On June 29, local time in Brazil, there are two matches on this day, the first is the Netherlands vs. Mexico, and the winner of this match will compete for the top four places in the quarterfinals against the winner of Costa Rica and China.

I thought that the disparity in strength in this game would make it easy for the Dutch team to win Mexico, but the game process was not as good as I thought. In the first half, the two sides exchanged blanks, in the 48th minute of the second half, dos Santos scored from a distance, Mexico led the Netherlands 1:O, and then both sides got a lot of chances, but did not score, just when many people thought that Mexico would upset the Netherlands, Sneijder equalized with a right-footed shot in the 88th minute; : 1 Hard-fought victory over Mexico.

It was an up-and-down game, and people congratulated the Dutch team and lamented Mexico, who were just four minutes away from victory, but it was in those four minutes that the Dutch team scored an incredible two goals in a row to push Mexico off a cliff.

Three teams have been produced in the quarterfinals, and the fourth team depends on who can win between Costa Rica and China. The second and fourth match of the round of 16 will take place in four hours and will be played against China and Costa Rica.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese team boarded the bus to the Stadio de Recife N'Nambuco, where many Chinese fans gathered around the bus, chanting the names of each player, and the players were waving to the fans through the windows in the car. Due to the large number of people, the bus could not move forward for a while, and later it was under the command of the security personnel to drive to the stadium.

This is the second time that the Chinese team has played at the Pernambuco Stadium, and in the round of the group stage, the Chinese team defeated Greece here, which can barely be regarded as a blessed place for the Chinese team to go to the World Cup.

The air match between the two teams before the game gave this game something more meaningful, and the Chinese media and fans paid a lot of attention, and the same is true for the media and fans in Costa Rica. The stands were filled early, and many fans could not buy tickets, so they had to wait outside the stadium for the arrival of the team. When the bus slowly drove outside the stadium, the fans couldn't help but gather around, although the designated parking lot was not far away, but the bus just couldn't get through.

"Zhang Shujie!

"Li Mu!

"Captain Horse!"

“.…..”

Almost every Chinese player has their own fans, and when they see their idols in the car, the fans tear their throats and shout at them. These fans are wearing red jerseys, because the Chinese team will wear this color jersey to play in the game today.

As was the case when they came, if there were not enough security personnel in the stadium, the Chinese team's bus would probably not be able to park in the parking space for half an hour, and under the protection of the stadium security, the players entered the stadium, went to the locker room to change clothes and then went to the field to warm up.

Behind the goal, Liu Fang is still filming the players of the Chinese team, yesterday Chen Hui told him that the club is very satisfied with his various shooting, which also makes Liu Fang very happy, for such a person who has just graduated from school, it is very good not to be picked out by the old guys, and it is really good to be appreciated.

On the field, Zhang Shujie, who was warming up, was saved by Ma Junqiang with a pick-up shot, but he immediately came over to make up for it and knocked on the goal guarded by Ma Dashuai.

The Costa Rican players moved on the other side of the pitch, and the players of both teams did not look at each other, and practiced on their own. This World Cup is not comparable to the league, everyone knows the importance, not to mention that this is still a knockout match, everyone wants to move their bodies and meet the game in the best condition, where can they take care of others.

After the warm-up, the players went into the locker room. When the Chinese players entered, An Rong and Song Weifeng were already inside.

Everyone came in and sat down according to the order of the jersey number, An Rong said: "I'll talk about tactics first, just like we have been training in the past few days, Navas is a very good goalkeeper, you also know his weaknesses, there are two ways that can be said to be his dead end, but when it comes to the game, it is not necessarily step-by-step, according to the situation, choose the most appropriate way to shoot, you know?"

"Yes!"

"Very well, apart from Navas, you also need to pay attention to Campbell, Ruiz, Adams, and one more person, Bolaños. I almost ignored him, he is actually a hidden core figure, he is used to moving on the left side, Zhao Wenkang, Tang Ling, you have to watch this side. ”

The two said in unison: "Understood, Ann Finger." ”

"Well, I don't have anything to say for the time being, their manager has said that he wants us to 'let the horses come', since he invited us like this, don't be polite in the game, just let the horses go. That's all I have to say. ”

An Rong didn't say much, which formed a strong contrast with Pinto, who has been emphasizing the attacking line of the Chinese team in the locker room, he said: "The Chinese team is a team that is stronger in attack than in defense, and each of their midfielders has strong offensive ability, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, I won't say much, you will not know them less than me." The next few players, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi, Zhao Wenkang, the latter two have goals and assists in the group stage, although Chen Zihua has not scored yet, but he has two assists, his long-range shooting ability and ability to score goals after insertion are very prominent among midfielders, I don't want to see him break his World Cup debut on our team. ”

Pinto talked a lot on and on, and the expression on his face was very serious the whole time, which was completely different from his calmness at the press conference. He said that he was not afraid of the Chinese team, but in fact he was afraid that this was not the case, and what coach would not be afraid of the striker who won the Golden Ball?

Pinto finally said: "At yesterday's press conference, we have formed a bond with the Chinese team, if we can't win, we can only be laughed at by the Chinese media, on the contrary, if they lose, we will also be laughed at, so we must win, we must enter the quarterfinals!"

Pinto's words were resolute, he didn't care that the quarter-finals would be against the Netherlands, and he just wanted to win the game in front of him.

The game was about to start, and Pinto didn't have time for the players to give themselves time. He didn't think he had been talking for long, so why was he going to race?

Pinto didn't say anything more, just waved his hand and said, "Let's all go out, it's going to be a game soon." ”

The team members stood up and walked out one after another. On the other side, the door of the Chinese team's locker room also opened at this moment.
