"aoaooaaoaoaoaooaooooooo——"

The French fans at the Luzhniki Stadium began to roar like a tsunami, cheering for Griezmann/Pogba who were about to take a direct free kick.

No matter who takes the kick, they will feel that they will pose a threat to the Dutch team's goal.

Affected by the fanatical atmosphere at the scene, Dutch coach Van Basten felt vaguely uneasy.

Soon, he felt relieved.

Although De Jongen's foul position is more dangerous, the French team does not have a top free kick expert of Van Carey's level, and it is simply difficult to get around the wall and threaten Cillessen to guard the goal.

The defense system led by Van Dijk can be said to be impregnable. With Luke De Jong, Wijnaldum, De Jongen and other players assisting in defense, even if he is hung into the penalty area, he will be cleared by his own defensive players.

"Beep~"

At this moment, the referee Piñata blew his whistle, indicating that the French team could take a free kick in the frontcourt.

Griezmann, who is very skilled with his left foot, took the lead in starting a run-up. The Dutch wall held its breath and was ready at any time. He took off and used his body to block Griezmann's direct free kick.

But Griezmann didn't take a shot or pass the ball. He feinted a shot and ran over the football, followed by Pogba in three steps. Take two steps together, support your left foot, and quickly kick the football with the inside of the instep of your right foot.

The football that rises from the ground flies over the top of the four-man Dutch wall, bypasses the front point with an obvious inner instep arc, and falls towards the penalty area. At the back point, Luke De Jong, Van Dijk Giroud and Varane took off at the same time. Luke De Jong, who had a slight advantage in the position, saw the football placement and headed the ball hard.

Luke De Jong headed the ball while retreating , Varane headed the ball forward, and when he headed the ball, he had an additional action of reaching out to put a hand on the back of Luke De Jong's neck, so that the place where Luke De Jong touched the ball was very awkward. The back of his head hit the football, and the ball was rubbed. The football he hit was very thin.

The football he hit flew toward the goal behind him in an irregular parabola. Goalkeeper Cillessen, who was standing in front of the goal, felt his heart skip a beat. He moved very fast with his feet, moved sideways, bent his knees and jumped into the air. , spreading his right arm as much as possible.

However, Luke de Jong, who wanted to make a clearance, was interfered by Varane and headed the ball beyond his intention. The angle was quite tricky, and Cillessen, who stretched his body to the extreme, could not reach the football...

In In the incredible eyes of the Dutch fans in the audience, the football hit the snow-white net. The live director's close-up shot was immediately shown to Varane, and China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave:"The game is in progress. In the 32nd minute, Varane helped France equalize the score!"

"Goooooooooooooooooooal——"

Sky Britannia commentator Andy Gray's iconic drawl echoed throughout the commentary box

"Oh-My-God!"

BBC commentator Lineker was not affected by the fanatical atmosphere at the scene. He exclaimed:"This goal... seems to be an own goal!"

"oh? Yeah? Carragher, who was the guest commentator, raised his eyebrows.

"Seems……"

Varane, who was captured on screen, opened his arms and ran wildly to celebrate the equalizer goal.

As for whether the goal was scored by himself, it no longer matters.

The important thing is that the goal is valid!

"aoaoaooaooaoaooaooaooao——"

At the same time, the French fans at the Luzhniki Stadium went completely crazy, creating a roaring roar.

Luke De Jong, who rubbed the ball into his own net, put his head in his hands, looking annoyed and blaming himself.

Van Carey, who was waiting for a counterattack opportunity outside the penalty area, walked towards Luke De Jong who made a fatal mistake and comforted him.

At the same time, the on-site director also replayed the entire scoring process.

Starting from Pogba's pass, the French players paid attention to their positions, so there was no offside situation. This means that France's goal was not offside in the first place.

The scene was replayed, and there was obvious physical contact between Luke De Jong and Varane. Although Varane had an obvious action of reaching out to the back of his neck, under normal circumstances, he would not be called for a foul because of his actions. It was after the jump, not with the help of the jump, even if Luque de Jong scored an own goal under pressure from Varane.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei changed the topic and exclaimed:"France's equalizing goal was scored by Dutch center Luke de Jong. This... is too demoralizing, right?"

"This... is the first own goal in the history of the World Cup final~"

Commentator Xu Yang shook his head.

Immediately, the broadcast screen showed Luke De Jong who scored an own goal.

What surprised many commentators was that captain Fan Kerry took the initiative Comforting Luke de Jong who scored an own goal, Luke de Jong, who should have been extremely upset, quickly adjusted his mental state, became high-spirited, and prepared for the next game to go beyond the competition again.

Dutch coach Van Baa Steen saw Van Kerry's behavior and was very pleased.

Luke De Jong, who scored an own goal, became more and more motivated and kept encouraging himself to help the team overtake the score again!

"Beep~"

The game restarted, and the Dutch team, which got the kick-off opportunity, patiently organized the attack under the deliberate control of Sneijder and Van Kerry. The

French players who equalized the score seemed to be on fire, strengthening the high pressure and trying to quickly overtake the score.

The Dutch team passed the ball very quickly and kicked the ball very accurately, giving the French players no chance to steal the ball.

A series of runs failed to grab the football. The French players were like deflated balls and began to consciously reduce the running coverage. Save energy for the remainder of the half

"aoaooaoaooaooaoaooaoooo——"

Football came to Van Kerry's feet again, and the Dutch fans, Chinese fans and neutral fans in the audience became crazy again, and the chants quickly spread from one stand to most of the stadium.

The French fans were unhappy with these harsh chants, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who put them at an absolute disadvantage in numbers?

Van Carey faced many French players who were marking him head-on. He smiled and directly passed the ball back to Sneijder in the middle, who then transferred the ball to the right wing of the attack.

The French players moved very fast. As soon as Bergwijn received the football, Lucas Hernandez returned to defend. Bergwijn did not break through after receiving the football. He pushed the ball forward to the right with the arch of his right foot. Right back Hartbauer moved forward at high speed along the right sideline. Left midfielder Griezmann's defensive awareness was slightly poor and he failed to keep up in time. By the time Bergwijn passed the ball, it was already too late to catch up.

Hartbauer made a slight adjustment while running at high speed and passed directly. Lucas Hernandez, who turned to interfere, stretched his foot to block the ball for half a beat, and the football flew towards the center of the penalty area.

Considering that Van Kerry was in excellent condition, the backbone of France's defense in the penalty area was placed on Van Kerry. Luke De Jong, who wanted to make a crime and meritorious service, was very decisive and took advantage of Van Kerry's involvement to speed up and get in front of Umtiti. Heading towards the ball and attacking the goal.

Luke De Jong's shot back to the moon was full of power. Lloris, who gradually moved to the near corner, subconsciously reached out and gave it a lift. Although the part touched was very thin, it was such a gentle lift that the trajectory of the football went up. A few centimeters, it hit the middle of the crossbar and bounced back. Varane, who chose a good position, rushed the ball over the baseline before Van Kerry met the ball and shot back.

"wowoowowowoowoooooo——"

There was a wave of frightening exclamations subconsciously in the area where the French fans gathered. If it were not for captain Lloris's divine help, the Dutch team would have exceeded the score again with a high probability...

Luke de Jong, who had not been able to make up for the mistake, raised his head and screamed in frustration, venting his determination to win. Unhappy with his header being turned away.
