Chapter 45 Humiliation under the crotch

The first round of Group A ended, followed by the second match day, against the Netherlands VS Denmark, Germany VS Portugal.

In the first match between the Netherlands and Denmark, although everyone thought that the strength of the Netherlands was obviously higher than their opponents, in this game against Denmark, the high-profile uncrowned king did not show his due domineering and muddle-headed ball control, exposing the Dutchman's arrogance and petty enemy. At a glance.

In the end, the Danes taught their invincible opponents with a sharp counterattack and tenacious fighting spirit. In the 24th minute of the game, Cologne Delhi intercepted the opponent's release ball outside the penalty area. Facing the grabbed Hetinga, Cologne Delhi lightly smashed and shook the core of the Dutch defense like a wooden stake, and then Shot from a small angle in the penalty area, the ball passed under the crotch of Stecklenburg and drilled straight into the net.

You should know that the Netherlands won a total of 17 victories in 32 European Championships, 14 of which were the first to score goals, and only three times were reversed after losing the ball first. Their last victory in the European Cup can be traced back to a game with France 12 years ago. That is to say, Cologne Delhi's goal was almost announced. The probability that the Orange Army will get a good start in this European Championship is already very small.

Although the Dutch top-heavy problem has been around for a long time, it is still shocking to be broken by the opponent so deliberately. You know, before the game, Hetinga also boasted that he had three years of experience in Everton and had the strength to deal with any striker, especially Bentner, who could handle it effortlessly.

Haitinga said: "Bentner is a good shooter. We have had the experience of playing in the Premier League. He didn't get a chance on me. Tonight, it's the same. Now I'm a mature defender, and I'm confident to single out any striker."

As a result, Cologne Delhi, who is far less famous than the Danish striker, has vented this anger on his teammates in the most humiliating way, and Stecklenburg, who had been selected by Van der Sar as the double successor of the club and the national team, was also played by this unknown Dane.

After that, Colognedely played more and more confidently. In the 41st minute, he even had the opportunity to help the Danish team expand its results. At that time, the ball fell into the blind spot of Dutch defense. Colognedeli was about to complete a short-range shot, but Jacobson, who was inserted at the back point, grabbed a spot and squandered it. A great opportunity in Cologne Delhi.

Just a minute later, Colognedry's right-footed arc shot in front of the penalty area shocked Stecklenburg in a cold sweat. In the 70th minute, Colognede li repeated his old technique. His right foot shot after horizontally went straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Stecklenburg tried his best to block the ball out of the bottom line.

It is worth mentioning that the Netherlands has the strongest front-line combinations in this European Championship, Huntelaar, Van Persie and Luc. De Jong, the three strikers, have scored nearly 100 goals in their respective clubs this season, and have also won the Golden Boot Award in the league. Compared with the luxurious front line of the Dutch combination of "handsome and rich", Cologne Delhi can only be regarded as a "poor and short", but a Danish who is good at writing fairy tales, with diligence He wrote a counterattack of an extremely determined loser with his fighting spirit.

As a result, Van Persie, who has been calling for wind and rain in the Premier League this season, has frequently shot, slipped and kicked, while Cologne Delhi on the other side seized almost the only real opportunity in Denmark, with a fatal blow.

After the game, Dutch captain Van Bommel also said bitterly: "In the whole game, they created such a threat, and we have so many opportunities!"

Olson, the head coach of the Danish team, said in a low profile before the game: "The Netherlands' lineup is really enviable. Their strength is even stronger than that of the World Cup two years ago. They are undoubtedly the favorite of the championship."

But Bentner pointed out: "Our opponents are the favorite to win the championship. Maybe in terms of strength, they are better than us, but there are many factors that determine the outcome of the game."

Now it seems that Cologne Delhi is the decisive factor in deciding the outcome.

In the end, Denmark defeated the popular Dutch team with a goal of 1-0 in Cologne Delhi in the first half. This result seemed to be shocking, but if you look carefully, you will find that the Dutch team's defeat is also reasonable.

Before the game, Dutch coach Van Malvik said that any team that despised Denmark would be punished. He didn't think about it, but his words came true on his own team.

The course and results of the game proved that the Danish team is not the weakest team in this group as people think. Although the Danish team members are tall and horses, they are not clumsy, and the smooth midfield pass has also created a lot of threatening attacks.

In contrast, the Dutch team only had a long shot in the goal post, but dozens of attacks in the whole game did not score a goal. What is the reason? Is it just bad luck?

Although the Dutch team has a lot of shots in this game, most of them were completed outside the penalty area. While highlighting **, it also exposed the Dutch team's eagerness to win the game, but the rough attack in front of the goal also slightly shows the Dutch team's feeling of underesirious enemies.

Under such a seemingly contradictory mentality, the Dutch team's attack has never been able to go as expected. With the deepening of the game, impatience also followed. As a result, it can be imagined that the Dutch team's offensive is full of tide, and few can pose a real threat to the Danish team's goal. .

Especially in the case of falling behind, the Dutch team became more and more impatient as time went by, and coach Van Malvik also replaced Huntelaar, Van der Vaart and Kuyt in the last 20 minutes, plus the single arrow Van Persie. At the last moment, four players appeared on the front line at the same time. But the effect is still not ideal.

At the end of the game, the overall formation of the Dutch team has been completely disconnected. There is no midfield transition for each of the five players in the front and backfields. Just like a person who only has his head and feet, and no strength torso and waist to support and connect, it will definitely not work. In particular, the five people in the front court are lined up from left to right, with no interaction and no hierarchy. Such a formation and position are useless, even if all 10 goalkeepers are pushed to the front court.

Excessive impatience wastes too many opportunities, and too hasty and reluctant shots do not show more delicate cooperation.

Uncalmberness is the biggest problem of the Dutch team's game. Although the Dutch team has dozens of shots in the field, most of them are personal breakthrough single-action, with few decent continuous foot-falling cooperation, and its control of the scene and rhythm does not show the water that the strong team should have. The final score disappointed the supporters who supported the Netherlands, but the result was reasonable.

The impatience of the enemy and the impatient Dutch team finally paid the price. Perhaps before the game, no one expected such a result. No matter which line, the strength of the Dutch team was far stronger than Denmark, but in the end, they lost.

In the game, the Danish team, which performed more actively and worked harder, confirmed the sentence "God rewards hard work", and those who work harder get a more fruitful reward.

After the game, Bentner, the striker of the Danish team, also said excitedly that the victory of the game was fought. Although he did not score in the game, he undoubtedly became the most dangerous explosive object facing the Dutch team's defense.

The tall Bentner's skills are also excellent. In the confrontation with Hetinga, who didn't take him seriously, he completely gained the upper hand. Although he did not score, there is no need to say much about Bentner's contribution to the team in this game.

"We won a victory. This was a great moment. No one was optimistic about us before the game. Everyone thought that we would become the victims of a good start, but in the end, we told those who looked down on us, Danish football, was not as weak as they thought! Victory is the best reward for us. Now we have to focus on the next game. I believe that as long as we can keep fighting, we will have the best result!"

The Danes cheered for their victory, while the Dutch were going to taste the endless pain. Coach Van Malvik publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the team in an interview after the game: "The whole game seemed a little abnormal. The players seemed very blind on the field. They didn't know themselves at all. What is your goal, yes! We have many shots, but we don't have a real chance. Is this normal? Before the game, I warned that no one can underestimate Denmark. Those who underestimate them will be punished, but obviously, no one listened to it. They just want to fight quickly and then enjoy the joy of victory. It is this attitude that makes us pay the price!"

However, it is obvious that Van Malvik's words can't be approved by everyone. The number one troublemaker in the team said after hearing Van Malvick's criticism: "Can anyone shirk responsibility? I admit that we played a very shit game, but it's not all the responsibility of the players. We tried our best, but we didn't get more correct instructions, especially at the last moment, we were desperate. There were a lot of people on the front line, but what's the result? I'm sure you all saw it!"

Van Persie publicly refuted Van Malvik. Seeing this scene, many people may feel very familiar with it, because this kind of thing has long been common for Dutch football.
