Chapter 585: Tragedy and Beautiful Fish Leaping Dragon Gate

In any case, the hosts Brazil won their first win of the World Cup, taking a small step towards crowning themselves on home soil.

After the game, Brazil's poor players were heavily criticized, and the first to bear the brunt was Marcelo, who scored the first goal of this World Cup, and this own goal directly made him a record in this World Cup.

There are also center forwards Ruo, Fred and Hulk who came off the bench, their appearance is not good, strictly speaking, very poor, especially Fred in the number nine shirt.

Everyone thinks that Fred is the defiled No. 9 jersey of the sacred Samba Army, Tostang, Reinaldo, Carreca, Ronaldo are all amazing superstars, and even Fabiano in the last World Cup is still good, but this time Fred

When people criticized Brazil, it was naturally Croatia's turn, and Manjoo did not score a goal. Kicic was the first to be criticized, followed by centre-back Lovren. Lovren, who plays for Southampton, did not show his club watch in Croatia and was almost nowhere to be found, except for a few clearances and early stages.

The World Cup is a feast for football, and this kind of criticism will naturally not last long now, because there are still many exciting games going on, and we have to wait until the end to take stock.

In the other match of Group A, the American powerhouse Mexico won 1-0 against the African Cheetah Cameroon team, and now this Cameroon team is average, except for Eto'o, who is already old and has confirmed a free transfer from Chelsea to Everton, there are really no decent big stars. Well, maybe Alexander Song, a midfielder who plays for the giants Barcelona, is one of them, despite the fact that he has very little playing time at Barcelona. There is also the French giants Marseille's central defender Nkoulu is also not bad, but considering that he plays in Ligue 1 and has no outstanding results in the Champions League, Marseille As for the defender El Matip who plays for Schalke 04, under the highlight of Schalke captain Hevedes, he really can't see much of his light.

Mexico's former Arsenal striker Carlos Vela was not selected for the Mexico squad due to conflicts with the manager, and Manchester United striker's "Little Pea" Hernandez naturally carried the banner of Mexico.

Of course, this game is not the focus, there are three focus games in the group stage played in the past two days, which are divided according to the fame and strength of the two sides.

The most interesting thing is naturally in Group B, where the defending champions, the Matadors, Spain, who won both the last World Cup and the European Championships, take on the Netherlands, who are known as the reigning kings.

This is a contest between the winners and runners-up of the previous edition, and the last World Cup final was played out directly in the group stage this time.

Spain and the Netherlands are some of the favourites at this World Cup, and defending champions Spain are naturally full of talent, especially in midfield. Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Alonso are aged, but Cesc Fabregas, Cazorla, Busquez, Martinez, Thiago and David Silva, as well as Madrid's rising midfielder Koke and Manchester City's outstanding winger Keylor Navas, are in their prime and are excellent at their respective clubs.

At the same time, in the forward line, David Villa and Fernando Torres are no longer the heroes of the past, but now there are good centre-forwards such as Negredo and Soldado, as well as the Basque warrior Llorente at Juventus.

Of course, that's not the point, the focus is on Atletico Madrid's striker Diego Costa!! Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa was originally Brazilian, but he never played for Brazil. It's no surprise that not many people knew Diego Costa that much before he broke out this season, which meant that he was unknown before.

At the same time, there are too many talents in the Brazilian team, and many excellent players cannot play for the Brazilian team, and the most classic case is Portugal's midfielder Deco.

Before the game, Brazil fans were calling for Scolari to recruit Diego Costa into the Brazilian squad, and Scolari did the same.

However, Spain coach Bosque and Scolari prevailed in the competition, with the Matadors at the helm convincing Diego Costa to let him play for Spain, and Diego Costa himself met the conditions for the Spanish household register.

So Diego Costa changed his door and decided to appear on the World Cup stage wearing the red jersey of the Matadors.

As for the Dutch team, Robin Van Persie is average at Manchester United this season, but he is an indispensable striker in the Dutch team, and Bayern Munich's wide fast Marben has also played well in the past two seasons, plus a midfield core Sneijder, the front trident of the Dutch team also tests the Spaniards' backfield defense.

It was supposed to be a close game, but perhaps the specific plot among Spanish fans would have been 90 minutes of hearty and ups and downs, and it was the Spanish team that won in the end

But football is so beautiful that no one can imagine what the outcome will be until the game is over.

Five-to-one!!

It's a shocking scoreline, which is a huge score in a normal football game, but on a stage like the World Cup, it can be a record for this great competition.

But such an outrageous score happened, and it was unbelievable that it happened in the match between the Netherlands and Spain, two absolute powerhouses, as well as the champions and runners-up of the last World Cup.

Diego Costa looked out of place with the whole Spanish team from the beginning of the game, and just when everyone thought that Spain was going to be pitted by Diego Costa, Diego Costa used a breakthrough to score a penalty. De Guzman was fouled and he brought down Diego Costa in the box.

The Dutch team naturally did not do it, and they went up to the referee to theorize, although the audience at the scene and in front of the TV also felt that the penalty was a little far-fetched after watching a few slow-motion replays, because Diego Costa fell so decisively, and De Guzman's movements could not have brought down such a muscular footballer so easily.

However, this did not change the referee's decision, and the Spanish team still won the precious penalty.

De Guzman was fouled in the 27th minute and awarded a penalty to the Matadors, who himself was saddled with a yellow card. However, it was already 29 minutes when Alonso went to take the penalty, which meant that the Dutch team spent two minutes talking to the referee

In the end, Alonso lived up to expectations and converted the penalty, and Spain took the lead in this powerful conversation.

But the next game came with a shocking reversal, beyond everyone's imagination.

IT'S NO SECRET THAT SPAIN'S TIKI-TAKA POSSESSION TACTICS ARE PARTICULARLY GOOD AT PLAYING DOWNWIND, AND EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT DISASTER WAS COMING FOR THE DUTCH TEAM.

Especially in the next 20 minutes, Spain did have the upper hand, with a terrifying 72 per cent possession, while De Vrij of the Netherlands also received a yellow card in the 41st minute.

However, in the 44th minute of the game, when the fourth official was about to raise his card to reveal the first-half stoppage time, Robinhood put on a brilliant performance.

Spain's attack didn't work well under the Dutch defence, but the veteran Sneijder seized his chance, receiving a pass from Blind and sending it straight to Arjen Robben on the wing.

Peter Pan quickly turned, then directly past Alonso, and then used his speed to rush directly away from Xavi, who was following him.

Busquez knew that Robben was powerful, he followed to grab it, and at this time Robben made a feint to accelerate the sideline sprint, but suddenly pulled the ball down to the right, and he took the inside line to sprint directly to the Spanish penalty area.

Buskes could only follow Robben helplessly, but he was no match for Peter Pan in terms of speed, and he didn't even have a chance to make a tactical foul.

Robinhero Van Persie in the middle also immediately followed up in the middle, and Robben's shiny bald head seemed to be a bright light shining on the road ahead.

Robben cut inside laterally, which gave the Spanish centre-back Real Madrid's second captain Ramos the wrong judgement, who thought Robben was going to make his name for cutting inside laterally and then suddenly shooting with his feet.

But Robben seized the time difference on the counter-attack and passed the ball out.

Barcelona's home defender Pique watched the football fly towards him, and he immediately predicted the landing point, but at this time he saw Van Persie behind him, and reflexively stretched out his arm - offside!!

But the linesman who followed did not say anything at all, and still ran with Van Persie.

Pique broke out in a cold sweat, and at this time he didn't think about whether the linesman had misjudged, but ran directly towards Van Persie.

Pique reached out and wanted to grab Van Persie directly and interfere with the opponent. But Van Persie was on the way forward and he was facing the goal.

Then in the air he swooped sideways in mid-air when he met the football, almost a physical reflex, and he pressed his forehead forward, right on the ball.

The ball flew towards the goal in the penalty area and his body began to fall.

The captain of the Spanish team, the double captain of the Matadors and Real Madrid, and the anchor of the sea god Casillas, wanted to go out to grab the ball, but saw Van Persie push the ball in such an incredible way.

Casillas wanted to jump, but his judgment told him that he couldn't reach it, and he immediately turned back and ran towards the six-yard box and the goal.

But where did his legs run a flying football? The ball flew into the net before him, and Casillas could only plant it into the net with the football.

Van Persie, who fell to the ground, did not pay attention to the smell of the dirt in his mouth, but first raised his head buried in the grass and stared at the goal in front of him.

When he saw the football in the goal, Van Persie jumped to his feet!!

"Pretty Fish Leaping Dragon Gate!!! Robin van Persie!!! He equalised for the uncrowned Tulip Legion, the Netherlands!! ”
