Nine Hundred and Eighty-Two the only Choice
982 The only choice
"The current situation is very unfavorable for the Dutch team..."
On the commentary stand, the Dutch commentator said with a bit of frustration.
The first half is over, and the double-reverse players have returned to the locker room.
At this time, in the stands, the fans of the Dutch team were a little quiet, while the English people were singing and cheering there!
The Netherlands leads the Netherlands 3-2 at half time!
The English saw hope of reaching the World Cup semi-finals and they certainly had reason to celebrate.
The dressing room of the Dutch team!
"Attack! From the second half, strengthen the attack! We want to occupy the midfield and form a certain pressure on England!!"
"Try to tie the game as soon as possible!! Score as much as possible!! At the same time, no more goals!"
Van Gaal said with a serious expression.
And now, in the locker room on the other side.
"Guys, you did a great first half!!"
Gao Bo was in high spirits, with a smile on his face.
He was not only happy that the team scored again at the last minute of the first half, but also because it greatly affected the morale of the Dutch!
"In the second half, the battle will still be concentrated in the midfield! We have to build a close-fitting containment in the midfield! Don't let them take the ball easily, don't let them pass the ball easily!! Especially! Don't let them connect with the strikers!!! "
"Make trouble for their midfield as much as possible!! Delay their attack as much as possible!"
"The second half! It will be a midfield blocking battle!!!"
Gao Bo said.
"Wayne, I need a midfielder in the second half to fight back!"
Gao Bo looked at Rooney and said.
Rooney nodded.
He knows this.
In the lead situation, Gao Bo will replace him.
Then put Barkley in midfield!
Barkley hasn't played much in the first few games.
But Gao Bo brought him to the World Cup, not to let him sit on the bench all the time!
The next game is very intensive.
Everyone has to come in handy.
Barkley is a typical England midfielder.
Physically strong, confrontational and defensive.
That's why Gao Bo replaced him.
In this way, the four midfielders are Henderson, Gerrard, Barkley and Milner.
Sterling was then pushed into the shadow striker position by him.
The purpose is also obvious.
Is to the big Holland team's counterattack.
In the second half, the Dutch team is sure to attack.
And onslaught!
To be honest, with England's lineup, it's really hard to say who will die if they play against the Netherlands for 90 minutes.
Gao Bo does not want such uncertain things.
He needs to be steady!
Steady win this game! !
"Forty-five minutes left in the game!! Win this game and enter the semi-finals!! Every minute we spend in Brazil now is for the final battle!! Now, we have entered the final sprint!! !"
....
Before the second half of the game started, the director aimed the camera at the stands, looking for something to watch.
In the VIP box, many familiar faces were spotted by the camera.
The first is the family of England's David Beckham.
Wearing an England shirt, Beckham stood at the very edge of the box, cheering with fans in the stands.
The Dutch team also has famous players sitting in the stands.
Gullit, one of the three Dutch Musketeers in Milan that year, was also in the stands.
It's just that his expression is not as relaxed as Beckham's.
Gullit, who has already grown fat after retirement for many years, has a serious expression on his face at this moment.
If he were a dozen or 20 years younger, he wouldn't allow the Dutch midfielder to put on the national team's jersey and play...
....
Under the different moods of both parties.
The second half of the game started.
At this point, the England team completed a steal! !
Gerrard makes an oblique long pass near the middle circle!
Sterling stopped the ball forward with his chest, and started to speed with his butt up!
"pretty!!"
The commentators applauded Sterling's performance this time around.
He just used his speed to get rid of Kuyt and went directly to the defense line of the Dutch team's three-center defense system! !
Sterling takes the ball and observes in the middle!
Barkley, who came on as a substitute, inserted into the penalty area, and Vardy was already in place!
DeVry comes to defend Sterling!
Sterling paused for a moment, dunked the ball with his right foot, swayed the angle and made a direct pass!
fast!
direct!
This is a requirement for counterattack operations.
Although there are only two points in the penalty area.
But...the Netherlands didn't have a lot of numbers in the line.
In the second half of the game, the Dutch team pressed on the whole line, leaving a lot of space in the backcourt.
"Valdi!!"
There was a sudden commotion in the stands!
I saw that at the back point, Vardy had already jumped high and smashed the ball to the goal with his header! !
"Sileson!!!"
The commentator of the Netherlands team broke! !
"Beautiful save!! Almost subconsciously raised his arm and blocked the opponent's header!!"
"Oh..."
In the stands, whether it was an Englishman or a Dutchman, the expressions were similar.
The Dutch are surviving the catastrophe and have lingering fears.
The English people are extremely regretful and put their heads in their hands.
"pretty!"
Gao Bo was ready to celebrate, but after seeing the performance of the opponent's goalkeeper, he had to shake his head.
But he still applauded the players and encouraged them to play.
The first counterattack in the second half created such a threat!
This obviously also brought trouble to the Dutch team's offense.
When they are pressed, they must bear the risk of being counterattacked by the England team at any time!
...
Van Gaal's expression was serious.
He has to admit it now.
Gao Bo really deserves all the accolades the media has given him.
In the second half of the game, he thought that Gao Bo's adjustment would wait for more than 60 minutes.
Fifteen minutes from forty-five minutes to sixty minutes will be an opportunity for the Dutch team.
Unexpectedly, Gao Bo surprised him again.
Substitution at the beginning of the second half.
And directly won the speed is not as good as Rooney back then, replaced the midfielder Barkley, and directly strengthened the number of midfielders.
Sterling and Vardy were left in the frontcourt, two fast forwards to attack the Dutch team's defense!
Very decisive!
Decisive to Van Gaal a little flustered.
This game...really hard to play!
Opponents lead by a goal...
Van Gaal's face darkened.
Van Gaal wanted to curse at the thought of the first half, when the opponent was unexpected, won by surprise, and scored this goal to find the score again.
Without the ball, and just a draw, he would have a lot more room to adjust.
The opponent did not dare to put on a defensive counterattack posture.
After all, if the Dutch team is patient with the ball to organize an attack and score a goal in forty-five minutes, there is still a high probability.
Even England defended across the board.
But now, the Dutch team does not have the patience to organize the attack, and it is impossible for the Dutch players to maintain a very peaceful mind to control the ball when they are one goal behind.
attack!
is the only option.
