Chapter 940 The Semi-Finals Begin, and the Mourning Soldiers Go Into Battle!
"Welcome to July 7th. For Dutch football, this is another day full of expectations. Our warriors have once again reached the gate of the finals. They are only one step away from reaching the finals, defeating China, and going to the finals. Complete the unfinished tasks of our forefathers.”
"If you still have any work to do this afternoon, please finish it in advance and don't miss the joy of our advancement."
"In 10 hours, the Netherlands will be in the final."
Early on, Dutch radio stations began broadcasting to build momentum.
"At this time, Fan Shuai has led the Dutch team for training. His team has arrived in Cape Town and the team is fully ready."
"Forty thousand Dutch fans have also arrived with the team, and they want to witness this historic moment together."
"The current problem for the Dutch team is injuries and suspensions. Forward Robin van Persie and main center back Matthiessen are both injured, and it is not yet known whether they can play. In addition, midfielder De Jong and right back Van der Wiel are suspended due to two yellow cards. He will also be unable to play in the game. However, it is precisely because of Matteisson's injury that Oyer played on top when playing against Brazil. The central defender combination with Heitinga is very stable; together with goalkeeper Stekelenberg, they formed a The defense is quite solid. In the midfield and frontcourt, Sneijder and Robben's performance has become increasingly stable."
"Although the strength is weak and the personnel is incomplete, the Chinese team obviously will not give up. They are missing the main center back Feng, the captain and midfield core Zheng, and the main right back Sun... I can imagine how Robben was in the audience. Galloping..."

Very few people in China listen to the radio. Because it is evening, it does not prevent Chinese fans from sitting in front of the TV to watch the game.
Starting from six o'clock in the evening, after the fans had eaten and drank enough, they began to listen to various football guests analyzing the game, predicting the game, and discussing the game. Their ears were numb, and they drank almost all the wine. They were dizzy. Huhu.
Wait and wait...
Finally I saw Krauchen and Dong Fangzhuo attending the pre-match press conference.
Both of them smiled happily at the press conference and did not feel the pressure of the semi-finals. After all, Chinese football has been making history, and every step they can take is a victory.
"Everyone definitely wants to enter the finals, haha. I also think we will do our best in the competition."
Whether you can enter the finals is no longer a hard-and-fast result. Playing well in the semi-finals is the key.
"Without Feng Xiaoting and Zheng Zhi. To be honest, it's really dangerous."
"There is nothing in the frontcourt. Dewey is always unreliable, but what can be done? He is already the best defender currently, what can be done?"
"No one can replace me yet, how sad..."
"In this game, we can only rely on Dong Fangzhuo."
Dong Fangzhuo sat in front of the stage and answered a few questions casually, and the results were all about his transfer.
But he didn't answer seriously, he just answered perfunctorily.
Next, Krauchen announced the starting lineup for the game.
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng
Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Dewey, Li Weifeng, Zhu Ting
Midfielder: Hao Junmin, Zhao Xuri, Huang Bowen
Forward: Feng Renliang, Dong Fangzhuo, Mao Jianqing
"433!"
"Do you want to play against the Dutch team? But I feel that the Dutch team is playing very conservatively and will not attack the Chinese team." CCAV5 host Zhang Bin on the TV was surprised, "I thought Krauchen would play a 451 The formation only puts Dong Fangzhuo or Gao Lin on the forward line and focuses on defense. Is this lineup too dangerous? It still cannot be relied upon."
"In this cup, the Dutch team scored a maximum of 2 goals, and most of the games scored 1 goal. This Dutch team plays pragmatic football."
"Perhaps Krauchen has the same idea? It's just a bluff." Guest Shen Xiangfu said thoughtfully, "At this stage of the game, it is impossible for any team to attack with all its strength, and defense becomes crucial. Important, one mistake may lead to losing the game,
If Krauchen does not arrange Feng Renliang and Mao Jianqing next to Dong Fangzhuo, it will be difficult for the Chinese team to counterattack. I believe Krauchen has already considered everything. "
"I hope so..."

A press conference was also held in the Netherlands. Van Marwijk had a short haircut today. Although his head was already covered with white hair, he looked particularly energetic today. Next to him, Sneijder was sitting quietly, quite impressive. General style.
There were previous media reports that members of the Dutch national team collectively cut their hair and shaved off their ambitions. I didn’t expect that even the coach would do this.
The two simply answered some questions and then announced the starting lineup:
Goalkeeper: Stekelenberg
Defenders: Boraluz, Heitinga, Matthiessen, Bronckhorst
Midfielder: Van Bommel, Dezeuu
Midfielder: Robben, Sneijder, Kuyt
Forward: Robin van Persie
"Thankfully De Jong was suspended, otherwise De Jong would have been a huge threat to Dong Fangzhuo on the court. That guy played too fiercely. Maybe he would do anything to win."
"A player like Dezeu still lacks some experience, and Van Bommel is older. If the Chinese team can increase their speed, they still have a good chance."
"Our biggest problem is how to defend. Van Persie's ability in the forward position is too strong. With a top passer like Sneijder, the Chinese team's defense must not be distracted for a second. What's even more terrifying is that Ronaldo Ben's breakthrough on the right is very sharp, he can easily cut inside and hit the goal, but Kuyt's side is not much of a threat."
"What's terrible is that Zhang Linpeng and Dewey are the two major weaknesses of the Chinese team..."
Zhang Bin analyzed a lot, but wouldn’t China eventually have to play against the Netherlands with such a lineup?
An hour later, the live broadcast finally switched to the game scene.
Huang Jianxiang, Duan Xuan and Zhang Lu had already started live broadcasting the game in the stadium.
"Fans from both sides have filled up the stadium. It seems that both sides have half fans. Because the Netherlands played in traditional orange uniforms, the Chinese team's uniforms were changed to white, but the Chinese fans still wore red jerseys to cheer. , which seems a bit weird.”
"I wonder if this is because the Football Association is not doing its job well?"
"Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi, and Feng Xiaoting are all sitting in the stands. They can only cheer for the Chinese team as fans today. These three people are the absolute main force of the Chinese team. Without them, it feels like the Chinese team is real. They are injured. I hope the players who replace them can perform to their due level. Although they are lacking in ability, at least they cannot be bad..."
The live shots captured the faces of Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting one by one. These shots naturally brought a sigh of relief to Chinese fans. Everyone misses them very much. Only when they are around will their hearts feel more at ease.

In the players' tunnel, Dong Fangzhuo, wearing the captain's armband, first gave Van Bommel a high-five. The relationship between the two is actually very ordinary. They already had a grudge in Barcelona and had a bit of a feud in Bayern Munich. But as captain, this is the minimum. polite.
Robben and Dong Fangzhuo don't have much of a relationship. They played against each other in the Premier League. In the end, Sneijder came over and hugged Dong Fangzhuo for a long time.
"Man, today is definitely a difficult game for you, and of course, it will be a very sad game."
"Don't worry, after the game is over, I will run over and hug you as soon as possible. Don't fall down!"
Sneijder patted him gently on the shoulder. Although it may sound a bit excessive, it was out of his sincere feelings, and he quickly added.
"Of course, if I fail, you have to run over and hug me as soon as possible."
"Okay, it's settled."
Dong Fangzhuo is also very calm. In competitive football, you either lose or win. Although everyone wants to win, there is only one winner.
boom,
boom,
boom,
The sounds in the stadium flooded into the players' tunnel from time to time, making people's blood boil inexplicably and their hearts beating faster.
"See you on the court."
"See you on the court."
Dong Fangzhuo walked to the front and took the caddy’s hand.
Everything is ready...
※※※※
"Okay, the players from both sides have officially appeared!"
"Dear viewers and fans, my name is Huang Jianxiang. What I am broadcasting for you now is the first match of the 2010 South Africa World Cup semi-finals between China and the Netherlands..."
"In the stands, tulips are blooming and red is surging. Fans on both sides are cheering for their heroes. No matter whether they win or lose in today's game, there are no real losers, because they tried their best and gave everything they had for their respective countries."
The national anthems of the Netherlands and China were played on the court one after another, and the first climax came in the stands.
"The Netherlands maintained complete victory in the previous 5 games, and even reversed and eliminated 5-star Brazil 2:1 in the quarter-finals, and their morale was high. The Chinese team achieved 4 wins and 1 draw in 5 games, 1/ In the 4th final, they reversed Ghana 3:1 with one less player. In the history of the World Cup, the two sides have never met..."
"In this campaign, Krauchen changed his formation and returned to the 433 formation. Feng Xiaoting was suspended. Dewey partnered with Li Weifeng as the central defender. Zhang Linpeng and Zhu Ting were assigned to the left and right sides. In the midfield, Hao Junmin regained the starting position after the first game of the group stage. , but he returned to the midfield, and Zhao Xuri and Huang Bowen continued to play together. On the forward line, Dong Fangzhuo was flanked by Feng Renliang and Mao Jianqing. For the Netherlands, Dezeuu and Bollaruz replaced the suspended De Jong and Van der Wiel respectively. , Van Persie continues to lead the front line, Matteisen returns and Heitinga guards the defense."
"Before the game, I was basically optimistic that the Dutch team would win. After all, the Chinese team is short of manpower, and the Dutch team is unprecedentedly strong."
"Dong Fangzhuo and Van Bommel took sides, and the Chinese team got the right to kick off."
"Okay, the game starts right now!"
Beep——
Dong Fangzhuo handed the ball to Feng Renliang, and Feng Renliang quickly passed the ball back to Huang Bowen...
