Chapter 441 Lost in the first match of the Champions League
In the 21st round of the Eredivisie on February 4, The Hague challenged Hercules away.
Hercules is currently in the middle of the standings, and The Hague has recently been preparing for the Champions League.
In the end, The Hague was tied by Hercules, while PSV still won.
The point difference was narrowed again, which reminded Xue Yang of last season.
The same was true last season, but Xue Yang firmly believed that they could survive until the end.
The recent schedule has not been very friendly to The Hague. Not only has the Eredivisie league begun to become more intensive, but the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 will also begin soon.
Although the opponent is the powerful Bayern Munich, Xue Yang has no intention of giving up.
The same is true for the players in the team. In fact, qualifying has already completed the task.
If that's the case, why not give it a try.
In the 22nd round of the Eredivisie on February 9, The Hague faced Vidis at home. In the end, The Hague easily won the opponent.
Then two days later, in the 23rd round, The Hague challenged Groningen away.
Xue Yang must rotate in this game, because the next game is the first leg against Bayern Munich.
Despite the rotation, The Hague finally defeated its opponent.
PSV won again in this round, but the fatigue was clearly visible.
Sparta Rotterdam, who were in last place, ended up winning a thrilling 2-1.
This made Xue Yang know that it was not just his own difficulties.
On February 18th, in the 24th round of the Eredivisie, The Hague faced Willem II at home.
Recently, because the first round of the Champions League is about to begin, the team is full of fighting spirit.
This game was very fierce, beating Willem II directly 5-0.
And the good news finally came, PSV was finally level.
The point difference between the two sides has returned to 3 points, which is great news.
Xue Yang had a hunch that PSV might join the team in the future.
Finally the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 came. Although Xue Yang was disappointed when the lot was drawn, he was still full of fighting spirit.
It's just the recent intensive schedule that makes Xue Yang very worried.
But not only that, the Dutch national team will play a friendly match with England on March 23.
In preparation for the World Cup in a few months, now is a critical moment.
Even if Xue Yang was dissatisfied, he could never speak out.
Because several Dutch players in The Hague team attach great importance to this friendly match.
It is not easy for the Netherlands to reach the World Cup. They cherish their opportunity very much.
If Xue Yang expresses dissatisfaction, his image in the minds of the players will be damaged.
Fortunately, The Hague has good communication with the Dutch national team, and they will not go to report until this game is over.
Moreover, in this friendly match, they could only play half a game at most.
The Dutch head coach also expressed his understanding. After all, this is just a friendly match.
Winning and losing are important, but running the team together is even more important.
Through this friendly match, you can learn about the team's problems in advance.
Try to make corrections before the World Cup. After all, the opponent England is also a strong team. The training value of this game is very high.
The first leg of the Champions League is Bayern Munich's home court, and Xue Yang plans to use defensive tactics for this game.
Try to get a point at Bayern Munich's home court. Even if you don't get a point, try to concede as few goals as possible, and try to score an away goal at the same time.
So there is still hope for The Hague, but things backfire.
In the end, Bayern Munich won The Hague 2-0, and Xue Yang failed to achieve any of his previous goals.
No points were scored and no away goals were scored.
Returning to the home court of The Hague, it was a bit of a disadvantage.
Soon the first legs of the Champions League ended one after another, and overall it was within everyone's predictions.
Those who deserved to win eventually won, including Bayern Munich.
Although more and more people now recognize the strength of The Hague, their opponent is Bayern Munich after all.
It can be said that there are very few people who believe that The Hague can eliminate Bayern Munich.
Among them, what Chinese fans are most concerned about are games involving Chinese players.
Chelsea faced Barcelona at home, but ultimately failed to win the game at their home court.
In the end, what Chinese fans are paying attention to is the game between Tottenham and Juventus.
Juventus faces Tottenham at home, and in terms of overall strength, Juventus has the advantage.
However, the game was extremely thrilling. Although it was an away game, Tottenham still played very aggressively.
What excited the Chinese fans the most was that Jiang Bin and Shi Li happened to score one each.
In the end, the two sides drew 2-2, which was a very exciting game.
After this game, several players left The Hague and quickly went to participate in the national team competition.
Xue Yang was also helpless as to why the national team match was scheduled on this day.
As a result, the Dutch team lost to the English team 0-1. After several Dutch players returned to the team, their disappointment could be clearly felt.
Although the England team is strong, it is not the top team in world football.
In the 25th round of the Eredivisie on February 25, The Hague challenged Ajax away from home.
In this game, Xue Yang made several rotations and gave several players who participated in the national team a rest.
The same dilemma that The Hague encountered, Ajax also encountered.
Several members of their team also went to play for the national team, and The Hague finally defeated Ajax 2-0.
In this game, Xu Qiang stood up again and scored the only goal in the game.
