Chapter 2292: Chapter 584: Bloodstained Brick

"Kuyt is really damn annoying, Huang Kaiwen must have gained experience playing with Liverpool, just to make people sick."

"You can’t deny, the importance of Kuyt under Huang Kaiwen is unbelievably strong. If you can shut down Ronaldo, half of Portugal’s attacking power is neutralized, but Ronaldo is still formidable, he can score in this kind of situation."

"The main issue is the Dutch defenders are too weak. If you switch to more reliable defenders, with Huang Kaiwen’s fierce tactics today, Ronaldo shouldn’t be able to score."

"No doubt, even with three players defending Ronaldo, he still found a way to score, it’s completely down to the players’ lack of skill."

"If Terry and Ashley Cole were here, Portugal would be in serious trouble today. Big games are all about defense, and Master Ka’s defensive line is really reassuring."

On the field, the Netherlands team was once again put on the defensive.

National team matches don’t have the same level of cohesion and chemistry as clubs.

Instead, it allowed players like Quaresma, who prefer solo tactics, to perform better.

In this segment, his performance was significantly better than Nani’s.

The Netherlands team could only struggle to support under the bombardment from him and Ronaldo, and Huntelaar remaining on the field also returned to defend in his own half.

Only Luke De Jong, who just came on, stayed at the front to counterattack.

The fourth official on the sidelines had raised the extra-time board, showing only three minutes.

Huang Kaiwen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to shout: "Hold on, stay strong!!!"

Football is often a battle of wills, merely talking about will is not enough for thugs, but Greece in 2004 can’t be called strong.

This fully demonstrates that with a certain strengthening of skills, willpower can play a huge role.

Boulahrouz was almost defending Ronaldo with all his might, no longer caring whether he would get penalized, using both hands and feet in defense.

Ronaldo tapped with his right foot and forcibly cut inside.

Even after playing 90-plus minutes, his explosiveness was still terrifying.

Strootman immediately moved over to cover, Ronaldo came to a sudden stop and immediately struck the ball.

Heitinga, who hadn’t shown much performance, finally stepped up, turning his body to block Ronaldo’s long shot.

Players from both sides almost all rushed to the ball’s landing point. ℯ

Nigel De Jong saw he was too slow, realizing he couldn’t get there, decisively slid in and kicked the ball toward the sideline.

Boulahrouz also slid in, keeping the ball in bounds.

As Heitinga went to take the ball, Ronaldo had already blocked his position, making it impossible to turn and handle the ball.

During his time at Real Madrid, Ronaldo’s increase in muscle caused a decrease in flexibility, not as agile as during his Manchester United days, but his confrontation ability was extraordinarily strong—ordinary defenders couldn’t handle him.

The two tangled, causing Heitinga to lose control of the ball.

Immediately, Ronaldo burst up and took the ball.

Heitinga could only follow behind.

The two raced towards the goal line, Ronaldo already ahead by more than a body length.

Just as they were reaching the goal line, Ronaldo twisted his body in one move and crossed with a backheel, sending the ball toward the middle.

Bam——

"Stekelenburg!!!"

"This single punch was crucial, Postiga’s ability to snatch a point is still lacking. Ronaldo’s pass was perfect, if Huntelaar or van Persie from the Netherlands team were here, this ball would have been in."

Strootman didn’t expect such a gift from the heavens.

But just as he was judging the ball’s landing point, Mourinho had already surged forward.

He quickly jumped up and stopped the ball with his chest.

Under harassment from the opponent, he really couldn’t dribble away.

"Give it to me!"

Hearing Kuyt’s voice, Strootman decisively made a straight pass.

Kuyt took the ball, first rushing toward the left wing.

Portuguese players crazily chased back.

The outcome of this attack was extremely crucial.

Fans from both sides were even too tense to breathe.

Kuyt displayed excellent breakthrough ability on the wing, worthy of being a decathlon player, scoring in his forward position while also being stellar in defense.

He truly lacked any noticeable weaknesses.

By this time, Mourinho and Mereiles had already caught up in the backfield, making it impossible for Kuyt to continue advancing with the ball, but as soon as he stopped, he used his left foot to deliver a beautiful cross.

The ball traced a beautiful arc.

It spun through the air inside Kharkiv Metalist Stadium.

The whole world’s attention was captured by this pass.

Players from both teams raised their heads to look at the sky.

Snap,

The ball dropped into the penalty area.

Luke De Jong twisted his body and extended his foot, making a volley in front of Carvalho, the ball bounced from the ground and fiercely drilled into the net past Patricio.

Whistle,

Whistle,

Whistle——

The world erupted!

"Goal!!!"

"GoalGoalGoal!"

"Luke De Jong scored a goal worth its weight in gold."

"Kuyt, heavily utilized by Kevin, delivered the best assist of his career."

"With two wins and one draw, the Netherlands team advances to the quarter-finals, undefeated as the top of their group, this is the transformation Kevin brought to the Netherlands team."

"From internal and external distress to unity and cooperation, Kevin demonstrates such astonishing leadership. It’s said that after losing to France, their dressing room had a fight, if they had found Kevin earlier, the outcome would be different now."

Damn!!!

Last-minute victory!!!

Huang Kaiwen also showed his passionate side.

As the ball flew into the net, he turned and crazily charged toward the corner flag area.

Even wearing leather shoes, he still demonstrated the limits of human speed.

In almost an instant, he rushed to the corner flag area, performing a signature airborne backflip and victorious arm raise.

The young coach’s passion fully ignited the orange sea.

With one Dutch player after another rushing to their own corner flag area.

Huang Kaiwen was lifted onto Huntelaar’s shoulders.

In front of the television, Bolt’s expression was serious, watching Huang Kaiwen raise one finger.
