Van Persie's push shot helped the Netherlands equalise just after the start of the second half, and the Italian players looked serious.

The Dutch players surrounded Van Persie and howled excitedly.

Lightning goal, which no one expected, before the start of the game, Italian coach Prandelli had told his players to pay attention to the Dutch blitzkrieg.

However, they were still unable to withstand the Dutch blitzkrieg.

This made Italy coach Prandelli, who was sitting on the bench, very frustrated, and the 2-2 score brought the two sides back to the same running line, can Italy continue to defend and counterattack comfortably?

The Netherlands have repeatedly fallen on penalties, but why not Italy?

In the '94 World Cup final, Italy and Brazil drew in 120 minutes, and the two sides had to go to a brutal penalty shootout.

In the penalty kick, Baresi and Baggio sent the penalty off one after another, leaving Italy in the penalty shoot-out and losing the World Cup title.

The moment he missed the penalty, Baggio's sad back stung the world.

Years later, Baggio recalled this period and strongly demanded that the penalty shoot-out be cancelled, which shows how traumatic that moment was for him.

The Netherlands and Italy have a record of penalty shoot-outs in major tournaments, and in the Euro 2000 semi-finals, the Netherlands and Italy met unexpectedly, in which the Netherlands missed two penalties in 120 minutes, and the two teams had to go to penalties.

In the penalty shoot-out, the Netherlands missed three penalties and directly handed away qualification for the final.

In this tournament, Italy and England met in the quarter-finals, and the two teams exchanged blanks in 120 minutes to go to penalties.

Italy eliminated England 4-2 to reach the semi-finals.

If Italy win the game tonight on penalties...... Isn't the odds a little bigger?

Thinking of this, Italian coach Prandelli slowly recovered, and came to the sidelines to direct his team to continue to implement the original tactic - defensive counterattack.

After the restart, fans thought that the two teams who were back on the same running line would share a match, but they were disappointed.

Italy did not invest a lot of troops in attack, and the Netherlands also focused on defense, so the situation on the field became dull.

After Chen Fan got the ball, he kept attacking the Italian defense, but the Italians were tough and tenacious, they followed one after another, and did not give Chen Fan space to shoot at all.

Chen Fan was lost in Italy's steel-and-concrete defensive line......

In order to curb Italy's defensive rapid counterattack, the Dutch players in the midfield counter-attacked immediately after conceding the ball, not giving them the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack with long passes comfortably.

On the other hand, Van Bommel and Frenkie de Jong have remained almost always at the back, forming a solid defence with the defenders.

When they were only one step away from the final, both coaches chose to be conservative.

The scene was deadlocked.

The Dutch national television commentator said: "The stalemate is not good for the Netherlands, and if the game is dragged to a penalty shootout, the pressure on the Netherlands will be greater than that of Italy!" So the Netherlands is going to attack! ”

The Sky Sports commentator said: "Italy have a little more hope of progressing to the final if they go to penalties, having just beaten England on penalties in the quarter-finals. ”

In the stands, Gullit shook his head and said: "If you continue to play like this, even if there is Chen, the future of the Netherlands ......"

Davis, who had pigtails, nodded and said, "This is what Van Marwijk dislikes the most, he is too conservative......"

In the Dutch command area, the assistant coach came up to Van Marwijk and whispered in his ear.

At this moment, the Dutch fans made a loud noise: "Attack! ”

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The philosophy of Dutch football is attacking, and the Dutch team is a team that loves attacking.

Now the conservative Dutch team has displeased the fans, damn Van Marwijk, do you want a penalty shootout?

In the command area, Van Marwijk took a deep breath, looked directly at the assistant beside him, and then nodded.

On a dead ball, Van Marwijk called Sneijder to his side and gave him a good time.

The French TV 2 commentator said loudly: "Is Van Marwijk going to change tactics?" ”

After the restart, the number of Dutch players in the attack increased, with the two full-backs frequently involved in the attack, and as for Van Bommel and Frenkie de Jong, they still stuck to the back, filling in the two full-backs.

With two full-backs involved in the attack, the Dutch attack slowly picked up.

In the twenty-seventh minute of the second half, the teenager Williams inserted an assist on the left side, and after receiving Chen Fan's diagonal pass, he quickly crossed with the football!

The football flew into the Italian penalty area, and Van Persie jumped high to beat Barzagli and shook his head to the goal!

Gianluigi Buffon lifted the ball over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, the Netherlands came back to attack from the right, with Van der Wiel finding Van Persie in the middle with a cross from the wing.

Van Persie, who couldn't turn around, knocked back directly, and Sneijder followed up with a long-range shot!

The soccer ball whistled like a cannonball towards the right side of the goal!

The National Stadium in Warsaw is getting nervous, is it going to score?

Standing on the goal line, Buffon showed his value as the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, jumped up and blocked the football with his left hand!

The Dutch attack got up in a big way, which got the Dutch fans excited and they let out a loud shout.

There is no worry on the faces of the Italian fans, they believe in their defense!

Prior to this semi-final, Italy had conceded just one goal at most in this tournament, conceding just two goals in total. Scoring two goals by the Netherlands tonight was already a big surprise.

They believed that Italy would not give the Netherlands another chance.

As for the defense of the Netherlands...... That could be described as terrible, they have conceded seven goals so far!

It was the team with the worst defense among the top four.

As long as they continue to persevere, Italy will definitely be able to seize the opportunity of the defensive counterattack and complete the fatal blow!

Even if they can't beat the Netherlands in 120 minutes and go to penalties, Italy still have the upper hand.

In the thirty-second minute of the second half, the Netherlands failed to attack, and Italy immediately launched a quick counterattack!

This time they didn't do it with long passes, but with quick passes, and after just two short passes, the ball reached Cassano, who was deep in the heart of the Netherlands.

Cassano, under the sideways defense of Van Bommel, suddenly accelerated, and then slammed straight into the penalty area!

Balotelli, who scored twice, cut diagonally into the box and forced his foot to shoot under the defense of Mathieson!

The soccer ball flew like a cannonball towards the far corner!

Stekelenburg made a brave save and the ball hit the fingers of his right hand and kept going!

The Dutch fans turned pale, and the Italian fans saw the hope of scoring!

"Pong! ……”

With a loud bang, the ball hit the post and bounced back into the box, with Dutch centre-back Heitinga taking two steps to keep the ball at his feet.

"Boom! ……”

The stadium erupted with a loud exclamation, followed by thunderous applause.
