This unscientific situation is mainly due to the fact that these players are familiar with each other’s technical characteristics and playing styles, such as Seedorf and Van der Sar, and they have accumulated a profound tacit understanding when they played for Ajax. Even though they arranged the Dutch team in violation of Edward Carter’s tactics, there was no sign of unsmooth operation.
Maybe there may be some hesitation in attacking the Trident in the front line, but Ruud van Nistelrooy is a pure shooter in the national team at this time, and the two teenagers, Luo and Van der Mede, have to follow the lead of the national team’s eldest brothers, Koku and Delport, and it is impossible to express their opposition at this time. Therefore, the Netherlands will still play a smooth game against the head coach’s intention. If other teams are not present, it will be a mess.
Luo deserves to be the Netherlands’ biggest discovery in the 23rd minute of the European Cup. The Dutch Peter Pan broke through Zambrotta and Derossi’s defense on the left and took the ball into the penalty area to assist and ambush in the small penalty area. Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a goal and successfully broke the deadlock!
Chapter 1264 deadlock
Although the square gate was first broken by the opponent, the Italian players were not discouraged. After the game was resumed, the players still played in the stadium step by step according to trapattoni’s arrangement. Pirlo and Deco controlled the rhythm of the team very well and played very calmly, which made people unable to see that they were behind the score now.
Although Italian football has always been famous for its sharp defensive counterattack and reinforced concrete defense line, it does not mean that when opponents take the lead, they will become helpless. After all, football fields have always been changeable, and no one can guarantee that everything will develop according to their own expectations. Even those with strong defense like Italy will estimate the possibility of falling behind in the score in advance and formulate corresponding countermeasures, and will never be confused because of a little accident in the game.
The calm performance of the Italian players made the Dutch players feel very disappointed. They planned to further expand their lead while the iron was hot during this period. However, from the current situation, it seems that the Italians have not been hit by this goal at all, and they have not changed their strategies or made a big counterattack in the next game because they were behind by one goal.
This situation really depresses the Dutch players. After all, Italy, which is one goal behind in their imagination, will definitely regain the score after rescoring, so that they can get more shooting opportunities for the wings of Lilo and Van der Mede.
Holy shit, it’s not the same as saying yes! Isn’t it said that the home team wants us to score goals first to deal with this defensive counterattack tactic, so the other team will have to take the initiative to get more chances to score and further expand the score? How come this group of Italians, after their different reactions, are just as slow as before losing the ball, and they are indifferent to the backwardness of the score …
Unlike the depressed Dutch players, Edward Carter secretly rejoiced at the performance of the Italian players at this time. In his view, since the team has already taken the lead, there is no need to continue to attack at the risk of being countered by the opponent. It is the most important thing to keep the existing advantage.
However, Edward Carter also knows in his heart that now that he has lost control of the team, the players will not listen to his adjustment and arrangement no matter what arrangement he makes on the sidelines.
Hum is really a group of people who take it for granted … can you frame me like this? Edward Carter’s cold eyes kept spinning around people like Koku and Delport. He had long seen these veterans who had great prestige in the national team but were no longer in a bad state. Although due to various reasons, Edward Carter didn’t move their abilities, it didn’t mean that the head coach who had studied with michels for five years couldn’t make the team play according to his ideas. If it weren’t for Mr. michels’s prestige, I would have kicked you guys out of the national team!
Once the Dutch national team coach Hiddink said well, If Clemente (then the Spanish coach) asked his players to go to a tree, they would do it immediately; But if I order my player like this, he will immediately ask me,’ What?’ Who knows what they are? Dutch people are never defeated by others. They 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 conditionally implement the arrangement of the head coach that is not in their liking, and they will only do it after arguing with each other.
The current situation of Dutch football is that from the Football Association to the fans, these players are too fond of them, which has greatly weakened the head coach’s prestige, and they can’t suppress their hands. These players have won the game because of their credit, but the head coach’s poor command and improper people have made the position of head coach of the Dutch national team a hot potato, and few wellknown coaches are willing to take over.
So he made up his mind. Edward Carter planned in his mind how to make the team play according to his idea. When the Dutch players saw the head coach sitting in the coach’s seat and were silent, Edward Carter accepted the fact that he was framed by them. Unexpectedly, the other side was planning a counterattack.
In this way, when frisk blew the whistle at the end of the halfgame, the score was still one point ahead of the Netherlands, relying on Peter Pan’s wonderful performance.
After the 15minute intermission, the players from both sides returned to the stadium immediately, and the intensity of the game increased significantly compared with the halftime. Now, 45 minutes before the end of the game, a ticket to the semifinal of the European Cup made them dare not be careless and try their best to play football.
I have to say that Totti’s suspension has a great influence on Italy. Although Pirlo and Deco can carry the team organizers well, they are both more suitable to be a commanderinchief who hides behind the scenes and directs the overall situation, rather than rushing to the front like the King of Rome or sending the deadly last number 19 and a half Cassano by his teammates. Although they have this potential and talent, they have not yet turned their potential into strength. Obviously, Barry boys are not as threatening as Totti. Davis and Coco are too old to defend Cassano. Their performance can be said to be unsatisfactory.
Therefore, without Francesco Totti, Italy did not break the goal again by the Netherlands after strengthening the defense against Romania, but at the offensive end, the Apennines broke through the Dutch defense in the same way, or it was difficult for them to form enough threatening scoring opportunities. vieri, Milito and Cassano’s offensive trident were completely divided by the Dutch players, and it was almost impossible to form an effective association in the frontcourt!
It is very important for Stam to know vieri and diego milito well. Without his guidance, it is almost impossible for them to defend the Italian counterattack so perfectly by Delport and Koko alone.
Of course, vieri’s own ability to slip is the most important reason why it is difficult for Italy to break the deadlock, so I won’t go into details here.
In this way, it is difficult to find a breakthrough on the offensive end, and the two teams entered a stalemate at the scene, so the game was deadlocked!
Chapter 1265 vieri tricks
Yeah, Jaap (Stam), your hands are really ruthless. After returning from an offensive, vieri said discontentedly while rubbing his stomach and being beaten by Stam’s dark elbow. After all, we also play for the same club. Can’t you just let the water go when defending me? Don’t make such a small move when defending.
Christian, that’s a little unreasonable, Stam replied to vieri’s complaint. We’re not playing a friendly match now. If we don’t keep an eye on you, something will happen … how about this? If you promise me that you won’t do well in the next game, I’ll agree with you. How about discussing this deal just now?
Well, I’m just kidding. Don’t take it seriously. When Stam said this, vieri suddenly changed the subject with a dry smile. Like Stam, he didn’t dare to release water in this key battle to decide who can get a ticket to the semifinals of the European Cup.
While Stam and vieri were having a brief exchange (wrangling) on the scene, the attack of the Orange Legion was also frustrated. This time, the flank assault failed to tear the Italian defense line, which was blocked by Derossi and Zambrotta, and the ball was broken. Then the ball was handed over to Pirlo by Derossi at the first time, and the latter had been observing the situation in the frontcourt. Without waiting for Seedorf’s interference, he sent a kick over the top and kicked the ball to the Dutch half!
I have to say that Pirlo’s long ball was well controlled. He successfully kicked the ball over the midfield defense line formed by Koku and Davis and flew directly in the direction of Stam. It seems that if Stam does not move forward, the ball will probably fall behind the Dutchman.
Let’s not talk now. When the European Cup is over, let’s find a place to have a drink and get in touch with each other. I noticed that the ball flew towards my side. vieri glanced at Stam covertly, distracting the latter with words and moving his position without moving his face. Then I’ll walk first!
Taking his word, vieri left Stam behind with a sudden acceleration, and he ran to the position where the ball first landed!
Holy shit, Christian, you’re playing dirty with me! Because I didn’t pay attention to the trend when chatting with vieri before, my reaction was slow. Stam scolded vieri, who had pulled a position away from him, and immediately turned around and chased him. He was confident that he could successfully defuse the Italian offensive by blocking the other side before vieri finished shooting!
Because the physical quality slipped in the past year, which affected the explosive power and speed, vieri failed to throw Stam too far to control the ball at his feet, so he was chased by the latter and entangled in the restricted area, and he couldn’t get a shot.
However, although there is no shooting angle, it doesn’t mean that vieri can do anything. While dealing with Stam, he pays attention to the surrounding trends. After discovering that a teammate came to meet him, the horse turned his back and blocked Stam behind him, and then his left foot threw the ball out!
Oh, no! Stam’s heart suddenly thumped when he saw that diego milito had set up a shooting posture in the restricted area and stuck Frank De Boer firmly behind him. After all, Delport is not at ease now because of his age. Therefore, even if Delport is now in charge of defense and his confrontation ability is not excellent, it is difficult to cause enough interference to the latter when diego milito is stuck in the position of his opponent.
Although Delport still has a big move to put a shovel on the ground, but in the sensitive area of the restricted area and the opponent got an excellent opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly, the Dutch captain made this move to Milito, and the result is likely to be a ruby Mars card and a penalty from frisk.
In this way, in the 65th minute of the game, vieri Listam was distracted and caught Pirlo’s long ball and assisted diego milito to score a goal, which helped Italy equalize the score and put the two teams back on the same starting line!
Keeps the lead for nearly 40 minutes, but loses ground because of a defence leak. Seedorf, Koku and others stare at Stam and Frank De Boer rather badly, saying that you two will not be bribed by the Italians, right?
