Holland - Latvia. A match that can cost a career for a wild lawyer

The heading of the national team of the Netherlands of the Netherlands for the match with Latvia is not even the exit of his team to the quarterfinals of Euro 2004, but the coaching career of Dicka Lawyer. Both teams in this meeting need an exclusively victory to continue the fight in the tournament.

At the same time, both teams have to hope that the three -time champion of the continent - Germany - will not win the Czech Republic, which will give the leading players to relax before the playoff matches. So far, the Czechs are the only team that scored the maximum number of points at the championship.

The lawyer team shows a very impressive football. In particular, in a meeting with Germany, Holland was able to take a point, losing 0: 1 along the course of 0: 1. However, in a meeting with the Czech Republic, the Dutch led 2: 1, but after the replacement of Aryen Robben lost the match 2: 3.

The Dutch coach, whose national contract with the national team is designed to the 2006 World Cup, can fly from his place after the current euro if the Latvians present another surprise. “In fact, I do not consider myself guilty of the failure of the game with the Czechs. The football players themselves brought goals to our gates because of their individual mistakes,” the Uska said, justifying his decision to replace the attacking Robben player with a defensive plan of Paul Boswell.

Meanwhile, the midfielder of the national team Edgar Davids calls not to take the defeat from the Czechs. “I think that as in the match with the Czechs we will no longer lose. Now we need to concentrate on Latvia, which played perfectly against the Czech Republic and even better against Germany,” Davids noted. The lawyer plans to play with the Latvians as well as with the Czechs, replacing the disqualified Johnny Haying with Michael Raizieger.

Latvia has as many glasses in the asset as Holland. At the same time, the Latvians were in a meeting with the Czechs, but lost 1: 2. So far, the Latvians demonstrate the greatest progress compared to other teams. Progressing Latvia with every match has a chance to go to the quarter -finals and all the players believe in this.

“Our first dream was to enter the final part of the euro. The second goal came by itself. Why not, not to embody the dream into reality,” Maris Verpakovskis asks himself. Meanwhile, the coach of Latvian Alexander Starkov was either jokingly, or seriously said that at this championship his team lost and tied. “I think that we are missing only victory,” said Starkov.
