Chapter 248 Research on the opponent
In the next game, we will have a showdown with the Dutch team.Before the game, each of us must first prepare tactically.If you want to defeat your opponent, you must study your opponent. For the world-class powerhouse Netherlands, they have no secrets, but even so, we must carefully study their lineup and find their weaknesses, so that we can improve our strength. When you are not as good as your opponent, you will win the battle.

The Netherlands is a world-class team, but our Yugoslavia team is not a weak team.I believe that with our strength, the battle with the Netherlands will be very exciting.

I scored four goals in the previous three games, and I was in very good form, but this was also related to the lack of world-class central defenders in the previous opponents.In the first game, the Slovenian team was strong in the midfield. The combination of Zahovic and Asimovic posed a great threat to our defense, but at the same time, our forward line also threatened them. The defense posed a great threat, which is why we were able to score three goals in a row and quickly equalize when we were behind 0:3.The second game, our battle with Spain, also played a very high score. 3:4, we lost the game, but it is gratifying that we still scored three goals under the defense of a world-class central defender like Hierro.This also proves that our forward line with me, Mijatovic, Kovacevic and Kežman is indeed a very threatening forward line.Our midfield, under the leadership of Stankovic, Jugovic, Stojkovic, etc., has done a very good job in passing and receiving the ball in the offense and in the overall coordination of the defense , Bringing great support to our forward line.In the third game, we played against the Norwegian team, which could not hold on to the defense. In this battle of breaking the iron barrel formation, we won 1:0, which shows that our offensive ability can penetrate the iron barrel formation defense.After three games, our forward line faced different types of defenses, and they all performed well, which shows that our forward line can break the defense of most teams in the world.I think even the Dutch team will worry about the strength of our forward line.

But the defensive strength of the Dutch team is indeed higher than that of the previous teams. Spain's defense may only have one great star, Hierro, but the Netherlands' defense has several world-class players. —, such as Frank De Boer, Newman and Stam, these are well-known defenders in the European league.Especially Stam, at this moment, he is at the peak of his career, he is tall and strong, with a very smart mind, and his speed is not slow. On the back line, he can get whatever he wants, and even won the world's number one central defender title!Facing the defensive strength of the Netherlands, our offense should encounter more trouble than before.However, I think no matter how troublesome it is, at least the Dutch can't just defend but not attack like the Norwegian team, and use all their abilities on defense——

As long as the Dutch want to attack, as long as their defense presses forward, our forward line will definitely have a chance to score.Therefore, the most important thing is that we must score the first goal as soon as possible. As long as we score the first goal, we can comfortably play defensive counterattacks and be in an invincible position tactically.

However, it is not easy to score the first goal.In addition to being very strong on the back line, the Dutch team also has famous players such as Ronald De Boer, Davis, Seedorf, Zenden, etc. in the midfield.However, we also have a large number of excellent midfielders such as Stankovic, and we will not lose to the Netherlands in the midfield competition.But in terms of midfield style, we are different from the Netherlands—their midfield has both offense and defense, which can be said to be very balanced, but our midfield is a purely offensive midfielder with strong offense and weak defense. Bigger hidden danger.When confronting the Dutch team, if we cannot solve the problem of strong offense and weak defense in the midfield, it will be difficult for our midfield to restrain the Dutch.

As for the Dutch forward line, that is their strongest link.They are sitting on the ice prince Bergkamp, ​​K9 Kluivert, super Deportivo super striker Ma Kai, speed super winger Overmars, and even Hasselbaink of Atletico Madrid-the Dutch This striker's overall strength is indeed the best in the world. Fortunately, Van Nistelrooy, the most terrifying king of the small penalty area, did not participate due to injury, otherwise no one can compare with the Dutch team's forward line.

However, the biggest weakness of our Yugoslavia team is in the defense. We don't have enough strength to compete with the Dutch team's forward line.Although we also have stars like Djukic and Mikhailovich, and Mikhailovich can even be called a superstar, these two people are still far from enough to face the Dutch team's forward line of.We don't have enough good full-backs, but the Dutch's wingers are very strong-Overmars and Zenden are all well-known wide stars. Overmars even played against Argentina's The little donkey Ortega also said, which shows its powerful strength.On top of that, we don't have a very good goalkeeper, neither Kosic, Chikovic or Clarley, is good enough against the Netherlands' super forward group.If we can't strengthen the defense, or strengthen the control of the midfield, there is really no way to compete with the Netherlands!
Fortunately, we have one advantage over the Netherlands, that is, our players surpass the Dutch in terms of the artistic level of football.Although Dutch football has always been an image of artistic football, their midfield and backcourt do not have such beautiful art, but our Yugoslavia, as the most authentic and classic European Latin team, the whole team It is based on the purpose of artistic football. All people, no matter how famous or how strong they are, are very skilled in terms of technology, and our midfield cooperation is very smooth. This was the case during the World War I with Spain. , it can be clearly seen-Spain is also an artistic team, but they still scored three goals by us!Our artistic midfielder is not afraid of the Spanish midfielder at all, and we are even better than Spain in controlling the midfielder!Therefore, when fighting against the Netherlands, as long as we control the midfield, we can greatly reduce the pressure on the defense. We must have hope to defeat the opponent...
