With the end of the fourth 2014 Brazil World Cup quarterfinals between the Netherlands and Costa Rica, all four teams that advanced to the semifinals were released, and the two semi-finals teams were China VS Brazil and Argentina VS Netherlands.

As expected, the four teams that advanced to the semi-finals were all strong teams, especially the semi-finals between China and Brazil, which attracted much attention.

Of course, it's not that the semi-finals between Argentina and the Netherlands aren't important, it's just that China and Brazil, who are in the semi-finals for the first time, are more crucial, and China beat Brazil on Brazilian soil in the Confederations Cup a year ago, and the media who follow the World Cup want to see if this match will be different from last year's game.

Brazil is the team with the most titles in World Cup history, winning five titles, while China is the first to enter the semi-finals after breaking through the results of the last World Cup in South Africa, which is the best period to win the championship.

Ailuo, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin, Wu Xi, Feng Xiaoting and others are basically at the peak of their careers, plus they are now recognized by the media as the most championship-looking team, but the semi-final experience of the World Cup is equal to zero, and some points have been picked up.

As a result, the semi-final between Brazil and China, which is already missing Neymar and Thiago Silva, is likely to be evenly matched......

Experience is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it is very important for the football game, and Brazil coach Scolari led the Brazilian team to win the World Cup 12 years ago, and he is full of experience and experience, which the current Chinese team does not have.

Fortunately, the Chinese team has a top star like Iroh, and many times he can rely on his super personal ability to change the situation and make a final decision.

Since the beginning of this World Cup, Iroh has become the brightest star, and there is no one.

During this time, the Chinese media was the most active group.

And the fans of the Chinese team are not to be outdone, and on Brazilian soil, they occupy one street after another very strongly.

As the Chinese team entered the semi-finals, more and more fans chose to go to Brazil to watch the game live, so the semi-final tickets of the Chinese team and the Brazilian team were naturally speculated to sky-high prices, but they were still priceless.

They all know that the significance of this game is very huge, because it is only once in a lifetime that the Chinese team enters the semi-finals of the World Cup, so even if they spend all their financial resources, they are to grab a ticket for a game.

It's just that there are only so many tickets, and there are too many fans who need tickets......

At this time, the advantage of fans who join the national fan association 'Dragons' is reflected, as they can get priority tickets.

However, there are a lot of smart fans who are not looking at the semi-finals, but the World Cup final at the Maracanã Stadium.

However, there are also some more conservative and pessimistic fans who buy tickets for the third and fourth place games......

It's just that these fans are only a minority, and more die-hard fans choose tickets for the finals.

After the final quarter-final match between the Netherlands and Costa Rica, the four teams that reached the semi-finals had three days off.

It may be a good rest day for the players, but not for the managers of the four teams, who need to tailor their technical and tactical play for the upcoming games, especially the Brazilian coach Scolari.

The absence of captain Thiago Silva and Neymar has taken Brazil's overall strength down a notch, and David Luiz has to be paired with a solid partner because of his but not often nerves, for which he has to choose Dante, who plays for Bayern Munich.

It's just that this choice is not optimal, because Dante's turning speed is too slow, and if the back is broken through, the one-on-one face of Iello will definitely cause the possibility of conceding the ball.

Coupled with the fact that Iroh is very mobile, it is difficult to limit death, and without captain Thiago Silva to dominate the entire backline, if he is not careful, he will most likely be beaten into a sieve.

However, what Scolari didn't expect was the result that happened in his head, but it did happen in the next game......

Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Although Brazil lacked Thiago Silva and Neymar in the next semi-finals, Guardiola still did not take it lightly and devoted himself wholeheartedly to adjusting the lineup.

Because the Chinese team will also be absent from two key players in the semi-finals with Brazil, but the impact is not as great as Brazil.

In addition, the game reached the semi-finals, and no one dared to take it lightly, otherwise the previous achievements would be wasted.

There have been countless unpredictable matches in world football, and Guardiola knows this very well.

Meanwhile, Dutch coach Louis van Gaal and Argentina coach Savilla are also preparing for the upcoming semi-finals, which look a bit of a tie compared to the clear situation in China and Brazil.

After a short day of rest, the last four teams all chose recovery training, especially the Dutch team, which played 120 minutes against Costa Rica in the quarter-finals, Van Gaal even canceled the technical and tactical training and changed all to recovery training.

Sufficient physical fitness is the only guarantee for the smooth progress of the game.

The Chinese team's opponent in the semi-finals was Brazil, so it was destined that their preparations could not go smoothly.

Football is not about life and death, but it is more important than life and death, this sentence was vividly reflected in the semi-finals, Brazil lost Neymar and Thiago Silva in the semi-finals, and the strength was greatly reduced, so Brazilian fans looked for another way to try to harass the Chinese team to prepare for the game and add weight to the national team's victory.

It's just that Guardiola has been prepared on the eve of the preparations, anyway, the preparations of the Chinese team are all restorative training, and the style of play has long been formed, and there are not many places that need to be run-in.

What's more, captain Iroh is in hot form, which already means winning most of the game.

The day before the game, Scolari still didn't think of a targeted tactic, and finally gritted his teeth and chose to open a gap on the wing.

He believes that Wu Xi's absence will definitely make the Chinese team have a big problem in the midfield, and Zhang Linpeng's absence will make the Chinese team's right side attack have greatly declined.

Thinking of this, Scolari decided to let Bernard, who has more technical attacking ability at his feet, replace Willian, who plays for Chelsea, and let him open gaps on the flanks and create enough chances to score!
