Max-level burst damage at the start, the British Empire arrives!

After scoring his third World Cup goal, Walcott was so happy he danced and sang along to the songs of neutral fans.

When Brazil plays in the World Cup, the neutral fans are naturally predominantly Brazilian.

Although English and Dutch fans have been exchanging insults with each other through their music since the start of the match, much like two groups of rappers.

But no matter how much they cursed, the Brazilian fans and other fans caught in the middle were singing and dancing.

Walcott's awkward hip-twisting dance just now is bound to cause him social turmoil sooner or later; the internet remembers.

The game restarted, and Van Persie, a little impatient, received the ball outside the penalty area and unleashed a furious shot that predictably sent the ball into the stands.

Upon seeing this, England fans burst into laughter, loudly chanting lyrics similar to "If you can't score, it's because you're weak."

When it comes to mocking a man's incompetence, men all over the world can agree on the right words.

The game continued, and the Dutch players' morale began to wane as they conceded two shots on goal to England.

Rooney's long-range shot from outside the penalty area went just wide. Walcott almost scored again, but his shot from a stationary position went directly into Cillessen's arms.

About five minutes later, the Dutch team regained their form, and the game returned to a balanced state.

In the 32nd minute, the Dutch team, after a prolonged siege of the English team, failed to break through. They began to try through balls into the penalty area, but all of them were successfully cleared by English players.

They launched another attack, and Robben suddenly moved from the left flank to the center.

As he moved into the middle, Sneijder's pass arrived at his feet.

The instant Robben touched the ball, Henderson immediately made a sliding tackle.

Seeing Henderson make a sliding tackle, Sun Kexin thought, "Oh no!"

Henderson is far too slow to match the foot speed of a top winger like Robben.

If this were a club match, Robben might have dodged it to avoid injury.

But at this critical juncture, Old Man Luo never lacked courage.

really!

Robben quickly parried Henderson's tackle, poking the ball in front of him and leaping to avoid it.

Henderson still managed to hook Robben, but the veteran managed to maintain his balance in the air, landed, took a touch, and charged straight towards the edge of the penalty area.

Seeing Robben charging towards the penalty area, Cahill immediately rushed out, and Walker decisively abandoned the winger and retreated into the penalty area.

At the same time, Robben, dribbling at high speed, suddenly made a through pass, sending the ball into the left side of the penalty area.

Van Persie started his run at the same time he passed the ball, and Terry tried to close in, but was almost instantly shaken off.

Van Persie has broken into the penalty area!

crucial moment!

Joe Hart burst out from the six-yard box, and just as Van Persie was about to touch the ball, he slid sideways on the grass and caught the ball in his arms.

so close!

After witnessing this scene, Sun Ke breathed a sigh of relief in the front field.

To be honest, Henderson's tackle just now wasn't exactly reckless, but it was definitely a gamble.

Against a player like Robben who can pass, dribble, and has a powerful shot, a tackle is really risky.

If it were Sun Ke, he would immediately pass the ball to the opponent on the right side, allowing Robben to dribble diagonally, and then try to slow the opponent down through physical contact.

If the attacking player slows down at this point and seizes the opportunity to extend their leg, they will most likely be able to pok the ball away.

However, this is from my own perspective.

To play like this, the defending player needs to be calm and collected. They must not panic. At this moment, basketball IQ and experience will definitely outweigh physical ability.

In fact, looking at European football, many great defensive midfielders don't have absolute speed; at least compared to Robben, they are all slow.

As long as the space between them is limited, there isn't a significant difference in their speeds.

Gattuso was once considered the world's best defensive midfielder. Everyone knew how fast he could run, but he was just so good at defending against him.

If the defender were Kante, he definitely wouldn't have tackled. This guy would have just stepped up, made a quick burst of speed, and poked the ball away.

Seeing this goal, commentator Gary Lineker was also taken aback: "Although we are in the lead for the time being, the game is still even."

"But a one-goal advantage isn't significant, and in this situation, the score could change at any moment."

Trailing in the score, the Dutch players played very patiently. Their tactic was to hold onto the ball and not easily give it back to England, patiently waiting for opportunities.

Against the Netherlands, England would quickly advance the ball into the attacking third as soon as they gained possession, allowing Sun Ke to create scoring opportunities in the attacking third.

The Netherlands' defensive strategy against Sun Ke was very similar to that of the Greek team, absolutely denying him any shooting opportunities.

Given equal opportunities, even if other English players score, Sun Ke should not be allowed to shoot.

Because neither Walcott nor Rooney converts opportunities as well as Sun Ke.

In the 37th minute, the Netherlands team gained possession of the ball in the attacking third.

Robben ran to the middle to receive the ball again, and just as he got the ball, Rooney chased after him from behind.

Facing a pincer movement from Henderson and Rooney, Robben passed the ball to Kuyt on the right wing the instant he received it.

Kuyt chose to drive directly to Walker's defense.

But at the moment he chose to make a tackle, Walker decisively slid in, sending the ball toward the sideline.

Kuyt turned around to chase the ball, and Walker got up from the ground and rushed over.

When they reached the sideline, Kuyt used his body to block Walker's position.

But Walker braced Kuyt with his arm and then poked the ball with his right leg.

Kuyt blocked the ball and charged towards it, while Walker overtook him from outside the sideline, taking less than ten meters to turn the game around, and then carried the ball forward along the left flank.

Kuyt lost his position, leaving the right flank of the Netherlands wide open. Walker carried the ball all the way to the halfway line before encountering De Jong who came up to intercept.

Before De Jong could press, Walker immediately passed the ball behind De Jong, and Milner received the ball and continued his long run down the left flank.

The Dutch right-back dared not press forward and could only fight and retreat.

Milner suddenly headed towards the center flank, forcing Dutch right-back Verhaegal to chase after him.

Just as he was chasing Milner, Sun Ke suddenly rushed towards the left side of the penalty area.

The moment Sun Ke made his run into space, Milner decisively passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Seeing Sun Ke receive the ball on the left side of the penalty area, Verhaeg and center-back Vlaar rushed towards Sun Ke at the same time, and goalkeeper Cillessen also moved to the near post.

Just as Sun Ke was about to take a shot, Vlaar decisively made a sliding tackle to delay Sun Ke's shot.

At this moment, all the England fans stood up!

Just when everyone thought Sun Ke would shoot directly, Sun Ke chose to touch the ball with the outside of his left foot, turning his entire body around almost halfway.

This dribbling turn completely shook off two defenders, leaving the Dutch goal wide open.

Sun Ke glanced at the goal and decisively chose to shoot.

The instant he took the shot, another center-back, De Vrij, immediately slid in to block his shooting angle.

but!

next moment!

Sun Ke suddenly flicked his wrist slightly, pushing the ball towards the center of the penalty area.

Rooney has already moved into the center of the penalty area!

At this moment, the Dutch players were all shocked, and only goalkeeper Cillessen was left in front of Rooney.

Facing the incoming ball, Rooney decisively pushed it to the right side of the goal with his right foot.

Cillessen, who was running from the left side of the goal, made a decisive diving save, and left-back Blind also made a desperate sliding tackle.

But Rooney's shot was at a very tricky angle, and the two Dutch players could only watch helplessly as the ball rolled into the goal.

2: 0!

Despite not having the advantage in possession!

England once again relied on Sun Ke's individual ability in the penalty area to assist Rooney's shot and score!

The moment England scored, all the England fans jumped up, and cheers resounded throughout the stadium.

After scoring, Rooney excitedly jumped onto Sun Ke, repeatedly pumping his fists and roaring towards the stands!

The England players excitedly ran towards the two, and everyone formed a circle around them, patting them on the back.

The Dutch players, on the other hand, struck the same helpless pose with their hands on their hips.

On the sidelines, the moment Sun Ke scored, Hodgson leaned back and kept punching his fists, and the England players on the bench all jumped up and ran to the sidelines to celebrate wildly.

Not far away, Van Gaal watched the pitch with a gloomy expression.

The host in the commentary booth cheered loudly.

Before he could finish speaking, Lineker interrupted, "That's the power of a top center!"

"Throughout football history, there have been many strikers with outstanding goal-scoring abilities, but many players also have flaws."

"They either prioritize scoring, playmaking, or driving to the basket; almost no player is perfect in every aspect!"

"But through that goal, we can see what Sun Ke did!"

"He first turned while moving at high speed, following the trajectory of the ball—a move that looks easy, but almost no one can pull it off!"

"To complete this move, you need speed faster than a football, as well as excellent technique and ball control. He didn't move towards the outside when he completed the move; he turned almost instantly!"

"This move completely disrupted the Dutch defense. As I said, the Dutch players will go to any lengths to defend against Sun Ke, and they certainly did!"

"After attracting the attention of the defenders, Sun Ke did not waste any time observing and immediately passed the ball to the middle."

"Even if that pass had been delayed by 0.5 seconds, it would have given the defender a chance to block it!"

"During the process of this goal, Sun Ke had two shooting opportunities, but he chose the safest way to score!"

"Sun Ke has played four matches in this World Cup, contributing 7 goals and 6 assists for the team!"

"He's absolutely unstoppable on the court!"

"Without players like these, I find it hard to imagine the England team achieving what it has today!"

"At this point, what the other England players need to do is defend well and keep creating opportunities for Son!"

Lineker spoke with a hopeful expression, as if he could already see England lifting the World Cup trophy.

But if the England team were that good, they wouldn't have been eliminated in the group stage in my previous life.

In the 43rd minute, England's attack failed, and the Netherlands immediately launched a long pass.

Blind kicked the ball towards midfield, and Van Persie, who had dropped back from the forward position, used a shuttlecock-kicking motion, jumping up and flicking the ball to the left wing with his heel.

Robben surged forward in an instant, and the moment he caught up with the ball, he poked it into the penalty area. Phil Jones, despite his best efforts, was left far behind.

The England players could only watch helplessly as Robben charged into the penalty area from midfield!

Robben glanced to his right, and Wijnaldum moved into the right side of the penalty area, while Van Persie reached out for the ball at the edge of the box.

next moment!

Facing Joe Hart, Robben decisively chose to shoot into the near corner.

The England goalkeeper had no time to react and made a decisive sliding tackle, blocking the shot with his right leg.

but!

The ball bounced back to Robben, and Terry rushed up but didn't dare to shoot. Robben darted left and right, creating space to cut inside and find a shooting opportunity.

He single-handedly turned England's defense upside down.

Just as the English players were trying to block the shot one after another, Robben suddenly flicked the ball into the middle of the penalty area with the outside of his foot.

Sneijder moved into the middle, where there were no defenders within a two-meter radius of him.

broken!

Just as Sun Ke realized something was wrong, Sneijder raised his right leg and kicked out.

"Bang!"

The ball slipped through the gaps between the England players and into the bottom right corner of the goal!

2: 1!

The Netherlands team took less than ten seconds from the long pass from their own half to the final shot that found the net!

At that speed, how could English players possibly keep up?

This attack was exactly what the Dutch team excelled at, and that's how they broke Spain down.

After scoring, the not-so-tall Sneijder clenched his fist and roared, and all the Dutch players around him rushed up and surrounded him.

"Tsk tsk!"

Sun Ke clicked his tongue twice, then clapped his hands repeatedly to encourage his teammates.

Conceding a goal close to halftime is really frustrating.

But we can only accept it; it's normal to get completely outplayed by another golden generation of Dutch football.

At this stage of the World Cup, England is facing teams that are stronger than themselves.

Even if you don't make mistakes, it doesn't guarantee you won't concede a goal.

The game restarted, and Sun Ke received the ball at a distance of nearly 35 meters from the goal and unleashed a powerful shot.

With a loud bang, the football struck Cillessen's arm and bounced more than ten meters high.

Hey!

When the World Cup came around, these players all acted like they had a serious illness.

His mental state is exceptionally high; this goalkeeper can save any shot.

There was only one minute of added time in the first half, and the referee quickly blew the whistle to end the first half.

England and Netherlands fans continued to hurl insults at each other, while players from both sides walked proudly toward the players' tunnel.

While pretending to chat and laugh casually with his teammates, Sun Ke secretly thought the Dutch team was really difficult to deal with.

You only know when you experience it: the World Cup is a tournament that bewitches all the players.
