Chapter 1281 Stalemate!

Sports City Stadium.

The World Cup semi-final between the Chinese team and the Dutch team will be staged here.

The stadium atmosphere was still full of enthusiasm. When Situ Yunbing was walking in the player tunnel, he stopped at the front of the Dutch team.

The tall and tall Van Dijk stared at Situ Yunbing with a smile. After the former master and apprentice looked at each other for a while, they hugged each other.

Van Dijk smiled at Situ Yunbing: "Boss, I had a hunch when I knew that the Chinese team was participating in the World Cup. We will definitely meet on this stage!"

Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "But I don't want to see you at all."

"This joke is not interesting, in my opinion, the Chinese team is not weaker than the Dutch team.

It's hard to say who will win today. "

Van Dijk said it sincerely, without affectation.

He knows Situ Yunbing better than anyone here, even the players of the Chinese team.

At the same time, he also has almost faith-like trust and respect for Situ Yunbing.

Situ Yunbing patted him on the shoulder and blessed him: "Don't slack off in the club, you have more time to fight for retirement than I did in the Champions League!"

Van Dijk is 31 years old this year. Due to his excellent physical fitness, his peak period may last for another two years, but after all, he has come to the later stage of his career.

Now he has 7 Champions League trophies in hand, which is the same as Situ Yunbing won the Champions League. The difference is that Situ Yunbing has one in Monaco, while Van Dijk has won one more in the past four years under the leadership of Alonzo Champions League.

He only needs to win the Champions League once more, and he will surpass Situ Yunbing in the number of titles won!

Speaking of big names, the biggest star in this game is none other than Van Dijk!
Van Dijk revealed his true feelings when Situ Yunbing was about to leave, saying: "BOSS, I really want to play under your command before retiring, even if it's only for one day, one game."

Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "It depends on human effort, there may not be no chance, well, it will start soon, get ready."

The players of the Chinese team and the Dutch team all looked at the back of Situ Yunbing walking out of the player tunnel. They all understood Van Dijk's respect for Situ Yunbing. After all, Situ Yunbing was his Bole, not only discovered him, but also It is what made him.

Xiong has dominated the world's No. [-] central defender for nearly eight years!

Van Dijk even came second in the Ballon d'Or selection two years ago!

This is the highest ranking of a defender in the Golden Globe Awards after Cannavaro won the Ballon d'Or as a defender!
After Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium, he saw Ronald Koeman on the sidelines, and the two nodded in tacit agreement.

The sports city stadium was full of hustle and bustle, and the fans cheered for the teams they supported without reservation.

"CCTV, CCTV, good evening, viewers and friends, welcome to the 2022 Qatar World Cup semi-finals!
The World Cup has entered the final stage, and there are only 4 games left, two semi-finals, a third place game, and a final!
Today's first semi-final will be played by the Chinese team against the Dutch team!
The Chinese team defeated England in the last knockout round and advanced to the semi-finals. I believe Chinese fans still have fresh memories. Unfortunately, Zhao Fenghua, Luo Xin and Luo Cheng, the three absolute main players in that game, announced their retirement from the World Cup after the game. , They sat in the stands to watch the game today.

On the other side, our opponents, the Dutch team, have a neat lineup. The Dutch team has shown unprecedented stability in this competition!
3场小组赛，2场淘汰赛，他们一共打出了5个1:0.
It doesn't need to be earth-shattering to win, 1:0 is enough!
Moreover, the Dutch team's 5 goals were scored by 4 players, including 1 penalty kick, 1 corner kick attack, 1 free kick and 2 goals in sports.

It can be said that the opponents of the Dutch team with zero seals in 5 games showed strong defensive strength, but the offensive aspect was obviously weak. However, as the Dutch media predicted before the game, the Chinese team was the best opponent the Dutch team encountered in the final. none of them.

I think if the three absolute main players of the Chinese team can appear on the stage, the Dutch media will definitely not dare to say so.

I believe that no matter what kind of situation we are facing today, the Chinese team will definitely go all out to win the game, and our tenacious fighting spirit will not make us bow to the Dutch team.

Now let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.

The Chinese team started today with 433.
Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.

Defenders: Abdulhamiti, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Lei.

Midfielders: Zhang Zhibang, He Haolai, Huang Bozhou.

Forwards: Huang Zichang, Wu Lei, Guo Xuantu.

Today He Haolai, Huang Zichang, and Guo Xuantu replaced Luo Cheng, Luo Xin, and Zhao Fenghua who were unable to play.

Hope they can perform better than expected.

The Dutch team started 4312 today.

Goalkeeper: Cillessen.

Defenders: Dumfries, Van Dijk, De Ligt, Blind.

Midfielders: Van den Beek, De Roon, Wijnaldum, De Jong.

Forwards: Belgwijn, Depay.

There were no unexpected starting and adjustments for the Dutch team.

Now for the pre-match kick-off ceremony, then the game will officially start. "

When the Chinese national anthem was played, all the Chinese fans in the audience sang loudly together.

This World Cup came to the final stage, and the whole world suddenly realized that the Chinese team was attracting attention like the protagonist. No matter whether they win or lose today, they will go to the end of the World Cup.

Either to compete for the championship, or to compete for the third place.

After the pre-match kick-off ceremony, the two teams took a pre-match photo, and then prepared to fight.

Today the captain's armband was worn on Bai Yuanfan's arm. Before the Dutch team kicked off, Bai Yuanfan specially clapped his hands to boost the morale of the team and cheer everyone up.

The referee blew the whistle, the Dutch team kicked off, the Chinese team defended firmly in the backcourt, and the Dutch team was not in a hurry to attack, even though Fleet Street had reminded other teams that if they encountered the Chinese team after the last round, they must start from the game. The first minute began to put pressure on the Chinese team!
Don't let the Chinese team delay the game.

But the Dutch team apparently ignored the words of Fleet Street as deaf ears.

Ronald Koeman's mentality is more Buddhist. He always believes that the Dutch team can't mess up.

This is actually the same mentality as Situ Yunbing led the Chinese team. They are all defensive and counterattack teams, so why bother about the opponent's posture.

The threat points in the Dutch team's offense are actually clear at a glance.

The two forwards, Bergwijn and Depay have personal dribbling and breakthrough abilities, and the midfielder Druen has the ability to organize and penetrate behind, while De Jong and Van den Beek are only in the role of organizing a series of offensives. As for the full-back assists Also very limited.

It is conceivable that the Dutch team is mainly defensive.

The defensive iron triangle of the Dutch team in this competition is the most stable. The three of Wijnaldum, Van Dijk and Dericht almost make the opponent's attack group feel desperate!
Of course, the assistance of the giants Blind and Dumfries is indispensable, plus Van den Beek and De Jong themselves have played central defenders before, and there is no doubt about their ability to return to defense.

The Dutch team, whose overall ability is stronger on the defensive end, really needs to catch opportunities when the opponent's pressure is too large to play a defensive counterattack.

As a result, the encounter between the Chinese team and the Dutch team will present a tacit stalemate in the game.

When the Dutch team hit the frontcourt with a wave of positional warfare with little investment, Depay tried to cut in from the side and was intercepted by Zhang Zhibang. Then the Chinese team launched a fast break and did not choose to waste time in the middle and backcourt.

If Zhao Fenghua was on the court, Situ Yunbing would choose to do this without hesitation.

But it is a pity that the Chinese team does not even have a midfield commander today. If the Dutch team does not press up and press, there should be no problem with reverse footing, but once the opponent presses up and presses, the midfield may become a mess.

In that case, it would be like playing with fire and setting yourself on fire.

Just don’t fall, the Dutch team is not strong in offense anyway, the Chinese team took turns in the midfield today, He Haolai and Huang Bozhou rushed to the frontcourt to support at any time, so that Situ Yunbing can also see if there is a chance to break the Dutch team’s attack goal.

It will definitely be difficult, but if you don't try, you really don't have a chance.

Even if it is a penalty shootout, the Chinese team is still at a disadvantage. After all, Luo Cheng, Luo Xin, and Zhao Fenghua are among the best in the team in terms of their psychological quality, ability to resist pressure, and their free throw skills. of three people.

When Guo Xuantu quickly passed the ball on the left side of the frontcourt, Wu Lei went directly ahead and prepared to go forward against offside.

For the Dutch team, Situ Yunbing must be the most familiar with Van Dijk.

It is very difficult to break through Van Dijk with a frontal pass, not to mention one-on-one, basically there is no chance.

The only chance to break through his defense is to hit behind him!
Therefore, if Wu Lei acts as the fulcrum, then the work of cutting inside can only be handed over to Guo Xuantu, but Guo Xuantu is obviously lacking in experience.

The most deadly thing in the Chinese team's attack today is not the lack of Luo Cheng and Luo Xin, but Zhao Fenghua!
Without Zhao Fenghua, it can be said that the Chinese team no longer has the ability to make a deadly pass in the frontcourt!

When Van den Beek was about to attack Guo Xuantu with Dumfries, Guo Xuantu made an emergency stop and suddenly picked up the ball and made a breakthrough in the middle. Van den Beek stretched his legs and was dodged by Guo Xuantu.

When Van den Beek made an emergency stop and turned around to chase, Guo Xuantu had already tried to send a kick over the top near the middle of the frontcourt.

But Guo Xuantu was obviously worried that his pass would be confiscated by the goalkeeper Cillesen, so he didn't dare to use too much force on the ball.

As a result, Wu Lei sprinted against offside but slowed down, while Van Dijk took two steps back and took off with a header to clear the siege.

Wu Lei also took off when Van Dijk made a header clearance. He hit Van Dijk in the air with the last step, which made Van Dijk almost lose his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

The referee whistled Wu Lei for a foul, and gave him a verbal warning. Wu Lei supported Van Dijk, who was staggering and unstable after landing. The two had been teammates in Hamburg for three years, even if they were few. Have the opportunity to fight side by side, but are by no means strangers.

After standing still, Van Dijk stroked Wu Lei's head indifferently, not paying attention to it.
