The strongest winger

Chapter 1134 Consistent with impression

Although there are five Valencia players in the starting lineup, many commentators and reporters who got the starting lineups of both sides are still a little puzzled, especially from the local media in Valencia. They even want to see all the starting players in Spain.

In fact, in Bosque's mind, there were more than six Valencia players in the starting lineup, because he tasted the sweetness in the 2008 European Championship and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Putting more of the same players in the starting lineup will create a huge chemical reaction - more tacit cooperation!

In other words, if Bosque hadn't taken into account the face of Barcelona players and Real Madrid players, there would be more Valencia players in the starting lineup he sent.

However, when five Valencian players appeared in Spain's starting lineup, the local media in Catalonia were extremely upset. You must know...Iniesta has always been the starter at the left winger position in the past, but...In this crucial group match, the 22-year-old Isco was used.

Similarly, the media in the capital are also dissatisfied with this starting lineup. In their perception, Hesse is also competent in this position.

However, most of the on-site commentary commentators only questioned the appointment of the center when they got the starting lineup.

Diego Costa did perform well in La Liga last season. He was the best Spanish striker and scored the most goals, but he has a fatal problem, that is, it is difficult for him to control his temper on the field, and he also has certain injuries to his right calf.

In this position, the commentators think it is more suitable to use Valencia striker Paco.

For the Dutch team, Van Gaal did not have any surprises in terms of employment, and sent the strongest lineup.

It’s just that when the starting lineups of the two sides came out, some media also focused on the two players in this game. They are Xavi Alonso and De Jong. In the World Cup final in South Africa four years ago, De Jong used a martial arts move. If Weber, the referee of the final at the time, was not merciful, the defeat of the Dutch team may have already been determined.

Closer to home, the focus is back on the game itself. This focus battle at the Pantanal Stadium was announced under the cheers of more than 4 fans.

Spain, known for its super ball-handling ability, took the initiative from the very beginning of the game, but Van Gaal's tactics against the Dutch team were very appropriate. Knowing that it must not be comparable to Spain in terms of ball-handling, he decisively chose to defend and counterattack.

Van Gaal's tactics quickly took effect, using the opportunity of two counterattacks to achieve the effect of shocking the mountain, making Spain's offense more cautious.

Therefore, the scene in the first 20 minutes of the game was a bit dull, and the energy of both sides was more focused on the midfield.

But in the 26th minute of the game, the referee's penalty became the focus of breaking the balance of the game. David Silva sent a precise through ball 35 meters away from the goal. Diego Costa broke into the penalty area trying to get rid of De Vrij, but fell to the ground. Italian golden whistle Rizzoli decisively called a penalty.

Judging from the slow motion, Diego Costa is suspected of diving, and he is more like hanging his feet on De Vry's feet.

※※※

Although it can be seen from slow motion that Diego Costa is suspected of touching porcelain, the referee's penalty cannot be changed. Xavi Alonso's penalty kick hit the bull's-eye, and Spain led the Dutch team by one goal.

Xavi Alonso's goal also caused a burst of chanting from the fans in the stands. They roared hysterically, as if they were shouting at the Dutch fans: "Your uncle will always be your uncle!"

However, the high spirits of the Spanish fans did not last long. Before the stoppage time in the first half, Dutch left-back Blind suddenly took the ball from the center line on the left. The football traveled about [-] meters in mid-air.

At this time, Pique, who was guarding against Persie, thought that the former was suspected of being offside. However, what he didn't know was that Ramos, who often appeared on the scene of the nerve knife, was dragged behind, so Van Persie, who was in line with Blind's pass, was not offside.

Van Persie did not choose the relatively safe chest-unloading the ball before shooting when he was already two positions beyond Pique, but chose the most difficult leaning and diving to the top. The whole person was extremely coordinated when he jumped into the air.

Casillas even appeared a little sluggish, so he realized that he should make a save when Van Persie completed the header dive, but...it was too late.

Van Persie helped the Netherlands equalize before the end of the first half.

When Rizzoli blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 1:1. In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Neither side made any adjustments.

Obviously, both coaches are quite satisfied with the current lineup.

With the same score, everyone thought that both sides would restrain themselves in the second half. After all, if Spain and the Netherlands, which are relatively strong in Group B, scored one point in the first round, as long as they played normally against Chile and Australia in the remaining two rounds, there would be no problem in scoring points.

But in the 6th minute of the second half, Blind, who sent a precise long pass in the first half, showed his power again. He took the ball from the left to the penalty area, and Robben unloaded the football perfectly in the penalty area.

Because the distance was too close, goalkeeper Casillas had no choice but to declare that he was beyond his reach.

Seeing this, Ai Luo, who was sitting in the hotel where he was staying and watching the game, suddenly frowned, but none of his teammates noticed the change in his expression.

The reason why Ai Luo frowned is very simple, that is, the first three goals of this game are exactly the same as his impression, which means... Spain will lose to the Dutch team in this game.

In other words, fate may not allow Aiello to win a major.

And what happened next seemed to be to verify Aiello's guess. In the 65th minute, Sneijder fired a free kick from the left. Van Persie collided with West goalkeeper Casillas for a header.

Later, I don’t know if Casillas was affected by the continuous loss of the ball. He made a fatal mistake when receiving the ball in the backcourt and stopped the ball five meters away.

4:1
The Dutch team pulled four goals in a row and almost killed the game.
