"GOAL!!!!!! Another victory for England, currently leading 2-0!
Wilshere's pass was just right, and Lin Yun's handling was flawless, but there was a slight glitch in the final shot...
Lin Yunren hit the goal with his left foot after the ball was passed, but Rooney seemed to think that the football was passed to him, so he followed up and kicked it. The two shot at the same time. Fortunately, there was no interference with each other, and the football still flew into the Netherlands. The team’s gate…”
"Why does this scene feel so strangely familiar?"
"The young football player calls the expert straight away!"
"Hahaha, I'll take that ball and thank you two!"
"Football: I just went to class, what's wrong with me?"
"If this ball is put up for auction, someone should buy it, right?"
"Yes, I'll give you fifty cents!"
"I'll give you fifty-five cents!"
Everyone looked up at the scoreboard curiously, wondering to whom the ball would go.
The staff was probably stumped. Although the score of 2-0 had been announced, the name of the scorer below did not appear.
Probably because FIFA was also afraid that Lin Yun's data would overflow, and everyone was waiting impatiently, Rooney's name was announced: Rooney scored his third goal in the World Cup, and Lin Yun was pleased to mention an assist. No one is offended, everyone is happy.
"Rooney scored another goal, and Lin Yun received his fifth World Cup assist. This not only allowed him to surpass Thomas Muller, Kroos and Cuadrado who had 4 assists, and topped the assist list of this World Cup. The first place also brought him to 4th place on the World Cup historical assists list!
In front of him are Maradona with 8 assists, German legend Litbarski and Polish star Lato with 7 assists, and Totti, Pele and Beckham with 6 assists! "
Ranking first in both goals and assists again!
But even so, everyone knows that assists are still inferior to goals, so Rooney turned his head and glanced at Lin Yun sheepishly.
Lin Yun stretched out his hand as if nothing was wrong, and pulled him to the sidelines to celebrate.
Hodgson was also amused by this strange scene, applauding and shaking his head, while Van Gaal's face on the other side had already turned black.
"This scene may become one of the famous scenes in the history of the World Cup. After all, such goals are rare in professional football, let alone the World Cup..."
"Although the goal was attributed to Rooney, the goal was mainly due to Lin Yun's wonderful performance. It seems that Hodgson still has not found a way to get rid of Lin Yun's dependence. If it were not for Lin Yun, maybe the current score between the two sides would still be 0-0.”
After scoring this goal, the first half of the game ended quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the locker room.
Although the England team did not celebrate in advance, the smiles on everyone's faces could no longer be concealed.
World Cup semi-finals, here I come! ! !
Hodgson walked in with a straight face on purpose, but when faced with the excited eyes, he finally couldn't stand it any longer and smiled slowly, "Guys, you did a good job in the first half, but it's not enough! The opponent has There are many dangerous people and we almost scored on several occasions, so it’s not the time to be happy yet!”
Gerrard responded: "Yes, there are still forty-five minutes, brothers, hold on! We are going to the semi-finals and the final! As for the Netherlands, let them continue to be their uncrowned king!"
"This title suits them quite well..."
"Hahaha……"
"Okay, okay, that's almost it. You still have to be careful with Robben in the second half. Of course, Van Persie can't neglect it either."
"I think that kid in their team is a bit dangerous..."
"Ha, are the children in our team in danger?"
Everyone turned their attention to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun smiled and said, "I'm an adult, thank you."
Wilshere smiled maliciously and said: "Hey, in our hometown, as long as they are single, they are children."
"Okay, you have a wife, you are great, you scored a goal..."
"..."
Unlike the lively atmosphere on the England team's side, the atmosphere on the Dutch team's side is simply hard to describe.
Although everyone tries to comfort themselves with words such as "football is round" and "football is a 90-minute game", everyone knows that in such an important game, it is really difficult to catch up after falling behind by two goals. Disaster.
Only Van Gaal could still control the situation. The Dutch team did not habitually break out in internal strife at this time, otherwise they would not even have to play the remaining 45 minutes.
But even so, some people still can't help but secretly complain that Robben is too independent.
If this guy had played more selflessly and unreasonably, they wouldn't have had such a hard time.
When they thought of this, they couldn't help but envy the other side.
Also the top player, Lin Yun never hesitates to pass the ball to his teammates, and now he is starting to rank on the assist list.
With completely different moods, the two sides returned to the court again.
England was obviously a lot more cautious, and the Netherlands looked quite aggressive.
Robben once again became the most active player in the Dutch team, and the Dutch team's offense seemed to have only one tactic left to find Robben.
As we all know, this guy only does three things every day: eat, sleep, and shoot inside.
Today is no exception.
At the beginning of the second half, Robben seemed to have installed some fixed program, rushing along the wing, and then cut inside and hit the ball on the crossbar.
The mood of the fans on both sides naturally rose and fell, but the neutral fans began to become dissatisfied.
The battle between England and the Netherlands, plus the bonus of the quarter-finals, attracted a lot of attention, but the real ratings far exceeded the expectations of major organizations, because in addition to the strong showdown, What everyone wants to see is actually the goal battle between Lin Yun and Van Persie.
Both are well-known professional players of fairy ball. Apart from Ronaldo's amazing turning volley, some of the most exciting goals in this World Cup came from Lin Yun and Robin van Persie.
But now Robben is crazy about stealing the show.
And forget about grabbing it, you cut it here and there, but you still get one...
Van Persie, who ran out of space on the other side, also looked a little unhappy. He muttered a few words in Rotterdam dialect with a sullen face and then exited the penalty area.
"The Dutch team once again missed an opportunity. Their offensive methods are still too single. Robben should improve his shooting efficiency. In such a game, any opportunity close to the penalty area is very rare, let alone a chance to shoot. ... Joe Hart took a goal kick, and Chamberlain made a diagonal pass from the wing to find Wilshere..."
As soon as Chamberlain passed the ball, Sneijder had already rushed towards Wilshere.
The small threat stepped forward and successfully withstood Sneijder's impact.
There is no way he can gain a foothold in the Premier League without a little bit of dodge talent and an intuition for danger. Wilshere has accumulated a lot of experience with the numerous scars all over his body. When Sneijder was about to take action, he tiptoed and passed with a stop, cleverly He dodged the master's little move.
Blind approaches quickly and Wilshere quickly strikes the ball again.
Needless to say, it was Lin Yun who was looking for him.
The tactics of both sides have been simple and crude to the extreme: look for Robben, look for Lin Yun!
Van Gaal on the sidelines couldn't help shouting nonsense: "Don't let Lin Yun get the ball!"
Robben and Indy, who were closest to each other, rolled their eyes at the same time, but still stepped forward to block the ball together immediately.
Lin Yun caught the ball sideways on the wing and immediately made a motion to speed up the ball.
Robben was the first to be fooled, and his center of gravity swayed.
Lin Yun just moved his upper body. After deceiving Robben, he suddenly moved the ball sideways with his feet. He easily passed Robben and cut across the middle for nearly a meter.
Indy was not fooled. He pushed Robben out of the way with one hand and stepped forward directly around the shovel.
Lin Yun did not pause at all, and suddenly flicked the ball toward the wing with his left foot. After passing Indy, he easily pushed the ball back with the inside of his right foot. It was a perfectly fried ball.
After easily passing the two of them, Lin Yun made another move that made Van Persie and Depay envied: instead of dribbling the ball alone, he directly passed the ball to Rooney who was in a better position.
It was a mediocre long pass, but it fell just right behind the defenders.
Rooney succeeded in countering offside and had no time to adjust and dived directly to the top.
There was a muffled bang, and the football was hit hard on the head with hair transplant but baldness.
The hearts of all Dutch people sank to the bottom.
Cillessen in front of the goal jumped up and reached out to fly, but... he didn't touch the ball.
Fortunately, there was another "bang", and the sound of the football hitting the crossbar came.
The football hit the crossbar, hit the lawn, and bounced back.
Cillessen was so happy that he didn't even bother to get up. He immediately jumped forward and held the ejected football firmly in his arms.
Rooney raised his right hand high, "GOAL!!! The ball is in! It's over the line!"
Lampard on the sidelines seemed even more excited than Rooney and rushed to the sidelines, "The ball went in! This ball really went in!"
"Come on, England's goal-line mystery is here again!"
"Poor little fat guy, he finally scored twice, is he going to be hacked again?"
"The dog referee calls it quickly!!!"
Everyone was staring at the referee, but the goal whistle that England fans expected did not sound.
The referee looked at his watch, then raised his head as if nothing happened, without any expression.
Cillessen was relieved and quickly passed the ball out.
The entire stadium was instantly ignited.
The real fans of England and some old hooligans were madly verbally speaking to the Dutch fans, and all kinds of extremely F-containing words were rushed towards the square of Dutch fans without money.
Lineker was furious at first, feeling that the whole world was against England, but he soon realized that goal-line technology was used in this World Cup!
"...The connection between Lin Yun and Rooney once again tore apart the Dutch team's defense, but a controversial scene appeared on the court again. Let's take a look at the replay. Oh, the football did hit the goal line, but it did not cross the goal line. In the past, referees have made correct calls based on goal-line technology.
The discussion about whether to introduce goal-line technology began after a 2005 Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. Because neither the referee nor the linesman saw whether the ball had crossed the goal line, Tottenham scored in the last minute. The goal was disallowed.
It was this incident that led FIFA to start testing Adidas' goal-line system.
In March 2010, the FIFA Council voted 6-2 to permanently abandon the use of this technology. The two votes in favor were cast by the Scottish and English Football Associations. However, due to several incidents during the 2010 World Cup Misjudged, FIFA announced that it would restart discussions on whether to use goal-line technology.
On February 19, 2013, FIFA officially announced that goal line technology would be used in the 2013 Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. This is FIFA's historic decision to introduce high technology to the World Cup after lengthy discussions and testing. , declared war on misjudgments on the court.
The referee just looked at his watch because the result of the goal line system was fed back through the watch on his hand. Judging from the replay, the goal line system made no mistakes this time. It is a pity that if this technology had appeared four years earlier It would be nice to be in the World Cup..."
Rooney was still unwilling to accept the reality and wanted to talk to the referee. Gerrard rushed up and pulled him away from the referee who was getting impatient.
The Dutch team couldn't attack for a long time and began to make substitutions.
Surprisingly, Van Gaal replaced a full-back.
You must know that the Netherlands only used three defenders in this game, and they still had to replace them. It was obvious that Chef Fan had been driven crazy.
"Huntelaar comes on and replaces Indy! The forwards are replaced by defenders, and the Dutch team is going to have its last battle!!!"
"Crazy! Van Gaal is crazy! The Dutch team's defense has already been knocked to pieces, and he actually wants to replace a defender! He wants to rely on De Vrij and Vlaar to face Lin Yun's Shock?!"
With Indy off the field, the three defensive midfielders will definitely retreat further to strengthen the protection of the back line, but if there are fewer defenders, there will be fewer defenders. As long as they can hit the last line of defense, England will face much less defensive pressure. Van Gaal This step is indeed a call to arms that has gone too far.
Van Gaal made the first move, and Hodgson quickly responded. However, compared with Van Gaal's helplessness, Hodgson seemed much more calm because he only made one substitution.
Gerrard exits, Lampard enters.
It is more like a reward for Lampard, allowing the veteran to have more playing time before officially retiring from the national team, and also allowing Gerrard to accept the applause of the fans.
"Hodgson replaced Gerrard with Lampard. In addition to giving Lampard more playing time, the main thing should be to prepare for the semi-finals. After all, Gerrard is not young anymore, but he is still a part of the team. He is an indispensable main force, so it is very necessary for him to get adequate rest..."
The audience burst into applause. Gerrard raised his palms high and gently cheered in response. After arriving on the sidelines, he took off the captain's armband and helped Lampard put it on. The two gave a heavy high-five to complete the handover.
After Lampard came on the field, he did not convey any instructions to the frontcourt players, but he kept running between Wilshere and several defenders. He was obviously telling everyone to strengthen their defense and not to go to the frontcourt if nothing happened. Join in the fun.
As the game continued, the situation on the field did not change much due to this substitution of the two sides, but it was indeed felt that the Netherlands' offensive was strengthening, while England deliberately compressed the formation backwards and focused on defense.
The game soon came to the 66th minute. After successfully cutting inside, Robben rarely made a blind shot. Instead, he faked a shot and passed the ball. He found Hunter who was ambushing on the left side of the goal with a beautiful pick. Lal.
Huntelaar was overjoyed and jumped to head the ball, but Cahill stepped in front of him and allowed Joe Hart to hit the ball out with a single punch.
Huntelaar pushed Cahill from behind in dissatisfaction. Cahill shouted exaggeratedly and fell forward to the ground.
Joe Hart also rushed towards Huntelaar angrily. Together with Glen Johnson, Jagielka and others, Huntelaar was immediately surrounded by a group of strong English men.
What chilled the Dutch fans was that the surrounding Dutch players had no intention of stepping forward to make a rescue. It was the referee who hurried over to help Huntelaar.
If everyone had some expectations for the Netherlands to create a miracle before, this scene made everyone no longer believe that they could come back.
Inside and out, a clean loss.
Now it depends on whether they can score a face-saving goal and go home with dignity.
Robben seems to have finally accepted the reality and is no longer obsessed with playing alone. Instead, he has learned to actively seek cooperation from his teammates. The Dutch team's offense has indeed improved significantly.
In the 70th minute of the game, Hodgson was about to make another substitution, but things changed suddenly on the field.
Robben played one-twos with Sneijder and Depay in succession, and brought the ball to the ribs of England's penalty area.
This time he still didn't cut in, but passed the ball diagonally to the top of the penalty area.
This was essentially a back pass that caught all England players off guard.
"Watch out for Van Persie!!!"
"Stop Robin!"
"Shovel him!!!"
Robin van Persie burst in from behind and rushed towards the spot where the football landed.
Baynes came flying in from the side and made a diving save.
Fans from both sides stood up and watched closely as the two players approached the goal.
Seeing that Baines was about to hit the football on his forehead, Van Persie suddenly jumped high, spread his arms to both sides like wings, and then popped out with his left foot.
"Bang!"
The football was hit and flew towards the England goal like a meteor.
Baines was a step late, but fortunately, he did not hit Van Persie's spikes, but flew directly past Van Persie's feet.
This scene made Van Persie seem to be flying, making the ball even more "magical" and shocking.
Amid the exclamations of "wtf" from fans all over the world, the football crossed the penalty area and accurately penetrated the England team's gate.
2-1.
"GOAL!!!! The Dutch team has recovered a goal! It is the 70th minute of the game and the Dutch team still has a chance! The game is still in suspense!"
"Robben made a long pass to the center, and Van Persie volleyed. The scene that Dutch fans have been waiting for finally happened!!!! Van Persie flew directly over Baines' head, and his terrifying bounce was fully demonstrated at this moment!"
"The Flying Dutchman finally broke through the door of the England team! Robben's assist, Van Persie's goal, everything was so perfect!"
Lampard is a bit angry.
Mahler Gobi, when I'm not on the field you play like Tuo Xiang, but when I'm on the field you explode...
The Dutch didn't celebrate, and the English couldn't do anything to stall for time, and it wasn't time to stall for time yet. The game started again soon.
Van Gaal walked up and down the sidelines excitedly, and soon shouted at the court. Hodgson waved Milner back first and continued to fight with the eleven men on the court.
Lin Yun stood in the middle circle and glanced at Van Persie outside the circle.
This goal obviously made Van Persie regain his confidence and look him in the eye without fear.
When the whistle sounded, Lin Yun passed the ball and ran forward.
Sneijder and Blind immediately turned around and ran wildly after him.
The football moved quickly in England's midfield, and then Glen Johnson passed a long overhead pass to Chamberlain's feet.
Chamberlain glanced at the penalty area.
Rooney was already in position in front of the goal, and Lin Yun had also entered the penalty area and was quickly rushing towards the goal.
He no longer hesitated and quickly started to pass "center".
The reason why I put it in quotation marks is because this cross is a bit outrageous...
"Chamberlain made a mistake in passing the ball and directly passed the ball out... Huh?! Lin Yun?!"
Chamberlain's pass deviated from the goal by about four to five meters and was about to fly out of the baseline.
All the Dutch people breathed a sigh of relief, but a bolt of lightning suddenly struck in front of the football...or to be precise, behind the football.
He jumped up slightly, body in the air, and volleyed with his left foot.
Hit the goal with a volley from zero angle! ! !
