I'm a striker

Chapter 649 The Rhythm of the Knockout Competition
In the group stage, the Chinese team scored nine goals in three games, while the Netherlands scored ten goals in three games.

The excellent firepower of the two teams has also made many fans look forward to this round of [-] match becoming a confrontational battle.

But those fans who think so must be disappointed.

Although the head coaches of the two teams shouted to play offensive football before the game, it was not until the knockout match started that everyone knew that the rhythm of the knockout match was completely different from that of the group stage.

The number of goals scored in this World Cup in Brazil is very large, so this World Cup in Brazil is also known as the best-looking one in recent years.

However, after the match between the Chinese team and the Dutch team started, people found that the rhythm of the game was too slow!

The advancement of the Dutch team always has to go through many passes and transfers, and the Chinese team does not seem to be in a hurry, unless the Dutch team hits their position, the two teams are very patient.

"I think this is the familiar rhythm of the competition." Gary Lineker felt that he was somewhat spoiled by the Brazil World Cup group stage.After all, it is common sense that the more important the game, the less attractive it is.

"The defense line of the Chinese team is very stable, but as far as I know, Zheng is not a fast player, and their new midfielder is also good at interception and defense. I am looking forward to how their offense will unfold. "Martincher got the answer quickly after saying this.

Zheng Zhi intercepted the ball in midfield and handed the ball to Hao Junmin.

It was found that, except for Du Yang who stepped forward to respond, none of the other players in the Chinese team wanted to move forward.

After Du Yang and Hao Junmin responded, facing Dutch midfielder Villardum, Hao Junmin quickly changed direction and pulled the ball with one foot, and handed the ball to Song in an instant. Rentou's feet.

Facing Impe who was defending him, Song Rento also made a shoulder fake. The Dutch team's defense did not dare to neglect, and Vlaar and De Jong both came to defend.

Song Rentou saw the opportunity and directly flicked the ball forward. Yinpei didn't expect Song Rentou to be so bold, but De Jong, who returned to defense, pushed Song Rentou down.

The Chinese team won a set kick in the frontcourt.

"Hey man, I'm standing still," Impe complained to De Jong.

De Jong was also warned by referee Perez.

"Nan Peipei, Bei Derong!" Song Rentou smiled wryly. In fact, he really didn't have a good chance just now. He singled out the defense of the Dutch team, which had not declined in stamina, and it was still a five-man defense. It was not difficult. Little!

"I think the Chinese team's tactic today is to let Song and their No. [-] (Hao Junmin) put pressure on the Dutch team's defense, and then the other players focus on defense." Gary Lineker interpreted the game.

"Yes, they didn't think about relying entirely on the counterattack to score goals. The counterattack will be dominated by harassment. But the Dutch team will also suffer because they don't want to give Song Into a chance, which is why De Jong would rather foul just now. The reason is also to bring down Song." Martinshall analyzed.

In the frontcourt, Hao Junmin set the ball up, "Captain, let me kick."

Song Rentou nodded. In fact, Song Rentou can draw the fallen leaves at this distance, but after scoring twice in the game against Croatia, Hao Junmin is in good condition.

Anyway, it's still early in the game, so it's not bad for Hao Junmin to find his feet.

"Look at the ball. Hao Junmin scored a goal from a set ball in the group stage." Xu Yang also became nervous all of a sudden.

"Song Rentou ran into the Dutch team's human wall. It seems to be a wall-breaking tactic." Duan Xuan said.

On the court, watching Song Rentou squeezed over, Impe gave him a push.

Song Rentou also made a helpless gesture of complaining to the referee. Perez asked Hao Junmin to suspend taking the penalty, but went to mediate.

In the end, Song Rentou got into the Dutch team's human wall, but although Hao Junmin's ball jumped over the human wall, he was not strong enough, and was picked off by Simsun.

Hao Junmin felt a little regretful, he should have worked harder just now.

In fact, the goalkeeper Simsen of the Dutch team was also taken aback when he stood up after throwing the ball, because it was Song Rentou standing in front of him.

"Didn't he just demolish the walls for his teammates? So fast." Simson finally realized that if he had let go just now, the consequences would be disastrous.

In fact, Song Rentou's demolition of the wall just now was just a cover. He wanted to see if Simson would make a mistake, and took the opportunity to pick up the leak.

The so-called striker is to constantly try these opportunities. It is not shameful to pick up the misses, but the shame is not to pick up the misses.

The game continued, and it was the turn of the Dutch team to organize. In order to deal with Robben, the players of the Chinese team often need three people to attack together. Let the Chinese team player Mei Fang have to pull him down.

The Dutch team won a left frontcourt positioning kick, and the Dutch team's central defenders have also rushed up.

The one who took the set kick was my teacher Sneijder. Sneijder's footwork is quite good. The Dutch team's frontcourt set kicks are basically played by him. Of course, sometimes Robben also kicks.

Unfortunately, Sneijder's shot was cleared by Zheng Zhi.

"Can the defense of the Chinese team fly in a fly?" Gary Lineker joked.

"The Chinese call it impenetrable." Martinshall mocked Gary Lineker's cultural level.

The Dutch team was very patient. After they won the second point, they slowly passed back and reorganized.

"The Dutch team is looking for the weaknesses and weak links of the Chinese team's defense. You see, the transfer and scheduling back and forth is to open up the field, so that the weak links of the Chinese team's defense will be pulled out bit by bit." France National TV, Wenger's explanation is indeed professional enough.

The Dutch team played very calmly, and they didn't underestimate the enemy like their relaxed expressions.

Because they know very well that if they are not careful, they will become a stepping stone for the Chinese team.

For the Dutch golden generation, they hope to make up for the regret of not winning the last World Cup in this World Cup.

So all Dutch players accepted Van Gaal's defensive counterattack tactics.

In the group stage, their five-to-one victory over Spain was a classic in defensive counterattacks.

"Be patient, don't kick randomly, don't make mistakes, how can Spain be undefeated?" Looking at the orderly Dutch team, Song Rentou also admired.

Ten minutes into the first half of the game, although there was a lot of physical contact between the two sides, there were no malicious fouls, and the game was relatively peaceful.

Both sides are careful.

In particular, although the Chinese team did not play many halftime games, as long as Song Rentou got the ball, the Dutch team's defense would still be very tense.

"Song has been surrounded by the Dutch defenders!" Brazil's national television, Ronaldo said.

"The Dutch also understand the truth that no one can let go of this dangerous guy!" Clarkson sighed. In fact, the Brazilian is still worried about losing to the Chinese team in the opening game.

"How?" Robben asked Sneijder taking advantage of a dead ball.

"I haven't observed anything yet, why don't you try to break through?" Sneijder spread his hands and said to Robben.

Robben shook his head, "It's not easy to break through, there is no space, but it can be cut inside."

"There are quite a few people walking in, are the Chinese planning to stick to it to the end?" Sneijder was a little speechless.

"There will definitely be a chance." Robben was not worried.

Because the physical fitness of both sides will definitely decline as the game progresses, then Robben's speed advantage can come in handy.

This striker, who is good at passing people with small steps, showed his super running ability in the forced overtaking when he played against Spain.

Robben's physical fitness is quite good.

This is also the reason why many FM players complain about live football. Robben runs more than 75 meters per game, and your physical fitness is only [-]. In reality, Robben can't run to death. In the game, the slot will be empty after half a game... …

Real football is entirely to limit a certain player from being too open and deliberately reduce a certain attribute. This approach has to be said to be biased.

Van Gaal was chatting with the assistant coach on the bench of the Dutch team, while Gao Hongbo was still standing on the sidelines with a serious face.

Instead, the Chinese team got a chance first.

After Hao Junmin turned around to protect the ball in the frontcourt, the players of the Dutch team blocked Song Rentou's forward line ahead of time, but Du Yang suddenly inserted from behind.

Hao Junmin directly gave the ball to Du Yang. Under the attraction of Song Rentou, Du Yang seemed to move forward unimpeded, and finally completed a shot outside the top of the penalty area.

The ball was dragged out by goalkeeper Simsen of the Dutch team with a single palm, and the Chinese team got a corner kick.

Simson, who made the save, was a little dissatisfied with the team's defense, "Keep an eye on them! Guys, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Yes, our offense needs some changes. Xiao Du's breakthrough just now was very beautiful. It's just a pity that the shot was a little bit wider!" Xu Yang also sighed regretfully.

Du Yang shook his head. It seems that he needs to strengthen the training of shooting in the future.

At the corner kick, the defenders of the Chinese team did not go up completely. Zhang Linpeng, Mei Fang and Ren Hang went up to compete for the top, while the other players still stuck to the half.

After all, if he was cleared by the Dutch team and quickly launched a counterattack, Robben's speed would be terrifying...

But I was really afraid of something, Hao Junmin's set ball was pushed out by Yinpei, and the ball happened to land next to Peter Pan.

I saw Robben pushing his chest forward, and then immediately started to speed up. Veteran Zheng Zhi had no choice but to pull Robben down.

The referee Perez also showed Zheng Zhi a yellow card.

"It's such a pity. If I rushed over just now, it would be three-on-four at once." Snedra said from Robben.

Robben smiled. Although Zheng Zhi pushed him down just now, he rolled around on the spot a few times, but that was for the referee to give Zheng Zhi a yellow card.

"The Chinese team will not give me such an opportunity now." Robben is very clear that the players of the Chinese team are still physically fit, and there are not many fouls and yellow cards on their bodies, so the pressure to defend him is not too great.

"We have to give them a little damage." Sneijder said to Robben.

Robben also looked at Robin Van Persie, who nodded to him.
