Chapter 288 Advance to the European Cup

On October 10, there is a national team match day.

Wu Haowen led the team to Yerevan, Armenia, and will challenge the Armenian team in the group at the Vazgen Sarkisian Republican Stadium in Armenia.

There is basically no suspense in this game.The 7:0 in the first game showed the problem, and the result was as expected. After all, Armenia's world ranking is far from that of the Netherlands.

Only 1 minute into the game, Troupe made a cross from the right, and Depay headed the ball in front of the goal to Belwijn on the left. Belwijn volleyed the ball. The Armenian goalkeeper didn't even have time to react, and the ball went into the net.

The Dutch team took the lead at the start with 1:0, which made the game easier.

In the next game, Van Dijk, Pierre, De Jong, Filchner, Depay and Viletesla scored respectively. The score copied the result of the first game and became 7:0. The Dutch team has now become a relatively special existence in world football.

Today's world ranking has reached No. 9, which is close to the previous highest No. 6. Moreover, the Dutch Football Association and Dutch fans believe that reaching historical heights or even surpassing history will be easy, because of Wu Haowen.

On October 10th, they returned to the home stadium Amsterdam Arena to welcome Serbia.

After the defeat in the last round, Serbia lost to Italy again, which is already 3 points behind Italy. If this game cannot be won again, then Serbia will have to say goodbye to this European Cup.

The pressure on head coach Dallak can be imagined.This game was even described by the Serbian domestic media as a last stand. If they can't beat the Dutch team, then Serbia will basically have no hope of qualifying.

The importance of the game is clear to the players and they all understand it.Serbia has gathered a bunch of top players in the team, but they can't turn it into an advantage.

They are eager to express themselves on a higher stage. The European Cup is naturally the most important stage besides the World Cup. The Serbs hope to show their style in the European Cup. The premise is that they must qualify first, otherwise everything is illusory.

In this game, the Serbian coach Dallak arranged a 4-2-1-3 formation. While still defending, he expects to gain something on the offensive end.Joveljic served as a single-core striker, Zivkovic and Adezic supported on the left and right wings respectively.With the addition of midfielders Savic, Milivojevic, etc., it can be said that Serbia's full main lineup will fight, and they want to at least score points at home in the Netherlands.

But the reality is not so perfect.

In the 4th minute of the opening, the Dutch team got the ball from the left wing.

Promes took the ball from the left side to the center, encountered Serbia's interception, and passed the ball to the back of the midfield to Strowman.Stroman kicked the ball straight into the penalty area on the right with a long-range shot, and Stens was running quickly in that direction.

Serbia's Ristic stuck close to Stens, and ran in front of him, grabbed the ball first, and quickly turned around and kicked sideways to clear the penalty area.

However, the ball was still quickly withdrawn by Strowman and passed to Depay.Depay scored the ball to the right wing and handed it to Trope, who took the ball and broke forward along the right sideline.

Subsequently, Trope made a pass near the baseline. At this time, Leiden in the small penalty area on the right stretched out his left foot and easily pushed the ball into the net.

Although the Serbian goalkeeper Maximovic made a save, but due to the late save, he failed to stop the ball in time and got into the net.

The Dutch team leads 1:0.

Coach Dallak cursed angrily. In fact, he knew in his heart that defeating the Dutch team was an impossible task.After Wu Haowen took over the Dutch team, this became the concern of the head coaches of all European national teams.

Who can make the Dutch team lose!

Pisa continued. Although Serbia was one goal behind, the formation did not fluster, and the defensive end performed well. In the next game, the Dutch team felt that kind of discomfort.

If you want to attack but can't make it, you are anxious and uncomfortable.

Towards the end of the first half, the anxious mentality of the Dutch team almost gave Serbia a chance. Fortunately, Van Dijk appeared in time and kicked the ball that rolled quickly out of the penalty area in front of the goal, otherwise Serbia would have equalized the score.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and the game was still very difficult.Serbia used its own defense to prevent the Dutch team from expanding their score advantage, and the fans supporting in the stands were also a little anxious. After all, with only one goal ahead, the opponent could easily equalize.If it is reversed again, it will become a joke.

Although they have always believed in the head coach Wu Haowen, how many people can calmly analyze these data at the scene?At this time, what they are most concerned about is when the next goal will be scored and which team will score it.

Everyone's expectations were finally met before the finale.

In the 87th minute of the game, Ristic wanted to pass the ball to Zivkovic who was running, but he didn't want to be stopped by Riedwald of the Dutch team.He passed to Strowman on the right. Strowman ran forward with the ball and encountered obstacles. He immediately distributed the ball to Strowman on the right and forward.

Stens did not choose to take the ball forward, but stopped the ball, and then made a powerful shot, kicking the ball from the right to near the left sideline.At this time, Leiden was unmarked on the left side, and this was an opportunity.

Leiden jumped high, stopped the ball in his chest, then flicked his left foot, hoisted the ball to the right, and he took the ball to the middle.Realizing the danger, Serbia's defense quickly came up with two defenders to hinder Leiden's further actions.

But Leiden was unmoved, he had already seen the running position of Stens on the right.He pretended to break in, so that Millenmovich, who was coming up to defend, stopped immediately and made a defensive posture.And Leiden took advantage of Millenmovic's distance, immediately picked up the ball, and kicked it to the front of the penalty area on the right.

At this time, Stens is accelerating towards the door, seizing this opportunity.

The Serbian goalkeeper Maximovic, who was staring at the direction of Raiden on the left, immediately realized the danger, adjusted his posture immediately, and ran to the right.

But his speed couldn't keep up with the speed of the ball after all. By the time he ran to the middle of the goal, Stens had already jumped up and headed the goal.

But he still tried his best to make a save. Although he was far from touching the ball, he felt better because he had tried his best.

"Bang" sound!
Drill into the nest.The Dutch team 2:0 Serbia, and finally maintained the score to the end.

After 7 rounds, the Dutch team topped the list with 21 points and qualified one round ahead of schedule.Looking at the scores of other group members, Italy will qualify second in the group if there is no accident, because the score gap between them and Serbia has reached 6 points.

In this way, the Netherlands will join hands with Italy to advance to the current European Cup, and the Netherlands will next have a new round of UEFA Nations League A-level groupings.It is not known which teams the Netherlands will be grouped with.

The teams qualifying for the European A-League are all nervous, worried that they will be in the same group as the Netherlands.
