The Dutch team won and was criticized by the national media, which was very strange in the eyes of many. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The British Guardian analyzed: In fact, this is a struggle between following tradition and innovation, the Netherlands has won the first two games, and the Dutch media and fans have seen the victory of traditional Dutch football, with a gorgeous and smooth attack.

In the final game of the group, Van Marwijk hid a group of main players, especially putting Van Persie and Chen on the bench, which made the attack power sharply reduced.

In this case, Van Marwijk gave the Netherlands a game he had in mind – a return to the offensive and defensive balance.

This balance between attack and defense is based on sacrificing flashy attacks, so the Dutch media and fans are not satisfied.

Change will always be criticized by traditional forces, and there will be strong resistance, and van Marwijk has been torn between following tradition and change, which is very dangerous.

Once the Netherlands had a poor record, he was unpleasing on either side.

Or when Van Persie and Chen come on the field, they can solve the problem of Van Marwijk, the "Dutch Double Brake" attack firepower is strong, and the ability to catch fighters is super strong.

The tacit understanding between them can make the Dutch attack gorgeous!

The two of them were Van Marwijk's lifesavers, earning him praise from the press and fans.

So, the only thing Van Marwijk is looking forward to now is for the two of them to have a healthy body. Of course, we can't forget Robben, who returned from injury before the Netherlands could really fly on both wings.

Against Cameroon, it was he who came off the bench to create the scoring opportunity and saved the Netherlands from an embarrassing draw.

With Arjen Robben returning from injury and Robin van Persie and Chan remaining fit, the Netherlands remain the most attacking team in world football today and are still favourites to win the title.

……

The Netherlands are back in Durban after their match against Cameroon, where their quarter-finals will be played. In the second round of the group, they beat Japan by four goals here.

Who are their opponents?

According to the protocol, the opponent of the Netherlands in the quarterfinals will be the second place in Group F.

Paraguay temporarily topped the group with four points with one win and one draw, Italy and New Zealand ranked second in the group with two draws and two points, and Slovakia was in the worst situation, ranking last in the group with one draw and one loss.

But even if they finish last in the group, they still have a chance to qualify.

As long as they beat Italy in the final round and New Zealand fail to beat Paraguay, they will finish second in the group.

In other words, all four teams in Group F have the possibility of qualifying, as well as the possibility of being eliminated.

Even Paraguay, who are currently number one in the table, will be eliminated if they lose by a big margin at the feet of New Zealand and the other game ends by a big score.

So the final round of the game is a life-and-death battle for the four teams.

The brutal side of the World Cup is on display, and defending champions Italy are in danger of being eliminated.

At the same time, the World Cup provides an opportunity for those who dare to fight, even if you are the champion of the previous edition, as long as you dare to fight, you can pull him down.

At 4 p.m. on the 24th, the two matches were played at the Peter Mocaba Stadium in Paul Guarney and the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg.

At Ellis Park in Johannesburg, Italy will take on Slovakia, with captain Cannavaro continuing to start.

The big focus of the game will be whether the defending champions will repeat the fate of 1950, with the defending champions failing to make it out of the group.

Three defending champions had failed to make it out of the group: Italy in 1950, Brazil in 1966 and France in 2002.

In this game, the silver fox Lippi put midfield master Andrea Pirlo on the bench and discharged a four-three-three attack formation. Judging from the formation, he is bound to win.

Once the game started, both teams appeared to be very proactive.

Slovakia, who were the first to serve, had their first shot on goal in the thirteenth second when Di Natale fired a long-range shot from outside the Italian box that flew over the crossbar.

In the fourth minute, Italy took a quick free kick at the back and launched a quick counterattack with a long pass. Akinta chests back, Di Natale takes the ball and crosses diagonally, Iaquinta quickly turns and drills into the box with a low shot, the ball is wide of the goal!

In the twenty-fifth minute of the first half, the situation on the field changed abruptly!

De Rossi made a shocking pass when no one was pressing at the back - Slovakia midfielder Kuzka broke the ball in front of Montolivo and then made a straight pass!

Slovakian striker Vitek flew forward and fell to the ground on the penalty line and swept with his right foot!

The ball flew past the fingertips of Italian goalkeeper Marchetti and into the net from the bottom left corner of the goal!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

Slovakia, which is in the worst situation, leads by one goal!

The Slovaks see the light of day!

Slovak fans in the stands are in ecstasy, turning the stadium into a world of joy!

The Italian fans watched the stadium in great pain, and their team was making mistakes again......

The defending champions, who were cornered, launched a frantic counter-attack against Slovakia after the restart.

Slovakia used its own body to block the blue offensive frenzy again and again.

Paolo Guani's Peter Mocaba Stadium, Paraguay and New Zealand are battling it out.

Paraguay only need a draw to finish top of the group, so once the game started, they put most of their forces in defence, threatening the opposition goal with long-range shots when attacking.

When the news came that Slovakia were ahead, they were even more determined to fight back - if Slovakia beat Italy did well, Paraguay would only need a draw to top the group!

New Zealand didn't have much to do in the face of Paraguay's dense defense, and the scene was stalemate for a while. Until the end of the first half, neither team broke the deadlock on the field.

At Ellis Park in Johannesburg, the Italians were unable to equalise until the end of the first half, and they could only go into the break with a goal deficit.

Fifteen minutes later, the fateful second half begins!

Italy continued to attack and Slovakia played the Italians' most comfortable defensive counter-attack.

As time went on, the Italians became more and more anxious, and Lippi the silver fox had to be replaced by Pirlo.

However, before Pirlo could play his game, the Slovak dealt another blow to the Italian.

In the 28th minute of the second half, Slovakia got a corner kick opportunity, Hamsik took a corner kick from the right side, Chiellini cleared the ball with a header, and the football flew out of the penalty area.

Slovakia midfielder Hamsik from outside the box pads back in front of goal with the arch of his foot, Vitek grabs in front of Chiellini and smashes a right-footed shot into the near corner from five meters from the goal!

Football hits the net!

The ball is in!

Two to zero!

Slovakia extends its lead!

The defending champions are in a desperate situation!

In the ensuing game, the Italians went berserk, and in the 32nd minute of the second half, Quagliarella cut inside on the right side and cooperated with Iaquinta's kick to the wall, Iaquinta made the ball with his back, and Quagliarella fired a low shot from ten meters in front of the goal!

The football was saved by Slovak goalkeeper Muja!

Di Natale flew up and shot up!

Football hits the net!

One to two!

The Italians close the gap!

After the restart, the Italians came out of the way and rekindled their hopes as the score of the other game was still 0-0 and they had to equalise to finish second in the group!

In the thirty-fifth minute of the second half, Di Natale made a low cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Quagliarella pushed a left-footed shot into the net from four meters in front of the goal!

Just as the Italians were about to cheer, the referee blew a whistle to signal that Quagliarella was offside and the goal was invalid!

The Italians were defence-defended and Slovakia were awarded a throw-in in the 44th minute of the second half.

Pecarrick threw the ball into the touchline from the right, and the newly introduced Koonek cut into the box at high speed, grabbed ahead of Italian goalkeeper Marchetti, and volleyed a right-footed volley nine meters from the goal!

The ball flew over the head of the Italian goalkeeper and into the net!

Three to one!

Slovakia extended their lead to two goals again!

The Italians' hopes of qualifying are dashed and the game is coming to an end and they need to score two goals!
