Although the goal did not go in, it still made Spain break out in a cold sweat.

The ESPN commentator exclaimed: "After the game started, the Dutch team attacked from the right side, and the Dutch trident showed the world its tacit understanding, and finally Chen completed the shot. It's a pity that football was rejected by the post in the end, otherwise it would have been a classic attack! ”

On the pitch, the game started quickly, with Spain attacking and the Netherlands forming a defensive line in their own half.

The Sky Sports commentator said: "The so-called 'strikerless line-up' is a new formation created by Pep Guardiola.

As the name suggests, a lineup without a striker is a lineup without a striker. Although Spain's formation is four, three, three, three, but the three strikers are not really forwards, but midfielders!

The biggest advantage of the 'striker lineup' is that it can completely control the midfield by virtue of the advantage in the number of midfielders, which is the ultimate style of play of passing and control tactics!

Although there is no real striker in the 'strikerless lineup', any of the six in the midfield can become a striker at any time and attack the city for Spain.

It was with this line-up that they knocked Germany down in the semi-finals! ”

The commentator of France TV 2 said: "Spain firmly controlled the midfield with the advantage of the number and strength of the midfield, and the Netherlands had to retreat to their own half to defend!" ”

On the pitch, Spain were firmly in control of the football at their feet as they charged the Dutch defence.

In the seventh minute of the first half, Xavi's corner kick was driven to the middle, Ramos headed the goal, and the ball flew off the bottom line above the crossbar!

In the ninth minute of the first half, Sergio Busquets went through and Xavi hit the Dutch full-back with a long-range shot from the middle.

A minute later, Spain were back in the game when Cesc Fabregas picked up Silva's cross on the inside and abruptly shifted the ball to Xavi, who was unmarked in the middle.

"Bang! ……”

Xavi received the ball and fired a furious shot, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball!

Dutch goalkeeper Stekelenburg leaps forward, the ball flies over his fingertips, and then over the pitch over the crossbar!

"Boom! ……”

Once again, there was a loud cry of regret in the stadium.

Spain launched a stormy attack on the Netherlands, leaving the Netherlands breathless.

The Catalan TV commentator excitedly shouted: "Spain are in complete control of the game!" ”

The Dutch national TV commentator said worriedly: "It's troublesome to go on like this......"

The game restarted, and in the face of strong pressure from Spain, the Netherlands did not dare to invest too many troops in the attack, and the Dutch trident was isolated and difficult to pose a threat to the Spanish goal.

Football soon came to Spain again.

In the fourteenth minute of the first half, Xavi suddenly made a precise through kick in the heart of the Netherlands, and the football flew into the Dutch penalty area!

Cesc Fabregas flew forward, picked up on the right side, and knocked back near the baseline!

Silva hit the middle, a beautiful header rushed to the top, and the ball flew towards the goal!

The Dutch goalkeeper Stekelenburg, who attacked to block Cesc Fabregas, has no power to return at the moment, so he can only look back and watch the football fly into the net!

The ball is in!

Silva's goal exploded the stadium, with Spanish fans turning the stadium into a sea of red joy and the Dutch fans chilling.

Prior to Silva's goal, Spain had already had three dangerous shots on goal, while the Netherlands had only one.

To make matters worse, Spain were in complete control of the tempo on the pitch and had the football firmly at their feet, making it difficult for the Netherlands to launch a decent attack.

Is there any hope for such a race?

There was a boiling in the broadcast seat:

"Silva! Silva! The ball is in! Entered! Entered! Entered! ……”

"The ball is in! Spain has shown the world the power of a 'strikerless lineup'! Although they don't have a real striker, this makes the Netherlands not know who is the real killer of Spain, so they have no focus on defense! ”

"Except for the first few minutes of the game, football was basically controlled by Spain, who launched a stormy attack on the Netherlands! The Netherlands failed to withstand Spain's sharp attack, and the goal was broken in the 14th minute, and the situation was very unfavorable for the Netherlands! ”

"One to zero! Spain, who are aiming to defend their title, are the first to break the deadlock! This goal upset the balance on the pitch and in the next games, the Netherlands will definitely step up their attack and put more players into the attack! ”

On the pitch, Silva who scored the goal spread his wings excitedly, and the Spanish players howled and followed him......

Several players in the Dutch backfield glanced at each other, and they saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Robben spat on the turf and muttered, "Damn, we can't even catch the ball, how can we attack?" ”

Chen Fan exhaled a long breath, his brows furrowed slightly, if the Netherlands was still so conservative......

Van Marwijk, who was standing in the command area, wiped his face, then called Williams, the junior closest to him, to his side and whispered a few words to him.

After the restart, two Dutch full-backs joined the attack, with Frenkie de Jong and Van Bommel also pushing forward.

With the increase in the number of attackers, the Dutch attack picked up a lot.

In the sixteenth minute of the first half, the Netherlands attacked from the left side, and after Chen Fan received Sneijder's pass, the teenager Williams quickly stepped forward on the side.

"Smack! ……”

Chen Fan did not hesitate, with a diagonal pass, Williams took the football along the sideline and quickly went down.

Then he crossed and Van Persie in the middle leaped high and hit the goal with a header, and the ball flew towards the left side of the goal!

Casillas leaps forward and bravely saves the ball off the line!

The Dutch national television commentator exclaimed: "It's a good thing that the Netherlands have stepped up their attack when they are down by the score!" ”

Williams sent a corner kick directly into the penalty area, Pique pressed Van Persie to push the football out of the penalty area, Xavi and Chen Fan ran towards the football, they wanted to fight for the ball!

Xavi, who was closer to the football, stretched out his right foot to control the football, and his left foot stepped over the football, a false shake, and then the center of gravity turned to the left, stretched out his right foot and gently buckled it!

Forcibly turn around!

However, he seemed to forget that standing behind him was Chen Fan, who had extremely strong stealing ability.

When the football just flew out of the inside of his right foot, Chen Fan stretched out his left foot and stole the football!

"Beautiful!"

The Sky Sports commentator shouted: "Chan steals the football from Xavi's feet!" ”

After stealing the football, Chen Fan didn't give Xavi a chance to counter-rob at all, and suddenly passed diagonally to the left!

The soccer ball flew through the cracks of people like a sharp blade and flew into the penalty area!

Dutch left-back teenager Williams flew forward and raised his left foot to shoot hard!

The soccer ball flies towards the near corner!

The Kyiv Olympic Stadium fell into a deathly silence in an instant, the shot was too close and powerful.

It's a must-hit shot!

Casillas, who had already moved in advance, instinctively dropped his center of gravity, and his right foot magically blocked the football out of the bottom line!

The Catalan TV commentator shouted: "This is a world-class block!" The great Casillas stepped up at the crucial moment and tried to keep the goal open! ”

The Dutch national TV commentator said regretfully: "This is a beautiful front-court steal and quick counterattack, Chen immediately launched an attack after stealing the football from Xavi's feet, Williams' shot was very beautiful, but it was a pity that Casillas blocked the goal with his foot!" ”
