There is a dream called football

A good attacking midfielder is called the metronome of the midfield. The reason for this is that the attacking midfielder needs to control the rhythm of the attack.

What is rhythm?

This word seems to describe more music, but in fact the rhythm of the game on the football field is similar.

After Rosicky got the ball, just when everyone thought he would distribute the ball quickly, unexpectedly he suddenly slowed down.

Because it is easy to make mistakes by playing fast and fast, and when the opponent is impatient, suddenly slowing down the shot can sometimes be very effective.

Rosicky suddenly slowed down, and PSV was really at a loss. At this time, Rosicky passed the ball to Li Qiao on the wing.

At this time, most of PSV's chasing players were hoarding in the middle, and Li Qiao was ready to pass the ball. This ball found his old partner Robin van Persie.

The ball was given to the forward point, and Van Persie repeated his old tricks. Last time, he used a shocking diving leap to score the goal, and this time he wanted to do the same, but the fairy ball does not appear every time. This time the ball flew directly over the top.

, rather than drawing an arc.

Van Persie himself was embarrassed. He pointed his thumb at Li Qiaobi, meaning that the ball was passed well and it was my own fault that he didn't pass the ball.

This was also Arsenal's last shot in the first half. The score between the two sides was fixed at 2-1 in the first half, with PSV leading.

When the midfield whistle blew, the camera was shown on the big screen for a long time. It is estimated that few people could have imagined this score before the game. What is even more unexpected may be the process of the game. PSV was able to use blitzkrieg to deal with Arsenal.

, and succeeded.

*****

In 1988, PSV won the European Champions Cup for the first time, and this is also the only time so far. At that time, PSV's coach was the famous magical coach Hiddink.

And Hiddink is sitting in the stands of Philips Stadium at this time. For the entire Netherlands, Hiddink is also an honor.

Although he is a guest this time, Hiddink cannot escape. The Dutch media are still very interested in Hiddink, especially since PSV won the first Champions League in history under the leadership of Hiddink.

Although that was before the restructuring of the Champions League, it was also the highest honor for European clubs at that time.

"Hu Si, did you remember anything when you came to the Champions League game?"

Hiddink chuckled, knowing that this was a topic he couldn't escape, or that his current achievements were inseparable from the Champions League trophy, just like Porto achieved Mourinho, and PSV achieved Hiddink.

"I have never denied the importance of PSV to me. Everyone knows that my playing career has not been anything glorious. The biggest club I have ever played for is PSV. After becoming a coach, my last

The beginning of my glory was also in Eindhoven, and it was here that I became successful."

"The Dutch league used to be so powerful. PSV and Ajax both won the Champions League. But after the Champions League was restructured, everything seems to have changed. Now it seems impossible for Dutch clubs to win the Champions League."

Hiddink has a very sharp view on this.

"It's still a matter of population. If you look at the share of the Champions League, it's very clear. A big country like Germany also gets a larger share. This is an era of commercialization. Football is no longer as simple as in the past. Now the market determines everything."

"So we can still train very good players, but we can only send these players to the five major leagues."

"Think about Robben and Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo, Romario, Stam, all of those were sent away from PSV."

"As a Dutchman, do you think this can change?"

Hiddink shook his head, "I think it would be good if the gap does not widen. I have been to many places in the world. Now is the era of television broadcasts, so I think we need to work harder. For example, when I was coaching in South Korea, it was very It’s hard to watch the Eredivisie broadcasts, but I can see the Bundesliga and Premier League broadcasts every week, and that’s the difference.”

Hiddink's analysis is relatively pertinent, while another famous figure in PSV history is much more optimistic. He is Gullit, one of the legendary Three Musketeers in Dutch history.

Gullit grew up with PSV in the Netherlands, and he has a deep affection for this club. It can even be said that without PSV, there might not have been the Three Musketeers of the Netherlands.

Gullit said in an interview: "I think there is nothing wrong with Dutch football. We are still very strong, and our club will also win the Champions League. I think this is for sure, but it will take time, because after the Champions League is restructured , it is really more difficult to win the championship, we must admit this.”

Gullit started from the perspective after the Champions League was restructured. Before the Champions League was restructured, it was the Champions League. It was an elite event. There were not many teams participating, and you didn’t need to spend that much energy. But it is different now. Now it is the Champions League, which is a league game that lasts for a season. It needs a deep bench depth, which I think we lack.

"So what do you think of the team's prospects this season?"

"I am very optimistic about PSV this season because their coach Ronald Koeman, like me, grew up in PSV, he understands the experience and present of this team, and he also A coach who knows the essence of Dutch football."

"So I think he will succeed, maybe just like Hiddink back then, someone from PSV will lead the team to win the championship."

In the locker room, Koeman himself thought the same. As a Dutch footballer, he is very proud at heart. Even though the Netherlands has not won the World Cup, no one can question the strength of Dutch football.

What's more important is the influence of Dutch football philosophy on the world. The famous La Masia was advocated by Cruyff, and no one can deny that the later Cosmos Barcelona was influenced by Cruyff. In fact, That is the influence of Dutch football.

"I don't need to say more about the history of the club. I don't think there is any need to say anything about the glory of Dutch football. What I want to say is, become the next Gullit, the next Stam, and the next Robben. .”

"Or the next Ronaldo." When he said this, Koeman looked at Tardelli with a smile.

On the other side, in the Arsenal dressing room, Wenger reflected on his underestimation of the enemy. Arsenal's underestimation of the enemy caused Arsenal's passivity in the first half. However, after summarizing, the most important thing is to face the future.

"In the second half, we used our best Arsenal football to compete with our opponents. I think as long as we don't underestimate the opponent, we can get a good result in the away game."
