Sneijder, Van Persie and Robben, the three became famous and talented at a young age, and although they all achieved some success in the club, they never achieved success in the national competition. What's even more regrettable is that at the peak of the three of them, neither of them met the best of each other, which added a little regret. (Some people say that Huntelaer, do not bother here, just according to the three most accomplished people)
Ned
Snyder was first known for his 6-0 win over Scotland in the second leg of the Euro 2003 play-offs. At the time of the defeat, Ajax's midfielder played a super performance that another group of national team "big men" looked forward to: 1 goal and 3 assists. Under his dispatch, tulips bloomed to the ultimate style and advanced to portugal's European Championship.
Moreover, he was only 19 years old at the time and had a bright future.
But his "bright future" didn't come until the 09-10 season. In the summer of 2009, Sneijder ended his years in Real Madrid and came to Milan City, but he did not expect it but went to the peak of his career.
Mourinho was the only person in those years who could break the Barca myth in the tactical system, and Sneijder was his tactical soul. His biggest difference from the traditional European No.10 is his more modern style of play and his long-proven ability to adapt.
The Dutchman is all-powerful with both feet and a strong body, with a skilled ability to stop the ball under high-intensity confrontation. Compared to most diminutive fronts, Sneijder was able to control the ball in front of the goal under high-intensity pressing, becoming the decisive technical detail today to break down conservative football barriers and increase offensive diversity.
In addition, he has the ability to run widely in all areas of the front, a keen sense of passing and wide vision when switching between attack and defense, and assists and scoring abilities on the back row. More importantly, he was the first line of defense to stop the opponent's counterattack after the team's attack was fruitless. In this sense, Sneijder is no longer a classic front waist characterized by slowness and softness, he is more comprehensive.
That year, Sneijder and M Moser Inter were a perfect fit, and they convincingly won all the titles. In short, 2010 was Snyder's peak year, according to the performance of the national team, the World Cup in South Africa was his best year, 5 goals and 1 assist, which was also the best embodiment.
Van Persie
I met him in the 2006 World Cup. He picked up the pass with his back in style, letting the ball land at Robben's feet along the best route, completing the classic commentary, "Robben swept through the turf like the wind.".
Against Côte d'Ivoire, he scored a direct free-kick from the edge of the penalty area to show the world the talent. After scoring the goal, he screamed with excitement, heroic youth, unruly and frivolous.
Van Persie, the absolute genius of European football for ten years, with a face like a crown jade, eyes like a shooting star, tulips blooming in the country, giving him handsome style. If the stadium is a drawing board, he is the most freehand painter, wielding Van Gogh's brush, leaving behind colors that others cannot imitate.
Feyenoord's winger experience has honed Van Persie's ability to break through, while Arsenal's early career as a shadow striker has broadened his horizons and shooting range. Of course, Van Persie's best trick is still a volley without dead ends. In 11-13 years, relying on a healthy body and absolute firing rights, Van Persie reached a new height, the adjustment of the front step of the catch, the strong one-foot touch ability and the ability to grab points in the penalty area, all tended to be the absolute top of the world at that time. It can be said that At that time, Van Persie was the person in the world who could shoot goals, and he could always shoot both beautiful and shocking.
In those two years, Van Persie won two consecutive Premier League Golden Boots and won a league title with Manchester United.
But Van Persie's national team career is hard to describe. In 2006, 2008, he fell back in the first round of the knockout round consecutively, and although he was one step away from the Hercules Cup in 10 years, he only scored a goal in the group stage against Cameroon, and there was almost no impressive performance in the rest of the game. If the year of the big game is judged by the year, then the best Van Persie appeared in Euro 12, and van Persie was the only bright spot among the Dutch team that was in poor form and weak in attack. In a match against Germany, he got rid of Hummels on his back and scored with a strong shot.
Although He scored 4 goals at the World Cup in Brazil, the best data in his previous major competitions, and left such a legendary classic as a header hanging shot when breaking the defending champion, the state came out too early, and the performance of no achievement after entering the knockout round (the three or four finals are not counted as the knockout rounds) also made people feel like a tiger, and it did not look as frustrated and courageous as in the previous two years.
So, Van Persie's best form in the national team is the 12-year Euro 2019.
Robben
As we all know, the old man's right foot is only responsible for "coordination", and his dribbling, passing, passing, and shooting all rely on his magical left foot. Whenever Robben takes the ball on the right, everyone knows he has to cut inside, but you just can't take him. cause? - Robben's dribbling rhythm is so varied that you can't figure out whether he's going to get up or continue to pass.
A trick, eat all over the sky, the area 45 degrees to the right in front of the big forbidden area, for Robben is like his own backyard. Take a leisurely stroll, give and take. Once Robben got up here, the defenders often had no choice but to cry out in vain. Whether in the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga or the Dutch national team, Robben has repeatedly used this way of scoring goals to help his team get through the dangers and tried it out.
Let's go straight to the topic.
Robben in 2006, having experienced the youth of the European Championship in Portugal, has shown its potential as a new generation of dutch leaders. There have been amazing plays, but in the end he is still a young player with little experience and imperfect technology.
In the 10-year World Cup in South Africa, after Bayern played a season of returning kings, it was already a first-generation ace killer with the ability to solve the game independently.
In the summer before that year, Robben went to Germany to join his Dutch compatriot Louis van Gaal, and it was under Louis van Gaal that Robben's position on the pitch was completely moved to the right. This transformation has transformed him from a winger who doesn't like to pass the ball into a true world-class star.
Extremely fast, dribbling, sharp breakthroughs, deadly shots, Van Gaal activated Robben's huge potential in scoring goals, and the position of reverse foot inside was carried forward at the feet of Robben, which attracted countless football imitators for a time. His inner cut began to make a real name for himself, both in crosses and swinging angle shots, of very high quality.
However, although the inside shot technique is pure, The limitation of Robben's breakthrough is that his ability to walk the middle is relatively insufficient, and his ability to guide the offensive pattern in the dribble is not enough. Peter Pan takes the side road, the ribs are all top, but the performance in the middle of the road is too little, so 10 years of him is very strong, but he is only a top demolition hand, as a core attacker there is something lacking.
But four years later in Brazil, Robben completed his evolution.
Maybe it was the goals in the Champions League final in 2013 that helped him break the devil, or maybe It was Van Gaal's 352/532 formation that allowed Robben to give him more opportunities to perform directly against the centre-backs, or perhaps the two single knives missed in the last final made him want to prove himself with a breath, that World Cup, his breakthrough and end in the middle, not frizzy, hesitant, but more courageous and confident, he has significantly improved his ability to create killing machines in the middle of the road through breakthroughs.
So Robben's strongest form in the country is the 14-year World Cup in Brazil.
In Brazil, Robben was almost all the tactics and inspiration of the "unconnected" Dutch team when attacking. Everyone knows: look at Robben, look at two-thirds of the Netherlands, the remaining one-third is Van Persie, who is high and low, and Sneijder at the end of the crossbow. This sounds a little sad, but it is true.
Scoring three goals in the group stage and taking advantage of the situation to blow up the Spanish defence; robben created penalties in the quarter-finals with Mexico; and in the quarter-final with Costa Rica, Robben let all four defenders of the opposing side eat yellow cards, played 120 minutes and ran desperately until the last moment.
But unfortunately, holland still fell on the penalty, but this time at least Robben did not miss a single hand in the penalty shootout, and the balls shot were dead ends, which was also a complete out of his own heart.
This World Cup is definitely the best Robben has ever played and fully played the core of the competition. He carried the whole team on his shoulders and poured out all his energy, but he had no choice but to lose in the final 12 yards.
A boy has to walk many roads to become a real man; a young man with lofty ideals, how much sky to look up to, in order to have his own piece of blue sky. Perhaps he remembers the sunshine of midsummer in Germany 8 years ago, when he began his legend. The cold night in Brazil, when the golden generation has become thinner and thinner, only Robben remains, and the bravery is still there.
Write at the end:
In summary, in the World Cup in South Africa, the best Sneijder met the second best Robben; at the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, there was only one peak of Van Persie - Sneijder began to decline, and Robben was at a low point in his career; by the World Cup in Brazil, the Netherlands had the best Robben, but the best Van Persie and Sneijder were no longer there.
If all three of them meet at their peak, will the Dutch team be unstoppable? Maybe it's possible, because they don't clash technically with each other either. They had the ability to lead the Netherlands to create an era, but due to various helplessness, they gradually withered away without reaching the commanding heights, and it has to be said that there are some regrets.
