As time progressed, the Dutch team gradually took control of the situation on the field under their feet by virtue of their own strength.

Russia strengthened their defense against Chen Fan after conceding the goal, and Russia did not give him an easy chance to get the ball at all. Even if he took control of the football, the Russian players around him immediately started to besiege him.

In this case, no matter how great Chen Fan's ability is, it is impossible to pose a threat to the Russian goal.

Of course, as he diverted the attention of the Russian defence, the other players were given a number of shots on goal.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Sneijder split the ball to the right flank, and Van der Wiel, who had come up with the assist, combined with Huntelaar on the right flank to tear apart the Russian defence.

Van der Wiel made an inverted triangle pass near the baseline, and the follow-up Huntelaar fired a powerful shot that deflected the ball wide of the goal!

In the twenty-fifth minute of the first half, Chen Fan knocked Heitinga's direct pass directly to Sneijder in the middle, and Sneijder directly kicked a precise straight stop.

Van Persie inserted a push, and Russian goalkeeper Malafeev bravely saved the football from the bottom line!

In the 31st minute of the first half, the Netherlands played a series of pleasing combinations in the heart of Russia, Van Persie stuffed the football into the penalty area, and De Jong, who was inserted, pushed the ball and the ball was deflected out of the goal!

The Dutch offensive is in full swing, and Russia is struggling to hold on.

This made the Dutch fans extremely happy, and the Russian fans were terrified, is this the gap between Russia and the world champions?

In the 39th minute of the first half, the Netherlands ushered in a good opportunity to score, Chen Fan formed a continuous breakthrough on the left side, and crossed on the left side of the penalty area.

The unmarked Sneijder fired a shot from the edge of the box and the ball flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal!

Russian goalkeeper Malafeev jumped away, his right hand magically touched the football, and the football changed direction and continued to move forward.

"Pong! ......", the football hit the outside of the post and popped up the bottom line!

The Netherlands missed their best chance to extend the score in the first half, and Russia withstood the Dutch bombardment and did not allow the Netherlands to extend their lead at the end of the first half.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the players from both sides returned to the dressing room and the pitch was empty.

Fans from both sides took the opportunity to relax and gather energy for the second half.

On the broadcast seat, the commentators of major TV stations began to summarize the first half of the game, and the commentator of Dutch national TV said: "Throughout the first half, the Netherlands firmly controlled the initiative and rhythm of the game, and has been attacking Russia!"

It's just that they still lack a little bit of luck, otherwise the score would have expanded long ago.

Chen was chased and intercepted by Russia, but he still staged a few wonderful breakthroughs and created an own goal for Russia in the fifth minute, and he is still the most important attacking force of the Netherlands!

In the second half, the Dutch team had to be more patient and more capable of seizing opportunities, and the goals would come sooner or later! ”

The commentator from Sky Sports said: "This is the real Dutch team, this is the Dutch team that won the World Cup!"

Despite having only one goal in the first half, they were in complete control of the situation and Russia had only one shot on goal! The Netherlands had a very fast pace in the first half, which smacked of dragging down the Russian physique.

In the second half, Russia's physical fitness declined, and Chen's speed could be fully played! ”

……

In the Russian dressing room, head coach Advocaat encouraged his players: "Although the Netherlands attacked fiercely, they only scored one goal in the first half!

As long as we don't relax at the back, we have a chance!

In the second half, you have to seize the opportunity to counterattack quickly, as long as there is an opportunity to counterattack, you must use the fastest speed to transfer the football to the front court and give the Dutch a fatal blow!

As long as we can defend and sneak up on one more one, we can send the game to extra time. In extra-time, we defended with all our might and dragged the game to penalties so that we had a chance to beat the Netherlands! ”

Alavin shook his head in his heart, how easy is it, Russia does not have a speed player like Chen...... However, this is the only way to win.

Putting the game on penalties is indeed the best way to knock out the Netherlands.

In the Dutch dressing room, Van Marwijk summed up the first half and said: "At the beginning of the second half, we had to press like crazy in front, try to steal the football and fight back, get the goal and extend the score.

In this way, Russia will be forced to attack, and our chances will increase! ”

Everyone nodded, 1-0 and 2-0 are completely two different concepts.

With a one-goal lead, Russia may not attack at the beginning of the game, but with a two-goal lead, Russia with no way back will definitely attack.

To open up the game in the second half, you have to try to score early.

……

After a fifteen-minute halftime break, the players from both sides returned to the pitch, the fans in the stands were excited again, and the second half of the decisive battle came!

It's time to decide your fate!

"Tick! ……”

With the referee's whistle, the decisive battle of the second half began.

Chen Fan, Van Persie, Huntelaar, Sneijder and others immediately pounced on the half like hungry wolves and launched a ferocious scramble.

Faced with the pressure of the Dutch midfielder, the Russian defender immediately shifted the football to the front with a big foot.

Dutch centre-back Heitinga easily took control of the ball before moving it to youngster Williams.

Williams got the ball and got rid of the opponent's defense, and a diagonal pass of about 20 meters found Sneijder in the opponent's hinterland.

Sneijder met the ball, then reached out with his right foot and gently rubbed the outside of his right foot against the ball, which flew behind him.

Chen Fan and Van Persie ran towards the football at the same time, and the two made quick eye contact, and then Chen Fan ran towards the middle.

Van Persie took two steps forward, stretched out his right foot and led it back, then slammed it to his left back!

The football flew out of his left heel, and Chen Fan stretched out his right foot to control the football!

The Netherlands' quick counter-attack was extremely fast, Sneijder and Van Persie both made a pass, completely disrupting the Russian defense, and at the moment, there were only two defenders between him and the Russian goal!

At Chen Fan's level, facing the opponent's two defenders, he can find a chance to shoot.

I saw him take the football to Ignashevic in front of the right and kill!

"Here's your chance!"

The Milan sports station commentator exclaimed: "As soon as the second half started, the Netherlands launched a blitzkrieg, Chen got a chance in the middle, let's see how he scored this time!"

Oh! I'm sorry, I was wrong, how to complete the offense!

I beg your pardon for the fans, the Netherlands' attacking momentum made me so excited, I was wrong when I was excited......"
