Green Life

Volume 4 Chapter 56

"Oh Shit", Lineker, Wilson, and Neville in the studio covered their faces in astonishment, penalty, and damn penalty missed!

For how many years, they have not won once, and now they don't even score a penalty in regular time. This is not a curse, what is a curse?

In 1990, Italy lost to Germany in a penalty shootout in the semi-finals of the World Cup.

In 1996, England's native European Cup still lost to Germany on penalties in the semi-finals.

In 1998, in the World Cup in France, they lost to Argentina on penalties in the 1/8 finals.

In 2004, Portugal lost to Portugal on penalties in the quarter-finals of the European Cup.

In 2006, the World Cup in Germany still lost to Portugal on penalties in the quarter-finals.

Another 20 years, they have never won a penalty kick in a major competition, as if they were cursed, and now England players are afraid when they hear about penalty kicks.

Before the game, they also specially practiced penalty kicks, which was like a lingering shadow. Without one more failure, the hint in their hearts increased by one point until it was unbreakable.

Lampard looked up to the sky and sighed, the penalty was fine, there was strength and angle, why was he thrown out, why is this, many England fans are asking the same question, but no one can answer.

His pre-match superstition of urinating in the same urinal as John Terry and Ashley Cole didn't help him this time either, perhaps because it wasn't Stamford Bridge.

"Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity," Duan Xuan said regretfully, "If Lampard can score this penalty, the situation in England will be completely different."

"Hey, this," Zhang Lu said with a smile, "I don't know if it will increase the psychological burden of the English players. Penalties are their biggest problem, so don't lose your mentality."

Capello realized this problem instantly. When the Netherlands was celebrating wildly, he pressed his hands down on the sidelines and shouted at the team, "Steady, steady, it's okay, play as usual!"

The fans in the Netherlands seemed to have won the championship. The noise they made was several times louder in an instant.

"Eon, I forgot the penalty kick, let's continue." After being depressed for a while, Ma Keqin immediately slapped his hands and loudly encouraged his teammates near the penalty area. There was no time for regret and remorse, he was going to take a corner kick.

He ran towards the corner,

While turning around and holding the "3" gesture with his teammates, this is the secret signal of corner kick tactics, which means that only two or three people are left in the penalty area to grab points, and the rest return to prevent the Netherlands from counterattacking.

They have prepared several sets of corner kick tactics. Which one to use on the field is up to Mark Qin to decide according to the situation on the field. Now that the morale of the Netherlands is high, he should be more conservative.

"Let's take a look at this corner kick. Forget the penalty kick just now. The game is only now officially started," Lineker said with a sigh of relief, but he still seemed a little disappointed. It may be a counterattack against the Netherlands."

Mark Qin looked at the three or two kittens in the restricted area. Crouch and Terry mainly focused on the small restricted area.

He decided to cooperate and try to improve morale, otherwise the team might not forget the penalty kick for a while, so he made another gesture.

Seeing Rooney's running position, he kicked the ball on the ball, but it was a little light, not towards the small penalty area, but fell to the ribs after passing the penalty area. If you want to say something earlier, the speed is too slow.

Mattison, who defended the tactical corner kick, looked back and saw Rooney running out from the front point. It was obviously a trained tactical cooperation. He didn't care so much. He hurried to double-team to prevent Rooney from stopping the ball in the penalty area.

But Rooney, who was following Van Bommel behind him, didn't intend to stop the ball. He made a forehead return and headed the ball back to Mark Qin who was not offside when he came back from the corner flag.

"Mark, eh?, this is... a tactical corner kick, and Rooney returned the ball to him, and he gained space for kicking on the wing." Matheson and Robben, who retracted his ribs, immediately turned around and used the fastest speed Press over.

But what Ma Keqin was waiting for was this opportunity. He stopped and moved the instep of his right foot without adjusting at all. Taking advantage of the space, he swung his right foot directly outside the penalty area and shot with a curve ball.

Shooting in this crossing area outside the penalty area, many superstars have scored goals, such as Figo, Mark's foot is on the right side of the penalty area, and he turned and walked back and directly spun the goal with his right foot.

"Mark, cross..., no, shoot...", Lineker, who saw the wrong path of the ball, reacted and shouted at the top of his voice.

The ball circled a rapid arc, like a free kick, and went straight to the near corner of the goal. The Dutch goalkeeper Stekelenberg was shocked. He was originally defending the pass in the center of the goal. Move and leap to save.

"Oh..." There was a huge exclamation from the stands. It seemed that the ball was only less than 10 centimeters above the crossbar.

"Quite a threatening sudden shot!, from the cooperation of Mark and Rooney, a good shot, that's it, it's okay, eon", Lineker seemed to cheer for himself and the fans.

The head coach of the Dutch team, Van Marwijk, was quite dissatisfied with the ball. He loudly reprimanded the players in Dutch on the sidelines. Giving Mark Qin such space is a crime. He emphasized more than once before the game.

This shot somewhat dispelled some of England's loss of penalty kicks at the beginning of the game, and it also made the Dutch players feel the offensive threat that England can create.

"A good goal," Zhang Lu praised, "England made two very threatening attacks at the beginning. Although they missed a penalty kick, the whole team is in good condition. Now as long as they maintain a good mentality, they can still attack. Advantageous"

Both teams experienced a rollercoaster ups and downs at the beginning. After Stekelenberg took the goal kick, they all forgot about the offensive round just now and rejoined the game.

The Dutch team's tactics are defensive counterattacks, but the players' foot skills are generally better than those of England. After all, they are the originator of the all-in-one defense style and the cradle of European youth training talents before the Bosman Act.

So their main style of play is still on the ground. It can be seen from the fact that they gave the goal kick to the defender instead of kicking their feet. Right back Mattison received the ball and pushed forward without encountering any obstacles.

England quickly placed the defensive line behind the center line. This is the second strategy Capello arranged to reduce the space for the Netherlands to start up in the backcourt. If there is no space, the maximum power of their two wings, Robben van Persie, will be limited.

Mattison played for Hamburg, and he is also a versatile defender, and he is the backbone of the Dutch team's defense this year. He plays right back, but his preferred foot is indeed left.

As soon as he approached the center line, Rooney immediately pushed forward. Matheson didn't continue to move forward, seeing an opportunity and directly handing it over to Robben in front.

Their defense is stable in the backcourt. The 4 defenders and 2 midfielders will never lose their position easily. They give the opponent a chance to counterattack, and they only support the offense. The main penetration is done by the front 4 people, because their front 4 Individual mobility is strong.

"Roben, he dribbles the ball horizontally with his back, and his speed is very fast," Duan Xuan explained. Peter Pan has finally greatly reduced his glass-legged attributes after arriving at Bayern, and he has also begun to show his demeanor as a right winger second only to Messi .

Cole has no choice but to follow him at a pace like a hot wheel. Dirk Dirk's position is quite flexible. Robben cuts inside. He is pulled to the right just like Liverpool. Last season he was on the right wing. He scored more than a dozen goals in his position and is no stranger to this place.

"Roben, this is a beautiful ball. A covert dunk pass was passed to the sidewalk. This is Mark Qin's old teammate." Barry quickly made up for the gap left behind Cole. Withstood Dirk.

Both teams have done careful research on each other, and have corresponding strategies for defending and responding to each point. Dirk Didier didn't bother. Seeing that Barry was pressing hard, he dribbled the ball back and handed it directly to Ned.

"Mark Qin, he and Sneijder are facing each other, a direct dialogue between the two top midfielders in the world today." Before he finished speaking, he did not expect that Sneijder didn't want to talk at all, and he just kicked a long pass. Go straight to the left.

Just now, the Dutch team's attack on the right and the sidelines of Dirk Dirk naturally pulled the focus of England's defense. Barry went to make up for it, and Gerrard on the right naturally took advantage of the situation to make up for the center.

This is a natural movement of the defensive system, and it is inevitable for any team. The person who designed the width of the court at the beginning was a genius. This kind of length and width means that no matter how you defend, it is impossible to statically defend all the gaps. Football is getting more and more interesting in the game of wits in this sport.

"Van Bronckhorst, he came up and caught the ball. There was a brief vacuum on the right side of England, and Gerrard was rushing over." But Van Bronckhorst didn't think it was too complicated at all. This year the Netherlands is like changing its soul, absolutely not showing off its skills.

Before he crossed the area at a 45-degree angle, he swung his left foot directly, and a spinning arc shot went straight to the point in front of the penalty area. Just now, Kuytra went to the wing, and General Fan on the left naturally pushed forward. superior.

At this time, Fantasy, oh no, Van Persie has not yet escaped the shackles of injuries, but the seedlings of the top center have begun to show. In November of this season, he scored 6 goals in 6 consecutive games and quickly made the Emirates Stadium Forget about Adebayo.

It's a pity that I was knocked down by injuries just after I took the lead, and I didn't pay until more than 3 months later, which finally caught up with this World Cup in South Africa.

After pulling him to the center position, he quickly got rid of the forward charge. Although Carragher tried his best to fight for the top, this kind of one-on-one sense still allowed the soon-to-be-upgraded General Fan to grab a point. A header!

Joe Hart just subconsciously jumped a little, ready to make a save. In fact, the speed of the ball has exceeded his prediction. He can only watch the ball quickly hit the billboard from the outside of the post. If it hits the goal Inside, he probably couldn't make a firefighting response, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Van Persie, the header is beautiful, oh, it's wide, it's so dangerous," Duan Xuan said in amazement, "The Dutch attack is very direct, but it actually creates a threat."

"This is the characteristic of this Dutch team," Zhang Lu said, "I don't play complicated things with you at all. When I see an opportunity in the frontcourt, I shoot without hesitation. It depends on the individual scoring ability of these four people to solve the problem." fighting"

"Well, yes," Duan Xuan also echoed, "In the 5 games, the Netherlands won by 2 goals in the game against Japan, and the other games were all small victories by 1 goal, which is very pragmatic."

This time, it was Capello who jumped and scolded people on the sidelines. He also emphasized the rotation of the Dutch front three before the game countless times, but the result was still thoroughly beaten, and the two central defenders did not grab it in advance. point.

But this is the star. If they have no chance of being blocked because of the specially arranged tactics before the game, they will not be able to become stars in such a fiercely competitive European league. Sometimes they have a flash of inspiration. No matter how much preparation you make before the game, you can't prevent it.

In the first ten minutes or so, the two teams each completed a very threatening attack. Except for England's accidental loss of a penalty, the scene can be said to be evenly matched.

England's goal kick, and Dirk, who flew to Mark Qin, smiled heartily at him, "Mark, I will follow you today."

Mark Qin: ...
