At eight o'clock, the players from both sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the final match.

The Spanish dressing room is in full swing and tonight they are going to achieve their highest glory, to become the eighth world champion, to put Spanish football on top of the world and look down on the whole world.

After announcing the starting line-up, veteran coach Bosque said: "Boys, you have proven yourself in Europe, and now we have to prove ourselves in the World Cup, to prove that Spain is a worthy champion, to prove that Spanish football is the best team in the world today!" ”

The players nodded their heads as they had proven themselves in both the Champions League and the European Championships, with Barcelona achieving an unprecedented six crowns and Spain winning the European Championship two years ago.

Then they are only one World Cup winner away from achieving a Grand Slam and achieving the supreme glory of their football career.

"I only have one requirement in the attack, and that is to be patient!"

The Spanish coach became serious when talking about strategy and tactics: "In defense, we have to avoid fighting alone, and we must use methods such as encirclement to defuse the opponent's offensive. ”

'Everyone knows that the Netherlands have two very fast wingers, so let's not leave them with space behind them.

At this point, Bosque turned his gaze to Puyol: "You have a very heavy task tonight, and you have to take on the role of a scavenger. ”

Puyol nodded.

The Spanish coach shifted his gaze to the two full-backs: "Do everything you can, you can't let them run anyway, you can't let them cut in!" ”

Ramos and Capdevilla nodded.

Then the Spanish coach explained to several players in the midfield, asking them to pay attention to the help defense, which made Pique very unhappy, and he was completely ignored by Bosque......

"Gerard ......"

Bosque finally turned his attention to Pique, much to Pique's chagrin.

"Forget the grievances and grievances with Chen, calm down and play this game well."

Pique's mouth opened wide, coach, what are you talking about......

I......

Peake was rather depressed.

……

The Dutch dressing room, full of tension and anticipation, is now one step away from the Hercules Cup and one step away from realizing the dreams of countless Dutch footballers.

In this case, they are both nervous and full of anticipation.

Van Marwijk looked at his players after announcing his starting XI and said: "I know everyone is in the same mood as me, nervous and full of anticipation......

"It's a World Cup final and not everyone has the opportunity to step into this arena in their lifetime, so we should be proud!"

"However, there is only one ...... for the winner"

The atmosphere in the dressing room has become solemn, and if the Netherlands fail to win the title this time, then they will be firmly seated in the title of "uncrowned king".

This title is like a curse, and it has disappointed the Netherlands in the World Cup finals time and time again.

Chen Fan's sentence "The world owes the Netherlands a World Cup champion" speaks to the hearts of many Dutch people, who really need a Hercules Cup to justify their name.

Van Marwijk exhaled a long breath and his voice suddenly raised: "I hope we are the ultimate victors!" ”

The locker room is quiet and you can hear the needle dropping!

Van Bommel broke the silence and exclaimed, "That's right, we're going to be the ultimate winner!" ”

Van Persie nodded and said: "The fans have been waiting for too long, we can't let them keep waiting!" ”

The players nodded their heads.

Van Marwijk breathed a sigh of relief and said: "So, let's lay out our tactics now, we can't be too polite to Spain when defending, and one of the important reasons why Germany was crushed by them was that the Germans didn't disrupt their fluid passing ......"

……

At this moment, the reporters have already got the starting lineups of both sides, and both teams have chosen a 4231 formation.

Spain starting line-up:

Goalkeepers: Casillas; Four defenders: Ramos, Pique, Puyol, Capdevilla; Two midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Xavi Alonso; Three attacking midfielders: Iniesta, Xavi, Pedro; The only striker: Villa.

Spain coach Sergio Bosque retained the same line-up that won over Germany in the semi-finals.

Netherlands starting line-up: Stekelenburg; Four defenders: Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Mathiesen, Van Bronckhorst, two midfielders: Van Bommel and De Jong; Three attacking midfielders: Robben, Sneijder, Chen Fan; The only striker: Robin van Persie.

Van Marwijk made two changes to the starting line-up, with Van de Wiel and Frenkie de Jong returning to the starting line-up.

The Dutch coach chose the tougher De Jong and gave up De Zingou, who started the last game, for a self-evident purpose.

These two starting lists did not cause a heated discussion among reporters, and they were similar to what they predicted, and there were no secrets at all for each team to speak of so far in the game, and the state of the players was also clear at a glance.

The fans in the stands took advantage of the rare opportunity to talk about it, and the Spanish fans were very confident in their team.

"The Germans did a great job, they really took good care of the neighbor, and I fell in love with the Germans......"

"That's right, even the predictor 'Paul' thinks we're going to win, and who else can stop us! I love this German octopus to death......"

"Do you predict who will be the Terminator? I guess it's Villa, he's scored five goals......"

"I think it's Puyol, that header from the last game was so beautiful!"

"I think it's Iniesta, Xiaobai's ability to catch opportunities is very strong!"

On the other side, the place where Dutch fans gathered was also hotly discussed, and the players of the Enough Athletic Team who got tickets to enter the stadium did not know how to describe their mood at the moment.

"It's my first time in a World Cup final, and it's a feeling of pride and nerve! ”

Luis said with a smile: "You want to stand in the World Cup final for the second time, but unfortunately you can't walk the last time...... Hahaha......"

Carter focused on the upcoming match: "I'm very optimistic about Chen, he's going to score tonight!" ”

Luis said of course: "Of course, let's guess how he will score, single-handedly?" Pick-and-shoot? Kick? Burst? ”

Carter raised his eyebrows and said, "I like cumshot!" That's the most manly way to shoot! ”

Bald Jack said: "Free kicks, I think Chen will knock on the door of victory with free kicks. Spain will certainly be under siege tonight, and in such circumstances it will be difficult for him to get a shot on goal, and a free-kick is the only option for him to score. ”

Luis disagrees: "Where can the Spanish defence limit Chen, he has already staged two long-distance runs in this World Cup, can't he do it again?" ”

Bald Jack shook his head and said: "Because of this, it is basically impossible for him to have such a chance tonight, Spain will definitely commit a tactical foul in advance, so I said that a free kick is the best choice for him to score." ”

The players of the Enough Athletic Team thought about it and nodded thoughtfully, Luis blushed and said unconvincedly: "I believe Chen, he can definitely score goals through positional attacks!" ”

Bald Jack patted him on the shoulder and said, "As long as Chen scores, why should we care about how he scores." ”
