Deep dives
Netherlands vs. England Semi-final Preparations
England and the Netherlands teams have had to grapple with positioning their key players effectively. Ronald Koeman has made bolder decisions to optimize his team, while Gareth Southgate has been more reluctant to deviate from certain combinations that have not proven effective so far in the tournament. Koeman's adaptability has allowed the Dutch team to find balance and make impactful mid-game changes, such as introducing Weghorst to shift to a 4-4-2 formation. Southgate's reliance on the Kane-Bellingham-Foden axis hasn't yielded the desired results, creating a challenge for England.
