Towards the end of the first half, the Netherlands took advantage of a corner to attack the England goal, and Robben's leap to the top gave the Dutch fans the best chance to close the gap.

The football headed for the empty goal, and England goalkeeper James looked at the ball and sighed!

The ball is getting closer and closer to the goal, towards the post!

In the eyes of England fans, football is like a sharp dagger that is stabbed into their hearts!

They're dying......

"Pong! ……”

With a loud bang, the football hit the outside of the post and flew out of the bottom line!

This sound was a natural sound for England fans, who let out a huge cheer to celebrate the resurrection of the dead......

Dutch fans fell from heaven to hell, their hopes of closing the gap dashed as they let out loud and painful exclamations of unjust fate......

The Netherlands have threatened England on a number of occasions with set-pieces, and apart from this one, the Dutchman would have bothered to score the England goal if it weren't for Ashley Cole.

James hugged the post in surprise and kissed him violently......

Luca, the commentator of Milan's sports station, said loudly: "The Netherlands missed the best chance to score, Robben missed the chance to close the gap! ”

Sky TV commentator Kent exclaimed: "The god of luck is on England's side!" The football is rejected by the jamb! ”

Capello in the command area yelled loudly onto the pitch with palpitations, signaling his players to pay more attention to the defense of set-pieces.

For the remainder of the first half, England focused on defending and held a two-goal lead until the end of the first half.

The players from both sides returned to the dressing room to rest and make final preparations for the second half, and the fans also took the time to recuperate and prepare for the second half.

As the major TV stations were busy summing up the first half and looking forward to the second half, German national television exclaimed: "Both sides defended very well, did not give each other too many chances, and the most threatening shots on both sides came from set-pieces, which is in line with the law of the big game."

Perhaps the main threat for both sides in the second half came from set-pieces. ”

Spanish national television said: "It was still the king who dominated the first half, one goal, one assist, he created two goals for England.

Wang was a speechless player, who broke through the Dutch goal in the fourth minute, disrupting the Dutchman's deployment, causing them to lose their psychological balance and miss the goal again and again at crucial moments.

And that goal gave the English a great deal of confidence, and although they were passive, they took advantage of the few chances and took advantage of the free-kick opportunity to score another goal, leaving the Dutch in extreme passivity.

Hopefully, the Netherlands will take advantage of the half-time break to adjust their mentality, be more patient in attack, and give us a great game.

The Wolves twin were England's goalscorers, one of the best attacking pairings of the tournament.

In terms of possession, the Dutch had the upper hand, with 57 per cent possession compared to England's 43 per cent, but the possession lead did not give the Netherlands a lead, but they were two goals behind.

The Dutch also lead England in terms of shots on goal, with a total of 10 shots in the first half compared to England's seven. England scored two goals in seven shots, which shows that England's attacking efficiency is terrible! ”

Dutch national television exclaimed: "It's not the end of the world to go down, we still have the whole second half!"

Let's not forget the quarter-final against Brazil, where we were also behind, but it was us, not Brazil, who had the last laugh.

England's set-piece defence is not watertight, we can't score in positional attack, we can score from set-pieces!

In the second half, we had no way out, we could only attack with all our might, people are in a desperate situation and there is always a shocking burst of energy, the Dutch will not bow to fate!

Come on! Netherlands!

We still have time, we still have a chance! ”

Sky TV commentator Kent said: "England's best performance in the first half was of course the Wolves twins, who were responsible for England's two goals, but we can't ignore Kenting's contribution to the defensive end, if it wasn't for him to contain Robben, England's backline would have been under more pressure and the score wouldn't have been the way it is.

The unpretentious, low-key midfielder has become an important part of England, holding up a solid wall in front of the back line like a rock to withstand the waves of the opposition.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers trio are England's youngest three, but they were England's top three in the first half and hopefully they will continue to be consistent in the second half and make a significant contribution to England's reach for the final! ”

Luca, the commentator of Milan's sports station, exclaimed: "With two goals down, the Netherlands will definitely come out in the second half and the time will come to test the England defence."

England, who are two goals ahead, will certainly not go head-to-head with the Dutch, and will use counter-attacking tactics on the defensive.

Will it be the Dutchman's stormy attack that will break down England's goal, or will England use defensive counter-attacks to widen the gap again?

All we have to do is wait quietly! ”

……

The atmosphere in the dressing rooms of both sides was very different, with tension in the England dressing room mixed with excitement and the Dutch dressing room being depressed.

Wang Rui returned to the locker room and silently replenished water and wiped the sweat on his body, he was not very satisfied with his performance in the first half, except for those two goals, he did not have much performance.

Compared to the previous game against Uruguay, the Dutchman did not have a single man to mark him in this game, but whenever he had to get the ball, or after he had the ball, the Dutchman would keep him under tight control, which forced him to reduce the time he spent on the ball.

Peter had been foaming at the mouth of the game with his team-mates about the details of the first half, and he wanted to defuse the tension in his heart in this way.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the Italian coughed twice and prepared to speak. The players quickly returned to their positions to prepare to listen to the manager's plan for the second half.

'In the first half we did a good job defending in position, but we didn't do a good job defending set-pieces, so in the second half we had to improve in that area and keep an eye on the key players of the opposition.

Capello said solemnly: "A two-goal lead does not mean that we can win this game, there are many examples in the world that remind us that if you are negligent, even if you are three goals ahead, the opponent has a chance to equalize!" ”

Peter wiped away the joy on his face, his face became rare and serious, Girard nodded repeatedly, the Italian gave the example that he led Liverpool to create, and he knew this very well.

'Anything can happen before the whistle blows, as we did in our last game, scoring twice in stoppage time to turn the scoreline around.

We can't give the Dutch such a chance! ”

After reminding his players, the Italian began to plan the strategy for the second half: "The Dutchmen will definitely increase their attacking intensity, all we have to do is defend well and not let them score too early!" ”

Ashley Cole frowned, and the coach didn't trust our backline like that?

The Italian said in a deep voice: "I know that there are different opinions about what I have just said, that I don't trust our back line, on the contrary, I have quite confidence in our defence.

But what does it mean that the Dutchman are the only team other than us to keep winning all of them?

Illustrates the strength of his offensive ability!

And we had a couple of dangerous runs in front of goal in the first half, which confirmed the Dutchman's attacking prowess.

In the second half, our strategy was to slow down the opponent as much as possible in defence, to be concise in attack, not to make too many reversaries in the middle and back, and to move the football to the front as quickly as possible. ”

In the following time, the Italians explained their tactical play in detail, and the English players forgot about the tension of going to the final for a while.

The defenders, in particular, decided to prove that the Dutchmans were sharp in attack but England were solid defensively......

They are going to prove the Italians wrong with their actions, they have the ability not to let the Dutch score! (To be continued.) )
