It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 263 The First Battle after Evolution

With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

Netherlands has the ball.

Once again stepping into the World Cup semi-finals, the Orange Army was equally cautious.

After Van Persie kicked the ball out, it was immediately passed back to the Dutch defender.

Charles, Ribery and Benzema were all ready to steal the ball from them at any time.

The Dutch team was naturally aware of this and were very careful with every pass.

Mattison received the ball again, took a look at the situation on the wing, and finally passed the ball to Van Bronckhorst. However, the moment he passed the ball, Charles stood in front of Van Bronckhorst.

At the same time, as the French team's midfield formation shrank, Van Bronckhorst had no choice but to pass the ball back to Heitinga after receiving the ball.

At the same time, after completing an interception, Charles looked back again, and instead of staying where he was, he ran again.

Just as Charles was retreating, Heitinga hesitated for a moment after receiving the ball and passed the ball back to Van Buren again.

Hey, if you move away a little, I'll see how you can defend yourself.

Just when Heitinga was feeling smug and thought he had seen a loophole in France's defense, French players Ribery, Diaby, Benzema and others slowly retreated again under the command of Charles.

Van Buren had just dribbled the ball across the center line when he was unknowingly surrounded by the French team.

It’s broken! I’ve been infected.

Van Buren forced himself to stay calm and tried to find a suitable spot to catch the ball.

However, Charles had already predicted his thoughts. Just when he was about to kick, Charles rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye with his exaggerated explosive power and speed.

Van Buren immediately regretted his move, but it was too late to withdraw his feet.

"Snapped--"

Seeing that the ball was about to be intercepted by Charles, De Zeeuw rushed forward, ready to kick the ball away from under his feet before Charles received the ball.

Charles, who had his back to him, seemed to have a God's vision. Before he could stretch his feet, Charles' ankle shook and the ball was transferred away with a "pop".

After receiving the ball, Ribery didn't hesitate at all. He took advantage of the situation and kicked the ball directly under.

The Dutch defenders hurried back, but apart from them, Benzema, Charles and Malouda shot at the same time and rushed towards the Dutch goal.

Stekelenburg opened his mouth wide and looked up at the ball that was getting closer and closer. In the millisecond, all he could do was to retreat quickly.

Heitinga, Mathijsen and others rode at full speed and finally caught up with Benzema who had already rushed into the penalty area.

Benzema found the landing point of the ball accurately and jumped the ball high. Stekelenburg mistakenly thought that Benzema wanted to shoot, so he dived directly to the left, but the next moment, he regretted it.

Because he saw Benzema jump high under the interference of Mathijsen and head the ball.

"boom--"

Danger!

The originally excited Dutch fans in the stands suddenly lost their voices and watched everything on the field nervously.

Bulaluz and Heitinga rushed towards the goal one after another, and Ster also stood up quickly.

The moment the ball came, everyone had no time to think and subconsciously made a clearance move.

"Snapped."

Ster dived hard at the ball, but the ball was not far away. Malouda, who came in from behind, wanted to make a follow-up shot, but Braruz, whose adrenaline was quickly stimulated, fell to the ground.

Malouda had no choice but to jump over him, and Braluz took advantage of this precious opportunity to support himself with both hands and aim his head at the ball.

"clatter."

Just like that, the ball barely brushed Malouda's feet and rolled out of the baseline.

"What a pity, the ball was cleared. The French team created a counterattack in less than half a minute. It was really commendable."

"Charles first retreated to lure the enemy deeper, then unexpectedly intercepted the ball. Ribery made his decision the moment he received the ball, and his processing speed was very fast."

"A nice overhead kick with a good lead for Benzema to run up."

"It can also be seen from here that in this game, the offensive intentions of both sides were very clear."

There was no time for discussion and the game started again.

Dutch goal kick.

Both Blaugrana and Heitinga stayed not far from the goal, and Benzema stayed in the penalty area.

Charles, Ribery and Malouda all stopped not far from the penalty area.

Ster took a look at the French team's multiple chains and couldn't convince himself to pass the ball directly to Mattison at the top of the penalty area.

After some thought, Ster gently pushed the ball to Heitinga.

At the same time, Braluz quickly moved outwards, and the moment he received the pass, Malouda, Benzema and Ribery retreated again.

Charles didn't go over, but followed Mattison not far away.

Soon, Braluz, who was still hesitant, looked at Malouda who was getting closer and closer, then glanced at Charles, and helplessly kicked the ball.

"call out--"

The ball flew quickly across the entire half court, and Evra, Toulalan, Abidal, Sneijder and Van Persie all rushed towards where the ball landed.

Among the crowd, Evra stood out and headed the ball.

"Snapped--"

The ball was passed back to the midfield again, and Diaby headed the ball while being double-teamed by two Dutch players.

Benzema followed up and unloaded the ball with his chest. The Dutch players had no chance to touch the ball at all. Diaby knocked the ball again.

The ball was passed to Charles surrounded by four Dutch players.

De Zeeuw and Kuyt rushed towards Charles one after another, but Charles was not in a hurry. He pulled the ball back with his right foot, dodged De Zeeuw's attack, and quickly switched his supporting foot, pushing the ball outwards with the outside of his right foot.

The two people in front of him reacted.

Charles wanted to pass the ball to Diaby.

At the moment their center of gravity changed, Charles supported himself with his right foot, turned his back to the goal, and poked the ball with the tip of his left foot, like performing magic.

"Snapped."

After Ribery received the ball, De Zeeuw immediately changed direction, but the ball was no longer under his feet, but passed back to Diaby.

"There was something different about the French team in this game. Although the players were still the same and their coordination was very smooth, it gave people a refreshing feeling."

"Yes, Ciel gave people a different feeling in this game. His control over the rhythm of the game is different now, but I can't tell what's different at the moment."

On the field, the ball was quickly passed back to Gallas' feet.

Gallas took a look at Charles' gesture and saw that it meant to slow down the pace, so he passed the ball back to Abidal with the inside of his foot.

Van Persie took a big step and blocked Abidal not far away, and Charles also retreated from his original position.

Abidal also took his time to keep the ball at his feet, and just when Van Persie's patience was about to run out, Abidal passed the ball to Toulalan.

Van Persie and Sneijder quickly turned around and tried to stand in front of Turan.

However, just as they were about to "close the door", Turalan was very skilled and bold, and the ball went straight through the gap between the two of them.

Van Bommel and De Zeeuw rushed towards Charles, but this time, their plan failed again.

Charles' ankle twitched, and the ball was once again diverted by him. Diaby advanced with the ball, and just as he was about to approach De Zeeuw, he quickly sent the ball forward with the outside of his right foot.

"Snapped--"

Van Bron gritted his teeth and rushed towards Charles again.

In his eyes, he saw Charles dribbling the ball with his right foot. Van Buren was highly concentrated and fully immersed in it, moving with the ball.

But what he didn't expect was that this time Charles did not choose to dribble past the opponent, nor did he choose to pass the ball back, but instead used the outside of his left foot to pass the ball to the front point.

Benzema also failed to react and jumped a step too late, and the ball was cleared by Heitinga.

Mattison, who was not far away, kicked the ball again and it went straight across the entire half court.

Van Persie successfully made an offside move, and Gallas and Abidal could only grit their teeth and chase back.

The originally nervous Dutch fans were replaced by French fans this time.

The ball is round, especially when the two sides are evenly matched!

Lori, who was originally guarding in front of the goal, quickly attacked and successfully grabbed the ball in his arms before Van Persie.

Van Persie sighed and walked back, and at the same time, Lori threw the ball to Gallas.

Gallas stopped the ball smoothly and finally chose to pass the ball to Turan.

La Langlang glanced at Van Persie beside him, and finally chose to pass the ball long to Malouda.

But this time, the Dutch team replicated what the French team had just done, with Van Bommel rushing up from behind in an instant.

Malouda just realized that something was wrong and before he could do anything, Van Bommel quickly pushed the ball forward from behind.

"Snapped--"

After passing Malouda, Van Bommel received the pass from himself a second ago and quickly advanced with the ball.

Van Persie did not hesitate but cooperated with Van Bommel's movements.

Realizing their mistake, Toulalan, Diaby and four defenders hurried back to defense. To make up for his mistake, Toulalan even wanted to steal the ball.

Just as he stretched out his foot, Van Bommel poked the ball with the tip of his left foot.

The ball went straight through his crotch, but Van Persie, who was not far away, didn't make any adjustments and just kicked the ball.

"call out--"

Everyone turned around quickly. Lori, who had already returned to the small penalty area, bent down and looked at the ball with full concentration, without even making any other movements.

The moment the ball flew over, he opened his arms and held it quietly in his arms.

"Be careful, you're making me mad. Is this how you treat your only chance in life?"

Angry Lori yelled out directly.

Tulan immediately admitted his mistake.

"My my, I will never do this again."

Hearing this, Lori calmed down. Charles, who had been chasing all the way back, saw that nothing was wrong, so he simply patted Tularan on the shoulder and said nothing.

"It was a real back-and-forth game. Not long ago, France threatened the Dutch goal twice, and the next moment, France's goal was threatened by the Dutch team."

"These two attacks looked simple to Lowry, but in fact, they were not easy at all."

"An excellent goalkeeper can save such a ball by relying on his excellent positioning, rather than making a great save in front of the goal every time."

"It's not that the stronger team will necessarily dominate the game, especially when the two teams are equally strong, the outcome of the game will be even more confusing."

"Just like in previous World Cups, there were some rules, but in this World Cup, all five rules were broken."

"The first of these laws is 'Pailey's Crow's Mouth'."

"In this World Cup, Pele still maintains his record of 'crow's mouth', with Italy, England and Brazil all becoming victims of his mouth."

"But after Germany beat Argentina 4-0, Pele's bad luck was broken for the first time, because Pele said before the game that he was optimistic about Germany and thought Argentina had no chance."

"Now, this game can also be seen as a good opportunity to verify whether this law has been completely broken, because before the game, Pele was also optimistic about France and the Netherlands had no chance."

"Because the prediction about Argentina can be regarded as a conflict between him and Maradona, so even if I am not optimistic about Argentina, this game is a little different."

"There is another rule, that is, since Brazil won two consecutive championships in 1958 and 1962, the World Cup championship has been won by American teams and European teams in turn."

"If this World Cup champion is an American team, then the next World Cup champion will definitely be a European team."

"Just like in 1986 Argentina was the champion, in 1990 it was Italy, in 1994 it was Brazil, in 1998 it was France again, in 2002 it was Brazil, in 2006 it was Italy."

"This year is different. The champion is destined to be a European team. It depends on who breaks this rule first."

Lori threw the ball to Sagna, and the Dutch players wanted to replicate the move, all ready to press forward.

At this moment, Charles, who had just returned to the center line, suddenly raised his hand and asked.

Sagna understood what he meant and quickly pushed the ball forward. After passing Diaby, the ball went straight to Charles.

De Zeeuw and Charles rushed towards the ball at the same time. During the sprint, De Zeeuw did not forget to put his hands in front of Charles, trying to interfere with him and affect his speed.

He knew that Charles was very fast, but what he didn't know was that now Charles was not only fast, but also tall and hard!
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Charles did the same and knocked him over.

The defenseless De Zeeuw spun in a circle on the spot and fell to the ground before he could figure out what was happening. Charles didn't even stagger and kept the ball steadily under his feet.

"Get up, idiot!"

Heitinga and Mathijsen roared at the same time.

De Zeeuw quickly got up and joined Van Bommel and Sneijder in the siege of Charr.

Seeing that Charles was getting closer and closer to the penalty area, Mattison had no choice but to take risks and carefully prepare to get close to him.

Mattison: I have watched your game highlights many times, and I will never be easily defeated by you!

Ciel: Really? Then take a look at this.

Soon, Mattison began to panic.

Because this time, Charles's pace became very fast, but his steps were very small.

Mattison could only change his original defensive plan. He retreated while looking back at Charles's movements.

Heitinga also came over, but also didn't dare to get too close.

Charles consciously lowered his center of gravity and kept the ball tightly between his feet.

Before they could make a choice, Charles told them the answer.

Charles pushed the ball to the right with the inside of his left foot and moved sideways quickly. Mattijsen immediately grabbed Charles' clothes and De Zeeuw also rushed up from behind.

They are already very fast, but no matter how fast the ships of the old era are, they cannot catch up with the trains of the new era.

They didn't blink, afraid to miss any movement of Ciel.

Charles pushed the ball to the right again with the outside of his right foot. In a dazzled moment, he leaned to the left and swung his arms. Without looking in the direction of the goal, he passed his left foot behind his right leg and poked the ball.

"Snapped--"

Ster quickly fell to the ground and dodged sideways, but it was too late.

The emperor ordered me to carry out the sword and I will take Loulan in one night!
