Holland-England: Battle of… conservatism for a place in the Euro final!

by

After the great first semi-final and her qualification Spainhis second finalist Euro 2024 will be judged on Dortmund!

THE Netherlands confronts her England at “Signal Iduna Park”, with two teams with quite an audience so far competitive person to enter the battle for a place in the grand final of the event.

On the one hand, the “Oranie” have reached the top four without impressing, but with a relatively stable presence. His team Ronald Koeman it is quite… conservative compared to earlier “versions”. Netherlandsbut managed to make her best run in several years, having a competitive face that could be described as “serious”.

Of course, the opponents he had to eliminate to get this far weren’t even… behemoths. The Dutch finished third behind Austria and France in Group Four before knocking out weak Romania (3-0) and then the Turkey with a reversal (2-1) and enough difficulty. Be that as it may, this is a quality and “solid” team, with many chances for the final.

On the other hand, England entered the event with enthusiasm and although he has managed to reach the semi-finals, he has largely “disappeared”, mainly due to the problematic presence of his whole Gareth Southgate.

The “three lions” play “annoyingly” conservative football despite the great quality in their roster, but somehow they managed to reach the top four and the road to the coveted title looks more open than ever. In the round of 16, they eliminated her Slovakia although they avoided defeat in stoppage time with his scissors kick Jude Bellinghamwhile in the quarter-finals they made another indifferent appearance and broke their barrier Switzerland on penalties.

It remains to be seen if the England she will manage to show her quality on the grass for at least once in the event. If he succeeds, he will be the favorite, but the Netherlands it’s a matching set that knows how to get what it wants. We expect a very competitive match which can go… far!

Netherlands (Kuman, 4-3-3): Verbruggen – Ake, Van Dijk, De Frey, Dumfries – Ryders, Simmons, Southen – Hakpo, Mallen, Depay.

England (Southgate, 3-4-2-1): Pickford – Walker, Stones, Gueye – Saka, Mainu, Rice, Shaw – Foden, Bellingham – Kane.
