Chapter 959: The Second Coming of Santordo (3)
PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
The fifteen-minute halftime break soon passed without realizing it. The players from both sides who had a short rest returned to the court and prepared to face the second half.
Compared with the first half, the Dutch team did not change their tactics in the second half, and still maintained great offensive intensity. Koku and Borgkamp continued to instigate offensives in the middle, with four players on the wing breaking through or crossing to the teammates who responded or cut in to form shots. In short, it was to use a tide-like offensive to drill through the Italian's turtle shell bit by bit!
All those who have played football know that in football games, the pressure on the defensive side will always face much greater than that of the offensive side. After all, you can wait for the next opportunity if you fail to enter a shot, but if you make a defensive mistake, it will often lead to the birth of a lost goal.
Even if Italy has the most powerful defense line in the world, facing the Dutch's seemingly endless attack, Nestas' spirits cannot always be concentrated, and there will definitely be a time of slackness. Therefore, for Dutch players, as long as they can seize one or two of these opportunities, it will be no problem to break Italy's goal and win the game.
Although the Dutch's abacus was twitching, judging from the performance of Italian players in the first ten minutes of the second half, Nestas were still very focused. The Netherlands' offense was either blocked out of the penalty area by them neatly or destroyed directly with a more straightforward foul. In short, if the ball was sent into Italy's penalty area, the Dutch had not yet found the correct way to achieve this goal.
In desperation, Orvemas and others had to frequently fire outside the penalty area and try to break through the opponent's defense line through long shots. However, under the pressure of Italy's extremely tight defensive system, the effect of this long shot was obviously not ideal.
Even if Nesta and his friends occasionally slack or neglect in defense, they did not stop Cenden and Ovemas from shooting, Tordo, who was incredibly in good condition, could block all these shots from outside the goal, and even the chance to make a follow-up shot was not left to their opponents.
It has to be said that the Italian national team did a better job in this life than the Apennines coached by Zov in the previous life. In this regard, it can be seen from the fact that the main right-back Zanbrotta was not the same as in history. He was sent off by Merck's red card in the first half because of two fouls, which caused Italy to face the unfavorable situation of one less player in the next game.
The reason why Italy has this change mainly comes from two aspects. One is the tactical changes brought to Italian football by the rise of Fiorentina. Following the chain defense theory proposed by Herrera and the regional defense theory introduced by Saki, Zi Lily, which absorbed the characteristics of the first two, went further, emphasized the importance of running in defense, and formed a numerical advantage in a small range to improve the success rate of defense. Instead, as before, other people only focused on blocking the opponent's passing route and not snatching around; the second point is that the main players of national teams such as Zambrota, Nesta, and Tordo are much more mature than in the same period of history. After following Fiorentina for many years, they have accumulated extremely rich game experience, which is something they did not have in their previous lives.
These players in the Netherlands are not vegetarians. Faced with Italy's strong and strict defensive system, they were aroused by the arrogance in their hearts and also gave their all their strength to fully utilize their football talents, and persistently wanted to use their offense to get a ticket to participate in the European Cup final!
So, in the second half, this competition between spear and shield continued to be released in front of fans!
In the 49th minute, Borgkamp used an imaginative long-distance pass to Cruyvit who was in the forward. Nesta and Cannavaro sandwiched the Dutch center in the middle one after another, forcing him to fail to receive the pass from the Ice Prince. In the end, taking advantage of Nesta's chance to jail Cruyvit, Cannavaro took the lead and cleared the ball out of the penalty area!
Cenden, who got the ball outside the penalty area, passed the ball into the penalty area again without hesitation. This time the person who cleared the ball became Nesta. Cruivit, who was blocked by Cannavaro, still failed to receive the pass from his teammates.
Three minutes later, the Dutch made a comeback. Boswell, who assisted the forward right-back, passed the ball to Cruivet in the penalty area without waiting for the Italian player to double-team. The latter still failed to receive the pass under the interference of Nesta, and the ball was cleared by Nesta and was cleared out of the penalty area.
It was still Cen Deng, who still received the ball outside the penalty area on the left. However, this time the Dutch winger did not choose to pass the ball to his center, but instead shot directly at the front of the penalty area! Albertini, who had already retreated to the penalty area, tried to play a striking scene of flying over, but unfortunately he was slowing down but failed to touch the fast ball.
Fortunately, Albertini's failure did not seem to have any impact on Toldo's judgment. The latter opened his hands and steadily put the ball in his arms!
"Damn! Albertini is cheating people! Fortunately, Toldo is determined enough and has not caused any trouble." When he saw the Milan team's deputy flying to block the block, Zhuang Mingge was shocked. Cenden's shooting angle was very straight, and he would not cause any trouble to Toldo who had already stood in a good position, but if Albertini touched him halfway, the consequences would be unpredictable.
After all, no matter how good Thordo is in good condition, he is not as good as Superman. If the ball changes direction in the middle, he will definitely not have time to react if he has made a save move.
In the following time, the Dutch team still had an absolute advantage in ball possession time and shots, but Italy is not Yiyou. Tordo, Nesta and others resolved the offensive of the Orange Army. At the same time, the occasional quick counterattack also shocked Dutch fans.
However, when the game reached the 61st minute, the turmoil on the court was revived: using the space left by Cannavaro after robbing, Cenden made a pass and handed the ball to Davis who was quietly inserted. The latter stopped the ball in his chest and turned to the penalty area. Matrazi, who was defending the game, quickly sent a tackle when he saw that the situation was not good, but he did not expect that the Dutch Wild Boar would be knocked down on the penalty area line with the ball!
Seeing that Davis successfully destroyed this breakthrough, Matrazi breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to form a wall with his teammates to resist the next free kick in the frontcourt of the Netherlands - he thought his foul was outside the penalty area - but when he looked around, he found that most of his teammates were talking about something around the referee, and his expression was very wrong.
In confusion, Matrazi quickly looked closely and found that one of the referee Merck's hand was pointing at his twelve yard points!
Chapter completed!
