The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Tuesday, a little late, I hope readers don’t pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

After talking about the starting list of the Netherlands for this game, let us now look at the lineup of Italy.

Trapattoni deserves to be the top coach who was once hailed as the "gold medal coach" by the fans. He easily took out a starting lineup that is extremely suitable for defensive counterattacks.Buffon, Grosso, Cannavaro, Nesta, Zambrotta, Deco, De Rossi, Pirlo, Camoranesi, Vieri and Cassano, this is Italy The starting 11 of the game.

Obviously, Trapattoni believes that even in such an international competition, the Dutch will not abandon their offensive traditions, intending to emulate the old Maldini and use Italy's best defensive counterattack to defeat the opponent.After all, the idea of ​​attacking football in the Netherlands is too deep in the hearts of the people, and any head coach who wants to change this style will not end well.

In Zhuang Mingge's previous life, this phenomenon did not begin to change until the death of Michels, the godfather of Dutch football.Otherwise, Van Basten's employment strategy and tactical play will also be strongly criticized by the Dutch media.

However, what Trapattoni did not expect was that Advocaat would put on such a starting lineup in this game and play so conservatively, which was beyond his expectations.

"Damn it, Karin, Rebecca, I think it's better for us to make more preparations for this game. Otherwise, I think we'll have to fall asleep in the box before the game is over." When seeing the head coaches of the two teams choose to play defensive counterattacks in the game, without waiting for the game to start, Zhuang Mingge had already predicted how boring the game would be, "It's better to let someone do it." A deck of UNO cards, we can have a little fun if the game is too boring."

Hearing what Zhuang Minge said, Karin and Rebecca covered their mouths and laughed.They have lived together for many years, and now they have children, of course they know what Zhuang Mingge is thinking, they just don't want to waste time watching a game where both sides are desperately defending.

If Mourinho is here, then he will definitely complain about his boss: Didn't you come to the European Cup to observe the players up close?How could you deliberately slip away because the game was boring!

Sure enough, as Zhuang Minge expected, when the referee Frisk announced the start of the game, the players on both sides unanimously chose a shrinking formation and tightened the fence, preparing to lure the opponent to attack, so that they would have more counterattack space.

Everyone, including Zhuang Mingge, was speechless about this situation.Italy doesn't have the ball to play defensively and counterattack, but now the ball is passing under the feet of you Dutchmen. Edvocaat, who do you want your group of players to counterattack?

Although it is said that Italy still has a high-position pressing technique that can deal with the Dutch backcourt, it also depends on the target.For a team like the Netherlands, where almost all the players on the field are extremely skilled at their feet, if Italy really presses them in the frontcourt, it will simply be looking for a dead end.

Seeing that the Italian players didn’t react too much to their backcourt, and the frontcourt was not very active. Only when the ball entered the area 30 meters away from the goal would they cheer up and improve their defensive strength. The Dutch players On the contrary, he was a little impatient, and began to gradually push the front line forward.

After all, quite a few of these Dutch players have experienced the semi-finals of the European Cup in 2000, and they really have a lot of psychological shadow on penalty kicks.Therefore, compared to the Italian players who put on a calm look, they obviously don't want to drag the game to a penalty shootout.In this way, the Dutch must score goals as soon as possible and establish a score advantage, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the year.

Strange to say, it stands to reason that these Dutch players have seen a lot of big scenes, and they are basically the mainstay in the clubs they play for, and their psychological quality is definitely not bad, but when they hit a penalty kick The problem is really speechless.

Of course, the main reason why these Dutch players took the initiative to attack in less than 10 minutes after the start of the game was that they were accustomed to constantly attacking in the game and they were unwilling to shrink in their own half to defend like a tortoise.Compared with the dirty work of defense, they are obviously more willing to devote their limited energy to a gorgeous offense.

As a result, the Dutch players, unable to hold back their desire to attack and fear of penalties, changed their style of play and played the offensive football they are most familiar with and favorite to play. Got to be dumbfounded.

It's no wonder, after all, apart from Guus Hiddink, the other Dutch coaches have fairly average control over the team, and most of these big-name players are obedient, rather than using tough methods to make them obey orders.

After taking up the coach of the national team, Van Gaal wanted to establish the absolute authority of the head coach in the team. Unfortunately, he overcorrected because of his excessive methods, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the leaders of the national team. In addition, the Netherlands failed to break into the team. The World Cup finals in Korea and Japan caused him to dismiss get out of class hastily before he could achieve results in the transformation of the national team.

Although the Dutch players put aside Advocaat's tactical deployment on their own initiative, their performance on the court did not show signs of confusion. Instead, they played smooth offensive football under Seedorf's organization. And gradually gained the upper hand in the midfield competition.

The reason for this unscientific situation is mainly because these players are familiar with each other's technical characteristics and playing styles, such as Seedorf and Van der Sar when they played for Ajax. A very deep tacit understanding has been accumulated.Therefore, even if they violated Advocaat's tactical arrangement, the Dutch team showed no signs of running smoothly on the field.

Perhaps the offensive trident on the front line may cause some hesitation, but Ruud van Nistelrooy is just a pure shooter in the national team at this time, and the two young men, Robben and Van der Meyde, also need to be the big brothers of the national team such as Cocu and De Boer. It is impossible to express objections at this time.Therefore, the Netherlands will still play a smooth game against the intention of the head coach. If it is replaced by another team, it will be God's blessing not to make a mess on the court.

Robben is indeed the biggest discovery of the Netherlands in this European Cup. In the 203rd minute of the game, the Dutch Peter Pan broke through the defenses of Zambrotta and De Rossi on the left and then dribbled into the penalty area. Assisted Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was ambushing in the small penalty area, scored and successfully broke the deadlock on the field!
