Chapter Five Hundred and Fiftieth IX Kicked Out of Class Again

.. , the days when I played football with Da Luo

There is no suspense for the rest of the game.

In the downfall of the Brazilian team, the Dutch team ushered in their fate of being out.

In the stands, the orange is listless and the yellow is as bright as fire.

The rhythm of samba danced throughout the game.

The score of 4:1 left the Dutch with nothing to say.

Brazil's strong offensive power has attracted the attention of the media all over the world.

At the press conference after the game, Van Marwijk said helplessly: "We have done everything and tried our best, but the result is not satisfactory."

"I can't imagine a team that can defend against this Brazil. I think the only way to beat them is to score more goals than them, not try to defend. I did that, but I lost. ...In my opinion, Brazil's chances of winning the championship this year are really great."

"I'm not making excuses for the loss. But I think there's no shame in losing to this Brazil team. Maybe I can't get the Dutch team to improve anymore and it's time for someone else to take the job." .”

Another head coach was kicked out of class.

Dunga remained sober: "We must forget about this game as soon as possible. There are still two tough battles ahead. If we want to win the championship, we still have a lot of work to do."

"Today Ricardo, Kaka, Ronnie and Maicon contributed some fantastic performances for us. Of course I hope they can play like this every game, so my job will be a lot easier. But the status of the players is always the same. There are ups and downs, who can't guarantee that they will play like this every game, even though they are already the best players in the world. What I have to do is to use training to maintain their state and make the team operate like a whole, Winning doesn't depend on one player doing well."

"Our next opponent is the winner between Uruguay and Ghana. I personally don't mind playing against either team. In the last World Cup, we won Ghana, and in the Copa America we won Uruguay. We are familiar with each opponent. No matter who we face, we will stick to our football style."

"The opponent in the final? I think it should be Germany or Argentina. Let's see who can reach the semi-finals. I personally prefer Argentina. They have Messi. This player always makes some unbelievable performances. I think he It is very likely to reach the height of Ricardo."

"Best scorer? It must be Ricardo.

He has scored seven goals in five games and I can't imagine him not winning the Golden Boot. "

The Dutch team flew home, but the Brazilian team did not celebrate too much, they continued to invest in training.

Although they have already entered the top four, and the opponents behind will become stronger and stronger, the atmosphere of the Brazilian team has always been very relaxed and happy. In this World Cup, the Brazilian team has not encountered any tough battles. Even if they ran into the Netherlands, they easily solved their opponents.

In this regard, the media raised some concerns: "The Brazilian team entered the state too early. So far, they have won all 5 games, and all of them have won by a large score. Their players have entered the exciting period ahead of time. In this way, their semi-finals and finals may be very difficult. harder."

"Ricardo and Kaka are overdrawing their state and physical fitness. The better they perform now, the more I worry that they will be mediocre in the semi-finals and finals."

"Historically, slow teams tend to win the championship more easily. Brazil is a bit hanging this year. I don't like their performance in the final."

"If you are hot, you will die. The Brazilian team is too hot, just like in 1998. Their odds of winning the championship are too high, and the bookmakers will not allow them to really win the championship."

Interestingly, no matter how the media is not optimistic about Brazil, they also think that Brazil can reach the final.

After all, whether it is Uruguay or Ghana, which may bring a little trouble to Brazil, they are not Brazil's opponents after all.

If Brazil does reach the final this time, it will be Brazil's fifth consecutive World Cup final (1994 champion, 1998 runner-up, 2002 champion, 2006 runner-up), which will be an unprecedented feat.

And if the Brazilian team wins the championship, in addition to adding a star to their jerseys, Ricardo will also officially become the king.

The game goes on.

Uruguay beat Ghana in a thrilling penalty shootout. Forlan scored his third goal of the World Cup.

The Germany-Argentina match was eye-popping. The German team won 4-0. Thomas Muller and Klose also scored 4 goals. Messi is doing nothing.

In the last quarter-final, Spain defeated Paraguay with outstanding defense 1-0 through Villa's belated goal and advanced to the top four. And Villa scored 5 goals in this competition, ranking second in the scorer list.

In the semi-finals, Brazil will face Uruguay and Germany will face Spain.

European and American teams are divided equally.

In the top 8, there are 4 American teams, 3 European teams, and 1 African team. South America has a slight upper hand.

Compared with the "World European Cup" in the next few sessions, the overall performance of the current South American teams is much better.

Old rivals Uruguay let Brazil gear up.

"There is no more suitable opponent than this," Dunga said. "The hatred of 1950, we will revenge again and again."

"We are very confident. We met Uruguay in the Copa America. This team has characteristics, but we know their strength," Ricardo said. "Suarez, Cavani and Forlan are dangerous. characters, as long as we freeze them, we can win smoothly."

At the press conference before the game, Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez said: "We must respect our opponents. The Brazilian team has the best players in the world with mature tactics. Their strength can rank first in this cup. 3. But football is not a simple game of addition and subtraction, and it is not that the stronger team will definitely win, otherwise it is difficult to explain why Italy lost 2:3 to Slovakia."

"I wouldn't say I'm confident of winning, that would be a lie, but we're going to give it our all and fight for the goal of winning. In this tournament, our initial aim was to get to the knockout rounds, which we did. Then we wanted to , At least win one game in the knockout round, and we did it. Now that we have reached the quarterfinals, why not try to enter the quarterfinals? Fortunately, we did it anyway. Now our goal is to win Brazil. We will exclude All distractions, focus on this goal."

Although Dunga verbally said that he didn't care about Uruguay and believed that he could win, he was very serious in training, and the team also practiced set-piece tactics and practiced penalty kicks.

In the previous few games, Brazil had never practiced a penalty kick, and Dunga was confident that he could resolve the battle within 90 minutes.

But for Uruguay, he has no such confidence.

It's not that Uruguay is better than the Netherlands or Chile, but that Uruguay is too familiar with Brazil, and it's hard to know how to deal with Brazil.
