Constrasting Styles

June 10th, 2006 | By: Mike | 3 Comments »

On Sunday we have what is one of the most obvious constrasts in playing styles and tactics. The Dutch are known for their attacking flair while the Serbians gained a reputation for being defensively solid throughout the qualifying campaign. Who will prevail…?

Well, it seems we’re often in a position like this, in most qualification games for instance. It takes tactics (keeping the park wide, fast-paced passing, runs from midfield, set-pieces) and individual skills to unsettle them. If we’re in topform, we’ll beat them, if we’re not or if we’re unlucky (referee decisions for instance), than we won’t :-).

Well The match can be compared to Netherlands- Italy in Euro 2000 but back then the Netherlands had a better squad, Italy were ten men and Stam was always there for us in defence, I am personaly worried about the defence !

agree Ahmad, looks like Heitinga is gonna play as rightback, dont like him at all, seen him play many times this year and think hes not very confident

think Marco is gonna play Boularouz as a guard on Kezman who is by far their best attacking player, i personally have great believe in Boula so lets hope we wont see Kezman for 90 minutes tomorrow

Just saw our other group opponants Arg. beat Ivory 2-1
Any opinios on that game??,

i meself was impressed by the speed of ivory (and good goal by Drogba) but think they played very naive in defence, well get changes for sure against ivorycoast
argentinia was pretty strong, though they had their proplems in the beginning of the game…

well people, a good night sleep and tomorrow the world is ORANJE!!
