Want to know how the Dutch turned the game around and how good the two goalscorers were? Read on!
The Netherlands returned to the semi-finals
After a 2-0 win over the Czech Republic, the Netherlands also qualified for the last four of the European Championship for the first time since 2004.
This time, the Netherlands' semi-final opponent is England.
The Dutch manager Ronald Koeman also used the same starting line-up as in the previous game.
The Netherlands also showed their strength in this competition.
In the quarter-finals of the European Championship, the Netherlands were still behind their opponents Turkey in the late stages.
However, thanks to the tenacity of the players, the Netherlands finally managed to reverse the score and beat Turkey with a score of 2:1 to successfully advance to the semi-finals, and the next leg of the Dutch team was England.
In this game, the Dutch team also showed their strong overall strength.
However, in this competition, the performance of the two teams is also different.
As the coach of the Turkish team, Sneijder said that he believes that Turkey lost the result of the game, not the Netherlands.
On the other hand, the Dutch team's reversal of the game also surprised the players and coaches alike.
The two goalscorers, Depay and Frenkie de Jong, said they had trained themselves in this way before, so it was no accident that they were able to complete the comeback.
The match also put the Netherlands back in the last four of the European Championships.
So, can the Netherlands make another big splash at the Euros?
Can the Netherlands achieve another great success?
The Dutch team's reversal in this game, players and coaches said it was not a surprise.
In the previous games, although the Dutch team also had a good performance, but to say that they can go all the way to the semi-finals, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Therefore, the Dutch team was able to successfully advance to the semi-finals, and it was also the result of the sweat of the players and coaches.
However, there is still a lot of work to be done in order for the Dutch team to continue to be in such good form.
From the current point of view, the overall strength of the Netherlands is obvious to all, but there are still some fluctuations in the form of the field.
So if the Dutch can maintain their good form in the rest of the game, then the possibilities are endless.
However, in the next game, the Netherlands will also face a new opponent, England.
England are also a good team, but judging by the performances of both teams in recent international competitions, it is clear that the Netherlands are more to look forward to.
The Netherlands and England also have problems with long-term struggles, so this game is sure to be very exciting.
It is also worth mentioning that after the Netherlands successfully advanced to the semi-finals this time, they also had the upper hand in the head-to-head record.
In the last 6 meetings between the two sides, the Dutch team has an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 2 draws.
However, if it comes to the performance of both sides in international competitions in recent years, then England is clearly superior.
The last time England reached the last four of a European Championship was in 1996.
England have failed to achieve success for so many years, and this time they are ambitious to break that spell.
So it's going to be a great game, but will England get back to the top or will the Netherlands make history?
Performance of the two goalscorers
The Netherlands came back from behind and the two goalscorers, Depay and Frenkie de Jong, were undoubtedly the big winners of the game.
Although they have a natural advantage as attackers and midfielders, they are still inseparable from their own efforts to score goals at critical moments.
Depay, as a midfielder, completed 6 shots in this game, and 3 of the 4 shots on target went directly into the opponent's goal.
De Jong didn't shoot as often as Depay, but he managed to find the ball in the back of the net after his header was saved in the first half.
Depay and De Jong have both played for Barcelona for a while, and the two have a good time working together.
Both men also created shots for each other on a number of occasions during this game.
However, speaking of which, the Dutch team had no points in this game, so they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
The Netherlands hit the post or crossbar five times in the game, so it seems that the Netherlands could have won by a bigger margin if they had been a little more careful with their shots.
epilogue
The Netherlands' comeback victory was heartening, especially with the performances of the two goalscorers, Depay and Frenkie de Jong. Their hard work and chemistry earned the Dutch team a victory and the fans were encouraged. We look forward to seeing the Dutch team continue to perform well in the next matches and bring us more surprises! Kudos to the Dutch team, come on!
