Should Chinese players be blamed to all the faults? No, that's not the case. According to Lippi, the coach from Guangzhou Evergrande, Qin Sheng and Zhao Xu are both defensive players, they shouldn't play together at the same game. And Zheng Zhi is an offensive player, his effect will be more apparent as a midfielder. Wang Yongpo, who is in form right now, even didn't get a chance to play. Chinese head coach Camacho completely broke with convention, it caused the defensive system of Chinese football team became very weak.

After the friendly match, Camacho heard boos from the crowds. Camacho felt shamed especially in front of his old adversary Louis van Gaal. Camacho said that national football team worked very hard. Dutch was good at running in the field. Their attitude towards the game was worth to be learned by us. Our team was reduced to ten men early in the first half. This caused our team very passive.
