Holland in this group can be said to be the top of the sky, originally is the group of the world's highest-ranked country, and the Netherlands in 2022 after the smooth sailing, played 8 games completely undefeated, and achieved 6 wins and 2 draws, which includes a double in the UEFA Nations League powerhouse Belgium and Wales, the Netherlands now in addition to the attacking line does not have the general view of the top stars in the line, the stability of the midfield and solid backfield has become their biggest weapon. The solidity of the midfield and the backfield has become their biggest weapon. As long as they play with a rhythm, even if they don't have a super striker, Holland will still be able to win in the
League of Europe
Lots of goals scored by Ri.
The Dutch defense was led by
Liverpool (England)
Van Dijk led by the great general Van Dijk, although this year has been degraded but Van Dijk's importance in the Dutch defense is still absolute, the coach also brought last year's European Cup starter De Vrij, and Ajax's J.Timber with the
Manchester City
's Nathan Aké, with the very experienced Blind at left guard, and with the rising Malacia, this defense is in the
League of Europe
Ri isn't a drip, but the scoring power and offensive propulsion is pretty good, plus there's the
Bayern
München or Munich, capital of Bavaria, Germany
De Ligt, who made a fatal mistake in last year's European Cup, is back this year, and his style of play has become more rigid, and he is still fighting for the starting center back position, and on the right is Dumfries, who made a big splash in last year's European Cup, and is now said to be the most reliable attacker on the right wing of Holland, with a strong ability to break into the game and score points from shooting, and with a strong body to join in the midfield melee. The entire Dutch defense is solid and tough, and has a very good ability to advance, this kind of attack from the back row to push up, as well as the ability to rely on the defenders to grab the goal in the set piece is quite practical in the competition.
With Barcelona's F. De Jong at the center of the midfield, Koopmeines, the experienced Klaassen in front of them, and de Roon, who was a member of last year's European Cup, this midfield group is considered to be quite good at controlling the ball, and is also quite young. The Netherlands let their strong sweeping defenders protect the midfield group, so that they can feel at ease controlling the pace of the game, and then push forward with the two wings, and then let the forwards shoot. The Dutch have a well-established and tacitly understood way of playing that allows them to control the tempo of the game, then push the ball forward with the wings, and then let the strikers shoot at the goal.
There are actually a lot of candidates for Holland on the forward line, but it seems that ultimately the coach is relying on the
League of Europe
The two main attackers Depay and Bergwijn were the most outstanding performers in the tournament, Depay as a scorer is considered to be fast and efficient, Bergwijn has a very good side of the road to attack, both have scored a lot of goals, and after a few years of training they have been mature and stable attacking duo, with a focus on the two wings and the midfield group very well received, this tacit understanding is their weapon. This tacit understanding is their weapon.
Compared to the other three teams in Group A, only Senegal, who also have a lot of stars and a strong style of play, may have a chance to draw against the Netherlands, but basically it doesn't matter to the Netherlands.
beyond the pale
Just be careful not to accidentally fall into second place in your division.
Senegal, under the leadership of Panthers coach Aliou Cisse, is now the highest ranked team in Africa in the FIFA rankings. Senegal is ranked 18th in the latest FIFA rankings, which makes them the strongest team in Africa, but Mané's injury may add to their uncertainty.
Senegal is a star-studded team with a large number of players who have traveled to Europe in recent years, and many of these players have played for the big football clubs. Mané is the strongest attacker in the team, playing on the left side of the field, but he is very explosive, and not only can go back to the center of the field to steal the ball, but also can go into the penalty area to play as a striker, but he got injured at the last moment, but the coach still chose him to play in the team.
the national team
The coach thinks Mane should be able to play in the later matches, which is correct because the grouping of this year's Senegal is very good, even if Mané is missing, it should not be a problem to reach the round of sixteen, but after reaching the round of sixteen, it is very likely that they will meet England, and if Mane is able to play in time, he will be an important player.
While Idrissa Gueye, who anchors the midfield, now plays for Everton, but was in the starting lineup for Paris up until last year, the 33-year-old is still fit, and he's already playing for the
the national team
With 11 years under his belt and having been through the last 2018 World Cup campaign, he can be considered quite an experienced midfield helmsman.
Senegal's defense is their biggest feature, and the most famous one is the strong center back Koulibaly, his strong body and mobility are his characteristics, and he has a strong ability to clear the ball in defense, which is the biggest pillar of Senegal's defense, and Diallo as Koulibaly's partner is also equally strong, and he played for Paris until last year, and he has been rented to Red Bull Leipzig this year temporarily. Red Bull Leipzig, Ballo-Touré and Sabaly are both solid assisting wingbacks.
Senegal's entire team is very physical, almost all of them are extremely strong and fit, and many of them are explosive and fast, so they can compete with any team without losing, which makes them a very tough team to deal with.
