The top 8 are generated, and each team has a rare two-day gap period.
More than half of the teams have been eliminated, and the remaining teams have also given their players a holiday to relieve the fatigue caused by the competition.
Of course, the China Hong Kong team did the same thing, but Li Yu still had a sponsor's event to participate in during the holidays.
For the Tamron series promotion event in South Africa, Li Yu, as the protagonist, must be present.
Nike prepared 2,000 sets of clothing for sale on the day of the event, but they still underestimated the enthusiasm of South African fans, and of course the Chinese fans in South Africa.[
In one hour, just one hour, all 2,000 pieces of clothing specially prepared for this event were sold out.
Tenglong equipment has become the first series for people who love football, just like Jordan in basketball. Compared with the villain-like logo, it is suspected that the Chinese Dragon Teng logo is more attractive.
Li Yu spent half her day off working on a platform for sponsors.
Back at the hotel, Li Yu could finally enjoy his vacation, but he had no other choice. He had to sleep and have a good sleep.
The next day, the China Hong Kong team resumed training in the morning and ball training in the afternoon. The main thing was that Eriksson was arranging some targeted tactics. It was more like a tactical meeting held outdoors.
The Dutch team is the opponent of the China Hong Kong team.
Why is it said that Van Marwijk deceived the world? Anyone familiar with Dutch football knows that in the past few months, Van Marwijk has been communicating with many famous players, media, and tactical masters in the Netherlands (including Van Gaal and Hiddink).
) confrontation. Most people think that Robben should play on the right, because Robben is best at cutting in from the right, dunking the defender and then shooting with his left foot. Robben used this move and in the past
This season, he defeated many strong teams such as Fiorentina, Manchester United, and Lyon, making the whole of Europe frightened! However, Van Marwijk firmly opposed this. He has always claimed that Robben's suitable position is on the left.
Before the start of the World Cup, Van Marwijk repeatedly emphasized: "Robben plays on the right? No, I think Robben is suitable for playing on the left. It is true that he played on the right at Bayern, but the Netherlands has the staffing of the Netherlands." Outsiders believe that Van Marwijk plays on the right.
Marvik wanted to "protect" Kuyt's position and use Kuyt, who was better defensive, to protect the Dutch right back (Van der Veer was inexperienced after all).
But is this true? The answer is no. In the last game, Robben came back as a substitute and played on the right. Today, Van Marwijk asked Robben to start the game, and he still played on the right! Not only that, Van Marwijk also
Let Kuyt play on the left wing, specifically to make way for Robben. Until this time, people did not know that around Robben, Van Marwijk spent several months creating a huge "smoke!" Why did he
Hiding Robben all this time is to keep this suspense hidden until the end, so that all "imaginary enemies" can't guard against it.
But this move is undoubtedly useful. In the area where he is best, Robben performed extremely well. In 71 minutes, he ran 7465 meters and completed two shots. Both shots were
It was a standard "Robben-style" shot. He took the ball from his right rib and cut in laterally, changed direction and speed to the top of the arc in the penalty area, and then volleyed with his left foot. In the 18th minute, he chose to shoot low.
He shot into the near corner, but the goalkeeper tried his best to save the ball but still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net; in the 50th minute, he volleyed with his left foot into the far corner, but the goalkeeper struggled to block it.
This is Robben's unique killer move. In the last game, he also used this method to hit the goal post and help the Dutch team score the winning goal. In fact, Robben's appearance on the right is more suitable for him to use his unique skills.
. At this point, Van Marwijk chose to do what is good and not to be stubborn.
There is reason to believe that Van Marwijk did not hesitate to let Kuyt "give way" and let Robben play on the right, just to deal with the imaginary opponent in the 14th final (the winner between Brazil and Chile, not surprisingly,
It will be Brazil). As we all know, the Brazilian team has a balanced and strong lineup. If we insist on saying that Brazil has a weakness, it is Brazil’s left back Bastos. Bastos was originally a left winger from Lyon, but was replaced by Dunga.
Transformed into a left back. Although Bastos' offensive power is quite good, there are still some hidden dangers in defense. If Robben breaks out along the way, even five-star Brazil will have a headache!
In the past season, Robben was a player who deliberately stayed in the group stage in the Champions League and became impressive as soon as he entered the knockout rounds. When Bayern defeated Fiorentina, Robben always scored the decisive goal at the last minute; against
He also performed extremely well in Lyon. Now, Van Marwijk asked Robben to recharge his batteries in the group stage and just warm up in the final game. The purpose is even more obvious, to make him the decisive winner in the knockout rounds.
gentlemen.
Robben showed his sword in the first game of the knockout round. Now, all Robben needs to do is to wait calmly for Brazil. Van Marwijk replaced Robben in the 71st minute of the game, and his purpose may be even more serious.
Obviously. I'm afraid, what these generals and masters and apprentices are thinking about right now is China and Hong Kong!
Historically, the Dutch team has been blessed with endless frontcourt offensive talents. This season alone is enviable and gorgeous. Robben, Snyder, Van der Vaart, and Robin van Persie are all world-class.
Let’s take a look at the starting four of the Dutch team’s defense today, Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Matthijssen, and Van Bronckhorst. The most famous of these four is the old captain Van Bronckhorst, and he is also
The most stable performer among these defenders, but due to his age, he often makes low-level mistakes. Neither Matheson nor Van der Wiel can be called world-class. Although Heitinga participated in the last World Cup in Germany
, but there have also been missed defenses many times. It can be seen that the Dutch team's defense line cannot be compared with other giants in terms of staffing.
Although the Dutch team has focused more on defense in this cup, and the Dutch team has also won four consecutive victories.
But in the four games, they encountered opponents such as Denmark, Cameroon, Japan, and Slovakia, and none of them were truly world-class giants. And even such a team has repeatedly exposed the Dutch team's defense.
Fatal problem.
Not surprisingly, in the eight-to-four match, the Dutch team will face the impact of the China Hong Kong team led by Li Yu. At that time, Konka, Muric, and Li Yu will put the Dutch defense to the ultimate test. If the defenders still often make mistakes
Due to the non-marking errors shown in this game, it may be difficult for the Oranje to overcome the China Hong Kong team. Presumably Van Marwijk is also aware of the problems in his defense.[
When the real decisive battle comes, the training of the back line will be strengthened, otherwise they will always be the "Crown King".
Van Marwijk, who has a thin face and gray hair, does not have a distinctive coaching style. Apart from blocking public opinions to block Ruud van Nistelrooy from the national team, he has not made any "personalized" actions since taking office.
What Van Marwijk pursues is not flying, but stability; what he believes in is not beauty, but utility; he has no edges and corners, but wants to wear off the edges of those big names. His wife’s own words are worth pondering: “I never care what formation the opponent adopts.
, I just want to control my own dressing room.” The Dutch team disintegrates from within in almost every World Cup, and Van Marwijk wants to break this fate by creating the most united and collaborative Orange team.
The Dutch team broke the deadlock 1-0 with "Peter Pan" Robben's iconic cross-cutting from the wing, and then they slowly spent it like a miser, no need for dignity, no need for applause, just
One result. It’s not that the Dutch team can’t fly, but they don’t want to fly. They deliberately slowed down the pace to store energy, abandoned Basten’s “frontcourt pressure” and “powerful attack from both wings” advanced style of play, and just waited to receive the ball.
Come down and have a good fight with the Brazilians.
Van Marwijk knew how to plan carefully. Before the game was over, he replaced the two aces of Robben and Van Persie, saving them for use against Dunga.
Only Robben and Van Persie are the real attackers of the Dutch team. Kuyt devotes much more energy to pressing than breaking through. Sneijder's retreat almost forms a "three midfielders" with De Jong and Van Bommel.
So 4231 became a pyramid-like 4321. If ugliness can bring victory, what's wrong with being ugly? Van Marwijk believed in the philosophy of ugliness. He only needed "two beautiful moments" of genius to win.
Enough.
Just like a passionate young man whose original ideals are washed away by time and accidents; just like an elegant and tender woman whose original innocence is eroded by money and vanity. It can be said that she has matured or fallen.
In the era of laughing prostitution, in this society that regards kindness as cowardice, Van Marwijk made his choice. The Dutch team introduced a new "hypnotic football" that will make fans yawn, but Van Marwijk
I believe people will only remember the champion when they wake up.
Judging from the current situation, Van Marwijk has injected more utilitarianism into the Dutch team. But for the "Oranje", this is not a bad thing.
After all, the Dutch, who have always played offensive football, can only get the embarrassing reputation of "Crown King" so far. In the history of the World Cup, most of the people who can achieve good results are those who play utilitarian football. This is just like in 1994
Just like the Brazilian team, under the leadership of Pereira, the Brazilians abandoned the gorgeous Samba football and relied on a defensive strategy, which allowed them to finally win the championship. Now, the proud Dutch are just like the team sixteen years ago.
The Brazilian team, in order to ensure a one-goal lead, did not hesitate to pursue a close match on the field.
Coincidentally, the pragmatism of the Dutch has encountered a World Cup dark horse team like China Hong Kong. Can the dark horse defeat the pragmatic Dutch team?
What Eriksen has repeatedly emphasized is the Dutchman's current pragmatic playing style.
There is nothing more terrifying than pragmatism. Unlike Chile, they can only attack like crazy, which is relatively easy to arrange. However, the pragmatism of the Netherlands has caused a lot of trouble for the China Hong Kong team.
It's a given that Li Yu is being taken care of a lot. How to take care of him and how to defend him will have to be observed during the game.
Eriksen only said one thing: if the China Hong Kong team wants to advance to the semi-finals, all the players in the team must contribute. You cannot always count on Li Yu to contribute alone.
Li Yu also agreed with the head coach's point of view that the performance of the whole team was very important, especially Konka and Muric. When he was being targeted by his opponents, he asked them to perform well.
The head coach and Li Yu made it easy, but it was not easy for the China Hong Kong team to do this. From the looks of it, the China Hong Kong team has become accustomed to Li Yu being able to handle the game alone, and other players are more concerned about it.
Defensively.
What surprised the inquiring reporters was that in the training session that afternoon, after the tactical explanation was completed, the China Hong Kong team began offensive drills, no longer targeting Li Yu alone, but the entire team's overall attack.
The media are confused, is it still useful to practice now?
Is this a smoke?
It's all wrong. Eriksson is really sharpening his skills before the battle. He is arranging offensive tactics in advance for a very likely situation to prepare for a rainy day.
After Li Yu was restricted in several games, the China Hong Kong team could only defend passively. It was very difficult to switch from defense to offense. Facing the Dutch team, Eriksen tried to find some ways to solve it. Although it seemed that
It's a little sudden, but there are always dangers when you're prepared in a competition!
The China Hong Kong team's pre-war performance was very abnormal.[
The Dutch team is even more worrying. Just as the quarter-final match against China Hong Kong is about to begin, an internal strife scandal breaks out again within the Dutch team.
A local Dutch TV station hired a lip reader to analyze Van Persie's complaints to the coach when he was substituted in the match between the Netherlands and Slovakia. The conclusion was that Van Persie kept chattering to coach Van Marwijk, "It's time to be substituted."
It's Sneijder, not me!" However, before the war began, Sneijder, another protagonist involved in the incident, firmly believed, "This is impossible."
The cause of the incident came from a substitution adjustment made by head coach Van Marwijk when the Netherlands played against Slovakia in the 1\8 final. When the game reached the 82nd minute, Van Persie was replaced, and from the TV screen, we can clearly see
Van Persie was mumbling something. After being translated by a lip reader, Van Persie told the coach that he should not be substituted, and that person should be Sneijder. This sentence triggered the media's focus on the Netherlands.
Speculation about the disharmonious atmosphere within the team.
"Robin (Van Persie) assured me that he didn't say those things, so I have no reason to doubt him anymore." Sneijder said in an interview on Wednesday. "I don't have any problems with him. He is disappointed.
It's understandable that he was substituted. But I don't know the purpose of the media exposing such rumors. I think it is really not a serious matter."
Sneijder also admitted that after defeating Slovakia and reaching the top eight, the team was united as never before. Because everyone realized that the opponent the Netherlands would face next would be a five-time world champion and a stronger one.
The Brazilian team. So at this time, no one and nothing will bother the team.
"Before the game against Brazil, we must unite as one," Sneijder said. "We have set goals for the game and we will use 120% of our energy to face the Brazilian team."
The performance of the Dutch team in this World Cup is eye-catching. Under the leadership of van Marwijk, the Oranje team, which advocates total offense and total defense, played extremely calm and pragmatic in this World Cup. But maybe it is because of this.
With such a low-key attitude, the Netherlands can get through all the way and break into
The top 8. And now standing in front of them is the powerful Brazilian team. Maybe it is not a good thing for the "contradiction" to explode at this time. But players like Sneijder can stand up and clarify the contradiction in a timely manner, at least from this point on
From one point of view, the Dutch have reason to go further.
After successfully advancing to the quarterfinals, Dutch team coach Van Marwijk left all the starting players in the gym for recovery training, while the substitute players came to the Wits University base to continue training. Looking forward to the 1\4 knockout match with China Hong Kong Team
, Van Marwijk made no secret of his confidence in winning, "We are not here to participate in a grand event. We want to become world champions. To do this, we must defeat strong teams like China and Hong Kong."
This year's quarter-finals will see the main players of the European Triple Crown, Derby, which confirms the popularity of utilitarian football in this World Cup. The whole world is willing to learn from Mourinho. This is also the Champions League and World Cup for madmen.
With the madman's defensive arrangement and counterattack philosophy, the Dutch team's "sexy" offensive team that once made people's hearts beat has changed. They don't care about the scene but want results, and don't control the ball but want to score. In contrast, the China Hong Kong team's
The offense is even more special, taking the efficiency emphasized by Mourinho to the extreme. Van Marwijk has become a bit worse. The offense relies on the flash of stars and is not as efficient as teamwork. It is more like Mourinho's first year.
Inter Milan: four different.
Dutch players can adapt to various styles of football. They are the protagonists in any era, which shows that their talents and qualifications are top-notch. It depends on who has a more complete organizational system and who has better luck. Sneijder and Conca said in unison,
"Didn't we play well? The first priority is to win the game. Only after ensuring this can we think about the situation." The offensive technical players in the past have now become Italian, leaving behind Italy.
Babel said, "Previously, our opponents all focused on destroying the ball. We had no choice, but it will be completely different when facing Brazil." It is too idealistic. Today's Netherlands cannot focus on offense.
Listen to the insights of Sneijder, who is Mourinho's spokesman on the field, "I saw the Dutch media criticizing our words. In the Netherlands, you can only win if you win six or seven goals. Scene control and beauty are the key points.
Jax, the culture of Dutch football is that as long as you don’t suppress your opponent and win by a big score, you don’t deserve to win. After arriving in Italy, I changed a lot. I learned a lot from Inter Milan, such as: you don’t control
If the ball kills your opponent, it shows that you have a higher level of ability. This
Last season we played some average games, but the results were very good. In the end, I won the trophy, and people stopped talking about our winning process. Of course I want to win beautifully, but if not, I will be equally happy, and I care more.
The result is not the process. I am not the only one in the team who has this idea. So I don’t expect too many exciting matchups in the World Cup. All teams now pay attention to defense and pay attention to details. They are very nervous. It is too early to comment now, etc.
Let’s see what people have to say when it’s over.”
Sneijder expressed Van Marwijk's sentiments. The Dutch want to change the game of football, entertain the audience, and learn to fight. "We were eliminated by Portugal 4 years ago. We didn't concentrate at all. I believe we can go further this time."
Far, in the group stage, I said Brazil, Argentina and Germany were the favorites, followed by us. Now I don’t predict. I am the same as Inter Milan, no matter who the opponent is, as long as we play well, we don’t care about the opponent. We can go to the end.
.”
The first match of the top 8 between the Netherlands and China Hong Kong is about to take place. Will the Netherlands or China Hong Kong have the last laugh?
