In the Dutch dressing room, Van Marwijk had to deal with morale first.

"It's not that we don't have chances, it's just that we're in a hurry, it's not the end of the world to be two goals down, we still have the whole second half!

The one who laughs last laughs the most beautifully, and we must be the one who laughs last!

We don't have any problems with our tactics, what we need is patience!

Patience!

We always have to believe that miracles will happen, always believe in ourselves, believe that we can make it to the finals! ”

The frustration in the eyes of the Dutch players was slowly burned to ashes by the fire that the coach helped them ignite, and their fighting spirit burned again!

Van Marwijk watched the change in the player's expression with satisfaction and said loudly: "There was no retreat in the second half, only attacking, constantly attacking!"

There is no goal in this world that cannot be broken! ”

After successfully tackling the morale problem, he began to remind his players: "England's quick counter-attacks are very distinctive, we have to pay attention to their quick counter-attacks.

After losing the ball in the frontcourt, you should immediately counter-attack and try to delay the opportunity for the opponent to launch a quick counterattack. After the opponent moved the ball to our half, we had to use the method of destroying the ball to contain it, and the other players used this opportunity to return to the defense quickly......"

Fabio Capello has slowly infiltrated his football philosophy into the England team, and the Italian is a master of counter-attacking defense, a team that bears his distinctive mark.

Van Marwijk knows this well, so he specifically emphasises defending against England's quick counter-attacks.

……

After a fifteen-minute break, the players from both sides re-entered the stadium, and the fans on both sides let out a loud cry like giants waking up.

"Tick! ……”

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

Sky TV commentator Kent exclaimed: "Friends from the audience, friends from the fans, the second half of the semi-final between England and the Netherlands has officially begun!"

England had a two-goal lead over the Netherlands in the first half thanks to a goal from the Wolves twins, but we can't take it lightly, the Dutchman have a strong attacking ability! ”

The Dutch, who had no way out, launched a fierce attack on England at the start of the second half, but instead of sprinting hard, they were very patient. They don't force their feet to shoot when they don't have a chance.

In the fifth minute of the second half, their patience finally got their chance, Sneijder slashed a shot from outside the box, and the ball pierced the England defence and drilled into the box!

Van Persie, who was ambushed in the box, turned his back to goal and did not shoot directly, but took advantage of the stoppage to attract the attention of the England backline.

When Glen Johnson and Upson formed a bag on him, he suddenly knocked the ball back, and Sneijder took two steps forward and fired hard!

The ball flew like a cannonball towards the left side of the goal!

James, who was extremely focused, jumped and saved the football from the bottom line!

The Green Dot Stadium was full of applause, and fans from both sides were very satisfied with the wonderful performance of their teams.

In the eighth minute, the Dutchman made a comeback, Robben cut in and fired a powerful shot on the line of the penalty area, and the ball went over the crossbar!

England could only use quick counterattacks to attack, but the Dutch strictly followed the arrangement of Van Marwijk's midfield, using the tactics of delaying in the front and destroying in the back, and destroyed the rapid counterattacks of the English again and again.

In this case, Wang Rui also did not have the opportunity to exert his energy, the Dutch had the advantage on the field, and the situation was not in favor of England.

In the thirteenth minute of the second half, the increasingly confident Dutchman launched a fierce attack on the left flank, Kuyt suddenly passed the football club to the corner of the box ten meters from the baseline, and Sneijder stepped forward and hit a heavy shot!

The soccer ball roars towards the goal!

The angle of this shot is average, but it is full of power, James did not dare to hold it up, raised his fists to block the football!

Kenting took a step forward alertly, rubbed the ball out of the penalty area with a rub of his head, and Robben, who was ambushed outside the penalty area, won the ball, and he wanted to shoot the ball angrily!

Lacking any achievements on the offensive end, Rooney has long adjusted his mentality to contribute on the defensive end. At this moment, he saw that Robben was about to shoot angrily at the ball, took two steps forward, and his left shoulder leaned Robben's right shoulder......

"Ahh ……”

Robben, who lost his center of gravity, saw that he could not complete the shot, so he simply let out a scream and fell on the turf.

"Tick! ……”

The referee's whistle was a yellow card for Wayne Rooney and gave the Netherlands a well-placed direct free-kick.

Angry Rooney and Robben who fell on the turf theorized, England players were very concerned about the referee's decision, they surrounded the referee, and there was chaos on the field.

Sky TV commentator Kent said angrily: "Is FIFA going to target England? How many times did the referee misjudge England?

Rooney's reasonable collision was actually judged a foul by the referee, God, the referee's eye saw that Rooney fouled? ”

Of course, the referee's decision cannot be changed, and the England midfielders can only line up the wall under the command of James. Rising from the turf, Arjen Robben and Sneijder stood behind the ball to discuss how to take the well-placed direct free-kick.

"Tick! ……”

As the referee's whistle blew, Sneijder slowly ran towards the football, and the air on the pitch began to tense.

"Smack! ……”

Sneijder's right instep kicked the football, and the ball roared like a cannonball towards Rooney on the far right of the human wall!

The goal was a half-empty ball, and Sneijder's goal was not to shoot around the wall, but to shoot through the wall with a punch!

In the flash of light, the ball hits the outside of Rooney's left leg, changes direction and keeps going!

Like a marble, the ball flew out of the outside of Rooney's left leg and hit Van Persie's right leg, changing direction again and flying towards the right side of the goal!

Medes, who was standing on the goal line, roared and flew towards the football!

The next moment, his right hand blocked the football......

However, the football got out of the way......

Football flies towards Van Bommel!

The England players in the box were shocked, and Ashley Cole, who was closest to the football, flew forward and tried to use his body to block Van Bommel's shot!

The Dutch iron, who is over 30 years old, is a veteran of the pitch, and this is his last World Cup, and for him, it may be his last shot on goal.

Van Bommel raised his right foot and it was a blast!

This kick is full of his love for football and his pursuit of football.

I saw a flash of white light, and the football flew under Ashley Cole's right foot and drilled into the net!

The Dutch national television commentator grabbed the microphone and shouted: "The ball is in!" Entered! Entered! Entered! ……”

Sky TV commentator Kent said regretfully and bitterly: "James pounced on the ball at the critical moment, Van Bommel burst the shot, the score became 1-2, the tenacious Dutchman narrowed the difference, and the gap between the two sides was only one goal ......" (To be continued. )
