Before the game, the players on both sides were confident that their teams would be able to win.

Fans of their respective teams are also full of confidence in their teams, and several Dutch fans interviewed on CCTV immediately said that their Dutch national team will defeat all opponents, advance to the final and win the final championship.

The fans of the Dutch national team are very confident, and they organized a lot of fans to watch the game before the game, cheering for their team and preparing to celebrate the victory.

The match was played at the Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

The stadium is very familiar to the Portuguese national team, as their first World Cup match was played in this stadium, when they drew 1-1 with the Ivory Coast national team.

Therefore, this stadium can be said to be the home stadium for the Portuguese national team, after all, the German team walked out of here to enter the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

The Dutch national team is visiting this stadium for the first time, and the local fans naturally support the Portuguese national team.

Therefore, there are obviously more fans supporting the Portuguese national team at the scene. However, there are also a lot of fans of the Dutch national team, and the entire stadium is filled up in an instant, and there is no room for one more person.

The Portuguese national team bus has been on site for some time now, and the players of the Portuguese national team have been warming up in the stadium. The players of the Dutch national team also showed up and did a simple warm-up in the stadium.

The fans of both sides immediately cheered for both teams with scorching cheers, and at the same time they couldn't wait for the game.

"Hello everyone, this is CCTV Sports Channel. I'm Duan Xuan, and next to me is the familiar Xu Yangxu Guide," Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, began his opening remarks.

"Audience friends, fans and friends, hello everyone, we are Xu Yang, I am very happy to be able to meet you here again, watch and chat with everyone, very happy." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"Today's match for you is the first match of the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, against the Portuguese national team and the Netherlands. Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"These two teams can be said to be enemies, and the Portuguese national team can be regarded as a bitter master for the Dutch national team, the last World Cup, the Dutch team was eliminated by the Portuguese national team, so they missed the semi-finals." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said immediately.

"And in the historical record, the Portuguese national team has an absolute advantage, before the game the Dutch said that they are here for revenge in this game, they will be able to defeat the Portuguese national team, in order to avenge the elimination of the last World Cup." Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"Okay, by this time, the players from both sides have gone back to the dressing room to listen to the manager's final tactical arrangements before the game, let's watch an advertisement, and after the advertisement, we will bring you this regular game." Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

In the dressing room of the Portuguese national team, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Paulo Bento, was writing and drawing on the tactical board, and then kept instilling the tactics of this game for the players of the Portuguese national team, and it was clear that he took this game very seriously.

Of course, the Portuguese national team is aiming to win the World Cup, and at this time, they have to beat the Dutch national team, and Paulo Bento must take it seriously.

The Dutch national team is still attacking and defending all-in, which will definitely put a lot of pressure on the Portuguese national team's backline. However, Paulo Bento still proposed to strengthen the attack and use the attack to push the Dutch national team back.

Paulo Bento is very confident in his attacking ability, and in his opinion, there is no team in this World Cup that can compete with the attacking power of the Portuguese national team, and their Portuguese national team has the strongest attacking power.

Now he wants to use the strengths of the Portuguese national team against the Dutch national team, attacking the weaknesses of the other with his own strengths. Of course, the attack of the Dutch national team is not a shortcoming, and the attacking power of others is also very strong, but Paulo Bento still has to do this, which shows that he is very confident in his team's attacking ability.

The Portuguese national team is also the team with the most goals in this World Cup, and the attacking force is really strong, and it is natural for Paulo Bento to think so.

However, to be honest, the attack power of the Dutch national team is not weak. Therefore, while Paulo Bento emphasizes attack, he also asks the defenders to concentrate and not give the Dutchman any chances.

On the other hand, the head coach of the Dutch national team, Van Marwijk, did not emphasize too much, as long as the players of the Dutch national team can play as they usually train, Van Marwijk is still very confident in his team.

Of course, he still reminded his defenders to pay attention to the defense of Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo, especially Qiu Ze.

Qiu Ze is now the hottest player in the World Cup, this guy is the top player in the goal list and assist list, and his state and strength can be seen. Now Qiu Ze is a guy that no team dares to underestimate, and he must be focused on guarding.

Van Marwijk has repeatedly stressed this point in the dressing room, and he must keep an eye on Qiu Ze, otherwise the Dutch national team will be hanging.

"Okay, audience friends, welcome back, this is CCTV Sports Channel." Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, immediately said, "Now the players on both sides have come out of the locker room, they are waiting in the players' tunnel to come out, and the game is about to start." ”

Duan Xuan also said: "Director Xu, what do you think of this game?" Which team do you like? Who do you think will win? ”

Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV Sports Channel, said: "It's hard to judge, the strength of both teams is very good, and they both have the strength to advance to the finals. It's hard to tell who won. ”

However, Xu Yang finally weighed it left and right and said: "To be honest, I am personally more optimistic about the Portuguese national team, and everyone knows their strength very well. The most important thing is that the Portuguese national team has Qiu Ze, a Chinese player with excellent strength, and of course I support him. ”

Duan Xuan also said: "These two teams are the kind of teams with strong offensive strength, and this game is definitely a very exciting game, let's wait and see." ”

Then, Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, said: "Okay, now that the players from both sides have played, what they are about to do is the national anthem ceremony before the game." ”

Players from both sides walked into the stadium and then began the ceremony of playing the national anthem. After that, the captains of both sides were called away by the referee, and the two sides began to pick sides.

The referee of the match was Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura, who was one of the referees of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Yuichi Nishimura entered Japan's J-League as a referee in 2003, became an international referee for FIFA in 2004, and the following year he played his first international tournament for the 2005 East Asian Nations Cup. He was the referee for the 2007 Asian Cup and the 2007 World Youth Cup. In 2008, he was the only Asian referee to officiate for the Africa Cup of Nations.

In this year's World Cup, Yuichi Nishimura officiated a total of four games, and this game will be his farewell match for this World Cup. Yuichi Nishimura is the first referee to show a red card in this World Cup.

The captains of both sides were called over by Yuichi Nishimura for a side-picking ceremony, and the game was getting closer and closer.

"Okay audience friends, now we will use this time to introduce to you the starting lists of both sides today." Duan Xuan, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
