Chapter 585 Imagining the Final
The media commented on the duel between Argentina and the Netherlands. Many media believed that this game could not be compared with the war between West Germany and Germany.

German "Der Spiegel" magazine believes: "This is not a wonderful semi-final, but the winner can enter the final and compete with the Spanish team for the championship. In the 120-minute competition, the two teams had almost no bright spots.

40 years ago, the Dutch had created an innovative style of play called Total Attack and Total Defense, and they rose to prominence in the [-] World Cup and won the runner-up.

But in the current Dutch coach Van Gaal, the four-three-three formation is only in a secondary position.Cruyff has repeatedly complained about the roughness of his opponents, while Van Gaal also accused the Argentines of not playing beautiful football in this World Cup.

In fact, Van Gaal's accusation is justified.

The Dutchman tried to break through the dense defense of the Argentine team with a long pass.

Three and 10 minutes later, Robben and Van Persie sent a total of 26 long passes.

But Sneijder and others' shots either missed the goal or were confiscated by the goalkeeper.

On the contrary, the Argentine's attention was focused on the ground, where Messi's No. 15 direct free kick was extremely threatening.

Compared with the West-Germany war that took place a day ago, this is a game that is nothing to watch. The stars of both sides are trying to show their best condition.

Also being strictly guarded by the opponent's defender, Li scored a goal with a super lob and a free kick, while Messi, Robben and others failed.

Just like a glass of mineral water, the game between Argentina and the Netherlands was tasteless and disappointing! "

The Dutch media have expressed that the orange dream has once again been shattered!
The Dutch "Telegraph" reported on the headline "The Orange Army is out", saying, "The dream of the Dutch team has been shattered. Under the leadership of Louis van Gaal, the Orange Army broke into the semi-finals against the Argentine team.

The fretful game went into a horrific penalty shootout after 120 minutes in which the Netherlands lost.After winning four games in a row, the Dutch team's trip to Brazil is over. "

Dutch national television reported that "after 120 minutes of tepid and unexciting competition, the Dutch team finally lost to Argentina [-]-[-] in a penalty shootout and missed the final of the World Cup in Brazil."

According to the report, the two teams of the Netherlands and Argentina played very cautiously, with intensive defense, and there were not many opportunities in the whole game.

"New Rotterdam Handelsblatt" stated that the loss of this game is undoubtedly a "huge disappointment" for the Dutch.

According to reports, the Dutch team played conservatively in the first half and improved slightly in the second half, but they failed to seize the few opportunities and lost the game after a penalty shootout.

The Argentine media felt relieved that the team could enter the final.

The headline of the Argentine Sports Weekly is: After 24 years, Argentina once again entered the World Cup finals!

The Argentine team defeated the Netherlands [-]-[-] after a penalty shootout at the Itagera Stadium in Sao Paulo on the [-]th, and entered the World Cup final again after [-] years.After the game, the Argentine players expressed their expectations for the upcoming final with the German team.

Although Messi, the soul of the team, walked directly to the bus under the escort of the staff and did not stay in the mixed area for a while, other players were very excited to accept the interview.

midfielder Mascherano said: "We have dreamed of this moment for many years, and now this moment has come. The whole world has seen us, our flag will fly again in the World Cup final, and I hope everything goes well. As we wish."

Mascherano believes: "A World Cup final must be the most important game in a player's career, and we must strive to win.

I also thought about failure in today's game, but in the end I got through it, because the most I thought about was that we were going to the final, and now we did it.

In [-], the last time Argentina won the championship, I was very young, only [-] years old, but I still remember it clearly.The German team, the opponent in this final, has technology and strength. They defeated the Brazil team. We must pay attention to opening up space, making full use of the space, and playing with our brains. "

Zabaleta, who was injured in the game, had blood-stained scars on the corner of his mouth, but he still patiently answered many reporters' questions.

Zabaleta said: "Of course we only think about the final now and we will do our best to win. We have dreamed of this moment since the beginning of the World Cup, but now we need a good rest.

We played the full 120 minutes today, but Spain didn't run as much as we did yesterday.So we first have to be physically ready. "

Speaking of the German team's narrow defeat the day before, Zabaleta said: "When the German team led [-]-[-], I thought Germany would enter the final, but the following scene told me that no one can underestimate the opponent under any score.

Spain's reversal is surprising, but this is the charm of football. When everyone thinks you have lost, but as long as you don't give up, you may create miracles! "

Zabaleta also said, "The most important thing now is to think about what we are going to do in the future. We have learned some lessons from the game between Spain and Germany. We have considered our tactical problems and also noticed that we must 120 minutes of total focus.

The Netherlands is also a very strong team. Robben, Van Persie, and Sneijder may be the best players in this World Cup, but today we defended them, and we did something amazing.

I think we can guard Lee and Iniesta and we win the title! "

Goalkeeper Romero, who saved two penalty kicks for the Dutch team, said: "It's something I've always dreamed of, I've been looking forward to, to reach the final. Don't think too much in your head.

We have been working very hard, we have not been beaten by other teams in the World Cup this year, and when it came to the penalty shootout, I thought I must help them stay unbeaten.

It cannot be said that I saved the Argentine team alone. We are a team consisting of [-] people, and our national team is a world-class team.

In fact, today's game was more calm than the previous ones. I knew I could help the team. Thank God, I did. "

Forward Lavezzi said: "We are thrilled to be in a World Cup final again after so many years, it is beautiful, it is important, we are enjoying it, but from tomorrow onwards we will be thinking about the final.

It's not unusual for me to be substituted during a game. After all, we are a team, everyone has their own place, and everyone should think not just of an individual, but of the whole team.

Holland played every game in their own way, they were fast, but Argentina were better than them today and deserved the win.

I was very young when Argentina won the last world championship, but being able to enter the final again today is definitely an unforgettable event for everyone. "

Another striker Higuain said: "I think the most important thing is to fight and fight. First of all, you must have the confidence to win, because the World Cup is never easy."

Talking about the opponents in the final, Higuain said cautiously: "Spain is the defending champion, their strength is undoubted, they have many experienced players, and they also have the experience of winning the championship.

But I think many people prefer Argentina to win the championship, they do not want Spain to successfully defend the title. "

Finally he said: "Although the final is difficult, I believe we will have the last laugh!"
