Godfather of national football

Chapter 200 Battle against the Netherlands ([-])
The commentator for this game is Zhan Jun, of course it is from an online platform. First of all, he briefly introduced the starting lineup of the Chinese team.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team for this game has changed quite a lot.

Goalkeeper - Wang Dalei
Defense line - Mu Fei, Li Weifeng, Yin Di, Geng Chong
Back midfielder - Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting
Avant-garde line - Shen Rui, Hao Junmin, Chen Gelin
Single striker - Ji Ke

"The absence of Zhou Dun and Fang Suo has a great impact on the Chinese team's game. These two heroes are already the cornerstone of the Chinese team's defense."

"In addition, it is a pity that Jihai is absent, but in all fairness, it is time for the Chinese team to renew. Even if Jihai participates in the next World Cup, he will also enter the coaching staff."

"Roben... Robben cuts inside, Geng Chong is chasing, Robben shoots!"

*****
The Dutch team's offense is very fast, especially Robben on the right.Because he played left back, Geng Chong encountered too many counterfeit Robben in his career, such as Iranian Robben, Korean Robben, and Chinese Super League Robben, but this time Robben is a fake Dutch Peter Pan.

Robben dribbled the ball in from the side, pretending to go to the bottom, then flicked the instep, turned into an inside cut, swung the angle and kicked the goal directly, the ball flew, and the audience "whooped".

Li Guo looked at the time, it was 25 seconds into the game, the Dutch team had already completed their first shot, and it was obvious that they were fully fired.

"Geng Chong, Geng Chong, don't stay still,"

Li Guo happened to be close to Geng Chong. He was afraid that Geng Chong would be knocked out by Robben, so he reminded loudly that Robben often knocked his opponents to the ground in the Bundesliga. Li Guo didn't want such a thing to happen to Geng Chong.

Geng Chong puffed out his chest, and gave Li Guo a big thumbs-up, indicating that he was fine.

Before the game, the Chinese team had expected that Robben's side would be very fierce. Feng Xiaoting needed to help Geng Chong in defense. Li Guo pointed to Feng Xiaoting, and then pointed to the left side of the team.

Soon the Dutch team's offense came again. The forward midfielder Sneijder's pass was like a navigation device. The 30-meter long pass went to Robben on the right.

This scene looked nothing on the TV, but as the head coach, Li Guo was very envious. The little skills of the Dutch players are awesome. With such a long pass, Robben unloaded the ball like super glue on the back of his shoe.

With good ball stopping skills, Geng Chong can't grab it, and Robben's next moves can be better connected.

Accelerating, waving the ball, Geng Chong is like facing a big enemy. Robben is not only fast, but he will turn and stop suddenly at any time. Robben changes direction just like in the game, as if he is not affected by inertia, which makes the defensive players uncomfortable.

Geng Chong couldn't defend Robben, so he could only delay the opponent's attack. In this way, the second point, Feng Xiaoting, was particularly important.

After Robben changed lanes, he was facing Feng Xiaoting. The Dutchman wanted to change lanes again, but Feng Xiaoting made a timely kick and swept the ball out of the sideline.

*****
The Dutch team is like a hero who is proficient in eighteen martial arts. There are many weapons in the arsenal, and Robben is just one of them.

Soon, another obscure Dutch player dominated the attack, and that was Van Bommel.

Van Bommel has played for Barcelona and Bayern, and he can be regarded as a top midfielder in Europe. His characteristic is that he handles the ball extremely simply. Basically, Van Bommel never stops the ball in the midfield, and he always drops it with one kick.

Another point is that Van Bommel's long-range shots are very good. Li Guo remembers that in the knockout match between Bayern and Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League one year, Van Bommel made the infamous "open umbrella" after scoring a goal. This is an insulting action in Europe. After the game, Van Bommel was suspended by UEFA for one game.

The Dutch team pretended to be attacking from the wing, Dirk Dirk suddenly passed back to the center, and Van Bommel hit the ball with a burst shot.

Because the Chinese team did not feel that Van Bommel was a threat, there were no Chinese defensive players around more than ten meters around him when he shot.

Van Bommel shot the ball very low, almost sticking to the lawn, but the ball was very fast. Such a ball is most afraid of changing the line after hitting someone in the middle.

Wang Dalei moved to the left, but the last thing he wanted to see happened. The ball hit Yin Di's leg. The latter didn't dodge, and the ball changed course!
It was too late for Wang Dalei to run to the right again, so he could only kick his feet on the spot and pounce to the right. Unexpectedly, Wang Dalei jumped up like a green onion on dry ground, and he jumped quite high. He lifted the ball and the ball was dragged out of the baseline.

It was also because of his performance in this game that from then on, Wang Dalei was given the nickname, King of Tota.

*****
"Da Lei made a Banks-style save," Zhan Jun roared.

Banks is known as the best goalkeeper in England's history, and he often made incredible saves, so later people used "Banks-style saves" to describe those incredible saves.

"Da Lei just now seemed to have springs on the soles of his feet. It's unbelievable. The height of the flight is too high,"

If Li Guo could hear Zhan Jun's explanation at this time, he would definitely laugh, "This time, there are really springs under Wang Dalei's feet."

A must-have goal was saved by the goalkeeper of the Chinese team. The Dutch players held their heads in regret and continued to attack soon.

Under the continuous attack of the Dutch team, the Chinese team can still find a few counterattack opportunities, which are the kind of team cooperation of two or three people.

Li Guo asked his players not to stop the ball in the frontcourt, but to shoot when they had the opportunity. On the one hand, the opponent was strong, and it was impossible for the Chinese team to calmly organize an attack.

Another point is that simple counterattacks are also the football philosophy that Li Guo pursues, such as Simeone's 8-second counterattack philosophy later.

From the first half to 15 minutes, the Chinese team had 2 shots, while the Dutch team had 8 shots. The Dutch team had an absolute advantage.

The possession rate of the Dutch team is also higher, but there is one statistic that the two teams are similar, that is, the running distance. Li Guo's football philosophy is that running is king, so Li Guo is still very satisfied with the running of the players.

At this time, Van Marwijk also stood up, and he made a gesture of squeezing the left and right hands in the middle. Li Guo didn't know what it meant, but it probably meant that the sideways moved towards the middle, or that the two sides changed positions.

Sure enough, Dirk Drivet ran to Geng Chong's side, and Robben went to Mu Fei's side. The switch of the two wingers was another new challenge for the Chinese team's defense. After all, the Chinese team needed to adapt again, but the Dutch team couldn't give you time to adapt. Soon, the Dutch team launched the most threatening attack of the game.
