Chapter 542 Just wait for me!

"Drip, drip, drip!!!"

After 5 minutes of injury time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The Amsterdam Arena, which had less than 30,000 people in it during the first half, seemed even more empty now.

There were only some away fans wearing white jerseys, singing and cheering for their team.

"The Dutch team told us with practical actions why they are unable to participate in this summer's World Cup, because now they have not found their form at all!"

In the British live broadcast room, Lineker shook his head repeatedly:

“In the 90-minute match, the Dutch team, as the host nation, only had 2 shots on target!

In contrast, England had as many as 11 shots on target! If Sterling had not wasted several opportunities, this number would have been even more!"

After all, he is a legendary shooter, and he obviously cares more about the offensive data of both sides.

The commentator Carragher, who is a defender, pays more attention to the defensive capabilities of both sides:

"Van Dijk, who suddenly emerged as one of Europe's top defenders last season, was completely outplayed by us in this game.

I'm not belittling him, but the Dutch team's defensive system is indeed too chaotic.

Head coach Koeman wants to maximize De Ligt's ball-playing ability, but ignores his age and experience, which are simply not enough for him to compete with super stars like Lee Polo!

Throughout the game, Lee Polo didn't even need to spend much effort to tease De Ligt at the palm of his hand!"

Lee Polo, who was praised by Carragher, actually had very average statistics in this game.

Although he beat the young De Ligt at the beginning and opened the scoring for the team, in the subsequent game, he encountered Van Dijk's strict defense.

With the careful attention of this old comrade who knows everything about him, even someone as strong as Lee Polo can still play without restraint.

Van Dijk, who is not yet 27 years old, has just entered the peak age of a central defender. His physical fitness and awareness have reached the top level in the entire football world, and there are almost no obvious signs in him.

Shortcomings: speed, height, jumping, reaction, position selection, and even psychological quality, they are all top among the top!

Under Van Dijk's full defense, Lee Polo had to rely on [Eagle Eye] to get the ball for a long time, but he often lost the ball the next second, which made him feel rare.

angry.

But... after all, Van Dyke had just invited him for a drink yesterday. He couldn't turn his back on him and just kick his old friend's legs off, right?

Van Dijk's efforts were indeed not in vain. For a long time after scoring the first goal, Lee Polo had very few effective ball possessions. It was not until the second half that Van Dijk's physical fitness declined.

He scored his second goal with a header opportunity.

In addition, he also "passively assisted" Lingard, allowing the British star to kick a world-wide kick from the top of the penalty area!

In addition, Maguire also scored a header in the 83rd minute, and England finally defeated the opponent 4:0!

Lee Polo, who played the full 90 minutes, looked at his data of two shots and one pass, and shook his head with some disappointment.

Looking at Van Dyke, who was covered in grass clippings and his knees were even bleeding, he couldn't help but start to reflect on himself:

“Are Premier League defenders too good?”

“I feel like I haven’t made any progress recently!”

"Otherwise how could I be restricted by you?"

Van Dyke grinned while spraying hemostatic agent on his knee:

"You, Young Master Tuma, are acting strangely! You"

"A year ago, how could you have grabbed so many corner kicks in front of me?"

Li Polo showed an expression of disbelief:

"Are you so swollen now?"

"Even if you have the best luck, you can only fight for a header 50-50 with me, right?"

-

England's 4-0 away victory over the Netherlands did not cause too many waves in public opinion.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that now that the golden generation headed by the three stickmen have collectively retired, the uncrowned king who once competed with Spain at the top and unfortunately missed out on the World Cup championship is now at its lowest ebb.

However, the Three Lions, who are full of talents, defeated the Tulips who were struggling, which is not worthy of boasting.

On the contrary, Van Dijk was praised by the media as the cornerstone of the renaissance of Dutch football.

After all, when the strength of his teammates is very different, Van Dijk has tried his best. Without him, Lee Polo could have completed a hat trick with just a header!

A 4:0 victory caused Lee Poirot's average scoring efficiency in the national team to drop significantly, but it made Van Dijk's reputation in Dutch football and even European football even higher!

The more Li Poluo thought about it, the more he suffered, and couldn't help but send a text message to Van Dyke:

"Just wait for me!"

"See you in the Champions League!"

Although Van Dyke quickly replied "Hahaha, who is afraid of who?", he also sent 33 points of negative emotions at the same time...

Even the closest teammates were a little scared of Lee Polo who was attacking him violently! -

Lee Poirot originally wanted to stay in the Netherlands and give Van Dijk a beating, but Southgate asked everyone to take a chartered flight back to London after the game and prepare for the next game the next day. It was completely unacceptable.

Give players the opportunity to visit the great beauty of Amsterdam.

This is also the traditional experience of the Football Association.

The management of football players has always been a big problem. If you stay one more night, who knows how many traces of struggle these multi-millionaires from the Premier League will leave behind in this world-famous capital city...

When the time comes for the paparazzi to be made public, who knows how much pressure and negative impact it will bring to England's World Cup! -

After returning to London, the England team prepared for three days of work and rest before facing their second warm-up match opponent, Italy, on March 28.

Compared to the stagnant Netherlands, Italy's lineup is obviously much better.

The roster includes veterans from three dynasties such as Buffon and Chiellini, as well as Bonucci, Jorginho, Candreva, Immobile, Insigne, Florentine, and Sapa.

Costa, De Sciglio and a large number of backbones in their prime, as well as Donnarumma, Rugani, Berardi, Bernardeschi, Chiesa Jr., Lorenzo...

Rising stars like Pellegrini.

From the perspective of personnel structure, strength, and popularity, Italy's lineup is at least three levels better than the Netherlands!

But...what's the use of this?

Italy, like the Netherlands, has missed out on this summer's World Cup.

But the only thing better than the Netherlands is that Italy at least made it to the final play-offs, but was unfortunately defeated by Sweden with a goal, while the Netherlands was not even qualified to play in the play-offs...

It is worth mentioning that the Netherlands is third in their group, and the second place is Sweden.

Sweden's only superstar, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, believed that the team was too weak to lead by himself, so after he voluntarily quit the national team, the Swedish team's morale increased and they played more like a unit. They successively eliminated the Netherlands, Italy, and more.

Entering the World Cup as a dark horse, "Da Fengxian" couldn't help but blush, and felt embarrassed about being slapped in the face.

In order to hone the lineup, Southgate made significant rotations in this game.

The goalkeeper was replaced by Butland, Ashley Young, Tarkovsky, Cahill, Maguire, Dyer, Vardy, Rashford and other players to get starting opportunities, Henderson, Pickford

Germany, Chamberlain, Danny Rose and others entered the bench to rest. Lingard, who scored the first goal for the national team in the last game, continued to play with Lee Polo.

Compared to Rashford, who doesn't like to pass the ball, his club teammate Lin Huanggaard is obviously more organized. As soon as he sees Lee Poirot and Vardy running out of space, he will pass the ball as soon as possible.

Chiellini and Bonucci on the Italian defense were obviously far inferior to the two cheetahs on England's front in terms of explosive power, and they soon fell into passivity.

Although Italy strengthened its defense, it still failed to suppress Lingard, who has been in hot form recently.

Lin Huang sent a precise through ball in each of the first and second half, allowing Lee Polo and Vardy to eat the cake he made!

In addition to the anti-offside goal, Lee Polo also grabbed the football that was saved by Donnarumma in the stoppage time of the first half - Rashford's long shot.

He made a light and horizontal pull in the small penalty area, shook off the futile struggle of "Qian Duoduo", and pushed a shot into the empty goal!

In the second half, Lee Polo received another free kick from Walker on the right. He used his strong physical fitness to overpower the 34-year-old Chiellini, hit a powerful rocket header, and sent the ball in for the third time.

Internet nest!

Donnarumma, who is ambitious and wants to fully succeed Buffon, lies on the goal line and does not want to get up!

4:0!

England defeated Italy by the same score, ending the only national team match week before May 2018 with a two-game winning streak!

When the Three Lions next gather, it will be in three months!

Their next opponent is the East Asian powerhouse known as "Asia England", the Chinese team!
