00:00The Euro 2024 tournament is now entering its final phases.
00:04There are only four teams left who will compete for two tickets to the final.
00:09In order to get to the city of Berlin, where the final match will take place,
00:12four giant teams, namely Spain, France, England, and the Netherlands,
00:16will fight each other in the semi-finals. So, which team deserves to advance to the final?
00:23At the Signal Iduna Park Stadium, there will be a match between the Netherlands and England.
00:28The Netherlands, which is an aggressive and productive team,
00:31will face England, which is considered a boring team.
00:36The Dutch team, which has scored nine goals,
00:38will meet England, which has only scored five goals.
00:42Game-wise, the Netherlands has an attacking game,
00:45while England's game always relies on counterattacks.
00:48The England team qualify for the semi-finals by luck rather than coming up with an outstanding
00:53performance. Different from the Dutch team, which reached the semi-finals with an increasing
00:58report card since the group stage. When discussing head-to-head matters,
01:03the Netherlands is ahead of England. Of the 22 matches, the Netherlands won seven times,
01:08while England only won six times. In the last meeting,
01:11England lost to the Netherlands in the 2019 UEFA Nations League semi-finals.
01:17With this record, the Netherlands has a history of being able to beat England.
01:22However, for the Three Lions, this record is only considered a thing of the past.
01:27In the semi-final match, England must try to show their best performance if they want to win.
01:32Gareth Southgate must think about whether to maintain a three-man-back formation or return
01:36to a four-man-back formation. The absence of players from both
01:40teams also makes it easier for the two coaches to choose the composition of their best players.
01:46Ronald Koeman will likely continue to rely on his mainstay players,
01:49with Cody Gakpo still playing a role in the Dutch attack line.
01:53The Liverpool player has the ambition to chase the top scorer title at Euro 2024.
01:59In the England team, Jude Bellingham is still a mainstay player for Gareth Southgate.
02:04Meanwhile, the return of tough defender Mark Gahy from card accumulation will
02:08also strengthen England's backline. The player from Crystal Palace is one of
02:13the most important players in the backline, with the most ball recoveries at 37 compared
02:18to other English players. He also recorded the highest average
02:22number of successful tackles per match. Apart from that, the England team is also
02:27certain to appear at their best against the Netherlands, including Harry Kane, Jude
02:31Bellingham, Kyle Walker, and Declan Rice. The match between the Netherlands and
02:36England is predicted to be fierce. The Netherlands will likely appear more attacking.
02:42While England will play passively and pragmatically by relying on
02:45counterattacks or perhaps set-pieces. In conclusion, the Netherlands and England
02:50have the same chance of winning, they have strengths and weaknesses that can be exploited.
02:55But what is certain is that everyone hopes that the semi-final
02:58match will present a game that is exciting, entertaining, and not boring.
