Jorge Dillon, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly asked Qin Lin, who was also standing on the sidelines.

Qin Lin shook his head: "No, our physical fitness cannot sustain another thirty minutes of overtime."

"Actually, it's okay to play overtime..." Dillon said, "If you are planning to play overtime, there are corresponding methods. Although playing overtime will be very painful, and there is indeed a possibility of collapse midway, but it is not

Said it was completely impossible to play. After Hu equalized the score, I was a little hesitant... If we are going to play overtime, then I should let the players slow down and recover their strength now. I can see that the Dutch don't mind either.

It’s going to be overtime. So if we slow down the tempo, there’s a good chance they’re going to go with the flow…but.”

Dillon paused for a moment before continuing:

"It was the boys who helped me make up my mind - obviously the players didn't want to go into overtime 1:1, they wanted to beat the Dutch team in regular time. As their head coach, I also support their ideas. Whatever it is.

From an emotional or rational point of view, the best solution is to try to take advantage of the momentum of the equalizer and win the game."

Qin Lin nodded, he could understand it completely.

But what Dillon said next surprised him.

"But I may have made a bad decision," Dillon said.

Qin Lin looked at him in surprise.

"Maybe it is right to drag the game into overtime. Maybe our physical fitness can really last until the penalty shootout? Maybe replacing Ou will cause our defense to have problems at critical moments... Maybe the team

The fighting spirit we are showing now is just our last afterglow, an illusion. It is impossible for us to defeat the Netherlands in regular time..." Dillon said several possible scenarios in one breath.

"Maybe we will win." Qin Lin interrupted Dilong.

Dillon smiled at his consolation, but continued: "If we lose this game, my substitution will definitely be criticized fiercely after the game. But this is football, there is no foolproof strategy. What decision to make,

Just accept the consequences, regardless of victory or defeat."

His expression was very calm, far less intense than the competition showed.

After Guo Junfu ran onto the field, he conveyed the latest instructions from the head coach to all the players on the team.

He shouted and repeated: "The old man said we should play as we want!"

In fact, he doesn't need to convey it. Everyone can understand the head coach's thoughts as long as they see this substitution.

Replace a defensive midfielder with an attacking midfielder.

When there are a few minutes left in the game and it enters stoppage time, it is a life-threatening situation!

But no player frowned and looked worried.

Fight for your life, fight for your life!

Because that’s exactly what we think!

It was also a draw. Four years ago we chose to take a step back and feel complacent about holding on to a draw.

Now I don’t know if it’s a coincidence of fate, but we’ve encountered almost the same situation again.

We equalized towards the end of the game.

Are we going to regret today's decision for another four years?

No, this time we must pursue victory with dignity!

This is an unspoken consensus, a mutual decision they made unanimously after Hu Lai equalized the score.

Dutch goalkeeper Toné Schulmann placed the ball on the line of the small penalty area, but fell into chaos.

In the past, when the Dutch team was playing in the midfield, they hoped that the Chinese team players would come up to press them, draw them out, and then wait for an opportunity to sneak attack.

But now after they fell for a lap, the ball was intercepted by the Chinese team and almost lost the ball...

This is a bit embarrassing.

Should we continue to play in the midfield and backcourt?

Or just drive to the frontcourt with a big kick and simply and roughly hit the football to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area?

Finally, looking at the Chinese team players still in his own half, he chose to pass the football forward.

This made Maxi Carey, who dropped back to meet him, waved his hand a little dissatisfied.

But he immediately turned around and ran up, but he couldn't help but shake his head as he ran, feeling that Schulman had made a stupid choice.

You can't just blindly drive the football forward because you are afraid of the Chinese team's players pressing forward. That is just giving the ball back to the Chinese team.

In the end the pressure will only come back to the Dutch team.

Sure enough, as soon as he came up, the Dutch team lost the ball under the Chinese team's crazy pressing.

So he had to turn around and run back to participate in defense.

But this time he was not so active, because he was indeed quite tired...

Sprinting back and forth like this is a bit overwhelming for a thirty-five-year-old veteran.

Fortunately, he didn't rush back in one breath, because when he slowed down and walked back, the Chinese team's offensive ended.

This time they couldn't even form a shot.

During a quick counterattack, they themselves made a passing error and passed the ball out of bounds.

The Dutch team wins the ball.

Kyrie shouted to his teammates: "Don't panic! Just keep playing like you did before!"

At the same time, he took the initiative to approach the right back William Kolarenz who took the throw-in and signaled the opponent to throw the football over.

Although there was Zhang Qinghuan behind him.

Kolarentz complied anyway.

He threw the football to Kyrie.

He believed that Kaili always had a way.

In this World Cup, from the qualifying round to the main match, Carey has told everyone with his actual actions that although he is thirty-five years old and has lost part of his speed, his technical advantages are still obvious.

Facing the incoming ball and Zhang Qinghuan's collision behind him, Kaili directly threw the football behind him!

The football passed over both of their heads.

Carey turned around quickly.

But he wasn't going to catch the ball, he was running.

The ball has been passed to his teammates.

As for the position of his teammates, he observed it before catching the ball.

While throwing Zhang Qinghuan away and running forward, Kaili raised his hand to signal his teammates to pass the ball.

Although Kyrie has extremely high ball-handling skills, his teammates may not be the same.

Especially defensive midfielder Van der Stern.

When the football was passed to him by Kaili, Xia Xiaoyu and Guo Junfu rushed up from two directions to double-team him.

Under the pressure of two people, Van der Stern did not pass the football back to Carey immediately.

Instead, he waited a moment.

Maybe he wanted to wait for the two people to get closer to him and expose more of the space behind them...

But he underestimated the determination of the Chinese players to advance.

As he waited, Xia Xiaoyu rushed forward.

Vanderstern quickly turned around and tried to protect the football.

But he changed from facing the direction of attack to facing away from the direction of attack...

Just when Xia Xiaoyu was entangled with Vander Stern, Guo Junfu rushed up from the side and poked his ball away with his foot!

Van der Stern reacted quickly enough. After the ball was knocked away, he quickly cut across and used his body to block Guo Junfu behind him.

Although he successfully stopped Guo Junfu, Xia Xiaoyu on the other side found an opportunity!

"The Chinese team steals the ball! Well done! The Chinese team attacks again!"

Xia Xiaoyu took control of the ball and passed it to Zhang Qinghuan.

Zhang Qinghuan kept passing the ball to Chen Xingyi who was penetrating forward.

This time Chen Xingyi did not pass the ball from the wing to his teammates, but chose to do it himself - using fixed routines every time is easy for defensive players to guess, and the offense needs to change.

He suddenly cut inside when Kolarenz was guarding him.

Seeing this, Zhou Zijing immediately pulled away to the wing and helped pull away the Dutch center back Dean Luck.

Now, there was a gap in front of Chen Xingyi where he could shoot!

After taking two horizontal steps with the ball, he took a shot!
