Chapter 108 Netherlands VS Slovenia!
In the afternoon, tens of thousands of fans had poured into the Amsterdam Stadium.The population of the Netherlands is not very large, but every time the Dutch team plays, there will always be a tsunami of fans at home, and the number is always indispensable.As a traditional strong team in Europe, the Dutch team has always been very popular among the fans. Among other things, as an opponent, my idol in football is Robben of the Dutch team-this is evident .

As the away team, we started with adaptive training in the stadium.In the process of stepping on the field, I heard many Dutch fans yelling in English, "Go Holland, Slovenia too!" Some fans put up banners in English, "Dutch fans send hello to Slovenian fans." It was a harmonious scene.I don't know why this happened, after all, this is a World Cup qualifier, and the Dutch team has to get past us if they want to qualify.Speaking of which, we belonged to the enemy's camp, but I don't know why the Dutch fans are so kind to us.

I told this question to Cesar, and Cesar smiled and said: "It's not strange, the strength of the Dutch team is far beyond ours, they know that we must not win, so there is no hatred between them and us, it is naturally harmonious .If it was the Netherlands playing at home against Spain, Brazil, Italy, especially Italy, look what the Dutch fans would hang on the banner."

I suddenly realized: This superficial harmony is actually an expression of contempt for our football!This kind of reality makes me very depressed and speechless, but the strength gap between us and the Netherlands is so big. Even if we want to deny the strength gap, there is no way.

In any case, since we have won the opportunity to challenge the Dutch team, no matter what kind of vision the opponent looks at us, we can only have one response-that is, try our best to win, use the victory to let the opponent Value us!Luxembourg can push the Dutch team to a dead end and only lost the game 0:1, so what about us, as a team that is better than Luxembourg, can we give up our illusions when we play against the Netherlands, and go ahead without a fight? Timid?cannot!
We practiced on the field for a while, and suddenly we heard huge cheers and applause from the entire stadium!It turned out that the host Dutch team walked into the center of the field and started training before the game!My idol Arjen Robben was also among them, and famous players such as Van Persie, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Sneijder and Van der Sar also appeared on the field.They are bright stars, however, after a while, they will become our opponents, no matter how dazzling their names are, we must use our greatest efforts and tenacious struggle to fight against them with all our strength!

The pre-match training was not long. After a while, we left the field and returned to the locker room. Under the arrangement of Coach Kok, we held the final pre-match preparation meeting.

Coach Kok asked: "On the field just now, everyone saw the superstars of the Dutch team. Do you feel nervous?"

Everyone replied: "No!"

Coach Kok said: "Well, it's very good, it's good if there is no one. We must not be intimidated by their fame. Football is played, not spoken. We do our job well, no matter how strong the Dutch team is. , That’s up to it. The result of the game is beyond our control, but we can control the process, as long as we play well and are worthy of the Slovenian team logo on our chest, it will be fine.”

"Yes!" We said in unison.

Coach Cork arranged the starting lineup for this game:

Forwards: Ljubjankic, Novakovic
Midfielders: Pechnik, Kurtic, Bielsa, Zago Jeruhovic

Defenders: Jokic, Cesar, Kilm, Ilic
Goalkeeper: Witmar

In this game, Coach Cork gave us this explanation:
First of all, it is necessary to do a good job of defense. Although the four defenders are to stare at the opponent's forward, the main task of the midfielder is also to defend the opponent's player.As for the offense, there is no requirement. If the play is smooth, you can sort it out from the midfield and play a quick counterattack. If the play is not smooth, you can go directly to Ljubyankic with big feet.The specific division of labor, Cesar and Kilm mainly guard against Nistruy, Jokic against Van Persie, and Ilic mainly guard against Robben's assault.In the midfield, my main defensive target is Sneijder, the core midfielder of the Dutch team. Kurtic will pester De Zeuu, Pechnik will be responsible for harassing the opponent's midfielder De Jong, and Bielsa will deal with Van der Vaart.Even the forwards were given defensive duties - Ljubjankic harassed De Jong with Pechnik, and the only striker who didn't have to retreat was Novakovic, because he didn't have enough speed and had to keep Make the ball in the frontcourt and use a strong body to open up the way for those who insert behind to shoot.

In addition, when we steal the ball and counterattack, we must especially pursue speed.If you can play the ball with one kick, try to play the ball with one kick, and hand the ball to forward Ljubyankic as soon as possible, and he will perform the final attack.Due to his lack of speed, Novakovic is just a bridgehead for a feint attack, mainly responsible for making the ball to Ljubyankic.No matter from which point of view, the ultimate goal is to form a quick counterattack through Ljubyankic's speed!

In addition, if Ljubyankic’s counterattack at this point is not able to hit, then use my point, or high-speed breakthrough, or long-range shots, use my two great skills of breaking through people and shooting with waves and stars, and beat the Dutch team. Fight back!

If we are lucky and get a goal ahead, we will compress the lineup to a flatter level, and even Novakovic will be pulled back as a midfielder to use as a defensive player, leaving only Ljubyankic alone in the frontcourt assault.However, once we conceded the ball first, tactically the Dutch team forced us to attack, and the attacking force must not be more than four people - Ljubjankic, Novakovic, Pechnik and I.Even Kultic had the ability to pass the ball, but because of his slow speed, he was ruthlessly deprived of the offensive responsibility!Unless, we are still one goal behind in the final stage of the game, at this time, we can play a Dutch-style total defense for a few minutes, and use a wave-like attack to strive for the hope of scoring a goal!
After everything was arranged, we walked out of the locker room and, together with the star-studded Dutch team, walked into the center of the field!
