national team, especially the special call between Xavi and Iniesta, Diego Costa's expression and opportunities are naturally less.
By the 53rd minute of the game, the Dutch's threatening shot paid off. On the counter-attack, Sneijder picked out Van Persie, Robinhero took the ball down and then headed it back.
The following Peter Pan Robben shot directly at the goal, Casillas was caught off guard, to be precise, the two world-class central defenders in front of him, Pique and Ramos, failed to block the bullet for him in the first place, and the ball flew into the goal before he could react.
Peter Pan and Robinxia hugged each other, and the two of them reciprocated the favor very well, especially Sneijder behind him. Tulip's front trident is really good, but the Spaniard's top defensive team seems to be more famous.
Dutch coach Louis van Gaal stood on the sidelines and applauded to show his satisfaction with his team.
VAN GAAL KNOWS SPANISH FOOTBALL VERY WELL, HE ONCE COACHED AT THE GIANT BARCELONA, AND HE STILL KNOWS A LOT ABOUT TIKI-TAKA OF THE SPANISH NATIONAL TEAM, WHICH IS BASED ON BARCELONA'S TACTICS.
The Dutch tactician was still very targeted, disrupting the Spaniards' possession with a ferocious full-court press, forcing them to reduce the number of passes they could make, or risk conceding the ball in the wolf-like Dutch press
Then a quick counter-attack was arranged, Robben had this speed and Sneijder also had excellent passing standards, and this is how the ball went in, and as for Van Persie, who headed back to the front, he never came back.
After another five minutes, Bosque couldn't sit still and replaced the in-form Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa with the soul of the former Atletico Madrid, but now he is not very good at the club, and then replaced Real Madrid midfielder Alonso with Barcelona winger Pedro. Now the Spaniards are left with only one back to come from Busquez, and it seems that they are also fighting.
On Torres's substitution decision, many fans are still not very optimistic, because Torres has not been good at Chelsea in recent seasons. After Diego Costa's move to Chelsea was confirmed, the future of the Golden Boy was very uncertain.
"Perhaps Bosque is counting on Torres, the winner in life, to bring good luck to Spain," said the Dutchman's commentator.
After the substitutions, the Spanish team did not look very impressive, Torres was very positive, but his competitive aspect was not used to shoot, but to win the ball all over the field.
Just two minutes after the Spaniard's substitution, the Netherlands scored again!
Van Persie's follow-up with the ball was so easy to get through the gap between Ramos and Pique that Casilla had to come on his own, and he made a downed tackle from just outside the box to stop Van Persie from taking the ball.
But instead of tackling the ball, he tackled Van Persie's calf, and he was also shown a yellow card by the referee as the Netherlands were awarded a free-kick up front.
On the left side of the middle, Sneijder decisively lifted the ball into the box, and Van Persie jumped up to head the ball but met goalkeeper Casillas, neither of whom could grab the football.
However, Dutch defender De Vrij, who was ambushed at the far post, jumped to the top of the ball. Scored the goal, the Dutch team was 3-1 and achieved a big lead!!
De Vrij gave in a penalty, but scored a header to make up for it.
The Spaniards, who were two goals behind, went on a frantic attack, with Torres taking David Silva's pass but deflecting wide.
After Pedro burst on the wing, he tried to cross, but it couldn't be crossed, and the ball was cleared early by Blind.
After squandering a chance, David Silva decided to come on his own. Andres Iniesta's pass was pinpoint in front of David Silva, who followed up with two steps and fired straight at goal.
The Dutch goalkeeper held no resistance and the ball went straight into the net.
But before the Spaniards had time to rejoice, the referee blew the whistle, not for the goal, but for offside, and the linesman had already raised the flag.
David Silva was not convinced, but judging from the slow-motion replay, he was indeed offside. Another two minutes were wasted in this period of time between Spain and the referee's theory.
But it wasn't the Spaniard's nightmare, the real nightmare came in the 73rd minute of the game, when Casillas made a fatal mistake when he stopped the ball too hard and didn't stop the ball.
Van Persie, who came up, decisively seized the opportunity, and then broke the ball and scored the football directly!
After conceding the goal, Casillas's eyes were blank and unbelievable.
What's even more unbelievable is that the Spanish fans, when the time came to the 73rd minute of the game, they were 1-4, three goals behind!
To chase three goals in such a short period of time, even the Spaniards themselves do not believe it, unless a miracle is staged
Although the Spaniards launched a fierce attack themselves in the following time, everyone could see that they were already a little absent-minded, and the players were unstable.
At this time, Bosque did not stand up to stabilize the morale of the army, he was not good at this.
In particular, the two central defenders, Ramos and Pique, also planned to give up defense and participate in the attack at the last minute.
But that gave the Netherlands a bigger chance, and in the 80th minute Arjen Robben burst into the right flank of the goal, cut across and fired a left-footed volley home from 12 yards to extend the score to a safe margin.
In fact, the Spanish defense did pit Casillas in this game and took the fourth goal conceded, Pique saw that Van Persie's distance was so dangerous and chose to pass back
Five to one! The Netherlands sealed the win and started their World Cup journey off to a fantastic start, while defending champions Spain were a nightmare.
It's just that they need to forget about this nightmare soon, because there are still games waiting for them in the future, and although they lost this game, they still have a very good hope of qualifying.
Chile and Australia are not enough to pose a threat to the mighty Spain, provided that Spain adapts as much as they can to come out of the shadow of this defeat.
There is also a highlight match in Group G, which will be played by Germany, who are very favourites in this World Cup, against Portugal.
Both teams are strong teams and the stars are shining at the same time, with Germany focusing on teamwork, while Portugal will obviously have to rely more on Cristiano Ronaldo's individual ability.
But it was such a game that was supposed to be a strong conversation, but the final result was a big surprise.
In the 11th minute, Portugal, who were destined to have a bad temper, received a yellow card, and Pereira brought down Li Zihan's club friend Mesut Ozil while defending and gave Germany a free-kick in front.
Klos' free-kick was linked to his team-mates, and the tall Germans were destined to dominate set-pieces, especially with their back four, with Huverdes, Medsart, Boateng and Hummers all born at centre-back.
Merdesart's header puts the ball on top. Inside the Portuguese box, Thomas Muller followed up with a direct cushion shot from Thomas Muller, who was unable to get his hands on the ball despite stretching out his hands
One to zero, the German tank opened the cornerstone of the door to victory.
In the 32nd minute, Germany were awarded a corner, with Muller and Gotze interfering and Hevedes standing at the near post to meet and Merdessat and Boateng attacking the wall and the goalkeeper.
Kloss took a corner, but the tall men of Boateng, Meudesartt, Muller and Hevedes, who had been active all the time, did not get the ball on the head, but Hummels at the far post received the ball and headed it over. Get in.
At 2-0, the German team had a considerable advantage.
In the thirty-seventh minute of the game, there was a heavy dà incident in the game, which may directly determine the final result of the game.
In a defense, Pepe, the main central defender who plays for Real Madrid, is known as the "warrior monk", brought down Muller, who fell to the ground, spread his hands to the referee to signal the opponent to foul.
But at this time, Pepe ran over and scolded Muller, who was still sitting on the ground, and pointed to Muller's nose, and touched Muller's head with the forehead on the top of his head.
Originally, Pepe thought that this was just a demonstrative defense and action, but Muller didn't care about that, and the "second baby" was sometimes afraid of it.
Muller jumped up directly from the ground and grabbed Pepe's neck by the collar, looking like Lao Tzu was going to fight you desperately.
The players around them were taken aback and came up one after another to pull the two apart.
Pepe, who was pulled away, was a little angry, thinking about it carefully, it has always been him Pepe who took the initiative to stir up trouble, and few people dared to use all the martial arts with his "warrior monk" Pepe.
Without struggling to break away from his teammates' arms, Pepe didn't stop reaching out and kicking the other party. If it weren't for Muller being pulled by a couple of tall centre-backs, maybe he would have really punched the other side.
And the referee not far away happened to witness this scene and blew the whistle!
