Chapter 252: Exhausted

Dutch football has always been known for its unrestrained, passionate attack. No one would want to face a completely crazy Dutch team because it would be simply unstoppable. Immediately after Portugal took the lead, the Netherlands began to fight back. Perhaps it was Lao Lei's goal that dispelled the caution in the hearts of the Dutch players and made their thoughts simpler. You don't need to be cautious everywhere, you don't need to think about controlling the rhythm or anything, for fear of making any mistakes, now that you are lagging behind, you just need to fight back.

So after falling behind, the Netherlands put down its psychological burden and began to slowly return to normal. According to the commentator, "The first 25 minutes of the game were like a warm-up, and now the game is just starting." "After the restart, the essence of the Netherlands' all-out attack and defense began to show. In particular, the unique flexibility of the midfield began to show, with constant rotations, constant interspersed with running, and an impressive desire to attack. A normal Dutchman, after playing at this point in the game, finally recovered.

And the Portuguese defense immediately felt the pressure. A versatile and technical midfielder, two powerful wings, and a powerful centre-forward, this all-round and powerful attacking line begins to show its proud firepower. The Netherlands are not like England, they are in control of the situation when they want and want to have the ball, and they are completely on par with Portugal in terms of technique. It's just because of the style of football that they don't play the delicate ball-possession style that Portugal has developed from the golden generation.

In the 28th minute of the first half, the position of Seedorf and Cocu at this time, began to press forward. Increase the energy commitment on the offensive side. The two pulled to the left and formed a left-wing attack group with Robben. This is the usual attacking routine and combination used by the Netherlands at this European Championship. The three of them succinctly hit the wall in succession to match and hit the football behind Ferreira. It gave Robben the chance to show his superhuman speed again. Ray was in the middle of it, trying to break Seedorf's pass to Robben, but the ball went around his right foot with precision and managed to get it out. There is no way, these three people have good foot skills, plus they are the attackers who are born with the initiative, although Lao Lei judged Seedorf's thoughts, but his superb passing skills still did not give Lao Lei a chance.

And Ferreira was a wolf at this time. The result of comparing the speed with Robben is a matter of course. In the face of this simple and extremely fast speed, Ferreira's prediction and experience had no effect, because his movements could not keep up. Robben took a few big strides, shook off half of his body, and grabbed the football first. Ferreira was not willing to be overtaken like this, and he came with a vicious big sliding tackle to sabotage the attack. And Robben skillfully buckled and jumped. just let him clean up, and then he went straight into the forbidden area.

At this time, Lao Lei was behind, taking advantage of this opportunity. I wanted to come over to fill the position, but unfortunately I was still a step too slow. Seeing that Robben was about to enter the forbidden area, Lao Lei decisively stretched out his hand. One pull, take a tactical foul. Pulled Robben down outside the penalty line. Fortunately, the referee opened up to Lao Lei this time. Although the Dutch side was very dissatisfied, it still only gave Lao Lei a verbal warning and did not show a yellow card. Of course, Lao Lei also knew that if there was any action next, the referee would not be so easy to speak.

It's a well-placed free-kick, and although it's difficult to shoot straight at goal, it's dangerous to pass the ball. Stam and other big players from the Netherlands came to the Portuguese penalty area, ready to compete for the top. The Portuguese penalty area was overcrowded for a while. Portugal were also on the verge of a free-kick, with Gomes returning to his own penalty area to defend as he was one of the best headers in the Portuguese team.

With the referee's whistle, Robben gave Seedorf a cover, and Seedorf's free-kick flew directly in front of the goal. At this time, Ricardo struck in time and punched the football out. However, it did not go far, and it was still in the danger zone. At the top of the arc of the penalty area, Lao Lei and Coku were grabbing this second drop point. Although it was Lao Lei who had the advantage and took the lead in the football, Cocu's closeness made him unable to stop the football by himself, and could only head the ball a little, wanting to point the football to Kostiani.

However, Kostiani couldn't get the ball on the ball, and behind him was Van Bronckhorst, who got the assist and cut in from behind him to get a pass from Ray. He flew the ball to the feet of Robben on the wing again, and Ferreira did not dare to slack off at all to follow him. In the face of Ferreira, Robben's method is very simple, it is to eat you raw. Poke on your toes, then immediately accelerate yourself, and you have to pass Ferreira from the other side to pass the ball alone. By this time, Robben had already stepped into the penalty area with one foot, which made Ferreira throw a bogey, not daring to make too big a move or take a tactical foul.

In such a situation, Robben ate him raw again, and today he was simply stopped by Robben. After getting off the bottom, Robben followed the line of the small penalty area and burst into the small penalty area of Portugal. Before the alarm was lifted, the gates of Portugal were lit up again. With a strong body and keen awareness in front of goal, Ruud van Nistelrooy grabbed the first spot. Head-on, he smashed the ball from Robben towards the goal. In such a close situation, Neuroknife Ricardo is fortunately in good shape today and is in a period of nerve-on. Super quick to reach out and save Vanney's header.

Carvalho then cleared the ball with a big foot. However, under the interference of Overmars, he hastily cleared the siege and still did not kick the football away, and the football was still within the danger range. In the scuffle between the two sides, football finally came to the feet of Dutch player Seedorf. Under the close pressure of Kostiani, Seedorf handed the ball directly to the middle of the edge of the penalty area, where Davis was already in front of the front of the box, in an unguarded situation.

Davis swung his thick right thigh and struck a powerful blow at the football. At this time, Lao Lei let go of Keku and rushed over, which was directly blocked by a flying body. With a dull bang, the football hit Lao Lei's chest solidly. At this time, Lao Lei Ke had not yet driven the devil muscleman, and he was still a superman wearing shorts. He felt a tightness in his chest, and immediately felt a sense of drowning that he couldn't breathe. What was Gerald's feeling at the beginning, Lao Lei experienced it himself, and finally knew it.

After the football hit Lao Lei's chest, it bounced high, and he couldn't see it far away. It happened to be back at Davis's feet, and Davis stopped the football, adjusted a little, and was about to shoot again with a cannon. It was a powerful and miraculous way of shooting, and considering that Ricardo's vision was more or less hindered by the dense crowd in the penalty area. As long as Davies' shot can hit the woodwork, it is likely to pose a great threat to the Portuguese goal. Of course, it's possible that the crowd will block Davis' shot, but it's a matter of probability. When everything is probabilized, people will always only notice the probability of being bad, even if it is only a 1 percent probability.

The same is true of Old Ray. At this time, an equaliser for the Netherlands would be a huge morale boost. As soon as we are down, we equalize, which is a very strong psychological hint to the players, they can't do anything with us, we want to score, we score. Such an idea will not only boost the morale of the players, but also make them feel confident. And if it happens to the Dutch team, it will be even worse, and it will probably make them go crazy. This is an unacceptable consequence for Old Ray and Portugal.

The feeling of tightness in the chest has been stored zĂ i. At this time, Lao Lei gritted his teeth, and after a foul sentence burst in his heart, he propped his hands on the ground, and used a hip-hop move. With your hands and head on the ground, your feet raised, you can seal the path of Davis' shot. This is a defense to see luck, perhaps because Lao Lei is working so hard, today's goddess of luck has a good impression of Lao Lei. Lao Lei's right foot hit the powerful football. An extremely strong force came, and because Lao Lei was powerless at this time, he was directly taken by the power of the football and fell to the ground again.

This time, the Netherlands were finally not able to continue the offensive again. Kostiani took the lead, and a big foot pushed the ball out of the touchline, interrupting the Dutch wave of attacks. And Lao Lei fell to the ground with confidence, relieving the feeling of tightness in his chest. The Netherlands also showed friendliness at this time, and did not immediately restart the game, but gave Lao Lei time to relieve. When the Portuguese team doctor lifted Lao Lei off the pitch, they resumed the game.

Lao Lei's problem was not big, and after a while, he immediately returned to the court and continued the game. In the 32nd minute of the first half, after Robben's long-range shot missed the post, Portuguese fans could finally calm down for a while, and their crazy beating hearts were relieved. In this attack, the Netherlands showed its offensive firepower to the fullest, and the continuous offensive made the Portuguese defense line exhausted and unbearable.

This time, the Dutch offensive made Lao Lei more determined to play this game, using the ball to suppress the rhythm, and not let the Netherlands go crazy. However, it depends on whether the Netherlands agrees. In the 34th minute of the first half, after Davies successfully broke the ball in front, he made a long pass and found Robben on the left side directly, and the Dutch offensive came again. Now, the Netherlands is starting to compete with Portugal for the control of the rhythm, one is fast, the other is slow, this is the time to see the real ability of the players on both sides, and there is no room for fraud.

At this time, Lao Lei came over in time and formed a trap for Ferreira. After suppressing Robben's speed, Ray made an accurate sliding tackle that broke the ball off the touchline. It didn't allow Robben to pick up the pace again and hit Portugal's left wing.

In the face of the growing orange storm in the Netherlands, Lao Lei did not want to admit defeat.

He wanted to do one thing.

To make herculean efforts to save a critical situation!! (To be continued......)
