Olivia is not alone in having faith in the Brazilian national team.

In fact, the whole of Brazil is in a frenzy for football.

In the streets, children are playing the role of heroes: "I'm Ricardo!" "No, I'm Ricardo, you're Kaka!"

In the street tavern, fans drank beer, discussed the gains and losses of previous battles, and looked forward to the next game.

“3：0！ I said we could win 3:0! An alcoholic who knocked out his front tooth while drunk counted three fingers, "Dutch, nothing, Sneijder, nothing, Van Persie, nothing." We have Ricardo! We have Ronaldo! We've got Kaka! One person into one, exactly 3:0! ”

Uncle Paul's tonnage increased again, and he buried himself in the bubbles of the beer, and his glass of beer was halfway down. Raising his head and wiping the foam from his mouth, he said, "The top scorer should be Ricardo." He has scored six goals in four games, and only three goals have been scored in second place. With three games to go, and while 13 goals are out of the question, it's entirely possible that he could break Ronaldo's record of eight goals. ”

"I think Ricardo should be positioned more forward, with Baptista defending on the left and freeing up Ricardo's attacking ability," this is a fan wearing a cap and thinking he is a master tactician, "and on the right side, Rico should lean more into the middle to get McCone to get the assist so that we can fly on both wings." Hey, in fact, Marcelo should be called into the national team, Marcelo's offensive ability is much stronger than Bastos. ”

The crowd was full of the atmosphere of changing music, and everyone was full of confidence. To this Brazilian team, to Ricardo.

Four years ago, Ronaldo was injured, and he was called upon to lead the team all the way to the final, and finally lost to Italy on penalties. That's providence. Providence injured Ricardo, Kaka and Emerson, and Providence allowed Adriano's penalty to hit the crossbar.

This time, Ricardo is more mature, and every Brazilian believes that he can make his dream come true – the six-star dream.

In the future, there will be seven-star dreams and eight-star dreams...... It's all on him. Who called him Ricardo?

With Japan's penalty defeat to Paraguay, Villa's goal gave Spain a victory over Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo, ending all eighths of the finals.

After two days of rest, the quarterfinals officially began.

The first match of the quarterfinals is the Netherlands vs. Brazil.

Brazil and the Netherlands have met 9 times in their history, with Brazil holding a slight advantage with 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses.

In the last two World Cup meetings, Brazil won one and drew one.

Fans of a bit of age will surely remember these two fights vividly, as both of them were like Mars hitting Earth, with deadly tulips versus fiery samba.

In the quarterfinals of the 94 World Cup, relying on Blanco's free kick, the Brazilian team passed 3:2 in a thrilling way.

In the semi-finals of the '98 World Cup, Ronaldo opened the scoring and Kluivert, who was hailed as Basten's successor, equalised. Davies and De Boer hit Ronaldo hard and the two sides drew in 120 minutes, and the Brazilians had the last laugh when they exchanged penalties.

The two teams can't say that they have a lot of grievances, and their emotions are not antagonistic to each other, but one is a five-star king and the other is an uncrowned king, and they still have a lot to say when they meet.

Ricardo expressed his respect for the Netherlands: "There are a lot of talented players in the Netherlands, I've worked with Arjen Robben, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Huntelaar, they are all very dangerous and we can't let up in the game. ”

Romario also said in an interview: "Never take the Dutch lightly. They're one of the toughest opponents I've ever faced. ”

Sneijder shouted in the air: "I have already lost to Licardo once this year, losing an important title to him. I don't want to lose again this time. ”

Robben said: "I lost to him twice this year. No, not just losing, but being humiliated. If there's anyone with the most thirst for revenge, it's me. ”

Van der Vaart said: "I'm looking forward to playing and it's going to be a great feeling to play against Ricardo. I used to train with him every day as a team-mate, he was born for football and he was always passionate and inspired on the pitch. Seeing what he did in training, I thought to myself, oh my God, I'm never going to be better than him, no matter how hard I try. He's a respectable opponent and the best player in the world at the moment. If I can beat him with my teammates, it must be quite a special feeling. ”

The coaches of both sides were amicable at the press conference before the game, and there were no verbal clashes or-for-tat exchanges.

Dunga complimented: "Van Marwijk did a great job and the Dutch team was unprecedentedly united and showed a high level of fighting power. ”

Van Marwijk reciprocated: "Since Dunga led the team, Brazil have only lost one or two games in regular matches. This is a remarkable achievement. A lot of people think it's due to the quality of the players in the Brazilian team, but I would say they underestimated Dunga's contribution. ”

On July 2, the game was about to start.

Players from both sides passed through the players' tunnel one after another and walked onto the field.

Brazil's Ronaldo stayed at the end, walking side by side with Dunga, talking and laughing.

Dunga was the captain when Brazil won the title in '94, and Ronaldo was the youngest player in the team, having just started his career and had never played in an official match for the Brazilian national team.

Sixteen years on, Dunga has become the head coach of the Brazilian national team; Ronaldo is the player with the most caps for his national team, this is his fifth World Cup tour, his career has come to an end, and he needs a World Cup to end his international career.

He has publicly stated that he will retire from the national team after this World Cup.

One in 1994, one in 2002, one in 2010, a total of 3 titles, just in time for the number of World Cup titles won by Pele, how good. His childhood dream was to win three World Cups.

Of course, Brazil will have to win this year. Because he can't wait until 4 years later.

The commentator is announcing the starting lists of both sides. The Netherlands made just one change from their last win over Slovakia, with Oyer replacing the injured Mathieson. They lined up in a 4231 formation, with goalkeeper Stekelenberg and defenders Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Oyer, and Van Bronckhorst. Frenkie de Jong and Van Bommel in central midfield, Sneijder in front, Robben on the right, Kuyt on the left, and Robin van Persie in front.

The Brazilian team has not made many changes, the formation is still 4231, goalkeeper Cesar, defenders McConn, Lucio, Thiago. Silva, Bastos, midfielders Ramirez and Baptista, the front four unchanged, still Ronaldo leads the attack, followed by Ricardo, Kaka and Rico.
