Chapter 2271: Chapter 580: You Coach Like Ten Hag

"What if we lose?"

Cocu asked with some concern.

"If we lose, we lose. What else can I do?"

Huang Kaiwen looked at the defensive line and said, "If you were still here, the Netherlands’ defense wouldn’t be this bad."

Cocu smiled awkwardly.

The Dutch defense performed poorly today.

The goal conceded in the first half wasn’t even a solid opportunity, but even with a complete defensive line, Van der Wiel and Heitinga let them reach the box and get to the end line.

That goal had little to do with Stekelemburg.

A better goalkeeper might have saved it, but it would have been a highlight-reel save; that shot was of good quality.

Ultimately, it’s the Dutch defenders who failed in marking and tracking back, providing no pressure, allowing them to adjust to such a comfortable position for the shot.

The match scene came back a bit.

But Huang Kaiwen was still thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, he noticed the movements of Denmark’s fullback Lars Jakobsen.

Huang Kaiwen was too familiar with the actions of this veteran.

This season, when Nesta started, he’d occasionally end up in this situation, movements distorted by injury!

"Aryang, no need to cross, cut inside, take the ball inside, damn it, pass the ball to the left!!!" Huang Kaiwen shouted from the sidelines.

The camera simply focused on Huang Kaiwen.

The dull scene was not as captivating as Huang Kaiwen.

Hennie de P and Cruyff sat together.

Next to them was the Dutch Football Association chairman, Van Ostiven.

Cruyff was somewhat surprised and asked, "You mean with two Dutch legends around, you want Kevin to be the interim coach?"

"It’s temporary, Berth might return."

Van Ostiven said with a dry laugh.

He also wanted Cocu or De Boer to take over directly, given that most national teams prefer their own people. The Brits were mocked quite a bit when they hired Eriksson.

But De Boer or Cocu’s stature isn’t enough; when it comes to taking the blame, they can’t bear it.

Only someone like Huang Kaiwen could attract enough attention, sparing them from becoming the main target.

"Isn’t this nonsense, Kevin is a player, not a coach."

Cruyff said.

Van Ostiven explained, "Mark and Berth have mentioned that at AC Milan, Kevin was involved in a lot of coaching tasks. When Guardiola was injured, he was practically the first-team coach, so this is sort of temporarily finding a sextuple-winning coach. It’s already the best option."

Cruyff said nothing.

Damn!

This bastard thinks he’s a fool.

Huang Kaiwen is definitely good at coaching, but that’s because he can put himself on the roster, and if the team doesn’t play well, the coach can just warm up.

Playing in the European Cup, Huang Kaiwen doesn’t have a chance to be on the field.

But Cruyff nevertheless had raised expectations.

After all, with the state the Dutch national team is in, even qualifying is clearly challenging.

Particularly when playing against the German team, he certainly didn’t want to be mocked by his lifelong rival, Beckenbauer.

Perhaps with Huang Kaiwen, the Netherlands team might actually change.

The Netherlands team began to frequently pass the ball to the left wing.

Robben could unleash his full potential on the right wing, but he is world-class on the left as well.

Back at Chelsea, he often played on the left side.

Even if his effectiveness is somewhat reduced, Robben is still one of the best wing players in the world.

His quick little steps could each time take the ball past Jakobsen, even if the Danish veteran wasn’t injured, he definitely couldn’t match Robben.

The world’s fullbacks who could pressure peak Robben one-on-one were of the level of Maldini, Lahm, and Ashley Cole.

In these circumstances, Agger had to cover for Jakobsen.

Neither of them found it easy against Robben.

On the sideline, the fourth official already raised the substitution board.

The Danish fans in the stands were ready to celebrate a victory.

"Warming up now is Okore, also a defender. Denmark plans to use more defensive players to maintain this one-goal lead."

"Yes, they’re the weakest in the group, so a win now is very important."

On the left side, Robben got the ball again.

Agger went over directly to cover.

Cocu stood nervously beside Huang Kaiwen, staring hard at the field.

Even if he’s retired, he couldn’t accept the Netherlands losing to a Danish team worth as much as van Persie plus Sneijder and Robben together.

"Pass it, pass it!"

Robben forced an inside cut on the left lane with his quick little steps.

It was obvious he was uncomfortable dribbling with his right foot.

If it were on the right side, he’d have passed him instantly.

Agger came up to defend, and Robben suddenly halted sharply, turned, and passed.

Huntelaar and Romedar practically lunged for the ball simultaneously.

This time Robben’s horizontal pass was very clear, Romedar was already one step ahead.

But Huntelaar charged in, and as Romedar got the ball, he lost control of it.

Van Bommel stepped in, made a hook attempt, but before he could secure the ball, he was kicked in the ankle by Romedar and fell to the ground.

Only a few players came up to argue.

Huang Kaiwen’s face turned dark.

Damn, still infighting at this moment.

Luckily, Van Bommel was fine and got up directly.

A few players gathered around the foul spot.

Huang Kaiwen thought for a moment and shouted, "Let Wesley take it, this free-kick for Wesley!"
