Dutch overcome late nerves to sink Japan (2:1) (FIFA.com) 10 Jun 2005 It was a carnival atmosphere at a packed Parkstad Limburg Stadium in Kerkrade as the Netherlands put on an inspired display of football in the first 45 minutes to down brave Japan in their first match at the FIFA World Youth Championship Netherlands 2005. In a vivid contest of orange and blue, the Europeans' class showed through from the offing. With speed on the flanks, a fearsome rearguard and class through the middle with its epicentre at captain Hedwiges Maduro, the Dutch U-20s were reviving nostalgic echoes of their total football forbearers. With a series of menacing attacks already under their belt, it took only six minutes for the hosts to find their opener. Arsenal youngster Quincy Owusu Abeyie lived up to billing when he fired in a fine diagonal ball from the right. And after a delicate heel flick from Ajax Amsterdam and senior Dutch international Babel, all Afellay had to do was tap the ball home from 12 yards (1:0, 7'). "In the first half the Japanese had no answer for Owusu Abeyie," revered Dutch boss Foppe de Haan told members of the press after the final whistle. "He was quite simply remarkable." Try as they might to find a foothold, the delicate Japanese were just no match for their bustling, ultra-inventive hosts. Soon after the opener, Holland were again on their bikes. Rick Kruys of Utrecht sizzled a shot that Japan keeper Shusaku Nishikawa was relieved to see slip past the far post before some brilliant work down the left from Owusu Abeyie nearly sprang Babel again. It didn't take Babel long to atone for his slight sin as he linked up with the magnificent Owusu Abeyie once more shortly after. The Arsenal man's foraging run up the left saw him leave five Japanese players in his wake. The resulting low cross to Babel was nothing short of perfection, and the striker slammed home from close range (2:0, 18'). Japan did manage some pockets of brave resistance just after the goal. Akihiro Ienaga had the best chance to pull one back, but his header fizzed just past Kenneth Vermeer's post. Nothing more than a false dawn for the Asians, the Clockwork Oranje kept up their relentless pressure to the half-time whistle. Owusu Abeyie continually terrorised the Japanese right side with his mesmerising stopovers and dazzling control in the second half. Every touch brought a roar of appreciation from the hypnotised crowd. But as the hosts moved the ball around without much penetration, the Japanese managed a goal against the run of play with their first substantive attack of the second half. Stunned by the surprising Japanese surge, the wheels nearly came off the previously smashing home side. Substitute Koki Mizuno's free kick found the head of Sota Hirayama and the lanky lone striker made no mistake nodding past Kenneth Vermeer 2:1 (76'). Suddenly the Dutch drums fell silent and Ienaga nearly drew level with a ferocious strike in minute 77. And Robert Cullen nearly drew level in the 90th but instead of pleasant dreams, he will have only nightmares about ballooning over the bar from close range. In the end, Japan boss Kiyoshi Okhuma was predictably disappointed. If we played in the beginning they way we played at the end, the result could have been much, much different," the coach lamented after the match. "I am pleased with our performance tonight," de Haan told reporters. "The only problem I have is that we did not score enough goals and that made things difficult for us in the end." 新聞來源： http://www.fifa.com/en/news/feature/0,1451,107337,00.html?articleid=107337 數據統計、先發球員名單： http://www.fifa.com/en/comp/WYC2005MatchReport/0,4382,WYC-2005-A-02,00.html 比賽照片（有 4 張吧？）： http://www.fifa.com/en/modules/PhotoGallery/0,3391,60-E-1-WYC,00.html --- 版主說聲對不起先等下星期忙完期末再翻譯還請版友忍耐～ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.119.27.13 ※ 編輯: Mihajlovic 來自: 140.119.27.13 (06/15 13:34)
