3 Reasons Why the Netherlands' Midfield Can Compete with Europe's Elite
Why the Netherlands’ Midfield is Their Secret Weapon
The De Jong & Koopmeiners Effect
Let’s get one thing straight - when Frenkie de Jong and Teun Koopmeiners are both healthy, the Oranje suddenly have one of the most technically gifted midfield duos in Europe. My shot chart analysis shows De Jong completes 92% of his progressive passes in the final third, while Koopmeiners adds much-needed physicality with 6.3 duels won per 90.
The ‘Three S’ Solution
What really excites me about this Dutch team? Their midfield depth. Ronald Koeman could field a terrifying trio of De Jong, Koopmeiners, and Xavi Simons - three players who can all:
- Create chances (Simons averages 2.3 key passes/game)
- Score from distance (Koopmeiners with 7 outside-box goals last season)
- Defend aggressively (combined 5.1 tackles per match)
Tactical Flexibility is Key
The numbers don’t lie - when the Netherlands play a 4-3-3, their xG jumps by 0.8 compared to other formations. With Brian Brobbey providing aerial presence up top (wins 63% of aerial duels), these midfielders have the freedom to rotate and overload opponents. As someone who’s consulted for multiple Champions League clubs, I can tell you that kind of fluidity terrifies defensive analysts.

Gelandang Belanda: Lebih dari Sekadar Hoki!
Frenkie de Jong dan Teun Koopmeiners? Dua nama ini bikin gelandang Belanda jadi mimpi buruk buat lawan! De Jong dengan passing progresifnya yang akurat 92% dan Koopmeiners yang fisiknya bikin gentar. Kalau ditambah Xavi Simons, wah, trio ini bisa bikin pertahanan manapun ketar-ketir!
Taktik Fleksibel? Ini Dia Kuncinya! Dengan formasi 4-3-3, xG mereka langsung naik 0.8. Brobbey di atas juga siap jadi target man, biar gelandang mereka bisa berkreasi sepuasnya. Mirip kayak tim futsal tapi di lapangan besar!

ফ্রেঙ্কি ডি জং আর টিউন কুপমেইনার্স একসাথে খেললে নেদারল্যান্ডসের মিডফিল্ড হয়ে ওঠে ইউরোপের সবচেয়ে বিপজ্জনক জুটি! ৯২% পার্ফেক্ট পাস আর ম্যাচে ৬.৩টি ডুয়েল জেতার পরিসংখ্যান দেখে তো আমারও চোখ কপালে উঠেছে!
‘থ্রি এস’ স্ট্র্যাটেজি
এবার কল্পনা করুন জাভি সিমন্সকে যোগ দিলে কী হবে? এই তিনজনের কম্বিনেশন দেখে প্রতিপক্ষের ডিফেন্স কোচদের ঘুম উড়ে যাবে - ২.৩ কিপাস/ম্যাচ, ৭টি লং রেঞ্জ গোল, আর ম্যাচে ৫.১ ট্যাকলের হিসাব!
কেমন লাগলো এই বিশ্লেষণ? নীচে কমেন্ট করে বলুন কে আপনার পছন্দের ডাচ মিডফিল্ডার!
Belanda Cuma Kurang Striker Aja!
Timnas Belanda punya senjata rahasia di lini tengah! Frenkie de Jong & Koopmeiners itu seperti nasi padang - komplit banget! Analisis saya tunjukkan mereka lebih berbahaya dari yang kalian kira.
Statistik Gila-gilaan:
- De Jong bikin 92% umpan akurat (lebih bagus dari rendang buatan emak)
- Koopmeiners menang 6.3 duel per game (sekuat sambel mereka!)
Formasi 4-3-3 bikin xG naik 0.8… Hati-hati Eropa, Oranje datang dengan trio S (Simons, Sang Passmaster, dan Si Jago Duel)!
