PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

After Bosvelt's penalty was saved by Toldo, and the Netherlands lost 1-3 to Italy in the penalty shootout, the Italian players were naturally ecstatic, unable to hold back their excitement, they rushed to the team's biggest hero in this semi-final, and also Italy's main goalkeeper in this European Cup, Francesco Toldo from Fiorentina!

It is true that Italy were able to defeat the Netherlands, who were extremely strong in attack this evening, and Nesta and Cannavaro were also indispensable, but no one can deny that Toldo played a decisive role in this victory! If it weren't for his high and low blocks, as well as the amazing play of blocking the opponent's six penalties before and after, I am afraid that Italy would not have achieved the feat of knocking out the Netherlands!

Therefore, immediately after the penalty shootout, the Italian players expressed their gratitude to the number one contributor Toldo!

"I'll it! Christian, what do you want to do...... Don't be like this, put me down quickly! Caught off guard, Toldo was lifted up by the strong Vieri and others, vaguely aware that something was wrong, his face that was originally full of joy suddenly changed color, and he shouted in a panic, "Hey! If one of you doesn't catch me and hurts me, then who's going to be the goalkeeper for you in the European Championship final in two days' time! ”

Toldo's words did not work as well as they should, and Vieri and others, who were on the rise, apparently did not listen to other objections. So, in the exclamation of Toldo, the Italian players led by Vieri threw Toldo high into the air, causing a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene!

Looking at the hosts, who had the upper hand in terms of shots and possession, but ultimately lost, although the Kluiverts were unwilling, they did not have any conflicts with the Italian players after the game, let alone do stupid things such as deliberately pouring cold water on the opponent by taking advantage of home advantage. After a week around the pitch and waving to the Dutch fans who had come to their backing of them, the Dutch players, who had nothing to do and were unwilling to stay on the pitch to watch their opponents celebrate, returned to the dressing room first.

After hugging Vieri and Nesta and other club teammates, Stam sighed and turned and walked into the tunnel of players. Having reached the semi-finals at the World Cup two years ago and at this year's European Championships, the Dutch defender was still a little uncomfortable. You must know that these two years are the peak of Ajax's golden generation, if you can't achieve any honors at the national team level at this time, then the future days can be imagined.

For Stam, who has already won the honour at club level, lifting a heavyweight trophy for the national team is his last wish.

Compared to the fierce confrontation between the two teams in the game, the post-match press conference can be described as a congenial mess. Naturally, the Dutch media will not rub salt on the wounds of their national team at this time, let alone be unreasonable enough to ask the old Maldini whether it is a kind of anti-football to put on such an iron bucket formation in the game - Italy has been playing defensive counterattacks for decades, and you can't force the opponent to give up what they are best at, so they have to play against you in the game, right? What kind of robber logic is this!

And the Italian media who did not fall to Rijkaard also have their considerations, after all, this is the home stadium of the Dutch, and the final will also be played in the Netherlands, if it is too arrogant now and the result makes the Dutch side unhappy, then the other party will secretly stumble on Italy, which is not something that the Italians want to see.

As a result, with the tacit cooperation of the media of both sides, the press conference came to an end in a harmonious atmosphere.

After the winner of the battle between the Netherlands and Italy, the result of the semi-final and the events that took place in the match quickly spread throughout European football with the spread of the media and fans. While people applauded the brilliant clash between the two teams, they were also privately shocked by the Dutch's bizarre penalty dribble.

So, after this semi-final, many experts and media began to analyze the reasons why the Netherlands repeatedly fell on penalties.

Some people believe that the reason why the Netherlands has repeatedly lost on penalties is mainly because the psychological elements of these players are not up to par, and they can't withstand the huge mental pressure brought by the penalty kicks, and they think that although this group of players in the Netherlands is first-class in terms of technology, their poor psychological quality will be the biggest obstacle to their progress towards the championship!

There are also many people who believe that the reason why the Netherlands will be eliminated by Italy is entirely because of Toldo's supernatural performance. After all, Toldo saved a total of six penalties in this game (although two of them were not strictly saved by Toldo, but they are also included in the statistics), plus those wonderful goalmouth saves, so in the eyes of this part of the people, the Netherlands have actually played quite well, and they were eliminated because they were too unlucky, and they just happened to meet a tholdor who was in great form.

Of course, there are many people who are not afraid of big things just to watch the excitement. When interviewed, most of these people will use a ridiculous tone to evaluate the Dutch team's performance on penalties, claiming that all clubs with Dutch players in the team should pay attention in the future and must not let them take penalties!

There are even some fans who joked that when many teams meet Barcelona on the pitch in the future, it is estimated that there is a very likely interesting phenomenon that they would rather give the Catalan army a penalty than prevent the opponent from scoring directly, because the current Barcelona is formed with the "Dutch Gang" as the main body!

While there were different opinions about the reasons for the Orange's penalty nightmare, an official message from the Dutch Football Federation forced them to suspend the discussion for the time being - after friendly negotiations between the two sides, Rijkaard will resign as head coach of the Dutch national team and find another job!

'Frank [Rijkaard] is a great player and he's also a great manager and we thank him for his huge contribution to Dutch football over the past two years." At the press conference, the president of the Dutch Football Association said with emotion, "Although we very much hope that Frank can lead the national team to continue to achieve new glory, it is regrettable that Frank himself insists that he is to blame for the team's defeat in the semi-finals of the European Championship, so we had to agree to his request for termination." ”

In this way, Rijkaard became the first manager to announce the resignation of the 16 teams participating in this European Cup!
