Even though the Dutch team had the advantage of playing at home, the overall strength gap made Old Blind choose to focus on defense at home, and the result was that the Dutch team was beaten at the Amsterdam Arena.

For many Dutch fans, such a home game feels very useless.

The defense was shaky and the offense couldn't come up.

Frustrated!

As the master of total offense and total defense, he should have a grand opening at home and play a heart-stirring World Cup preliminaries.

Since Old Blind's tactics for the players before the start of the game revolved around defending first, the number of players participating in the offense was relatively limited. Within five minutes, France, who had an overall strength advantage, took over the rhythm of the game.

The Dutch fans in the audience were very dissatisfied, but they tolerated it when they thought that their opponent was France, the runner-up of this year's European Cup. After all, the game was a 90-minute battle. What if Blind led the Netherlands to score all three points at home?

It's just that this contingency is a bit difficult to come by.

In addition to controlling the rhythm of the game, the French team also did a good job in switching from offense to defense, and did not give the Dutch players a chance to counterattack at all.

In addition, whether it is Klassen or Promes, their breakthrough ability on the wing is quite weak and it is difficult to play a surprise role.

Janssen, who is at the forefront of the striker, lacks speed and superb skills. His height of 1.84 meters is not outstanding, and his feeling in front of the goal is not very good. This is why he, as the Eredivisie Golden Boot last season, moved to Tottenham. The fundamental reason why he can only serve as a substitute.

Perhaps because he played less games, his performance on the court was very poor.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the Dutch team's style of play.

As a forward, without full support from the midfield and backfield, it is difficult to pose a threat to France's goal.

As time slowly passed to fifteen minutes, the ball possession ratio given by the broadcaster also reached 37. In the past three minutes, the Dutch players did not even touch the football. The on-site director repeatedly gave the home team a substitute when the ball was dead. Fan Kerry of Xi.

The sudden emergence of Van Carey, whether in Ajax or Manchester United, can bring his own offensive system.

It doesn't matter if his teammates are trapped as a whole, as long as the football is at his feet, he can pose a threat.

Dutch head coach Blind looked melancholy, but he had no choice. Not to mention that Van Kerry was shortlisted for the Dutch team's 23-man squad for the first time. He cannot be used easily at the age of seventeen. That would give people a sense of irresponsibility. impression.

In sharp contrast is France head coach Deschamps. He has his arms folded across his chest and is sitting leisurely in the visiting team's coaching bench. Those who don't know think he is just an ordinary football fan.

After a quarter of an hour of testing, Deschamps already knew Old Blind's tactics well.

In the 20th minute of the game, he came to the coach's command area in front of the visiting team's bench and blew his whistle. Pogba turned his head and looked around, just in time to see Deschamps making a tactical gesture and nodding lightly to express acceptance. Come down and know what to do.

Pogba's positional condition brings an exponential increase in offensive threats.

He is a midfielder with excellent skills, vision, passing, and long-range shooting. He breaks through with the ball, breaks the ball, and long-range shooting to put pressure on Stekelenberg.

The Dutch team coached by Blind Sr. had no choice but to passively shrink their defense.

However, defense is not the characteristic of the Dutch team. If it were not for Van Dijk's several key grabs and blocks, Stekelenberg's goal would have been lost.

In the blink of an eye, thirty minutes later, the ball possession ratio given by the broadcaster had become 24%:76%. The commentator of the Dutch National Sports TV station in the commentary box couldn't bear it:"This is not Dutch football! This is against Dutch football. What an insult! Total offense, total defense! Not just defense but no offense!"

Not long after he finished speaking, Pogba suddenly fired a cold arrow about 27 meters away from the goal on the left rib. The football was like a cannonball, and the goalkeeper Si Teklenborg was beyond his reach.

With the score behind, the home team's fans' stands at the Amsterdam Arena were silent, except for the cheers of joy from the French fans who came from afar.

The on-site director gave Old Blind another close-up shot, and then showed substitute player Van Carey sitting on the bench.

This picture is very meaningful. The reason why the Netherlands is lagging behind at home is largely due to the inability of the offense to bring pressure to France, resulting in continuous defense. If Van Kerry is on the wing, whether it is offensive or defensive containment, he will show very good performance. tactical effect.

What made Old Blind feel depressed was that winger Promes was unable to persist in a confrontation during the restarted game and had to make substitution adjustments in advance. The on-site director once again gave Van Kerry to the bench.

Old Blind looked back at the bench, his eyes wandering back and forth between Van Kerry, Depay and Dost, not knowing who to choose.

Promes' substitution gesture was very obvious as he was unable to persist in the game. The three of them also noticed that Depay had the strongest desire to come on as a substitute. As a talented player who became famous at a young age, he did not want to admit that he was weaker than Van Kerry.

But sometimes that's the case, no matter how good you think you are, you can't escape fair and just evaluation.

Old Blinder's eyes finally fixed on Van Kerry, and he said loudly:"Kerry, prepare to come on as a substitute."

After hearing this, Van Kerry immediately took off his vest and put on the No. 22 jersey. He did not warm up and simply listened to Old Blinder's instructions. After laying out the tactics, he walked to the fourth official and waited for the substitute to come on.

Depay's eyes were full of reluctance, but more of envy.

"In the 36th minute of the game, the Netherlands worsened. The main winger Promes could not persist in the game. Van Kerry came on as a substitute. At 17 years and 242 days old, he became the sixth young player to represent the Dutch men's football team at the age of 17."

Although it was already past three o'clock in the morning, China time, He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, was still in good spirits. When he saw Fan Kairui preparing to appear, his heart was a little strong, and his voice rose an octave:"But the last one was at the age of 17. Mauk Weber put on the orange jersey as far back as 1931……"

At this point, he changed the subject and said emotionally:"I believe the fans in front of the TV can empathize with us. Let's ask ourselves, was Fan Kerry trained by China Football? No! He was trained by the Dutch youth training, and the most important thing is the Football Association officials. Without action, how long has Van Kerry been acting recklessly in the Premier League? He still hasn’t sent anyone to contact him about naturalization.……"

At the same time, Van Kerry slowly ran into the court, and French player Pogba raised his eyebrows. As a club teammate, he had the deepest understanding of Van Kerry's abilities, so he was full of worries.

Right back Sidibe has very strong defensive ability, but the problem is that Van Kerry, who he is facing, is stronger!

Deschamps also thought of this. Before the game started, he blew a whistle, indicating that Pogba and Varane should properly cover the right side during the defense to prevent Van Kerry from opening the left channel.

The game restarted, and the Dutch defensive players clearly realized that the defensive pressure had dropped significantly.

There are unexpectedly more offensive opportunities.

Fan Kairui, who was still using running to warm up, was a little depressed, and even wanted to say:"Brother, can you give me some time to warm up first?"
