Iron Man on the pitch

The Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth was filled with fans, half orange and half dark red, clearly distinguished.

The fans of both sides opened their voices and sang the songs of their respective teams to express their support for the team.

Holding the hand of the caddie, the players of the Portuguese and the Netherlands walked out of the player channel and towards the center of the stadium.

Joao Moutinho, who was a little nervous off the court, felt much more relaxed after coming to the court. He poked Li Ling with some jealousy: "Why are you so many female fans?"

In the stands not far away, a group of female fans wearing Portuguese jerseys No. 10 held up the portrait of Li Ling and kept posing at them.

"Hehe, you're handsome, there's nothing you can do." Li Ling raised his head proudly and smiled proudly.

As Li Ling's actions, the group of female fans made screams that could pierce the eardrums, among which the shouts of "Opa" and "Li Sang" were endless.

"It turns out that they are not all Portuguese. By the way, those girls in East Asia are not fans of your hometown, aren't they?" Because of Li Ling, Joao Moutinho, who had learned a few Chinese, felt that something was wrong with these female fans. .

"Well, no." Li Ling was a little amused. These female fans looked East Asian from the outside, but they were exposed as soon as they opened their mouths. Why were they all kimchi and Sakura girls?

But after thinking about it, Li Ling felt relieved. After all, in China, basketball is the most popular sports, and the number of fans who like to watch football is even worse than basketball fans. Coupled with the consistent poor performance of the Chinese national football team and not entering this World Cup, the enthusiasm of fans naturally decreased a lot.

After all, the current Internet celebrity economy has not yet developed. Most of the people who can go abroad to watch football are because they love the sport of football. There are not many of these people, and even fewer people are willing to support themselves.

As for why the kimchi girl and Sakura girl are willing to support themselves, Li Ling thinks that one is because she looks as handsome as readers, and the other is that after they were eliminated from their own country, they placed some special emotions on themselves who are also East Asian yellow people. It's on it.

"But in my opinion they look quite average," Joao Moutinho completely relaxed and began to joke with Li Ling. "If I hadn't found out that you had a girlfriend, I would have prepared my cousin to do so. Introduce it to you.”

"Haha," Li Ling smiled, "She must be a good girl, but she should stay away from me."

As Ronaldo and Van Bronkhorst guessed the coins, the game officially began.

The Dutch team wearing an orange jersey kicked off first, and they formed a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper: Stirklenberg.

Defenders: Van der Wel, Heatinga, Oye, Van Bronkhorst.

Middleback: Van Bomel, De Jong.

Midfielders: Kuyt, Sneider, Robben.

Forward: Van Persie.

The Portuguese team wearing a white jersey is still in the 4-5-1 formation.

Goalkeeper: Eduardo.

Defenders: Paul Ferreira, Ricardo Carvalho, Bruno Alves, Coentrand.

Midfielders: Li Ling, Pepe, Joao Moutinho, Raul Mereles, Nani.

Forward: Ronaldo.

In order to strengthen the defense, the Portuguese team started by Pepe and occupied a position in the midfield.

After the Dutch team kicked off, they handed the ball to Sneijder. Van Persie, Robben and Kuyt rushed to the rear of the Portuguese team like three horses.

Because the Portuguese team's formation was relatively loose at the beginning, and the players' state had not been raised yet. In terms of whether to target man defense or create offside, Ricardo Carvalho and Bruno Alves had a difference, and almost went on Robben succeeded in offside.

It was not that they defended it, but that Sneider did not pass the ball because Li Ling rushed up quickly and blocked his passing route.

Sneijder tried twice and found that he could not get rid of Li Ling's defense. If he continued to get involved, he would probably lose the ball, so he had to pass it back.

Sneider was surprised: "Isn't this kid a European Golden Boot? Why is he so hard in defense?"

Although head coach Van Markville repeatedly emphasized Li Ling's danger in his pre-match arrangement, it is better to meet than to meet, and it is better to try it yourself than to meet. Sneijder still wants to test Li Ling's defensive strength, if not said How strong?

But the result was a bit bad. He couldn't break through the defense of a player who is famous for his offense. Fortunately, Sneider was not Li Ling on both offense and defense, which made him feel relieved.

For Sneijder, who is 170cm, it is not a comfortable thing to fight against the tall and strong Li Ling.

But the Dutch team's offense andIt wouldn't be that Sneider failed because he didn't dominate the ball. After a few passes, the football was handed over to right winger Robben.

There is a saying in football: The whole world knows that Robben needs to cut inward, but he just can't defend himself.

Portugal's young left-back Cointran had to face this situation.

Although Coentrane is much more handsome than Robben, especially with her thick blonde hair, unfortunately, on the football field, her appearance cannot be converted into combat power in equal proportions. Faced with Robben's incision, Coentrane's performance was a bit embarrassing.

Robben's foot swung and then turned sideways, and Cointran felt a little unable to follow. Fortunately, Coentrand's foundation is not bad, and even if he reacts half a beat slower, he can barely keep up with Robben's footsteps. Although it is impossible to stop Robben from cutting inward, he can interfere when he shoots.

In the third minute of the game, Robben completed an inward cut shot, but in order to avoid Coentran's interference, Robben's shot angle was a bit off and flew out of the post very far.

Portugal immediately returned to his face. One minute later, Ronaldo pulled to the left and also used an inward cut to test Dutch full-back Van der Welter.

The young defender from Ajax was unable to stop Ronaldo's breakthrough and quickly called the midfielder Van Bomel to come and support him.

With the combined efforts of the two, they blocked Ronaldo's breakthrough, but what they didn't expect was that after Ronaldo shook his absentia, he passed it into the penalty area with a pass. Li Ling, who had already penetrated forward, jumped high and beat Aoye. Head attacking the goal.

The football almost flew out of the baseline against the post, causing the Portuguese supporters on the stadium to sigh with regret, and made the fans of the Dutch team smile after the disaster.

The commentator sent by China was Niu Jianhong. He was introducing the players and quickly explained the situation on the court: "We saw that as soon as the game started, the Dutch team and the Portuguese team started a fierce attack."

"It seems that both sides are determined to win this game. Without unnecessary temptation, they directly launched an attack."

"The offense and defense of both sides is very fast, and the star players in their respective teams directly launched the attacks based on their personal abilities. I have a premonition that this game will be very exciting."
