No. 1131: A way to contain Chen Fan!

After the Netherlands' victory over Italy, they flew from Warsaw to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, the next day, where the final will be played.

The Spanish team had arrived in Kyiv a day earlier, and in interviews at the airport, they said they wanted to defend their title.

Casillas said: "No one in history has ever defended the title, but I believe Spain can do it! ”

Ramos said: "Chen is a problem, but we are confident that we can solve it! ”

Pique said: "The scene of two years ago will not be repeated, Spain can win in the end! ”

Spanish coach Bosque said: "The Netherlands are a very strong team, but we don't fall twice in the same place! ”

The arrival of the Netherlands attracted a great deal of attention from journalists from the media, who were surrounded by them at the airport.

Coach Donny van Marwijk said: "Spain have come a long way in the last two years and they are the best team in the world today. The Netherlands haven't been in great form lately and I hope we can get the best fit for the next two days, it's hard, but I hope we can do it! ”

"As for the perception of the final, I think both teams have a chance to win in the end."

The Catalan media reporter almost spat on the ground, damn it, the Netherlands is not in good form and can still reach the final?

You are insulting Italy!

Van Persie said in an interview: "I am confident that we will be the second team after France to win the European Championship after the World Cup! ”

He half-jokingly said: "The main thing is that I have confidence in Chen, he is the most enterprising and victorious player I have ever seen!" ”

Robben said: "I am recovering under the guidance of the team doctor and coach and I hope to be on the final stage! ”

Chen Fan said: "I have already said after the semi-finals about my attitude and views on the final. If you want to know more, please follow me on social media. ”

Chen Fan did not forget to promote the Qingfeng platform at this time.

……

Dutch fans follow the footsteps of the Dutch team to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, by various means of transport, they are here to cheer and shout, of course, what they want most is to see their team win the European Championship with their own eyes!

Spanish fans also came, hoping that their team would be successful in defending their title. No team has won two consecutive European Championships in the thirteen editions of the tournament, and Spanish fans are hoping their team can change that history.

With the arrival of Spanish and Dutch players, the European Championship final is getting closer.

Regarding the pinnacle matchup between Spain and the Netherlands, the media launched a pre-match prediction.

Marca newspaper said: "If Spain wants to defend their title, then they must do the following three things!

The first point: guard against Chen!

The second point: be sure to guard against Chen!

The third point: do everything you can to prevent Chen!

As long as these three things can be achieved, the victory will definitely belong to Spain! ”

The Guardian analysed: "Spain fielded a strikerless squad in the semi-final against Germany and could send such a squad in the final to extend their advantage in midfield and control the game with midfield quality.

As for the Dutch team, it is not surprising that Van Marwijk will still line up in a 4231 formation. The biggest advantage of this formation is that the two midfielders can erect a barrier in front of the back line and strengthen the defence.

However, whether Van Marwijk's intentions can be realized depends on Van Bommel's state and whether De Jong can control his impulsive personality.

Van Bommel is indeed old, but the Netherlands have not yet found his successor, so he can only continue to play for the Dutch team. After the World Cup in South Africa, Van Bommel told the media that he would leave the Dutch team.

But there was no better option for the Dutch midfield, so Van Bommel returned to the Dutch team after being persuaded by Van Marwijk.

Judging from this cup competition, Van Bommel is indeed old and cannot keep up with the younger players in the game.

As for De Jong, he often gets a red card because of impulsiveness.

In the just-concluded semi-finals, he gave Italy a big gift at the last moment - impulsively put Pirlo down in the penalty area, Italy won a penalty, Balotelli converted the penalty, the score became 3-4, Italy rekindled the hope of equalizing!

With a two-goal lead, the Netherlands could have played the final minutes of the game calmly, but it was his impulsiveness that brought the game back into suspense, leading to Italy almost equalising.

If De Jong makes another mistake like this in the final, even if the Dutch trident can all play, the Netherlands will most likely lose at the feet of Spain.

In addition to these two midfielders, two of the Dutch centre-backs have been criticised for their frequent distractions in the game.

These are the shortcomings of the Netherlands, and if Van Marwijk can't solve them, it will be Spain who will have the last laugh.

Of course, 'as long as you have Chen, you have the strength to compete for any title!' The phrase is still valid, and Chan told all of Europe with thirteen goals – I can score any team's goal!

I would also like to add that I can break anyone's goal more than once!

Of course, the Spanish defenders know this, so they will guard Chen tightly. The success of Chen's defence will go a long way in determining whether Spain can become the first team to defend the European Championships.

So, one of the highlights of the final was how Spain curbed Chen's play. ”

World Sports News gave its own opinion on curbing Chen Fan: "First of all, we must pay serious attention to Chen's off-ball running.

In the semi-finals against Russia and Italy, Chen has a record of running forward with the ball and rushing forward. So the Spanish defender must pay attention to Chen's off-ball running!

Second, containment.

After Chen gets the ball, he must be surrounded and not given him the space to break through and the opportunity to play his speed. Also, pay attention to his passing, which he can often pass to unmarked teammates when he is in a tight situation.

Thirdly, don't give the Netherlands a free-kick opportunity within 40 metres of the goal.

Chen's free-kick was terrifying, and he scored directly from a free kick 40 meters away in the semi-finals, so he couldn't be given a chance to take a free kick!

Fourth, the blocking in the restricted area.

The biggest difference between Chen and Ronaldo is that they can't shoot when they don't grasp the opportunity. So it is necessary to strengthen the blocking in the penalty area, so that he can reduce the number of shots on goal! ”

The article was ridiculed by the Dutch Telegraph: "If this can contain Chen, Barcelona will be killed by Real Madrid five times in a row?"

Let's talk about blocking, in which game did Chen not play under the siege of the opponent?

But how many teams didn't let him score?

It's even funnier when it comes to free-kicks, 'Don't give the Netherlands a chance to take a free-kick within 40 metres of the goal.' Do they know what it means to be 40 metres from goal?

This range covers almost the entire half!

That is to say, Spain cannot give the Netherlands a chance to take a free-kick in front, is this possible? ”
