Although the Czech Republic has a history of "double kills" in the 16-year European Championship qualifiers, before the start of the 1/8 of the European Championship, more fans are still optimistic that the Dutch team can perfectly "revenge". After all, there was Koeman who led the team to win the second place in the European Nations League, and then De Boer led the group stage to win three games and three victories, and the number of goals was the best in Europe. Before the game, the Czech team lost the big player, which made the Dutch fans full of confidence. But the end result was a 2-0 defeat to the Dutch team. This defeat is not only in the score, but also in the tactical play and the scene. De Boer finally made the mistake Dunga made 11 years ago.
The Dutch team is quite young and inexperienced
It has to be said that after Robben, Van Persie and other players have left the team, although the current Dutch team does not lack excellent players, and even from the performance of the previous European Nations League and the European Cup group stage, the team's combat effectiveness is not weak, but such a team that lacks absolute superstars seems to be able to rely on the manager's tactical settings to play a relatively excellent game process and results. Once the manager's tactical arrangement is seen through by the opponent, then the team is likely to collapse due to the lack of spiritual leader players.
Wasted chances, inexperiencies, late substitutions – that was once the reason Dunga lost at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa
Veteran fans who watched the game in the early hours of this morning don't know if they remember the 2-1 win over Brazil at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The Dutch team at Euro 2020 almost perfectly replicated the mistakes of the Samba Legion 11 years ago. A team that looked good, wasted opportunities, no leadership players, because of an unexpected red card and a slow substitution of the manager, eventually led to the reversal of brazil. And 11 years later, the person who received the red card changed from Merlot to De Ligt, the person who wasted opportunities changed from Kaka to Mullen, and the incompetent manager who could not help the team reverse changed from Dungar to De Boer. The Dutchman almost perfectly replicated the defeat of his defeated opponent after 11 years, which is probably a "god script" that spanned 11 years.
Previously, whether it was Dunga, Van Malwijk or now De Boer, they all chose to innovate the team's traditional playing style, and the result was invariably defeated. De Boer may now be the one who will be expected to leave the class. Perhaps the hope of the "tulip" revival ended at the moment when Koeman joined camp Nou, and a tulip that has lost its roots, even if it blooms beautifully, will inevitably wither and wither.
