Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1282
The main focus of the Dutch team's preparations for this semi-final is to study their opponents.

After all, the World Cup is coming to an end, and there is nothing to adjust your own state. Strengthening training will only increase the burden. It is more practical to study your opponents and make targeted deployments.

Regarding the personnel of the Chinese team, Guo Xuantu was originally a dark move, but it was exposed when he played against England in the quarter-finals. Regardless of whether Situ Yunbing brought Guo Xuantu on a temporary basis when he went to the World Cup, he did at the critical moment. He has made great contributions to the team, and in the eyes of his opponents, he has planned for a long time, and it is determined that the legendary young coach has a trump card hidden under his hands.

After the main attack group injured three people and couldn't make it to the stage, Guo Xuantu was naturally the key target of the Dutch team's blockade, so he wouldn't be given more space to play.

In particular, there is basically no room for Guo Xuantu to connect and cooperate with his teammates.

The Dutch team's offense was relatively monotonous and not lethal.

Depay and Belwijn have excellent personal dribbling abilities, but in terms of technical and tactical levels, they still tend to fight alone. It is difficult to produce such an exquisite cooperation with their teammates to create enough surprises for the Chinese team.

De Jong, Deruen and Van den Beek are still in the frontcourt of the Chinese team to pass the organization most of the time. Except for De Roon's occasional threat of killing to the front of the penalty area, De Jong and Van den Beek performed well. They are still very cautious, after all, they also have the heavy responsibility of assisting the defense of the backcourt on their shoulders.

The pace of the game was not fast. The two teams seized the opportunity to play fast breaks as much as possible, and passed two more balls when there was no good opportunity. It seemed that the quality of the game was not high.

The ranking of the final results of football games is a pyramid, but the level of excitement is not necessarily so, especially in big competitions, because the teams are more cautious as they go to the back, and both sides are afraid of losing!
The atmosphere at the Sports City Stadium is always frenzied. After all, it is the semi-finals of the World Cup. The participation of the fans is very high and the interest is always high.

In the 21st minute of the game, Belwijn received a pass from Druen on the right side of the penalty area and directly kicked and shot Shen Jingjie.

The football flew straight above the near corner of the goal, and Shen Jingjie made a wonderful save after moving two steps quickly to the bottom line!
All the Chinese fans cheered, but Situ Yunbing's expression remained unchanged on the sidelines.

In fact, the Chinese team's offensive opportunities in this game seem to be more than the previous one, because England's offensive was more ferocious in the last game, making the Chinese team's large forces defend most of the time.

But in this game, the Chinese team's offensive level is orderly. Huang Bozhou and He Haolai work together to ensure the offensive organization. There are no unexpected rhythm changes and amazing passes, but they can definitely let the Chinese team's offense hit the front line smoothly. .

But the problem is that after the Chinese team's offense hit the front line, the Dutch team basically adopts a static defense. They don't need to be so strong and active in running coverage. Basically, it is not a big problem to defend the Chinese team's players one-on-one.

Especially if the offense is launched from the right, Huang Zichang is like a child who has been bullied by adults in front of Blind.

Although Guo Xuantu seems to be in control of the ball on the left side, and sometimes makes some fancy breakthroughs and escapes, but it is difficult to step into the [-]-yard fan-shaped area in front of the goal!
And it is impossible for him to have a connection with Wu Lei.

The goal is too obvious!

The Dutch team advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup relying on defense. I have to say that they are very lucky, because they do not have a strong offense, and whether they can win the game often depends on luck.

It can only be said that the Dutch team, which has been almost invincible in this World Cup, is indeed hard-fated!
Situ Yunbing's goal in this game is actually very clear. Under the premise of playing defensive and counterattack tactics, there is no hidden killer move on the offensive end. What kind of cards, and what kind of cards are the opponents.

If the Dutch team can have the patience to deal with the Chinese team to the end, even if they are evenly matched and end up peacefully, then everyone will stand in the roulette penalty shootout to see whose life is tougher!
All in all, the opponents that the defensive and counterattack teams are most afraid of encountering are not strong teams holding high the banner of offensive football, but they are afraid of encountering their peers, and their weaknesses will not be exposed tactically. If anyone can't hold back, then the defensive and counterattack tactics will naturally fail. Whether the desperate party can turn things around or dig their own grave depends on the final result of the on-the-spot performance.

Depay and Belwyn rushed to make a fuss in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, but naturally they overestimated their own abilities, and ended up hitting a wall everywhere and returned without success.

Ronald Koeman frowned slightly on the sidelines, but he was not in a hurry.

In fact, every game of the Dutch team made him tremble with fear. After all, most of the opponents played more exciting offensively than the Dutch team. In the past 20 years, there were not many teams that could play better offensively than the Dutch team. That is, in the last 15 years, after Van Marwijk took charge of the Dutch team, the style of the Dutch team has undergone essential changes. In 2010, the Dutch team won the World Cup runner-up. Four years later, Van Gaal led the team. The Dutch team did not play well, but they entered the semi-finals of the World Cup. In the last World Cup, the Dutch team was absent.

The Dutch team also didn't play very well in this competition, but their record is very good. This is obviously a slap in the face for many idealists.

Competitions also often have such characteristics. Those who play well may go home earlier, while those who play ugly can pass the test.

So even if the Dutch team's offense is inefficient and threatening, Ronald Koeman will not be anxious to get angry at all. If he would be anxious because of this, then the Dutch team would have gone home early.

It can only be said that this is a very normal but flat reaction.

He expects the team to change the offensive model.

Obviously, in the absence of a Zhengyin center, it is not realistic for the Dutch team to make waves in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

So he gestured to the players in the frontcourt of the team to strengthen the long shot!
Penetration attack forget it.

If you don't have that strength, don't force it.

After his adjustment, the Dutch team began to launch long-range firing.

In the 31st minute of the game, Deruen took a long shot from a position about 30 yards away from the goal. Although the football hit the goal, Shen Jingjie was well prepared because the distance was too far. After moving, he used the standard saving posture to confiscate the ball .

This kind of performance made the fans of the Chinese team feel at ease. It seems that the Dutch team is not a threat!

Sometimes the content of football games is not inscrutable.

A simple comparison of the attack groups of the Dutch team and the England team can draw conclusions at a glance.

Sancho Gastlin's winger combination is definitely stronger than the combination of Depay and Belwyn no matter whether you look at it horizontally or vertically. What's more, the England team still has a center forward to contain the Chinese team's defense.

Even though the Dutch team's midfield organization ability seems to be stronger than England's Barkley alone.

But regardless of the ability of De Jong and Van den Beek to penetrate the penalty area, at least their defensive awareness and technical and tactical responsibilities prevent them from shining on the offensive end. But the position in the team is not high. Simply put, he is not the core. If he can have the status of Sneijder in the Dutch team back then, I am afraid that the offensive strength of the Dutch team can be improved a little bit.

But it is a pity that whether it is the rebellious Depay, Belgwijn who is based in the Premier League, or De Jong who is working hard in Barcelona next to him, Deruen is already in the lower ranks in terms of fame.

Ronald Koeman once betrayed his relatives in Ajax, so he has become very cautious when dealing with the relationship within the team. Even if he intends to support Druen to become the core, he still has to worry about the faces of others. Also common.

The most important point is that it may not be possible to bring the Dutch team's offensive strength to a higher level by righting Deruen. It is true that there is an improvement, but it may not be reborn.

The less trouble, the better.

In fact, the reason why Koeman's mentality is so Buddhist is that the results of the Dutch team have exceeded expectations.

Originally, the Dutch team's offensive power was weak, and the outside world predicted that the Dutch team would be able to enter the quarter-finals, but they did not expect to go all the way to the semi-finals.

Although people go to high places and are not easy to be satisfied, now Delong Wangshu is naturally looking forward to entering the finals, but everyone knows that no matter if it is the Chinese team or the Dutch team, even if they fall here and go home, they can still hold their heads high with full glory.

Koeman is really not afraid of losing to the Chinese team, so naturally there is not much pressure.

With Martino and Southgate at the back, Mexico and England are at the forefront. If such a Chinese team eliminates the Netherlands, it is reasonable for the Netherlands to not end up being criticized.

What ranking the congenitally deficient Dutch team can get in the end, after reaching the quarterfinals, it is no longer something they can do by themselves.

The right time, the right place, and a little luck are indispensable.

Coman has no need to fight against fate, let alone compete with himself.

There have been ups and downs in coaching for more than 20 years. If you still can't see through this layer, it's really useless.

Therefore, the Dutch team does their part well, and it is only their duty to work hard, and it will come naturally if they can go further.

The Dutch team changed their style of play quite resignedly. Situ Yunbing naturally couldn't know what Koeman was thinking, and he couldn't be sure whether the opponent would keep the second half before breaking the boat.

On the contrary, he also wanted to make some improvements in response to the weak offensive situation of the Chinese team, so he gestured to Huang Zichang, asking Huang Zichang to also go to the left side and approach Guo Xuantu to cooperate. But it was obviously impossible to fly in this game, so I just played the unilateral flying wing to see the effect first.
