Portugal vs Croatia.

China vs Belgium.

The defending champions and three other teams who have never had a world champion have reached the last four of the World Cup.

All three teams have only been past the semi-finals and have not played in the World Cup final, and their fans are even crazier than those of the Chinese team.

Belgian fans are expecting the team to beat China and qualify for the final for the first time.

There are many powerful players in the team, Hazard, De Bruyne, Witsel and Lukaku are all top in the world.

The players are also very confident.

"We beat Brazil, and of course we can beat China."

Tintin is confident and showed his ambition in an interview with The Times.

"We are resolute. I know Dong is terrible, but we won't repeat the mistakes of the French team. ”

Belgium are the second team to reach the last four and have been hailed as the golden generation of the Red Devils at this World Cup, boasting the likes of Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Witsel, Vincent Kompany and Thibaut Courtois. In the first round of the group stage, they defeated Panama 3-0, then beat Tunisia 5-2, and defeated England 1-0 in the third game to reach the top half of the death zone. Then defeated Japan 3:2 and defeated Neymar's Brazil 2:1 to reach the semifinals.

The forward line of Chelsea's thigh Eden Hazard, Manchester United's dominant Lukaku and Manchester City's midfield core Kevin De Bruyne is regarded as the most terrifying forward combination of this World Cup.

Belgium is currently ranked 3rd in the world and 2nd in Europe. Including the two victories in this tournament, Belgium are unbeaten in 21 consecutive matches in all competitions, the longest unbeaten run in team history.

They play in a 343 style of play and the two midfielders, Witsel and Kevin De Bruyne, will play a decisive role in the team's prospects. Using a defensive counterattack strategy, the Chinese team's defense will likely suffer a bigger blow, and its concise, fast and precise strikes are amazing.

On the offensive side, the Chinese team should play speed, quickly impact the Belgian penalty area, and prevent the Belgians from launching a defensive formation, and on the defensive end, in the midfield, they should slow down the speed of the Belgians and prevent the Belgians from playing a quick counterattack.

Both teams have the same strengths, but from the perspective of this World Cup, the Belgian team still has obvious weaknesses, such as the almost loss against players like Japan.

In the face of Belgium's strong attacking firepower, the first task of the Chinese team is estimated to be a solid defense and waiting for opportunities to counterattack. If the forward line is unable to open up the situation for a long time, and one cannot defend the first goal by the Belgian team, it will be difficult to play. So, it's a game that's no less than the French team.

Of course, Belgium also has hidden dangers, in the last game against Brazil, Belgium's main defender Meunier received a yellow card in the 70th minute, and the semi-final against China will be suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards. It's not about how strong the player is, but his place in the Belgian team is not perfectly replaced for the time being.

Judging from the handicap, there are a total of four teams, China 3 times the odds, Belgium 3.75, it can be said that they are evenly matched.

Krauchen returned to the training ground, but not as a manager, but only to boost morale and visit the players.

The complexion looks much better. Everyone was happy.

The Chinese team did not train with a large amount of exercise, but studied tactics against Belgium.

Sometimes Crawford admires Dong Fangzhuo, because Dong Fangzhuo's research is more in-depth, and he seems to know each player quite well.

"This guy must be guarded by two people, at any time!"

He pointed to Lukaku's name.

Everyone knows the power of the little monster, and one person will definitely not be able to stare at him.

"In this game, don't come up and assist easily."

"Except for corners."

"Tintin,"

"Leave it to me." He took De Bruyne into his own hands.

'But you have to watch out for his passes and through balls, he's very difficult to defend.

"Hazar," he said, glancing at Hao Junmin and Wang Gang.

"He's not going to stop breaking through, in 90 minutes."

Belgium is really on the same level as France, and the individual ability is not below France, the team is more mature, and the players are too.

It's a headache.

"If we can win against France, we can win against Belgium. We have proven that we can beat any team! ”

"Champion!"

"We're going to get past Belgium and get to the final, don't doubt yourself!"

"Even if Maradona is in front of us, we have to step on it!"
