Then the referee blew the whistle and Huntelaar passed the ball to Van der Vaart.

The competition has officially begun.

The Dutch team started the game with a very aggressive pressing stance.

As soon as Van der Vaart picked up the ball, Levi and Kuyt immediately spread out on the flanks and inserted into the ribs of Iceland's formation.

At the same time, Van Bommel stepped forward to assist Van der Vaart in control.

"Van der Vaart passed the ball to Levy, Van Bronckhorst cut in, Levi made a transition to the wing, inserted it into the ribs, and the Dutch team played fiercely from the start."

"Van Bronckhorst passes back to Levi, who dribbles the ball."

The Icelandic team started with a very deep formation, with all 11 men in their own half.

On the back line, there are five generals who are strictly defending.

Levi looked forward, a big man in a white jersey with a beard.

Stefan Gislarsen and Vejjar Par Gunnarsson quickly approached him as soon as he regained the ball, while the backcourt players quickly gathered around.

Levi was almost put in an iron cage.

"It looks like Levi is the target of the Icelandic team."

Zhan Jun quipped that Levi dodged left and right in the crowd, tried it and seized the opportunity to deflect the ball.

After fusing the two templates, his dribbling ability can be said to have risen to a very terrifying level.

At the same time, attention was paid to the advantages and disadvantages of the two dribbling methods in the training, and the characteristics were screened and complemented to a certain extent.

However, under the deliberate targeting of a group of Icelandic teams, Levi never had a chance to tear through the defense directly through the early stages of the game.

Whenever he gets the ball, he is surrounded by three or four people, and when he goes in one direction, someone follows closely, and at the same time, someone changes the defense nearby.

The man who has been keeping an eye on him is the Icelandic striker, so you know how deep the Icelandic defence is compressed.

Kuyt, on the other side, was also unable to attack.

The two could only try some long balls from the flanks, but in the face of a group of tall and strong men, Huntelaar couldn't get the ball in the box at all.

It was only in the ninth minute of the game that the Dutch team found their first great attacking opportunity.

Cruyff sat in the box, his piercing eyes looking down on the pitch and his gaze resting on the flickering orange figure on the outside of the Icelandic penalty area.

Icelandic midfielder Stefan slipped on the grass and grass clippings flew over.

And Levi in front of him after two large bicycle movements, like a forward dial rush, and then covertly reversely reversed the ball, allowing Stefan, who had to take a tackle to block Levi.

Then he flicked his right foot easily and handed the ball to Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart received the ball and observed Levi getting past Stefan while Huntelaar waited on the edge of the box.

A diagonal kick was given to Huntelaar.

Huntelaar doesn't have the skills of Van Persie, but he has a strong sense of tackling points and a sense of smell in the box, an excellent ability to take chances, and a decent physical condition.

It's good to make the ball and pass the ball.

The technical characteristics are very similar to Ruud van Nistelrooy or Morientes when they were young, especially the accuracy of the final kick, and they are even called the next "king of the small penalty area".

It's just that his peak period was not until he transferred to Schalke 04, and in the 2011-2012 season, Huntelaar won the Bundesliga Golden Boot with 29 goals in Schalke 04, and became the best scorer in a single season in the Bundesliga for 30 years, and also broke the record for the most goals scored by a foreign player in a single season in the history of the Bundesliga.

This statistic was not broken by Lewandowski until the 2015-2016 season.

Huntelaar met the ball forward, and when the ball was about to make contact, he turned and ran into the box, while touching the ball with his heel to flick the ball to Levi.

"A very wonderful connection, Levi and Huntelaar, Huntelaar went into the penalty area, but Levi was surrounded..."

Zhan Jun shouted, not knowing how to explain the situation on the field for a while.

Levi was surrounded by Sigurdsund and Sigurdsund, as well as Sigurdsund.

Sigurdsson clings to Levi's body and is shaken off by Levi's ball.

But then another Sigurdsson came in and blocked Levi's pass to Huntelaar.

At the same time, Sigurdsson, who was shaken, cooperated with Sigurdsson to close the door defense against Levi again.

"A beautiful croquette, moving left and right, it's really smart!"

The Amsterdam Arena is thundering!

Cruyff's eyes sparkled, and he shook the armrest of his seat excitedly as he looked at Levi, who was moving through the Icelandic formation on his own.

"Oops, I'm still in the bag."

Zhan Jun sighed regretfully.

After passing two men, Levi was firmly squeezed by two men, while the third Sigurdsson stepped up.

The ball was cut off from his feet.

...

The 14th minute of the game.

The Dutch team once again organized an attack in front of the penalty area, trying to disrupt Iceland's bucket formation with a quick cross.

In one pass, Nigel de Jong, who was cutting forward, got into a fierce physical confrontation with Gudjohnsen when he wanted to try a long-range shot.

The ball hits the leg of the opposing defender and bounces off the baseline.

The muscles and bones of the two collided together.

There is a tooth-aching crashing sound.

The referee blew off the game, and two groups of people gathered around, De Jong, as the villain who did the dirty work in the team, still had to help him out every time he did something.

But I didn't expect that the person who fell to the ground was De Jong.

John Goodson stepped on his ankle after he got up.

The fourth official holds up the number plate.

De Jong was substituted and brought on De Zeu.

"The corner kick of the Dutch team, look at this opportunity, a number of high points have been lurking into the penalty area, but the ability to be high is relatively high, and the opponent is not false."

Van der Vaart stood at the corner, looked at Huntelaar's position and took a deep breath.

Smack.

The ball arced under his feet and crashed into the box, where Huntelaar leaped high.

"Sigurdsson! Ruined this corner opportunity! ”

Sigurdsson, who jumped high, squeezed Huntelaar with his body, cleared the ball, and did not forget to high-five another Sigurdsson after landing.

The cleared ball flew out of the box and was in the hands of Van der Vaart.

"There's still a chance! The Dutch team continues to organize the attack! ”

Levi searched for a position in the box for a header for half a day, but Van der Vaart didn't look for him, he hadn't scored a header in a long time.

The Dutch players didn't know that when he played in the Soviet Super League, he used headers as an important attacking method.

"Van der Vaart, it's good to stuff this time! Levi was on the edge of the box. ”

The Dutch players, who had withdrawn from the penalty area in a tidal wave, suddenly stopped and began to turn around and weave into the Iceland penalty area.

"Look at this ball, Levi pushes the ball forward, back to..."

Zhan Jun saw Levi send the ball forward with his foot, and said subconsciously.

But before he could finish his words, he saw that the tall striker, after making a push and pass movement, did not use force, but pulled the ball back to his side almost instantly.

At the same time, his body jammed the sight of the opposing defender.

With a slam of his right foot, the ball ran diagonally towards the penalty area at an unfast pace, while his body turned quickly.

Got past the centre-backs who were clinging to him behind him.

The eyes of the entire stadium were focused on him, and everyone held their breath as they watched this dexterous and agile passer, and the noise on the pitch suddenly decreased.

Several strong men with strong bodies exposed their weakness of being slow to turn.

Stumbling and not knowing how to restrain Levi, who had already entered the restricted area.

"Oh my God, it's so similar!"

AZ Alkmaar coach Louis van Gaal, who was there today, turned his head to look at Cruyff not far away.

"Levi! This shrewd dribble tore through Iceland's iron bucket, although there were still people in front of him to block, and there were a number of Dutch players in the box at the moment! You can hook up several attack points! ”

Zhan Jun roared: "Pass the ball to Kuyt, this position can be played directly." ”

Levi got up and made a clever push to the left, and the ball slipped through the gap between the two Sigurdssons.

Matthison, who had just entered the penalty area and competed for a header.

A left-footed tackle into the near corner from five yards out at the front post.

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Mathieson scores! ”

"Levi turned around in a flash of inspiration, and this accurate through ball found Mathieson!"

"Fifteen minutes, Iceland's painstaking iron bucket formation was broken, and the Dutch team led 1-0!"
