The next day, the news that the Netherlands had beaten Uruguay to advance to the World Cup final dominated the sports sections of major media outlets.

Chen Fan's shocking goal has become the target of heated discussions in major media, and the French team newspaper believes that "that is the landmark goal of this World Cup!" ”

According to the German newspaper Bild, that goal has surpassed Maradona's goal in the '86 World Cup.

"If Chen has been side by side with Maradona in that long-distance run with Slovakia, then Chen has surpassed Maradona in that goal last night!"

The Dutch Telegraph can't wait to believe that Chen Fan is about to become a new generation of "football king".

"Pele is the first generation of champions, because he helped Brazil win three World Cups in an unprecedented way, a record that is almost unbeatable. Maradona was crowned king in the 86 World Cup, and his title was the long-distance run against England that shocked the world.

Chen scored two goals in the same World Cup that will forever go down in history, and as long as the Netherlands can win the championship in this World Cup, he will be a new generation of football kings! ”

The British Guardian commented: "At that moment, Chan conquered the whole world and became the brightest star in football history!"

With this goal, Chen has already established his place in the history of world football, but it is too early to call him the 'King of the Ball', after all, Chen has just entered the professional league.

The first condition for the title of king is to conquer the world - win the World Cup!

Obviously, it is difficult to say whether the Netherlands will win the title or not, and whether Germany or Spain will advance to the final, both teams will be formidable opponents.

Even if the Netherlands finally gets their wish to win the World Cup, Chen can't be called the 'king of the ball'.

The so-called king of the ball must be the superstar of the entire era, and it is much more difficult for Chen to become the king of the ball in this era than Pele and Maradona, because there are two quasi-king-level superstars in this era, Messi and Ronaldo.

If Chen's ability to surpass Messi and Ronaldo in his future career can justifiably achieve his title of 'King of the Ball'! ”

Another focus of media discussion is Chen Fan's sentence - the world owes the Netherlands a champion.

"The all-attacking and all-defensive tactics are the basis of modern football tactics, and the Netherlands, the creators of this tactic, have made an orange storm by making them famous all over the world for their all-attacking and all-defensive tactics," commented the Milan newspaper Sport.

The Netherlands has reached the final twice before, and it is a pity that the whole world was Dutch in that era.

In fact, at that time, they no longer needed to prove themselves with championships, they were the strongest team in the world at that time.

From this point of view, then the world does owe the Netherlands a title because it is worthy of their contribution to football. ”

Some people think that the reason why Milan Sports said this is because Italy was eliminated early, and the championship has nothing to do with them anyway, and they might as well be generous on the side of the Netherlands.

The Argentine newspaper Cape of Good Hope said: "The world does not owe anyone, the Netherlands has the ability to compete for the title on its own."

The Dutch team in the '74 World Cup is known as the most talented Dutch team in the history of the Netherlands, but competing for the title requires talent and strong will, and this is exactly what the Netherlands lacked, so they reached the final twice and failed twice!

Only the best teams deserve to win the title, and the fact that the Netherlands did not win the title only shows that they are not the best team.

Chen's words can only show that he is not mature, he wants to become a player like Maradona, and there is still a long way to go! ”

In the face of comments from Argentine media, Chen Fan wrote on his social platform: "I will help the Netherlands win the championship!" ”

With the deepening of the World Cup, Qingfeng's social platform has become well-known, and Chen Fan's words on the social platform were quickly exposed by the media.

Dutch fans have left messages on his social platforms to encourage him.

"Use the champion to crush all doubts!"

"Chen, help the Netherlands get the Hercules Cup, you are the king of the ball, you are the god in my heart!"

"Slap those people in the face with the Hercules Cup!"

The Dutch Amsterdam Sports Newspaper said: "Chen's counterattack only used one sentence, which can be described simply and rudely!"

Chen, it's time to make good on your promise, you said before that you wanted to help the Netherlands win the World Cup and fulfill the dream of Dutch footballers, and now it's the last minute.

All you have to do now is get in shape and use your goals in the final to help the Netherlands stand on the top of the podium and stand on top of the world! ”

The British Daily Mail commented: "Chen launched a simple and crude counterattack in the face of some media doubts, of course, whether this counterattack can knock out the opponent depends on the final result." All we have to do is wait for the final! ”

……

In addition to the heated discussion about the Dutch team and Chen Fan, the media focused on the semi-finals between Spain and Germany.

Germany undoubtedly have the upper hand in both World Cup results and the history of the two teams, although Spain beat Germany in the final of the European Championship two years ago.

The Spanish media believe that Spain has a good chance of winning.

"I still remember the final two years ago, when Spain won dominantly. After two years, Spain's style of play is more mature, and with Xavi's form rebounding and Villa's heroic form, it will be quite difficult for Germany to win! ”

"Passing is the magic weapon of Spain's victory, Spain have to keep the football firmly at their feet and then look for a lethal opportunity," said the World Sport newspaper.

As long as Spain defends well from set-pieces, they have a good chance of winning the event! ”

Ace encouraged his team: "The moment has come to make history, Spanish soldiers, show your courage and fighting spirit to turn the semi-final arena into a stage for matadors!" ”

The German media warned their players not to be impatient, with the Munich Zeitung saying: "We don't compete with Spain for possession, we have to be efficient, and we use efficiency to beat Spain."

So, in the game, we must not be impatient and face everything calmly. ”

According to Bild, Germany's key to victory is set-pieces: "We have to take advantage of set-pieces up front and strike a lethal blow, that's the German tradition.

The Netherlands, which has returned to tradition, will have to win all its games, and Germany will have to return to tradition as well. ”

Germany wants to avenge their revenge in the European Championship final two years ago, and fans can't wait to come up with their prediction - Paul the Octopus.

Paul the Octopus from the Oberhausen Aquarium in Germany has successfully predicted the outcome of Germany's victory over Australia, Serbia, Ghana, England and Argentina, all five predictions are correct, maintaining the same 100% shooting percentage after five games as in Euro 08.

But this time Paul predicted a Spanish win!

This made many German fans very depressed, because the success rate of the octopus Paul was extremely high, as high as 91%, so many German fans were disappointed and even threatened to kill Paul and stew it to eat.

However, Paul the Octopus's previous predictions were not 100% on target, and he also made mistakes, which is what German fans want to see.

At Euro 2008, Paul successfully predicted Germany's wins over Poland, Austria, Portugal and Turkey, as well as Croatia's defeat.

In that tournament, Paul had only predicted one game wrong, and that was the European Championship final. At the time, Paul predicted that Germany would win the tournament against Spain, but the end result was that Spain won the title thanks to Fernando Torres' goal.
