An excellent imagination is required to trust French women, which was still so impressive. After 0: 4 against England, the Dutch coach was supposed to answer the provocative question of the compatriot, whether his team could abandon this next enemy with three, four or more goals. This is the only way to prevent an early trip home from this European championship next Sunday.
The 62-year-old coach admitted his belief that the Netherlands, the European champions since 2017, will continue to be causing and not impressed by a rude defeat, except for Spain, will continue to be at the eye level with the ten fuels of the best teams. This point of view was quite durable for a long time, but on Wednesday evening, on Wednesday evening, you should come to the conclusion: the date of expiration of the thesis was exceeded.
Lack of resistance
The proven forces of the past, such as Jackie Golden (30), Daniel Van de Donk (33) or Sherida Spitts (35), above his performance scenario, retractors cannot compensate for this in a necessary way. Against England, the lack of physical resistance can sometimes be interpreted as early surrender. In the especially weak first half, the Dutch won only 38 percent of their duels.
The ATTAKE Department was also not very profitable for the Dutch loss of loss. Throughout the game, only one shot appeared. Pressing in English women, attacking friends could force themselves to bring themselves into an unusual reverse equipment. The fact that the goalkeeper Daphny van Domseliaar ultimately had the most ballless contacts among her colleagues, talks a lot about this game. “We did not play like a team. We were completely embarrassed, ”the 25-year-old complained.
These problems are actually not completely new. Andris Jonker involuntarily drew attention to this when the asking spoke of the highest defeat for the Netherlands at the press conference. “Certainly?” Jonker said: “I remember 0: 4 against Germany.” It was only at the end of May. Meanwhile, the reporter preceded the fact that the current decline against England was the highest defeat in the tournament.
It really does not care about him, Jonker knew. A man cannot be concerned quickly quickly. In Zurich you sometimes had the impression that it could also be a problem. Throughout the season, the coach mainly stood in the pockets of his dark jacket. He allowed to go through the injury time without supporting his players with the help and instructions. Each coach has his own style. The fact that from Jonker is definitely not energy, generates.
A certain distance between the coach and the team was not lost in Zurich. The playmaker Van de Donk, who was replaced in the 66th minute, told the television channels that she could play from the very beginning. This should be a misunderstanding, said Andris Jonker later. With doctors, and she came to the conclusion that she could play only 20 to 25 minutes.
The Dutch association came to this point of view in January and did not extend the contract with Jonker, which was the time for a new beginning. Arjan Verink becomes his successor. Of course, it was not a very good idea to allow the old period to go to the European Championship with Jonker. How players should trust a coach whom the association no longer trusts.
