Ronald Koeman's tactical approach for the Netherlands' World Cup round of 32 match against Morocco has come under intense scrutiny. Critics argue that his decision to set up the team with a defensive "anti-football" style ultimately led to their elimination.
The strategy, which saw the Netherlands surrender possession and struggle to create chances, backfired spectacularly on Monday, resulting in a 1-1 draw and a subsequent penalty shootout loss.
This tactical gamble is seen as a significant factor in the Dutch team's disappointing exit from the tournament.
