But the Dutch were not discouraged, instead they smiled.
Don't the Portuguese know that in addition to Robben, the Dutch team also has a stronger wing attacker Van der Meyde?
Even Robben is double-teamed, so do you still have anyone to guard against Demade?
Cocu, Davis, DeBoer and others looked in the direction of Van der Meyde.
I found his place very empty.
There is only Pepe in front.
This wave is stable!
Fifty-nine minutes.
The Dutchman, who had been acting on the left for a while, suddenly moved the ball to the right, looking for Van der Meyde.
Van der Meyde dribbled the ball to challenge Pepe, and he wanted to eat the ball alive.
Who knew that Pepe would turn around so fast that he directly stuck Van der Meyde to his side and then used force to squeeze Van der Meyde out of the sideline.
Completed a nice steal.
Pepe then caught up with the football and turned and passed it to Maniche who came over to meet him.
Maniche directly kicked the ball forward.
Deng Kai caught the ball while running, stopped the ball perfectly and moved the football to the right.
The football flew past Heitinga.
Heitinga, who rushed forward, did not expect Deng Kai to catch the ball so smoothly. He pulled Deng Kai but Deng Kai slapped his hand away.
Deng Kaisheng eats Haitinga.
DeBoer quickly made up the defense.
boom!
Deng Kai made a pass and then collided with DeBoer.
DeBoer is not tall and can't do anything about this pass.
Stam blocked Ronaldo, but found that the ball was not for Ronaldo.
The football also flew over Stam's head and towards the back.
There was no one there.
Figo rushes backwards.
However, his start was slow and then his acceleration was slow.
In the end, it was about one meter away from the football.
The football flew out of the baseline.
"Ah! What a pity!"
"This is a great pass! But Figo and Deng Kai don't have a tacit understanding."
"Figo missed a chance to score, it was an absolute opening."
"Figo gave Deng Kai a thumbs up in embarrassment."
"Deng Kai smiled and nodded, without any intention of blaming Figo."
After all, he is a thirty-two-year-old veteran.
It's definitely impossible for him to run as fast as he did when he was young.
Of course, if you don't pass it like this, the chances won't be so good.
This question is somewhat unanswerable.
This attack looked no different from the Portuguese team's previous attack, and it still failed.
But for the Portuguese team, it is of great significance.
Because this proves Deng Kai's tactical thinking.
Just fight this way!
No one will believe this idea once it is spread.
This is equivalent to deliberately giving Deng Kai space to play when playing against Portugal.
Van der Meyde is one of the core offensive players of the Dutch team at this stage.
He is wearing jersey No. 7!
Sixty-three minutes.
Van der Meyde and Maniche got into a fight.
What is surprising is that after dribbling for a while, he was still unable to get past Maniche, and finally chose to pass back.
He doesn't seem to have extraordinary self-confidence.
However, Seedorf then defeated Maniche in a one-two with Van der Meyde, and Van der Meyde chased the ball.
boom!
Pepe put the tackle directly and kicked the football out of the sideline in advance, without giving Van der Meyde a chance to pass.
Van der Meyde also slowed down early to avoid being kicked.
If it had been Robben, he might have accelerated and clicked the football out in advance, then jumped over by himself, making a beautiful leap over the madhouse!
The road ahead will be smooth.
The Dutch team took a side kick.
Van der Meyde was once again entangled by Pepe, and he could only pass back to Cocu.
Viana and Deco started to press.
Cocu further passed back to DeBoer.
De Boer passes back to Van der Sar.
Ronaldo also started pressing and rushed towards Van der Sar.
Van der Sar could only kick the football away.
He still wanted to find Van der Meyde.
As a result, Pepe directly defeated Van der Meyde and successfully gave the football point to Fonte on the back right side.
Fonte catches the ball and moves forward, ready to kick.
Seedorf also slowed down.
boom!
Seedorf didn't realize what happened until the football rolled past him.
"This... Fonte! Fonte advanced with the ball! He passed Seedorf directly!"
Although it is hard to believe it, Fonte did eat Seedorf alive.
Seedorf: MMP!
Fonte looked at Maniche, then moved the ball again, heading directly towards the center.
Keep pushing!
This caused Cocu, who rushed towards Maniche, to miss the first opportunity to intercept Fonte.
By the time Davis moved over, Fonte had even crossed the midfield line.
Both Triguera and Maxa were relatively calm in the coaching bench.
The center back advances... This is also allowed in Deng Kai's tactics. The Manchester City center back's passing skills can be considered excellent wherever he goes.
It's just... I didn't expect Fonte to be able to play like this.
I thought only Pepe, Chiellini and Thiago Silva had this ability.
Fonte smiled slightly at this.
Although he is not good at it.
But he is so cool!
Occasionally, a wave of cool operations will take you by surprise.
boom!
Fonte made a pass before Cocu and Davis came over.
Join me, Team Kai!
But his through-thrust is really average. What others give him is a scalpel-thrust, but what he gives him is a dull knife.
This gave De Boer the opportunity to make a tackle before Deng Kai.
Portugal received a corner kick.
Deng Kai turned around and gave Fonte a thumbs up.
interesting.
Fonte's brain has always been very useful, but his ability is too low.
This guy is not suitable to be a player. He is suitable to be a coach. He should be good at teaching people.
The camera went to the sidelines.
The Dutch team seems to be making a substitution.
This is understandable, because at the beginning of the second half, the Portuguese team's targeting worked and they began to gain the upper hand in the game.
If they continue to play like this, the Dutch team is likely to lose the ball.
So the Dutch team must take action.
"What? The Dutch team chose to replace Robben?"
"Oh, this substitution is questionable."
"Although Robben suddenly became ineffective in the second half, he did provide two assists. He stayed on the court and was a deterrent to the Portuguese team."
"Of course, Boswirt is a defensive midfielder, so it doesn't seem wrong to replace Robben with him to strengthen the defense."
"Two goals are enough for the Dutch team to reach the semi-finals."
The Dutch team's substitution ideas triggered many discussions among spectators.
Some football players think this decision is right.
At the beginning of the second half, Robben became invisible. He didn't receive the football very much, and he didn't create a threat when he did.
In this case, it is better to replace this "transparent person" with a defensive expert.
What?
Why don't you replace Van der Meyde?
Come on, Van der Meyde's reputation, qualifications, and tactical status are far stronger than Robben's in this Dutch team.
And he was much more active in the second half and created threats many times.
Besides, didn't he also score a goal in the first half? If the data is about the same, he must be replaced by a young player.
Looking at the Dutch team's substitutions, Deco felt chills in his heart.
This... I'm afraid this was also part of Deng Kai's previous plan, right?
