Nine Hundred and Seventy-Four Anxious
974 Scorching
The game has started.
Gao Bo sat on the coach's bench.
In his hand, holding a starting list for today's Dutch team.
Sillerson; DeVry, Vlar, Indy; Kuyt, Wernaltown, De Jong, Sneijder, Blind; Robben, 9-Van Persie.
This should be the strongest lineup that the Dutch team can put out at the moment.
It is still Van Gaal's 352 system.
Goalkeeper position is Sillerson, this is the Dutch team's first choice of goalkeeper. The number one goalkeeper of Ajax, a super giant of the Dutch League One, has excellent saving skills and a considerable ability to control the ball at his feet.
It is said that Barcelona has also taken the Dutch national goal and has been spotted by Barcelona.
With his outstanding performance in this World Cup, Sillerson may use this as a springboard to play for the European giants.
The three central defenders of the Dutch team, De Vrij, Vlar, and Indy, have become more mature under the training of Van Gaal.
Right wing-back is Kuyt. Kuyt is an all-rounder.
He can play as a centre forward, he can play as a shadow striker, he can play as a winger, he can play as a defender.
From 2006 to 2010, Kuyt played for Liverpool, and he can be regarded as a first-line giant team. Today, the 34-year-old Kuyt plays for the Turkish giants Fenerbahce.
The all-rounder plays at right wing-back and can make good contributions both on offense and defense.
On the other side, in the position of the left wingback, there is also a versatile Blind.
Blind can also play multiple positions in the midfield.
Both wingbacks are multi-talented, which gives Van Gaal more tactical possibilities on the field.
The three midfielders are De Jong, Wernertown and Sneijder.
De Jong and Wernertown are more of Sneijder's bodyguards.
Dutch midfielder Sneijder,
to control the rhythm of the team.
In the frontcourt, there are two world-class strikers.
Robben, and Van Persie.
Such a lineup can be said to be in the top lineup compared to other teams in this World Cup.
Especially the combination of Van Persie and Robben forwards, no defense line can say that they can completely prevent their offensive.
The system created by Van Gaal was also set up to give play to the strength of these two strikers.
The 352 formation has three midfielders and two wing backs. The variety of coordination makes the opponent's midfield tremble, while the two forwards allow the team to create maximum shots with the least passing, especially When it comes to defensive counterattacks, as long as the football is handed over to the strikers, they can create a huge threat.
However, the 352 system also has obvious weaknesses.
This is not something every team can play.
Because, the changeable midfield and the high demands on the wing-backs and back three.
The changes in this system are very complicated, and he needs a group of players with high overall quality.
Take the three central defenders, for example.
On the surface, the three central defenders are lined up to cover more areas.
However, when it comes to rotation, the coordination of three central defenders is more complicated than that of two central defenders. Especially in the face of some fast rushing levels, the three central defenders often have some problems.
It can be said that this system has almost strict requirements on the positional sense of the defender. Without this, on the wingback, he also requires the wingback to have the ability to run quickly.
Gao Bo looked at Blind.
This game may be able to open a gap from the Dutch player.
....
in the Netherlands team.
Some people are also paying attention to Gao Bo.
Sneijder was pressed by Henderson as soon as he got the ball.
He defended the ball, but was shoveled out of the sideline.
Sneijder got up from the ground.
Instead of looking at Henderson, he looked to the sidelines.
England's head coach Gao Bo is applauding this successful defense.
Sneijder has played against Goblet many times in the Premier League.
Haven't won.
Sneijder felt that this was his own shadow.
Mourinho went to Chelsea twice and then brought him back to Chelsea.
This time, however, they faced an almost desperate opponent in the Premier League.
Manchester City!
This team is too strong.
It doesn't seem to have any weaknesses.
Some people even say that the strong contenders for the Premier League title include Manchester City and the Manchester City Second Team!
You can see how strong this team is.
But now, Gao Bo has given up the position of coach of such a powerful team, and gave up the chance of winning the Premier League title for several consecutive seasons, but chose to take over the not very strong team in England.
This made Sneijder a little strange, but also quite excited.
Manchester City can't play, can England also play?
The ball is still played by the players!
When the game starts, it all depends on the players.
Sneijder is full of fighting spirit.
...
However, the actual situation is.
After the game started, the two sides entered a state of anxiety.
England used a very classic 442 system in this game.
In order to balance the offense and defense, Gao Bo did not line up Adam White in this game, but chose Milner to go to the wing.
On the left is Stirling.
It's all about defense. Milner is a bit better defensively than Adam White.
The two full-backs focus on attacking and defending on the other, and the midfielder is Henderson and Gerrard.
The striker is Rooney and Vardy.
Although there are only four in midfield, but because Rooney often retreats.
Therefore, both sides arranged heavy troops in the midfield.
...
This time, Henderson tackled Sneijder, preventing the Dutch team from advancing, and the Dutch team got the touchline.
Kuyt came over and threw the sideline.
De Jong moved the ball to the left after stopping the ball in his chest.
Blind gets the ball.
As soon as Blind got the ball, Sterling pounced on it.
The Netherlands international protected the ball, but couldn't get it out.
In the end he tried to kick the ball over Sterling to create a foul ball, but failed.
Football except for the touchline.
England got the ball back.
Trippier threw the ball quickly.
Gerrard turned around after taking the ball, then kicked the ball directly and passed it diagonally to the right!
Direct long pass behind you!
England's attack is very direct.
Vardy was already running there.
However, this time, Gerrard's pass was slightly shorter and was headed forward by Indi.
Blind has the ball again.
This time he dribbled the ball and turned around and made a long pass.
Blind's long pass is still very accurate.
That's why Van Gaal insists on using him when he's slow, moving, and not hitting the ball fast.
Robben is running!
The Dutch team's offensive is also very direct! !
Take a long ball when you have the chance, behind Maguire and Cahill.
England's central defender, turning slowly is a perennial weakness.
But the ball didn't work either.
Maguire headed the ball back to midfield.
The two sides once again launched a fight in the midfield!
Judging from the opening stage, this is a strangulation battle in the midfield!
