How does one fix this?

How does one fix this?

Impossible and it never will. The KNVB has it's head in the sand thinking 70s style football will still create succes.

Van Gaal and the Dutch football association hate eachother's guts.

Van Gaal looks at his players and the qualities they have, and then he builds a formation that optimally fits those qualities. The football association, who are just a bunch of guys in suits, leave very little room for the coach to actually coach the team. They insist that we play a 4-3-3, whether or not our players have the technical skills to do so. As a result, the coach is just a figurehead who lines up the eleven most popular kids in the association approved 4-3-3, and the suits wait in the skybox with bottles of corked champagne wondering why this random lineup of amateurs and hasbeens isn't producing Barcelona tier tiki taka.

When the media starts pointing fingers and wondering if Blind should go, remember the real reason football is shit. Suits with zero football knowledge sucked the fun out of it and killed it by focusing on the bottom line. Not a single kid wants to play football anymore. Football has been hidden away by expensive subscriptions, and the only people who still watch it do so out of club loyalty, not because they give a shit about the sport.

We need to clean sweep the KNVB and make Dutch football fun again. We used to have the most innovative coaches and star players. No we have yes-men in three piece suits and an ageing Robben who is almost brought to tears when reporters keep asking him why the Dutch national team is so terrible.

give LCIM the holy grail

we need a foreign manager
apparently sampaoli is interested

When the Netherlands played Italy recently, Guillit was one of the pundits they had on air. He explained the flaw the Netherlands has.

After the WC 2010 final against Spain. The Netherlands received alot of hate for their physical and ugly football. The KNVB went into overdrive and demanded that the Dutch clubs and NT played like Barcalona and must produce their tier of Tiki Taka.

The result of this is the the Dutch NT always builds up from the back and plays wide. Every other NT knows this and knows how to counter this.

You could clearly see this in the Bulgaria game. As soon as the Dutch started building up from the back. The forwards of Bulgaria put pressure on the defenders and covered off every other Dutch player. The only solution is to pass the ball to the goalkeeper, who can do nothing but kick it long. Then Dutch players are not willing to fight for the ball and they loose ball posession.

In short the problem originated from the ugly and violent WC 2010 final.

1st we need to sweep a broom throught the KNVB, get ride of 4-3-3 and building up from the back.

purge the current establishment

>men in suits boogeyman
sounds like a populist argument

Face it, your generation of players are shit relatively speaking.

Already happened

It's a combination of factors.

> KNVB is shit and got their heads in the sand.
> Academies are producing crap players
> KNVB is the only association allready forcing "financial fair play" even though it has not yet been adopted by UEFA.
> The KNVB need to spot being teacher's pet and start spending recklessly like some of the other leagues.

No it did not. Only Blind got the sack, the entire KNVB needs to fuck off.

Just admit that you're, historically and objectively speaking, inferior germans. Ask regular germany to annex germania inferior again. There, all your problems sorted.

we'll just wait for World War 3 to errupt and then we'll secretly sweep in and take over German, while they are busy fighting off the new Sovjet Union. They'll never expect it.

I'll admit, there's no Robbens there but they're not that bad. They definitely should be good enough to qualify for a tournament
I believe that with the right manager, we could make a pretty decent team here

The problem (as has been pointed out several times ITT) is that so many people are still stuck in the 70's mentality of "muh totaalvoetbal". That needs to change and I think that a foreign manager could bring about that change

germans are just mountaindutch desu

rimjobs

KNVB manages to be worse than CBF.

> mountaindutch
that would be Austrians desu

Let's agree on
> Dutch and North Germans = swamp Germans
> Middle Germans = forest Germans
> South Germans, Austrians and Swiss Germans = mountain Germans

Sounds like you've identified a problem with the KNVB. I wonder what a solution or fix could be?

Etymologically speaking, aren't the germans the noisy tribe that lives in the trees? I.e. plebs, noisy neighbours of the more civilised Belgae.

>civilised
>can't even pronounce the letter g

Independent frisland when?

Spoken like a pleb. A hard guttural "g" is DISGUSTING. I very much prefer our sexy, soft, warm, welcoming, poetic "g". Even dutchies do. Quite a few living in Belgium and when one goes back those hard, guttural sounds makes his skin crawl as well.

Can he fix team Netherlands?

I don't think Larry David knows a lot about football desu

It happens with other FAs as well, to varying degrees.

Brazil was getting buttfucked by their own FA as well, and that was not too long ago.

>hiring Mano Menezes
>then Flopao
>then Dunga, which even left them in mediocre shape in WCQ before Tite came in

>muh Germanic brotherhood

Shut the fuck with this cringe-inducing roleplaying bullshit. Lappen

Calm down Finn-Kevin, it's just some innocent fun bullshit.

anything over 10 meters above sea level is a mountain desu

Any chance dutchies will take the anti-'Ollandse School too far?

>produce workmanlike players
>play workmanlike football that brings out the "best" in your players
>produce more workmanlike players because that's the way you play now
