Bern - Phenomenal, unique, spectacular - these are the Vantastischen four: Van Basten, van der Sar, van der Vaart, van Nistelrooy.
Getting to grips with success-axis gave the Oranje EM favorites. Friday she wants to lead the team against France in the quarterfinals. EXPRESS explains the Vantastic 4th
Vantastic BastenAllein of the appearance is similar to the 43-year-old growing the best kicker in the country, Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten was also a mentor. Nevertheless, he changed to the idea of "king" Cruyff playing system. The biggest improvement brought about the transformation to the "double-six."
The success rate of modern football against Italy was van Basten right. Still, he keeps the ball flat, "To be a favorite, you have to deliver more than a good game. We need to get back on the floor. "
Vantastic SarEin safer backing from the Oranje. Edwin van der Sar can muster plenty of experience: Since 1995 the national team goalkeeper for England. His club career began at Ajax Amsterdam, then went over Juventus and Fulham to Man Utd. A few weeks ago after 13 years, he won the Champions League for the second time (at that time with Ajax). Now he is doing everything possible to get at the end of career with 37 years of his first title with Holland.
Vantastic VaartDer quiet thinker and driver in the midfield. Rafael van der Vaart is not an egomaniac. Formerly self-promoter like Edgar Davids and Patrick Kluivert were the reason for unrest in the team. There is entirely up to Vantastic Vaart different. The 25-year-old is a team player, binds his teammates like Wesley Sneijder and Dirk Kuyt with a best.
Vantastic is Nistelrooy the spearhead of the Netherlands. Against the Italians, he scored the redeeming 1-0, fought his chances of serving colleagues - vänomenal: 31 goals in 60 internationals. This shows the 32-year-old soccer players as fair as he does not fall despite the touch in Italian 16-meter space, but still trying to reach the ball.
France coach Raymond Domenech, seen from the four Vantastischen impressed yet little: "We play against the Netherlands, to win. Not to lose. "
