No. 489: Infighting!
With the end of the match between Spain and Switzerland, the first round of the World Cup is over, and the round of 32 is all unveiled. The most eye-catching performers in the www.biquge.info were the Netherlands and Germany, the only two teams to win big.
Spain emerged as the most embarrassing team, the only team among the favourites to lose.
The Netherlands traveled to KwaZulu the day after their victory over Denmark? Durban in Natal, their second match will be played at the Durban Stadium.
Arriving in Durban, the Netherlands quickly trained and actively prepared for the match against Japan.
What people didn't expect was that in the first training session in Durban, Robben was injured!
In the group confrontation, Robben took Sneijder's pass and quickly dribbled the ball on the side, and Van der Vaart, who was in the substitute lineup, made a flying tackle and shoveled Robben directly out of the field!
What is even more surprising is that Van der Vaart didn't even step forward to apologize to Robben after getting up from the turf!
Robben clutched his right leg in agony, rolling on the turf, and the Dutch team looked at Van der Vaart in shock, no one knew why he did it.
Van Marwijk had a gloomy face, and if Robben was injured, the Netherlands would have become a single wing......
Robben was quickly taken to the hospital for examination, and finally the team doctor told Van Marwijk that Robben needed to rest for two weeks!
The stone in Van Marwijk's heart fell slightly, at least Robben could still catch up with the knockout round.
Why did Van der Vaart do this?
Of course, the Dutch coach knows that as the main force of the Dutch team, Van der Vaart was born in a famous family, became famous at a young age, wore the jersey of the Dutch team at the age of eighteen, and is now in the prime of life.
He's telling Van Marwijk that you're ignoring me, so I'm going to remind you in this way.
What's the most taboo thing about the competition?
Infighting, of course.
What can Van Marwijk do to Van der Vaart and fire him?
There are not enough reasons for this, and there is speculation that he Van Marwijk will be thrust into the limelight again.
But what if Van der Vaart's next target is Sneijder, or Chen Fan and Van Persie?
……
"It's a weird atmosphere today."
Back in the hotel room, Chen Fan brought Van Persie a glass of water, looked at him and said: "After Robben was injured, I found that four or five players did not come forward to inquire about Robben's injury at all. ”
Van Persie took the glass and sighed: "You have been in the Dutch team for more than a year, and you know a little bit about the situation in the team. ”
Chen Fan sat on the bed, ready to wash his ears and listen.
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The biggest force in the Dutch team is Ajax, Sneijder, you, Stekelenburg, Van der Vaart, Van der Wiel, etc. are all players who came out of Ajax. ”
"If you're not from Ajax, Van der Vaart's kick today is likely to hit your leg!"
Chen Fan was silent.
Remembering the scene of Robben rolling on the turf in pain, his heart began to ache.
With the superstar system, he is not afraid of injury, but the World Cup has just begun, and this is the case in the Dutch team, and the atmosphere in the team immediately changes subtly.
This will inevitably have an impact on future matches and cast a shadow over the future of the Netherlands.
As for why Van der Vaart did this, Chen Fan can guess.
In another room, Sneijder, Van Bommel and Van Bronckhorst sat together.
These three are undoubtedly the big names in the Dutch team, one is the tactical core, one is the spiritual leader of the dressing room, and the other is the captain.
Van Bronckhorst broke the silence and said: "This sign must be broken!" ”
Sneijder shook his head and said, "Pinch off? How can it be so easy to ......"
Van Bommel opened his eyes and looked at the two of them and said, "You don't care about this matter, I'll solve it." ”
With that, he pushed open the door and walked out.
Van Bronckhorst and Sneijder did not expect Van Bommel to take immediate action, Van Bronckhorst shouted to Van Bommel: "You have to control your emotions and speak well to Van der Vaart." ”
Van Bommel waved his hand at them, signaling that he already knew.
What the two didn't expect was that Van Bommel did not go to Van der Vaart, but went directly to Van Marwijk's room.
After entering the room, Van Bommel said straight to the head coach of the Netherlands: "Coach, you will let me be a substitute in the next game and let Van der Vaart start." ”
Van Marwijk was surprised and impressed.
Everyone knows that the World Cup in South Africa is the last World Cup for veteran Van Bommel, and he plays one less game.
"Maybe there's another solution."
Van Marwijk said in a deep voice: "Robben is injured now, we can change the formation to four-four-two, we can put one more person in midfield, you don't have to sit on the bench. ”
Van Bommel may be 33 years old, but as a veteran, his wealth of experience will play an important role in key moments.
And he was in good form, with three successful tackles against Denmark, a statistic even higher than that of Frenkie de Jong.
"Okay, I'll talk to Van der Vaart."
Van Bommel was a resolute man and immediately left Van Marwijk's room to find Van der Vaart.
……
The news of Robben's injury in training immediately appeared in the media, and the Dutch fans were extremely depressed, and the wings were just getting off the ground, and they immediately broke one wing.
The Argentine Clarion newspaper immediately made a big fuss: the Netherlands is hidden in infighting, Robben was tackled by his teammates in training and may withdraw from the World Cup!
The Netherlands returned to tradition in the first round with a big victory, but people seem to have forgotten another Dutch tradition - infighting!
In the 90 World Cup, the Dutch team with the "Dutch Three Musketeers" came to Italy with the momentum of the 88 European Championship, but they stopped in the first round of the knockout round.
After arriving in Italy, news of disunity within the Netherlands appeared in the media, and it can be said that the Netherlands defeated itself in that World Cup.
After 20 years, the Netherlands is once again strong, but they are also infighting again!
According to sources, Robben was injured by a flying tackle while dribbling the ball during a team confrontation.
Robben, who was carried out of the training ground on a stretcher, had a very painful expression, and he was likely to say goodbye to this World Cup!
……
As soon as this news was sent, Robben's supporters could not sit still, and they shouted to find the "murderer" and punish him severely.
More Dutch fans have a shadow over their hearts.
The report of the Cape of Good Hope newspaper in Argentina got the media in other countries into action, and they asked through various channels how Robben was injured and who made him hurt.
For a time, the Netherlands became the object of heated media discussion.
Van Marwijk had to stand up and say to the media at such a time: "There is no infighting in the Dutch team, Robben's injury is because the confrontation is too intense. ”
But how many people believe this kind of statement?
