After Bosvelt's penalty kick was saved by Toldo, and the Netherlands lost to Italy [-]-[-] in the penalty shootout, the Italian players were naturally ecstatic, unable to restrain their excitement, they agreed He rushed to the team's biggest hero in this semi-final, and also Italy's main goalkeeper in this European Cup, Francisco Toldo from Florence!

It is true that Nesta and Cannavaro contributed a lot to Italy's victory over the extremely powerful Netherlands tonight, but no one can deny that Toldo played a decisive role in this victory!If it weren't for his amazing performance of blocking the opponent's six penalty kicks back and forth, I am afraid that it would be impossible for Italy to achieve the feat of knocking out the Netherlands!

Therefore, after the penalty shootout, the Italian players immediately expressed their gratitude to the number one hero Toldo with practical actions!

"Damn it! Christian, what are you trying to do...don't do this, put me down!" Caught off guard, Toldo was lifted up by the strong Vieri and others, vaguely aware of the danger. Wonderful, his face that was originally full of joy suddenly changed color, and he shouted in panic, "Hey! If one of you fails to catch me and hurts me, who will come to you in the European Cup final in two days? Gatekeeper!"

Toldo's words didn't have the desired effect, and Vieri and others, who were in high spirits, obviously couldn't listen to other objections.So, amidst Toldo's exclamation, the Italian players headed by Vieri threw Toldo high into the air, which caused a burst of cheers from the fans!

Looking at the hosts who had the upper hand in terms of shooting, ball possession rate and other statistics, but eventually lost, Kluivert’s face was not reconciled, but they did not draw with Italy after the game. What kind of conflict happened to the players, and they didn't do stupid things like deliberately pouring cold water on the opponent by taking advantage of the home field advantage.After going around the field and waving to the Dutch fans who have been supporting them all the time, the Dutch players who had nothing to do and were unwilling to stay on the field and watch their opponents celebrate went back to the locker room first.

After hugging Vieri, Nesta and other club teammates one by one, Stam sighed, turned and walked into the player channel.In both the World Cup two years ago and this year's European Cup, he stopped in the semi-finals. The Dutch iron guard is still somewhat uncomfortable.You must know that these two years have been the peak period of Ajax's golden generation. If you can't win any honors at the national team level at this time, then you can imagine the days to come.

For Stam, who has already won the honor at the club level, it is his last wish to win a heavyweight championship trophy on behalf of the national team.

Compared with the fierce confrontation between the two teams in the game, the press conference after the game can be said to be a group of harmony.Naturally, the Dutch media will not sprinkle salt on the wounds of their national team at this time, and they will not be so unreasonable as to ask the old Maldini whether the iron bucket formation in the game is a manifestation of anti-football—— Italy has played defensive counterattacks for decades. You can't force the opponent to give up what you are best at, and you have to play against you in the game, right?What gangster logic is this!

And the Italian media who didn't hit Rijkaard with the same problem also have their considerations. After all, this is the home court of the Dutch, and the final final will also be held in the Netherlands. Sometimes the other party is secretly stumbling Italy, which is not what the Italians want to see.

Therefore, with the tacit cooperation of the media from both sides, the press conference came to an end in a harmonious atmosphere.

After the contest between the Netherlands and Italy was decided, the result of the semi-final and everything that happened in the game quickly spread throughout the European football world under the spread of the media and fans.While applauding the wonderful conflict between the two teams, people were also secretly shocked by the weird penalty kick of the Netherlands.

Therefore, after this semi-final, many experts and the media began to analyze why the Netherlands repeatedly fell to penalties.

Some people believe that the reason why the Netherlands has repeatedly lost penalty kicks is mainly because the psychological quality of these players is not good enough, and they cannot bear the huge mental pressure brought about by taking penalty kicks. Although the first batch of players are technically top-notch, their poor psychological quality will be the biggest obstacle preventing them from marching towards the championship!

There are also many people who believe that the reason why the Netherlands was eliminated by Italy is entirely because of Toldo's superb performance.After all, Toldo saved a total of six penalty kicks in this game (although two of them were not saved by Toldo in the strict sense, they were also included in the statistics), and then Coupled with those wonderful saves in front of the goal, in the eyes of these people, the Netherlands has actually played quite well, and they were eliminated only because they were too unlucky to run into a very good Toldo .

Of course, there are still many people who simply watch the fun and are not afraid of big things.When these people were interviewed, most of them would use a teasing tone to comment on the performance of the Dutch team in penalty kicks, claiming that all clubs with Dutch players in their teams should pay attention in the future, and they must not be allowed to take penalty kicks!

Some fans even joked that when many teams meet Barcelona on the court in the future, it is estimated that there will be an interesting phenomenon that they would rather give the Catalan army a penalty kick than prevent the opponent from scoring directly. , because the current Barcelona is formed with the "Dutch Gang" as the main body!

Just when people disagreed about the reasons for the Oranje's penalty nightmare, an official news from the Dutch Football Association forced them to temporarily suspend this discussion-after friendly negotiations between the two parties, Ridge Calder will resign as the head coach of the Dutch national team to find another job!

"Frank (Rijkaard) is a great player, and he is also a very good coach. We thank him for his great contribution to Dutch football in the past two years." At the press conference, the Netherlands The chairman of the Football Association said quite emotionally, "Although we very much hope that Frank can lead the national team to continue to create new glories, it is regrettable that Frank himself insists that he should be responsible for the team's loss in the semi-finals of the European Cup. So we had no choice but to agree to his request to terminate the contract."

In this way, Rijkaard became the first head coach among the 16 participating teams in this European Cup to announce his dismissal!
