101. Marginal people

For the penalty decision, obviously the Italians did not approve, then very young Xiao Ma brother stepped forward to argue with the referee, Nesta's small actions behind the defenders are actually commonly used by defenders to restrict the strikers who take the ball with their backs, but this time it is a little obvious, Merck's law enforcement standards are indeed relatively strict, and you can actually find some clues by looking at Zambrotta's red card.

At this time, Jiang Qi did not pay attention to what was happening on the field, he already knew that the penalty existed, so he called Frank de Boer to the sideline before he took the penalty.

The short 12 yards of the penalty is a complete psychological game, with the penalty taker and the opposing goalkeeper completing the process in constant mutual deception and hints, and until the last minute, no one will know who the winner is, brutal and full of suspense.

So to get Frank de Boer to win in this round of mental cues, that's one thing Jiang Qi is trying to do right now.

'Frank, you listen to me and judge for yourself, against a left-footed player, the goalkeeper tends to choose the opposite corner, it's a psychological cue...... And when it comes to taking penalties, I think power is often more important than angle. ”

The captain of the Dutch team did not respond, his head bowed in thought.

The rookie coach continued: "The above is my suggestion, the choice is up to you to do it yourself, but don't put too much pressure on yourself, although we are at home, but I can take the responsibility of this penalty for you, you have to throw away all the distractions, we have mastered the dominance of the field, sooner or later we will win this game!" ”

In fact, these words of Lao Jiang are also a series of psychological hints.

What he could guess was the factor that influenced Frank de Boer's final penalty selection: wanting to win and being afraid of conceding a penalty.

Want to win from the home fans expectations, this is a heavy pressure is undoubted, but also from the team's own desire for the local Cup, this kind of glory is really difficult to come by, the European Cup only has a reincarnation every four years, if you miss this opportunity to fight at home, even if you get the trophy next time or next time, there is also a bit of a brocade night walk.

What's more, this is likely to be Frank de Boer's last European Championship, after all, the captain of the Dutch team has passed his prime.

Therefore, the most important meaning revealed in Jiang Qi's words is that he can take the responsibility after the starting point is missed, so that Frank does not have too much mental burden. Lao Jiang himself does not know how much this will do, and all he asks is to do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

Merck eventually dismissed the Italian players' complaints with a yellow card shown to Toldo, while restoring order on the pitch.

Frank de Boer stood in front of the ball with a slightly solemn expression, everyone was staring at the football in front of him, and Jiang Qi was probably the only one who paid more attention to the Dutch captain's expression.

Running, he really didn't choose the direction of Toldo's left hand, but vigorously pumped to the middle!

Unfortunately, because of Frank's intentional pause in the middle of the run, Toldo fell to the left and followed half a beat slower, and after seeing that he was in the wrong direction, his feet deliberately kicked sideways, and actually touched the football that Frank thrown.

After the football touched Toldo's ankle, it bounced upwards and hit the lintel, and finally Shi Shiran flew out!

The Amsterdam Arena was followed by shouts of surprise and excitement, like a volcano erupting suddenly!

Someone reacted faster than Frank, an orange figure and a blue figure pounced from outside the penalty area almost at the same time, and the orange figure prevailed in the entanglement, taking the lead in grabbing the landing point that popped up after the football hit the lintel, and smashed the black and white elf into the net with his head!

It was all the Dutch fans who lamented, then marveled and then cheered, but unfortunately the cheers that made the entire Amsterdam Arena boil were interrupted by Merck's whistle.

The German referee stood in the orange figure - that is, the position of Davis's supplementary shot, with his arm stretched out, signaling that Davies had a pulling movement in his hand when he was fighting for position with Di Biagio, and the goal was invalid!

The boar angrily waved his arm at Merck, but in exchange for a yellow card.

Toldo picked up the football from the net with a happy face, and did not forget to reach out to the German who had just given him a yellow card and gave him a thumbs up, and the stadium immediately booed, but this did not help the result of the game to remain calm 0:0 and never changed.

I don't know why, Jiang Qi's psychology suddenly felt much smoother, although the result of the historical trajectory was the same, this penalty was not scored, but these slight changes in the process made the rookie coach gain some hope.

He always felt that there was a difference between not scoring and not scoring or not, and the psychological hints given to the players between scoring the ball but not being allowed and not scoring at all were completely different for the players, the former means that we have the ability to score the ball, and the latter is more like a direct dampening hope of scoring.

One needs to be repeated, but the other has to be changed, it should be different...... Jiang Qi comforted himself.

At the end of the half, Lao Jiang did not get up and walk back to the players' tunnel, but stood at the door of the tunnel and high-fived every player who walked by, and then said, "Good job!" ”

He hopes to change the final result of the game by tinkering with the details a little bit, and he wants to minimize the frustration and damage to the morale of the players caused by the two penalties in the original trajectory, and now they have another penalty opportunity, although this only exists in theory, maybe because of the butterfly effect, the penalty in the second half disappeared......

However, the Dutch supporters remained optimistic as they had the numerical advantage and were in complete control throughout the first half, with Italy barely making any decent counter-attacks, with the only fly in the ointment being the penalty that was accidentally knocked out by Toldo's shit luck. Therefore, after they were ready to continue watching the game in the midfield, they were more discussing what adjustments Jiang Qi would make in the midfield.

After 15 minutes, the young man, who seemed to have a relaxed expression, really made personnel adjustments, and it was also the second adjustment that was different from the original trajectory.

In the starting list, Jiang Qi replaced Bosvelt arranged by Rijkaard with Reziger.

At halftime, Jiang Qi unexpectedly replaced the left wingback Van Bronckhorst, and replaced him with a striker, to be precise, a striker who seems to be unknown, without the young and famous Big Ears Cup as an embellishment, nor the value of a famous coach like the old man, and there is no Van Hoydonk high fringe man in Rijkaard's sequence ranking - Roy Mackay!
