The 15-minute half-time break quickly passed unknowingly. After a short break, the players from both sides returned to the court and prepared for the second half of the game.

Compared with the first half, the Dutch team did not change their tactics in the second half of the game, while still maintaining a great offensive intensity.Cocu and Bergkamp are constantly instigating the offensive in the middle. After the four players on the side break through or pass to the supporting teammate or cut inside to form a shot, all in all, it is to use a tide-like offensive to penetrate bit by bit. Tortoise shells for the Italians!

Anyone who has played football knows that in a football game, the defensive side will always face much greater pressure than the offensive side.After all, you can wait for the next opportunity if you miss a shot, but if you make a defensive mistake, it will often lead to the birth of a goal.

Even if Italy has the most powerful defense line in the world, facing the seemingly endless attack of the Netherlands, it is impossible for the Nestas to maintain a high degree of concentration all the time, and there will definitely be moments of slack .Therefore, for the Dutch players, as long as they can grasp one or two of these opportunities, it should not be a problem to break through the Italian goal and win the game.

Although the Dutchman's calculations were clinking, judging from the performance of the Italian players in the first 10 minutes of the second half, Nesta's attention was still very focused.The Netherlands' offense was either blocked by them cleanly outside the penalty area, or they directly destroyed it with a more straightforward foul. All in all, the Dutch have not found a way to achieve this goal yet the right way.

In desperation, Overmars and others had to frequently fire outside the penalty area, trying to penetrate the opponent's defense line through long-range shots.However, under the oppression of Italy's extremely tight defensive system, the effect of this long-range shot is obviously not ideal.

Even if Nesta and the others are occasionally slack or negligent in defense and fail to stop Zenden and Overmars's shots that took advantage of the loopholes, Toldo, who is in extremely brave form tonight, can block all of these shots Outside the goal, the opponent is not even given the opportunity to make up shots.

It has to be said that the defensive work of the Italian national team in this life is better than that of the Apennines coached by Zoff in the previous life.At this point, Zambrotta, the main right back, was not the same as in history. In the first half of the game, he was sent off by Merck for two fouls. As a result, Italy had to face a team with one less player in the next game. The unfavorable situation can be seen.

The reason for this change in Italy mainly comes from two aspects.One is the tactical change brought about by the rise of Florence to Italian football. Following Herrera's chain defense theory and Sacchi's zone defense theory, Viola, which absorbed the characteristics of the first two, went a step further. More emphasis on the importance of running, forming a numerical advantage in a small area, thereby improving the success rate of defense, instead of just focusing on blocking the opponent's passing route and not encircling the defense as before; The second point is that the main players of the national team such as Zambrotta, Nesta, and Toldo are much more mature than the same period in history. They have accumulated extremely rich game experience after following Fiorentina for many years. that they simply don't have.

These players in the Netherlands are not vegetarian either. Faced with Italy's strong and strict defensive system, they are aroused with arrogance in their hearts. Get a ticket to the Euro Cup final!

So, in the second half, this contest of spear and shield continued to be shown in front of the fans!

No.409 minutes, Bergkamp passed the ball to the forward Kluivert with an imaginative long-distance pass. Nesta and Cannavaro sandwiched the Dutch center one after the other. In the middle, it was forced to fail to receive the pass from the Ice Prince smoothly.In the end, taking advantage of Nesta's opportunity to block Kluivert, Cannavaro took the lead to clear the ball out of the penalty area!

Zenden, who got the ball outside the penalty area, did not hesitate to pass the ball into the penalty area again. This time, Nesta made the clearance. Kluivert, who was blocked by Cannavaro, still failed to receive his teammates the pass.

Three minutes later, the Dutch made a comeback.The right back Bosvelt, who assisted and stepped forward, passed the ball to Kluivert in the penalty area without waiting for the Italian player to double-team. The latter still failed to receive the pass despite Nesta's interference The ball, the ball was cleared out of the penalty area by Nesta.

It was still Zenden, still receiving the ball from outside the penalty area on the left, but this time the Dutch winger did not choose to pass the ball to his own center forward, but volleyed directly from the front of the penalty area!Albertini, who had already retreated to the penalty area, tried to play a flying game to block the eye-catching scene, but unfortunately he was a beat slower but failed to touch the fast ball.

But fortunately, Albertini's failed blocking did not seem to have any impact on Toldo's judgment. The latter held the ball firmly in his arms with one hand!

"Damn it! Albertini is cheating! Luckily, Toldo is determined enough to not cause any trouble." When he saw the Milan team's deputy flying to block and failed, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but I was startled.Zenden's shot angle is very straight, and it would not have caused any trouble to Toldo who was already in his position, but if he was touched by Albertini halfway and changed direction, the consequences would be unpredictable.

After all, no matter how good Toldo is, he is not a superman. If the ball changes direction midway, he will definitely not have time to react if he has already made a save.

In the following time, the Dutch team still has an absolute advantage in terms of ball possession time and number of shots, but Italy is not easy to deal with. Toldo, Nesta and others will completely resolve the offensive of the Oranje. , At the same time, the occasional quick counterattack also surprised the Dutch fans.

However, when the game progressed to No. 601 minutes, there was another wave on the court: using the space left by Cannavaro after the rob, Cenden made a pick pass and handed the ball to Davis who quietly inserted , the latter stopped the ball in the chest and turned around to kill the penalty area.Seeing the bad situation, Materazzi, who came over to make up defense, quickly sent a tackle, but he didn't want to but put the Dutch wild boar on the line of the penalty area together with the ball!

Seeing that Davis's breakthrough was successfully destroyed, Materazzi breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to form a wall with his teammates to resist the next Dutch team's free kick in the frontcourt-he believed that his foul was in the penalty area Outside - when he looked around, he found that most of his teammates were talking around the referee, and their expressions were very strange.

Puzzled, Materazzi quickly took a closer look and found that the referee Merck's hand was pointing to his own twelve-yard point!

The Dutch team's second penalty kick in this game was born!
