Chapter 197 Netherlands: Tulips withered

The German chariot failed to crush Belgium, but was completely destroyed by Belgium with a 4:2, and the Dutch team, which performed best in the group stage in this European Cup, was also shocking in the match with Russia. The most beautiful tulip that should have bloomed, in the ferocious polar bear In front of me, it withered.

3:1!

The last laugh is not the Netherlands, the representative of ** football, but Russia, which has experienced a long depression and stood up again.

We should congratulate the Russian team for playing a beautiful game. This victory can even be said to be a thrilling mythical drama.

Four years ago, in the European Cup, Greece also staged a myth, but they relied on defensive counterattacks and sneak attacks on opponents, while Russia defeated the Netherlands today. Russia completely dragged down the Netherlands, which is incredible.

Especially when Fanny equalized the score near the end of the regular game time. Normally, the Dutch team should have boosted their morale, but unfortunately, in the 30 minutes of overtime, they were completely led by their opponents, and the defense line was full of loopholes, and in the end, they could only end with hatred.

Dutch fans are depressed. In this game, the performance of the Dutch team formed a strong contrast with the group stage. When it was time to work hard, there was no motivation or hope.

Especially during the group stage, the solid defensive line was beaten by the opponent's tide-like offensive again and again. If the Russians had not wasted too many opportunities, I don't know what the result of this game would be.

Faunny was depressed. Before the end of the game, he scored a comeback goal, but this goal could not save the Dutch team. Sneed was depressed. He was one of the most fierce and best-performing players in the Dutch team, but he faced the encirclement of his opponents many times and was helpless. Van der Sar was depressed. He desperately shouted WHY to his teammates? WHY? He doesn't understand why the team's defense is so amateur.

Why? Why?

If there are many problems with the Dutch team's defense, why did they have such a perfect performance during the group stage?

Hidink is really amazing, but does he really have the ability to become gold?

Van Basten's use of troops will certainly be questioned. The early substitution left Robben no chance to play, especially after he replaced right-back Bolaluz, and the right side immediately failed, but perhaps these are not the most important.

is that the Russians have performed too well. Arshavin is a superstar, but Russia's victory does not depend on one or two players.

They combine their body and technology well and put great pressure on the Dutch team from the first minute. They also have obvious physical advantages. Although they have squandered opportunities again and again, their energy is endless, and their attack is like a tide. Therefore, the Dutch defense line was not caused by its own mistakes, but was completely destroyed and broken by its opponents.

The Dutch team in the era of Van Basten came to an end on June 21, 2008. After winning the first place in the group with the momentum of destruction, Van Basten's new Dutch team was given unprecedented high hopes. Cruyff and Gulit deliberately forgot the real strength of the team, and the Dutch finally let the victory. In his mind, when Hiddink provocatively declared "to fight against the Netherlands" before the game, Van Basten did not hesitate to fight, which was actually equivalent to falling into Hiddink's trap.

Why was Russia beaten 4:1 by Spain?

It's not because Spain kicked the attack, but the targeted control rhythm of Caragones, so that the Russians can only waste their physical strength. Just like why the Netherlands can play Italy 3:0 and beat France 4:1, it's not because of how excellent the Dutch attack power is, but more because of its tactical opposition. Because Van Basten has learned to be reserved, and of course, because Donadoni and Domenek are really worse than Van Basten.

Since winning the Drone Cup in 1988, the Dutch team has always performed well in the European Cup, but they have always lost in penalty shootout.

In 1992, he made it all the way to the semi-finals, but lost to Denmark in the penalty shootout. In 1996, he also lost to France in the penalty shootout in the European Cup. In 2000, he advanced all the way to the semi-finals and still lost to Italy in the penalty shootout until 2004 In the quarter-finals of the Portuguese European Cup, the Dutch finally defeated Sweden in the penalty battle, but "breaking the penalty spell" is not a good thing.

When the Russians still attacked in overtime, the Dutch began to look forward to the penalty, because they had broken the spell, because they had Van der Sar, but the Russian team did not give the Dutch a chance to play the penalty.

Before the game, the Dutchman didn't seem to pay attention to Russia at all and seemed to be very relieved about the team's prospects, which made many people ignore Hiddink's understanding and cognition of Dutch football, and even far better than Van Basten. The magical coach, who is comparable to Cruyff, is completely pinching Holland. After seven inches, Lan couldn't stop beating.

After the game, Van Basten used "lack of physical strength in overtime" as an excuse, but compared with physical strength, the Netherlands, whose main body rested in the last round, was far better than Russia.

In the PK of the old and new generations of Dutch teachers, Van Basten ended in defeat. In front of the old Hiddink, Van Basten's tactics and on-the-spot command were obviously flawed. Hiddink did understand Dutch tactics, but Van Basten had had enough opportunities to adjust through substitution, but the ballet prince's three changes People not only failed to have any effect, but directly abolished the Netherlands.

The first substitution in the Netherlands took place in 54 minutes, and Heitinga replaced Bolaluz. Due to the recent travel between the hospital and the station, Bolalus training is not normal. In order to prevent his physical fitness from declining, Van Basten replaced it with Heting jia.

Haitinga is a versatile player on the defense line and can play all the defensive roles, but because it is "too versatile", Haitinga's sense of position is too vague.

It was after Haiting added the game that the Russian seized the first opportunity. Alshavin's direct pass to the left, Xie Mark, who should have intercepted the pass, but chose to intercept the defense. As a result, Shermark easily assisted Pavlyuchenko's first record, only two minutes before Heting jia's appearance.

Russia then looked at Hetinga's dead hole. Arshaven and Zhirkov, who was born in the left avant-back, collectively put pressure on him. In the 106th minute of overtime, Zhirkov did not make a realistic fake move and directly shook Heitinga's center of gravity. In the face of Zhilkov who broke into the penalty area, Hetinga put his hands and feet behind his back and released him. On the contrary, if the referee Michelle hadn't been too kind, Hetinga would have escaped the fate of red cards and penalty kicks.

Maybe he was scared by the first goal, and Heting jia rarely withdrew from the penalty area since then. He watched Arshavin blow up the stake-like Oyer.

Since then, Russia's second goal directly dampened the spirit of the Dutch players. When Arshavin played Oyer on the left side of the penalty area, Heitinga was still "firmly" on the right side.

The third loss of the ball is also related to Haiting's increase of interest. His slow replenishment gave Arshavin a chance to get up easily. The ball was refracted into the net after hitting Haiting's leg. It can be said that Van Basten lost all over the game.

The second substitution mistake was Van Persie. Robben was injured, which greatly weakened the Dutch team's offensive ability on the sidelines. At this time, Basten's wisest choice should be to give up the sideline and focus on the middle. Huntelaar and Hetherlink can help Fannie control the high ball landing point, but Van Basten gave his trust in Huabu. Real wingers.

Sneder, who shot ten feet in the whole field, was enough, but after halftime, another prodigal master Van Percy appeared. Arsenal's core five-legged shots did not hit the goal range. The existence of him and Sneijder made Van Nis an expensive decoration. The role of the king of the penalty area, in addition to fighting for the header, is left. Make a wall for the long-range shooters.

In the 62nd minute, Van Basten replaced Engras with Affile. The last step of the ballet prince was still stinky chess. The young Affile obviously could not adapt to the pressure of the competition, and the Eindhoven winger failed to create any opportunities.

Afilé's appearance directly forced Van der Faht to change his extremely uncomfortable back, and Hamburg's core talent in midfield organization and long-range shooting was completely wasted.

The three substitutions had no effect, but abolished the two major offensive cores of Van Nistel van der Fat. Van Basten can be regarded as digging his own grave.

The head coach failed in the fight, and the same comparison between the players, Alshavin also blew up Sneed, the core of the Dutch team. In this game, Sneed took great responsibility for the final defeat of the Dutch team.

Probably the too smooth group match made Sneijder a little flutter, and Van Basten's encouragement made him see himself as the absolute leader of the Dutch team.

In fact, the Dutch football circle has long made a conclusion about Sneed. He is not an excellent organizer. He needs to improve the efficiency of passing and shooting. Sometimes he is too easy to be overwhelmed by **.

Sneed in this game was obviously carried away. With the overwhelming advantage of center van Nisner, Sneed's first choice after getting the ball is always a long shot.

Sneder's indiscriminate shooting directly led to Fannie's downturn. The king of the penalty area only shot three times in 120 minutes. Without Van Nischer's dominance in the penalty area, Sneedder could not become the savior of the Netherlands by shooting birds alone.

Sneder was hailed as a DJ in the Netherlands by the media. When the commander fell into a state of madness, the attack system of the Tulip Legion was bound to collapse.

Too many long-range shots reflect Sneed's immature mentality. In the face of the backward situation, the Netherlands No. 10 has always been anxious, and the whole team is also extremely anxious under his leadership.

Sneder's assist with Van Nisner's goal is only an exception. In the position attack, the overly impatient Netherlands has hardly created any opportunities.

"Kicking like a team means that players must communicate on the court and continue to communicate."

Sneder said it right before the start of the game, but when he really fell into a desperate situation, the Dutch No. 10 had already forgotten the team spirit.

However, at the same time as No. 10, Arshavin's team spirit is higher than Sneed's, and Russia's second goal is the best example.

In 99 minutes, Arshavin passed two people on the right side and knocked across the middle. Torpinski, who challenged the goalkeeper, was not strong enough to push with his left foot, and Van der Sar fell to the ground and hugged the ball.

Arshavin did not lose confidence in his teammates. Thirteen minutes later, Russia shook Oyer on the left side of the No. 10 penalty area and passed the back post. Torpinski, who had previously lost the opportunity to kill, shot in time.

It is not so much that Arshavin's personal ability determines the game, but that his team spirit helped Russia make it to the top four.

Basten lost, and his Dutch football era came to an end,corresponding to the overall victory of his senior Hiddink.

Before the game, Hiddink publicly said that he was willing to be a "traitor" in the face of his motherland team. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Hiddink successfully became a "traitor".

However, after Arshavin scored the last goal for the Russian team, Hiddink did not celebrate with the players, but calmly clenched his fist and returned to the coach's seat. At the post-match press conference, Hiddink gave more praise to his players.

"I am proud of my players. In my coaching career, I have never had the same experience as today. The Dutch team is a strong team in tactical technology and physical quality, but today, we have defeated them in these three aspects."

After the game entered overtime, the Russian team showed a strong desire to win, while the Dutch team was obviously weaker than the Russian team. In this regard, Hiddink also praised the performance of the players: "They did not pay attention to the timer, but focused on the attack, so in the end, we made it. Win the ball, but in fact, we should have decided the result of the game earlier.

Since the beginning of the European Cup qualifiers, the Russian team has become a magical team. After entering the finals, they have performed better, but in Hiddink's view, they can still perform better: "My players are very young, but they are very understanding. They are all very good athletes. I think they still have room for improvement."

Hiddink also expressed his opinion on being called a "traitor": "I'm not arrogant, but in today's game, we are undoubtedly better than the Dutch team. In my opinion, the word 'traitor' is a very bad word. It's better not to use this word on me. I don't I want to hear it."

After leading the Russian team to successfully reach the top four of this year's European Championship, Hiddink's magical coaching career has been rewritten again. After leading the South Korean team to the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 2002 and helping the Australian national team make a historic breakthrough into the top 16 four years later, the Dutchman is now wonderful in this European Championship. Rejuvenation led the Russians to achieve the best results since the national team participated in the World Series.

Before the start of the European Championship, Russia was not favored by people for the simple reason. Russia, which rarely achieved good results in any international competition, will certainly not go too far in this European Cup, but under Hiddink's meticulous **, The performance of the scattered Russian team is very different. The style of play is calm and the attack is resolute. As the game unfolds, it gradually enters a better situation.

Although Spain was hit 4:1 in the first game, Russia quickly came out of the shadow of the defeat, and Greece and Sweden reached the quarterfinals. Now in the game with the Netherlands, the strong opponent before the game has no way to fight.

No one knows the Orange Army better than Hiddink, who used to be the coach of the Dutch team. In the face of winning the championship, Hiddink's tactical layout was unexpected, and he scored against the Dutch team, which has always been known for its attack. In the 90-minute game, the Russian team was the real winner on the court, giving the threat to the Dutch team from beginning to the end. There are countless, and the Dutch team has to fight defensively to deal with it.

1, the game was dragged to overtime, and a goal instantly determine the fate of victory or defeat. Hiddink's substitution received a magical effect. Torpinsky, who came on the field as a substitute in the 81st minute, broke the deadlock on the field, and then Alshaven, who was called the smartest player he has met since coaching, by Hiddink, set the score to 3: 1. Completely smashed the Dutch dream of winning the championship.

As the coach of the Russian national team, from a professional perspective, Hiddink is obviously looking forward to leading the Russian team further in this European Championship. Before the game, he once declared that if he could help the Russian team defeat the Netherlands, he does not mind becoming a "traitor" in the eyes of his hometown fans.

As the former coach of the Dutch national team, Hiddink knows better than anyone how eager the prestigious Dutch team is to win the championship trophy of this European Championship, but now he has become a "traitor" who has broken this dream. Hiddink's complex mood is difficult to describe in any words.

The fighting method of the new and old Dutch coach, the final verified proposition is that Jiang is still old and spicy!

Basten may be very confused. His team is invincible in the group stage. Why does it suddenly seem to have changed a team after the knockout stage?

"The result of the game is very disappointing. We should have done better, but unfortunately, the final result is very different from what we expected. I don't know what happened, and I don't want to know. My work is over. Next, there will be a new head coach to lead the Netherlands to move forward. I want to thank my players. They are not losers, but the ending may not be so good, but this is life. Football is like this, which is also the charm of football!"

Russia has advanced, and their opponents in the semi-finals will appear between Italy and Spain. Perhaps Hiddink is in a very contradictory mood now. He doesn't want to face Spain, because Spain once defeated his team 4:1 in the group stage, and he wants to meet Spain again because he wants to play for the group stage 4: 1 Revenge of defeat.

Italy and Spain, the two extremes of the two football styles, are about to fight for the last place in the top four of the 2008 European Cup!
