"Oh?" Hearing Zhuang Mingge say this, Karin's eyes flickered, obviously thinking of something from his words, "Tony, do you mean that when the Netherlands played against Yugoslavia in the last game, they exposed too much strength and hole cards to other opponents, causing most of their tactical routines to be studied and eaten by other teams, and some of the problems and deficiencies that were originally hidden were also completely exposed?" ”
"Absolutely." Seeing that Karin immediately understood what she meant, Zhuang Mingge was naturally very happy and said, "Although we won a hearty victory in the contest with Yugoslavia, the Netherlands exposed too many things about us in that game!" I'm even a little skeptical that Rijkaard has any extra offensive routines on his current board! If not, hum...... Then in today's game, he can only hope for the flash of inspiration from these players in the front court! ”
Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge laughed maliciously twice. With the skills and tactics of the old Maldini, the attacking routines and tactical play that Rijkaard used in the first few games, it would be strange if the old coach did not analyze them and make targeted arrangements.
In fact, if a team wants to go far in international competitions, they must have enough hole cards in case they need it. After all, if all the cards and strengths and weaknesses of a team are clearly understood by its opponents, then the team is not far from losing.
And now the Netherlands is exactly such a team. Although it has a group of talented players who are at the peak of their careers, it has prematurely shown its full strength to its opponents! And the Netherlands' opponent this time, Italy, is a team that is good at laying out according to the characteristics of the opponent, and then seizing the opponent's weaknesses to chase and fight!
Although for a team like the Netherlands with a lot of talented players with a lot of spirit, the fixed tactical routine is not all they have, and the momentary inspiration of several stars is also a repertoire they use to break the deadlock on the pitch. But let's be honest, inspiration is not always available, it should never be treated as a conventional weapon, and that not very solid backline has always been the Achilles of the Netherlands.
Therefore, for Italy, which chose to focus on defensive counter-attacking tactics in the game, the key to determining the outcome of the game is whether they can withstand the Dutch attack, and then use Vieri, a super center forward, to tear apart the opponent's fragile backline!
"Then why is it that the Netherlands have only played in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, which are not far away, while we in Italy have to go back and forth between Belgium and the Netherlands?" Grosz, who was more interested in some off-field matters, asked with some doubts, "Although the host country has a home advantage, it's a bit disgusting to arrange the schedule like this, right?" ”
"Well, that's normal." Zhuang Mingge shrugged his shoulders absently, spread his hands, and said, "Whether it is the European Cup or the World Cup, it is everyone's default for the host to take advantage of the schedule. ”
"Why are these hosts so virtuous? One by one, they are trying to take advantage of the schedule, and at the same time, they have to create all kinds of troubles and inconveniences for their opponents. Little Groz pursed his lips and grumbled with some dissatisfaction. I don't remember that in the field of finance and investment, she was privately called a mobile nightmare by her peers, and she was not qualified to complain about other people's black hands at all.
Hearing Little Groz's complaints, Zhuang Mingge just smiled slightly, and said in his heart that you haven't seen anything more negative, not to mention the disgusting things in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan in the previous life, just talk about the former Soviet national team before the disintegration, their World Cup journey is simply a history of blood and tears, all kinds of black whistles and partial whistles emerge in endlessly, that is called an eye-opener.
Now let's take a look at the starting list of the Netherlands, like his predecessor Guus Hiddink, Rijkaard also built the main lineup with Ajax's 95 golden generation as the main body. Of course, the black swan from Ajax has gone further than Hiddink in this regard.
In this game, for example, goalkeeper Van der Sar did not say much, in addition to Stam and Bosvelt at the back, Frank De Boer and Van Bronckhorst had worked together at Ajax; In the midfield five, Cocu and Zenden are from PSV Eindhoven, while Overmars, Bergkamp and Davies are all from Ajax; Up front, before Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the penalty area, became famous, the Orange's forward line was always Kluivert's world.
In other words, only four of the starting eleven of the Dutch team have not played for Ajax, which shows the dominance of Ajax in Dutch football at this time.
If you think about it, it's understandable that Rijkaard would rely so heavily on players from Ajax. After all, the Ajax faction is arguably Rijkaard's easiest faction to control. You know, Black Swan worked with these players for a while at the end of their career, and as their big brother, they led the team to win the most recent Champions Cup in the history of the Ajax team!
It was with this relationship that Rijkaard was able to take Davies, the thorn in the eye that had troubled Hiddink, and at the same time avoid a not-so-glorious deed of Dutch football at international competitions - for the star-studded orange team, it is already their repertoire to stage a drama of infighting every tournament, and many fans will even speculate before the game about which Dutch star will cause some trouble in this tournament.
Suffice it to say, frequent infighting has greatly dragged down the Orange's results in international competitions. You must know that the Netherlands, which is based on Ajax players, not only belongs to the top in Europe in terms of strength, but also significantly higher than other opponents in terms of team tacit understanding! So, if these Dutch internationals could have united, they would have been able to take off the hat of the uncrowned king that has been on their heads for decades!
By this time, the players of both sides were already in their respective halves. Seeing this, the referee of this game, German Merck, looked at the time again, and then blew the whistle in his mouth to announce the official start of the game!
