The Netherlands lost 0-2 to the Czech Republic and missed the quarter-finals. How to evaluate this game?

After trial training and adjustment in the group stage, Delporte sent Depe+Mullen in the first round of the knockout stage. From a certain point of view, this combination is a little more reasonable than Depe+Wieghorst. After all, the latter two are essentially opposite, and Depe is just a little fast. In the knockout stage, it is more necessary to highlight utilitarian thoughts. It is natural to put Mullen, a forward who is good at speed and reverse insertion, on the opposing striker.

However, the Czech Republic did not give them much room to play in this game. Perhaps because of the hot weather, the two teams did not choose to rush out of the momentum in the opening stage. On the Czech side, they created a little midfield advantage from the beginning with the return of the striker, and just as they were preparing to move forward, the empty backcourt exposed the lack of personal ability. The Netherlands has been eliminated from the group stage and played 433 super-standard teams. It's a joke. Anyway, this is the first time I have seen such a Holland. Delporte doesn't know how to evaluate players at ordinary times. In this game, the Netherlands played 370 tactics. The Dutch team's attack needs De Jong to break through with the ball. Everyone else stepped aside and passed the buck. It is strange that they play well. After De Jong, their confidence collapsed and the team had no rules at all. In the first half, it was topped by Delich's super performance. In the second half, delic was unable to play with a red card. The Czech Republic was in its heyday in the Spring and Autumn Period. After 20 minutes, I found something was wrong and asked Hick to back off and cross the Netherlands, but I couldn't. The second half was completely crushed. It can be regarded as a complete victory of power football over the inexplicable midfield ball, which is very good.

In this game, the Czech team won with stronger fighting spirit and stronger desire to win. The Dutch team felt that everyone was not excited about the game and failed to grasp several good opportunities. When you keep wasting opportunities, you will give up your hope. Mullen didn't go straight here, turned around and came back here. The Czech counterattack forced Drigues to get a red card. Although Drigues's red card was a turning point in the game, in fact, many of them were accumulated before. The strangulation of five Czech midfielders made the Netherlands unable to control the midfield, and the Czech counterattack was actually more threatening than the Netherlands. I think there may be many people who talk about conspiracy theories and go to the rooftop.

I just want to say that gamblers don't say they really love football. If you really love football, you should know that the greatest charm of football is unpredictability. And this is also the most attractive European Cup, and the so-called Europe has no weak travel, which has always been the case. Both Greece and Denmark have created myths. Why not this time? Choose a home team you love, choose a star you like, follow it, be happy for it to win, and be sad for it to lose. This kind of love, far more than fake fans, looks at the paper strength to buy the ball, judges the utility of victory or defeat, and even scolds the stars for scoring more goals and scoring wonderful big scores, which is true and pure.

When Delporte released Mullen, it was doomed that wijnaldum was not the core of the organization like bruno fernandez. He is an offensive swingman, and his characteristic is to play the second attack point. Depe and Wehorst performed well in the group stage, and the reason why Delporte suddenly replaced Mullen is not clear. Looking at the performance of the Czech group stage, the attitude of the Czechs is very low. The basic tactics of the Czech Republic in this European Cup are to hold their own half and wait for an opportunity to fight back. You can think that Czech tactics are conservative, but you can't deny that Czech is pragmatic. After all, there is no organizational core like Rosicky in the frontcourt.
