The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Wednesday, a little bit 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.

Although their gate was broken first by their opponents, the Italian players did not lose heart because of this.After the game restarted, the players still played step by step on the court according to Trapattoni's arrangement. Pirlo and Deco controlled the rhythm of the team very well. It can't be said that they are now the party behind the score.

Although Italian football has always been famous for its sharp counterattack and reinforced concrete defense, this does not mean that when the opponent takes the lead, they will become helpless.After all, the football field is always changing, and no one can guarantee that everything will develop according to their own expectations.Therefore, even if the defense is as strong as the Italians, they will estimate the possibility of the unfavorable situation of falling behind in advance, and formulate corresponding countermeasures, and will never mess up because of a little accident in the game .

The calm performance of the Italian players disappointed the Dutch players. They planned to strike while the iron was hot to further expand their lead. The ball was hit, and there was no change of strategy or a large-scale counterattack in the next game just because one goal was behind.

This situation really depressed the Dutch players. After all, in their imagination, Italy, which was one goal behind, would definitely attack actively to get back the score after the re-kick-off.In this way, they can use Robben and Van der Meyde to get more shooting opportunities.

Fuck me, this is different from what you said!It’s not about dealing with this kind of team that mainly uses defensive counterattack tactics. As long as we score first, the opponent has to choose to take the initiative in order to get back the score. In this way, we can get more scoring opportunities and further expand the score. ?Why did this group of Italians react completely differently? They were still the same as before they lost the ball. They organized on the pitch without haste, and looked indifferent to the score...

Unlike the depressed Dutch players, Advocaat was secretly pleased with the performance of the Italian players at this time.In his view, since the team has taken the lead, there is no need to continue to attack at the risk of being counterattacked by the opponent. The most important thing is to hold the existing advantage.

However, Advocaat also knows in his heart that now that he has lost control of the team, no matter what arrangements he makes on the sidelines, the players will not obey his adjustments and arrangements.

"Hmph, what a group of people who take it for granted... Do you think you can make me stand up like this?" Advocaat's cold eyes kept turning around Cocu, De Boer and others. He had already seen these people The veteran who has great prestige in the national team but is no longer in shape is upset.Although due to various relationships, Advocaat has no ability to move them at all, but this does not mean that the head coach who has studied with Michels for five years has no way to let the team follow the rules. His thought contest: "If I didn't have the prestige of Mr. Michels, I would have kicked you guys out of the national team long ago who always sing against me!"

Hiddink, the former Dutch national team coach, had a good saying: "If Clement (the Spanish coach at the time) asked his players to stand under a tree, they would do so immediately; but if I ordered my players to , he would immediately ask me: 'Why?' Who knows why? The Dutch are never beaten by others, they just beat themselves!"

Hiddink's remarks are very representative of how strong the egoism of these Dutch players is.In the eyes of these players, they will not unconditionally implement the arrangements of the head coach that do not meet their wishes, and they will only do it if they have to care about the opponent.

The current situation of Dutch football is that both the Football Association and the fans are too fond of these players, which has greatly weakened the authority of the head coach and cannot suppress these players at all.The team's win is due to these players, and the loss is due to the poor command of the head coach and improper employment. This situation has made the position of head coach of the Dutch national team a hot potato, and few well-known coaches are willing to take over.

So, having made up his mind, Advocaat began to plan in his mind how to make the team play according to his ideas.The Dutch players on the field saw the head coach sitting silently on the coach's bench, and they all thought that Advocaat had accepted the fact that they were ostracized, and they did not expect that the opponent was planning a counterattack at all.

In this way, when Frisk blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still [-]-[-], and the Netherlands temporarily took the lead relying on Peter Pan Robben's wonderful performance.

After the 15-minute half-time break, the players on both sides returned to the court and immediately started fighting again. The intensity of the game has been significantly improved compared with the first half. Now there are only 45 minutes left before the end of the game. Zhang's ticket to the semi-finals of the European Cup made them dare not be careless in the slightest, and could only do their best to play football with all their heart.

It has to be said that Totti's suspension had a considerable impact on Italy.Although Pirlo and Deco can carry the team's organizational work very well, they are both more suitable to be a commander who hides behind the scenes and directs the overall situation, rather than rushing to the front like the Roman prince, or sending a deadly final to his teammates. Nine and a half in the first pass.Although Cassano has this potential and talent, Barry Boy, who has not turned his potential into strength, is obviously not as threatening as Totti.Under the experienced defense of Davis and Cocu, Cassano's performance can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Therefore, although Italy, which lacked the general Totti, was not scored again by the Netherlands after strengthening its defense against Robben, on the offensive end, the Apennines also could not break through the Dutch defense.In other words, it was difficult for them to form enough threatening scoring opportunities. The offensive trident of Vieri, Milito and Cassano was completely divided by the Dutch players, and it was almost impossible to form an effective connection in the frontcourt!

Stam, who knew both Vieri and Diego Milito, played a very important role in it.If it weren't for his guidance, it would be almost impossible for De Boer and Cocu to defend against Italy's counterattack so perfectly.

Of course, the decline of Vieri's own ability is the most important reason why Italy is difficult to break the deadlock, so I won't go into details here.

In this way, the two teams, which were having difficulty finding a breakthrough on the offensive end, began to enter a stalemate on the field, and the game came to a stalemate!
