971 The Uncrowned King Who Cannot Be Ignored

When Gao Bo got up from bed the next day.

He still remembers the celebration of the English players in the dressing room last night.

For this group of England players, before the start of this World Cup, they were dubbed "the weakest England in recent years" and "England without stars" by the English media.

In short, not many people are optimistic about their prospects in the World Cup.

However, their performance was unexpected.

The group leader qualified and eliminated Greece to enter the quarterfinals. ,

This is the best result of England in these few World Cups.

And their beautiful performance in consecutive games has also begun to make people more optimistic about their prospects for the World Cup.

Of course, in the quarterfinals, there are no weak teams.

There are currently four teams in the quarterfinals.

Brazil, Colombia, the Netherlands, England.

England's opponent is the Dutch team.

This is a difficult opponent.

despite this.

Gao Bo still gave the team a day off.

Because after this game is over, the quarter-finals will be played in six days.

They still have nearly a week to prepare for this game.

After continuous training and competition, Gao Bo also let the players relax a bit.

After all, what awaits them is a fierce battle.

He turned on the phone.

A lot of information.

The top of WeChat is Haruko's information.

Looking at the photos sent over, and the more and more round belly.

Gao Bo couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

He opened the curtains.

It is already eight in the morning.

These days, the members of the coaching staff are also quite tired.

Continuous high-intensity work, everyone is working hard around a goal.

This day is completely a holiday.

What everyone loves to do.

But there is one thing.... It is forbidden to drink alcohol and go out and mess around.

Gao Bo knows that players in England will be exposed to some alcohol more or less.

This is in the national team, not the club.

His discipline can only be enforced during the national team game, not when the player is not in the national team.

Therefore, the national team coach sometimes has some limitations.

Gao Bo responded one by one to the messages that he could not reply to last night.

Then I washed myself and went downstairs for breakfast.

There are not many people in the restaurant.

Many players have probably gone out.

Not many players stayed in the entire training base.

Gao Bo had breakfast and was about to go out for a stroll.

When I went to the hotel, I passed by the gym.

He found that Gerrard had been sweating on the treadmill early in the morning.

Some people can succeed, not without reason.

Many players begin to lose their physical condition as soon as they are 30 years old, but there are also many players, the older they are, the more demon they are.

The difference is, to a large extent, the degree of self-discipline of each individual.

Gerrard can achieve what he is today, and his self-discipline cannot be ignored.

There is no doubt that Gerrard, this is a banner player.

Flag of England football.

At the same time, it is also the flag of Liverpool.

Gao Bo glanced at it and didn't bother.

...

One day off.

Many players have a good day on the beach in Brazil.

From the next day, the intense training began again.

The next opponent is the Dutch team. This is an opponent who has to fight a hundred points.

This is the last World Cup, the champion team of the World Cup in South Africa.

In fact, the Netherlands is a team called the "Uncrowned King" by media fans.

Although they have never won the World Cup, their strength is not inferior to any World Cup champion team.

The Netherlands is rich in football geniuses, from Cruyff to the Three Musketeers to Bergkamp. The golden generation of Ajax in 1996 to the present Van Nistelrooy, Robben... A long list of superstars has not won one A matching honorary World Cup champion, so he is called the uncrowned king.

In the 1974 World Cup in Germany, the Netherlands defeated Uruguay and Bulgaria respectively in the first round of the group stage, drew with Sweden, and advanced with a record of 2 wins and 1 tie.

In the second round of the group stage, the Dutch team won all three games, beating Argentina, Germany, and Brazil respectively.

In the final against the German team, they were reversed by Germany with 2 goals and placed second.

Cruyff won the title of best player.

In the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, the Netherlands lost to Argentina 1:3 in the final and finished second.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Japan, Denmark, and Cameroon were in the same group in the group stage and advanced with a record of scoring 5 goals and conceding 1 goal in three wins. In the 1/8 final against Slovakia, they defeated their opponents 2:1. Robben and Sneijder contributed to the Dutch team. In the quarter-finals against Brazil, it also defeated the opponent 2:1. When the Brazilian team scored a goal by Robinho, Melo's own goal and Sneijder's lore reversed the promotion of Brazil.

In the semi-finals, against the Uruguay team with Diego Forlan and Suarez, it was inextricably played, and finally defeated the Uruguay team 3:2 to advance to the final. Van Bronckhorst, Sneijder and Robben made contributions.

In the final against Spain, they played very anxiously and finally entered the overtime. In the overtime, with Iniesta's goal, Spain defeated the Dutch team 1-0 and won the championship. The Dutch team once again finished second.

The runner-up of the three World Cups has made the Dutch team "uncrowned king" a very sad name.

But at the same time, it also shows the strength of this team.

In the World Cup, England and the Netherlands only met once, and that was in the 1990 World Cup twenty-four years ago.

In that summer in the Apennines.

The Dutch team and the England team met each other, and the final match between the two teams became a 0-0 tie.

In fact, the first few matches between the two sides were also a tie, even though they were all played in friendly matches.

History does not represent the past.

Today, under Van Gaal's leadership.

The Dutch team once again launched an impact on the World Cup champion.

Under the kneading of the Dutch coach ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the performance of the Dutch team in this World Cup is very good.

Especially in the group stage.

The Dutch team and the Spanish team met in a narrow way.

The Dutch team successfully defeated Spain five to one and gave the previous champion a humiliating defeat. At the same time, they also reported the revenge of losing their opponents in the last World Cup final.

In the round of 16 games, the Dutch team defeated Mexico 2-1.

"Netherlands, I believe everyone is very clear about what this name means."

Before the start of the next day's training.

Gao Bo said to his players.

really.

Players who had a somewhat relaxed expression, their expressions became serious when they heard the name.

No matter who it is, the uncrowned king cannot be ignored.
