....
World Cup news occupies all the pages of sports news.
The popular teams that won the championship naturally occupy more news topics.
The tense World Cup matches have entered a few days of finishing.
The players can take a breath, and so can the fans.
But the week passed quickly.
Just before the start of the quarterfinals, the head coaches of all parties took their players to the pre-match press conference.
"Gao Bo is a great coach, I admire him." Van Gaal said blankly when facing the reporter's camera.
No one can tell whether his words are from the sincerity.
In this way, the business talk before the game, the Dutch boss sees a lot, and opens his mouth.
Gao Bo also did not say anything that pleased the reporters at the press conference.
Everything is stable.
Gao Bo is not the original rookie coach now, and it is time for him to show his teeth and claws at the press conference to influence the other's emotions.
At this stage.
The competition is the degree of kneading between the teams and their own teams, and has already played on the spot.
"Mr. Van Gaal's Dutch team is undoubtedly very strong, and we will not take it lightly."
"Mr. Gao Bo, do you think England can pass the Dutch team?" a Dutch reporter stood up and asked.
"Of course." Gao Bo raised his eyebrows and said.
Then he raised his hand and looked at his wrist. "Time is up, Mr. Reporter."
With that, Gao Bo stood up.
"We are eager to stand on top of the world!!"
Gao Bo said.
Beside him, Rooney, who followed him to the press conference, was enthusiastic when he heard these words.
He can't wait to play right now and destroy the city for the team.
.....
"We are eager to stand on top of the world!"
When Van Gaal saw the reports in the media, the old Dutchman was not very good-tempered and pouted. ,
"This Chinese is as arrogant as ever."
At this time, he was sitting in the coach of the hotel where the Dutch team stayed at the Salvador New Water Stadium.
For this game, Van Gaal can be said to have done the most adequate preparation.
In terms of basic strength, the Dutch team is better than the England team.
They have world-class strikers like Robben and Van Persie.
In comparison, England's striker strength will be inferior.
Van Gaal has carefully studied the England game.
England led by Gao Bo played very well in this World Cup.
Their tactics are changeable and very flexible.
Not easy to deal with!
Van Gaal understands this.
However, Van Gaal has confidence in his team.
Compared to Gao Bo who took over the team one month before the start of the World Cup, the team led by Van Gaal has been running in for two years.
He is familiar with each of his players, and his tactical play has already taken shape.
England's tactics are changeable and flexible. In Van Gaal's view, it is also a manifestation of Gao Bo's inability to allow England to accept a solid tactical system in such a short time.
Therefore, Gao Bo can only deal with every game through on-the-spot strain.
Moreover, in these few games, the England team did not fully demonstrate their absolute control over the scene.
Even Costa Rica has a lot of opportunities when facing England.
Of course, the game against Greece is really beautiful.
But Van Gaal knew that the player's state was ups and downs.
The Greek team is already inferior to England. It is no surprise that England played a beautiful game!
Moreover, in Van Gaal's view, England's previous games have not been really tested.
Italy and Uruguay are out of state.
Greece and Costa Rica are not too strong either.
So... the true combat power of England is not yet known.
But on the Dutch side.
They beat Spain 5-1 in the group stage and beat Mexico in the quarterfinals.
The gold content is higher than in England.
Therefore, Van Gaal is full of confidence in this game!
He believes that the Dutch team with Sneijder, Robben and Van Persie will defeat England and advance to the semifinals.
Yesterday’s two games are over.
The Brazilian team defeated Colombia and entered the semifinals.
The German team defeated France 1-0 and also reached the semifinals.
Now, the other two seats in the semi-finals will be produced today.
If the Dutch team enters the semi-finals, the opponent will be the winner between Argentina and Belgium.
Van Gaal wrote and drew on his own little book, and he didn't know what he was recording.
About ten minutes later, the coach of the Dutch team entered the Salvador New Water Stadium.
Among the orange cheers of the Dutch.
The Dutch team's bus drove slowly into the stadium parking lot.
...
Two minutes later.
The coach from England also arrived.
Gao Bo got off the bus first.
He stood in front of the goal, watching his players come out one by one.
High five!
This game.
Too important for England.
And... the World Cup has been waiting too long for the Three Lions.
at this time.
A drone flies through the air ~EbookFREE.me~ The camera overlooks the stadium.
Countless fans gathered at the entrance of the stadium.
Fans lined up to enter the gates of the four gates in the south, east and northwest.
The stadium was filled up quickly!
"Today's stadium will be full! The Netherlands and England, two strong teams from Europe, will fight for a semi-final seat!!!"
A blonde beauty anchor, standing in front of the bustling crowd, said in front of the camera.
England fans!
Dutch fans!
white!
Orange!
Clearly divided!
