The Dutch team had been on holiday for a week in The Hague at a time when the other giants had already started training and even played warm-up games. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This made the Dutch media reporters worried, is the Netherlands here for a holiday, or is it for a training camp to prepare for the World Cup?

Criticism began to emerge.

'Van Marwijk is too relaxed and the Dutch team should have started training earlier.

"Damn Van Marwijk has betrayed our trust!"

"God, the Dutch team spent a week on the beach in The Hague, did they adapt to the hot climate of South Africa?"

Amid criticism from journalists and fans, the Dutch team departed for Amsterdam to begin training for the upcoming South African world.

This made the fans breathe a little sigh of relief, but the reporter did not let the Dutch coach go.

At Amsterdam International Airport, as soon as the Dutch team appeared, Van Marwijk was surrounded by reporters.

"Don't you think a week's vacation in The Hague is too long, Mr. van Marwijk?"

"Mr. Van Marwijk, Italy already played a warm-up game yesterday and have a warm-up game in three days' time, how many warm-up games have been scheduled for the Dutch team? Who are the opponents? ”

"Mr. Van Marwijk, what is the goal of the Dutch team at this World Cup?"

……

Countless shells were thrown at the Dutch manager.

Van Marwijk removed his sunglasses, his face a tanned under the light of the week, and the contours of his face became more defined.

'The players have just finished a tough season and they need time to adjust, so I think a holiday by the sea is a good way to do it.

Van Marwijk stubbornly believes he wasn't wrong: "As for the warm-up games, I don't think it's too many. What we need to do now is mainly to recover, not to get into the groove as quickly as possible. ”

'As for the goal of the World Cup, we have to get to at least the last four and if possible, we will go for the title.

Reaching the Final Four?

God, we're the Dutch team, where are your ambitions?

Journalists were even more dissatisfied, with a young reporter asking: "The world knows that this Dutch team is the most talented team in the last two decades. Dutch fans hope that this Dutch team can live up to the World Cup dreams of generations of Dutch footballers in South Africa. ”

"It's just the goal of the semi-finals, it's hard to satisfy the Dutch fans!"

Van Marwijk shook his head and said: "It's not just about strength in the World Cup, when you get to the knockout rounds, the winner is often the luckier team in a match of equal strength. ”

"Competing for the Hercules Cup is the ultimate goal for every player and every team, but I don't want to put too much burden on my players."

"As long as we work hard and do our best, whether the fans are satisfied or not, we are worthy of ourselves."

The reporter was in an uproar, since Van Marwijk attributed the victory and defeat to "luck"!

In the following period, not only the Dutch media were bombarding Van Marwijk's "luck theory", but even the media in other countries were criticizing him.

Milan Sport commented: Winning or losing a match of comparable quality is down to "luck", and Van Marwijk is now making excuses for the defeat at the World Cup.

When they lose, he can say something like, "We've done our best, but the other side has better luck than us, so it's not us who wins." ”

God, as a national team manager, as a coach of a team of favourites to win the championship, he does not think about how to match the squad and stimulate the competitive state of every player, but attributes the victory and defeat to luck.

There is no one else in this world except Van Marwijk......

The Telegraph, the Netherlands' biggest print media, has harshly criticised Van Marwijk: "Although we know that at this juncture, the Dutch team needs more encouragement.

But how do we encourage a team that has been on vacation for a week on the beach, how do we encourage a manager who puts victory or defeat down to luck?

The outcome of a game depends first on the strength of the two sides, followed by the state of the players, the tactical arrangement of the coach, the competitive state of the opponent, and finally the luck.

But I didn't expect that Van Marwijk would rank luck before the state of the players and the tactical arrangements of the coach!

We hope that Mr. Van Marwijk will clearly understand the rules of the football game, abandon the nonsense of "luck theory", and get the players back to form as soon as possible.

……

Van Marwijk laughed off these criticisms, knowing that grades are the last word, and when you succeed, those criticisms will die down.

Once you lose on the field, no matter how much the media and fans support you and praise you before that, they will attack you after the defeat.

Just like Van Basten, at Euro 08, the group stage came with a winning record, with the media and fans praising the Dutch attack as gorgeous.

But when the Dutch team stopped in the first round of the knockout round, the previous praise disappeared in an instant, and Van Basten was greeted by a flood of criticism.

……

On the 27th, the Dutch team held its first training session after the training camp at the Ajax training base.

Journalists gathered outside the training ground.

On the training ground, the players burst into laughter, as if they were not affected by the media criticism at all.

Chen Fan revisited the old place, and had a different feeling.

When he walked into the training base, he took the initiative to hug Johnson, who was guarding the gate at the base, warmly.

Johnson pointed to the statue of Cruyff not far away and said, "Chen, keep up the good work, and let your statue stand there in the future!" ”

Chen Fan waved his fist in response: "Okay! I'll try! ”

When he stepped into the training turf, he looked at the familiar grass and trees, where he was training with his Ajax team-mates last year, fighting for miracles.

Now he is going to fight for the Hercules Cup with his teammates in the Dutch team.

In training, Van Marwijk only had some recovery sessions and no confrontations.

The atmosphere on the training ground was good, and perhaps a week-long getaway had taken the players away, and they were seriously jogging, speeding up and running back and forth under the guidance of the assistant coach......

The hour-and-a-half training session was over quickly, and as soon as the players stepped out of the pitch, they were surrounded by a group of reporters outside.

"What do you think of Van Marwijk's 'luck'? Is there really luck in a close game? ”

Almost every Dutch player has to face such questions from reporters.

Robben ignored the reporter's tricky questions and said: "The weather is good today, we are recovering quickly, and when we get to South Africa, we will be back to our best!" ”

Van Persie replied: "Mr van Marwijk has made a lot of changes to the Dutch team, and these changes have helped us to achieve good results, and I support him! ”

The two did not directly answer the reporter's question, Chen Fan did not evade, and said: "Doesn't a close game need luck?" ”

'I remember last season at Ajax, my goals, including the zero-degree goal, you can tell at the time, I was lucky!

"Have you forgotten what you once said?"
