Chapter 2273 - 580: You Coach Like Ten Hag

Chapter 2273: Chapter 580: You Coach Like Ten Hag

When you’re on the field thinking about a draw or loss, naturally you can’t win.

Dutch players understand well the principle of fighting for victory.

"Very good, Robin is right, you’re the hot favorites for the European Cup, so drawing with Denmark isn’t something to be happy about."

Huang Kaiwen tapped the tactics board and said, "In front of the fans, I won’t let you lose face, but are you satisfied with today’s match? Do you think you played well? Mr. Van Marwijk went to the hospital, and for now, I’m acting as the head coach. Since I’m the head coach, I should talk to you about today’s game."

"The passing up front is always delayed until players can’t move anymore, at that point, why pass at all? Might as well deal with the opponent yourself."

"Also, when Mark was fouled, I only saw a few people going to argue, are you not from the same country, or what?"

Huang Kaiwen threw the pen on the ground and said fiercely, "How about you guys just fight it out now, don’t bring emotions into the game. If you can’t cooperate while playing, might as well quit the national team. I believe the Netherlands can still put together a roster."

The players in the locker room displayed different expressions.

Most players hung their heads low.

After all, they also knew they didn’t play well today.

Especially van Persie and those who had been teammates with Huang Kaiwen, they almost didn’t dare to make a sound.

Because they rarely saw Huang Kaiwen like this.

"If no one wants to fight, then I have other things to say."

Huang Kaiwen said, "I don’t have too many demands, just hope you can consider national honor and personal development, within less than a month in the European Cup, put aside personal grudges and cooperate well, can you do that?"

"Yes!!!"

The Three Stooges almost shouted simultaneously.

Van Bommel and van Persie weren’t far behind.

With a few people leading, the atmosphere in the locker room became more positive.

Huang Kaiwen clapped his hands and said, "I have been teammates with some of you, but I don’t understand everyone. From now on, I’ll only look at your performance during training, not your fame. To start in the next match, show some performance in training."

Huang Kaiwen’s words made Kuyt’s eyes light up.

Previously, his conflict with Van Marwijk was mainly because he couldn’t start.

If effort can lead to a starting position, he’s willing to try.

Huang Kaiwen, who had been observing the players, also smiled.

These words are actually just talk.

But in his eyes, Kuyt is still very important.

This bastard used to upset Yellow Ball King a lot, Benitez always had him closely mark Yellow Ball King.

When Kuyt defended one-on-one, he was like sticky candy, and since we’re facing Portugal, he should apply intensity to Ronaldo too.

The stick is finished.

Huang Kaiwen continued, "I’ll talk to Mr. Ostiven, whether we advance, reach the finals, or win the championship, we’ll increase the bonuses. And by the way, Milan now has some recruitment plans for the wings, midfield, and defense. Even if you don’t think about playing for Milan, good performances in the European Cup can still attract attention from other big clubs."

Seeing the locker room atmosphere heat up.

Huang Kaiwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the players changed clothes, he joined them on the bus.

Sitting in front, Huang Kaiwen vaguely heard some players asking Van Bommel about things in Milan City.

A smile appeared on Huang Kaiwen’s face.

Not afraid if you have ideas.

Only afraid if you have no ambition.

It seems Milan is still quite attractive.

That would greatly increase the weight of his position as a parachuted head coach.

Using money and the opportunity to play for Milan to entice them, and on the other hand, relying on Yellow Ball King’s personal prestige and connections, that should help establish a foothold in the Dutch locker room.

"How is Berth doing?"

Huang Kaiwen asked.

Cocu replied, "The news from the hospital is that the check-up showed no issues, but he keeps saying he feels uncomfortable, probably can’t come back to lead the team."

"Old fox."

Huang Kaiwen cursed softly, laughing.

When he reached out to Yellow Ball King, he was likely pretending to be sick.

The Netherlands had already made it to the finals, and it was difficult to surpass previous achievements unless they won the European Cup this time.

But just based on the Euro qualifiers and other aspects, it was clear that’s impossible.

So the old guy probably thought of this method to gracefully step down from the Netherlands national team’s coaching position.

Considering today’s match situation and internal conflicts.

Just directly quitting.

However, Huang Kaiwen didn’t really mind.

Having gained so many coaching skills, he also wanted to try leading the team himself.

As for helping the Dutch take the blame, that’s never going to happen.

Yellow Ball King has been giving so much money to the media for so long, just to be used at critical times. If the Netherlands team’s performance isn’t good, who’s going to take the blame, that’s not certain.

Before Huang Kaiwen returned to the hotel, he received a call from Van Ostiven.

He asked the bus driver to stop early and called a taxi to go to a tavern near Fountain Square.

Upon entering the door, Huang Kaiwen saw Cruyff and Van Ostiven.

"Good evening, Mr. Cruyff, Mr. Ostiven."

Huang Kaiwen sat down and said.

"No need to be so formal, just call me John."

Cruyff said with a smile, "I don’t like Real Madrid, that has nothing to do with you."

Huang Kaiwen nodded.

Van Ostiven spoke, "You should know Berth’s situation, we hope you can take over and lead the Dutch team for the rest of this European Cup."

"In principle, I agree, but I have quite a few requests, Mr. Gagliani will call to negotiate with you."
