Goalkeepers are still stable and outstanding in the game. toldo Starr, Cannavaro and Materazzi played the third central defender in a row. Zambrotta and paolo maldini were separated on the left and right sides, and albertini and Dibiagiototti were in the middle of the back. Aure swam around and directed the front line. vieri was in front of the single arrow, while Inzaghi, who is currently tied with Kluivitt and Milosevic at the top of the scorer list, sat on the bench.
After seeing Italy’s starting lineup, the tactical intention of the old Maldini is naturally obvious, that is, the old coach intends to curb the Dutch crazy attack by strengthening the defense in the middle and back court! In particular, the most powerful impact of the Orange Legion will be greatly contained in the face of Italy’s secret defense!
After all, among these frontcourt players in the Netherlands, one is Kluiwitt, who has both strength and speed. Others such as Marc overmars and Bergkamp, although they have their own strengths, are not good at breaking secrets. Therefore, if Italy actively shrinks its defense line and compresses the activities of Dutch players in the game, the host country’s offensive is bound to encounter no small difficulties!
Coupled with Totti and others’ precision ball and vieri’s strong oneonone defense ability, Italy was looked down upon before the game, and there was no chance to beat the number one favorite Holland.
It is true that the quarterfinal against Yugoslavia was the most beautiful match played by the Netherlands in this European Cup. Rijkaard is also very busy. A head coach gave full play to the advantages of the Dutch team in terms of impact and speed. It can be said that the Black Swan contributed a lot to the Netherlands’ ability to reach the semifinal of the European Cup. Just as the players of both sides stepped on the court, Zhuang Ge was telling Karin and Groz, who were sitting next to him, about this game. View of the game But now, although this Dutch team is strong, there are strong players on all three lines, and the tactics are quite right, Rijkaard is still inexperienced in coaching after all. He made a very serious mistake before this game! And this mistake is enough to ruin all the hopes of the Netherlands to move forward in the European Cup!
Chapter 956 Competition
Oh? When Zhuang Ge said this, Karin obviously thought of something from his words. Tony, do you mean that the Netherlands exposed too much strength and cards to other opponents in a game against Yugoslavia, so that most of its tactical routines were thoroughly studied by other teams and some hidden problems and shortcomings were completely exposed?
Exactly, said Zhuang Ge, who was naturally very happy to see Karin understand her meaning at once. Although the Netherlands won a hearty victory in the battle with Yugoslavia, we were exposed to so much in that game! I’m even a little skeptical about Rijkaard’s current tactical board and whether there are any extra offensive routines! If there is nothing to hum … then he can hope that these players in the frontcourt will have an epiphany today!
Speaking of this, Zhuang Ge smiled maliciously at the two old Maldini events and the degree of enthusiasm. In previous games, Rijkaard made those offensive routines and tactical styles. It would be strange if the old coach did not analyze them and make targeted arrangements.
In fact, if a team wants to go further in international competitions, they must prepare enough cards in case of emergency. After all, if all the cards and advantages and disadvantages of a team are clearly touched by its opponents, then the team is not far from losing.
Now the Netherlands is just such a team. Although it has a group of talented players who are at the peak of their careers, it shows its strength to its opponents prematurely! This time, Holland’s opponent Italy is a team that is good at arranging the layout according to the characteristics of the opponent and then grasping the weakness of the other side!
Although for a team like Holland, which has a lot of talented and spiritual stars, the fixed tactical routine is not the strength of their department, and several stars are also the ones who come to break the deadlock and keep the tracks, to be honest, there is no such thing as inspiration all the time, and it must not be regarded as a conventional weapon, and that notstable defense line is also the fatal injury of Holland all the time.
For Italy, who choose to focus on defensive counterattack tactics in the game, the key to win or lose the game lies in whether they can resist the Dutch offensive and then Li vieri, a super center, will tear up the fragile defense line of the other side!
After all, why the Netherlands has played in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, two cities not far away, while we in Italy have to go back and forth between Belgium and the Netherlands? Little Groz, who was more interested in some offcourt things, was puzzled and asked, Although the host country has home court advantage, isn’t it a bit disgusting to arrange the schedule like this?
Well, this is a normal situation. Zhuang Ge shrugged his shoulders and said with his hands spread out. Whether it is the European Cup or the World Cup host taking advantage of the schedule, it is everyone’s default.
How these hosts are such a virtue? One by one, they are thinking about taking advantage of the schedule and creating all kinds of troubles and inconveniences for their opponents. Little Groz pursed her mouth and complained with some dissatisfaction. She didn’t remember being called a mobile nightmare by her peers in the financial and investment fields. She didn’t complain that others were blackqualified.
When I heard Groz complaining about Zhuang Ge, I smiled and said that it was worse than you have ever seen. Let’s not just say that the disgusting things in the previous World Cup in Korea and Japan were the disintegration of the former Soviet national team. Their World Cup tour was simply a history of blood and tears, and all kinds of black whistles and biased whistles emerged one after another. That was an eyeopener
Now let’s take a look at the Dutch starting list. Like his former Hiddink, Rijkaard is also the main body of Ajax’s 95 golden generation to build the main team. Of course, Ajax was born in the black swan and did a better job in this respect than Hiddink.
In this game, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar didn’t say much. In addition to Stam and Boswell, Frank De Boer and Van Bronckhorst had worked together in Ajax. In the midfield five, Koku and Zenden are Eindhoven Overmars, Bergkamp and Davis are all from Ajax. The forward line was always a Kluivitt day before Ruud van Nistelrooy became famous in the restricted area.
That is to say, among the 11 starting players of the Dutch team, four players have never played in Ajax, which shows Ajax’s dominant position in Dutch football at this time.
It is understandable to think that Rijkaard would rely so much on Ajaxborn players. After all, Ajax is the easiest faction for Rijkaard to control. You know, Black Swan worked with these players at the end of his career and their big brother led them to win the last Champions League in Ajax’s history!
It is with this layer that Jakard can take Davis, who once bothered Hiddink, to himself, and at the same time avoid a disgraceful deed of Dutch football in international competitions. For the star Yun Orange Legion, a big drama will be played every competition, and many fans will guess which Dutch star will make a mess in this competition before the competition.
It can be said that frequent training has greatly dragged down the achievements of the Orange Legion in international competitions. You should know that Ajax players build a team. The Netherlands not only belongs to the top in Europe in strength, but also has a tacit understanding of the team, which is better than other opponents! If only the Dutch international players could unite, they would have taken off the crown hat worn in the first few decades!
At this time, the players of both sides were already in their own good positions in the halfcourt. When the referee Merck of Germany saw it and looked at it again, he blew his whistle to declare the game official!
Chapter 957 San toldo’s coming again (1)
Although it can be seen from the starting lineup of both sides that the two teams adopted strategies in this game, the performance of Italian players after the game once again refreshed people’s understanding of Italian football!
“Ohmygod!” This is the most frequent sentence said by the commentator of Sky TV five minutes after the game. It seems that we still don’t know enough about the Italian moral integrity and limits to return that coach Maldini is going to play a defensive counterattack in this game. Judging from the current situation, this semifinal may become a halftime offensive and defensive drill between the Netherlands and Italy!
Yes, although people always have the impression that Italian football is reinforced concrete defense and unpredictable quick counterattack, no one expected that old Maldini would disregard the socalled giants in this highly anticipated semifinal, and let the sports players retreat from the first line of the game and put on an iron bucket array in his own half. It was like a posture of trying to defend himself!
Dutch players who have home court advantage in the face of Italy’s shrinking defense also feel a little tricky, because although they are good at attacking, their advantage lies in speed and impact, and their ability to grasp opportunities and break secrets is quite average. However, Italy’s iron bucket array, which is derived from two sets of theories based on chain defense and regional defense, may cause them enough trouble if the opponent is Barcelona’s main team, which is the most afraid of breaking through the main opponent.
Although it is not a problem for these Dutch players to play attacking football with flowing skills and offensive talent, they have a number of outstanding wingers such as Marc Overmars, Zenden and Ronald De Boer, but they have actively weakened this link. Bergkamp and others are more responsible for distributing the ball, grabbing the point and the last one.
So after the game, although from the scene, Italy was suppressed by the host and could defend awkwardly in the halfcourt, the actual eye could see that the Dutch team’s attack was heavy rain and little rain. In most cases, the orange team’s attack was felt by the players before it was pushed into the Italian restricted area
This is also a difficult thing. After all, no matter which team finds that its three or four attacking players are less faced with each other’s adult chasing and intercepting, it will have this feeling of strength.
Although Zhuang Ge has been emphasizing the importance of running and attacking and defending since she entered Florence, Viola’s rule over European football has also greatly promoted the development of European football. However, the running distance of most players in this era is generally not as terrible as it was ten years later, and there are only a few players who can run more than 10 thousand meters in a game.
Holland is one of these teams that haven’t realized the importance of running!
Therefore, in this situation, the Dutch player hopes to score goals on Kluiwitt and keeps giving him the ball, hoping that he can rely on his own personal ability to penetrate the Italian defense and break the embarrassing situation that the eyes are tied.
At this time, Kluivert swore at his teammates in his heart. Although he can be pulled out of the restricted area to launch an attack, he is confident in his ability, but that doesn’t mean he can pick three! Even if there is a Bergkamp to help him, he will have to face two Italian defenders!
So it is difficult for Starr and Cannavaro to keep an eye on Kluiwitt, let alone finish shooting.
Seeing that the attack hit the wall again and again, I realized that it was too difficult to break through the Italian defense from the front. The flexible Dutch player couldn’t help but use his crooked brain. In the 23rd minute, Cannavaro fouled Bergkamp while defending, and Merck awarded the Netherlands a setpiece ball.
However, while Italian players and Merck were theorizing about Cannavaro’s foul, Bergkamp kicked the ball out before the referee whistled, and then quickly pushed it along the left sideline. At this time, Cannavaro, albertini and Zambrotta were still gathered around the referee, and it was impossible to prevent them from coming back! The man defended Zenden and took the ball into the penalty area. Stahl made a tackle from the middle but didn’t touch anything!
I don’t know if my mind is too flexible. At this good time, Zenden played the role of Xiao Cong and was shoveled to the ground by Starr with the intention of cheating a penalty. However, Merck saw through Zenden’s abacus and decisively punished Zenden for diving and showed him a yellow card.
In this way, due to Zenden’s death, Italy narrowly escaped!
The Dutch sneak attack almost scared him of a heart attack. Old Maldini stormed on the sidelines and yelled at his son and team captain, Little Maldini, to stop pestering the referee about the penalty. Paul! Focus on defense! Don’t let me wake you up again!
However, many people didn’t think that it didn’t seem to play much role because it wasn’t long before the Italian player made a second mistake in the game!
In the thirtyninth minute of the halfcourt, Starr, who has always been a steady image, made a major mistake! When he was preparing to catch the ball in the restricted area, he accidentally reached out and pulled the opponent to the ground without touching the ball!
Seeing that the evidence was conclusive, Merck decisively awarded the Dutch team a penalty and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the penalty. toldo also yelled at himself and showed a yellow card!
oh! The Netherlands won a penalty! After watching the offensive and defensive drills of both sides for dozens of minutes, the commentator couldn’t help but get excited and shouted into the microphone, This is the best chance for the host to break the deadlock. If they can rely on this penalty, the situation Italy will face will become quite troublesome!
It’s true that Italy is a headache for many teams, but if we can score goals first in the game, then this tactic of Italy will be flawedafter all, defensive counterattack requires both sides to be at the same starting line or their own leading situation, so who will be stupid to choose defensive counterattack if the opponent’s score is dominant?
It was Dutch captain Frank De Boer who was responsible for the penalty kick. He saw the Barcelona centreback as a runup and then started to push the right corner of the goal!
At this time, toldo showed his superhuman reflex speed and goalkeeping skills in front of the world fans. At the moment when he shot the ball in Delport, he was already ready. toldo immediately rushed to his left to block Delport’s inevitable shot and saved the ball from the bottom line!
