A 0-0 game, two frustrated people.
In the 6 games that captain Mbappe did not start, the French team has not won. The battle between France and the Netherlands in the history of the European Cup was not too decisive, but at least there were goals every time they met (for example, in 2000 and 2008, the Netherlands had the last laugh). , so this 0-0 is actually sorry for the fare.
However, Griezmann missed two empty goals in the first and second half, making Simmons' "unjust offside" more like a favor to the French team.
In terms of game arrangement, the two sides are afraid of each other - but Deschamps and Koeman made completely opposite choices.
Deschamps repeated the French team's most classic three-back midfielder - even Kante was in the most advanced position; while Koeman played a standard 424 - in the first round, people criticized the Netherlands for "poor shooting" Afterwards, his response was, let's add Frimpong to the striker (◐‿◑)
So football is really magical: if you just look at their respective arrangements, they seem silly. But after watching the actual battle, we have to admit that seems to be at a disadvantage again -
The French team hopes that the Netherlands will press forward, and then try their best to "sit down" and then counterattack, but the real combat power and personal strength of both sides The gap in ability means that they are always forced to control the ball - in order to prevent the kites of Griezmann and Thuram from flying too far, they can only rely on Kante's back-and-forth and Rabiot's full play from the midfielder to the left wing. Covering runs and constant forays from Conde Dembélé down the right.
The core strategy of the Dutch team is still to fully release both sides - Frimpong + Dumfries' right wing and Ake + Gakpo's left wing are constantly fighting against the opponent's pull and unwillingness to give up an inch of ground. , the intensity of the game suddenly increased - it also shows Koeman's determination to "attack to the end"^_^
So can you imagine the "liveliness" of this game? Everyone is looking in the mirror in a way that they are not good at.
The French team was obviously going to be trapped, but because of Rabiot's "heroic performance", he wasted empty goals and single-handed opportunities (interestingly, in the first half, he was soaring up and down, but because he provided the most "threatening passes" Was named the best of the half ^_^); and the Dutch team, which clearly wanted to attack, was forced to rely on counterattacks to enter the game - but the opportunities wasted by Frimpong, Gakpo and Depay were also very generous.
As the game progressed, the French team gradually gained a cumulative advantage, but the problem is that today's main attackers Griezmann, Dembele and Thuram were all too polite - among them Griezmann was the most polite. Each half wasted an opportunity close to the goal.
The Dutch team, which smelled the danger, also responded - from Gak Podpe's attack on the left to Simons' shot, there was actually no problem, but Dumfries' position...
I can only say Simon Si's grievances can be sympathized with by most people. After long var ruled that the goal was invalid, Koeman made three consecutive substitutions, and the Dutch team began to make consecutive substitutions. Koeman seemed to have given up on the radical 4 forward play and responded to 433. The French team replaced Thuram and Dembélé, with Giroud + Koeman on top. In the last 10 minutes, Koeman replaced Wo Wo Ge again, and the two sides entered a final fight.
However, President Mu did not play in the end. In fact, it was expected that Deschamps would send a signal that a draw was acceptable - and the Dutch team also keenly accepted it. Therefore, although the confrontation at the last moment is anxious, there is almost no real chance.
summarizes the reverse from the result to the process. These are two very bad old men. They start from different perspectives and ideas, but reach the same goal. They jointly directed the only 0-0 in the European Cup so far. I don’t know this kind of thing. Will there be retribution for the "blatant" tacit understanding later (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎).
In theory, there are still considerable variables in Group D. It is not certain who is first and who is third. I'm looking forward to the final showdown between the Dutch team and Austria.
