At half-time, Lippi praised his team's performance in the first half and then asked them to continue to play like this. When defending, you have to concentrate and not let up for a second. And when it comes to counterattacking, be resolute and decisive.

Of course, this is physically demanding on the players. The team's physiotherapists also took the time to massage the players at half-time to relax their muscles and reduce their fatigue levels.

“...... There are still 45 minutes left, put aside all distractions, don't think about what will happen after that, and play these 45 minutes well. As long as the game is not over, the battle is not over. Before the game, Lippi said to the Chinese players.

On the other hand, Van Gaal was very unhappy with his team's performance in the first half, believing that the team was too carried away after the goal and did not concentrate enough to be scored by the Chinese team.

"It's a shame! the goal was conceded not because they played so well, but because you played so badly!" Van Gaal yelled.

Every player of the Dutch team was scolded by him and couldn't hold his head up.

"You can't do that again in the second half, or you'll be laughing stock!"

※※※

Before the start of the second half, the Dutch team took the lead in making substitutions, Van Gaal replaced defender Indy with a young teenager Depay in Memphis, the young Depay is only 20 years old this year, and the talented attacker who has emerged in the Dutch league, Van Gaal is clearly hoping to use this substitution to strengthen the quality of the Dutch team's attack.

The second half was re-contested by both sides and the Dutch did show their belief in victory.

They took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to attack the Chinese team's goal.

On the edge of the box, Sneijder struck a through ball and Van Persie slotted in diagonally into the box, ready to receive the ball and shoot.

However, Guo Nu started one step ahead of him and got stuck in front of him, and Van Persie was in a hurry, pushing Guo Nu to the ground, and then grabbed the football.

However, at this time, the referee's whistle also sounded, although Van Persie still completed the shot, but at this time, even the goal was invalid, not to mention that Sun Pan did not give the Dutch team the slightest chance to get lucky, he blocked Van Persie's shot.

"Van Persie pushed for a foul and the referee made the right decision...... "He Ping said.

Zheng Zhi and Yang Muge found the referee, hoping that he could show Van Persie a yellow card, because Van Persie still has a kicking action after the whistle, according to FIFA rules, no player is allowed to touch the ball again, and if he touches the ball, he will be given a card.

However, the rules are dead, and the person who masters the rules is alive, so whether it is necessary to give cards depends on what the referee who enforced the law at that time thinks. If he doesn't think it's necessary, he can also leave it untapped.

This time, the referee on duty, Haimundi from Algeria, chose not to give a card.

No matter how Zheng Zhi and Yang Muge persuaded them, Hai Mengdi didn't take out the cards.

However, Van Persie did not escape the yellow card, and two minutes later, the Netherlands won a throw-in on the right flank, Robben threw the ball in the direction of the baseline, and Van Persie stepped forward to receive the ball. Guo Nu stuck it again, and the two had physical contact, and then Van Persie's arm was raised back and hit Guo Nu's face, and Guo Nu immediately covered his face and fell to the ground.

Then the referee's whistle sounded.

"Van Persie has fouled again! This time in a scramble with Guo Nu...... His arm was raised to reach Guo Nu's face, which was a superfluous additional action, 100 percent foul ......"

This time, there is no need for the players of the Chinese team to remind them again, the referee has already taken the yellow card out of his pocket. With two fouls in quick succession, referee Hajmondi felt the need to use a yellow card to warn the Dutch captain to keep his emotions in check and not to be so irritable all the time.

In addition, Van Persie fouled the same person twice in a row, if he doesn't play cards again, the emotions of the Chinese players will definitely not be suppressed, and when both sides play angry, this scene will get out of control......

'Robin van Persie was called for a foul and received a yellow card. In doing so, he will miss the next match against Chile...... This is not good news. The Dutch commentator complained. "Van Persie should control his temper......"

Van Persie was booked for two fouls in a row, and after the start of the second half, the Dutch team was really aggressive, but at the same time, it could be seen that they were a little impatient. I think this should be a good thing for the Chinese team......" He Ping said.

'Yes, the Netherlands were a bit anxious in the second half and we just need to be patient now. Don't worry, a draw is perfectly acceptable......" Gong Lei also said. He is now worried that after Zhou Yi is not on the court, the Chinese players will make mistakes in some offensive and defensive rhythms, not accelerating when they should accelerate, slowing down and not slowing down, and then letting the opponent seize the opportunity.

Lippi, as the head coach of the Chinese team, also ran to the sidelines and reminded his players with gestures to stay calm at this time and not be frightened by the offensive of the Dutch team at the beginning of the second half.

Next, when the Chinese team got the ball in the backcourt, the Dutch team launched a press in the front court, which required the Chinese players to handle the ball cleanly and decisively. In this regard, the players of the Chinese team performed well.

Especially Yang Muge and Zheng Zhi.

In Zhou Yi's absence, the two of them each made up for part of Zhou Yi's work.

How they handle the ball also determines the rhythm of the Chinese team.

Not only can they defend, but they can also organize attacks.

Zheng Zhi has always been the core of the organization in Guangzhou Hengyuan, and when Yang Muge played in the National Olympic team, Zhou Yi had not yet joined the National Olympic team, and he shouldered the heavy responsibility of organizing the attack of the National Olympic team.

In the fiftieth minute, Yang Muge sent a long diagonal pass, and He Ying received the ball 25 meters away from the fans on the left side, and shot hard.

The football was saved by Dutch goalkeeper Sirisson.

Although this attack did not score, it told the Dutch team, don't think that the Chinese team is a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually, they have the same chance to threaten your goal when defending.

This makes the Dutch team always have to weigh when they attack again, and think about whether the space behind them will be used by the Chinese team after they attack with all their might.

Now the score is 1:1, which is completely acceptable for the Chinese team, and they can play the next game with a relatively relaxed mentality.

But the Dutch team can't. They're going to win, they're going to win two in a row and then get out of the group early. How could they accept a draw with China?

They can only continue to put pressure on the Chinese team's goal.

At fifty-eight minutes, they really got a great opportunity!

At that time, Depay launched an attack with the ball on the left side, and he faced Zhang Linpeng's defense with a change of line, wanting to cut inside, but Wu Lei, who was back to defense, rushed over and stabbed the football away. But Depay did not give up, and immediately counter-robbed on the spot, collided with Wu Lei, and the football rolled to the side and was taken away by Sneijder.

Sneijder then took control of the ball a bit and passed the ball to Depay and cut forward down the wing.

Depay didn't pass the football to Sneijder, who was in front, but to Robin van Persie in the box!

Van Persie received the football behind central defenders Feng Xiaoting and Guo Nu!

"This ball...... Isn't it offside?!" He Ping didn't hear the referee's whistle and raised such a question.

At the time, many people thought Van Persie was offside.

Feng Xiaoting even stood in place and raised his arm to signal that Van Persie was offside.

But Sun Pan decisively abandoned the door and attacked, ignoring whether Van Persie was offside.

Van Persie just received the ball and turned around, and immediately shot!

The football he shot hit the crotch of Sun Pan, who attacked, and the broken line popped up the bottom line!

"Sun Pan!!He made a crucial save!!He saved the Chinese goal!" He Ping exclaimed.

The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the corner flag area, signaling the Dutch team to take a corner.

At this time, through the TV replay, everyone saw that at the moment of Depay's pass, the Chinese team's left-back Rong Hao dragged at the back, so Van Persie was not offside......

"It's really dangerous......" Gong Lei felt afraid. "If the idea of creating an offside position is not unified, it is easy to have such a problem. Fortunately, Sun Pan's reaction was fast enough and calm enough!"

Sun Pan, who had made a crucial save, jumped up from the ground and slapped his hands hard and yelled at his teammates: "Focus!!!"

He didn't blame Rong Hao, who caused the failure to make offside, nor did he blame Feng Xiaoting, who raised his hand and didn't return to defense.

He even forgot to use the crucial save to get in the limelight.

As a grumpy and showy goalkeeper, it's really ...... It's not easy.
