The German tank 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 of this European Championship, in the match against Russia, the final result was also a big surprise, the most beautiful tulips that should have bloomed, withered in front of the ferocious polar bear.

３：１！

The last laugh is not the Netherlands, the representative of passionate football, but Russia, which has experienced a long trough and has regained its feet.

The Russian team should be congratulated, they played a beautiful game, this victory, one can even say a mythical drama.

Four years ago, in the European Cup, the Greek team also staged a myth, but they relied on defensive counterattacks to sneak attack the opponent, and the Russian team defeated the Netherlands today, and Russia completely dragged down the Dutch team, which is unbelievable.

Especially when Ruud van Nistelrooy equalised near the end of regular time, it was supposed that the Dutch should have been demoralized, but unfortunately in the 30 minutes of extra time, they were completely led by the nose by the opposition, and the back line was full of holes, and in the end they had to end up with hatred.

Dutch fans are depressed, this game, the performance of the Dutch team and the group stage formed a strong contrast, when it should be hard, but there is no motivation, no hope.

Especially during the group stage, the impregnable backline was beaten by the opponent's tidal wave of attacks again and again, and if it wasn't for the Russians who wasted too many opportunities, I don't know what the outcome of this game would be.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is depressed, he scored a resurrected goal before the end, but this goal could not save the Dutch team, Sneijder is depressed, he is the fiercest and best player in the Dutch team, but he has faced the opponent's siege many times, unable to do anything, helpless, Van der Sar is depressed, he desperately shouted to his teammates WHY? WHY？ He couldn't figure out why the team's defense was so amateurish.

Why? Why?

If the Dutch have had a lot of problems at the back, then why did they perform so well during the group stage?

Hiddink is indeed amazing, but does he really have a knack for turning stone into gold?

Van Basten's use of tactics will certainly be questioned, and an early substitution has denied Robben a chance to play, especially after he replaced right-back Bora Luz on the right flank, but perhaps none of that is the most important thing.

It's the Russians who are so good, Arshavin is the seed of a superstar, but Russia won't win by one or two players.

They put a lot of pressure on the Dutch from the first minute and they had a clear physical advantage, and although they squandered their chances again and again, they were full of energy and their attacks were like a tide. Therefore, the Dutch defense was not the result of its own mistakes, but was completely destroyed and breached by the opponent.

Van Basten's Dutch team came to an end on June 21, 2008, and after winning the top spot in the group, Van Basten's new Dutch team was expected to be more than ever, Cruyff and Gullit deliberately forgot the true quality of this team, and the Dutchman finally let the victory get carried away, and when Hiddink defiantly declared before the game that he was going to play against the Netherlands, Van Basten did not hesitate to respond, in fact, falling into Hiddink's trap.

Why was Russia beaten 4:1 by Spain?

It's not because Spain played the attack, but Calagones controlled the rhythm in a targeted manner, so that the Russians could only spend their physical strength, just like why the Netherlands can beat Italy 3:0 and France 4:1, not because of how good the Netherlands' attack is, but more because of the tactical opponents, because Van Basten has learned to be reserved, and of course, because Donadoni and Domenech are really inferior to Van Basten.

Since winning the Delaunay Cup in 1988, the Dutch have been doing well in the European Championships, but they have always been defeated on penalties.

In 1992, they went all the way to the semi-finals, but lost to Denmark in the penalty shootout, and in the 1996 England European Championship, they also lost to France in the penalty shootout, and in 2000, they went all the way to the semi-finals, and still lost to Italy in the penalty shootout, until the quarter-finals of the 2004 European Championship in Portugal, the Dutch finally beat Sweden in the penalty shootout, but "breaking the penalty curse" is not a good thing.

While the Russians were still attacking in extra time, the Dutch were starting to look forward to penalties because they had broken the spell because they had Van der Sar, but the Russians didn't give the Dutch a chance to take a penalty.

Before the game, the Dutchman didn't seem to have Russia in mind at all and seemed very comfortable with the team's prospects, which made many people ignore Hiddink's knowledge and knowledge of Dutch football, even better than Van Basten, the magical coach whose coaching record is comparable to Cruyff's, after completely pinching the Dutch seven inches, he kept beating hard.

After the game, Van Basten used "lack of physical fitness in extra time" as an excuse, but compared to physical strength, the Netherlands, who were rested in the final round, were far better than Russia.

In the PK of the new and old generations of Dutch coaches, Van Basten ended in defeat, in front of the old and spicy Hiddink, Van Basten's tactics and on-the-spot command have obvious flaws, Hiddink does know the Dutch tactics, but Van Basten has enough opportunities to adjust through substitutions, but the three substitutions of the ballet prince, not only failed to have any effect, but directly abolished the Netherlands.

The Netherlands' first substitution came on 54 minutes when Heitinga came on for Bolaruz. Due to the recent commuting between the hospital and the station, training in Bolaruz is not normal. To prevent him from slipping into fitness, Van Basten replaced him with Heitinga.

Heitinga is a versatile defensive player who can play all defensive roles, but Hetinga's positional sense is too vague due to being "too versatile".

It was Heitinga who came on and the Russians seized the first opportunity, Arshavin played a straight pass to Shemark, who was supposed to come forward to intercept the cross, but chose to adduct the defense, and as a result, Shermak easily assisted Pavlyuchenko to open the scoring, just two minutes after Heitinga came on.

Russia then saw the dead hole of Haitinga, Arshavin and Zhirkov, who was born in the left midfield, collectively put pressure on it, in the 106th minute of extra time, Zhirkov did not fake the action, directly shook the center of gravity of Haitinga, facing Zhirkov who burst into the penalty area, Haitinga put it down with his hands and feet behind his back, if it were not for the referee Michel being too merciful, Heitinga could not escape the fate of the red card and penalty.

Perhaps frightened by the first goal, Heitinga rarely dropped back into the box after that, watching Arshavin blow the stake-like Oyer.

After that, Russia's second goal directly extinguished the morale of the Dutch players, and when Arshavin played Oyer on the left side of the penalty area, Heitinga remained "firmly" on the right flank.

The third goal conceded was also related to Heiting's interest rate, his slow filling gave Arshavin an easy chance to get off the ground, and the ball hit Heitinga's leg and refracted into the net.

The second substitution mistake was Van Persie, Robben was injured, which greatly weakened the Dutch team's attacking ability on the wing, at this time Basten's wisest choice should be to abandon the wing and focus on the middle, Huntelaar and Hesselingk can assist Ruud van Nistelrooy to control the high ball, but Van Basten has put his trust in the flashy wingers.

A sneijder with ten shots was enough, but after the break, another indiscriminate shooter Van Persie came on the scene, and none of the five shots at the Arsenal core hit the goal, and the presence of him and Sneijder made Ruud van Nisney an expensive ornament, and the role of the king of the penalty area, in addition to scrambling for headers, was left to make a wall for long-range shooters.

In the 62nd minute, Van Basten replaced Ngal with Afelai, and the final move of the ballet prince was still a bad move, and the young Afelet was clearly unable to adapt to the pressure of the tournament, and the Eindhoven winger failed to create any chances.

Afelai's appearance directly forced Van der Vaart to switch to a very uncomfortable midfield, and the talent of the Hamburg core in midfield playmaking and long-range shooting was completely wasted.

The three substitutions did not work, but instead abolished the two attacking cores of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Van der Vaart, and Van Basten was able to dig his own grave.

The head coach's fighting style failed, and the comparison between the same players, Arshavin also completely destroyed the core of the Dutch team, Sneijder, in this game, the final defeat of the Dutch team, Sneijder has to bear a lot of responsibility.

It was probably the group stage that went too smoothly that made Sneijder a little flustered, and Van Basten's encouragement made him see himself as the absolute leader of the Dutch team.

In fact, it has long been decided in Dutch football that Sneijder is not a good playmaker, he needs to improve the efficiency of passing and receiving the ball and shooting, and sometimes he is too easily carried away by passion.

Sneijder was clearly carried away in this game, and with the overwhelming dominance of center forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, Sneijder's first choice after winning the ball was always a long-range shot.

Sneijder's indiscriminate shooting directly led to Ruud van Nisney's slump, the king of the box only had three shots in 120 minutes, and without Ruud vanney's dominance in the box, Sneijder could not have become the savior of the Netherlands by shooting birdie from long range alone.

Sneijder was hailed as the DJ of the Netherlands by the media, and when the commander went into a frenzy, the Tulip Legion's attack system was bound to collapse.

Too many long-range shots reflect the immaturity of Sneijder's mentality, and in the face of a backward situation, the Dutch No.10 is always anxious, and the whole team is also anxious under his guidance.

Sneijder's assist for Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal was an exception, and the overly impatient Dutch were barely able to create any chances in the attacking position.

'Playing as a team means that the players have to communicate on the pitch, to communicate constantly.

Sneijder was right before the game, but when he was really in a desperate situation, the Dutch No.10 had already forgotten about the team spirit.

However, with the number 10, Arshavin's team spirit was a cut above Sneijder's, with Russia's second goal being the best example.

In the 99th minute, Arshavin connected two people on the right and knocked on the middle, and Tolbinski, who singled out the goalkeeper, lacked power to push with his left foot, and Van der Sar fell to the ground to hold the ball.

Arshavin did not lose faith in his team-mates, and thirteen minutes later, the left side of the Russian No.10 penalty area flicked past Oyer and crossed to the back post, where Tobinski, who had missed the chance to kill, stabbed home in time.

It wasn't so much Arshavin's individual ability that determined the match, but his team spirit that helped Russia reach the semi-finals.

Basten lost and his Dutch football era came to an end, with a sweeping victory for his old man Guus Hiddink.

Before the game, Hiddink had publicly stated that he was happy to be a "traitor" in the face of his home team, and 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, just calmly shook his fist and returned to the coach's box, and at the post-match press conference, Hiddink gave more praise to his players.

'I'm proud of my players, I've never had the same experience in my coaching career as I did today, the Netherlands are a very strong team tactically, technically and physically, but today we beat them in all three.

After the game went into extra time, the Russian team showed a strong desire to win, while the Dutch team was already significantly weaker than the Russian team in terms of momentum, and Hiddink also praised the performance of the players: "They didn't focus on the timer, they focused on the attack, so in the end we scored the winning goal, but in fact we should have decided the result much earlier. ”

Russia have been a fantastic team since the start of the European Championship qualifiers and they have been even better in the finals, but in Hiddink's opinion, they can perform even better: "My players are young, but they have a lot of understanding, they are very good athletes, and I think they have room to improve. ”

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

After leading Russia to the semi-finals of the European Championships, Hiddink's magical coaching career was rewritten, following the South Koreans in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 2002 and the Australian national team to make a historic breakthrough in the round of 16 four years later.

Before the start of the European Championships, Russia was not favored by people, the reason is very simple, in the strong European football, Russia, which has rarely achieved good results in any international competition, will certainly not go far in this European Cup, but under the careful training of Hiddink, the performance of the scattered Russian team is very different, the style of play is calm, the attack is resolute, and it is getting better as the game unfolds.

Despite a 4-1 defeat to favourites Spain in their opening game, Russia quickly emerged from the defeat to reach the quarter-finals with Greece and Sweden, and now have no way to defend against the Netherlands.

No one knows the Orange better than Guus Hiddink, who was once the manager of the Dutch team, and in the face of the favourites, Hiddink's tactical set-up was unexpected, and the Dutch team, who have always been known for their attack, scored against the Dutch team, and in the 90 minutes of the game, the Russian team was the real winner on the field, giving the Dutch team countless threats from start to finish, and the Dutch team had to play defensive to deal with it.

1:1, the game was dragged to extra time, a goal instantly decided the fate of the winner, Hiddink's substitution received a magical effect, in the 81st minute substitute Tolbinski broke the deadlock on the field, and then Hiddink called the smartest player Arshavin has encountered since coaching to set the score at 3:1, completely shattering the Dutchman's dream of winning the championship.

As the coach of the Russian national team, Hiddink is clearly looking forward to leading the Russian team to further progress at this European Championship, and he declared before the game that he would not mind being a "traitor" in the eyes of his hometown fans if he could help them win against the Netherlands.

As the former coach of the Dutch national team, Hiddink knows better than anyone how desperate the prestigious Dutch team is to win the European Championship trophy, but now he has become a "traitor" to ruin this dream.

The fighting style of the new and old Dutch coaches, the final verified proposition is that ginger is still old and spicy!

Basten may be very confused as to how his team, who were invincible in the group stage, suddenly seemed to have changed teams after reaching the knockout rounds.

'The result was very disappointing, we should have done better, but unfortunately the final result was very different from what we expected, I don't know what happened to all this, I don't want to know, my job is over, there will be a new manager to lead the Netherlands forward, I want to thank my players, they are not losers, it may not end so well, but this is life, football is like this, and this is the charm of football!'

Russia have qualified, their semi-final opponents will be between Italy and Spain, perhaps Hiddink is very conflicted right now, he does not want to face Spain because Spain won 4-1 against his team in the group stage, and he wants to meet Spain again because he wants to avenge the 4-1 defeat in the group stage.

Italy and Spain, the two extremes of two styles of football, the battle for the last place in the semi-finals of Euro 2008 is about to begin!
