The Chinese team unexpectedly reached the semifinals of the World Cup, and it was not only the Chinese team that was happy, but also another Dutch team that reached the semifinals, because the Dutch team's semi-final opponent was the Chinese team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past few World Cups, teams such as Croatia, Turkey, and Bulgaria have played dark horses, and the teams they lost to have won the final championship. In the past 40 years, the Chinese team can be regarded as the weakest dark horse, the Netherlands who faced them in the semi-finals basically guaranteed the final, facing the winner between Spain, which eliminated Paraguay, and Germany, which eliminated Argentina, the pragmatic and conservative Netherlands finally won the cup is also very likely.

There were no dark horses in the 2006 World Cup, Turkey and South Korea in 2002, Croatia in 1998 and Bulgaria and Sweden in 1994. Further back, Belgium in 1986, Poland in 1982 and 1974, and Uruguay in 1970. Among these teams, the Chinese team in 2010 was the luckiest and the weakest.

This year's Chinese team is the only team in the group stage to lose the quarterfinals, the promotion is largely due to the opponent's lack of attention and Chen Yu's super personal ability, and then the 1 \ / 8 finals against the United States is not strong, not the old powerhouse England, 1 / 4 finals against Uruguay and met the opponent to send oolong, the Chinese team is really lucky. Compared with the previous dark horses, there are almost no lucky teams like the Chinese team, although South Korea in 2002 was also lucky, but they eliminated Italy and Spain more with the help of the referee, and the Chinese team in addition to luck, also relied on the superstar Chen Yu's own strength.

Judging from the opponents defeated, the Chinese team has not defeated a strong team this year, and the only strong team encountered is the German team, which also lost 1:4. Compared with Croatia's 3-0 sweep of Germany in 1998, Bulgaria's 2-1 victory over Germany in 1994, and Poland's 2-1 victory over defending champion Argentina in 1982, this year's Chinese team does not have much of an honorary record except for Chen Yu, who may be the top scorer.

In terms of the strength of the team, the Chinese team, except for Chen Yu, is a group of second- and third-rate players in the world. Most of the previous dark horses have several stars in the formation, even Uruguay has Forlan and Suarez, they are undoubtedly much stronger than the current Chinese team.

In the face of the star-studded Dutch team, especially the conservative utilitarian Dutch team, it is simply the nemesis of the Chinese team, the Chinese team has no chance of winning, but after reaching the semi-finals, the Chinese team has no desire, they just want to enjoy the game now, even Chen Yu said before the game, "We will work hard in the semi-finals, but our hope of winning is really slim, football is not just courage and hard work to win, strength is the foundation, we are much worse than the Netherlands, I just hope that the semi-finals can be played a little more exciting." ”

The Chinese team was soft before the game, but the Dutch team was frightened by the Chinese team's repeated counterattacks, no one dared to say big things before the game, Robben said: "The Chinese team is actually not weak at all, Chen Yu is the first in the world, the Chinese team is tactically opposed, and it is difficult to win them." ”

Sneijder said: "The Chinese team is very difficult and we have to be prepared to fight hard. ”

Chen Yu's teammate Kuyt in Liverpool also repeatedly warned his teammates, "Chen Yu can solve the battle alone, don't confuse the Chinese team with Chen Yu, our opponent is not a fish belly with him." ”

The head coach of the Dutch team, Van Fan. Markwell also seriously warned the players, "The teams that can reach the semi-finals are all strong teams, don't be disturbed by the outside world, I believe that the Chinese team is the belly of the fish has been eliminated, we don't want to be a joke, we want to play this game as a World Cup final." ”

If the Chinese still have a trace of fantasy, seeing that all the players and coaches of the Dutch team attach so much importance to it, the Chinese have no thoughts, this is not a lack of courage and self-confidence, this is self-knowledge, the Netherlands is too strong, but also very utilitarian, and Uruguay like the defense and counterattack, has been playing a whole life of the team suddenly played defensive counterattack, think about how eager they are for the World Cup title, how can they overturn in the gutter of the Chinese team.

Although they know that the Chinese team has little hope of advancing to the finals, there are still countless Chinese fans who flock to Cape Town, which is known as the "Mother of South African Cities", their purpose is not to see the Chinese team reach the final, he wants to witness and create history with the Chinese team.

At half past eight in the evening on July 6, Cape Town time, and at 2:30 a.m. Beijing time on July 7, the World Cup semifinals ushered in the first match, and the Netherlands and Chinese teams met on the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town.

The morale of the orange team was boosted after eliminating Brazil, and the opponent in this game was the weaker Chinese team, and the situation of entering the final was very good, but after the start of the game, the Dutch team played very cautiously, and the fullbacks rarely assisted, even if they were assists, they were also inserted in turns, and rarely flew with both wings.

Under the watchful eyes of nearly 1.1 billion TV viewers and more than 60,000 fans on the spot, the Chinese team put on a defensive counterattack formation, playing without impatience, patiently waiting for the defense, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Although the Dutch team did not invest all the offensive forces, its good awareness, skillful cooperation, and super personal ability allowed four or five people in the Dutch team to turn the Chinese team's defense upside down, so that the back and fullbacks inserted in the back row got a lot of opportunities.

The Dutch team's ability to seize opportunities is not comparable to ordinary teams, 16 minutes, the Netherlands' front court forced the Chinese team to pass the ball, Van Persie broke the ball successfully in the front court, and quickly burst into the penalty area, but Van Persie thought too much, did not shoot directly, and was chased out of the bottom line by Gao Fei.

But a minute later, the Netherlands seized the opportunity, Van Bronckhorst 30 meters away suddenly shot a cold arrow, Zeng Lei flew in a hurry to save, he almost touched the ball, but the angle was too awkward, the ball hit the far post and went into the net, the Netherlands led 1-0.

The strength was weak and the luck was not good, allowing the opponent to hit the post and score a goal, and the fans and players of the Chinese team were a little frustrated.

However, Chen Yu did not want the game to become one-sided, his last game bound to Maradona's consciousness did not cause any sequelae, which made Chen Yu more daring, this time he bound Maradona's consciousness again, and continued to attack the Netherlands.

However, compared with Uruguay, the personal ability and awareness of Dutch players are stronger, even if Maradona's consciousness is bound, Chen Yu cannot do whatever he wants, and under the restrictions of the opponent, he can only threaten the door of the Dutch team through his teammates.

In the 21st minute, the Chinese team played a quick counterattack, Chen Yu was at the front of the penalty area, and the opponent surrounded Qu Bo, and the referee signaled offside, but the replay showed that Qu Bo's position was between millimeters, and it was difficult to define whether it was offside.

Then the Netherlands did not relax their attack, after scoring a goal, the Dutch team's mentality relaxed a little, after all, the Chinese team scored a goal is only an equalizer, and it cannot threaten them, so the attacking nature of the Dutch team played again, and the two fullbacks also began to assist, they hope to score another goal and seal the win.

However, as soon as the Dutch team relaxed a little, Chen Yu made them understand what is the world's No. 1 ability, Chen Yu and Zheng Hua, Han Peng cooperated twice in the midfield, dribbled away Van Bommel and shot angrily at 25 meters, Dutch goalkeeper Stekelenberg could not react, and the ball hung in the corner of the goal.

1:1

China equalised in the 40th minute when Chen Yu scored his seventh goal and almost sealed the top scorer.

However, the Netherlands is the Netherlands, after the Chinese team equalized, they were not in a hurry, but played more cautiously, in the first half of the Chinese team and the Dutch team were not able to score again, the two sides played to a 1:1 draw.

At half-time, the Dutch team replaced De Zeeuw and replaced Van der Vaart to continue to strengthen the attack.

Even if the Dutch team only invests five or six people in the attack, they can still play a variety of offensive routines, and the smooth pass makes the Chinese team's dense defense unguardable.

In the 70th minute, Sneijder shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball hit the defender Duwey, changing the course and entering the net, and the Netherlands led again 2-1.

The Chinese team has not yet come to their senses, the Dutch team suddenly attacked, 3 minutes later, Kuyt crossed from the left wing, Chinese defender Wang Xiao made a mistake, Robben swam to the back and nodded into the dead corner, 3-1 The Netherlands almost sealed the victory.

After three black minutes, it had a great impact on the morale of the Chinese team, and then although the Chinese team attacked, hoping to rewrite the score, the Dutch team defended very well, and their defensive counterattack made the Chinese team taste the bitterness, and fortunately, the Dutch team's desire to score after a two-goal lead was not so strong, otherwise the Chinese team would definitely have to concede more goals.

As time went by, the physical fitness of the Chinese team players declined greatly, and Chen Yu had no power to return to heaven, and finally could only accept the result of a 1:3 loss.

The Chinese team stopped in the semi-finals, but still got warm applause from the fans, in this semi-final, the Chinese team was not as good as others, and finally lost the game, but they did not play badly, and scored a goal, which made the Dutch worry for most of the game, until the last moment Chen Yu's long-range shot made the Dutch team stand up in fright.

In the other semi-final, the king of friendly matches, Spain, finally made a name for themselves, they beat Germany 1-0 and reached the World Cup final in South Africa, because the Netherlands and Spain have not won the World Cup, which means that this World Cup will produce a new king, either the Netherlands or Spain.

The eliminated Chinese team will compete with Germany for the third place, although the three-time World Cup champion German team is certainly not interested in the third place, but the German team's style of play is the nemesis of the Chinese team, even if the German team is substituted, the Chinese team may not be able to win, if Germany eliminates Spain, maybe the Chinese team still has hope, and now the Chinese team may only be able to wash and sleep.
