Chapter 658: Calm Capello!
As the first half was about to end, the Dutch team took advantage of the corner kick to attack the English goal. Robben's fish jumped to the top, giving Dutch fans the best chance to narrow the gap.
Football headed towards the empty goal, England goalkeeper James sighed
The football is getting closer and closer to the goal, heading towards the post
In the eyes of English fans, football is a sharp dagger that penetrates hard towards their hearts
They're about to die
Pong
With a loud bang, the football hit the outside of the post and flew out of the bottom line
This sound is a natural sound for English fans. To celebrate the resurrection from the dead, they cheered loudly
Dutch fans fell from heaven to hell, hopes of narrowing the gap were shattered, they made huge and painful amazement, lamenting the unfair fate
The Netherlands has used set pieces to threaten the English goal many times. In addition to this time, if it weren't for Ashley Cole, the Dutch would have broken the England goal long ago.
James hugged the door post in surprise and kissed him fiercely
Milan Sports Station commentator Luca said loudly: The Netherlands missed the best goal opportunity, and Robben missed the opportunity to narrow the score difference
Sky TV commentator Kent exclaimed: The God of Luck is a football standing on the side of England and was rejected by the door frame.
Capello, standing in the command area, shouted loudly at the court with lingering fear, signaling his players to pay more attention to their defense of set pieces.
In the following time in the first half, England focused on defense and maintained the advantage of two goals until the end of the first half.
Players from both sides returned to the locker room to rest and make final preparations for the second half decisive battle. The fans also stopped and used this time to adjust and prepare for the second half decisive battle.
Major TV stations were busy summarizing the first half and looking forward to the second half. German national TV station said loudly: Both sides did a very good job in defense of positions and did not give the opponent too many opportunities. The most threatening shots of both sides came from set pieces, which was in line with the laws of the battle.
Perhaps the main threat to both sides in the second half was set pieces.
Spanish National Television said: The king is still the one who dominates the first half. He scored one goal and one assist, and he created two goals from England.
Wang is a speechless player. He broke through the Dutch goal in the fourth minute, disrupting the Dutch's deployment, causing them to be psychologically imbalanced, and missed the goals again and again at critical moments.
And that ball brought great confidence to the English. Although they were passive, they seized few opportunities and took advantage of the free kick opportunity to win another goal, causing the Dutch to fall into extreme passivity.
I hope the Dutch team will use the intermission to adjust their mentality and be more patient in the offense, bringing us a great game.
The Wolves' Gemini stars have become England's goal-scoring heroes, and they are one of the best-performing offensive combinations in this World Cup.
In terms of ball possession, the Dutch have the upper hand, their ball possession rate reaching 57, while England is only 43, but the lead in ball possession rate does not bring a lead to the Netherlands, but they are two goals behind.
The Dutch also led England in terms of shooting numbers. They had a total of ten shots in the first half, while England had seven. With seven shots, England scored two goals, which shows that England's offensive efficiency is very terrible.
Dutch National Television said loudly: The score behind is not the end of the world, we still have the entire second half
Let's not forget the quarter-final match against Brazil, we were also behind in the score, but we were the ones who laughed at the end, not Brazil.
England's set pieces defense is not easy to leak. We cannot score goals in positional offense, we can score goals from set pieces
In the second half, we have no way out, we can only attack with all our might. When people are forced into desperate situations, they will always burst out shocking energy. The Dutch will not bow to fate.
Come on the Netherlands
We still have time and chance
Sky TV commentator Kent said: Of course, the Wolves' Gemini who performed the best in the first half were the Wolves' Gemini. They took over two England goals, but we cannot ignore Kenting's contribution to the defensive end. If he hadn't curbed Robben, England's defense line would have been more pressure, and the score would not have been like this now.
This midfielder who is simple and low-key in the game has become an important member of England. He is like a rock, holding up a solid city wall in front of the back line to withstand the opponent's huge waves.
The Wolves trio is the youngest three in England, but they are the three in England's best performance in the first half. I hope they will continue to perform stably in the second half and make outstanding contributions to England's finals.
Milan Sports Station commentator Luca said loudly: Two goals behind, the Netherlands will definitely come out in the second half, and it is time to test England's defense line.
England, which leads two goals, will definitely not fight against the Dutch, they will use the tactic of defensive counterattack.
Is it the Dutchman's stormy offense that broke through England's goal, or is it England using defensive counterattack to expand the score gap again?
All we have to do is wait quietly
The atmosphere in the locker room of both sides was very different. The excitement of the English locker room was intertwined with tension, and the atmosphere in the Dutch locker room was depressed.
After returning to the locker room, Wang Rui silently replenished moisture and wiped the sweat on his body. He was not very satisfied with his performance in the first half. He did not perform much except those two goals.
Compared with the last game against Uruguay, the Dutch did not send someone to guard him in this game, but whenever he wanted to get the ball, or he held the ball, the Dutch would tightly siege him, which forced him to reduce the time to control the ball.
Peter has been discussing the details of the first half with his teammates, and he wants to use this method to resolve the tension in his heart.
Seeing that the time was almost over, the Italian coughed twice and prepared to speak. The players quickly returned to their positions to prepare to listen to the coach's arrangements for the second half.
In the first half, we did a good job in position defense, but the defense of set pieces was not very good. We must improve in this regard in the second half, and we must keep a close eye on the opponent's key players.
Capello said seriously: Two goals lead does not mean we can win this game. There are already many examples in the world that remind us that if you are careless, even if you lead three goals, the opponent will have a chance to equalize the score.
Peter curled the joy on his face and his face became very serious. Gillard nodded repeatedly. The example given by the Italian was created by him, which he had a deep understanding of.
Before the whistle sounded, anything could happen, just like our last game, scoring two goals in stoppage time, reversing the score.
We can't give the Dutch a chance like this
After reminding the players, the Italians began to arrange the strategies and tactics of the second half: the Dutch will definitely increase the offense. All we have to do is to do a good job of defense and not let them score too early.
Ashley Cole frowned, the coach just distrusts our defense line
The Italian said in a deep voice: I know everyone has different views on what I just said, believing that I don’t trust our back line. On the contrary, I am quite confident in our defense line.
But the Dutch are the only team except us that keeps winning all the money. What does this mean
It shows his strong offensive ability
Moreover, there were several dangerous situations in front of our goal in the first half, which confirmed the Dutch's strong attack power.
In the second half, our strategy is to try to delay the opponent's speed as much as possible in defense. We must be concise when attacking. We should not make too many reversals in the middle and backcourts. We should transfer the football to the frontcourt as fast as possible.
In the following time, the Italian explained the tactical style in detail, and the English players temporarily forgot the tension of entering the finals.
Especially the defenders, they decided to prove with facts that although the Dutch attack was sharp, England's defense was extremely strong.
