The starting list for the first semi-final of the 2018 Ross World Cup appeared on the FIFA official website. Football experts from major media used the time before the game started to analyze the fans who are paying attention to the World Cup. The first semi-final of the World Cup in the future may appear. various situations.

Most media football experts are optimistic about the Dutch team. In addition to Van Kerry scoring an astonishing 12 goals in the past five World Cup games, it is also directly related to the Dutch team's stable defense system.

Goalkeeper Cillessen is Barcelona's backup goalkeeper. He is the type who can often participate in games. His strength should not be underestimated. The left-back Van Aanholt, who came from Chelsea's youth training, performed well in the Premier League Crystal Palace. He is good at attacking and defending and is at the peak of his career. Period, he was one of the candidates for the best right back in the Premier League last season.

Right back Hartbauer is the biggest discovery of the Dutch team. In January last year, he transferred from Groningen in the Netherlands to join Atalanta for a very low price of 1 million euros. After half a season of adaptation, he was the best player in Serie A in 2017-2018. The right back also performed well in this World Cup and became the key player of the Dutch team.

The central defender pairing of Van Dijk and De Ligt was the main central defensive combination that won Manchester United's quadruple championship last season. It was the central defensive combination that conceded the best goals in the five major European leagues. Coupled with Van Aanholt and Hartbauer, the whole team The defense system has been tempered by the World Cup, and his worth has skyrocketed, adding up to nearly 200 million euros.

Midfielder De Jongen is good at defense and perfectly fits Wijnaldum and Van de Beek, who are strong in offense and weak in defense. He can be called the best midfield combination in this World Cup.

Not to mention the forward line, with Van Carey leading the way, it can break through any solid defense system on the planet.

In addition, Luke De Jong’s tactical role in the Dutch team is very obvious. He can play the ball, has excellent one-touch ability, and outstanding header ability. The most valuable thing is his positive attitude in the game. When the team is on defense, He will often be very devoted to defense, the kind that spares no effort in physical strength, which can make up for the shortcomings of the system caused by Van Carey not needing to participate in defense.

Babel is the key player in Van Basten's tactical system who shares Van Kerry's dribbling tasks. To put it simply, he is the offensive tool man.

On the other hand, Belgium's starting lineup is completely focused on solid defense, leaving only Lukaku, Hazard and De Bruyne to attack with all their strength.

Obviously, this is because of the Dutch team's super offensive ability.

Seeing the opponent's starting lineup, Van Basten raised the corners of his mouth slightly and showed a confident smile. In fact, it was more risky for him to send Babel, but when he saw that Belgium's lineup was mainly stable, he felt relieved.

Babel is a typical winger who is strong in offense and weak in defense. It can even be said that he does not like to return to defense many times, so that his defense is easily penetrated by the opponent. However, as Belgium develops a defensive posture, Babel brings Defensive issues are almost negligible.

After all, his age is not suitable for playing for ninety minutes. Whenever there is a physical problem, he will be replaced with fresh blood immediately.

Belgium head coach Martinez took a look at the Dutch team's starting lineup, and it was no different from what he imagined, so he could ask the team to strictly follow the tactics laid out before the game.

As long as there are no accidents, there is a high probability of defeating the Netherlands and setting a team record to advance to the World Cup finals.

There are still ten minutes left before the start of the game. Players from both teams leave the home and away team locker rooms. The starting players stay in the tunnel and the substitute players go straight into the field. Players they meet on the way who are familiar with each other will take the initiative to hug each other, preparing for the upcoming World Cup semi-finals. Release kindness.

Competitive sports are cruel, but it does not affect the friendship between players.

Dutch players and Belgian players who played for Manchester United all started the game, which also made the Manchester United fans in front of the TV thoroughly addicted.

Waiting before the start of the game, the Manchester United teammates of the two teams hugged each other and cheered each other under the close-up broadcast screen, encouraging each other.

Van Carey and Hazard were the top stars of both sides in the first World Cup semi-final, and the on-site director naturally paid special attention to them. However, what disappointed the fans in front of the TV was that there was no communication between them.

About a minute later, the referee Cunha from Uruguay led the players from both sides from the tunnel to the Zenit Arena.

"aoaooaooaoaooaoaooaoooo——"

The overwhelming cheers poured down, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, sweeping across the entire stadium.

The south and north stands of the stadium were decorated meaningfully by Dutch and Belgian fans. The Dutch fans in the north used orange and blue mosaic boards to piece together a huge Dutch Football Association team emblem. The Belgian fans in the south stand used black, A mosaic of red and yellow forms the Belgian FA crest covering the grandstand.

A series of pre-match ceremonies ended. Captains Van Kerry and Kompany walked to the middle of the court facing referee Cunha in the main stand to guess the ball before the game.

Fortunately, Van Kerry once again lost the right to pick the edge and automatically won the right to kick off.

Compared with the hesitation of other captains, Belgian captain Kompany chose to face the half of the field with his back to his own fans. This means that the defense in the first half was supported by his own fans, and the offense in the second half was supported by his own fans.

Van Carey didn't think too much about it. For him, rather than spending brain cells thinking about these issues that are not particularly impactful, it is more realistic to get the right to kick off.

The easiest time to score in a football match is at the kick-off of the first half, at the end of the second half and at the beginning and end of the second half. It is particularly important to seize the offensive opportunities at the beginning.

In a tournament system, whoever scores first will take the initiative.

The Dutch players are wearing white jerseys and orange shorts. They attack from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left."

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5 in the live commentary box, blurted out his iconic opening remarks:"The Belgian players wearing red jerseys and red pants are attacking from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left.……"

At the same time, Luke De Jong, who was standing next to the kick-off point, handed the football to captain Van Kerry outside the center circle of his team. Suddenly, a huge shout like a tsunami sounded over the Zenit Arena:"aoaooaooaoaooaoaooaooo——"

Van Carey, who caught the ball, glanced at his club teammate Lukaku, who stepped forward to put pressure, and quickly accelerated away.

After dribbling the ball across the center line, he met Hazard who was actively defending. He faked a dunk, forming a breakthrough like passing through a wooden post, and continued to accelerate towards Belgium's defensive half.

De Bruyne and Dembele rushed out aggressively. Van Kerry passed the ball to the left with the arch of his right foot as if he had eyes on the back of his head. Van der Beek, who was forward to participate in the attack, directly transferred the ball to Van Anho on the left. At Walter's feet.

After multiple passes, the football was given to Hartbauer on the right. He passed the ball directly before Shazli was in place. The football drew a wonderful arc in mid-air, from Vertonghen and Luke in front of him. De Jong flew over his head and landed in the middle of the penalty area.

The on-site director switched the camera, and the fans sitting in front of the TV just saw Van Carey flash in front of Alderweireld, leap high, and beat Kompany, who took off later, to head the ball to the upper right corner of the goal.

The focused Courtois, with divine help, almost relied on instinctive reaction to block Van Carey's header from the baseline.

"wowowoowoooooooooo——"

As the Belgian fans burst into frightened exclamations, Courtois, who had made a wonderful save, jumped up from the ground, raised his arms and shouted, venting his efforts to turn the tide!
