Many people watching this game were not surprised by the score in the first half. In terms of offense, England is indeed better than the Dutch team.

The 1:0 score is in line with common sense. The key is the second half. Whether England can expand the results or the Netherlands can quickly equalize the score will determine the final direction of the game.

When the World Cup reaches the semi-finals, it is already difficult to score a big score. Every goal is worth a thousand dollars, because everyone is facing a defense that is at the level of the NBA Finals.

In the BBC studio, Lineker and Wilson boasted about the performance of the England team in the first half, and then quickly passed the signal to various places in England, including shopping malls, office buildings, bars and large screens facing the street.

Not surprisingly, almost all the people in England were paying attention to the progress of the game. They drank countless beers during the halftime break, talked about the goals scored in the first half of the game, and talked about the final after 44 years.

Yes, they are already thinking about the final.

"Mark is too strong. I think whether we face Spain or Germany in the final, we have the hope of winning. No team can stop Mark's state now"

"Chee, for St Mark's, he reminds me of Gascoigne, just as talented, we need a midfielder like that now"

"It's so cool, it's been a long time watching England's game so much fun..."

Such words are filled in countless bars. The British like to drink tea in the afternoon, but they are no different from the Germans when they watch the game. They are all bundles of beer.

Crazy crowds, mess everywhere, loud howls, splashing wine, and a small screen, this constitutes an unforgettable summer in South Africa.

Happiness came knocking on the door, and even felt a little caught off guard.

The intermission time passed quickly, and many drinkers hadn't even finished a beer or talked about a topic. When they were about to talk, the second half of the game was about to start.

Ma Keqin and his teammates slowly came out of the passageway, shouts and shouts came from the stands, and they confronted the orange on the other side. After halftime, life and death were decided.

In the 15-minute locker room, there is no need for a detailed watch, because anyone can guess what the head coaches of the two teams will say. In the end, everything must be implemented on the court to see the outcome.

"Fans and friends, the second half is about to begin.

We are still 45 minutes away from entering the final," Lineker said with full expectation, "Let us witness this moment together"

The party looking forward to victory naturally expects the script to be completed smoothly, but the other party will definitely not agree, and they will do everything possible to change the existing track.

So Van der Vaart stood on the sidelines before blowing the whistle in the second half, and the fourth referee held up the substitution card, "Van der Vaart replaced Dezeuu, the Netherlands is going to die," Wilson said.

In the Dutch defensive system, a defensive midfielder is very important, because they are not playing control 433, but anti-reverse 433, just think about what Mourinho is good at.

"Although Van Bommel and Stead can play as defensive midfielders, they are both partial to organization. De Jong's absence has indeed had a great impact on the Dutch team. De Zeeu's presence in the first half is close to none. It seems that Van Bommel Marwijk is not a blindly conservative coach," Wilson immediately analyzed the Dutch team's intentions.

In the second half, they kicked off first, and it must be their plan to launch a rush to equalize the score as soon as possible.

Capello immediately yelled at the opposite half to pay attention to defense. In the second half, the two teams switched sides, and the two head coaches could no longer direct the team's tactics as close as they did in the first half.

"Pay attention to the distance, pay attention to the distance." The Dutch team launched an attack on the hinterland of England without any surprises at the beginning of the game. Mark Qin and his team guarded the midfield line in front of the 40-meter area, reminding each other to help defend.

The main role of van der Vaart's playing is to play No. 9 and a half. The man who became famous in Ajax and moved to Hamburg, like his Dutch compatriots, failed to gain a firm foothold in the Galaxy Battleship.

In fact, his role is somewhat similar to that of Robben. He is good at cutting in from the right and then shooting long shots with his left foot. However, his dribbling and speed are not at the same level as Robben, which is why he is in the Dutch national team. Will be a substitute, but how many people remember that he played as a striker at Ajax.

"Sneijder, hand the ball to the right," Duan Xuan explained the attack of the Netherlands, "These three people are now on the right of the Netherlands, Robben and van der Vaart have also pulled over, and Matheisen who is on the top, the three of them Both are left-footed"

"Hey, yes, it's quite interesting," Zhang Lu said with a smile, "The right has always been the main direction of the Netherlands' attack, and even Dirk Dirk often pulls in this direction. Van Marwijk seems to want to attack by force."

England's three lines of defense were well-organized at the beginning of the second half after midfielder Fabio Capello specifically explained, Rooney received the left midfielder, Mark Qin and Crouch formed the first line of defense.

The Netherlands passed up and down the right side several times, but did not find a chance to penetrate. In order not to lose the ball easily, they did not choose to pass easily.

Countless people are waiting for the changes that will occur in the second half. The Dutch team has taken the lead in making changes on the card, so their offense is more obvious.

Robben was pressed by Rooney to take the ball back. He wanted to divert to find Sneijder, but he found that Mark Qin was firmly stuck in the way he passed the ball to Sneijder. The big arc went to find Van Bommel in the middle circle, this one dragged the midfielder.

"Peter (Crouch), go up", Mark Qin shouted to organize the first line of defense while returning to his position, not to steal the ball, but to delay the speed of the Netherlands' lateral transfer.

From Van Bommel's point of view, he really felt that England's defensive organization was no better than theirs. There was only one Van Bronckhorst on the left, and it was a cross when he hit there. Seeing Sneijder being tight by Barry Immediately following, he fell on the back line, and then distributed to the right.

"The Dutch team has nothing to do, our defensive formation is quite good," Lineker said excitedly, "This Dutch team is still better at counterattacks, but Capello will not give them this opportunity in the second half."

Van der Vaart, Robben and Sneijder shot from a long distance, or if they made a cross to allow Van Persie and Dirk to grab a header, the Dutch team has no good way to take the shrinking England.

Capello kept looking at his watch, thinking about when to make a tactical change. In the second half, he arranged for England to defend and counterattack. Crouch was not replaced because he could hold the ball in the frontcourt and give the backcourt a chance to breathe. But he is ready to replace him with Upson at any time.

That's right, it's the 541 tactic, leaving only one Rooney in front. In this kind of game, any means can't be overstated. In his concept, 1:0 is completely enough.

More than 20 minutes into the second half, the Dutch attack did not pose too much threat to England's goal, and England's counterattack also failed to expand the results. The two teams seemed to have a tacit understanding and knew how the opponent played. Finally It is hard work to fight.

Capello waved his hand, but Upson quickly warmed up. After 70 minutes, the situation did not change much, and he became more confident and chose to stick to the end.

Van Marwijk became anxious when he saw it. The Netherlands has been unable to score for a long time. If England is replaced by a central defender, it will be even more difficult. He quickly waved to the players on the field to strengthen their offense.

"Upson went to warm up. It seems that Capello is really going to stick to the end." Duan Xuan said, "England took the initiative to withdraw in the second half. The scene was not as intense as the first half, but the Netherlands did not get any good opportunities. Capello Luo is still cunning and cunning, haha"

"Hey, this year in the Netherlands," Zhang Lu said with a smile, "the style of play is relatively simple, and those who can play small skills in dense areas are only one Robben, Van der Vaart counts as half, and Capello just pinches this one." Point, the periphery lets you fall as you please, anyway, you are not Spain"

"So how important is the first goal to England?" Duan Xuan blew Mark Qin in a disguised form, and then continued, "Look at this ball, the left side still can't get in, England is heavily guarded, return it to Van Bommel, Van Bommel Long ball, van Bronckhorst goes up"

"That's right, you can't attack wildly when you get a strong side, the efficiency is very low," Zhang Lu analyzed, "You also have to play a proper fight on the left."

As a result, a dozen will ruin the dish.

Van Persie has already reached the center of the penalty area. There is no one in front of Van Bronckhorst to respond. There is only one Sneijder coming from the middle. Johnson's back bounced toward the baseline.

"Blocked by Johnson, look at the ball, it didn't go out of the bottom line, Johnson", Johnson rushed to intercept the ball before the bottom line, and then looked at Van Bronckhorst who was rushing over, swung his big foot, uh, a post Pushing straight from the ground, Van Bronckhorst jumped up.

"Mark Qin, Johnson handed it over to Mark Qin in front, and Sneijder came up to see if there is a counterattack..., beautiful", Duan Xuan shouted.

With Sneijder behind his back, Ma Keqin directly made a right foot to catch the ball from the side, but his right foot slid past, and the ball still did not change direction and rolled forward. He moved his legs and was directly pierced through the crotch.

"Boom", whenever England counterattacked, there would be such a roar in the stands, "Mark, he passed, criminally extraordinary, counterattack, England's counterattack!", Lineker shouted frantically.

Sneijder pulled Mark Qin's shoulder vigorously, not wanting him to speed up, but the resistance transmitted was also strong. The referee was not far away, with his whistle in his mouth, ready to blow it at any time.

"Take him down, put him down", anxious shouts came from the sidelines, Ma Keqin did fall down, but he fell down by himself. When he was close to the ball, he directly made a long pass with a shovel, and the ball flew diagonally to the left.

The referee turned his head and took a look, only to see an England player frantically chasing the ball, and then he immediately gestured for the game to continue.

"Rooney, Rooney, he got a chance to counterattack on the wing", Crouch rushed into the penalty area with his long legs, Rooney went down crazily on the left, and Mark Qin also got up and rushed to attack.

The first moment he got the ball, Rooney directly took the ball and cut in. He was not good at crossing with his left foot, so he would not lead himself to a dead end. The Dutch defensive trio immediately shrank to the middle.

At this moment, Rooney, who attracted the attention of the central defender and Van Bommel, made a diagonal pass from the outside of his foot and pushed the ball to the right midfielder.

There's a white plugging in fast, it's Gerald!

"Gerrard, it's Gerrard, he waded the ball into the ribs of the penalty area", Lineker seemed to see the next goal coming, Heitinga desperately went to block, put a shovel, and flew shovel!

"Boom", Gerrard was calmer than ever at this time, took a step and passed directly to the kickback, and then passed the ball back to the place outside the penalty area where he had led the ball just now.

It was Mark Qin who came up there, and Sneijder still did not relax his guard against him. He followed him all the way. Mark Qin raised his right leg, as if he was about to shoot directly at the ball. Go out, and then I saw him easily tap the inside of his right foot, and slid the ball from behind to his left foot, and Sneijder just slipped past.

The England fans in the stands stood up abruptly, and the audience in mainland England clasped their hands together. At this moment, how many people remember his deadly left-footed incurve ball.

Although the angle is very large, and it is not far from the corner of the penalty area, but this unguarded moment is like letting him kick a free kick without a wall!

He looked up, but the movement did not stop, it was very coherent, and the instep of his left foot accurately rubbed and shot at the ball that circled behind his right foot.

The obedient "Celebration" rises high, and tens of thousands of eyes stare at his trajectory at the Green Point Stadium. At this moment, it seems to be stagnant, and at this moment, it is like eternity.

The screens of hundreds of TV stations were amazingly synchronized with the same picture, No. 18, dodged the defense, and shot the far corner with his left foot in an arc.

And he, like an art elf!

It seems to be relaxed, freehand, elegant, round and all in one!

The ball spun across the sky above the penalty area, without a whistling, just a spin, not a bursting impact. The goalkeeper at the near post, Stekelenberg, hurriedly moved to the far side, leaping across.

It carries a dream, the dream of the teenager to stand on the final stage.

It carries longing, longing that British fans have been unable to express for 44 years.

It brings brilliance, shock, bewilderment, pain, and the final sliver.

Stekelenberg's eyes were on the ball, his heart was ashamed, his fingertips slid across his fingertips like a joke of fate, and then the sound was not too loud, and it hit the inside of the column under the beam with a "bang" , rebound into the net.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, one foot determines the universe!

Like a resounding heavy hammer, Chen Bing, who had been sealed for many years, was smashed!

The world that had been silent for a moment erupted like a volcano and went straight to the sky. Mark Qin turned and flew, sliding and kneeling wildly in the corner flag area.

"Roar", "Boom", "Ah", Cape Town, birds flock and beasts scatter!

The white in the stands surged crazily like sea waves, towards the focus of attention, the teammates on the field and the bench rushed towards him like crazy, Capello leaped high, Van Marwijk closed his eyes and went dark sigh.

The wind blows across the sky, taking away a piece of dark cloud, leaving behind a bright moon and clear sky...
