Chapter 431 The Netherlands qualified for the World Cup!
November soon came, and the training in October came to an end.
Center back Akanji has been improved to 76 points, and right back Dumfries has been improved to 79 points.
Midfielder Grealish has been improved to 78 points, and central midfielder Yin Chengjie has been improved to 81 points.
Left winger Jia Kopp has been improved to 81 points, and forward Xu Qiang has been improved to 84 points.
Left winger Jing Shao improved to 68 points, and center back Shen Wei improved to 64 points.
Midfielder Sheng Jialong has been improved to 67 points, and right winger Chang Baode has been improved to 66 points.
Right back Cheng Zhenzhong has been improved to 64 points, and left winger He Chen has been improved to 66 points.
Left winger Li Ang has been improved to 66 points, and central midfielder Xiang Rong has been improved to 68 points.
Center back Qian Long has been improved to 74 points, and forward Hao Xuechang has been improved to 64 points.
The next step is to plan the training for November, and as usual, triple training cards are used.
The first one selected the "race against time" training project, choosing Ruben Dias, Skriniar, Akanji, Dumfries, Ndidi, Yin Chengjie, De Jong, Kopmenas, Shen Wei, Cheng Zhenzhong, Xiang Rong, Qian Long, Chang Gang, Gu Jin, Xu Zongyue, Huo Yutian, Lan Qi and Ke Ye.
The second item selected the "Advanced Defensive Scenario" training project, choosing Ruben Dias, Skriniar, Akanji, Dumfries, Ndidi, Yin Chengjie, De Jong, Kopmenas , Shen Wei, Cheng Zhenzhong, Xiang Rong, Qian Long, Chang Gang, Gu Jin, Xu Zongyue, Huo Yutian, Lan Qi and Ke Ye.
The last item was the "Advanced Goalkeeper" training project, which selected De Boer, Qin Yu, Ling Haiying, Zhou Xuan, Wei Hai, He He and Geng Guo.
In fact, Xue Yang is not willing to train goalkeepers because the number of goalkeepers is small after all.
Players in other positions cannot be trained in this training program, so Xue Yang rarely trains goalkeepers.
In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage on November 2, The Hague faced French Ligue 1 powerhouse Monaco at home.
In the past, I could get 1 point when playing away games, let alone at home.
Now Xue Yang not only wants to qualify from the group, but also wants to win the first place in the group.
The Hague definitely has the strength. If they win this game, they will win the next game with Porto.
So even if Red Bull Leipzig loses at home, The Hague will still be ranked first in the group.
Today The Hague is in very good condition, and Xue Yang is also preparing for the game with all his strength.
In the end, The Hague won the game 3-1 and currently maintains an unbeaten record in the group stage.
The excellent performance in The Hague group stage also surprised the European football world.
If The Hague can really finish first in the group, it means that the opponents it will encounter in the knockout rounds may be weaker.
In the 11th round of the Eredivisie on November 5, The Hague hosted Feyenoord.
Feyenoord's performance was good in the first two seasons, but this season Feyenoord's performance is average.
Currently ranked 6th in the standings, but there is still hope of chasing points.
The Hague is fully prepared for this game. The Hague's winning streak was interrupted in the last round, which makes Xue Yang regretful.
Fans are very optimistic, after all, no team can end the season with a complete victory.
In the end, The Hague barely defeated Feyenoord 2-1. This victory was still very important.
At present, this season seems to be another competition between PSV and The Hague.
After this game ended, it was the international match day in November.
In the next four days, the Dutch team will play two consecutive games with the Italian team.
Deciding who will advance to the 2018 World Cup, both teams are traditional strong teams in football.
In fact, no matter which team is eliminated, it is a pity.
As a coach in the Netherlands, Xue Yang still hopes that the Dutch team can win.
On November 10, the Netherlands faced the Italian team at home, and Xue Yang came specially to watch the game.
The Italian team's lineup is indeed good, with famous players such as Immobile, Belotti, Verratti, Chiellini, and Bonucci.
But there is also goalkeeper Buffon, both famous football stars.
In comparison, several players in the Dutch team's starting lineup are quite young.
For example, De Jong, Danjuma and others, both of them performed very well today.
Especially since De Jong already has the style of a general, he can now gain a foothold in any team in football.
To be honest, letting him stay in The Hague is indeed a injustice to him.
The Dutch team defeated the Italian team 1-0 in the first game. Although they only won one goal, the fans were very satisfied.
Xue Yang looked at the Italian team's tactics and said it was a 3-5-2 formation but offensively constipated.
On the contrary, the Dutch team's 4-3-3 formation is more effective.
Ventura, the head coach of the Italian team, is indeed not that strong, and it is a bit reluctant to coach the Italian team.
Ventura was also questioned by fans after the game, questioning his coaching level.
The second game came three days later, when the Netherlands came to Italy's home court.
This game was really lively, with more than 70,000 spectators coming to the scene.
They hope that the Italian team can return to form, but there is no improvement from the last game.
In the end, Italy drew with the Netherlands 0-0, which also means that the Italian team will miss the 2018 World Cup.
This night is destined to cause countless Italians to lose sleep, as the Italian team will miss next year's World Cup.
After the game, some Italian fans said that the World Cup without Italy would be like pizza without cheese.
It can be seen that the Italian fans are disappointed, but it is the Dutch fans who are angry.
Although there will be no pizza in the World Cup, there will be countless children holding windmills.
As we all know, windmills are a very representative landscape in the Netherlands, and are even called the "Land of Windmills".
Dutch fans used this to mock Italian fans for missing the World Cup.
After the game, several Dutch players returned to The Hague happily.
They were so excited to successfully qualify for the World Cup that they were almost called the heroes of the Netherlands these days.
De Jong and Zhu Danma have been in the newspapers recently, and the Dutch media have reported on them.
The Dutch media described the two of them as the future of Dutch football.
Their excellent performance in the national team has also spread to other countries.
In the 12th round of the Eredivisie on November 19, The Hague faced Hercules at home.
Hercules ranks in the middle of the standings, which is an improvement from last season.
However, the season is not over after all, and their numbers may decline in the future.
After returning to The Hague, the two of them played very actively.
In particular, De Jong is too active. Whether it is offense or defense, you can always see him.
He also scored a rare hat trick, which had never happened before.
In the end, The Hague defeated Hercules 4-1. The Hague always won and the same was true for PSV.
This round PSV won again, and the point difference with The Hague is still 2 points.
Xue Yang didn't believe that they would always be so strong. The Hague's strength and lineup thickness were stronger than PSV, which gave Xue Yang confidence.
