[Football] The Light of Abandoned Sons

Regarding the Dutch national team, perhaps many people's first idea is "infighting" because of the media's creation.Van Basten and Cruyff have different concepts, Rijkaard and I have different personalities, Basten has a flamboyant and arrogant personality, and so on.

It will always be like this, the British like to brag that all their players on the field are star-level, the Italians brag about defense first, the Argentines brag that they can carry a team by themselves, the Germans like to fire after the game...

No matter when the Dutch "bring" is always "our main players are at odds, they won't cooperate when they play, they won't cooperate".

Later, even we ourselves didn't know whether we were really fighting among ourselves, or whether the media was fooling foreigners.

For example, regarding the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands", at the same time, it is the German "Troika" composed of Matthaus, Klinsmann, and Bremmer.The whole world knows that there is discord within the "Troika", but the Germans don't care about their performance in Inter Milan, they only value their unity in the national team.The three of us in AC may perform better, but the national team will always be stabbed by our own media.

But to be honest, how can the "troika" cooperate with three people?Bremer played left back, Matthaus played midfielder and Klinsmann played center. What's more, the defenders in that era were defenders. Pass directly from the waist to the center?If that's the case, why isn't football changed to a 4-a-side sport?

There is no doubt that compared with the three of us who basically played in the frontcourt, the coordination of the German three is actually much less.What's more, Matthaus + Bremer helped Inter Milan win Serie A. After Klinsmann came, Inter Milan never won Serie A again.Doesn't this explain the problem?Although the same... I can't say that there is no gap between the three of us, or that the three of us are invincible.

Oh, by the way, I'm talking about the Dutch media - of course, the methods they can find to attack are also considered simple.People all over the world know about the hostile relationship between Ajax and Feyenoord, and although I am from Amsterdam, I started playing for Feyenoord in Rotterdam. (This is like the media loves to render Robin and Klaas at odds)

Of course, when it comes to Dutch football, I mean "football", so there has never been a lack of talent.

Belonging to Basten, Rijkaard in the 80s, or including me without shame, Kluivert, Bergkamp, ​​De Boer brothers in the 90s... If you have to say it, there is also Kluiver in the 70s yves.

I'm not saying Cruyff wasn't a genius, or that he didn't do much for Holland.It's just... Just like even though I was fighting for the Netherlands, the favorite in Amsterdam was Basten and not me, many of Cruyff's ideas did affect world football, but the Dutch in football thought first It will never be him.

Everyone knows that Cruyff advocates Total Attack and Total Defense, so they naturally understand why Basten is not liked by him even though he is his apprentice.Basten is a center forward, so he is a center forward. He has good shooting skills but is unwilling to defend, while Rijkaard is different.

Since the thinking is divergent, I may also say that there are many goalkeepers in the Netherlands.Although it can be said that there are no top goalkeepers, there are indeed many good goalkeepers.For example, Van der Gou, who used to be a substitute for Schmeichel at Manchester United, De Goyer, the starting goalkeeper of Chelsea when I was coaching Chelsea, Van der Sar, the starting goalkeeper of the Dutch national team of Ajax...

In this way, looking at the substitute list outside Manchester United's starting list for the Charity Shield, and seeing the name of the substitute goalkeeper named Lou van der Ley, I couldn't help being startled.Everyone knows that Schmeichel is about to leave Manchester United due to age issues, and the Premier League has been paying attention to Ferguson's signing of the goalkeeper throughout the transfer period.As for the result?The result is here, he sent Van der Goood away, and the kid who ushered in, maybe others don't know it, but I know it, is the starting goalkeeper of the Dutch national team U19.

This is destined to be an extremely long story.

I knew it the moment I saw him at Wembley.

-

"Hello everyone, after a long holiday, the Premier League is finally about to kick off. The opponents of the 97-98 Charity Shield final are Manchester United and Chelsea. In the great Wembley Stadium, we can see it in the audience, support The fans of the two teams have already started warming up before the game." As soon as Martin Taylor finished speaking, the director showed the camera to the audience, which was already cheering before the players entered the field.

The commentary room of Sky TV, the commentator is the much-loved combination of the audience, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray.

Andy Gray looked at the starting roster in his hands, especially Schmeichel, who was the starting goalkeeper, and sighed loudly on purpose, "Look, the managers of these Premier League teams always don't let us do what we want."

Martin Taylor understands his partner's intentions, "First of all, let me explain the starting players of this game, and then I will explain what Andy just said to you. For Manchester United, the goalkeeper is the Danish veteran Schmeichel. The defense line Irvine, Neville, Johansen, Giggs, Scholes and Keane in midfield, up front, the new signing Sheringham started, it seems that Ferguson thinks he has integrated into the Manchester United team."

"As for Chelsea, Gullit did not appear on the stage as a coach. Veteran Zola quickly integrated into the team after moving from Parma to Chelsea during the winter break last season. We all remember that their Chelsea won the FA Cup from Manchester United last season after 32 years."

"Poyet, the core of the Uruguayan national team they have transferred from Tottenham Hotspur this season, has not played, but the midfield led by Di Matteo, Wise and Petrescu should not be underestimated." Di Gray looked at the lineup and said, "But this should be a wonderful scene. Chelsea captain Wise is known for his fierceness in the Premier League, and Manchester United's new captain Roy Keane is also the same. It looks like it will be an extremely test of the referee's control. A powerful ball game."

"That depends on the importance of the Charity Shield in the minds of the two teams." Martin Taylor said, "But obviously, even if it is not very important to Ferguson, he has no plans to train."

Andy Gray disagreed, "But obviously Ferguson is going to play the new signing Sheringham... oh you mean the goalkeeper? Oh enough Martin, if Ferguson puts a kid in this game, Our 'braided guy' probably interpreted it as disrespect for himself."

"Maybe Gullit will be happy for the newcomers in the Netherlands?" Martin joked.

……

Amidst the nonsense of the commentators, the players lined up to play.Lao van der Ley looked at David Beckham who was sitting next to him with a look of astonishment, "You are not the starter, so why are you so nervous?"

Although Beckham didn't expect that he would not be the starter, he didn't think it was a big deal, "Nervous?...Are you kidding me?"

"Look at Roy and you've noticed that you're surprisingly nagging today." Aarau complained, looking at Gullit on the other side of the coach's bench.Beckham followed the child's line of sight and saw Luther Gullit, a Chelsea player with the title of coach, one of the Dutch Three Musketeers, and a unique hairstyle known as "braided handsome".

"So, among the Dutch Three Musketeers, Gullit is the one you admire the most?" Before the boss was seated, the two continued to chat.

"Although not...but why do you have a questioning tone?" Arao felt a little weird after denying it.

"It's obvious, isn't it? You pursue beauty and art, right? So you should admire Basten and Bergkamp?"

"Aha, 'Flying Dutchman' and 'Flying Dutchman'?"

Beckham looked at his brilliant smile and sat upright when the game was about to start, "So, actually, it's not because you're nervous, is it?"

Lao van der Ley took a deep breath, looked at the green field in front of him, and the running players, "I just never thought that my first top-level competition would be the Premier League."

He just never thought that the first top team he really played for was not Real Madrid.

"Cruyff, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, ​​Kluivert, all from Amsterdam, all from Ajax...and me, I'm not targeting Ajax , I just don't want to be in Amsterdam."

This is the prologue, and our story, about the Dutch teenager, is about to begin in earnest.

The author has something to say:

...Many people may think that I am a bit nagging when they see this, but when I write about my Netherlands, I can't help explaining what I think of the "Dutch Three Musketeers" and "German Troika"...Since my favorite It is the Netherlands.

Regarding Cruyff, there is such a saying that Cruyff belongs to the world, not the Netherlands; Cruyff is a Catalan, not a Dutchman.

Basten's nickname is "The Flying Dutchman" because his header is freehand, just like flying; Bergkamp is not only called the "Ice Prince", but also the "Dutchman who can't fly"... because Have a fear of flying.
