Max-level burst damage at the start, the British Empire arrives!
Chapter 534 The weakest England team in history? The second best result in history!
The moment the referee pointed to the penalty spot, the England fans erupted in cheers, while the Dutch fans covered their heads with their hands.
With the 86th minute already passed, conceding a goal at this critical juncture is practically the same as being defeated in the final moments.
Outside the stadium, Hodgson jumped up and down the moment he saw the referee's gesture.
All the England players behind him jumped up from their seats, Ashley Cole hugged Walcott, and Gerrard grabbed Henderson and shook him wildly.
In their view, there was no difference between Sun Ke taking a penalty kick and scoring one.
Inside the stadium, the Dutch players surrounded the referee, all trying their best to argue, while Lampard and Rooney stood in the middle, loudly confirming the referee's decision.
Terry ran up and simply separated the Dutch players from the referee, an action that immediately angered several Dutch players, and the two sides shoved each other again.
While stretching his legs inside the penalty area, Sun Ke observed the performance of several seasoned veterans not far away.
The other England players came over one by one and patted Sun Ke on the back. Seeing how they were trying so hard to suppress their emotions in order not to put pressure on him, Sun Ke was both amused and exasperated.
After the players from both sides clashed, the focus of the matter shifted to the conflict between the two sides.
Most importantly, time kept moving forward relentlessly, and with all this commotion, the match time was already approaching 87 minutes.
Robben and Sneijder were so overwhelmed by their teammates' impulsiveness that they could only stand there with their hands on their hips watching Sun Ke place the ball at the penalty spot.
At this moment, the English fans fell silent, while the Dutch fans did their best to make noise.
At that moment, goalkeeper Cillessen walked over, picked up the ball, and used his foot to rub the grass near the penalty spot.
Seeing this, Rooney rushed forward in a rage, shoved Cillessen, and reached out to snatch the ball away.
Cillessen raised his arm, refusing to give it to Rooney.
Seeing this, Sun Ke rushed forward, made physical contact, and snatched the ball back, even giving Rooney a high-five.
Cillessen also shrugged at the referee and quickly received a yellow card.
Sun Kechao said to the referee, "He should have received a yellow card for fouling me just now. If he delays the game further, he can be sent off according to the rules."
Seeing Cillessen approaching again, the referee called him over: "If you delay the game any further, I will send you off."
Hearing this, Cillessen remained defiant, but his body betrayed him as he retreated back into the goal.
Sun Ke placed the ball on the penalty spot once again, and this time even the Dutch fans subconsciously fell silent for a moment.
In the commentary box, Lineker said with a serious expression, "The game has reached the 87th minute. If this penalty is converted, England will basically secure their place in the semi-finals."
"Sun Ke has stepped up to the penalty spot eleven times in his career, and his success rate is 100%."
"The referee blows his whistle, and Sun Ke begins his run-up!"
As Sun Ke took his run-up, the Dutch fans booed wildly.
Sun Ke glanced at Cillessen's position before shooting, then unleashed a powerful shot into the top left corner of the goal.
Cillessen judged the direction correctly, and with all his might, he lunged sideways, only to collapse completely the moment he took off.
With unstoppable momentum, Sun sent the football into the top left corner of the goal!
"Yeah!"
The instant Sun Ke scored, an English word echoed throughout the New Water Source Stadium.
The England fans, who had all stood up, cheered wildly, while the Dutch fans in the stands were completely silent.
On the field, Sun Ke vigorously swung his right arm, and his teammates rushed towards him from all directions.
Terry ran all the way to the goal, and after confirming that the referee was not looking in their direction, he kicked the ball at Cillessen again, causing a second injury.
People initially thought Terry was a Predator, but later learned that he was actually an assassin skilled at stealing people.
3: 2!
Thanks to Sun Ke's penalty, England regained the lead in the 87th minute and a half, and this goal essentially sealed the victory.
The live broadcast focused on the England team's substitutes' bench, where Hodgson was holding onto the armrest, looking at the field with a satisfied expression, as if he had just reached the top.
Not far away, Van Gaal was giving Huntelaar his final instructions on the sidelines, intending to substitute Huntelaar for left-back Blind in a last-ditch effort.
After Sun Ke scored, Lineker laughed loudly, "Haha, beautiful!"
"Sun Ke didn't give Cillessen any chance!"
"The time has reached 88 minutes, and with stoppage time, there will be no more than five minutes left."
"A lot can happen in five minutes, but I hope this is how the story ends!"
"The Netherlands have brought on a center forward, and we all know what's going to happen next."
"They will relentlessly kick the ball into the penalty area and constantly create chaos for us."
"If we keep getting the ball back into the opponent's half, it will take them at least forty seconds to launch each attack."
"What England needs to do now is not to give the opponent free kicks easily, especially in the 30-meter zone of the goal."
"If you fail to get the ball out of the penalty area after the first challenge, you must stay calm."
"Less than 30% of teams manage to equalize when they are down by one goal in the last ten minutes of the game."
"This kind of scenario is a required course for a professional player. We experience this more than ten times a year since we were 11 years old."
"If we can turn the game into a gene expression, we can win."
......
On the field, before the celebration was even over, Sun Ke gathered his teammates together and said, "After the game started, I went back to the backfield to win headers, while Sterling and Chamberlain stood at the front."
"I don't expect you to launch an attack immediately after getting the ball. Your goal is to keep the ball at your feet and then wait for your teammates."
"If there's no space to pass, and their defense is very tight, they'll just take the ball to the corner flag."
"Let's do it!"
On the Dutch side, Huntelaar informed the other players of Van Gaal's tactics.
With the addition of a center forward, the Netherlands team adopted a 3-4-3 formation.
But at this point, formation is not really important.
The important thing is what each person is responsible for once the ball is blasted into the penalty area.
Who will contest the first ball, who will fight for the second, who will receive the ball outside the penalty area, and who will chase down the England player with the ball?
The Netherlands kicked off, and three or four Dutch players stood in the center circle. The moment the referee blew the whistle, they rushed forward.
The Dutch team made a series of passes, eventually getting the ball to Sneijder on the right side of midfield.
Without saying a word, Sneijder kicked the ball towards the England penalty area.
But the instant he made his move, Sterling jumped up and blocked the ball out of bounds with his face.
This drew a round of applause from the England fans.
The Netherlands took the throw-in, and Sterling closely marked Sneijder. It took the Netherlands nearly four or five passes before they finally created their first long pass opportunity.
Now everyone's playing their cards right, they know you're going to make a long pass, how could they possibly give you a chance to kick it?
Depay hurriedly lobbed the ball into the edge of the penalty area, and Sun Ke and Hendrar jumped at the same time.
As soon as the two players made contact, Hendral deviated from his landing point, and Sun Ke headed the ball to Rooney in mid-air.
Rooney passed the ball directly to Sterling in the middle, who pretended to make a diagonal run into the middle, but suddenly changed direction to the left halfway through.
It took the Dutch players a lot of effort to push past Sterling in the corner flag area.
Sterling kicked the ball off a Dutch player's leg, creating a throw-in.
At this point, ninety minutes had passed.
The referee raised the stoppage time sign, indicating two minutes of added time.
England's four players struggled in the attacking third for almost a minute before losing possession, while the Netherlands had one minute remaining.
It took the Netherlands more than ten seconds to kick the ball out, only to have it headed directly to midfield by Sun Ke.
Lineker clicked his tongue in admiration: "The core strength is amazing!"
Seeing that his long pass was ineffective, Robben simply dribbled the ball to the right wing and then forcefully fired it into the penalty area.
Cahill's clearance hit Milner's leg and bounced to Wijnaldum's side.
A long-range shot from the Dutch midfielder was blocked out of the penalty area by Sun Ke. The Dutch player then passed the ball to the outside of the penalty area, where Sneijder received it 30 meters away. He quickly passed the ball across the box and then decisively took a shot.
The football was slightly higher than the crossbar.
At that moment, Robben looked up at the sky, while Sneijder put his hands on his hips.
The time has reached the ninety-second minute.
Joe Hart wasted nearly ten seconds before kicking the ball forward.
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle to end the match.
Sun Ke raised his hands and roared!
Making it to the semifinals is really not easy!
The English players were celebrating, while the Dutch players either put their hands on their legs or simply lay down on the grass.
Both teams were at their physical limits, but the difference was that England won.
Sun Ke hugged each of his teammates, finally getting past the Dutch team.
There are two more stages to go: the World Cup knockout stage, which will feel just like the Champions League final.
On the commentary stand, Lineker excitedly said, "Congratulations to the lads, this is England's best result in the World Cup in 24 years."
"The last time we reached the World Cup semi-finals was in 1990, a result that's tied for England's second-best in the World Cup!"
"Although this team faced a lot of criticism before the tournament started, we have won all five matches so far, making us the most attacking team in this World Cup!"
"In the match that just ended, we defeated the Netherlands, who are second in goals scored!"
"Sun Ke was the most outstanding player in this game, contributing 1 goal and 2 assists, which was the key to the victory or defeat."
"Sun Ke's stats so far in this tournament are 8 goals and 6 assists; he's the brightest star!"
"We will face Argentina in the semi-finals, and I believe that with Sun Ke leading the team, we can advance to the finals!"
