Chapter 626: Croatia Advances to the Final Four
After Dunga left, Van Marwijk came in full swing.
The Netherlands drew a good draw for this World Cup, and the opponents in the group were not very strong, and the opponents in the first round of the knockout round were also not strong.
However, the good signing has caused him to be criticized by the domestic media, which is related to his pre-match preparation, but also related to his remarks.
His "luck theory" has long been criticized by the Dutch media as incomplete.
A thrilling win over Cameroon in the final game of the group stage, the Dutch media criticized him for abandoning tradition and making Dutch football so "ugly".
A good signing also means that the Netherlands did not come under too much pressure before meeting Brazil. Today's opponent, Brazil, is in the group of death, and has already had a strong conversation in the group stage and advanced to the knockout stage with an undefeated record.
So many people were not optimistic about the Netherlands before the game, but today the Netherlands won this pinnacle matchup, which made Van Marwijk feel a sense of pride.
'We did a very good job today and if it wasn't for our bad luck, we would have scored at least three goals!'
Van Marwijk spoke into the microphone in high spirits and expressed his feelings.
He mentioned the word "luck" again, which made the Dutch journalist's eyelids jump a few times and his face began to redden......
'We did a very good job today in attack and defensively. As for the goal conceded in the opening 10 minutes, I don't think they were at their best at that time. ”
'As the game progressed, they got into the game and they didn't make any more low-level mistakes.
The Dutch boss paused before conceding a goal too early and we were passive, but we got through it and got through that difficult time. ”
"In the next game, we got the game into our rhythm and we created chances after chances!"
"Thank you to the players for everything they put into this game, they are the greatest group of players in my mind!"
There was applause from the audience, and who could say that this Dutch team was not talented?
The corners of the Argentine reporter's mouth twitched, and his face changed several times, and now this Argentina team is also talented, especially the attacking line, which gathers Messi, Milito, Tevez, Aguero, Higuain, Palermo.
Which one of them isn't famous?
Don't rejoice too soon, Van Marwijk, there is only one winner, you haven't really reached the final yet, you haven't won the title yet.
The Argentine reporter sneered a few times in his heart, if you can beat Brazil to reach the semi-finals, we can beat Germany and enter the semi-finals!
……
The news of the Dutch victory over Brazil quickly spread around the world, and Brazil's supporters were grieving and the Dutch supporters rushed to tell each other.
The official FIFA website uses this title: 3-1, the Netherlands wins the summit duel and advances to the semi-finals!
The headline of the French team newspaper is: The Dutch trident is powerful, and Brazil loses 1-3!
The Guardian's headline reads: Chan scores four goals in a row to help the Netherlands win the pinnacle showdown!
The headline of the German newspaper Munich is: Brazil dyes red, loses by two goals, and regrets to leave South Africa!
The headline of the newspaper was: Orange storm swept South Africa, the Netherlands defeated Brazil to advance to the semi-finals!
The headline of the Argentine Cape of Good Hope newspaper reads: Brazil goes home, Netherlands advances to the semi-finals!
The Brazilian media criticized Dunga and the Brazilian team as incomplete, and the Brazilian sports newspaper said: "Dunga's arrogance has made him suffer bitterly. Whether it is in the selection or use of personnel, Brazilian coach Dunga is arrogant and does not listen to other people's opinions at all.
Melo was a controversial player when it came to selecting players, and many people warned Dunga to be cautious, but he did not heed the admonitions, insisting on selecting the midfielder into the Brazilian team and giving him a place in the main team.
Melo on the pitch doesn't look like a Brazilian player, he's full of energy, defensively aggressive, often eats cards, and is not very skilled at his feet.
Prior to his move to Juventus, Melo spent a season with Fiorentina and was recognised for his performances, as well as his selection for Dunga's Brazil national team. However, due to his excessive defensive actions, he received 3 red cards and 17 yellow cards in one season with the Purple Lily!
In the summer of 2009, Melo transferred to Juventus for a total of 25 million euros, and he became the 'target king' of Serie A that season.
However, Melo's performance at Juventus was nowhere near as good as when he was at Fiorentina, and he was named the worst player in Serie A in 2009 by the Italian media at the end of 2009 - the Golden Trash Award!
In such an important and crucial match against the Netherlands, Dunga actually started the time bomb Melo, and the Brazilian was foreshadowed by the defeat.
The 'love general' in Dunga's hands really did not disappoint Dunga, in the second half he almost put himself on an own goal, and then maliciously trampled on Robben, and was directly sent off by the referee with a red card.
Brazil's World Cup in South Africa is over, Dunga should step down, what face does he have to stay in the sacred position of Brazil coach? ”
This is the reality of the football world, Brazil lost, they were criticized by the domestic media as incomplete, while the Netherlands were praised by the whole world.
The Dutch domestic media even praised Van Marwijk to the Tianshan Mountains.
"Chen's change of style of play is one of the highlights of Van Mawijk's dedication to this pinnacle matchup!"
The Dutch Telegraph commented: "It is clear that Dunga and his Brazilian team have not found a solution to this problem, Chen has pierced their defence again and again!
Not only that, but Robben and Robin van Persie both improved their form in this game, and they both scored in this important game.
This fully shows that Van Marwijk not only has a set of defense, but also has a high level of attainment in attack.
Congratulations to the Netherlands for a comprehensive victory in this pinnacle matchup and hope they continue to do so and give us more pride! ”
The Dutch sports newspaper focused on Chen Fan: Obviously, Chen is the focus of the Brazilian backline, but where is Chen who can freeze them.
In the post-match press conference, Brazil's Dunga blurted out 'some players just can't be solved, like Ronaldo, in the '02 World Cup final, didn't Germany know about his threat?' But didn't he score the same two goals in the final? ’
In the eyes of the Brazilian coach, Chen is on par with Ronaldo in the 02 World Cup!
In Dunga's eyes, Chen is incomprehensible!
With four goals in a row, Chen is creating his own World Cup legend, and he is not alone, with Van Persie, Robben and Sneijder standing next to him......
With the support of these strong teammates, his World Cup legend will become more and more brilliant!
Come on, Dutch, behind you stand hundreds of millions of supporters, on your way to the top of the world!
