The result of the semi-finals was indeed the same as in the previous life. Uruguay was eliminated by the Netherlands 3:2, while Spain defeated the German tank 1:0.
The two teams met in the final. Xiao Yu had previously told Van der Wiel and Stekelenberg that if the game entered overtime, he must be careful about Fabregas and Iniesta.
Xiao Yu had always wanted to see what changes would occur in the final, so he watched the final with Elena in a tavern in Chengdu.
To Xiao Yu's surprise, he actually met one of his fans here, and he generously took photos with them and signed autographs. Later, under the arrangement of the tavern owner, he sat in an independent box and was able to watch the World Cup final.
However, there seemed to be no change in the game. In the first half, Xavi Alonso still did not escape De Jong's insidious kicks. The referee Weber still only gave a yellow card.
In the 62nd minute, Robben still missed a single goal.
The two teams entered overtime. In the 116th minute, it was originally Bluffhead's mistake in stopping the ball that caused Cesc Fabregas to pass the ball to Xiaobai to complete the winning goal.
Perhaps because Xiao Yu's reminder worked, Van der Wiel magically appeared and destroyed Cesc Fabregas' pass.
Just when Xiao Yu thought that the two teams would enter a penalty shootout to decide the winner, in the 121st minute, it was the young Iniesta, but this time he did not choose to shoot, but passed the ball to the goalkeeper. He replaced his teammate Fernando Torres, who was in a better position, and Torres shot an empty goal to beat the Netherlands!
Xiao Yu was also very helpless about this. It seemed that although he, a little butterfly, had flapped his wings, there were some established things that were not so easy to change.
What Xiao Yu didn't expect was that because of this change, Holy Infant Torres once again became the target of Abu's pursuit. Earlier, because of Xiao Yu, Abu had actually given up the idea of Torres.
But in the end, fate was not as good as fate, because Xiao Yu's reminder allowed Torres to shine again in the World Cup, with a decisive kick, which made Abramovich pay attention to this Spanish striker again.
Xiao Yu didn't know this at this time. The most important thing for him was to continue traveling happily with his mother.
——
After this round of travel, it was time for Xiao Yu to return to Amsterdam.
Martin Jol told Xiao Yu that on July 23, Ajax had a warm-up match with the Premier League team Chelsea at the Amsterdam Arena.
Xiao Yu and Elena also persuaded their mother to go to the Netherlands with them, but this time their mother still refused. She still told Xiao Yu that she was really happy to accompany her to visit so many places during the summer vacation.
Reluctantly bidding farewell to her mother, Xiao Yu and his party returned to Amsterdam this time. Dapeng will also go to London to learn some essential skills for agents from Zahavi.
But at the first stop, Dapeng chose to go to Amsterdam at Xiao Yu's invitation, and it was here that he made his first contract with Elena.
Eriksson is also honored to be the first player under the Elf Agency.
Xiao Yu also discovered that there are new faces in the team. In fact, Xiao Yu has also seen that Elham Daoy, who was at Alkmaar last season, transferred to Ajax in July.
Some join, and some leave. Xiao Yu discovered in the locker room that Elham Daoy's jersey was actually No. 9, and it was Pantalic who wore the No. 9 jersey last season and worked closely with him.
After asking, I learned that Pantalic and veteran Romedal had transferred to Olympiakos, and Xiao Yu didn't even say goodbye to his two teammates.
It feels like I was still calling "Lao Pan" and "Lao Luo" a few days ago, but now I can only communicate through WeChat.
In addition, the Spanish veteran Gabri, who often passes the ball to him, chose to take a short break this season and returned to his hometown to participate in youth training. After all, his playing time cannot be guaranteed, so he might as well choose to quit.
Kavitaniqi and Kennedy Bakcioglu, who were not very familiar with Xiao Yu, also chose to leave. In this way, Ajax's forward line only has Soleimani and Suarez, Xiao Yu and newcomer Elham said goodbye.
As for Seok Hyun-joon, because he couldn't get a chance to play in the first team, he returned to the youth team again and went to the Dutch second league this season under the leadership of Bergkamp.
Xiao Yu felt a little entangled in his heart. If he chose to leave at this time, it seemed that Ajax's forward line would be empty.
But when Xiao Yu stepped onto the grass of the Amsterdam Arena, the game was the main theme that should be focused on.
He decided that he would perform well in this game, which could be regarded as a good explanation to Ajax, no matter what the choice is in the future.
Because some people left and the value of many players increased significantly after the World Cup, Ajax also prepared new contracts for many players. Of course, many people's jersey numbers were also changed.
Also because many players were not able to return to the team as scheduled, Martin Jol arranged a 4-4-2 formation for this game.
The goalkeeper position is still No. 1 Stekelenberg.
The two central defenders, No. 3 Toby Alverdere and No. 4 Vergentong, can now be called the Belgian double stars.
Left back No. 5 Anita, judging by the number, Martin Jol seems to be ready to turn him into a qualified left back rather than a guest appearance.
The right back is still the unbeatable No. 2 Van der Wiel. It was his performance that made Xiaobai lose the chance to win in the World Cup final, but instead made Fernando Torres successful.
The defensive midfielder is still the veteran Dezeu, but now he is wearing the No. 20 jersey.
The three midfielders are No. 8 Eriksen, No. 10 Sim De Jong and No. 11 Emmanuelson.
Eriksson and Sim De Jong also gained recognition from the head coach with their own strength and successfully became the starting players.
Double forwards No. 9 Elham Daoy and No. 7 Xiao Yu.
In addition to Romedal, Pantalic, Cavitanic and Kennedy Bakcioglu who have left, Soleimani and Suarez also did not return due to personal reasons.
This also forced Martin Jol to temporarily loan out three players from the youth team, 20-year-old Zehlal on the 24th, 21-year-old Podur on the 31st, and 19-year-old Bonnefasha on the 28th.
There are also veteran defensemen Oyer who transferred from PSV Eindhoven, and Blind, who returned from loan at Groningen.
This formed the current Ajax team.
As for Chelsea, what Ancelotti brought was basically their strongest lineup. Except for the departed midfielder German captain Ballack, everyone else was basically present.
