The day after the Dutch U21 lost, the Dutch team worked hard at home and finally beat Kazakhstan 3-1 in the second round of the European Cup qualifiers.

The first team to score in the game was Kazakhstan, a team that was still affiliated with the Asian Football Confederation before 2000. At that time, it could only barely enter the top ten in Asia, and was a marginal team in terms of both performance and influence.

Since becoming a member of UEFA, Kazakhstan's performance has been improved every few years. After joining UEFA for 20 years, it actually has the opportunity to qualify for the European Cup.

Sun Yu did not watch the Dutch team's game, but from the half-time game he watched, combined with the data and highlights, the Dutch team's victory did not taste like a third place in the World Cup.

Only in the 18th minute of the first half, Kazakhstan scored a goal and maintained the score until the end of the first half.

Only ten minutes into the second half, head coach Siddink replaced De Jong with Huntelaar and changed the formation from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2.

The Netherlands immediately equalized the score, but they dominated the next game, not because of how strong they were, but because someone from the opponent was sent off.

Sun Yu found a very interesting problem through the lineup. Siddink did not use Depay as the left winger, but chose Lens, who played for Dynamo Kyiv.

This is indeed worth pondering. Lens played for Alkamar in the early stage of his career and won the Eredivisie championship trophy with Van Gaal.

In the next few years, Lens first transferred to PSV Eindhoven, and then chose to transfer to the Ukrainian Premier League in the golden stage of his career.

Just from the choice of transfer, it can be seen that this is a choice that lacks career planning.

In the just-concluded World Cup, Lens was also a member of the big list. After Van Gaal let him play once, he chose the latter between him and Depay.

Judging from Van Gaal's abandonment of his favorite disciple and the performance of both sides in the World Cup, Lens has no advantages over Depay in other aspects except for his age.

Depay has already started the "clearance mode" in the Eredivisie this season, and has almost become an unstoppable existence, but he did not get enough trust from Siddink.

In the midfield position, Siddink took Wijnaldum out of the starting position and chose to trust Barcelona's abandoned player Afellay.

From the later choices, the old coach Siddink was wrong in the players, and was later slapped in the face.

The next game of the Dutch team will go to Northern Europe to play against Iceland. The expedition to Northern Europe is generally not easy to play.

The recent situation of the two national teams of the Netherlands can only be said to be average, and they still rely on the old players such as Van Persie, Sneijder and Robben to fight.

The veterans are still brave enough to rush into the semi-finals in the World Cup.

The Dutch U21 is even worse, and it feels that it can no longer keep up with the rhythm of the top European youth teams.

Of course, Sun Yu can't care so much. The only thing he cares about now is whether he can beat the Italian youth team.

In the locker room, head coach Van der Rooy looked a little haggard. He had not had a good time in the past two days.

The Dutch media criticized him overwhelmingly, and everyone questioned his tactical arrangements and use of players in the game.

In the team, three players from the PSV Eindhoven gang, Rekik, Williams and Maher, joined other players to isolate him.

Maher was replaced early in the first game and felt that he had suffered a great humiliation. He openly sang against Van der Rooy on tactical issues.

Williams believed that Maher had been treated unfairly and supported Maher after the conflict between the two sides.

After the two sides had a series of conflicts, captain Rekik called his teammates together, voted to set up a team committee, and formulated the team's tactics for the next game at the meeting.

At the meeting, Sun Yu and Ligeon became members of the team committee.

Ligeon is the oldest player in this group of Ajax players and is of Surinamese descent. It makes sense for him to join the team committee in any way.

As the captain of the Ajax youth team and a powerful figure in the Dutch second division, Sun Yu's performance in the last half hour against the Italian youth team won the respect of the PSV Eindhoven gang.

The next day, the team committee summoned Van der Beck and the assistant coach to the office.

After several rounds of tension, Van der Rooy compromised after the team committee threatened to "die together" with him and agreed to most of the team committee's demands.

The team committee also compromised and allowed Van der Rooy to retain the command of the game, but the premise was that at least three team committee members agreed.

This action opened Sun Yu's eyes. Most military remonstrations in the history of mankind ended in tragedy, even inThere are few successful cases in the history of world football.

The biggest success case is the 1974 World Cup, when West Germany lost the first group match.

Captain Beckenbauer and his teammates "removed" the head coach, and then the team committee formulated tactics and finally won the World Cup.

Van der Rooy is a fanatical believer in offensive football. His philosophy is to confront the opponent no matter what kind of opponent he encounters.

But with the strength and player composition of this Dutch U21, there is almost no chance of winning against the Italian youth team.

Even the players saw this, but Van der Rooy was stubborn.

In the context of the Dutch team winning the runner-up and third place in two consecutive World Cups through defense, Dutch players generally recognized this set of tactics.

Before this game, Sun Yu was naturally selected into the starting lineup.

There is also good news for the Dutch youth team. Berardi is absent due to injury.

Before the game started, Van der Rooy tried to motivate the players, but the response he got was silence.

When they arrived at the stadium, under the encouragement of Rekik, the overall morale of the team was good.

After the game started, with the cheers of tens of thousands of home fans, the Italian youth team players did not rush to attack after the opening, but kept passing the ball in the middle and backcourt.

When the Dutch youth team took control of the ball, they retreated very deep.

Obviously, after establishing the advantage, the Italian youth team played relatively conservatively when they returned to their home court, which is the tradition of Italian football.

The ball possession of the Dutch youth team was mainly organized by Maher. With this main midfielder of Eindhoven in the lineup, the passing and control of the Dutch youth team was also smoother.

In the ninth minute, Maher picked the ball into the penalty area, and the center forward Castagno stopped the ball in the penalty area and retreated one meter against the opponent.

When another central defender came up to defend, Castagno passed the ball to El Ghazi on the right.

El Ghazi did not stop the ball and passed it directly to the back point.

Sun Yu pressed Zappacosta at the back post and pushed the ball towards the goal.

The header was powerful, but the position was a bit straight, and goalkeeper Baldi lifted it over the crossbar.

"Fuck, it didn't even go in!"

Sun Yu yelled in frustration, the header was too laggy.

But this Baldi was really awesome, the whole person was like a spring.

The Dutch youth team got two consecutive corner kicks and kicked very impressively at the beginning.

Looking back, the Italian youth team also got two shots in the next ten minutes.

Seeing that the opponent was about to gain momentum, the Dutch youth team began to pass the ball to the left frequently.

In the 21st minute, Sun Yu received the ball on the left. He accelerated as soon as he got the ball, and Zappacosta decisively made a tackle.

His tackle blocked Sun Yu's dribbling route.

Seeing that the opponent was about to intercept the ball, Sun Yu poked the ball hard at the opponent's leg.

The ball bounced up and hit Sun Yu's body, and then bounced forward.

Sun Yu seized the opportunity to catch up with the football, but before he could touch the ball, Viviani, who caught up with him, decisively shoveled Sun Yu and the ball onto the grass.

The referee awarded a free kick, but did not show a yellow card to the defending player.

Such a penalty caused dissatisfaction among the Dutch players, and everyone surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation. The Italian youth team players came up to separate the Dutch players from the referee, making it seem like the Dutch players and the referee had a conflict.

The Dutch players naturally could not suffer a loss in secret, and the two sides had a small-scale physical conflict, and the Italian players were still a little unwilling to give up.

Sun Yu could see that the Italian youth team's tactical intention today was to use every opportunity to waste time, and they obviously had targeted defense against him, and their defensive actions were much more fierce.

He looked down and saw an obvious scratch on the outside of his right shoe.

He had to be very alert, otherwise he would probably be injured.

Williams injured Berardi in the last game, and he will definitely respond in this game.

The game resumed, and two central defenders of the Dutch youth team ran into the penalty area of ​​the Italian youth team.

Center forward Castagno stood in front of goalkeeper Baldi, blocking the goalkeeper's sight.

Baldi pushed the opponent hard, but Castagno's lower body was very stable. He was worthy of being the player who was considered the second Henry at the age of 17. His ball protection skills were not inferior to the emperor.

Italian central defender Rugani wanted to use his body to squeeze Castagno out of the small penalty area. When the two were almost wrestling together, Maher took a free kick.

In the chaos, captain Rekik grabbed the first point. He pressed the defensive player and shook his head hard, and the football went straight to the middle corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Baldi's sight was blocked tightly, and it was too late when he saw the football.

Bang!Rekik's header hit the crossbar, making a loud noise.

In the chaos, another central defender Van Beek grabbed the ball in the small penalty area. He turned around and kicked the ball, hitting the defender and flying out of the penalty area.

Italy's youth team left back Biraghi immediately passed the ball to the right side of the center, and midfielder Viviani rushed forward with the ball.

At this moment, the whole stadium was filled with cheers from Italian fans.

Viviani looked up at the position of his teammates and immediately raised his leg to pass the ball.

But!

The next moment!

Sun Yu suddenly made a tackle from the side and back, his foot first touched the ball, and then knocked Viviani over the ball.

After the ball was shoveled away, Sun Yu tightened his ankle. He didn't intend to retract his leg, but he couldn't hurt himself.

With a sizzling sound, Viviani flew two meters in a strange posture, and rolled twice when he landed on the grass, and his shin guard flew one meter away.

Yellow card!

Viviani got up from the grass and rushed towards Sun Yu with an angry face.

Bazor rushed up and pushed him aside fiercely, and Ake also rushed up, and the players of both sides immediately broke out in a second wave of conflict.

Viviani showed his left calf to the referee, and his socks were cut open.

And Sun Yu showed the referee the outside of his right shoe: "It was his tackle that cut my shoe open, and when I tackled, it happened to be on his socks."

The referee was speechless. At that moment, he only saw Sun Yu tackle the football and knock Viviani down.

The yellow card had been given, and the referee signaled that the game should continue.

Sun Yu took a big advantage in this wave, and he gave Viviani a retribution in this life.

As a winger, you must never be bullied casually.

Once you are tackled, you must tackle back immediately!

After this conflict, the Italian youth team players were a little excited, and the formation involuntarily pressed forward six or seven meters.

They wanted to kill the Dutch youth team with an attack.

This was the scene that Sun Yu expected. If the opponent did not play, the Dutch youth team would always have to rely on positional warfare to score goals.

In the next ten minutes, the Italian youth team began to attack frequently, and the number of attackers increased from four to five, and sometimes even seven players attacked at the same time.

In the 31st minute, Zappacosta got the ball on the right, and the Dutch youth team players suddenly pressed high.

Zappacosta wanted to use rhythm and speed changes to pass Sun Yu, but was forced to the sideline by Sun Yu.

Zappacosta kicked the ball hard to the front court, but was intercepted by Ake's header.

After Maher got the ball, he kicked it to the left, and Sun Yu got the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

Facing Rugani who came up to defend, Sun Yu suddenly took a step sideways, and then decisively kicked the ball into the near corner with his right foot!

He had practiced this routine for five or six thousand times, and it was already quite powerful.

Critical moment!

Baldi flew to the lower left corner of the goal without hesitation!

"Go!"

Sun Yu clenched his fists, and his whole body was exerting strength.

He didn't know if Baldi could catch the ball.

Italian football really produces many goalkeepers.

Baldi, who didn't do much in the future, was so powerful!

In his sight, Baldi's right hand kept approaching the ball.

Just when the ball flew to the goal line, Baldi's fingers touched the ball.

But!

The next moment!

After the trajectory of the ball was deflected!

It still flew into the goal!

It was close!

But it counts if it goes in!

The Dutch fans in the away team's stands cheered immediately.

1:0!

Sun Yu's goal made the total score of the two rounds 2-2!

Although the Italian youth team still has the advantage of more away goals, the Dutch youth team can advance with just one more goal!

At this time, it's all about heartbeats!

Sun Yu originally wanted to rush to the sidelines and slide on his knees, but after running two steps, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

We have to strike while the iron is hot!

So he turned around and rushed to the goal, and together with Castagno, he snatched the ball from Rugani.

Comfortable!

Finally opened a business in the Dutch youth team!

The game started again, and the Italian players suddenly short-circuited Sun Yu's feeling.

The Dutch youth team players decisively launched a press in the middle and front court, catching the opponent's unstable emotions.

If the Italian youth team could score a classic pass and pass at this time, the Dutch players would also admit it.

After the Dutch youth team increased their intensity, the situation of the Italian youth team became more and more tense.

In the next three minutes, they lost the ball twice in the midfield, and the head coach Di Biagio jumped up and down anxiously.

In the 36th minute, Viviani was sandwiched between Maher and Bazoer.A through ball was sent out in a hurry.

He wanted to catch the gap left by Bazoer, but was intercepted by Williams.

Williams passed the ball to the left as soon as he got the ball. Sun Yu knocked the ball between two defenders to Maher and immediately entered the penalty area.

In the chaos, Maher's pass found Sun Yu who was moving sideways.

Sun Yu changed direction to the right at the moment of getting the ball, and a gap for shooting flashed.

Baldi didn't catch up at all, and the ball hit the goal frame!

He seized the opportunity and shot decisively, while Viviani behind him gambled and shoveled up.

Sun Yu led the ball to the right side of his body. Just when he was about to catch up with the ball and shoot, he suddenly felt a push on his left leg and his body lost balance.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and pointed the ball to the penalty spot.

Viviani squatted on the grass with his head in his hands, and then wanted to argue with the referee, but he just happened to receive a yellow card from the referee.

In the penalty area, Castaño picked up the ball and patted Sun Yu on the shoulder with his right hand: "Well done!"

Sun Yu decisively snatched the ball from the other party's arms, and then said with a smile: "Thank you!"

Castaño was confused: "What are you doing? The penalty kick is mine!"

He stretched out his hand to take the ball back.

Sun Yu held the ball with his right arm, pushed him away with his left hand and said: "You messed up last time, this time it's my turn!"

"Back off, don't let me say it a second time!"

Castaño: "Ah!"

Why did this kid suddenly become a different person?
