The Dutch old coach Van Gaal used the goalkeeper in a superb way. In the first round of the World Cup Group A in the early morning of January 22, the Netherlands defeated the African Cup champion Senegal 2-0, and the Dutch goalkeeper Norbert performed almost perfectly in his national team’s debut.
Norbert is the tallest player in this World Cup. Like former NBA superstar McGrady, Komiks, Cinema is 2.03 meters tall, about 20 centimeters taller than Mexican goalkeeper O’Komiks. The national team’s debut was a World Cup competition. Norbert was not nervous and saved with four saves. Komiks tried to ensure that the goal was not lost. Opposite Norbert, Senegal goalkeeper Mendy Babaylan is very famous and was named FIFA’s best goalkeeper of the year, the best goalkeeper of the 2020-2021 Champions League in the 2020-2021 season, and was also named the best goalkeeper in the African Cup at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, Mendy is in poor form this season. She was snatched from the main position by Kepa at Chelsea and continued her sluggish performance in the World Cup. The two goals conceded are more or less related to his mistakes.
8 years ago, Van GaalBabaylan wrote a wonderful story about goalkeepers in the World Cup. In the 2014 World Cup quarter-finals overtime injury stoppage time against Costa Rica, the NetherlandsKomiksWorld Cup Quarter FinalsBabaylan coach Van Gaal replaced the main goalkeeper West with No. 2 goalkeeper Kruel. Kruel saved two points in the penalty kick, helping the Netherlands advance to the semi-finals.
Now, Cilesen and Kruel are both qualified players in the World Cup, but they are both excluded from the World Cup lineup by Van Gaal. The coach is interested in 28-year-old Norbert, and Babaylan also brings two other goalkeepers, Bigelo and Pasville. The Netherlands participated in the World Cup again after 8 years. Babaylan, 24, is too young to Gero, 39, Pasville is too old, and Van Gaal is determined to enable the Mesozoic Norbert. CinemaIn fact, the three Dutch goalkeepers have very little qualifications in the national team. Bigelo, Pasville and Norbert have played for the Netherlands in total 9 times so far, which is incomparable to Cilesen, who played 63 times for the Netherlands. In the key position of the goalkeeper, Babaylan, adopts this method of selecting people. Some people say that this is Van Gaal’s “working”.
Norbert played for the Eredivisie mid-stream team Helenfen. He had lost his job twice in his career, from July to September 2019 and July 2020 to January 2021. He almost retired early because of this. So far, Norbert’s top league appearance experience has been Cinema in the Eredivisie, with only 32 appearances in total, and this shallow experience is far from those legendary goalkeepers. After experiencing a low point, Norbert became the main goalkeeper of the Netherlands in the World Cup. With NoberWhat is particularly interesting is that Mendy was also unemployed and did not work for a whole year from July 2014 to July 2015.
