Chapter 15: The First Half

While the Chinese players were celebrating their goals, the TV was replaying He Ying's shot just now.

Such a wonderful and beautiful goal, of course, it should be played several times so that everyone can watch enough.

Starting from Zheng Zhi's long pass, through multi-angle replays, everyone can see how He Ying ran the position.

He started at the top of the penalty arc at the edge of the box, in the middle.

But after Zheng Zhichang's pass, he immediately moved to the landing point of the ball, but his speed was not very fast, but slowly moved sideways, perhaps for this reason, the Dutch defenders did not notice him at first, and their attention was on this ball quotient.

“...... The Dutch defender made the mistake of marking the ball but not marking people......" Gong Lei analyzed in combination with this scene.

When the football was about to fly over, He Ying suddenly picked up speed, strode to the ribs, and then pulled away horizontally, adjusting his pace while pulling away, and when the football flew over, his pace was also adjusted, and he took advantage of the situation to volley with his left foot. The whole movement is very smooth and natural, the movement looks very stretched, and the force of the shot is of course just right.

"It's a high-quality shot......," Gong Lei exclaimed at the end.

The commentator on the Dutch TV side was also convinced by He Ying's ball: "This ball is really hit, our defenders have nothing to say...... In the face of such a high lob ball, it would be good for many players to be able to stop, let alone such a beautiful direct volley...... It was clear that the Dutch team had taken the lead and the players were a little too carried away...... Such a mistake should not have appeared, but it just did. This is also related to He Ying's personal ability, after all, not just anyone can score such a beautiful goal in this position. He Ying was the second highest scorer after Ibrahimovic last season at Paris Saint-Germain, and he had a very good performance in the quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, scoring twice and scoring a spectacular goal...... This player is not only very fast, but also versatile, and he is not an attacking player who relies solely on speed......"

For the Chinese team, the Dutch commentators are probably most familiar with the players who play in the European league, especially those who have participated in the Champions League.

Louis van Gaal was unhappy with the goal and waved his arms on the sidelines to express his anger at the players on the pitch.

Just one minute ahead, the score was equalised, it was child's play!

The players of the Dutch team were also stunned by the Chinese team's goal, and they never imagined that they would be one minute ahead......

According to the pre-match arrangement, they had to score and then extend their lead. If the Chinese team wants to fight back, then the Dutch team will fight their counterattack, because the Dutch team has a speed maniac like Robben, and I believe that no one in the Chinese team's defense line can keep up with Robben's speed.

If it can lead by two goals, then the Dutch team will be stable in this game, and only Robben's counterattack can make the Chinese team unable to come out of the nest and go all out to equalize. The scene of the Chinese team attacking with all their might and then equalizing in the last game will not be played out in this game.

The result?

As soon as a goal was scored, the Chinese team immediately equalized!

What if it was said that it would not be repeated?

It's really not repeated...... In the last game, the Chinese team started a Jedi counterattack after falling behind by two goals. And this game is simply about you into one and me in one!

The Dutch players, who were confident that they planned to beat the Chinese team and then become the first team to qualify from the group in this World Cup, were stunned by the goal. And with that comes ...... Wrath.

Since the Netherlands swept defending champions Spain 5-1 in the opening game of the World Cup group stage, the Dutch team is now in high spirits, how can they allow a lame Chinese team to run rampant in front of them?

They are all high-level players, and of course they know how powerful and beautiful He Ying's volley is. But it is precisely because of this that the fighting spirit in their hearts has been aroused even more - the Chinese team has shown such a performance, how can we be willing to bow down?

Especially players like Arjen Robben, Robin van Persie and Sneijder.

※※※

After the restart of the game, the Dutch team, which was scored, did not panic to make mistakes, on the contrary, they launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal, as if they wanted to vent all their anger in the Chinese team's goal.

In the 24th minute, Sneijder burst into the box and fired a high-quality long-range shot.

The ball was pressed into the frame of the goal, but Sun Pan also made a high-quality save, and he lifted the ball off the crossbar with one palm.

The Netherlands then won a corner, Sneijder's corner allowed defender Vlaar to head Feng Xiaoting on the edge of the six-yard box, but the ball was deflected.

Two minutes later, the Dutch team made a comeback. This time it was Robben who dribbled the ball in the area he knew best, and then suddenly changed direction and dribbled laterally.

"Luo Ben, this is the way he is most accustomed to attacking, be careful, don't ......," He Ping exclaimed.

Before he could finish speaking, Robben got up and shot at goal.

However, this time, his shot did not threaten Sun Pan's goal, but was blocked by Guo Nu, who had been sticking to him, with his legs.

"Guo Fu! He stuck to Robben! It seems that he was not affected by the goal conceded......"

After Guo Nu got up from the ground, he high-fived Feng Xiaoting beside him and celebrated. Just now he posted it to defend Robben, and Feng Xiaoting will face some risks in the back, and he has to do more to keep the back line from having problems. The two centre-backs have to have such a tacit understanding.

It is also necessary to encourage and echo each other.

Guo Nu and Feng Xiaoting are playing abroad and the other at home, except for national team competitions and training camps, the two basically have no intersection. At this time, some active contact on the field is very important.

※※※

In the face of the Dutch team's aggressive offensive, the Chinese team did not sit back completely passively, and they also took the opportunity to launch some counter-offensives.

In the 31st minute, the Chinese captain passed to the front, He Ying retreated and stopped the football with his chest, then took the ball with his back, and then passed the football back to Yang Muge.

Yang Muge did not stop the ball, but directly passed the football to the right side.

Wu Lei on the right side stopped the ball, and Vlaar hurriedly pressed up. In the face of Vlaar, Wu Lei did not have stage fright, he first sank his left shoulder, and after making a feint to cut inward, he suddenly used his left foot to buckle the football into the penalty area, and then changed direction to accelerate into the penalty area!

"Wu Lei, good job!"

After seeing Wu Lei break through, He Ying also quickly pressed in front of the goal, he did not necessarily want to grab a point in front of the goal, but in this way to compress the back line of the Dutch team, and at the same time create a gap behind him.

Sure enough, Wu Lei chose to cross after breaking through, but instead of passing the football to He Ying, he passed it to the empty space behind He Ying.

The ball slices through the huge vacuum and falls to the back point.

Yan Min, who was keeping up, picked up a kick and shot at the ball!

At the same time, De Guzman, a Dutch player who had returned to the defense, also arrived, and he fell to the ground and shoveled at Yan Min, trying to stop Yan Min's shot.

This kick still affected Yan Min, and he subconsciously wanted to let the football avoid De Guzman's foot, so he was a little stronger and hit high......

"Yan Min...... I want to exert my strength so much......" He Ping's tone was full of endless regret, Wu Lei's breakthrough and passing were very good, and He Ying's involvement and running position were also very good, but Yan Min's last kick was a little bit worse.

Yan Min himself was also very sorry, he punched the turf hard, chattering in his mouth, complaining that he hadn't handled it well just now.

A minute later, Yang Muge entangled Sneijder in the midfield, Zheng Zhi stepped forward and stabbed Sneijder's ball with a clever kick, the Chinese team quickly switched from defense to attack, Zhang Linpeng crossed from the right, He Ying's header was interfered with by De Vrij's close, no force, and the football flew to the goal weakly, posing no threat to Sirison, and was held in his arms.

During this time, although the Dutch team had more offensives, the attacking threat of the Chinese team was greater, and the Chinese team had high morale and a strong edge after the equalizer, even the Dutch team had to be careful when facing their edge.

What about the Dutch team's attack?

Although there were many times, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Chinese team. Everything was like the opening ten minutes, and it was difficult for the Dutch team to get a particularly good shot on goal, and even if they did, it would be sad for Sun Pan's ten fingers.

It was not until the end of the first half that the Chinese team re-contracted its defense under the command of Lippi and tried not to concede any more goals before the end of the first half.

And they succeeded.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the score was 1:1, and the Chinese team and the Dutch team were tied.

Forty-five minutes to go. As long as the Chinese team can hold on for these 45 minutes, they will be able to achieve their pre-match goal.

And then they are one step closer to qualifying from the group!
