Some people say that modern football has entered the era of "utilitarian football", and in order to win, coaches have completely abandoned spectacle.

Dutch coach Van Marwijk is one of the representatives, he gave up the Netherlands' flashy attack, and the defense became his main focus, so the long pass and quick counterattack became the main attacking tactic of the Netherlands against strong teams.

As a result, some people criticized Van Marwijk's football as "ugly".

Spain coach Sergio Bosque is also very defensively focused, and Spain have also conceded the fewest goals in this World Cup.

Some people say that the World Cup finals in recent years are not good-looking, everyone is competing on defense, the big deal is that both sides do not score, and finally decide the final winner through penalty kicks.

When Chen Fan controlled the ball on the baseline, the Spanish midfielder returned to defend and Alonso finally completed the supplementary defense to make up for the defensive gap left by Puyol leaving the middle.

When the football flew from the inside of Chen Fan's right foot to Van Persie in the middle, the Spanish midfielder leaned on the Dutch center forward with his left shoulder!

Van Persie sticks out his left foot and he's going to finish shooting!

Alonso sticks out his right foot, he wants to block!

"Smack! ……”

The ball flew out of Van Persie's left foot and towards the goal!

"Push!"

Adar, the commentator of Dutch national television, shouted: "The time has come for Van Persie's contribution!" ”

Sky Sports commentator Bill exclaimed: "Horror of the Dutch twins! Their tacit understanding is amazing! ”

The German national television commentator exclaimed: "Will this goal be scored?" ”

The silence at the Soccer City stadium was silent, and the air froze!

It was as if the whole world stood still in this moment......

As soon as the ball flew out of Van Persie's feet, it hit a wall and the ball was blocked by Alonso's outstretched right foot!

"Great Alonso!"

The Spanish national television commentator shouted in surprise: "He blocked Van Persie's push!" ”

"Boom! ……”

There was a huge exclamation at the Soccer City stadium, which was full of the loss of the Dutch fans, but also full of the endless joy of the Spanish fans.

The ball changed direction and flew towards the corner of the box, and the Netherlands' quick counter-attack came to an abrupt halt.

Pique looked at the soccer ball flying towards him, immediately got up from the turf, and took the ball under control.

The commentator of Spanish national television said with palpitations: "Spain must pay attention to the fast counterattack of the Dutch team's long pass, if Alonso fails to return to the defense this time, this ball will be dangerous!" ”

Sky Sports commentator Bill highly praised Chen Fan: "The Netherlands' quick counterattack this time poses a danger to the Spanish goal, Chen has contributed a lot, if he didn't chase the ball when there was almost no hope, there would be no later cross to the middle, and there would be no Van Persie's push!"

At that moment, we seemed to see a god of war!

He deserves to be the biggest discovery of this World Cup! ”

……

On the court, Chen Fan was not immersed in the loss, and immediately rushed towards Pique, he was going to fight back.

Puyol looked at Pique, who was not in a hurry to pass the football to his teammates, and couldn't help but remind him again: "Pass the ball quickly!" ”

Peake's eyebrows raised slightly, is that damn guy going to fight back?

This time he gave up the provocation and the last time he almost caused a catastrophe when he immediately transferred the football to Xavi, who was back in the hinterland.

"Whew! ……”

Puyol breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran to Pique's side and said sternly in his ear: "Put away those useless thoughts, victory is the first priority, put personal grievances aside!" ”

Peake glanced at Puyol with some grievances and nodded silently.

After this lesson, Spain played more carefully, not seeking merit but no fault, and the distance between the three lines was reduced to about 15 meters.

The football is constantly rolling at the feet of the Spanish players, and the Spaniards play to their strengths and have to carry the pass to the end!

In the face of such a passive scene, the Dutch team played quite strongly, and in order to interrupt the smooth coordination of the opponent, they were like lumberjacks, treating the Spanish players as trees, cutting them down one by one......

The referee had to whistle again and again, and the game became fragmented.

In the tenth minute of the first half, Van Persie, who returned to the hinterland, shoveled Capdevilla, and England referee Webb showed the first yellow card!

In the twelfth minute, Van Bommel knocked the dribbling Andres Iniesta away, and a minute later, Van Bronckhorst brought Villa down......

In the fourteenth minute of the first half, Iniesta split the ball in the middle, Ramos broke through Kuyt on the right side of the penalty area, and his right-footed shot was destroyed by Heitinga ten meters in front of the goal!

Xavi took a tactical corner from the right, combined with Iniesta and knocked back, Alonso lifted the ball to the back post, and Villa hit the side-netting with a left-footed volley from eight yards out!

Faced with a passive situation, Van Marwijk yelled at his players and signaled them not to panic.

After the restart, the Dutch team began to attack under the organization of Sneijder.

Surprisingly, Spain's defensive strategy was almost identical to that of the Netherlands – using crude fouls to interrupt the opposition's fluid coordination.

In the 20th minute of the first half, Chen Fan got rid of Ramos' defense after receiving Sneijder's diagonal pass on the left side, and passed the football diagonally to Van Persie in the hinterland before Alonso made up for it.

Van Persie was just about to get rid of Puyol's defense, and the center of gravity of the Spanish defense did not hesitate to drop and put Van Persie down with one kick!

"Tick! ……”

The referee blew the whistle and it was a yellow card to Puyol!

The French commercial television commentator shook his head and said, "Are they going to turn the stadium into a wrestling ring?" ”

Sky Sports commentator Bill said: "Both sides were very cautious in the final, they both wanted to nip the danger in the bud. ”

'It's a well-placed free-kick, it's a direct shot, who will the Netherlands put in the penalty?'

The German national television commentator said: "The Netherlands has several free-kick players, Sneijder, Robben and Chen, they all have a record of scoring from free kicks. ”

Just when the major TV stations were speculating about who would take the free kick, Sneijder, Robben, and Chen Fan stood behind the football to discuss.

Casillas yelled at his teammates in the wall, and the air on the pitch tensed up again, is the first goal of the final coming?

After a short discussion, Sneijder, Robben, and Chen Fan slowly dispersed, and they stood behind the football in a left, center, and right position, and no one knew who would take the penalty.

"Tick! ……”

The referee blew a whistle, Chen Fan exhaled a long breath, and then slowly ran towards the football!

The German national TV commentator said loudly: "Could it be that Chen Lai is the main punishment?" ”

"Shhhh ……”

The Spanish fans let out loud boos, and they tried to distract Chen Fan with boos.

"Boy! Come on! I'm waiting for you! ”

Casillas, who was standing on the goal line, looked at Chen Fan with his center of gravity slightly lowered, and then his mood was calm.

The Spanish captain is now at the peak of his career, and he is already at the top of world football today, whether it is his physicality, his reaction speed, or even his game experience.

In the stands, the bald heads of the Athletic Enough team, Jack, Carl, Louis and others were nervous and didn't know what to do, and Emel covered his mouth......

"Smack! ……”

Chen Fan kicked the inside of his right foot on the football, and the football flew up from the turf, spun violently, and flew towards the head of Busquets on the far left side of the human wall!
