The score was hit hard, and the game could no longer maintain its previous advantage, and the morale of the Brazilian team looked more and more low.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, seized the opportunity of weakness and completed the lead in the 68th minute - Robben drove the ball away from a corner, Kuyt nodded in front of him, Sneijder jumped to the top of the box from four yards, and the ball blasted open the goal of Cesar for the second time.

1:2！

The Dutch team completed the reversal of the score strongly, and came from behind, and the promotion situation suddenly opened up!

After taking the lead, the Dutch did not opt for a conservative retraction defence, but continued to keep the Brazilian midfield high pressing.

From leading to falling behind, the mood and morale of the Brazilian players dropped again and again, and bigger blows followed, in the 74th minute, Melo kicked Robben in a row and then very bad Pepan, he was directly shown a red card by the referee and expelled from the field.

Mindset is out of balance!

The Brazilian team has completely collapsed!

In the ensuing game time, the Brazilian team, which played one less player on the field, was difficult to launch a threatening counterattack, and the score of 1:2 was maintained until the end, while most people were optimistic about Brazil's promotion before the game, the Dutch team stubbornly knocked down the opponent and became the first team to advance to the semi-finals in the World Cup in South Africa.

As soon as the game ended, the media made the news public, expressing regret for the exit of the Brazilian team, and the media and fans also sent praise and blessings to the advancing Dutch team, and the most eye-catching was the news of the resignation of the head coach of the Brazilian national team, Dunga, at a press conference.

The legendary captain of the Brazilian team faced the camera with guilt and tears: "I think it's time to say goodbye, I'm proud of my team, they [the players] have done well enough, but football is like that, there are wins and there are defeats, maybe the reason for all this is on me, I'm sorry for that, I didn't live up to the expectations of the fans, so I chose to leave." ”

Dunga was the first coach to announce his departure at this World Cup, and after the news was announced, the newspapers and the Internet were full of sighs, and more people turned their eyes to Mr. Football, who had long since shrunk to where he had shrunk.

"I have to say that for Mr. Ball King's 'crow's mouth', there are only two words that can express our admiration - convinced!"

"Bailey worked tirelessly to prove that his big mouth was not poisonous, but the truth was - he left the whole world speechless!"

"Brazil are out of the tournament – maybe the crow's beak is to blame?"

"There is no doubt that the football king Pele is the biggest 'poisoned milk' on the planet!"

……

The result between Brazil and the Netherlands was definitely in, and another match, played later the same day, was soon in the picture.

If the duel between the Samba Army and the Tulip Country is a fierce battle like Mars hitting the earth, then the match between the only remaining Ghana team and the South American powerhouse on the African continent is as bland as a glass of boiled water.

As a result, the two teams played to a 0:0 draw in 90 minutes, and there was no achievement in extra time, and finally the winner was determined by penalty shootout, Uruguay had the last laugh 5:3 in the penalty shootout, becoming the second team to qualify for the semi-finals of this World Cup.

At this point, the two matches of this day's match day are all over, and the Netherlands team in Europe and Uruguay in South America have advanced to the semi-finals!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A day later, the second match of the quarterfinals arrived as scheduled.

The clash between Spain and Paraguay will be the first match of the day, kicking off at 5pm at the Liberty City Stadium in Johannesburg. The other match between Germany and Argentina will start at six o'clock.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a bus carrying all the Spanish staff drove into the stadium. Like the first time in the group stage, Spain's arrival attracted a lot of attention from the surrounding fans and journalists, and the spotlights flickered incessantly.

It's just different from before, before, as the favorite to win the World Cup, reporters wanted to get first-hand interviews and reports of the stars up close, but at this moment, the focus is different, and reporters are more about "infighting".

"Igor! Over here! It is said that the Spanish team has clashed violently in training before, can you tell us a little bit about that? ”

"Fernando, what do you think of this fight? After the infighting within the squad, will the players still have the energy to cope with this game? ”

"Fan, it is said that you caused the clash within the team? If Spain loses and are eliminated from the tournament, do you think you are to blame for this? ”

“……”

One embarrassing question after another was like a series of cannonballs, constantly harassing the players of the Spanish team, but no one was interviewed, and no one chose to stay, everyone was silent, and walked quickly into the stadium with a cold face.

……

At the pre-match press conference, the Spanish coach was once again "harassed" by reporters, and after several attempts to divert the topic to no avail, Bosque simply kept a calm face and did not say a word.

Bosque's mood is obviously extremely unhappy, and the opponent of this game, Paraguay's head coach Martino, seems to add another fuel to this unhappy mood.

"Spain are a great team, they are very strong, they have a lot of good players, their football is like a work of art, it's addictive.

But I would say that we're not bad, we've beaten them all the way and we've come to this point, so we're not going to give up, we've got to beat them and go further. My lads and I are confident about that.

I know they're not doing well lately and there's a lot of rumours out there about them and this is our chance. I'm sure after 90 minutes, we'll be the winner with the biggest smile! ”

It's normal to show confidence before the game, but Martino's chicken thief is that he doesn't shy away from taking out the scandal that has entangled the Spanish team, such a move is tantamount to rubbing salt on the wound, of course, this is also Martino's "insidious", he just wants to stimulate Bosque, that is, to stimulate the Spanish team, a calm opponent and an opponent who is provoked and loses his mind, obviously, the latter is easier to deal with.

And his purpose was achieved.

Although he kept admonishing himself to restrain himself, Martino's continuous remarks of "elevating himself and hitting his opponent" still stung him, and Bosque snorted coldly and left the court directly.

The reporters snapped the shutter to record Bosque's frustration, while Martino chuckled lowly.

……

In Spain's dressing room, the players watched the press conference on a TV hung in the room. This made many players angry and scolded one after another.

"This old guy is a bastard!"

"What does he want to do? Is he laughing at us? Or is it hitting us? Damn, he's embarrassing us! ”

"They're not in a good situation, and in 90 minutes we'll be the winners—ha, that's a lot of confidence! But...... Is it just them? ”

"This guy is really insidious! Grasping the events of the past few days to strike at us, is this to take advantage of our weakness to take a bite...... Hehe, the facts will teach him the truth of being a man, even if we are in a bad situation, we are not a cat or a dog who can come up and show off their might! ”

Martino's remarks at the press conference were almost undisguised provocation and ridicule, which made the Spanish players' emotions immediately provoked, and they were all angry.

In this respect, Martino's "strategy" was a success, and he got what he wanted, stirring up the anger of the Spanish players.

It's just that it is not clear whether such sentiments are good or bad for Paraguay.

But perhaps in Martino's view, the pros outweigh the cons. Judging from the comparison of the hard power of the two sides, the Spanish team, the favorite to win the championship, undoubtedly has a higher qualification advantage than Paraguay, and his team wants to go head-to-head with Spain, and the chance of being eliminated is definitely greater. So he can only think of some off-the-board moves, and the "internal strife incident" exposed by Spain this time is obviously a good "weakness", so Martino did not hesitate to use the topic to play - football matches are like a war, and in war, it is normal to use psychological warfare to hit the opponent.

In the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Fan Bizhuang's face was also very ugly, in fact, he could think that Martino's approach was deliberate, but the provocation was real, even if he knew the other party's "sinister intentions", but his teammates couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts.

That's where the frustration comes in. knew that the other party was deliberately finding fault, the purpose was to provoke himself, but he just couldn't do it, and nothing had happened.

"What an old fox!"

Fan Bizhuang shook his head, but his fists were clenched, but his eyes flashed with anger and determination.

Since the opponent is deliberately provocative, then, well, you succeeded, then everything will be known in the game, see if your psychological warfare is more effective, or, the angry Spanish team, will break your provocation with one punch!

……

At 4:30 a.m., the packed Liberty City Stadium erupted in loud cheers, and the two teams finally stepped onto the pitch amid the excited shouts of tens of thousands of fans.
