Chapter 1079 China VS Netherlands
It is normal for Dong Fangzhuo to be criticized. After all, he used to go to any lengths to win. Seeing the Argentinian media criticizing him, he didn't pay much attention. Who didn't do anything wrong when he was young...
Besides, if there is any country in the world that is most dissatisfied with Dong Fangzhuo, which country must be Argentina. Who said that Dong Fangzhuo has been suppressing Messi all these years, making Messi unable to hold his head up? Except for a few rational Argentine fans, I believe that most Most Argentine fans dislike Dong Fangzhuo. Their national sentiments are there. No matter how unhappy they are with Messi, they still don't want to see Messi lose to Dong Fangzhuo.
Amid the chaos, the quarter-finals were finally over. Germany and Belgium also eliminated their opponents. The national teams that finally reached the quarterfinals were: Germany, France, Argentina, the Netherlands, Brazil, China, Belgium and Colombia.
The specific matchup situations are Germany VS France, Argentina VS Belgium, Brazil VS Colombia, and China VS Netherlands.
Among the top eight, four countries have won the World Cup before, while Belgium, Colombia and China appear to be slightly weaker. There is also the uncrowned king of the World Cup, the Netherlands.
Among the latest odds offered by gambling companies, Brazil, Germany, Argentina, France and the Netherlands are still the most optimistic about their winning odds. Then the Chinese team’s winning odds have risen to sixth place. The first is Brazil, and the third is The second is Germany, the third is Argentina, the fourth is the Netherlands, the fifth is France, and the sixth is China...
However, there is a big difference in the odds between the Chinese team and the previous teams. The Brazilian team’s winning odds are 5.01 to 1, but the Chinese team’s winning odds are 21.33 to 1. It can also be seen that the betting company does not actually win. I am not optimistic about the Chinese team winning the final championship.
In the quarter-final match between the Chinese team and the Netherlands, the betting company also offered a half-half handicap to the Netherlands. On the whole, betting companies believe that it is normal for the Chinese team to find it difficult to win the Netherlands. Although this Dutch team did not score many goals, their defense was really to the extreme. They were originally at their peak 4 years ago, but 4 years later, Dutch players who are one year older are still favored by gambling companies.
The tragedy of the Netherlands is actually second only to Germany. Although the Netherlands is known as the uncrowned king, Germany is actually the national team that has lost the most championships. However, they have won the world championship, while the Netherlands has not...
However, precisely because they have not won a world championship, the Netherlands is more eager for the World Cup than any other country, even Argentina is not more eager than them.
For them, even reaching the finals is a failure. Only the championship can soothe their souls.
As for Chinese fans and the Chinese team.
Chinese fans are naturally full of fantasy, and the Chinese team is actively preparing for the game.
No matter what the news media is doing these days, the Chinese team has been very quiet. Everyone just wants to wait quietly for the quarter-finals to come.
Most Chinese players have experienced the battle four years ago. Some are substitutes and some are the absolute main players.
Everyone knows what this game means, and no one wants to lose.
In recent days, Krauchen has been using the starting lineup from the quarter-finals in training. Feng Xiaoting, who was unable to play due to suspension four years ago, was the most excited. He wanted to make up for the regrets he had suffered four years ago.
Of course, he's not alone.
The veterans also care a lot.
Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi are particularly obvious.
They work particularly hard in training. They always come to the training ground very early these days and treat training as a game.
On this day, in a training session on Thursday afternoon, Sun Jihai lost his position because of Zhang Linpeng's defense, and Zhang Linpeng was scolded by him.
Of course, Sun Jihai was simply talking about his defensive problems in training.
"Zhang Linpeng!"
"Can you stop rushing up all the time! You can rush! But you have to be able to run back and guard against it! If you can't run back,
The right side is empty, what should I do? "
Sun Jihai's voice was extremely loud, almost roaring. After Feng Renliang rushed up from behind Zhang Linpeng, he faced Sun Jihai with the ball, but Sun Jihai was dunked by Feng Renliang.
He yelled, not sure if he was angry or if he really cared about this defense.
Krauchen and Dong Fangzhuo were shocked at that time.
Sun Jihai was really angry, and he continued to spray: "You have to understand, our next game is a special quarter-final! If you think the game is meaningless, then you continue to play blindly! "
Krauchen did not step forward to stop this, but watched quietly.
He could understand Sun Jihai's mood.
Dong Fangzhuo can also understand.
Sun Jihai is almost 37 years old, Zheng Zhi is 34 years old, and Shao Jiayi is also 34 years old. This will definitely be their last World Cup trip, and they certainly care about every bit of it.
Sun Jihai will definitely have no chance in the next term. He originally had no chance in this term, but as a veteran of the national team, Krauchen still brought him on. Shao Jiayi has no chance and has retired. As for Zheng Zhi, he still has it. In his previous life, Zheng Zhi did not retire until 2019...
Suddenly, Dong Fangzhuo also thought of himself. In half a year, he would be 30 years old... a tragedy.
But I should still be able to play in one World Cup...
But, he is also old!
In the blink of an eye, it has been 10 years since I came to this world!
10 years, how many 10 years can there be in life?
Suddenly, Dong Fangzhuo also realized that he was getting old.
Then he took two steps forward and came to Sun Jihai and Zhang Linpeng.
"Xiao Zhang,"
"Your defense is indeed not focused enough. Brother Hai is right. You must stay focused enough. You will encounter the world's top wingers in the game. The defense on the right is all tied to you. If you If we can't bear it, Brother Hai and the others will also suffer. The training ground is also a battlefield, and we must maintain the same attitude in facing it. Feng Renliang is Robben! Your task should be to stop him."
"This year is our best chance and we should stick together, no excuses."
"Brother Hai, please be calm. I believe Xiao Zhang just didn't think about it for a moment and will make mistakes."
"At the end of the day, we all know what our goals are."
…
It was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Even the Chinese media reporters who secretly hid in the corner to watch the Chinese team's training could clearly take pictures.
It seems like this is internal strife within the national team, which is quite good breaking news. If this news is published, it will not only be the headlines in China, but it will probably be the headlines in the Netherlands, Brazil and the whole world.
Chinese media reporters are quite unscrupulous. Perhaps at this moment, they did not realize what this meant.
Fortunately, there is also the national team leader Zhu Heyuan. When Sun Jihai became angry, he had already noticed the presence of reporters and came to them immediately.
"Don't report this kind of thing. No matter how valuable this news is, it's not as valuable as the Chinese team getting an ideal result, right?"
Zhu Heyuan had a faint smile on his lips, "We are all old friends, and it should be said that we all have the greatest common goal. Whether we can do it or not depends on this year."
"Report more about the Netherlands and other teams. I heard that Robben has caused a lot of trouble recently. You should go there to communicate."
"This is why you can enter the training ground, but media reporters from other countries cannot enter the training ground, because we are all Chinese and we must promote positive energy."
In the Netherlands, there is indeed internal strife.
In every major competition, there will inevitably be internal strife. This is a great tradition of the Dutch team. Yesterday, the British "Daily Mail" reported that at the training base in Rio de Janeiro where the Dutch team is stationed, Robben got up and kicked his teammate angrily because he was knocked down by his teammate Indi's excessive movement.
During training, Robben was kicked down twice by Feyenoord defender Indy. Especially in the second confrontation, Indy moved too much and did not stop his feet. Robben was knocked down and fell to his knees on the court with a very painful expression. Then Robben got up and was completely angered and kicked him with a flying kick. "Revenge" on teammates. The irate Bayern winger briefly left the field before returning, seemingly uninjured. It is worth mentioning that Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, who was standing nearby, witnessed the whole process of the conflict between his disciples.
"Robben is a player with a strong ability to dribble and break through. I think the time he fell was unnecessary. There is indeed a bit of tit-for-tat between us." When the reporter said that he saw the relationship between the two When there was a hint of gunpowder, Indy replied, "You're right."
The British "Telegraph" said, "Robben is indeed dissatisfied with his teammates' big defensive moves. After all, the World Cup has reached a critical moment. It would be a pity if he was injured at this time."
However, some foreign fans sided with Indy, based on the fact that Robben has long been known as "flopping". In the news commentary of the "Daily Mail", some fans joked, "Robben seems to be unable to control his flopping during training. World Cup referees, have you seen it?"
"He has now taken diving to a new level."
…
It's just internal strife in the Netherlands. The Chinese team can't have such a scandal. It would affect unity too much, so Zhu Heyuan immediately stopped the Chinese reporters from reporting.
The reporters all expressed their understanding, and there was no negative news about the Chinese team on the Internet. At the same time, the quarter-finals finally began.
In the match between Brazil and Colombia, the host nation Brazil won in the end. At the Castellan Stadium, the Brazilian team won Colombia 2:1. However, their ace Neymar was injured during the game. This is the biggest problem for the Brazilian team. Blow.
After that, Germany defeated France 1:0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
In this way, Brazil VS Germany has become a foregone conclusion...
Dong Fangzhuo also saw a tragedy coming in advance. In the absence of Neymar, Brazil should have lost 1:7 to Germany. I wonder if this will become a reality again.
At noon on Saturday, Krauchen attended the press conference with Dong Fangzhuo.
He didn’t say much about the match between China and the Netherlands, but talked about the future match between Germany and Brazil: “In my opinion, after Brazil lacks Neymar, it will be difficult to form a confrontation with Germany. After missing the core Neymar, , the Brazilian team may not be able to find the rhythm of the game. If they play too hastily, the result may be very unexpected. The German team played very steadily in this cup. Although there are not many games with big scores, it is difficult to win against them. It’s difficult.”
In words, he is not optimistic about Brazil.
The Brazilian reporters present felt that Dong Fangzhuo was a little nosy.
"Dong, first think about how the Chinese team can win against the Netherlands. Do you think China can win against the Netherlands?"
"I don't know, but every one of us is ready and I believe it will be a pretty good game tonight."
"I think the Netherlands dare not say that they will definitely be able to win against China. As for the final result, everyone will know after eight o'clock tonight."
As for the Netherlands, Sneijder also acted very low-key when attending the press conference, almost the same as Dong Fangzhuo's lines.
Then the two sides announced the starting lineup. The Chinese team had no changes and was exactly the same as the quarter-finals. As for the Dutch team, the internal strife between Robben and Indy remained unaffected, and Van Gaal started both of them at the same time.
Goalkeeper: No. Hilleson
Defenders: Kuyt, De Vrij, Vlaar, Martins Indy
Midfielder: Wijnaldum, Blind, Sneijder, Depay
Forwards: Robin van Persie, Robben
※※※※
Dutch fans and Chinese fans each occupy half of the New Water Arena in El Salvador, with orange and white colors clearly visible. Because orange and red are too similar, the Chinese team could only choose white uniforms, while the Netherlands wore their traditional orange uniforms.
The fans on both sides are quite friendly. After all, there is a very deep relationship between Sneijder and Dong Fangzhuo in the two teams. There are many fans from the two countries standing together to take photos.
"Dear viewers and fans, welcome to the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup. Today we bring you the match between China and the Netherlands."
"The game will start in twenty minutes..."
The camera switched to a warm scene in the tunnel. Sneijder and Robben were hugging Dong Fangzhuo enthusiastically. Even Kuyt came over to say hello to Dong Fangzhuo.
Of course, there is also Van Persie, these guys are all old rivals.
"They're all old."
"Whether it's Sneijder, Robin van Persie, Robben, or Dong Fangzhuo. They once ruled the football world together, but time makes people grow old, and the youngest Dong Fangzhuo is about to turn 30."
"Four years later, Dong Fangzhuo will be 34 years old, so we must cherish this World Cup and cherish the days of watching him play..."
"Of course, in our Chinese team, Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi are all likely to say goodbye to the national team, especially Sun Jihai, who can still start for the Chinese team when he is about to turn 37, which is really great. It’s not easy anymore. Veterans never die, they just wither away..."
"Okay, now the players from both sides have lined up and are ready to play..."
