"We're going to take this game seriously!"

Because the Netherlands appeared in advance, so before the start of the final round, no matter what the purpose, the "water release" is very loud, because the result of the game between the Netherlands and Romania will be directly related to the fate of Italy and France, so the game has not yet started, it has been hyped, in the face of waterproofing, the Dutch coach Basten also made a commitment at the pre-match press conference.

Basten spoke about tomorrow night's match between the Netherlands and Romania, and while the result has no impact on the Dutch team, Basten said the Dutch team will take the game "seriously".

'Tomorrow is going to be a very interesting game, we are in a very good position and we are already out of the group. But we want to keep playing well and we're going to take this game seriously. ”

Previously, the Italian and French media were suspecting that the Dutch team would "release water" in the last game, and a reporter asked Basten if this was a "humiliation" of the Dutch team's professionalism, to which Basten also gave a positive answer.

'We have 23 professional players and we're going to take this game seriously, we're going to put the same amount of attention, concentration and intensity into the game as we did in the first two games, and we're going to prepare for this game the same.'

With all 23 players in the Dutch squad currently healthy, this is another "luxury" option for Basten, who once again stressed that the Dutch team will take this game "seriously" and field the strongest squad so far.

'We're going to take this game seriously, our players are all professionals, and I'm going to play with the best squad from our team.'

However, Basten also revealed that there is a "may" change in the Dutch line-up tomorrow, and as for how much of a change, it will be known until the game starts.

Van Basten's approach to the game was the focus of concern, but there is no doubt that in the face of the back-to-back format of the cup competition, he opted to rest the main players like other teams that qualified early, with the exception of Bolaruz and Ngral, the other nine players were all non-starters from the previous game against France, and even the goalkeeper was changed from Van der Sar to Stekelenburg.

In the opening stages of the game, Romania launched a strong attack in order to completely secure a place in the qualification, but after three boards, it was the Dutch team who used their midfield and full-backs to control the situation.

The Dutchman opened the scoring for Romania early in the second half, in a classic wide cross, with left-back De Kle passing the ball to Robben, who shifted the ball wide to the feet of right-back Afelai, who took a few steps and crossed to Ngral in the middle, who adjusted to the striker Huntelaar to set up the goal.

In the other game, Italy's lead forced the Romanians to let go of the attack, but they faced a balanced three-line under pressure, and the powerful Netherlands could not control the situation, but were scored again by the Dutch team before the end.

Although Van Basten came on as a substitute, his 451 all-attack and all-defensive tactics remained the same, and the Romanian's strong assault on the flanks and breakthrough ability in the middle made the Romanian helpless.

In this game, the Dutchman may not necessarily want to help Italy, but just play in his own way and at his own pace, and a group of substitutes will have to show their best form in order to compete for a place in the next knockout round.

In the face of opportunities, the Romanians repeated the old problem of poor psychological quality of Eastern European teams, the Czechs went out in this way, and the Poles also failed to seize the opportunity in the face of the second team of their "companion" Croatia.

"What did Romania do at this European Championship? It's all on the defensive."

After the Romanian team was eliminated, the domestic media expressed their dissatisfaction with their national team in this way.

After 90 minutes, Romania found themselves on their way home after the third game of the group, paying the price for their conservatism and carelessness.

In the first two games of the group stage, Romania won a lot of applause for their excellent defence and organisation, and against France and Italy, the Romanian defended for the sake of results, and the defensive style of play that looked for opportunities on the basis of defense worked well, and at one point made it look like he was very close to qualifying.

But that's sometimes the case, when Romania, who had relied on defense in their first two games, forgot how to attack when they needed to give it a go in the third group game.

Romania did not show aggressiveness in the 90 minutes and looked to be content with the 0-0 scoreline, not caring that the 0-0 result meant they were about to go home.

At half-time, the Romanians had only one through ball from Mutu, Rath knocked back from the left, and Cordrea's shot off the line of the penalty area looked the most threatening, and the Romanians retreated a bit when it came time to attack for victory.

There seemed to be no reason for the Romanians to retreat, as they were drawn in a group with the Dutch in qualifying, with the Romanians not only winning one and drawing one in the two games they faced each other head-to-head, but also overwhelmingly leading the Netherlands in the final result of the group in terms of goals.

The Romanian team should be familiar with the Dutchman and should have full confidence in themselves. However, Romania had five fewer shots than the Netherlands throughout the game, and it seemed that it was the Netherlands who needed a win to qualify.

If the number of shots on goal is not telling, the Romanian team did not turn the unfavorable situation on the field with an active scramble when they were obviously behind in possession, but were slowly grinding time with the Dutch team.

The fact that the scattered Romanians pinned their hopes of victory on a sneak attack probably shows what kind of mentality the Romanians are facing this life-and-death battle.

After the game, Romania were not relieved by the team's performance in the first two games, and in their opinion, the group exit was not terrible, but the attitude that the team showed in the last game.

A team that doesn't attack can still save, but a team that hasn't thought about attacking has little chance. Romania have no shortage of good attackers, but they don't have the heart to win the game.

Faced with such a result, the Romanian fans, who are fanatical about the European Cup, have been poured cold water on their heads, and the Romanian team's suicidal way of playing has made the fans disheartened.

When the dust settles, when the Romanian team looks at the results of the landslide defeat by the Dutch team, perhaps they will understand that the reason for the loss lies with themselves, Romania lost to themselves, and there are some problems with the attitude of the game, which must be changed.

Van Koldorf Stadium in Bern, where the Dutch are singing. At the Leissi Stadium in Zurich, the Italians are partying. In the fan square of the Vienna City Hall, fans of all colors are applauding the Netherlands and seeing off Henry and Mutu.

This is a death game where the group of deaths takes place, and the four teams in the game, ready to die with a bang from the start.

It's just that the Dutch cracked the life and death charm in advance, and in such a game, the enterprising, serious, and talented Dutch mastered the rules of the game, and the Dutch made the easiest choice: see who kills whom.

The Dutch's respect for the spirit of the game makes it something to look forward to.

Van Basten's Dutch team in the Group of Death, with a devastating attack to destroy two world champions in a row, and finally won all three games and scored nine goals to break into the quarterfinals, orange has become the brightest color in the group stage of this European Cup.

If you think back to the Dutch team in the qualifying stages of this European Championship, it may be difficult to link that team with the orange team that Van Basten now leads.

The Dutch team in qualifying was really underwhelming, but what really left a deep impression on people was the Orange's superior defensive ability.

However, after entering the finals, the Dutch team suddenly changed its face, not only maintaining the advantages of solid defense, but also running smoothly in attack.

Facing the Italian team, which is famous for its chain concrete defense, the Dutch team easily eliminated the opponent with three goals, and the French team, the orange team actually scored four goals, so that the two giants suffered the worst defeat in the history of the team in the European Championship finals.

In the final game, facing Romania, which had impressed in the first two rounds of defense, the Dutch team, which sent a substitute lineup, still scored a goal each from Huntelaar and Van Persie to easily get the opponent out of the situation after missing a series of good opportunities.

Nine goals, and seven different players in the orange team, shows that the Dutch team is not only sharp in attack, but also has a wide range of attacks, which undoubtedly adds to the difficulty of the opponent's defense, and in the face of such a strong orange storm, the opponents are indeed a little bit 250 against the Dutch team.

This time, it was not the king of the small penalty area, Van Nistelrooy, who was responsible for the main task of attacking the Dutch team, but Van Persie, three games, two goals, Van Persie's goals were not many, but the strength he showed on the pitch was unforgettable.

And what made Van Persie rise strongly was Van Basten's careful tuning, but just before the start of the European Cup, the old antique Cruyff of Dutch football was still criticizing Basten for making the Netherlands lose his blood, Van Basten's Dutch team will only play ugly football, let talented talented players do the hard work, but entrust some nobodies with heavy responsibilities, Van Basten seemed disdainful, and then people saw a leisurely and comfortable Dutch young coach in the European Cup, What is it like to hold the two world champions in the palm of your hand and generously give them a chance to compete fairly?

Having conquered the world with their own orange storm, this time, the Dutch told the pacifists, the eclecticists, the hypothetists, that there was still fairness in the world.

"It's not just about looking good, it's about being fair." Basten's pre-match words already showed their attitude.

They deserve to be like this, four years ago, they would not have been lucky enough to qualify from the group if it weren't for the hard work of the Czech substitutes, and this time they simply took over the baton of maintaining order.

Basten watched Huntelaar score that goal, listened to the music and betrayed his pride with his legs shaking slightly to the music.

Yes, he doesn't care, he doesn't care who the opponent is.

All he wants is victory, it's simple!

There's no need to think of the game as more complicated, it's just a win, a task that the Netherlands will have to do if they really want to win the title and really want to conquer the world.

The real king does not need the pity of others, and the same does not need to pity others, the king is ruthless, and I believe that when the players of the Dutch team take to the field, their mood is the same as that of the head coach Van Basten.

Now, they did, and the Dutch players were united in their thoughts in the post-match mix: "Now, we can't wait to take on any challenge."

The Dutch players are the most vocal because they feel it the most, and the Dutch team, the Dutch team after the Three Musketeers to be precise, has never been stronger.

Italy, France, and even Romania are all strong teams, but in front of the Netherlands, they are all in ashes.

In his post-match press conference, Dutch head coach Basten was proud of his team's performance: "I'm proud of our team, we have won three games and scored nine goals in total. We were in the group of death, but we got nine points, we scored nine goals, so I'm happy, but now we have the quarter-finals in front of us, and from our point of view we have to start from scratch and the real battle starts in the quarter-finals. ”

The strong performance of the Dutch team has justified the Orange and they will face an even tougher test after qualifying from the group, and this time, Van Basten and his disciples are ready to do better in the knockout rounds.

The victory of the Dutch team also allowed the World Cup champion Italy to escape, because of the appearance of Degan, the German World Cup final, was not between France and Italy, the old enemies, but now the battlefield has shifted to the European Cup, as if fate, the two top two for a qualifying place, and have to start a fierce competition, now everything has changed, although Italy did not snatch the Hercules Cup from the hands of the French, but took away the qualifying places.
