Clockwork Orange chain broken in Bosnia in a completely pointless meeting. Nothing was at stake for either team and ended up having an impact on the game. Decaf partywith little rhythm and lack of verticality. In fact, Koeman allowed players like De Jong to return to their clubs to avoid injuries and extra miles.
Lots of possession for the Netherlands in the first few minutes. Of those Orange you hard to find spaces with a neat and feisty back. Set up in a 4-4-2, Bonsia did not pressurize the rival centre-backs, letting them play horizontally. The Dutch trivote did not appear and they had to play long on the wing. Burnicwhich is in charge of marking the man Kluivertstopped the visiting winger’s attacks. In its part, when he recovered the ball, the team led Sergej Barbarez played directly to Dzekowho struggled to be strong.
However, the first that the Netherlands has is internal. After the lateral center from Noa Lang, Brobbey was strong against a fragile mark from Muharemović and did the 1-0 head Bosnia arrived in the rival area after conceding the goal, but Demirovic, who fell asleep in the area, showed why they were relegated. As the minutes ticked by, the Netherlands came slowly and incoherently, so the match went into half-time with a solitary goal from Brobbey.
Barbarez addressed his team, which came out of the locker room more energized. Dzeko had a clear chance at the start, but he was really slow in racing and execution. The local team is pushing forward with its pressing lines in the face of the Netherlands’ difficulty playing the ball. With a real game on the left wing, passing a heel from Real Zaragoza football player Samed Bazdar, The ball reaches Dzeko, who shoots powerfully. The ball, cleared by Flekken, ended up being finished by Demirovicwhich preceded the visiting defense and He made it 1-1 with Vaseline head.
Lots of distractions and little play after the goal. Bosnia, happy with the draw, didn’t back down too much, keeping the danger on the counter and trying to prevent the match from becoming an abuse by the Netherlands. In its part, Koeman’s men have shown themselves to be incompetent of creating danger in Martin Zlomislic’s goal. In the final minutes they were closer to the goal, but nevertheless, the local defense did not suffer too much. The Netherlands closes 2024 with a draw against the lowest team in a meaningless match where they missed their A team.
