Euro 2008: Dutch defeat by Dutch

這個抬頭是我和老公的共同結論 荷蘭教練打敗荷蘭教練

昨晚我們大家度過了很難過且失望的一晚
這又再度證明小國(荷蘭) 果然敵不過大國(蘇聯)
今早 婆婆就忙著將所有的裝飾物收起


我一直再想著 中國人的風水問題
當荷蘭隊員 全隊隊員在手臂上戴的黑色殤帶
來弔念其一隊員(Khalid Boulahrouz)出生二日即過逝的女兒
來表達全隊隊員的哀傷

我一直覺得那個手臂上戴的黑色殤帶會帶來不詳的氣份和結果
這就有點像 大家在談 馬總統摔得那一跤 會帶來不詳的

當然這是我個人的觀點而已啦
我老公則說那個悲哀事件 的確無法 鼓舞全隊
但是自己本身球技不夠好 是無法否認的

我還是覺得公私要分明 不因該就個人隱私 來影響他人
我不是怪他啦 我還為他而掉淚

只是中國人不是常說 稀牲小我 完成大我嗎
可能因為我是一個較一板一眼的人
我還是覺得不應該戴那個黑色的殤帶

結論如同我公婆所說的
我們要面對此失敗
運動 有贏就有輸
我們這次輸了
兩年後再來

(Russia’s Dutch Coach:G.Hiddink)

國際足壇著名「魔法教頭」希丁克(Dutch :Guus Hiddink)，再度揮動「點石成金」魔法棒，居然率領俄羅斯在歐洲國家杯今天延長賽3：1撕裂強敵「鬱金香」荷蘭隊挺進4強，爆出令人意外結果。
這位現年61歲老教頭，功力令世人折服，2002年把南韓推進世足賽4強，兩年前把澳洲送進16強，如今他又讓蘇聯解體後從未在小組賽出線的俄羅斯，殺入4強，讓人不得不佩服他的魔法。
特別他今天帶領俄羅斯對抗自己的祖國荷蘭，證明確實有過人本事，其實，1998年世足賽希丁克也率領過荷蘭踢進4強，豐富帶兵閱歷，讓他一直有奇蹟式演出。
眾星雲集荷蘭隊在「死亡之組」C組以三戰全勝分組第一出線，且令人震撼均以3球之差大勝歐洲最強大義大利與法國，讓他們今年奪冠情勢一片看好，但沒想到居然是被世界排名20名之外的俄羅斯給淘汰，帶著悔恨出局。

巴斯滕感受中年之惑
　　兩年前的世界杯，荷蘭隊表現低迷。41歲的巴斯滕步入中年，遇到了執教之路的迷茫。兩年後，荷蘭隊小組賽表現驚艷，巴斯滕是以勝利者的姿態出現在今天巴塞爾的球場上。開場後，他盡量表現出鎮靜，坐在場邊指揮比賽。然而，比賽進行到第26分鐘時，巴斯滕已經坐不住了，俄羅斯隊的一記傳中險些造成失分。巴斯滕很快就看出了本隊右路防守的羸弱，右後衛布拉魯茲明顯受到女兒早產夭折的打擊，有點力不從心，總是被對手從這一側突破。第52分鐘，他用3號海廷加換下了布拉魯茲，但適得其反的是兩分鐘後俄羅斯接連兩次從右路獲得機會。一次射門擦著門柱飛出底線，一次打進了，巴斯滕的這次換人很難說是成功。失球後，巴斯滕陷入了沉思之中，他不自覺地緊張地咬起了指甲。稍後，
　　他決定加強進攻，換下了偏重防守的恩格拉爾，換上小將20號阿弗萊加強進攻。這一次換人，間接地起到了作用，範尼獲得了扳平比分的機會。然而，加時賽中荷蘭隊的猛攻留下了後防大片的空當，讓俄羅斯人屢屢殺入。而巴斯滕已用完了手中的換人名額，眼看範德法特已經體力透支，但無計可施。就這樣俄羅斯人輕鬆突破了體能下降的荷蘭後衛，連進2球，鎖定了勝局。
　　當阿爾沙文打進第三個球後，巴斯滕已經知道敗局無法扭轉了，他坐在教練席上深深地喝了一口礦泉水。誰知道此時他的內心是如何的百內俱焚呢？巴斯滕禮貌地到了綠茵場上，與希丁克擁抱了一下，表示祝賀。希丁克還是像對待孩子一樣，輕輕拍了即將離去的巴斯滕的腦袋，示意他一場輸贏沒什麼，他要走的教練之路還很長。

希丁克盡享老者快樂
　　本場比賽，希丁克特意選擇一件白色的衣服，區別開了俄羅斯隊紅色的隊服。在120分鐘的比賽指揮中，希丁克無論在賽前戰術布置，還是臨場指揮，確實都要略勝巴斯滕一籌。一開場，希丁克就授意俄羅斯隊加強第二落點的遠射以及肋部的突破，打好防反。當俄羅斯隊打進第一個球後，希丁克激動地揮臂，這是進球後他的標誌性動作。但好景不長，82分鐘範尼進球後，希丁克為比賽最後時刻失球氣地滿臉通紅。此前，希丁克做出了一個重要的換人，7號托賓斯替換上場。正是這名體重只有60公斤、俄羅斯隊中最年輕的球員，在加時賽中為俄羅斯隊打進了奠定勝局的一球。此時，希丁克仍是獨自一人慶祝進球，而他身邊的俄羅斯人已經快樂地滾成了一團，他們知道勝利即將到來。當阿爾沙文打進第三個進球後，希丁克再也控制不住激動的情緒，他與身穿紅色俄羅斯隊服的助理教練擁抱在一起又蹦又跳。120分鐘大戰後，當俄羅斯球員狂歡勝利時，希丁克眼中紅潤了，沒有人知道希丁克在此時想到了什麼。但他的眼神中讓人感到一個老者心中藏滿無法訴說的故事。

Euro 2008: Sad farewell for Dutch stalwarts(巴斯滕和范德萨悲伤告别国家队)
Marco van Basten’s last international appearance for the Netherlands was just three years before Edwin van der Sar made his debut in 1995 – on Saturday night the coach and his goalkeeper bowed out together with the 3-1 quarter-final defeat by Russia.
Record mark
Van Basten had announced before the tournament that he would join AFC Ajax after four years in charge of his country. Van der Sar equally decided that, aged 37, it was time for him to leave international football, his Dutch-record 128th cap being his last as he equalled Lilian Thuram’s mark of 16 UEFA European Championship outings. He made a number of vital saves at St. Jakob-Park but was powerless to keep Russia at bay as Dmitri Torbinski and Andrei Arshavin scored in the last eight minutes of extra time.
Regret
”We created too few chances ourselves and gave too much away,” Van der Sar said. ”[Russia] played very well, and we did not play as well as in the group stage. And that hurts.” He also admitted he would miss this stage. ”It is the end of my international career – the tournaments I will miss most, they are the nicest to experience. I have reached quarter-finals, semi-finals, but that is not enough. You always want more than that. But every two years there is only one team that wins the tournament, and in my playing days that has not been for me to experience.”
Hope gone
The disappointing conclusion to Van der Sar’s Oranje career also deepened Van Basten’s regret at their loss in Basel. ”I feel very sorry for Edwin van der Sar, as I had hoped to give him a nice finale in his career with the Netherlands,” the 43-year-old said. ”We didn’t succeed in that and I feel sorry for Edwin as he deserves to win a tournament like this. We tried, we didn’t succeed and I feel sorry for him.”
First role
This job was Van Basten’s first as a head coach. In his debut campaign he led the Netherlands to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, past a group containing Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro and Ivory Coast, and into the last 16 where they were knocked out by Portugal. This time around Van Basten’s team stormed through the group stage by defeating Italy 3-0, France 4-1 and Romania 2-0, only to be outdone by compatriot Hiddink and his Russia side.
Outdone
Reflecting on his time at the helm, Van Basten mused: ”I think in the first two years we played well in qualification. And in the [World Cup] we were in the ’group of death’ and we got to the last 16 and had an unfortunate game against Portugal. In the last two years we had problems in qualification but we started well in this tournament. But today we have to say Russia were simply better than we were.”
