Chapter 611 Chapter 607: The background of the strong team!

Judging from the number of goals scored and goals conceded in this World Cup, Spain is undoubtedly the team with the best defense, while the Netherlands is the team with the best offense.

The Spanish team can be described as the strongest "shield" in today's world football, while the Dutch team is the sharpest "spear" in today's world football.

This is a peak duel of spear and shield.

However, judging from the situation in the first half, the situation was the opposite, Spain dominated the attack, while the Netherlands dominated the defense.

This is related to the game strategy of the finals of the two sides. Spain used its pass and control style of play to the extreme. Facing the strong attack power of the Matador, the Dutch team adopted a tactic of defending and counterattacking.

Chen Fan retreated from the forward position to the midfielder, further consolidating the Dutch defense line, giving people a feeling of "impregnable".

In the last few minutes of the first half, the Dutch team was united and did not give Spain an excellent chance to shoot. They kept the score of [-]-[-] until the end of the first half.

After the end of the first half, the players of both sides returned to the locker room, the turf of the football city stadium suddenly became empty, and the stands also entered a state of rest.

From afar, the stadium looks like a dormant behemoth.

Fans in front of TVs all over the world felt very happy, they saw a wonderful goal.

In the last few World Cup finals, both sides played very carefully in the first half and failed to break through the opponent's goal. The goals all happened in the second half.

Some fans were also dissatisfied: "Time is too fast, I haven't seen Robben and Chen flying like lightning, the first half of the game is over."

"Damn Van Marwijk, why did Chen Gai kick him in the back? This is a crime!"

"Using one of the best strikers in the world as a defensive midfielder, tell me, what the hell is Van Marwijk doing?"

The Spanish dressing room did not become depressed because the score was behind. This is the first time in their history to participate in the World Cup finals. Regardless of whether they can win or not, they are already national heroes.

What's more, they took the initiative on the field and almost kept pressing in the Dutch half.

The old coach Bosque scanned the players, and Puyol understood that the coach was about to speak, so he signaled his teammates to be quiet.

The locker room fell silent.

"Everyone performed very well in the first half. It was luck not to break through the opponent's goal. Of course, it was also related to the strength of the opponent's defense."

Bosque smiled and said: "Boys, in my mind you are the best, the best and greatest players in the world today!"

Harvey let out a long breath, his eyes became more determined, and Iniesta clenched his fists...

"While we are speeding up, we must maintain a calm and calm attitude. We must always believe in our teammates and believe that we will definitely score goals!"

Bosque then made a specific and detailed arrangement of the tactics, requiring the defender to nip the danger in the bud when the Netherlands made a quick counterattack.

In the Dutch locker room on the other side, the atmosphere was both exciting and a little tense.

This is the third time in the history of the Netherlands that they have entered the World Cup finals. They regrettably lost the first two times, so they have the title of "Uncrowned King".

For the Dutch team, the Hercules Cup is like a curse, yesterday's "change hotel" incident is a sign.

Breaking the curse is what every Dutch player wants to do. They want to break the shackles of fate and realize the dream of Dutch footballers in the World Cup.

The current score is one to zero, and they are leading, which means that victory is waving to them not far away, which means that they can finally break the spell and get rid of the extremely embarrassing title of "Uncrowned King".

It gets them excited.

But there are still 45 minutes in the second half, and no one can predict what will happen in these 45 minutes.

So they get nervous.

Since returning to the locker room, Robben has been talking to Chen Fan, and some words have been said several times.

"Alger, I didn't expect you to be such a talkative person."

Chen Fan finally found a chance to speak.

Robben looked slightly stunned, and blushed slightly: "I don't know why I talk so much today."

"Nervous, um, it must be nervous!"

Sneijder, who was sitting on the side, said with certainty, which annoyed Robben: "What? Nervous? Who are you saying nervous?"

Chen Fan said with a smile: "Actually, I was nervous all the time in the first half. I was nervous at the beginning of the game, and I was nervous when I took the free kick. I thought it would be better after the goal, but I was still nervous."

Robben, who was going to have a good talk with Sneijder, gave up his previous thoughts when he heard this.

Yes, this is the World Cup final, even if you are nervous, that is normal and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

How many people have never had the opportunity to set foot on the World Cup finals throughout their lives?

……

At this moment, the door of the Dutch locker room opened, and familiar faces appeared in front of the players - Basten, Rijkaard, Davis, Ruud...

The Dutch players got up one after another and hugged these famous seniors.

Rijkaard hugged Van Marwijk lightly and whispered in his ear: "We are uninvited guests..."

The Dutch coach said with a smile: "No, you are distinguished guests. I really want to invite distinguished guests!"

Like the players, Van Marwijk has no experience in World Cup finals, or even major finals. He doesn't know how to adjust the players' mentality under such circumstances.

At this juncture, Rijkaard and the others are here.

Rijkaard and Basten were the heroes who won the European Cup in the Netherlands in 88. When it comes to the final experience of the competition, they are better than anyone else!

Speaking of coaching level, Basten has yet to prove himself in major competitions and the Champions League, but Rijkaard single-handedly created Barcelona's "Dream Second Team".

Black swans have already proven themselves.

Their arrival will inevitably adjust the mentality of the players and resolve their tension, just like a timely rain to appease the players.

This is the background of the world's top teams.

Van Marwijk felt a lot easier.

Chen Fan and Basten hugged each other tightly. This is his mentor. Without Basten, he might still be in the Ajax youth team.

Basten patted him on the shoulder very pleased, and praised: "Boy, let it go, you are my pride!"

Sneijder on the side raised his eyebrows and asked, "Coach, what about me?"

Whether in the Netherlands or Ajax, Sneijder is the most important player in the hands of Basten.

"Of course, you are also my pride!"

Basten smiled and hugged Sneijder gently.

Stekelenburg, Van der Veer and others surrounded him and hugged Basten one after another.

The atmosphere in the locker room changed and became very loving. The tense atmosphere was replaced by a strong teacher-student relationship.

Rijkaard glanced at Basten, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Davis and others, and said, "The time for the intermission is limited. A few of us are here to cheer everyone up!"

Basten nodded and said: "My first final was also very nervous, but after I played, I put all my energy and thinking on the game itself, and didn't think about the result of the game at all. This is more conducive to my performance and helps to eliminate tension."

Rijkaard said: "The final is about the details. Spanish players have a very typical style. If they play well, they are the kings. So you can't follow their rhythm, and you must do everything possible to make them uncomfortable!"

"Defend your position, predict the opponent's forward intention in advance, and limit the opponent's midfield."

Speaking of this, Rijkaard was a little embarrassed, turned to Van Marwijk and said, "I crossed the line."

Van Marwijk said with a smile: "If someone is more familiar with Spain, in today's world football you say that you are second, few people dare to say that you are the first. For us, you are the greatest wealth!"
