Green Life

Vol 4 Chapter 56: Evenly matched

"OhShit", Lineker, Wilson, and Neville in the studio covered their faces and were shocked. The penalty kick was another **** penalty miss!

For many years, they haven't beaten it once, and now they don't even score a penalty kick in regular time. Isn't this a curse? What is a curse?

In the 1990s, Italy lost Germany in a penalty shootout in the semifinals of the World Cup.

In 1996, England's native European Cup was still a semi-final penalty and lost to Germany.

In the 1998 World Cup in France, the 1/8 finals lost to Argentina on a penalty kick.

In 2004, the Portuguese European Cup, the quarter-final penalty kick lost to Portugal.

In 2006, the World Cup in Germany was still a penalty in the quarter-finals, losing to Portugal.

It has been another 20 years. They have never won a penalty kick in the competition, as if they have been cursed. Now England players are afraid of a penalty kick.

Before the game, they also specially practiced a penalty kick, which is like a lingering shadow. Without failing one more time, the hint in their heart strengthened by one point until it was unbreakable.

Lampard held his head up to the sky and sighed. The penalty is okay. He has power and angle. Why was he thrown out? Why is this? Many English fans are also asking the same question, but no one can answer.

The little superstition that he and Terry and Ashley Cole urinate in the same urinal before the game did not help him through the difficulties this time, perhaps because this is not Stamford Bridge.

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity, what a pity," Duan Xuan said regretfully, "If Lampard can score this penalty, England's situation will be completely different."

"Hey, this" Zhang Lu said with a smile, "I don't know if it will increase the psychological burden of the English players. Penalties are their biggest problem. Don't get out of balance."

Capello realized this problem in an instant. During the crazy celebration in the Netherlands, he pressed his hands on the sidelines and shouted at the team, "Steady, stabilize, it's okay, play as usual!"

The Dutch fans are like winning the championship, and the noise they made instantly became several times louder. The fans in white clothes are a little faint, the ball is indeed a blow to morale.

"Eon, forget the penalty, let's continue." After a moment of depression, Maqin immediately slapped his hands and loudly encouraged the teammates near the penalty area. There was no time to regret and regret, he was going to take a corner kick.

As he ran to the corner zone, he turned around and held a "3" sign with his teammates. This is the signal of corner kick tactics, which means that only two or three people are left in the penalty zone to grab points, and the others return to avoid the Dutch counterattack.

They have prepared several sets of corner kick tactics, and which one to use on the field is up to Mark Qin to decide on his own based on the situation on the field. Now the morale of the Netherlands is booming, he has to be conservative.

"Let’s take a look at this corner kick, forget the penalty just now, the game officially starts now," Lineker sighed, but still seemed a bit disappointed. "There are relatively few people going up in England, and there are only special centre-backs. Going up inside, it may be a counterattack against the Netherlands"

Mark Qin looked at the three or two kittens in the penalty area. Crouch and Terry focused on the small penalty area, Rooney pointed forward, Gerrard pointed behind, and Lampard ambushed outside the large penalty area.

He decided to cooperate and try to improve morale, otherwise the team might not forget the penalty for a while, so he made another gesture.

Watching Rooney's running position, he hit the ball with a kick, but it was a little fluttering, not towards the small penalty area, but falling through the ribs after passing the penalty area. If you want to talk about the front point, the speed is too slow.

Matteisen, who was defending a tactical corner kick, looked back and saw that Rooney was running out from the previous point. It was obviously a trained tactical cooperation. Despite that much, he hurried to double-team to prevent Rooney from stopping the ball in the penalty area.

But Rooney, who was following Van Bommel behind him, didn't plan to stop the ball. He made a forehead, and then gave the ball back to Maqin who was not offside from the corner flag area.

"Mark, eh? This is... a tactical corner kick. Rooney gave him the ball again. He got space on the flank." Mattyson and Robben, who had retracted their ribs, immediately turned around and used the fastest speed. Press over.

But Maqin was waiting for this opportunity. He even stopped and dialed on the back of his right outer instep. He didn't adjust at all. Taking advantage of the space, he swiped his right foot directly outside the penalty area to shoot with a curve ball.

Shooting in the cross area outside the penalty area, many superstars have scored goals, such as Figo, Mark's foot is on the right side of the penalty area, and when he walks back, he directly spins the goal with his right foot inside the arc.

"Mark, cross..., no, shoot..." Lineker realized that the ball was wrong, and shouted.

The ball circled a rapid arc, like a free kick, and went straight to the near corner of the goal. Dutch goalkeeper Steklunberg was shocked. He was originally in the center of the goal to prevent a pass. He didn't look right and hurried to the near corner. Move to jump up and save.

"Oh...", there was a huge exclamation from the stands. It seemed that the ball was only less than 10 centimeters above the crossbar, whizzing past, and the goal was swaying.

"Suddenly threatening shot! From the cooperation of Mark and Rooney, a good ball, that's it, it doesn't matter, eon", Lineker seemed to cheer himself up and cheer up the fans.

The Dutch coach Van Marwijk was quite dissatisfied with the ball. He reprimanded the players in Dutch loudly on the sidelines. It was a crime to give Maqin such a space. He emphasized it more than once before the game.

This shot more or less dissipated some of England's penalty kicks at the beginning of the game, and also made the Dutch players feel the offensive threat that England can create.

"Good shot," Zhang Lu praised. "England started with two extremely threatening offenses. Although the penalty kick was missed, the whole team was in good condition. Now they can still have a good offensive as long as they maintain a good mentality. Superior"

Both teams experienced rollercoaster-like ups and downs in the opening game. After Steklunberg took the goal kick, they both forgot the offensive round and rejoined the game.

The Dutch team's tactics are defensive counterattacks, but the players' skills are generally better than those of England. After all, they are the originator of all-round play and the cradle of European youth training talents before the Bosman Act.

So their main style of play is still on the ground. It can be seen from the fact that they gave the goal kick to the defender instead of throwing a big foot. Right back Matteisen received the ball and pushed forward without encountering any obstacles.

England quickly placed the defensive line behind the center line. This is the second strategy that Capello arranged to compress the Dutch starting space in the backcourt. Without space, their two wings Robben Van Persie's greatest power will be limited.

Mattesson played for Hamburg, he is also a versatile defender and the backbone of the Dutch team's defense this time. He played right back, but his dominant foot is indeed the left foot.

As soon as he was close to the center line, Rooney immediately forced him up, Mattyson did not continue to move forward, seeing that there was an opportunity to hand it directly to Robben in front.

Their defense is stable in the backcourt. 4 guards and 2 midfielders will never lose their position easily. They give their opponents a chance to counterattack. They are only coping with the offense. The main interleaving is done by the first 4 people, because they are in front of 4 Individuals are very mobile.

"Roben, dribbling with his back sideways, fast," Duan Xuan explained. Peter Pan finally reduced his glass leg attributes when he arrived at Bayern, and began to show his right wing position second only to Messi. .

With a hot-wheeled pace, Cole has no choice but to follow him. Kuyt's position is quite flexible. Robben is inside. He pulled to the right just like in Liverpool. He was on the right wing last season. He scored more than a dozen goals in his position and is no stranger to this place.

"Roben, the ball is beautiful. A concealed pass was passed to Kuyt, who was pulled to the side. This is Mark Qin's old teammate." Barry quickly made up for the gap left behind Cole. Withstood Kuyt.

Both teams have done a careful study of each other and have corresponding strategies for defense and response to every point. Kuyt is not entangled. Seeing Barry's pressure is very tight, he directly drove the ball back, and then directly handed it over. Sneijder.

"Makqin, he and Sneijder met, a direct dialogue between the two top midfielders in the world today." Before the words were finished, Sneijder didn't want to talk at all. The direct kick was just a long pass. Go straight to the left.

Just now, the Dutch team's attack on the right and Kuyt's sideways naturally pulled the focus of England's defensive focus. Barry went to fill up, and Gerrard on the right naturally made up the middle.

This is the natural movement of the defensive system. It is inevitable for any team. The person who designed the width of the court was a genius. This kind of length and width means that no matter how you guard it, it is impossible to statically guard all the gaps. Football is becoming more and more interesting in the fighting of wits in this sport.

"Van Bronckhorst, he came up and received the ball. There was a short vacuum on the right side of England. Gerrard is rushing over." But Van Bronckhorst didn't want to play too complicated. In this session of the Netherlands, just like changing the soul, absolutely no show of technology.

Before the 45-degree cross was in the area, he directly raised his left foot, and a rotating curve ball went straight to the front point of the penalty area. Just now Kuytra got to the side, and General Fan on the left naturally topped it. on.

At this time, Fan Tesi, oh no, Van Persie has not escaped the shackles of injury, but the seed of the top center has begun to show up. In November of this season, he has scored 6 goals in 6 consecutive games and quickly let the Emirates Stadium. Forgot Adebayor.

It's a pity that I was knocked down by injuries as soon as I took off. I didn't pay until more than three months later, and I managed to catch up with this South Africa World Cup.

After he reached the center position, he quickly got rid of the forward charge. Although Carragher was struggling to fight for the top, this one-on-one sense of smell still made the soon-to-upgrade General Fan Da grab a point, powerful. A header goal!

Joe Hart just subconsciously jumped slightly and prepared to save. In fact, the speed of the ball has exceeded his prediction. He can only watch the ball quickly knock down the billboard from the outside of the post, if it hits the goal. Inside, he estimated that he could not make a save response, and he was shocked in a cold sweat.

"Van Persie, grab a header, beautiful, oh yo, wrong, so dangerous," Duan Xuan said in surprise, "The Dutch attack is very direct, but it really creates a threat."

"This is the characteristic of this Dutch team~www.readwn.com~ Zhang Lu said, "I don't play any complicated things with you at all. I don't hesitate to shoot when I see the opportunity in the frontcourt, relying on these 4 people. Individual scoring ability to solve the battle"

"Well, yes," Duan Xuan also echoed, "In 5 games, the Netherlands won 2 goals in the game against Japan, and all the other games were small wins with 1 goal. Very pragmatic.

This time the sideline jumped and cursed and replaced it with Capello. He also emphasized the rotation of the Dutch front court trio before the game countless times, but the result was still beaten, and the two central defenders did not grab it in advance. point.

But this is the star. If they can be prevented because of the specially arranged tactics before the game, there is no chance that they will not be able to play out and become a star in such a fiercely competitive European League. Sometimes their inspiration flashes. No matter how much preparation you do before the game, you can't help it.

About ten minutes into the game, the two teams each completed a very threatening attack. Except for England's accidental penalty kick, the scene can be said to be evenly matched.

For England goal kick, Kuyt, who rushed to Mark Qin's side, smiled heartily at him, "Mark, I'll follow you today"

Mark Qin:...
