PS3: I would like to thank the book friend "Harry Potter yy" for his tip.

Replacing an offensive player with a defender is one of the most common tactics most used by most managers when they want to strengthen their defence. So, when Advocaat did this, almost no one realised what a low-level mistake the Dutch coach had made!

"This idiot!" Sitting in front of the TV watching the game, Michels couldn't help but be furious when he saw Advocaat replace Van der Meyde with Bouma, the godfather of Dutch football couldn't help but be furious, "Does he know what is the most feared opponent in this Dutch team right now?" ”

That's right, as Michels said, what is the strongest link for the Dutch national team right now?

Is it the backline that with the aging of key players such as De Boer and Stam, it is difficult for newcomers such as Bouma and Heitinga to pick the main beams? Or a midfield with the same pitfalls? Obviously, none of these are the right answers.

In fact, the strongest link of the orange team right now is their forward line. With the four central forwards of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Kluivert, Mackay and Van Hojttonk, as well as a top winger such as Robben, Overmars and Van der Meyde, the Orange are more than capable of playing an attacking storm that will terrify all teams!

However, Advocaat did not allow the Netherlands to play the expected attacking football in this game, but also took the initiative to abandon their strongest link and fight with the Italians on the pitch. You say Advocaat isn't it a saw bulb welding detonator - is it dead?

You know, although the Dutch backline looks quite solid, it is not the case. Kocu, Frank de Boer and Reziger are not in the same form as before, Van Bronckhorst is solid enough but can't expect too much from him with a limited ceiling, and the aging Stam and Davies, despite their top-level performances this past season, don't have the same tight defensive system in the Netherlands as they did when they played at Fiorentina and Juventus...... It is precisely because of this that the star-studded backline of the Dutch team is not as solid as fans think.

In contrast, Italy's world-class backline is clearly capable of throwing the Netherlands out of the woods by several streets. Therefore, when Advocaat took the initiative to admit and replace Van der Meyde to strengthen the defense, the next fate of the Netherlands, whose offensive strength was greatly weakened, was naturally conceivable.

After all, without Van der Meyde's containment on the right, the Italians could relax their defence on the left and devote more energy to the side of Robben, making it difficult for the Dutch to attack, while also giving them more opportunities to play quick counter-attacks.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Robben was caught by three Italian players when he broke through the left dribble and was robbed of the ball at his feet, and Italy launched a counterattack. Pirlo and Deco teamed up in the middle to turn the Dutch midfield defence into a pot of porridge, pushing the attacking line almost unhindered to the top of the Dutch penalty area, and drawing the attention of most of the defenders before crossing to De Rossi!

Although De Rossi's powerful volley was deflected by Van der Sar, who was tall and armed, it also caused the latter to get out of his hands, and Diego Milito, who followed up in time, got rid of De Boer's defense with an arrow step and scored from five meters in front of goal! Two to one!

Milito's goal left the Dutch players a little confused, as they didn't expect that they had just replaced a defender to strengthen their defence, and within a few minutes the Italians were overtaken by the Italians. This situation made all the Dutch players feel flustered and extremely entangled at the same time. After all, now that the situation on the court has completely reversed, and their side has gone from the leading side to the lower side, is it necessary for them to continue to invest in the defensive end?

Although the Dutch players had deliberately ignored Advocaat's pre-match tactics, there was nothing they could do to stop the manager when he made a substitution. So at this time, all the Dutch players have their eyes on Advocat, hoping that the manager can realise that the current Dutch team is not suitable for playing the defensive counter-attack he had in mind, and a return to attacking football is the right choice.

However, to the disappointment of the Dutch players, Advocaat, who was directing from the sidelines, was indifferent to their hints, and instead urged them to return to their respective positions as soon as possible to continue playing, asking them to pay more attention in defense and not give their opponents a chance to get up and hit the goal easily.

"It is now certain that Advocaat's previous substitution was undoubtedly a grossly wrong move." At this time, all the commentators who were broadcasting the game live also followed suit and began to criticize Advocaat's line-up, "When Van der Meyde was on the pitch, the Dutch two-wing tactics put a lot of defensive pressure on the Italian backline, making it difficult for them to put enough energy in the offensive end, so as to make their own defense solid. When Advocaat replaced Bouma, the Dutch's previous style of attacking instead of defending was naturally unsustainable in the absence of manpower, and the Italians, who had plummeted in defensive pressure, could also devote more energy to entering the palace, while the Netherlands' fragile backline struggled to cope with this kind of quick counter-attack, which led to the current situation. ”

All in all, these commentators are instilling in the audience the idea that the reason why the Netherlands were overtaken by Italy is completely Advocaat's fault!

In fact, Advocaat can't be blamed entirely, it can only be said that the manager's conservative coaching style is not suitable for the current Netherlands, and these stars in the team are really big enough to suppress them without a manager with an iron fist. This kind of contradiction and conflict between players and coaches in tactical thinking is the reason why the Netherlands was defeated by Italy.

The leak happened to rain overnight, and just when the Dutch players were frustrated by Advocaat's conservatism and lack of flexibility, the Italian scored again. This time, it was Diego Milito who was responsible for the Azzurri, as the striker cleverly stabbed Camoranesi's cross into the netting of Van der Sar in the penalty area to complete his first hat-trick for the Italian national team!

In this way, with Milito's hat trick and Advocat's magical "assist", Italy won three cities in a row after conceding one goal first, and sent the Netherlands back to their hometown with a score of 3-1!
