Chapter 468: Robben: I am eager to win, and today we will definitely defeat our opponents!
Soon after, the Dutch bus arrived, and Van Gaal led the Dutch superstars off the bus.
Not surprisingly, reporters issued a warm call to them.
Van Gaal and the Dutch players walked out of the press group.
The Dutch reporter had a smile on his face and glanced at the Spanish reporter. Only Del Bosque and Li were interviewed by the Spanish team. Look at the Dutch team...
The confidence between the two is clear at a glance!
A reporter asked Van Gaal: "Lee said in an interview just now that he is here to win and win the championship. What do you think of this?"
Van Gaal said with dull eyes: "Who doesn't come here to win? Who doesn't come here to win the championship? Since Brazil, no team has successfully defended the World Cup.
If Spain can break this rule, I will congratulate them, but they have to get through us first!
It is commendable for young people to have aspirations and ambitions. He has been going so smoothly in the past two years. He doesn't know that there are many unsatisfactory times in life.
Maybe this World Cup will wake him up and make him understand that football is a team sport and one person's performance cannot determine the final result."
Dutch reporters nodded.
Li Chuanqi has indeed had a smooth ride since his debut and has created many miracles.
There are no miracles in the World Cup. What we compete for is strength, hard power.
No matter how good you perform, if other players are in a sluggish state, your team will still be unable to achieve good results.
Van Persie said in an interview with media reporters: "Lee is not a problem. As long as we do our job well, there will be no problem in defeating Spain.
I think the key to this game is not defense, but offense. As long as we attack well, we will definitely get the results we want!"
Robben said: "The scene four years ago made me miserable. I didn't like that feeling. I longed for victory. Today we will definitely defeat our opponents!"
Defense stalwart Vlaar said cautiously: "Actually, there are not many ways to contain Lee. The best way is not to give him a chance to shoot."
It sounds like he didn't say it. Of course, there can't be a goal without a shot.
But it pointed out the essence and core of the problem.
"The purpose of cutting off other players' contact with him is to reduce his chances of touching the ball. If he touches the ball less, his shooting opportunities will be reduced accordingly."
Vlaar said: "That's what we need to do in this game. However, even if we can contain Li, Spain has other players.
Spain is a strong team and it is difficult to defeat them, just as it is difficult to contain Li.
But our purpose on the court is to defeat our opponents!
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is today, we must try our best to win!"
When two strong men meet, the brave one wins.
Everyone knows this truth. There is no such truth in being timid before fighting, not to mention that there is still "grievance" between the two teams.
…
Players from both teams put on their training uniforms and went to the court to start a meticulous warm-up.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and tens of thousands of spectators in the stands worshiped enthusiastically.
This is a grand event that happens every four years. They have been waiting for four years. How many four years are there in a person's life?
For a player, there are a few more four years.
Therefore, in order not to leave any regrets for ourselves, no one will not only fight with all their strength on the World Cup stage, but also fight for it.
In the broadcast booth are TV stations from all over the world, and they want to provide live commentary to the world.
There are guns and cannons set up on the sidelines. They want to leave highlight clips and show the charm of football to fans around the world.
At three o'clock, the players from both sides ended their warm-up and returned to the locker room one after another to make final preparations for the battle.
After Li Chuanqi returned to the locker room, he took off his training clothes, dried the sweat on his body with a towel, and sat quietly on the stool.
Del Bosque adjusted the tactical board and prepared for the tactical explanation.
The atmosphere in the locker room was very quiet, and within the silence was a strong fighting spirit.
Bosque coughed, and the players raised their heads and turned their attention to the old man.
"A new journey begins!"
Everyone exhaled a long breath, yes, a new journey has begun.
Del Bosque said: "Four years ago we reached the top of the world. That was our glory. Four years have passed and a new journey has begun. I think everyone, like me, definitely wants to stand on the top of the world again and look down.
world!
But...it's going to be hard.
Because everyone is studying us and studying how to defeat us.
Is it too cold at high places?
No!
We must forget all the glory and cannot let the past glory become our burden!
We have to forget that we were once champions, we are now just a team that wants to compete for the championship, a team that wants to compete for the championship like the other 31 teams!"
Bosque asked everyone to take off their baggage and travel light.
This is easier said than done.
Pique shrugged and said: "Coach, we will not forget the glory four years ago, because it is real! Not only should we not forget, but we should also remember and remember the moment when we were great.
Only by remembering can we have stronger fighting spirit and continue our glory!"
Harvey nodded and said: "Four years have passed, but the moment when we won the championship often appears in my mind. It is difficult to forget. However, I agree with the coach's words that we should go into battle lightly!"
Iniesta said: "The pressure of defending the championship is always there. All we can do is play every game well and kick every ball well."
Bosque helplessly turned his attention to Li Chuanqi.
As Spain's first World Footballer, and having won La Liga and the Champions League in the season that just ended, Li Chuanqi's status in the locker room has grown exponentially.
Li Chuanqi said: "When I was interviewed by reporters just now, I said, I am here to win! I am here to win the championship!
People should put pressure on themselves, only with pressure can they be motivated!
I like jobs that are stressful and challenging, which will make me more focused and enterprising!”
Costa gave a thumbs up to Li Chuanqi.
Bosque knew that his opening statement had failed, and he shook his head helplessly in his heart.
Forget it, let’s get down to business and arrange tactics.
Bosque looked back, pointed at the tactical board and said: "The back line..."
The fighting spirit in the Dutch locker room is extremely strong. Four years ago, they unfortunately lost one goal and lost everything.
They have been looking for an opportunity for revenge for four years, and today this opportunity finally came.
They have only one belief in their hearts at the moment - to defeat Spain!
Van Gaal is arranging tactics: "When switching from offense to defense, the first thing we have to do is to cut off the connection between other players and Li. As long as we do this, today's victory will definitely belong to us!"
