Chapter 746: Wai Luo Fangmei
Eat raw at a continuous rate!
Fast is really king!
Carvalho was almost the last line of defence for Portugal at this time.
Carvalho has a strong defensive ability, and he has a good sense of defense, and his defense is full of aggression, speed, turning, and confrontation are all excellent.
One-on-one, he is the most consistent at the back.
The two quickly approached.
Robben began to slow down.
But nothing has changed in direction.
Robben rushed at Carvalho, meaning "just to pass you"!
Left and right, left and right, left and right...... Robben shook continuously.
He ended up stabbing with his left foot.
The ball went straight through the crotch and Carvalho drilled through.
Robben finishes the inside cut from the left side of Carvalho!
Carvalho fell to the ground with a bang.
The fans gasped.
Carvalho, the best defender in the Champions League this season, was actually shaken by the young Robben?
This......
There was no time to be shocked, Baia took the initiative.
Robben had plenty of shots on goal and struck wide.
Seconds later, Sansan's late Van der Meyde fired a shot into the empty net.
The football rolls into the goal.
The chasing Baia was powerless.
βGOALοΌ Van der Meyde! Robben! β
"Nice counterattack!"
"This is the Dutch team that is all in attack and defense!"
"Peter Pan Robben is too fast, and his dribbling breakthrough is just as terrifying! He's like a mirror image of Van der Meyde! β
"The last pass showed Robben's selflessness."
"Two to zero! Are the Dutch going to knock out their hosts on Portuguese soil? β
"Who would have thought that the Portuguese team, which has the world's No. 1 Deng Kai, would stop in the quarterfinals of the European Championship."
'It's a big blow to the Portuguese team.
"This will seriously affect the public's evaluation of Deng Kai."
"At least in terms of the national team, Deng Kai did not show good results."
The camera was given to Robben, but Robben, who completed the assist and scored two goals, was not very happy.
Because he wasn't going to pass the ball.
He prefers to hit the door himself when he has the chance.
But Advocaat made it clear that Robbendo was the ball to pass.
He doesn't allow players to push the limits of their roles.
Otherwise, Sneijder is the best example of this.
Even if the Netherlands reach the final and are unavailable, Sneijder will not be given a chance to play.
Van der Meyde, as the core of the team, has the right to fire second only to Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Alas......
Arjen Robben didn't even like to play on the left, he preferred to play on the right because then no one would push him to pass.
The left foot will pass a hammer ball on the right side.
But also because of Donny van der Meyde, Robben had to come to the left.
In the end, the score of the first half was fixed at 2-0.
The Dutch had an absolute advantage.
It is an indisputable fact that the Portuguese team as a whole was suppressed.
The score was a precise reflection of the situation.
β¦β¦
Back in the dressing room, the Portuguese team decisively pushed the whiteboard.
Deng Kai was watching the first-half data analysis handed over by Trigra along the way.
Combined with the feeling he had on the pitch, he basically had an idea.
Bang Bang Bang!
Deng Kai took the marker, tapped the white book, and motioned for his teammates to look over.
Deco was surprised by this.
Because it wasn't Trigra who came to explain the tactics?
Or Marquesa.
Deng Kai is just a player, how dare he?
Just as Deco couldn't have done it in Porto, MuΓ±erio wouldn't have allowed it.
'The left side of the Dutch team is an absolute dominant lane at the moment and Robben is playing very well. Deng Kai pointed to Robben's name, "His speed, dribbling, and passing are all excellent. β
'He was the most efficient player in the entire first half.
"It's going to be hard for us to completely suppress him."
Speaking of this, Pepe lowered his head a little ashamedly.
He and Maniche were the same players against Robben and it was their problem that they couldn't limit him.
But in fact, the main problem is Maniche.
Maniche loved to rush forward too much.
In Porto, they are defensive and lack attacking means.
The offense is almost dependent on the individual abilities of Deco and Drogba.
And Drogba's response, and Maniche's forward shot is one of the matching tactics.
In addition, Porto often need players who are good at cutting forward when they counter-attack, and Maniche can do that too.
So he's a good fit for Porto.
However, this style of play is not suitable for the Portuguese team.
Because the Portuguese team has no shortage of attacking players in the frontcourt.
The Portuguese team was already top-heavy.
Three forwards, two forwards, each of them is an attacking superstar...... There is no need for Maniche to plug it in as often.
Portugal need a midfielder who can stay at the back.
'In the second half, Pepe and Carvalho switched places. Deng Kai suddenly drew a circle on Van der Meyde's name, "Maniche and Costinha switch places. β
"The only task for Costinha and Carvalho is to contain Robben. You guys stay back for a long time, don't let Robben sprint space, so that Robben will not find a breakthrough opportunity easily. β
"We're going to focus on Van der Meyde for the next step."
"Although Van der Meyde has a higher status in the Dutch team, he has not performed well in this World Cup. There were some problems with his technique and tactics, and the defensive philosophy of Serie A affected his attacking philosophy. β
"Although the pace is still fast, the efficiency of his breakthrough in the past half season has dropped dramatically."
'It's a lot like my team-mate at the club, Ashley Young. Highlight a person who can't pass. β
'So we hoarded troops all the way to Robben and forced them to give Van der Meyde the ball.
"Pepe, you have a heavy task."
"You have to take out Van der Meyde one-on-one. It is only one-on-one that can make the Dutch team always insist on handing over the ball to Van der Meyde. Otherwise, they will definitely choose Robben, who is in better form. β
"And in front of you, Maniche, Deco, I, we're all here, you know what I mean?"
'Of course, as a Champions League defender, I'm sure you have the ability.
Pepe nodded heavily.
It's a daunting task indeed.
Freeze Van der Meyde heads-up and play the gap behind Van der Meyde.
Pepe was the most important link in the Portuguese counter-offensive.
If he can't guard against Van der Meyde, then Portugal probably won't have it.
After two years, I can't imagine that the Kai team still trusts themselves so much.
Pepe didn't know if he could do it.
But he had never wanted to do it so much at this moment.
That's the power of believing.
Coming back in the second half.
The Dutch team soon figured out the problem.
The Portuguese are targeting Robben.
In the 47th minute, Robben was caught between Costinha and Carvalho.
Under the control of Champions League centre-backs and Champions League midfielders, Robben clearly lost possession.
It's not something to be ashamed of.
This in turn proves Robben's threat.
Fifty-first minute.
Robben struggled to deliver a cross with the help of his team-mates, but it was not of high quality and was easily headed out by Font.
The one-meter-eighty-eight Vanney really can't take advantage of Font on the high-altitude ball.
