With the final four coming out, the World Cup in South Africa has come to a close, and the competition will become more and more intense, and no one wants to fall outside the door of the final.

The Netherlands travel to Cape Town after their match against Brazil, where they will face Uruguay in the semi-finals at the Green Point Stadium.

Before the start of the World Cup in South Africa, Van Marwijk was questioned and criticized by the domestic media, and one of the main reasons was that they played very poorly in the warm-up match against Uruguay, and at one point fell behind by two goals.

If it weren't for Chen Fan coming off the bench to activate the striker, that warm-up game would have been likely to lose.

Who would have thought that a little more than a month later, they would meet in the semi-finals of the World Cup.

After the quarter-finals, the four teams had four days to recuperate, and the Netherlands arrived in Cape Town and immediately began training.

Van Marwijk will certainly be hoping to beat Uruguay cleanly in the semi-finals to reach the final.

The World Cup has reached this point, and there are no secrets for each team, and the state and ability of players in various positions are fully displayed, and there is no such thing as a "secret weapon".

The outcome of the game depends mainly on the strength of both sides, as well as the state of the game, as for the tactics......

Where else is there any miracle trick.

But Van Marwijk surprised people by allowing Chen Fan to change his breakthrough route in the match against Brazil, and it worked wonders.

This was widely praised by the world media after the game, and the French team newspaper said that it was a big reason for the Netherlands to open up the attack.

On a training turf in Cape Town's east zone, Uruguay coach Tabarez is on the sidelines, yelling at his defenders.

On the pitch, Suarez was carrying the football from the wing to the middle, and the defenders were flanking him. The Uruguayan striker pushes the ball forward, and the ball flies between the two!

Suarez made his way between the two men with a strong grip on the ball just as centre-back Lugano stole the ball.

This was a beautiful defense, but it didn't make Tabares very satisfied, he yelled at Lugano: "Faster, Chen is faster than Luis, if it is Chen this time, he has a good chance of controlling the football!" ”

Suarez almost vomited a mouthful of blood, and Luis passed the football to his teammates in front of him with a disapproving mouthful of disapproval, thinking to himself: I know Chen is very fast, and I have fought against him, but how fast can he be faster than Bolt?

Coach, you think too much of him......

The phrase that Uruguayan defenders have heard the most these days is: "If this ball is Chen, how do you defend it?" How do you move? ”

At first, they thought about it very seriously, but later they became numb and even disgusted.

The coach, Chen, is also a human being, and that goal in that game against Slovakia required a lot of coincidences, how could he have scored that kind of goal at any time.

Tabarez ignored that and continued to yell at his defenders.

On a piece of turf more than ten kilometers away, the Dutch players were also training, and Van Marwijk called Chen Fan to the sidelines: "The change in the last game, Uruguay will definitely make a targeted defense, you have to think more about how to deal with it." ”

Chen Fan said with a smile: "Coach, don't worry, everyone knows what Ronaldo is going to do after he gets the ball, but how many people can stop him?" ”

Looking at the bright smile on the face of the confident Aijun, Van Marwijk was angry and relieved.

He wanted to euphemistically stimulate Chen Fan and remind him not to be blindly optimistic, but he found that he couldn't say it at all.

Four games in a row, nine goals in four games, and not only that, but one of the nine goals is comparable to that of Maradona in the '86 World Cup......

What can he say in this case?

'You have to be mentally prepared, I could have you play in the back.'

Van Marwijk patted him on the shoulder and said: "In the semi-finals, I will let you play as a striker first, and in the second half I will probably let you play in the midfield. ”

The smile on Chen Fan's face froze, which made Van Marwijk feel a strange feeling in his heart, which brought him a hint of refreshment, a hint of happiness.

'With us up the scoreline, I'll let you play in the back and strengthen the defence, and the win comes first.

Looking at the somewhat depressed general, Van Marwijk said with a smile: "Who told you to prevent Messi from having no chance to shoot...... Hahaha...... Hahaha......"

Chen Fan exhaled a long breath, his face returned to normal, nodded and said, "Okay, coach, I will follow your arrangement." ”

Van Marwijk's laughter came to an abrupt end, and he was devastated.

"Damn, shouldn't you bargain with me?"

Van Marwijk laughed and scolded: "Your attitude and your current ...... status, very incompatible. ”

Chen Fan hurriedly said: "Coach, if I score, you can let me play in the back again." At that point, I'll be in the back position! ”

Van Marwijk realized that he had underestimated his beloved general, damn it, you had been waiting for me to say that......

"Don't even think about it!"

The Dutch boss said: "Unless you score in the first half, you don't ...... You're in the back of the second half! ”

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you have confidence in yourself?" ”

Chen Fan's mouth was open, and he couldn't speak for a long time, which made Van Marwijk laugh happily again.

"Coach, this is the World Cup, this is the semi-finals of the World Cup, do I want to score in the first half, I can score in the first half? You're underestimating your opponents......"

Chen Fan lamented: "In the first half, everyone's physical fitness was very sufficient, and it was not so easy to tear apart the opponent's defense, or ...... How about you let me play as a midfielder in the first half and as a striker in the second half? ”

Van Marwijk's eyes lit up, it was a good idea, but it was ......

After a moment of contemplation, the Dutch boss said: "You allow me to think about it......"

……

Emel will be in London, her vacation has expired and she is going back to work. However, Emily told Chen that on the day of the semi-final match, she would definitely show up at the Green Point Stadium to cheer him on.

Chen Fan reluctantly sent her to the plane at the airport, watching his lover leave, he was a little lost, and even wanted to say loudly to her, Amil, let's quit that job, I can afford to support you now.

But he couldn't say that Emil didn't work to make money, but to reflect his own value and live his own style.

To give up the foundation laid in Holland and for him to come to London, Emel had already done so much for him, and where else could he ask of her.

To love her is to support her.

Chen Fan attaches great importance to their relationship, and cherishes this relationship very much, and Emmel is the other half of his life.
