Revolution Football

When Germany failed to publicly champion himself at the 2006 World Cup, the solution was immediately sought. That said, the DFB (German Football Federation) directly encourage local clubs to give more opportunities to young players. 

DFB done attitude is not without reason. Consider just the German squad at the 2006 World Cup, seven were among 23 names there are aged 28 years and over. In fact, Jens Lehmann, goalkeeper, 36-year-old at the time. 

For long-term projections, it is definitely not something beautiful to look at. Then, move the DFB pursue policies that have already been mentioned above. They do not want that then inhibited regeneration could lead to stagnant achievement. 

Failure in the 2006 World Cup is so huge blow for Germany. It's nothing, euphoria World Cup which was held in their own country was too big. Initially, the public is not too much hope on their own national team. However, the sight of an attractive game diperagarakan foster children Juergen Klinsmann, the public gradually came to believe that they could become champions. 

Damn, the story does not go as smooth as desired. However, because the story does not go smoothly that began to look for solutions. 

Three years after the 2006 World Cup, a group of young people to represent Germany in the European Cup event in the U-21. Among the 23 names representing Germany in the game, there are names like Manuel Neuer, Benedikt Howedes, Jerome Boateng, Sami Khedira, Mats Hummels, Marcel Schmelzer, until Mesut Oezil. 

We then know what the future of the seven young children. Getting the opportunity to develop in their own domestic competition, the young men can develop each character and the edges are the backbone of the club sticking out so that they stand for. 

German national team clearly profited from this nursery. After failing in the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, Die Mannschaft emerged as winners in the 2014 World Cup Seeing this, it may be said that the process takes time and also need a well-managed and adequately. 

Behind the German border, stands a country called the Netherlands. Rivalry between the two countries, especially on the gridiron, a story that continues to penetrate buzzing age. 

Ironically for the Netherlands, when Germany began to reap the rewards of what they once planted, the Netherlands, are being distress. Their flagship line of players currently average already entered the age of 30.

Robin van Persie, the captain, now aged 31 years, Arjen Robben continues squeezed his speed is now 30 years old, Nigel De Jong has 29 years, and last Wesley Sneijder is always plotted as a regulator behind the attackers are now aged 30 years old. 

When the Dutch had difficulty in the game against Kazakhstan in Euro 2016 Qualifying few days ago, Guus Hiddink enter Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as a substitute and hopes to break the deadlock. How old Huntelaar? 31 years old. 

The decision to enter Huntelaar is proving successful. The attackers belong to Schalke 04 scored the equalizing goal to make the score changed to 1-1. He looks more dangerous than Van Persie during the match seemed to have a problem with finishing it. Huntelaar was several times endanger the goal of Kazakhstan, though ultimately not add another goal. Dutch eventually won 3-1 in the game. 

For a moment, like the Netherlands has been through difficult times. 1-2 defeat of Czech Republic --juga in the European Cup Qualifying match 2016-- have enough to make a team that finished third in the 2014 World Cup was criticized. However, the 0-2 defeat of Iceland on Tuesday (10/14/2014) pm dawn, make inquiries and criticisms arise again. 

Is not an alarm when a coach needs a solution and the solution is on the attacker who began entering the twilight of his career? 

Of course, this is not a trivial problem. When later the European Cup began in 2016 was when the Dutch finally --It lolos--, Van Persie, Robben, De Jong, Sneijder and Huntelaar will be older than now. I wonder if Robben could still run fast to save the Netherlands fell from the cliff or not. 

Sneijder? Football columnist, Michael Cox, once said that the best season is the tattooed midfielder 2009/2010, when he strengthens team Inter Milan and defended it as the champion of the Champions League. Afterwards, Sneijder look slick in the 2010 World Cup, however, after that, the performance decreases Sneijder. 

Difficult to expect Sneijder to look like in 2010 at the European Cup in 2016 In the 2014 World Cup he already looked exhausted. If in Brazil Sneijder appear semengilap 2010, Louis van Gaal may not need to be difficult to build a scheme that relies on Robben to attack through the wings. Netherlands also have more options to attack through the middle, not merely through the edge. 

Then, how? Interestingly, the Netherlands is not a country that is hard to find a good seed. Each season, there is always a good young player to emerge in the Eredivisie. Not surprisingly, then clubs like Ajax Amsterdam willing to release players such as Luis Suarez, Christian Eriksen, January Vertonghen, to Siem De Jong and Daley Blind this season. After all, they still can make other stars. 

Ajax is not alone. It should be observed that the majority of the Dutch squad at the 2014 World Cup Feyenoord have thick roots. Stefan de Vrij, Bruno Martins Indi, Jordy Clasie, Terence Kongolo and Daryl Janmaat is when the retainer Feyenoord. Ron Vlaar, Dirk Kuyt and Robin van Persie also never felt so part of Feyenoord.

Eredivisie, in fact, is a great league for a young player to take the first step. Take for example Eriksen. Before choosing to join Ajax, he also had to get an offer from Barcelona. However, Eriksen aware that if you choose Ajax, his chance to play in the first team is bigger and therefore will be felt earlier hammered. 

It is similar, although not identical, to the Bundesliga which also provide many opportunities for young players. The problem is not as competitive as the Bundesliga Eredivisie. 

The argument can be seen from the way the Dutch teams when playing in Europe. They usually fail to speak a lot, whether it be in the Champions League or Europa League. Impact, Dutch is now in ninth position in the list of UEFA club coefficients. They are even below countries such as Portugal, France, Russia, and Ukraine that its representatives are usually more successful. 

Netherlands is not yet finished, because the fact is they still have young players semodel De Vrij, Martins Indi, Clasie, to Memphis Depay, until Davy Klasseen and Daley Blind. All it takes is just polish them to be the backbone-backbone new. Incidentally, of the six names were called, just Clasie and Klaassen are still playing in the Eredivisie. The rest, had to move to another league. Despite the Eredivisie is a good league for young players, the competitive level is merely giving them a chance early. To forge, it is for the moment it is better to try another league. 

"Qualifying is probably also a good league to start a career. By playing there, a player can gain experience., But, after that maybe you eyeing to move to a bigger league." 

"Maybe the people in the Netherlands are already aware of it, the Eredivisie is not the best league in the world. So, maybe it's not a problem for them. When there are good young players go, the clubs will search for other young players," said Ajax living legend, Jari Litmanen, when met with detikSport in Jakarta a year ago. 

As a nation, the Netherlands is described by David Winner in the book "Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football 'very creative, imaginative, and have a good imagination. This makes them often produce something as a solution of the limitation. Total Football is considered born out of the imagination and the soul of Dutch art. While the dam is born from creativity to outsmart them in the land which are mostly located below the sea line. 

Of course, it should, there is also a solution to the stagnant their game on the field lately. So that is not getting blue in the Netherlands.
