Invincible Haaland at the start

Chapter 170

In the next two days, France, Germany, Argentina, and Belgium also won one after another and entered the quarter-finals.

The match between England and the Netherlands is scheduled for last.

The first to start is still Brazil.

Two central defenders, Thiago Silva and David Luiz, scored goals one after another. Brazil led 2-0. J. Rodriguez pulled one back, but it was difficult to recover the defeat. The hosts took the lead in entering the semi-finals.

France and Germany met, and finally scored with the header of central defender Hummels. Germany successfully ate chicken in Rio de Janeiro and will meet Brazil in the semifinals.

Next up is Argentina VS Belgium.

In just 8 minutes of the opening, Higuain scored his first goal in this World Cup and the only goal in the game.

Argentina has reached the top four for the first time since 1990, and it is also the first time that they have entered the semi-finals at the same time as their rival Brazil. However, their next opponent will be the winner of the World War I between the Netherlands and England. The South American duo want to meet at the top. way far.

巴西时间7月5日17时，世界杯1/4决赛最后1场将在萨尔瓦多新水源球场展开较量。

Against both sides: England VS Netherlands.

This is the biggest test of the tournament so far for both teams.

Dutch striker Robben, Van Persie and Lin Yun are old acquaintances who have played against each other several times. Rooney and Van Persie are still fighting side by side at Manchester United. The atmosphere is not very serious.

Van Persie even smiled and talked about the diving goal he scored against Spain, "I watched the live broadcast of the Champions League final. When I saw your header and scored, I was thinking, if I have the opportunity, I must also score. A header like that, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon..."

"Actually, it's a pity," Lin Yun replied with a smile, "It would be even better if these two goals were scored in this game."

"Ah? Haha, maybe..."

"I'm serious, if you're unhappy at Manchester United, you might as well go back to Arsenal," Lin Yun said, "At worst, I'll return the No. 11 jersey to you."

Rooney almost punched him from the side, "Did you forget that I'm here too?"

Lin Yun regarded him as air, "I can see that Wenger actually really misses you."

Van Persie was silent for a while, and then squeezed out another smile, "Let's talk."

As we talked, the time came, and the few people who had been having a good conversation quickly settled down, and they were about to meet each other.

"England and the Netherlands have been losers in penalty shoot-outs in previous competitions, so the coaches of both sides must strive to resolve the battle within 90 minutes, and at most it will be overtime to decide the winner... "

"De Jong was out with a groin injury and Blind played as a midfielder.

Indy returned to the starting lineup.

Driven moved to the right to replace Ferhah.

The teenager Depay played on the left wing.

Sneijder played in the World Cup for the 16th time, creating a record for Dutch players. Captain Van Persie ranked second with 15 games.

Netherlands 3-4-3.
Goalkeeper: 1-Cillessen;
Defenders: 3-De Vry, 2-Vlaar, 4-Indy;

Midfielder: 15-Dukiter, 20-Weynertown, 5-Blind, 10-Sneijder, 21-Depay;

Forwards: 11-Arjen Robben, 9-Van Persie (captain). "

"England followed the same starting lineup against Greece.

Wilshere successfully squeezed out Henderson with his outstanding performance and obtained a stable main position.

Gerrard represented the England team for the 115th time, surpassing Beckham, second only to England's legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton's 125 games, ranking second in history.

Although there are only ten games away, it is very likely that he will not be able to surpass Hilton, because according to reliable news from The Times, both Gerrard and Lampard have decided to officially withdraw from the national team after this World Cup.

England is currently discussing who should take over as captain of Gerrard. Originally, Rooney was the most popular candidate, but at present, it seems that there is a more trustworthy person in this national team, but I don’t know how Hodgson chooses. It's..."

Everyone naturally knows who the "more trustworthy person" refers to.

Lin Yun's personality did not show the toughness that a leader should have. His leadership is more reflected through invisible influence, and he is more inclined to the type of "spiritual leader".

England's last captain of this type dates back to 12 years ago, when Owen also briefly served as England captain.

Owen was only 22 years old at the time, and his personality was also gentle and elegant, but he did not do badly during his tenure. It can be seen that prestige is not just a matter of having a loud enough voice and being fierce enough. Charisma.

In fact, the England team has already acquiesced in Lin Yun's leadership position. After all, even the biggest "rival" Rooney has already convinced Lin Yun. As long as Hodgson doesn't lose his mind, he knows how to choose...

"England 4-4-2.
Goalkeeper: 1-Joe Hart;
Guards: 2-Glenn Johnson, 6-Jagielka, 5-Cahill, 3-Bynes;
Midfield: 8-Gerrard (captain), 7-Wilshere, Chamberlain, 19-Sterling;
Forwards: 10-Rooney, 9-Lin Yun. "

Before the game, the captains of both sides read out the anti-racism declaration, and then the game officially started.

The two teams defeated the old strong teams Italy and Spain in the group stage respectively, and both advanced as the first place in the group. They have already proved their strength. Today, it is doomed to be impossible to meet in this kind of knockout match where it is either you or me. They played too aggressively, but who knew that the Netherlands played a blitz for everyone as soon as the whistle blew.

Robben lapped the edge and rushed forward quickly. After receiving the pass from Van Persie, Sneijder immediately slanted the ball and sent the ball to Robben accurately.

Robben accelerated suddenly after receiving the ball, wading the ball directly past Wilshere, and then passed the ball to teach Glenn Johnson.

Then it was time to cut inside and hit the goal.

Cahill probably thought hard about his defensive strategy in front of Robben's game video, and chose to let go of Robben's inside cut, and then suddenly moved laterally to block when he hit the goal.

The football bounced off Cahill's calf.

Van Persie quickly inserted from the middle and was about to volley when Jagielka suddenly burst out from the penalty area and gave the ball to Gerrard with a sliding tackle.

Gerrard catches the ball sideways and makes a short pass to Chamberlain.

Oxlade-Chamberlain dribbled the ball quickly from the wing, at the front of the Netherlands' half-court long pass.

As the football fell, Lin Yun broke free from the defenses of Dirk, Dirk and Indy, jumped up lightly, and volleyed.

"Oh!"

The hearts of all the Dutch fans trembled. Fortunately, the football did not hit the goal frame, but flew high over the crossbar and out of the baseline.

"...The game entered a climax from the first second! Robben and Lin Yun hit the goal from outside the penalty area one after another, but one was blocked by the defender, and the other was higher than the crossbar. The competition will be very intense!"

The commentator said that he almost believed it. As a result, after the two tentative attacks at the beginning, the two sides quickly played very cautiously. It was the 10th minute of the game, and there were still only two shots at the beginning.

The Dutch team took the lead in speeding up.

In the 11th minute, Robben counterattacked and scored the ball to the right. Dirk Drivet kicked the ball and quickly knocked back to the middle of the court.

Depay made a transition and hit the ball to the left.

Football just bypassed Glenn Johnson and came to Van Persie.

Van Persie rushes forward and shoots low without stopping the ball!
"...the Dutch team's quick counterattack! Robben crossed the middle, Depay moved to the left, and Van Persie hit the goal!! Joe Hart reacted like a god!"

Van Persie shot ten meters away from the goal on the left, and Joe Hart threw the ball away with one hand.

This is not over yet.

The football saved by him happened to be near Sneijder. Jagielka was like a log and did not make an effective block at all, allowing Sneijder to complete a supplementary shot.

In fact, Sneijder was also a little confused. The quality of this shot was not high due to lack of preparation, but no matter how low it was, it still flew towards the goal.

At the critical moment, Joe Hart stepped forward again, and this time he held the ball firmly in his arms, not as stable as an England goal.

"... Van Persie's shot was saved, Sneijder's shot was also blocked, Joe Hart saved the England team."

Even Lin Yun, who was in the frontcourt, couldn't help applauding Joe Hart this time.

"Hart: Do you know why you couldn't score twice? Because you are too close to the goal!"

"Fuck, the goalkeeper of the England team has a day to become the protagonist!"

"This wave is settled, even the goalkeeper is so stable, San Miao will definitely win today!"

"I still hope to drag it to a penalty shootout to see who is more unlucky between the two."

"Let's have a match between General Fan and Emperor Lin's Fairy Ball!"

Joe Hart's performance wasn't over yet.

Two minutes later, the Dutch team made a comeback. This time, Van Persie dribbled the ball straight to the left side of the penalty area. Depay, a popular fried chicken from the Eredivisie, chose a safe small-angle shot from ten meters in front of the goal.

Seeing that the football was about to enter the goal, Joe Hart suddenly rushed out as if he could teleport, and blocked the ball with his foot.

Cahill, who quickly returned to the defense, quickly kicked the ball to the side, and Baines slanted the ball again and handed the ball to Wilshere.

In addition to praising Joe Hart this time, the commentators on the major platforms began to criticize England's defense, but their voices became quieter as they spoke, and then suddenly became louder again.

"Joe Hart made another goalline rescue! If the England team can win today, the goalkeeper will definitely take half of the credit! Of course, if they lose, then their defense will have to take full responsibility. It's too... Lin Yun dribbled the ball in the middle and rode through the barrier alone! Passed! Passed! Passed again!!!”

Lin Yun retreated deeply and received a direct pass from Wilshere in his own half.

Sneijder was the first to step forward to intercept, but Lin Yun changed direction and got rid of it.

He was about to entangle for the second time, but Lin Yun had already poked the ball forward, and then bounced on the spot, leaving in the dust.

With his head held high, Lin Yun walked towards the goal of the Dutch team with an indomitable momentum.

Meteor in stride.

Blind arrived second.

He didn't dare to step forward directly, but retreated cautiously facing Lin Yun, but Lin Yun didn't have time to play the game of left or right with him, and directly wiped him off with a simple and rough hand.

Blinder subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull it, but only touched Lin Yun's sleeve.

This is actually a brutal speed shot, relying on pure explosive power and physical talent, not much technical content, but it makes people's blood spurt.

Rooney quickly entered the penalty area to respond, and Sterling and Chamberlain also stepped in from the wings to help him share the pressure, but everyone automatically ignored their existence, and even the Dutch defenders seemed to have Lin Yun alone. .

The only decent central defender in the Netherlands, Vlaar, came out to meet under tremendous pressure.

The two were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and Lin Yun immediately made a big score.

The football was kicked by him from Vlar's left, and it rolled out for seven or eight meters, while he ran to Vral's right.

Vlaar guessed that Lin Yun would use the human ball to pass, but he didn't expect his human ball to be so overbearing. Not only did he start two meters away, but he also swung the ball so far all at once.

Feral immediately turned around to chase the ball, but he played a clever trick and deliberately blocked Lin Yun's path, trying to carry Lin Yun out with his body.

This is not suicidal, what is it...

Fans who are familiar with Lin Yun have a feeling that they can't bear to look directly at him.

Feral was knocked into the air abruptly.

De Vry and Indy joined hands to fight from the left and right, and shoveled if they disagreed.

At this time, Rooney was actually empty, and even Sterling and Chamberlain, who were slightly behind on both sides, were not defended. As long as Lin Yun scored the ball, England would have a great opportunity.

But everyone, including Hodgson, seemed unwilling to see Lin Yun pass the ball.

Except that everyone hoped that this lonely hero's solo trip to Longtan would have a perfect result, everyone seemed to firmly believe that the effect of Lin Yun's own dribbling is no worse than that of passing.

Two defenders shoveled towards Lin Yunfei in a "V" shape, but when the "V" was about to take shape, Lin Yun had already poked the ball between them, and then he jumped lightly, successfully passing between the two of them. flew over.

One-handed!

Cillessen walked out with all the hopes of the Netherlands.

Van Gaal had already raised his head high, staring at the sky, not wanting to look any further.

Lin Yun tipped his toes, and the football jumped up slightly, flew over Cillesen's head, and fell into the goal of the Dutch team.

1-0.

Lin Yun ran to the sidelines, raised his hands high, stretched out his index finger, and pointed to the sky.

"The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like shooting stars!

Lin Yun is like a knight wielding a sword at the end of the world, killing a person in ten steps, and never staying behind for a thousand miles!
Sneijder, Blind, Vlaar, De Vrij, Indy, and even goalkeeper Cillessen, the Dutch team dispatched six players, but they still couldn't stop Lin Yun!
This is a goal full of personal heroism, Lin Yun single-handedly knocked on the door of victory for the England team again..."
