If you were to name the most tragic team in the World Cup, the Netherlands would surely be at the top of the list. The Uncrowned King is probably the most regrettable of all the team's nicknames.
The Tulip Legion has a lot of talents in history and has left countless classic pictures in the world.
He reached the World Cup final three times, but never was crowned. The 2010 World Cup in South Africa was the last highlight of the Netherlands, when they reached the final with a low profile, but unfortunately they met the Spanish team with "San Cassi" in the final, in which Robben missed a single knife against Casillas, ceding the title to Spain, who scored the killer goal in extra time, and also made the Spanish Matadors! Casillas was also made! Speaking of Qassi, he also signed with the famous sports company F U N8 8 for this World Cup in Qatar, and will continue to bring the most passionate enjoyment to fans!
The Netherlands have since missed Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup. There were no signs of recovery until Euro 2021 began, with world-class stars emerging in individual positions. From the squad announced by manager Louis van Gaal, it can be seen that the Tulip Army's lineup, although more civilian, also has the strength to win the championship.
Van Dijk, the core of the midfield with great propulsion, De Jong, is expected to become the team's all-time top scorer striker Depay and is the most reliable backbone of this Dutch team. At the same time, left-centre-back Acker, right-centre-back's main player Timbell, left-wing-back's main Blind, right-wing-back's main player Dumfries.
There are also players such as De Ligt , De Foley and Flimpong on the bench. The solid defense line allows this star-studded Dutch team to approach the Qatar World Cup with a more united and pragmatic attitude. And such a Netherlands is also more likely to surprise fans.
At least in the group stage, Qatar and Ecuador in the same group are not expected to create much difficulty, and the Netherlands team needs to watch out for Senegal the most and strive to qualify first in the group, so that the knockout stage can fight for the initiative.
In April this year, Van Gaal revealed that he had prostate cancer, and he decided to leave after the Qatar World Cup, and the old coach went out with illness, which may be an additional incentive for the Dutch soldiers!
