On June 22, 2024, Beijing time, in the second round of Group D of the European Cup, a focus battle worth staying up late will start at 3 o'clock in the morning: France VS the Netherlands. The star-studded France faces the Netherlands, which is fully offensive and defensive. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides played a high-quality, high-level 0-0! Dutch Simons scored, but Dumfries was ruled offside and the goal was blown away. Mbappe sat for 90 minutes and did not play.
Arsene Wenger, a famous coach who once coached Arsenal, also came to watch the game.
Since Mbappe's injury, the focus of the European Championship for the French team has been on Mbappe's mask. INTERVIEWER Is it a blue, white, and red mask, or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask? The answer is neither: because UEFA stipulates that the mask color scheme must be monochrome. In the end, Mbappe's mask is "the same" as Son Xingmin in the 2022 World Cup.
Looking at the starting line-ups of both sides, both sides used a 433 formation. The goalkeeper is France Maignan vs Welbrugen of the Netherlands. Comparison of the backline:
The Netherlands back four are: Dumfries, Van Dijk, De Vrij, Ake.
France's four defenders are: Jules Kounde, Upamecano, Saliba, and Te'o.
In terms of the comparison of the backline, the strength of the two sides is about the same.
The three Dutch forwards are: Schouten, Simmons, Reinders.
France's three forwards are: N'Golo Kante, Tchouameni, Rabiot.
In midfield, France is stronger.
The three Dutch strikers are: Frimpong, Depay, Gakpo.
France's three forwards are: Antoine Griezmann, Thuram, Dembele.
The French strikers are famous, and the Dutch strikers have a good counter-attacking ability.
Judging from the confrontation of the three midfielders, the French team's defensive coverage area, just one Kante, is enough for 70%. Plus Tchouameni. And the attacking trident of the Dutch team: Gakpo, Depay, Frimpong, cross-movement is also flexible.
In the first half, both sides did not dare to exert their full strength, but they also played at least 7 success points with their respective elite technical and tactical abilities. - Just four minutes into the game, Antoine Griezmann suddenly fired a cold arrow, and the Dutch goalkeeper sent the ball away. Mbappe sat on the bench, and the French team attacked Griezmann.
Four minutes later, the Dutch team attacked into the French penalty area, and Depay attracted multiple defensive points by himself, and almost formed a shot. But N'Golo Kante was quick to get in place.
In the 13th minute, France missed a great chance! Rabiot slotted into the Dutch box and played the ball to Antoine Griezmann next to him. It's a pity that the latter didn't respond well enough and didn't take advantage of the opportunity.
In the 28th minute, Thuram successfully countered offside, and a few big steps formed a single advantage, but unfortunately the shooting angle was very small, and the ball flew directly.
Then in the 40th minute, Antoine Griezmann came to the center forward position, and the French cross looked for the number 7. Antoine Griezmann's header but not enough power!
At the beginning of the second half, Dembele broke through Ake violently! Dembele was very fast and Ake defended a little hard.
In the following ten minutes, there were not many highlights. Both sides have been back and forth, almost all of them are thinking about how to limit their opponents. - While limiting the opponent, you are also limiting yourself. - This is the helpless scene that often occurs in the duel of giants.
Of course, there is also a striking place, again from N'Golo Kante! Born in 1991, he is 33 years old, and went to Saudi Arabia to play, Kante's explosive power is still so strong: covering a large area, suddenly starting at speed, and even overtaking opponents, the picture is constantly staged - Kante, it is really the happiness of the French team!
From 55 to 68 minutes, it was France who took the initiative on the field, and several shot threats came from France. Antoine Griezmann had a good chance in front of the penalty area, but it was saved by the Dutch goalkeeper!
But in the 68th minute, the Netherlands opened the scoring. Simmons hits goal. But the linesman signaled that the Dutch attack interfered with the French goalkeeper. - This is the highlight of this European Cup, a huge moment of controversy.
The controversy was over whether Dumfries interfered with French goalkeeper Maignan. After VAR intervened and decided that the ball was an interference ball.
The two sides began to deploy troops: the French team arranged for Giroud and Koeman to play. On the Dutch side, Ferman, Hetleida, Wijnaldum, Weghorst played. - The Netherlands came off the bench with four players to continue to strengthen their attack. Mbappe, who was expected by the fans, did not play.
In the end, the match between France and the Netherlands was tied 0-0, which was also the first 0-0 in this European Cup! Despite not scoring, both sides played well technically and tactically.
