Chapter 153 Finals

Chapter 153 Finals

Mandela Square Stadium, the final battle of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is about to begin. It was also here yesterday that the third and fourth finalists of this World Cup were held. Spain beat Argentina 3-0. The two sides staged a wonderful match on the court. Attacking, today's final has attracted the attention of fans all over the world, and people are looking forward to it. The two sides can dedicate a wonderful game to fans all over the world on the court.

The starting rosters of the two sides have been announced before. The Belgian side still continued their main lineup from the previous games, while the Dutch team made appropriate fine-tuning.

The goalkeeper is still No. 1 Stekelenburg. Although he is not well-known, people will immediately think of one person when they see Stekelenburg at the first sight, and that is his brother Van der Sar.

The same thin and tall figure, also born in Ajax, even played in the Eredivisie League before the age of 20. With Van der Sar withdrawing from the national team, Stekelenburg quickly took the position. The rapid progress he has made in recent years has also shown his genius quality. In addition to his excellent physical condition, his solid basic skills are also one of his characteristics. big plus.

In the last World Cup in Germany, Basten brought him to Germany as Van der Sar's first substitute, but he didn't play a game. In the 2008 European Championship, he went out with the team again. He was in the third game of the group stage Played against Romania.

In this World Cup qualifier, Stekelenburg became the first-choice goalkeeper of the Dutch team. In the previous few games, as the main goalkeeper of the former Dutch team, Stekelenburg's outstanding performance made the Dutch team able to advance to the final a great guarantee.

The defense line is van der Veer, Heitinga, Mattison and captain Van Bronckhorst.

With Van der Sar withdrawing from the national team, Van Bronckhorst has become the oldest player in the current Dutch team. At the beginning of his career, he mainly played the midfielder position. Germany transformed him into a left back. In this position, Van Bronckhorst also rejuvenated his second career and reached the peak of his career.

At present, Van Bronckhorst is the player with the most experience in the Dutch team. He has participated in two World Cups with the Dutch team in 1998 and 2006, as well as three European Championships in 2000, 2004 and 2008. He played in the World Cup in South Africa. In fact, his experience is also a valuable asset for the relatively young Dutch team.

In the previous semi-final match against Argentina, Van Bronckhorst used a wonderful long shot to help the Dutch team take the lead in the first ten minutes of the game, and also opened the door for the Dutch team to win.

Like Stekelenburg, Heitinga is also a product of the famous Ajax youth training camp in the Netherlands. He became famous in the Eredivisie in his early years. He was once a Known by the Dutch media as "New Coman". However, Heitinga's defense is not calm enough and he makes many mistakes. If he plays as a central defender, he still cannot be reassuring. Because of this, he is now more of a right back in the Dutch national team.

Heitinga represented the Dutch team for the first time in an international competition, or in the European Championship in 2004. He played as the main right back in the first two group matches, but two yellow cards made him in the third group match. The game was suspended, and then the Dutch team defeated Sweden in the quarter-finals and lost to Portugal in the semi-finals. Heitinga played both.

The next two major competitions, the 2006 World Cup and the 2008 European Cup, Heitinga were also shortlisted. In this World Cup, Heitinga also played as the main central defender and helped the team reach the final.

At present, many of the Dutch team are players who participated in the European Cup two years ago. Van der Veer is a rare rookie in the team, but he occupies the main position.

Born in 1988, Van der Veer is only 22 years old. He is physically strong, has outstanding speed, and has a strong breakthrough ability. He is currently an important force for the Dutch team's right-wing attack.

Now the Dutch team's offense has shifted from the left to the right in the past. In addition to Van Bronckhorst's aging and Robben's right-wing, Van der Wiel's super assist ability is also the key reason.

In the group stage, through his World Cup debut against Denmark, he fully demonstrated his ability on the biggest stage, which made people's eyes shine.

In this game with Denmark, Van der Veer's most eye-catching thing is the continuous wonderful breakthrough. During the game, Van der Wiel dribbled the ball and broke through the middle. After passing two people in a row, he was successfully tackled by the opponent at the front of the penalty area. The Dutch right back almost completed a fatal breakthrough. Body and speed are the guarantee for his breakthrough, and his technique is also good with strong impact, which guarantees the success rate of his breakthrough.

Then Van der Veer took the ball and broke through multiple defenders in a row, and scored the ball at the front of the penalty area. Unfortunately, Van Persie failed to get the ball in time and missed the opportunity to get the ball into the penalty area and get a single shot.

His performance in the debut game was excellent both offensively and defensively, but it does not mean that Van der Weil has no weaknesses. He is very easy to lose the ball on the court. Such mistakes are absolutely fatal for defenders. Too many, he is better at dribbling the ball and threatening the opponent's goal, but if there are no crosses and shots, his offensive ability is not enough to make the opponent frightened.

In the next few games, Van der Veer's performance became better and better. While ensuring the defense, he also played a great role in the offense.

Due to Van der Weil's outstanding performance, many European giants are eyeing the Dutch international. In the past season, many Premier League giants, Inter Milan and AC Milan have had scandals with Van der Weil. Before the World Cup, it was hot The first goal of firing Barcelona now is Van der Veer.

Compared with his defensive partner, Mattison's reputation is much smaller, but his role on the court is very prominent. He can always stand in the most critical position, and protecting the second point is his specialty.

During the game, it was not so easy for any offensive player to pass Matheson. His steals were fierce but accurate. The best choice at this time was to bypass him.

At the same time, Matheson's speed is good, and he will not suffer at all when marking speed forwards, and most importantly, Matheson's assist ability is also quite good.

However, being easily irritable and getting angry is Matheson's biggest shortcoming, and emotional fluctuations often affect his performance.

In the midfield, Van Bommel and Van der Vaart partnered as midfielders. Before this game, De Jong was injured during training, which gave Van der Vaart a chance. It is a big trend, and maybe Van Marwijk also wants to try it on Van der Vaart.

Van Bommel is a traditional defensive midfielder. From the perspective of technical characteristics, Van Bommel has a good overall situation, abundant physical strength, and excellent offensive and defensive capabilities. He is the absolute ruler on the field. Long-range shooting is even better. Van Bommel's defense is very stable, and his offensive sharpness is also his main feature.

His strong body, excellent technique and overall view make Van Bommel a key part of the Dutch team's tactical system. In addition, his free kick skills are also a weapon that any team needs.

In terms of clubs, Van Bommel has achieved great brilliance, but in the Dutch national team, he has had an unsatisfactory experience.

After 2000, Van Bommel was called into the Dutch national team and officially entered the world stage, but the Netherlands failed to attend the World Cup finals.

In 2004, he missed the European Nations Cup in 2004 due to injuries. Van Bommel's first major event was the 2006 World Cup. In Germany, he played three games for the Netherlands and won the top sixteen. Due to the loss to Portugal, he was helplessly out.

After the World Cup in Germany, Van Bommel publicly criticized the Dutch national team coach Basten and declared that he would no longer play for the national team led by Basten, which also made him miss the 2008 European Cup.

Subsequently, Basten dismissed get out of class and Van Bommel's father-in-law Van Marwijk took office. Van Bommel was truly reused. He represented the Dutch national team in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and followed the Dutch team all the way to the final.

At present, Dutch captain Van Bronckhorst has announced that he will retire after the World Cup, and Van Bommel is also very hopeful to become the new captain of the Dutch team.

Partnering with Van Bommel is Van der Vaart, a genius of the Dutch football generation. Unlike Van Bommel who is slightly rough, Van der Vaart's skills are superb, and his passing is imaginative and lethal. As early as 2001 , Van der Vaart, who was not yet 18 years old, was selected for the Dutch national team for the first time and played against Andorra.

What really made van der Vaart famous was on November 30, 2003, the 150th "Dutch National Derby" between Ajax and Feyenoord. In the cross from Yazuo, van der Vaart faced the incoming ball, leaped forward in the penalty area, crossed his body in the air, and hooked the ball into the net with his left heel. This was a "dragon wagging" goal , It is enough to remind people of Di Stefano, a football genius who played for Real Madrid in the past.

In this World Cup, Van der Vaart is not the absolute main force of the Dutch team. He was able to play in the final mainly because of De Jong's accidental injury. However, Van Marwijk sent such a lethal genius in the midfield Players may also have unexpected effects.

In front of the two defensive midfielders were three players, Robben, Sneijder and Dirk.

The Dutch team's winger tactics have been known for a long time. Overmars, as the first Dutch winger recorded in history, is an idol for all his peers to learn from. Now, Robben has fulfilled his mission and took over the fighting gun from his predecessors. , continue to open up the side corridors of the Oranje Corps.

The first time Robben represented the Netherlands in an international competition was the European Cup in 2004. However, in that event, the Dutch national team finally fell into the sand, but it made a new star come out. This new star is Robben.

In the second game of the group stage, Robben got the start and assisted his teammate Bouma to score a goal in just four minutes of the opening, and then Robben assisted Ruud van Nistelrooy again to expand the score.

In the last group match, Robben, who played the whole game, used an assist to help the team beat Latvia 3:0.

In the quarter-finals, the Netherlands and Sweden entered a penalty shootout. Robben used a penalty kick to help the Netherlands advance to the semi-finals, and also shattered the nightmare of the Netherlands penalty kick.

On the field, every time Robben takes the ball, it gives people a refreshing feeling. With his superb passing skills and his own super strength, every pass of this "organizational winger" makes the Dutch team The striker felt "pretty comfortable", and Robben gradually gained the trust of coaches and teammates in the national team.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Robben, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Van Persie formed a strong three arrows. The winger combination of Robben and Van Persie was regarded as an emerging force in the Netherlands. Serbia and Montenegro scored the first goal of the Dutch team in the 2006 World Cup. This is also Robben's first goal in the World Cup. That single-handed goal reflects its unparalleled advantage in long-distance raids.

In the 2008 European Cup, Robben's outstanding performance helped the Oranje to advance to the knockout round with a group victory, but was upset by Russia in the quarter-finals.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Robben's performance was perfect. In the group stage, he assisted Huntelaar to beat Cameroon, and the Netherlands won the group stage. In the 1/8 finals, Robben and Sneijder scored at the same time to eliminate Slovakia. In the 1/4 finals, Sneijder scored twice with a corner kick to eliminate Brazil. In the semi-finals, they scored simultaneously with Sneijder again and eliminated Argentina 3:0. The triumphant song advanced to the final.

Robben, who was born as a winger, has the world's first-class dribbling skills, and he also has unparalleled speed, which makes him often have an advantage in long-distance sprints and opposing defenders. In his career, Robben has repeatedly performed After a long-distance raid, it is a good show to go straight to Huanglong.

At the same time, Robben is still a team player. His existence is not only about scoring goals, but also creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. Due to his outstanding speed, when Robben forms a one-on-one with the opposing defender on the wing, his breakthrough speed is definitely a nightmare for defenders.

In the 2008 European Championship against France, Robben's high-speed bottoming made Makelele, who is known as the "little fast spirit", try his best to catch up, and finally had to watch Robben assist Van Persie to score a goal .

Robben is a left-footed player, but in recent years he has been playing more and more right-wingers. The intention of the coaches is very obvious, that is, to use Robben to get rid of the defense and cut inside to form a left-footed shot.

And because he played in midfield when he was young, Robben also practiced outstanding long-range shooting skills. In his early years in football, Robben had performed a good show of shooting through Yang many times.

After joining Chelsea, the excellent defense in Europe's top leagues also gave birth to Robben to strengthen his long-range shooting skills. He scored outside the penalty area many times to help the team turn the tide.

Different from traditional wingers, Robben's height of 181cm is not short, but he is as flexible as all wingers. Due to his thin stature, Robben's start and change of direction are very quick, which also allows him to often play around with his opponents. between.

And unlike many wingers who use feints to sway continuously, Robben's way of dribbling is more direct. This left-footed player who rarely uses feints is completely using his own speed and direction to break through the defense.

The former head coach of the Dutch team, Basten, once said: "Roben is too fast, and no one can guard him in one-on-one."

On the other side of the Dutch team, Robben echoes Dirk Dirk. Compared with traditional Dutch wingers, Dirk Dirk's scoring efficiency is not very high, and he is often overlooked on the court. His low-key personality also kept him out of the national team. His first job was Basten. After Basten took over the coach of the national team, he abandoned many players, such as Ma Kai and Kluivert. Kurit became the beneficiary.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he played more often as a substitute, and the experience of that World Cup was not pleasant for him.

What really made him shine in the national team was the European Championship in 2008. Although he was eventually eliminated by Russia, his performance was unanimously recognized.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Dirk Dirk participated in the previous six games of the Dutch team as the main right winger. He scored one goal and assisted three times. He also made a great contribution to the team on the defensive end and broke into the final for the Dutch team. , made great contributions.

The central midfielder of the Dutch team is Sneijder. His international career began in 2003. On April 30, 2003, in a friendly match between the Netherlands and Portugal, Sneijder, who was under 19 years old, completed his national team debut and became a national team player. The eighth youngest debut player in the history of the Dutch team.

In the 2004 European Championship qualifying play-off match against Scotland, Sneijder started the game, and he and the same young van der Vaart helped the Dutch team beat their opponents 6-0 with an eye-catching performance. Defeated the Netherlands in the first game. The Netherlands had to win the game at home. Snyder and van der Vaart, who performed amazingly at the club, started the dual-core midfielder for the first time in the national team and scored the first goal. Afterwards, Sneijder continued to send out assists, and almost revitalized the Dutch team by himself. Since then, he has become the new idol of the Dutch team. After the game, the Dutch media couldn't help shouting: "God is only 19 years old."

In the 2004 European Cup, Sneijder was selected into the big list, but he did not get enough opportunities to play. In the two group matches, he was also placed on the right midfielder in the non-traditional Dutch formation. It can be said that the head coach Edwar Carter's conservative and wrong use of people wasted Sneijder's chance to surprise Europe for the first time.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Sneijder made his debut in all four games of the Dutch team, but the inexperienced coach Van Basten suddenly placed Sneijder in the position of the midfielder in a whimsical way and restricted his forward penetration. Ned's performance was also greatly limited because of this. Later, the Dutch media severely criticized Van Basten's wrong use of Sneijder.

In the 2008 European Cup, Sneijder shined brilliantly. Wearing No. 10, he looked like the leader of the team. He may be the shortest player in the Dutch team, but he is the core midfielder who can run, pass and shoot. , people can't help but want to give the title of "Superman". The Dutch team defeated Italy 3-0 and France 4-1 in the group stage. Sneijder scored in both games and both Was named the best player on the spot.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Sneijder led the Dutch team to participate as a core player. He played in all 6 games before the Dutch team, scoring five goals and assisting once.

Among them, in the quarter-finals, Sneijder scored two goals to send Brazil away, and in the semi-finals, Sneijder scored another goal to seal the victory, helping the Netherlands beat Uruguay 3-0, and finally helped the Dutch team history with outstanding performance. Into the World Cup final for the third time.

Van Persie, a single striker, was in Germany four years ago. Van Persie wore the No. 17 jersey of the Dutch team and participated in the World Cup for the first time. He was the main right winger of the Dutch team at that time.

In the first group match between the Netherlands and Montenegro, Van Persie assisted Arjen Robben and scored the only goal of the game. The team opened the scoring to help the Netherlands beat Côte d'Ivoire 2:1.

Van Persie then participated in the Dutch team's game against Argentina and Portugal, but the Dutch team performed dull in this game and was finally eliminated by Portugal in the quarter-finals. Van Persie is one of the few Dutch teams in this game. One of the highlights.

In the 2008 European Cup, because the Dutch team adopted a 4231 formation, Van Persie had to give up the shadow forward position to van der Vaart, and at the same time, the position on the left was also squeezed by Sneijder.

In the first two games of the group stage, Van Persie came off the bench, but his performance was quite good. In the second group match against France, Van Persie came off the bench in the second half and scored a goal quickly. Help the team beat the French team 4:1.

In the third group match against Romania, Van Persie finally got a chance to start, and he also scored his second goal in this cup in this game.

In the quarter-finals against Russia, Van Persie still came off the bench, but this time he and the Dutch team did not perform well, and the Netherlands eventually lost 1:3.

On the stage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Van Persie has become the main center of the Dutch team and also wore the No. 9 jersey of the main center, but he was not happy in this cup.

Van Persie has played all six of the Netherlands' previous games, scoring just one goal in their third group match against Cameroon.

In the rest of the time, Robben and Sneijder stole Van Persie's limelight, which has a lot to do with the conservative tactics specified by the Dutch coach Van Marwijk.

Although Van Persie was placed in the center position, he was actually just covering for Sneijder and Robben. The Dutch team rarely delivered the ball to Van Persie's feet, so he was very lonely most of the time. However, Van Persie accepted such an arrangement.

Although the Dutch team played dull, they finally reached the final, and now Van Persie very much hopes that he can make a breakthrough in this decisive battle.

Van Persie shoots very well. His shots are mainly volleys with his left foot. His teammate's pass is not ideal. He can adjust his shot after losing his body balance, and he can complete a strong shot without a lot of body swing before shooting, which often makes the opponent's goalkeeper unable to react in time and volleys. It is even more unique.

The Dutch team has now set the stage, and the Belgian team is also waiting for it. The final battle of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is about to officially start.

The Mandela Square stadium has long been filled with fans from both sides. One side is orange, which symbolizes tulips, and the other side is bright red, which represents the European Red Devils. From a distance, the stands seem to be on fire.

Digan Lukaku stood in the middle circle, waiting for the referee Webber to blow the whistle of the game.

I was so nervous last night that I couldn't sleep, but from the moment I walked into the finals, the tension disappeared immediately, and the rest was only excitement and excitement.

This is Degan's second World Cup final. The last time he played with an injury, he ended up leaving the field before half-time due to injury. The Belgian team also missed the chance to win the cup.

This time, Digan would never allow the same thing to happen again!

Four years of waiting, four years of waiting!

Degan and his team are finally here again, challenging for the World Cup title.

"Captain! I seem a little nervous!" said Lukaku, who was standing opposite Digan, frowning.

Digan laughed when he heard that: "It's not nervous, it's excited, understand?"

excited?

Lukaku is a little confused, okay! Even if it is exciting!

Unlike the few players in the team who experienced the final four years ago, this is the first time for young Lukaku and the others. How many times can a professional player have such opportunities in his life?

Degan wants to make up for the regrets of four years ago. Lukaku and other young people also don't want to miss this good opportunity to reach the pinnacle of the football world.

Referee Webber's whistle, accompanied by cheers from the fans, officially kicked off the final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Lukaku kicked the ball to Degan, who turned and passed it to Hazard before running towards the Dutch half.

At the same time, the defense of the Dutch team also unfolded, and the fierce battle between the two sides just started.

At this moment, the hearts of countless fans all over the world were touched. The World Cup, which is held every four years, has too many irresistible charms. Now after a month of hard work, it is finally time for the decisive battle. In minutes, a new world champion will be born.

Is Tulip Holland?

Or the Red Devils Belgium?

There are too many expectations in people's hearts! All expectations will be given the final answer after 90 minutes!
