In the 42nd minute of the focus match between the Netherlands and Germany in Group C of the 2018 Ross World Cup, the scoreboard showed a score of 0:2, with the Netherlands leading the defending champion Germany.

Loew, who should have felt desperate, suddenly became ecstatic. The on-site director keenly captured this scene. Taking advantage of the stalemate of the game, he switched the camera. China Channel 5 commentator He Wei was a little puzzled:"This……"

Before he finished speaking, he noticed the real-time score of another game in the same group that appeared in the lower left corner of the TV screen equipped with the commentary box.

1:2!

South Korea scored two goals in a row at the end of the first half to take the lead.

Howe changed the topic:"No wonder Loew is so excited. If the game ends according to the current score, the losing Germany can definitely beat Mexico with the goal difference advantage and qualify for this World Cup as the second place in the group. Top 16!"

The German fans in the audience were obviously paying attention to the game in another stadium. At almost the same moment, they cooperated with the Dutch fans, Chinese fans and neutral fans to create a huge roar, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

"aooaoaoaooaoaooaooooooo——"

As long as Mexico loses with the current score, even if it concedes one more goal, it won't be a problem. The -2 goal difference will ensure that Germany will advance to the top 16 by beating Mexico, which has a -3 goal difference!

Countless German fans thanked the old South Korea team that was destined to be eliminated at this moment. They cried with joy and used their free time to post updates on social platforms to express their gratitude.

The German players on the court were a little confused and puzzled.

Our team is two goals behind, yet we are still so happy. Is it humane? ? ?

It wasn't until a dead ball appeared that the German players on the field suddenly realized something.

Hold the grass!

So delicious!

This is the most exciting moment they have felt since falling behind by two goals!

According to the homework done by the coaching staff before the game, they also understand that there is a possibility even if they lose.

Judging from the current two-goal deficit, it must mean that Mexico is lagging behind South Korea!

If the current score continues until the end of the game, the team that advances will still be Germany!

Although it would be very shameless to advance to the top 16 in this way, but... can face be used as food?

As long as you can advance, it doesn't matter if you are embarrassed.

After all, there is no shame in being eliminated in the group stage, and the aftermath of elimination is something that no player can accept now.

They missed the knockout rounds for the first time in 80 years. Such a shameful record will have an indelible impact on their future careers.

The German players on the field knew that they could still advance if the game ended in the current situation. They were in a good mood, the gloom was gone, and they were full of longing for the future.

I feel so happy!

The changes in the expressions of the German players were captured by the live broadcast. China Channel 5 commentator He Wei joked:"The pursuit of the German players now is really getting lower and lower. It is still acceptable to be two goals behind."……"

"There is no other way. The German players participating in this World Cup do not have the top shooters like Klose in the past. They rely on the system to score goals. Commentator Xu Yang laughed and said:"

The Dutch team has top players on both ends of the offense and defense, especially Van Carey on the offensive end who is invincible on his own. In order to limit Van Carey, heavy troops must be deployed on the defensive end. The consequence is a lack of effective support on the offensive end." , if you can advance at 0:2, you will naturally enjoy the results."

※※※

Time passed by second by second, and it came to the end of the first half in a blink of an eye. There were still more than ten seconds left before the end of the 45 minutes of regular time. The fourth official was waiting to lift up the electronic sign indicating one minute of injury time..

German player Werner received a pass from Toni Kroos and gave it to Muller, who advanced into the right rib of the penalty area. Van Dijk fell to the ground and tackled while retreating, leaving the football in place.

The Dutch team switched from defense to offense. Van Carey, who advanced to attack the left, repeated his old tricks. He started to the front left, attracted the defensive attention of Kimmich and Süle, and then suddenly stopped and turned back.

Sneijder, who received the football, did not pass the ball to Van Kerry, but kicked it to Wijnaldum in the middle.

Toni Kroos and Goretzka, who switched from offense to defense, both consciously cut off the connection between Van Kerry and Sneijder. Sneijder passed the ball to Wijnaldum, which caused the failure of Germany's defensive strategy.

Wijnaldum took the ball and turned around in one go, looking at the direction of Van Carey's running and sending a very comfortable through ball.

Kimmich and Süle, who were deceived by Van Carey's movement, stopped and changed directions, cooperating with Hummels to defend Van Carey.

At the same time, goalkeeper Neuer suddenly realized something when he saw Van Kerry meet the ball.

The German fans behind the goal reacted even more fiercely, shouting at Neuer:"Captain, come back to the goal!"

Neuer, who doesn't like being taught how to do things by others, instinctively wanted to refuse, but thought of Van Kerry's stubbornness. With abnormal vision and footwork, he retreated reluctantly.

Hummels is absolutely responsible for Van Kerry's long-range lob. His keeping a safe distance gave Van Kerry enough time to observe and take the lob. This time he can't make the same mistake. Anyway, there are still people behind him. Süle and his teammates made up the defense and did not panic at all.

Khedira fell to the ground and tackled the ball while moving and did not touch the football. Van Kerry moved the football passed by Wijnaldum to the right front, that is, dribbling the ball from the center to the right.

Babel, who was not slow, ran according to the game tactics formulated before the game, and accelerated towards the center when Van Carey dribbled the ball to the right.

Hummels pounced on Van Kerry, followed closely by Süle. Kimmich was wary of Babel's movement and kept a relatively safe distance.

Kimmich's defensive strategy is very comprehensive, but Babel's movement is not rigid. He pulls to the left, forcing Kimmich to make a choice.

After some quick thinking, Kimmich finally decided to keep a distance from Süle and be prepared to guard against Kerry.

Van Kerry noticed that Hummels was approaching intentionally, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he pushed the football forward to the right with the outside instep of his right foot.

Seeing this, Hummels subconsciously scolded Fan Kerry:"Hold the grass! You little bastard, you don't have martial ethics!"

Fan Kerry chased the football out at full speed. Hummels and Süle both subconsciously defended the left side of their own side. Lu pounced, preparing to complete the closing defense.

Kimmich knew that the two central defenders were not very fast, and was worried that Van Kerry would overtake from the outside. He did not care about Babel's movement at the far end, and consciously moved towards Süle.

Van Carey, running at full speed, was like an orange supercar accelerating to the extreme, passing through the middle.

At this moment, with a wide field of vision, he noticed that Kimmich, Süle and Hummels were positioned a bit far away from teammate Babel. With a thought in his mind, he adjusted his steps while approaching the football at high speed.

Neuer retreated to the goal, clearing the way for Van Carey's choice.

He swung his right foot on the right side of the attack just after crossing the line, and kicked the arch of his right foot hard towards the middle of the football. He growled in his heart:"A fatal pass!"

The football was close to the ground and crossed most of the way from the right side of the Dutch team's attack. A pitch, rolling towards the attacking left rib at high speed

"Oops!"

Kimmich, who was paying full attention to Van Carey, suddenly realized something.

Standing in the home team coach's command area, Loew's pupils shrank suddenly, and strong uneasiness quickly swept through his body.

Babel, who was not slow, hit Van Carey just right. He slashed forward in a wide area, facing the goalkeeper Neuer.

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, raised his voice an octave higher:"Single sword!!"

"aoaooaooaoaooaooooooo——"

The German goal in the auditorium was in despair. Dutch fans, Chinese fans and neutral fans cheered and cheered for Babel.

Babel became more and more demonic as he got older. Facing Neuer who rushed to the penalty area, he made a very smart choice. He accelerated and changed directions before shooting into the empty goal.

"The ball went in!"

The football crossed the goal line, and the commentator Howie shouted unabated:"Before the end of the first half, Babel scored another victory in injury time. The Netherlands led Germany 3:0. If the game ends with the current score, At halftime, Loew's team will set a shameful record! For the first time in 60 years, three goals were conceded in the first half of an official game!"
