Chapter 360 A fatal blow! Yang Hao is a role model for our generation to learn from! [A big chapter with ten thousand words, please beg me to subscribe]

Unlike the Spanish national team, which chooses its base camp in a remote small town, the Dutch national team's base camp is arranged at the Hilton Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg.

This is the only Hilton hotel in Johannesburg.

The Dutch team took a head start and moved in first.

This hotel is equipped with tennis courts and swimming pools, as well as a beautiful garden.

After having breakfast with the players, Dutch national team coach Van Marwijk always chooses to take a walk in the garden.

It's still very cold in South Africa at the end of June, and no one would choose to swim at this time of year.

After night falls, the huge garden seems very quiet.

As Van Marwijk walked, he was thinking about his next opponent, Spain.

This is the World Cup quarter-final knockout matchup!
The Dutch, the uncrowned king, are thinking about winning every competition.

This world is very realistic.

"You are indeed here, Bert."

Fortunately, Van Marwijk's team has been winning.

By 2004, when van Marwijk coached Dortmund, Vern also followed him to Germany, where he remains today.

To a certain extent, he and Yang Hao were doing the same thing.

In the Netherlands, many people believe that the Dutch team, which has international players such as Van Persie, Sneijder, Robben and Kuyt, played too poorly in the offensive end of the frontcourt.

For example, Cruyff wrote an article not long ago saying that Van Marwijk betrayed Dutch football.

"Have you read the report in the People's Daily?" Cocu asked with a smile.

Along with him were two other assistant coaches, Philippe Cocu and Frank DeBoer.

Vern did not have a brilliant career. He made his debut at the Dutch club MVV Maastricht.

It can be said that the friendship between the two is irreversible.

This is the path most often taken by retired celebrities.

In the later years of his career, Van Marwijk played for Maastricht.

Van Marwijk is also under heavy pressure, and even his coaching of the Dutch national team has been criticized.

Unless he wins the championship, he will have no choice but to resign!
……

Fern served as the head coach of Fortuna Sittard in 88.

This year is no different.

Even, not only outside, but also in the locker room, he was criticized a lot.

A group of four people strolled around the garden, came to the empty swimming pool, and sat down on the wicker chairs. The topic naturally turned to the next game against Spain.

Yang Hao is subverting Spanish tradition and abandoning the traditional winger style.

Strictly speaking, the two of them passed each other, but they also became connected because of these two teams.

He is Van Basten's assistant coach. De Boer previously coached the Ajax youth team, but this time they both came in to serve as Van Marwijk's assistant.

This put him under a mountain of domestic pressure in the Netherlands.

Everyone knows that these two famous Dutch players are here not only to gain gold, but also to accumulate experience.

Van Bommel said in an interview with media reporters before the World Cup: "This is the most un-Netherlands national team in history."

The Netherlands' performance in the World Cup also caused them to receive a lot of criticism.

Van Marwijk relies most heavily on his old partner Dick Fern.

But Spain is the biggest obstacle in front of the Netherlands.

This is really unsatisfactory for the Netherlands.

But Van Marwijk knows very well that if he cannot move forward, if his team loses the game, all the lurking criticism and accusations will sweep towards him with an even more overwhelming momentum.

Both Cocu and DeBoer mentioned the public opinion outside.

"In this report, they described Yang Hao as synonymous with total offense and artistic football in the Netherlands, and described us as Mourinho-style anti-football utilitarians."

Van Marwijk shook his head, but the three assistants opposite him had obviously seen it.

Volkskrant is the most influential newspaper in the Netherlands and has the largest circulation.

The main reason is that the style of play is too conservative.

Van Marwijk followed the call and found that the chief assistant coach Dick Fern was here.

Everyone will be extra tolerant to the winner.

Later, when Van Marwijk coached Fortuna Sittard, he established a deep friendship with Fern and cooperated.

So far, they have won 4 out of 4 games, but whether they are facing Japan, Denmark, Cameroon or Slovenia, the Netherlands has not played an eye-catching offense.

In 86, Van Marwijk played for Fortuna Sittard, but a year later he moved to Belgium to retire.

And what about him?
He gave up the 433 total offense and defense of the Dutch in the past, and instead adopted a more pragmatic, defensive and counterattack tactics.

Van Marwijk frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Cocu and DeBoer were stunned.

"Bert, you know, although Mourinho has achieved good results in coaching Barcelona, ​​his coaching style has always been criticized in our country, especially in several games against Atletico Madrid. His conservativeness is very unpleasant." DeBoer explained.

Both he and Cocu have a Barcelona background.

In the Netherlands, Barcelona is a very special La Liga club.

But now, under the influence of Mourinho, Barcelona has become more and more utilitarian and has completely lost the flavor of Dutch football.

This is no longer the Barcelona team that the Dutch are most familiar with.

On the contrary, Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid is becoming the most popular symbol of artistic football in the world.

Today's Spanish national team is based on Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid.

"They actually hope that we can play more actively, such as Van der Vaart, he should get more opportunities."

De Boer comes from Ajax and has a good relationship with Van der Vaart.

From the qualifying rounds to the World Cup, Van der Vaart was one of the most creative players in the Dutch midfield.

Whether in Barcelona or in the Dutch national team, he is not the absolute main force, but he can change the game every time he plays.

Today, Van der Vaart is no longer the high-spirited golden boy he once was, but his footwork, skills and creativity are currently the most scarce in the Dutch national team.

But Van Marwijk would rather use the double midfielder of Van Bommel and De Jong than try to give Van der Vaart a chance to play.

This has resulted in the Dutch national team's midfield organization being in a mess.

Some even say that today's Dutch team looks like England.

What do you mean?
Long pass!
"I have explained many times that the players we have now do not have the ability to play 433."

Van Marwijk shook his head and sighed.

"If we continue to play 433, the two full-backs Van Bronckhorst are too old and Van der Wiel is too young. They cannot support our wings at all. Our midfield also lacks a delicate enough ball handler. We will get Can’t catch the ball.”

"There is also our defense line. Our current central defenders are Matheson and Heitinga. We lack high-level central defenders. In this case, we must prioritize defense."

"If we stick to tradition, the final result is that we win the scene but lose the game."

Van Marwijk's words have been said within the coaching staff, but the media and fans outside do not recognize them at all.

They only saw the stars.

They feel that with Van der Vaart in the midfield, the midfielder will be more creative, the team will play better, and the offense will be smoother.

But at what cost?
The defense will be penetrated by the opponent!
"The current football trend is completely different." Van Marwijk exhaled heavily.

He is not very old yet, but the pressure since coaching the national team has made him breathless.

Faced with the interests of all parties, he had a hard time maintaining it.

There are always various irreconcilable conflicts within the Dutch national team.

Even if it was just to maintain the superficial "peace", Van Marwijk had already tried his best.

"In the past, when we talked about technology, we always mentioned Brazil, Argentina, Spain and Portugal, and Germany. When it came to Germany, the impression was their integrity and height and strength. When it came to England, it was their fast pace and impact. ”

"But now, Germany has also begun to play pass control. Their new generation of young players also obviously pay more attention to technology than in the past. Brazil, with its exquisite skills, has begun to emphasize defense. Their defensive midfielder has the highest rate among all teams. "

"And England, everyone thinks their skills are rough, but in fact, they are also looking for passing control."

"Even teams like Uruguay, which used to have a rough style of play, are now increasing their technical content."

"This represents a completely new trend."

"Technology, strength, and speed are constantly integrating. Each team must build on its original foundation and integrate more elements with the times, learn from each other's strengths, and make themselves more comprehensive."

"And here's our problem!"

"In the past few years, our frontcourt players have been well developed, but there have been serious gaps in the midfield and backcourt players. This forces us to no longer stick to the old rules, but must keep pace with the times and make bold changes."

What Van Marwijk said is very pertinent.

Whether it is Vern, who has been in the industry for many years, or Cocu and DeBoer, who have played football for many years, we can all see this general trend.

Van Marwijk was right!
In other words, after this World Cup, this trend has become very obvious.

Yang Hao and his Atletico Madrid and Spain are the strongest proof!

Even, from now on, all the reformers of clubs and national teams will regard Yang Hao as a model to learn from.

Make bold moves and make great breakthroughs!
"Facing a team like Spain, we have no choice at all. If we want to win, we have to fight against football."

"We can't compete with Spain in terms of technology and offense. We can only give up the fight for the ball and continue to use double midfielders. At the same time, we adopt strict man-to-man defense against them to curb their organization and offense."

"Even, when necessary, our players should adopt some more aggressive defensive methods to interrupt the game."

Only teams that pass the ball need a smooth game, not defensive counterattacks.

When Van Marwijk told them this at this moment, he actually wanted to tell them one thing.

After playing in Spain, the accusations and criticisms against him will definitely be bigger and more violent.

If he can win, then everything will be fine.

But if he loses, he will become a sinner!
But as the team's head coach, does he have a choice?

If you want to win, you have to do this!
Fern, DeBoer and Cocu all looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.

Van Marwijk had no choice.

No matter what you choose, you will be scolded!

This is the tragedy of the weak!

"Don't think so much. As I said before the World Cup, we don't set any goals for this World Cup. Being able to qualify from the group stage and enter the top 8 is actually pretty good, isn't it?"

Van Marwijk laughed to himself.

Although they performed well in the qualifiers, before the World Cup, no one, including the Netherlands, felt that the Netherlands had the strength to compete for the championship.

If we encounter Spain in advance, there is nothing we can do about it.

All we can do is fight!

If you advance, you are a hero and an unexpected gain.

If you lose, then you lose.

"Don't worry, our defense is still very good!" Van Marwijk's eyes were full of determination, but at the same time there was a hint of cunning.

If Van der Vaart can't play as the main force, there will always be no problem as a substitute.

……

On the evening of June 7, Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Spain plays the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

The game has reached the 70th minute, and the score is still 0-0.

Neither side was able to score a goal.

Yang Hao stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, his attention always focused on the game.

In the coaching bench behind him, assistants were also busy preparing and studying their opponents.

Interestingly, neither side has made any adjustments to the game lineup so far.

Yang Hao made some changes in the starting lineup in this game.

Goalkeeper: Casillas;

Defense: Arbeloa, Puyol, Pepe and Ramos;
Midfield: Busquets goes deep, Iniesta and Xavi are in the middle;
Forwards: David Silva, Torres and Villa.

Yang Hao adjusted the starting players in two positions.

One is a single midfielder.

Xabi Alonso suffered from muscle soreness after the game against England, so Yang Hao chose to rest him in this game and let Busquets take his place.

The other one is left back.

Antonio Lopez is on the bench and Capdevila is not in the squad for this game.

Yang Hao chose to use Arbeloa as the left back because he valued his defensive ability, and he played with his right foot against his right foot. Robben, who is good at defensively cutting inside, would undoubtedly be a very good choice.

If you encounter a team where the full-backs are good at attacking from behind, such as Brazil, then Yang Hao will definitely not dare to do this.

Because this will make it more difficult to defend on the left side.

But in the Dutch team, it's not a big problem.

Dutch right back Van der Wiel should pay attention to David Silva. The offense relies more on Robben in front.

To a certain extent, as long as Robben is frozen, the Dutch team's offensive threat will be greatly reduced.

Robben's sharpest weapon is to dribble the ball in from the right and hit the goal with his left foot.

Arbeloa is very good at defending such players. For example, in Yang Hao's previous life, his famous game was to freeze Messi.

However, as a result, the team's frontcourt offensive threat has been somewhat affected.

After all, in the past, Antonio Lopez's late penetration was also an important weapon in Spain's offense.

In this game, the Dutch team's defense was very well organized and very violent.

Almost from the first minute of the game, the Dutch team adopted a very aggressive defensive strategy and frequently tackled Spanish players on the court.

Although not as brutal as Yang Hao's previous life, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, it was still very violent.

It's not surprising if you think about it carefully. After all, it's only the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and the Netherlands doesn't have the determination to go all out.

The current Dutch team has not shown the confidence and determination to challenge for the championship.

In Yang Hao's previous life, after playing in the World Cup final, Dutch coach Van Marwijk personally apologized to Del Bosque because he also felt that his team played too dirty.

There is nothing you can do on the court, but off the court, everyone is embarrassed.

Therefore, the Dutch team has not yet reached that level of risk.

But their physical fitness and condition are very good, and the players are also very well organized.

Whether it is the defense line or the double midfielder, the defensive protection and defensive organization are all done flawlessly.

And they actively adopt the tactics of pressing up front.

This is obviously what Mourinho did.

But unlike Mourinho's style of play, van Marwijk obviously knew that the defensive skills of Dutch players were not as good as Chelsea or Barcelona after Mourinho's training, so he adopted a man-to-man defensive tactic. .

Man-to-man tactics are also the reason they commit too many fouls.

Obviously, the Dutch team wanted to use this kind of fierce pressing and even aggressive defense with obvious provocation to contain and even stimulate the Spanish players.

Yang Hao repeatedly emphasized and reminded during the halftime break that he hoped the players would remain patient and focused.

La Liga's tactics have flourished over the years, and they come into play at times like this.

Whether it is Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia, they have all encountered teams that strictly defend and even adopt aggressive foul tactics, which makes the players' mentality more acceptable.

The Dutch team also made no substitutions.

It's clear that Van Marwijk is waiting for his chance.

Yang Hao raised his head and glanced at the time on the scoreboard. It had just entered 70 minutes.

"Busquets played very smartly in this game and did a good job."

Seeing Yang Hao coming back, Li Luo praised him.

Busquets has indeed improved a lot during his time at Atletico Madrid.

The most important thing is that he is really smart and is the kind of player who has a strong ability to read the game.

He seems to be running well, but in fact, he can always run to prevent himself from appearing in the opponent's blocking line, so that when his teammates want to pass the ball, he can always maintain a stable receiving point.

This is very rare.

Xabi Alonso and Busquets both have this ability.

But the real problem is Holland's defence.

However, Yang Hao was not in a hurry.

"Tonight, due to the constraints of the double midfielders, our two central midfielders did not push forward hard enough, and there were relatively few players in the frontcourt, resulting in our offense being less than ideal tonight." Lillo gave the disadvantage of the offense. s reason.

Yang Hao also agrees with this.

There is always a saying in football matches: create a numerical advantage in a local area.

In the final analysis, input and output are directly proportional.

The more people in the frontcourt who are involved in the offense, the more obvious the effect will be.

The double defensive midfielders of Van Bommel and De Jong formed a containment for Xavi and Iniesta.

On the left wing of the Netherlands, Van Bronckhorst partners with Kuyt. Both players are players with strong execution ability and rich experience.

On the right are Robben and Van der Wiel.

Robben is not very willing to engage in defense. He mainly takes on the defensive burden.

Vanderveer is younger.

Because of this, Yang Hao's key attack tonight is on the left.

But David Silva lost the support of Antonio Lopez behind him and his performance was not ideal.

Moreover, Torres in the middle did not suppress Matteisen and Heitinga enough. "Tonight, Torres' interspersed movements were restricted by Matteisen and Heitinga. Van Marwijk obviously guessed our intention." Yang Hao said with a smile.

That's how it is in the knockout rounds, you restrain me and I restrain you.

Yang Hao will guess the Dutch tactics, and so will Van Marwijk.

The two central defenders, Heitinga and Matteisson, have obvious characteristics. They are not tall, relatively flexible, and can keep up with Torres.

This resulted in the deep running and sprinting that Torres was originally best at, not being evident in the game.

Coupled with the existence of double midfielders and the lack of strength on David Silva's side, it was difficult to pass the ball to Torres' feet when Spain's entire offense advanced to the thirty-meter area.

This was the result of Van Marwijk's targeted tactics.

But this does not mean that Spain was completely useless in the first 70 minutes.

You know, football matches last 90 minutes.

"How is the current physical condition of the Dutch team?" Yang Hao asked the physical coach Rocca.

He would keep a close eye on the performance of both the enemy and our players during the game. Yang Hao and others also specially summarized a data called participation, which can more intuitively see the player's participation in the game.

What reflects behind this is the state and physical exertion of the players.

When encountering such a defensive team, usually after 70 minutes, no matter how physically fit the team is, they will have to take a discount.

"It's obviously dropped a lot. The most obvious thing is their full-court press. Their synergy is much worse than in the first half." Rocca replied.

The so-called synergy means that everyone keeps the same pace and rhythm. If they want to be forced, they will press together and if they want to retreat, they will retreat together.

Poor synergy, it is easy for disconnection and defensive loopholes to occur.

"Van Marwijk still has a hidden talent. Van der Vaart has been coming out to warm up. He is probably going to come on as a substitute at the right time."

After Van der Vaart comes on, he usually replaces one of Van Bommel and De Jong to strengthen the team's midfield organization.

On the whole, most of the tactics Yang Hao deployed tonight performed well.

For example, Arbeloa did a great job in freezing Robben.

This made Robben a little anxious. At the beginning of the second half, he kicked Arbeloa during a counterattack and received a yellow card.

"Van Marwijk is waiting for us to make a move." Guardiola said.

Yang Hao nodded.

He is also considering whether to make substitutions at this time?
In the current situation, Torres spent 70 minutes with the opponent's two central defenders, and his physical fitness is almost exhausted, so the effect will not be very good, and his role on the court will not be very great.

Entering the 70th minute, after the players' physical fitness declined, the Dutch team would only retreat further and defend more resolutely.

Llorente is more suitable to play in this environment, holding up the two Dutch central defenders in the frontcourt to get the ball.

In the past, when Yang Hao played Llorente, he was often paired with Joaquin.

But this time, Yang Hao decided to change.

"Get ready to replace!"

……

"It's indeed Llorente, and..."

Van Marwijk noticed the two players beside Yang Hao and couldn't help but frown.

"It's not Joaquin, it's Cesc Fabregas."

Yang Hao has always been elusive in his use of troops. He is very good at selecting the most suitable players at the most suitable time.

So much so that every substitution he makes can be effective.

Joaquin can provide Spain with a breakthrough from the wing, what about Cesc Fabregas?
He can provide Spain with forward passes and the ability to score goals from the back row.

Many people ignore that Fabregas is actually a forward.

Van Marwijk guessed the timing of Yang Hao's substitution, but he didn't guess Yang Hao's candidate, which made him feel a little flustered and even worried.

The Dutch team had previously conducted drills specifically targeting Llorente, mainly because the two central defenders in the Netherlands were short.

马泰森才1米83，海廷加更是只有1米8，而略伦特身高足足有1米95。

Llorente's height advantage, coupled with Joaquin's breakthroughs and crosses from the right, are still very threatening.

Even if Llorente can't score, he can still disrupt the defense and create opportunities for his teammates around him.

But now, Yang Hao doesn't go to Joaquin.

"You should still want to play pass control, use Llorente to suppress our central defender, and get the ball and play in the frontcourt." Fern reminded.

Van Marwijk thinks it makes sense.

So, he immediately made adjustments, but still didn't make any substitutions.

Because his best players are already on the court.

……

"Spain made two substitutions in one go."

"This is a battle between world-class coaches. It is difficult for us to guess Yang Hao's intentions for the time being."

"But he replaced Torres with Llorente, obviously to strengthen the offensive power of the frontcourt, and replaced David Silva with Fabregas, which was a strategy to strengthen forward passing."

"We saw that after the substitutions, Villa still stayed on the right, while Iniesta appeared on the left."

"This also means that Spain's overall tactics will not change significantly."

But soon, everyone realized that the problem was not that simple.

After the substitution, Spain's right-side attack has obviously been strengthened.

Ramos began to press forward more actively, focusing on Van Bronckhorst's side.

Kuyt actively retreated to help his teammates behind him.

When Ramos moves forward, Villa wants to get closer to Llorente.

And Fabregas, he is more like a No. 10 player than a central midfielder in Spain's 433 tactics.

This is completely different from the past.

"After all, he is a world-famous coach. Yang Hao's on-the-spot adjustments have changed the team's style of play."

"Spain's current attack is very different from before."

"Pass the ball forward more actively, using Llorente's control in the frontcourt to suppress the two Dutch central defenders."

"Fabregas not only passes the ball forward more, but he also positions and moves further forward."

"This creates a whole new offensive formation."

"Look at this time, the cross from Ramos on the right."

"It landed in the penalty area, Llorente grabbed the first spot, passed it back, and landed at the top of the arc."

"Harvey comes up and knocks on the door!"

"The ball went slightly wide."

"Spain is now clearly investing forces at the front of the penalty area."

The continuous attacks, especially Ramos's aggressive forwards on the right and his physical running back and forth, created a lot of noise in the frontcourt.

But at the same time, neither Arbeloa nor Busquets moved.

The two targeted Robben and Sneijder respectively.

This ensures the stability of Spain's defense.

……

Iniesta is constantly observing the situation on the court.

Especially looking at the movement of his teammates and the positioning of the Dutch defenders.

His mind recalled the instructions given by head coach Yang Hao when Fabregas came on the field.

Pay attention to the ribs.

No need for Yang Hao to say more, Iniesta knew the boss's intention.

Before the game, Yang Hao told them when preparing for the game that the distance between Van der Wiel and central defender Heitinga could easily grow.

The Dutch right-back does not have a strong sense of position.

Especially when the Dutch defense line moves to the right as a whole, Van der Wiel is always unable to recover immediately and maintain a suitable distance. This results in a certain gap between the right back and the right center back.

David Silva is the best at taking advantage of this kind of gap in the ribs.

But in the previous 70 minutes, Spain failed to attack several times.

Lack of threat on the right.

De Jong and Van Bommel were not pulled over.

This resulted in that although the Dutch defense had gaps, Spain could not take advantage of it.

David Silva tried to run several times, but was blocked by De Jong.

Yang Hao now wants to further open up the Dutch defensive gap, use the right and center to invest troops, and let Iniesta run into this gap.

Replace David Silva?
The main reason is that he spent a lot of energy tonight and his physical fitness is somewhat unable to keep up. At the same time, he was figured out by his opponent.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to replace Iniesta.

Xiaobai knows his responsibilities very well.

He kept observing his surroundings and waiting for opportunities.

In the 81st minute, Ramos moved forward to receive the ball from the right again, preparing to attack along the wing.

This Atletico Madrid teammate's physical fitness is indeed very good, and he is very energetic and has a very strong desire to win.

Even now, he can still run and sprint back and forth non-stop.

The Dutch defense is tilting to the right.

Llorente leaned over, Fabregas also leaned over, plus Villa and Ramos.

Spain has made it clear that it wants to attack this side.

Iniesta is still wandering outside the left rib, looking like he is widening the defensive width.

Robben is back too.

In such an important game, if the Dutch Peter Pan is unwilling to invest in defense, he will have to come back.

Because he doesn't want to lose.

But Robben has always been unwilling to invest in defense, and Van der Wiel will not give Robben the task of defending Iniesta.

After seeing that Xiaobai had no intention of running to the middle, Vandeveer felt relieved.

Spain's attack on the right failed to threaten. Llorente on the forward line protected the ball before passing it back to Fabregas.

At this time, Iniesta chose to run laterally towards the center, allowing Van der Wiel and Robben to follow him.

Both are wary of Iniesta.

Fabregas was unable to pass the ball to Iniesta and was forced to pass it back to Xavi.

Xavi's position was relatively deep, leaning towards the center, while Sneijder cut off the connection between Xavi and Busquets, so De Jong chose to attack.

Iniesta is between Van der Wiel and Robben.

He has been using his movement to control the distance between Van der Wiel and Heitinga.

When he saw Harvey receiving the ball, he immediately ran back and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

This immediately made Vanderveer move forward.

But the next moment, after Iniesta took a step back, he turned around and sprinted forward quickly, rushing directly past Van der Wiel.

With Robben following, Van der Wiel was relieved not to commit a foul as Iniesta passed by.

But the next second, he regretted it!
Harvey made a direct pass, accurately from around the 30-meter area to the left side of the penalty area.

The passing line happens to be in the gap between Van der Wiel and Heitinga.

And between Van der Wiel and football, there is Iniesta, who moves deep.

Robben followed Iniesta, but his position was on the outside.

He hadn't noticed the problem just now, but when Vanderveer reacted, he was completely shocked.

Generally speaking, when defending deep forward penetration, defensive players must give priority to inside interception.

why?
This is the iron law for defensive players!
The so-called sense of position is to cut off the connection between the offensive player and the goal.

But after Van der Wiel let Iniesta pass, Robben desperately chased back on the outside, but Iniesta ran on the inside.

And the most terrible thing is that David Silva is left-footed, and Iniesta is right-footed!
After realizing this, Vanderveer felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the first thought that came to his mind was to pray.

Great God, please, please don't let him catch the ball.

It must be difficult to stop a pass from such a distance, right?

The goalkeeper should also attack, right?

Stekelenberg is in very good shape this World Cup. He should be able to get the ball first, right?
Even if Iniesta barely stops the ball, it won't be easy to hit the goal, right?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Vanderveer's mind in an instant.

But in the next step, he was stunned to see that Robben was chasing the outside, but he was always one position behind and could not interfere with Iniesta's right foot to handle the ball.

Xiaobai rushed into the left side of the penalty area and stopped Harvey's pass.

Time seemed to slow down very slowly at this moment.

Xiaobai's ability to stop the ball was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Especially when he saw Stekelenberg decisively abandoning the goal and rushing toward him, he suddenly stopped.

At this moment, Iniesta's mind is particularly clear.

Because he saw that both Llorente and Villa were rushing towards the right post of the penalty area, obviously waiting for his pass.

All the attention of Heitinga and Matteisson is on the two forwards, both of whom are watching out for Iniesta's pass.

Stekelenberg even started to open his arms to block Iniesta's shooting angle as much as possible.

But at this moment, Xiaobai didn't pass the ball.

When forming a single, Iniesta calmly pushed with his right foot.

Stekelenpot blocked the ball, but the ball missed his outstretched leg, flew under his nose, and landed in the empty goal behind him.

Heitinga chased back crazily, surpassing Stekelenberg, surpassing everyone, and rushed to the goal. The moment the football was about to hit the net, he flew and kicked out, trying to clear the ball. go out.

As a result, Heitinga dribbled the ball directly into the Dutch national team's goal.

At this moment, the entire Ellis Park stadium became silent.

As they got closer, the audience burst into unprecedented cheers.

The passion that had been suppressed for more than an hour was completely released at this moment.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Spain finally broke through the Dutch team's goal in the 81st minute!"

"A fatal blow from Iniesta!"

"At the critical moment, Atletico Madrid's midfielder used a calm single shot to score the Dutch goal!"

"1 to 0!"

"Oh my god, I feel like my whole body is on fire."

"With a draw of more than 80 minutes, it can be said that the Dutch team tried every means in this game to contain Spain's attack, and they did succeed."

"But at the critical moment, Yang Hao's on-the-spot command and substitutions made Spain's offense greatly improve."

"In the 81st minute, after attracting the defensive attention on the right, Xavi suddenly passed the ball behind him. Iniesta successfully reversed offside from the left rib and scored a single goal, breaking the Dutch team's goal!"

"We saw Vandeveer squatting on the court, holding his head with a painful expression on his face."

"Obviously the Dutch defenders are aware of their problem."

"He didn't follow Iniesta right away."

"Iniesta has never been known for his speed. This time, he also had a very clever fake move before he stepped in."

"Vanderveer obviously wanted to ask his teammate Robben to follow, but Robben was on the outside and Iniesta was on the inside. This made it difficult for Robben to stop Iniesta's single shot."

"This has to be the worst mistake the Dutch team has made in the entire game so far."

"It was this mistake that cost the Dutch team a heavy price!"

……

Yang Hao and the assistants around him all hugged each other.

The moment Iniesta scored, they all knew that the formation in this game was working.

Especially Yang Hao's substitution.

Llorente was replaced, but Joaquin was not replaced, but Cesc Fabregas was arranged to play. This was definitely beyond Van Marwijk's expectation.

The subsequent game trends also proved the idea that Yang Hao had made clear when he first coached Spain.

That is to enrich the team's skills and tactics as much as possible, especially the offensive methods.

Llorente is not the kind of rough guy who only has body and strength. On the contrary, he was born in La Liga and has good foot skills.

At this time, Yang Hao used him to suppress the Dutch defense, abandoning winger Joaquin, and instead seized on the Dutch team's weakness and struck a fatal blow. This is definitely a masterstroke.

As for Van der Wiel, Spain was actually fighting from the beginning, and it was not until the 81st minute that Iniesta reaped the results.

After Yang Hao laughed and hugged and shook hands with his assistants, he high-fived and hugged the players who ran wildly out of the stadium to celebrate.

By the time everyone returned to the court, Van Marwijk was ready to make substitutions.

He replaced De Jong with Van der Vaart, who already had a yellow card.

At the same time, he replaced Kuyt with teenager Elia to strengthen the team's offense.

After two consecutive substitutions, Van Marwijk made his third substitution in the 83rd minute.

Huntelaar replaces Van der Wiel.

Three defenders, two forwards.

The Netherlands is about to fight back!
