Chapter 348 Two Heavens in the Dressing Room

As soon as they returned to the dressing room, everyone couldn't wait to chat about England's goals.

When the incident happened, everyone was in different positions and focused on different things. Many English players did not know the whole process of the incident.

The coaching staff and the substitute players have seen it all, but they don't know the crux of Ronald De Boer's "rebellion".

The starting players described what they saw and heard one sentence at a time, and each person would be interrupted by another person after two sentences. Everyone seemed to be in no hurry to know the truth, and they were all trying to fill in their brains. The locker room continued to burst into earth-shattering laughter.

Waited until Shearer came out of the bathroom to get to the point: "David, what happened before you passed the ball?"

Beckham and Batty turned their heads at the same time, and found that the focus of attention was on the former.

Sure enough, beauty is justice
Beckham felt a little embarrassed, because he was good-looking, so he was always regarded as the source of success, and any good thing could be involved.

Of course, there are also side effects. Most people subconsciously think that if they look good, they should play well.

Once the performance is not satisfactory, it will definitely be smashed, as if both praise and criticism have a superimposed effect.

Beckham pointed to Batty and said: "I saw the opponent pass the ball to him before I started running. You should ask him what he said to Ronald?"

"What did that say?" Shearer asked as he took off his shirt.

Batty spread his hands and said: "I don't care what I say. Every time Jonker shouts a word to him, he can get a pass, so I imitate his voice and shout the same words. It's that simple."

Hearing Batty's answer, the locker room was quiet for a moment, and everyone laughed again.

It turns out that things are that simple?
Fortunately, everyone just made up a bunch of twists and turns and bizarre stories. I didn't expect Ronald De Boer to make a mistake that a 10-year-old child can basically avoid.

Keegan waited for everyone to vent their emotions before starting to summarize: "We did not fully play the expected effect in the first half. First, the Dutch team deployed precise zone defensive tactics against Michael, and his characteristics did not play out. Second, our central advantage was not obvious, and the effect of three-on-two was not fully exerted. Third, our emotions fluctuated a lot after conceding a goal, and the situation on the court was extremely passive."

"Michael has to increase his running range in the second half and try to contain the defensive strength of the Dutch team as much as possible. Your performance in the process of scoring is very good, continue."

"We still have to take advantage of the number of people in the middle, first go to the middle and then play the side."

"Alan Shearer looks for opportunities to lean on Frank De Boer. We can choose to put the ball straight into the penalty area and let you be the fulcrum to launch the attack."

"If there is no set piece, don't force a cross, the Netherlands have controlled the cross very well."

Keegan quickly arranged the game within 5 minutes, and the England bosses were happy again.

"Let's just play football and tell time the result!"

"Yeah, it feels like Kevin is talking nonsense, he can see it, don't we know it?"

As soon as Keegan's voice fell, players began to arrange him. This is why Hoddle has refused to speak in the locker room after he was pulled down.

If he was placed in this position at this time, he would probably be so angry that he would shut himself up.

But Keegan laughed loudly: "I didn't even realize this. John and the others told me, and I recited it!"

"Is the threshold for the head coach of the England team so low now? Let Neil say a few words next time!"

Keegan ran over and locked Ince, who was talking flirtatiously, with his arms, and everyone laughed.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Please pay attention to the gentleman's demeanor!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Neil Bright slammed on the blackboard with a serious face, and after attracting everyone's attention, he shouted with a serious face: "There is still a game in the second half, pay attention to maintain your strength!"

After saying this, even he himself laughed out loud, and the locker room burst into laughter again.

Unlike the England team that scored before the end of the first half, the Dutch team's locker room was full of gunpowder. Cocu smashed the locker and asked Ronald De Boer why he passed the ball to the opponent.

Ronald De Boer didn't explain his emotions, the two of them fought each other, the other teammates stood in their own lines, and the locker room was in chaos.

Head coach Guus Hiddink continuously signaled everyone to be quiet, but no one bought it at all, and could only stand aside with a gloomy face.

Although he already has a certain influence in European football, all the achievements of his coaching career have been achieved in Eindhoven, and the main players of this Dutch team are almost all Ajax.

The players have no emotional basis for him, and they can usually get by.But in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, the pressure is completely incomparable with normal times, and everyone's emotions are magnified several times. In this situation, I really don't want to dump him.

Even if you just look at the coaching results, Hiddink's prestige is not so great that everyone is convinced.

The glorious period of his coaching career can be traced back to ten years ago, when he led PSV to win the Eredivisie, domestic cup and Champions League treble in one fell swoop.

But after leaving Eindhoven, he did not achieve any success in Fenerbahce, Valencia or Real Madrid, and often left the team sadly.

To be honest, his achievements are not enough in the eyes of the proud Dutch players.

Although the players of the Dutch team are currently all over the top European teams, they are still born in Ajax. At this moment of tension, not to mention Cruyff, at least it must be a head coach like Van Gaal who has the grace to speak.

After all, most of the players from Ajax in the Netherlands were single-handedly selected by him at the time. In terms of prestige, it means that he speaks well.

The current situation has reached the point where Hiddink is not allowed to intervene, and it is up to the players themselves to solve the problem immediately.

Just when everyone's words in the locker room became more and more sharp, and there was a tendency to gradually turn from confrontation to people, the Dutch team's locker room suddenly made a loud noise.

The sudden loud noise made everyone tremble. Everyone looked for their reputation, but the table was still rolling on the ground, and there was a sharp impact sound. Captain Frank DeBoer looked at everyone angrily: "What's the use of saying this now?"

He pointed to the clock and continued to shout: "Look at the time, are we going to waste time arguing?"

Following his two roars, the locker room fell silent, and quite a few players were panting heavily, feeling more tired than at the end of halftime.

After more than 5 minutes of hysterical quarrels, the morale of the Dutch players dropped a lot before the game.

No one spoke for almost 2 minutes, and everyone sat in front of the locker angrily.

Although the quarrel stopped, the situation is still not good.

Unwilling, Ke Ku broke the silence, and said with a cold snort, "Look at what your good brother did, our first half was wasted."

Ronald De Boer became emotional again. He doesn't understand what happened at that moment now, and he is willing to suffer any grievances.

Seeing that the two were about to start the second round of their quarrel, Frank De Boer glared at his younger brother, and finally calmed down the second round of fighting.

Arguing at the rhythm of these two people, the 15-minute intermission time is not enough for them to argue for three rounds.

Frank De Boer asked about the situation one by one, and it took a few minutes for everyone to find out that it was Batty's voice imitating Jonker who tricked Ronald De Boer into passing the ball.

It's a big shame.

At this conclusion, the Dutch players looked at me and I looked at you, and laughed awkwardly.

The sudden incident, coupled with the quarrel when they came back, made everyone's minds dumbfounded, and they didn't expect such a big oolong to happen.

Hiddink asked both parties to shake hands, and both of them did so embarrassingly.

Just when Hiddink wanted to seize the time to arrange tactics, the fourth official pushed the door and signaled to enter the field quickly.

It was only then that everyone realized that 15 minutes was wasted on messy things, and the opportunity to summarize tactics was wasted in vain.

Hiddink tapped the blackboard and said, "Just play according to your ideas, anyway, you often don't hear it."

The manager's humor evoked self-deprecating grins from the Dutch players as he emerged from the dressing room to see the English players with glowing faces.

The most intense 45 minutes of this World Cup is about to kick off.
