During the halftime break, Lippi praised the team's performance in the first half and asked them to continue to perform like this. He should concentrate on his defense and not relax for a second. When counterattacking, he should be determined and decisive.

Of course, this requires a lot of physical fitness for the players. The team's physiotherapists also seized time to massage the players during the halftime break, relaxing their muscles and reducing their fatigue.

"...There are still forty-five minutes. Put aside all distractions and don't think about what will happen in the future. Play these forty-five minutes first. As long as the game is not over, the battle will not end." Lippi said to the Chinese players before playing.

On the other side, Van Gaal was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half. He believed that the team was too proud after scoring the goal and was not focused enough, so he was scored by the Chinese team.

"It's simply a shame! That goal was not because they played well, but because you played so badly!" Van Gaal yelled.

Every Dutch player was scolded by him so much that he couldn't raise his head.

"You can't do this again in the second half! Otherwise you will be a laughing stock!"

※※※

Before the second half, the Netherlands team took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Van Gaal replaced defender Indy with young player Memphis Depp. The young Depp is only 20 years old this year and is a talented attacker emerging in the Dutch league. Van Gaal obviously hopes to use this substitution to strengthen the Dutch team's offensive quality.

The Dutch team really showed their belief in winning after being changed sides by the match in the second half.

They took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to attack the Chinese team's goal.

At the front of the penalty area, Sneider made a straight pass, and Van Persie entered the penalty area diagonally, preparing to catch the ball and shoot.

However, Guo Nu started a step ahead of him and got stuck in front of him. In desperation, Van Persie exerted force, pushed Guo Nu to the ground, and then grabbed the football.

However, at this time the referee's whistle also sounded. Although Van Persie still completed the shooting, even the goal was invalid at this time, let alone Sun Pan did not give the Dutch team any chance to be lucky. He blocked Van Persie's shot.

"Van Persie pushed someone for a foul, and the referee made a correct penalty..." He Ping said.

Zheng Zhi and Yang Muge found the referee, hoping that he could show Van Persie a yellow card, because Van Persie still had the action of playing football after whistle. According to FIFA rules, no player is allowed to touch the ball again, and he has to give the card when touching the ball.

However, the rules are dead, and the person who masters the rules is alive, so whether it is necessary to give cards depends on what the referee who enforced the law at that time thinks. If he thinks there is no need to give cards, he can also not give cards.

This time, the referee on duty, Haymondi from Algeria chose not to give the card.

No matter how Zheng Zhi and Yang Muge persuaded him, Haymondi did not take out the cards.

However, Van Persie did not escape the punishment of the yellow card in the end. Two minutes later, the Dutch team got an out-of-bounds ball on the right side. Robben threw the ball towards the bottom line, and Van Persie inserted the ball forward to catch the ball. Guo Nu touched it again, and the two had physical contact. Then Van Persie's arm raised back and hit Guo Nu in the face. Guo Nu immediately covered his face and fell to the ground.

Then the whistle of referee Haymondi rang.

"Van Persie has committed a foul again! This time it was in a fight with Guo Nu... His arm was raised and reached Guo Nu's face. This was an extra action, and it was a 100% foul..."

This time, the Chinese team players didn't need to remind me again. The referee had taken out the yellow card from his pocket. He committed two consecutive fouls in a short period of time. The referee Haymondi felt it was necessary to use the yellow card to warn the captain of the Dutch team to control his emotions and not be so irritable.

In addition, Van Persie fouled the same person twice in a row. If he doesn't play cards, the emotions of Chinese players will definitely not be suppressed. At that time, both sides will be angry and the scene will be out of control...

"Van Persie was convicted of a foul and received a yellow card. In this way, he will miss the next game against Chile... This is not good news." The Dutch narrator complained. "Van Persie should control his temper..."

"Van Persie was finally warned by a yellow card after two consecutive fouls. After the second half, the Dutch team's offense was indeed very fierce, but at the same time, it can be seen that their emotions were a little impatient. I think this should be a good thing for the Chinese team..." He Ping said.

"Yes, the Dutch team is indeed a little anxious in the second half. We just need to be patient now. Don't be anxious. The draw is completely acceptable..." Gong Lei also said. He is worried that after Zhou Yi is not on the court, Chinese players will make mistakes in some offensive and defensive rhythms. They will not accelerate when it should be accelerated, and they will slow down but cannot slow down, and then let the opponent seize the opportunity.

As the head coach of the Chinese team, Lippi also ran to the sidelines and used gestures to remind his players that they should stay calm at this time and not be scared by the Dutch team's offensive at the beginning of the second half.

※※※

Next, when the Chinese team got the ball in the backcourt, the Dutch team pressed in the frontcourt, which required Chinese players to handle the ball cleanly and decisively. In this regard, Chinese players performed well.

Especially Yang Muge and Zheng Zhi.

With Zhou Yi not present, the two of them each made up for some of Zhou Yi's work.

How they handle the ball determines the rhythm of the Chinese team.

They can not only defend, but also organize attacks.

Zheng Zhi has always been the core of the organization in Hengyuan, Guangzhou. When Yang Muge played football in the National Olympic Team, Zhou Yi had not yet joined the National Olympic Team, so he shouldered the important task of organizing the offense of the National Olympic Team.

In the 50th minute, Yang Muge sent out a long diagonal pass. After He Ying received the ball from the left, he shot with a strong shot.

The football was saved by Dutch goalkeeper Cyrison.

Although there was no goal in this offense, I told the Netherlands that I should not think that the Chinese team can be pinched with soft persimmons at will. They also have the opportunity to threaten your goal while defending.

This makes the Dutch team always have to think twice when attacking again, and think about whether the gap behind them will be used by the Chinese team after they attack with all their strength.

The score is now 1:1. For the Chinese team, this is a completely acceptable score. They can play the next game with a relatively relaxed attitude.

But the Netherlands team is not good. They want to win. They want to win two consecutive games and then get the right to qualify in the group in advance. How could they accept a draw with the Chinese team?

They can only continue to put pressure on the Chinese team's goal.

In fifty-eight minutes, they really got a great opportunity!

At that time, Depe dribbled the ball on the left to launch an attack. He changed the line against Zhang Linpeng's defense and wanted to cut inside and break through. Wu Lei, who was back in defense, rushed over and poked the ball out. But Depe did not give up and immediately counterattacked on the spot. He collided with Wu Lei. The football rolled to the side and was taken away by Sneijder.

Next, Sneider controlled the ball for a little while, passed the football to Depp, and stepped forward along the sideline.

Depp did not pass the football to Sneijder, but to Van Persie in the penalty area!

Van Persie received the football behind central defenders Feng Xiaoting and Guo Nu!

"Is this ball... not offside?!" He Ping did not hear the referee's whistle and asked such a question.

At that time, many people thought Van Persie was offside.

Feng Xiaoting even stood there and raised his arms, signaling Van Persie to offside.

But Sun Pan decisively abandoned the goal and ignored whether Van Persie was offside.

Van Persie just received the ball and turned around and shot immediately!

The football he shot hit Sun Pan's crotch, and the broken line popped out of the bottom line!

"Sun Pan!! He made a key save!! He saved the Chinese team's goal!" He Ping exclaimed.

The referee blew a whistle and pointed at the corner flag area, signaling the Dutch team to serve a corner kick.

At this time, through TV replay, everyone saw that at the moment when Depp passed the ball, the Chinese team's left-back Rong Hao dragged the back at the end, so Van Persie was not offside...

"It's so dangerous..." Gong Lei felt scared. "If the offside ideas are not unified, such problems are likely to arise. Fortunately, Sun Pan reacts quickly and calmly enough!"

Sun Pan, who had completed a key save, jumped up from the ground and slapped hard at his teammates, "Concentrate!! Focus!"

He did not blame Rong Hao for the failure to cause offside, nor did he blame Feng Xiaoting for raising his hand but not returning to defense.

He even forgot to use this key save to show off.
Chapter completed!
