1203 Defeated

The atmosphere in the stands at the Durban Stadium was more enthusiastic than the previous one, after all, the Chinese fans were still relatively more conservative in their thinking and behavior, while the Dutch fans have always been known for their enthusiasm, and the orange color is more vibrant.

"CCTV, CCTV, this is the scene of the World Cup in South Africa, I am Duan Xuan, the commentator of the live match, and I am here to broadcast the second game of the group stage of the World Cup for the Chinese team live, and our opponent is the Netherlands, a strong team from Europe.

Now the Chinese team is the first place in the group, scoring one more goal than the Dutch team, if there is no draw in today's game, then the Chinese team and the Dutch team will have a team to advance to the knockout stage.

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

The Chinese team started 4411.

Goalkeeper: Yang Zhi.

Defenders: Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Feng Xiaoting, Sun Xiang.

Midfielders: Zhao Junzhe, Zheng Zhi, Liu Yi, Huang Bowen.

Forwards: Qin Xiong, Han Peng.

Compared to the starting lineup in the previous game, Alihan made a personnel change today.

Zhang Pengfei sat on the bench, and Huang Bowen started, apparently to strengthen the defense of the midfield.

This also has to do with the fact that the Dutch team has always been known for attacking.

The Netherlands started today with 4231.

Goalkeeper: Stekelenburg.

Defenders: Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Mathiesen, Van Bronckhorst.

Midfielders: Kuyt, Van Bommel, Van der Vaart, De Jong, Sneijder.

Forward: Robin van Persie.

The good news is that the Netherlands main player Arjen Robben is out due to injury, but the Dutch team is still strong, so let's see how the two teams will play in the game. China. Come on! ”

From the first minute of the game. Qin Xiong felt very awkward.

On the surface, it looks like a game against the Dutch, but it's more like a game against a basket of former team-mates.

Stekelenberg, Heitinga, Kuyt, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, De Jong, Van Persie

He was completely contained.

In defense. Van Bommel, Kuyt, and Van der Wiel will block Qin Xiong in the left half of the midfield, and if Qin Xiong goes to the midfield, he will face two midfielders plus Van der Vaart.

The most important thing is that the Dutch team has super individual technical ability, and they can play extreme pressing, leaving the Chinese team at a loss, and almost unable to play a smooth offensive when switching between attack and defense.

The extreme anti-counterattack that the Chinese team was able to play in the last game did not play any role at all in today's game!

The fundamental reason is that it is not good in the transition between attack and defense.

The midfielders are all on the defensive, and due to the aggressiveness of the Dutch team, it is difficult to get good counter-attacking opportunities after defending.

Another reason is that Van Marwijk's Dutch team can be said to be the opposite of the traditional Dutch style!

The factor that Van Marwijk injected into the Dutch team was utilitarian!

He's more defensive. It's better to sacrifice offense than to defend well.

This is also the reason why Qin Xiong is difficult to perform by the key blockade.

Half an hour before the game, Qin Xiong barely touched the ball.

He began to drop back aggressively to gain possession.

But he alone or Han Peng. Whether it was an individual long-distance run or a two-person passing and cutting cooperation, they were all sniped by the Dutch team.

This made Qin Xiong feel a sense of helplessness that the sky should not be called the earth.

There is no way, the overall strength gap between the Chinese team and the Dutch team is too big!

To fall behind in all directions is to be suppressed by the opponent and have no power to fight back.

Van Marwijk watched the game from the sidelines, with everything under Dutch control.

In the 37th minute, Sneijder and Van der Vaart switched positions to the middle, and after a one-two with Van der Vaart, he suddenly slashed the ball into the box, and Van Persie squeezed forward smartly to get a chance to shoot, and he volleyed the ball into the inside of the near post.

The ball was so powerful that Yang Zhi was powerless even if he tried his best to block the near corner of the goal.

"The Dutch team has scored, which is bad news, but we must admit that from the beginning of the game, the huge difference in strength between the two teams was vividly reflected on the field, and the Dutch team as a whole was far superior to the Chinese team in terms of passing and individual breakthroughs."

Robin van Persie's goal allowed the Netherlands to face the game with more composure.

They started attacking without rushing forward, creating long-range opportunities for their teammates on the periphery.

The likes of Sneijder and Van der Vaart are both good long-range shooters.

They have always bombarded the Chinese team indiscriminately, making it difficult for the Chinese team to breathe.

After the end of the first half, the Chinese team returned to the locker room, the atmosphere was very depressing, everyone was tired and out of breath, but they could not reverse the suppressed passive situation on the field.

Alihan calmed everyone's mood, put their mentality right, and faced the game positively.

In the second half of the game, Qin Xiong received the ball in the midfield every time, and then pushed forward the offensive in the form of individual breakthroughs.

He can get past Kuyt, he can get past Van Bommel and sometimes he can get past De Jong, but for him to clean up the Dutch defence one after another, it can't be!

Due to the small number of Chinese attackers, the Dutch defenders at the back can defend against Qin Xiong and Han Peng together.

This made Qin Xiong repeatedly drowned in the defense of the Dutch team.

In the 69th minute of the game, Kuyt received a pass from Sneijder on the line of the inside penalty area, he did not cross, but passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area, where Van der Vaart met the ball and volleyed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!

The orange wave in the stands of the Durban Stadium was particularly eye-catching, and the cheers of the Dutch fans echoed through the stadium.

"It's 2:0, Van der Vaart's goal can be said to make the Chinese team's hope of even equalizing very slim.

So far, China has only had three shots on goal and none of them hit the goal.

Even if we have a world superstar like the Qin team, it is difficult for the Chinese team to get good offensive opportunities in the face of the Dutch team, which has excellent offense and defense.

Alihan seems at a loss, and we can see that the Chinese team has tried their best in this game! ”

When the Netherlands scored their second goal, they began to focus on controlling the game and keeping the tempo down.

In this way, the Chinese team has no chance.

Because considering that in addition to the points in the group qualification rules, the next step is the goal difference advantage.

In the first game, the Chinese team got 3 goal difference.

Falling behind 0:2 in this game means that the goal difference has become 1.

The other match, Cameroon vs Denmark, will be played at a later date.

If the winner of the next game is decided, the Chinese team will be equal with the other opponent, and the goal difference advantage will become extremely important.

So when the Dutch team contracted the defensive line and lowered the rhythm, the Chinese team did not dare to rush out to rush out and rush wildly.

The fear of conceding more goals will lead to zero goal difference or a negative number, that's bad. (To be continued.) )
