Chapter 572 Chapter 570: The semifinals are coming!

In order to encourage the Dutch team to advance to the final, a group of former Dutch superstars headed by Basten went to the hotel to visit the Dutch players on the afternoon of the game.

These former world football figures are smiling. They paid too much for the World Cup, but they failed to enter the finals. They hope that the players of this generation can fulfill their unfulfilled long-cherished wishes.

Chen Fan and Basten communicated, and Basten looked at Chen Fan and sighed: "I didn't expect you to reach this height in just one year. This is beyond my expectation. I thought you would need at least seven or eight years of training to reach this height."

"You are so surprising!"

Chen Fan pursed his lips and replied, "Coach, you taught me, why don't you have confidence in me?"

"Ronaldo won the World Footballer when he was 20 years old, and I am almost 20 years old. Everyone says that you should be famous as soon as possible..."

Basten scolded with a smile: "There is only one Ronaldo in the world..."

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, Basten scratched his scalp and said, "Yes, there is only one you in the whole world, you are all speechless guys..."

He quickly ended the subject: "Confidence tonight?"

Damn it, I think I was also the best striker in world football back then. If it weren't for the injury, maybe I would have achieved even greater achievements.

Chen Fan nodded and said, "I have confidence."

He jokingly said: "Coach, when did you see me depressed?"

Basten thought for a while, and felt that what Chen Fan said seemed to make sense, this is really a speechless little guy...

The Dutch celebrities brought not only condolences to the Dutch team, but also encouragement, which brought them greater confidence.

……

When the lights came on, the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town was already crowded with people.

The World Cup semi-final is about to start in this stadium!

Supporters of the two countries began to gather outside the stadium, their faces painted with national flag paint and wearing jerseys supporting the team...

Reporters from different countries are busy interviewing supporters of the two teams...

At around [-] o'clock, the Uruguayan bus slowly drove into the stadium, which caused a commotion among the fans, and the reporters who had been waiting there cheered up and became excited.

Uruguay filed down, and Fran came to the reporter and said: "Tonight's victory must belong to Uruguay. We not only represent Uruguay, we also represent the Americas!"

This remark made Brazilian and Argentine reporters feel ashamed. They are the duo of South Africa. They should have carried the banner of American football and defended the honor of American football. As a result, they both lost at the feet of European teams.

Ten minutes later, the Dutch coach drove into the stadium, and they caused an even bigger stir.

The Orange Cyclones have conquered the world long ago and they have many supporters all over the world.

The reporters were even more excited. When the Dutch stars stepped off the bus, they issued a call, and the Dutch Trident was the focus of their call.

Before the last game, Chen Fan was interviewed by the media. This time, Van Persie walked in front of the reporter, and Robben and Chen Fan walked to the locker room with other players.

"We will not let that happen more than a month ago, we will not give Uruguay a chance to lead by two goals!"

Van Persie said to the microphone in front of him: "We will do a good job of defense first. At this stage of the game, any mistakes are fatal. We are tired of chasing and we want to be the chased!"

Van Persie's words made the Uruguayan reporters very dissatisfied, and the Argentine reporters even snorted in their hearts, the chased one?
This idea is very good, but it is still unknown who will be chased in the end!

……

After nearly four and 10 minutes of warm-up, players from both sides returned to the locker room to make final preparations for the game, and the turf of the Green Point Stadium suddenly became empty.

The commentators from various countries in the broadcast booth have already entered the working state, and they began to introduce the weather conditions in Cape Town and the recent news of the two teams.

In the Uruguay locker room, coach Tabarez began to mobilize after announcing the starting lineup: "We have not reached the final for many years. It has been so long that people have forgotten that we are also world champions!"

He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Tonight, we will show our blood and tell the world that Uruguay has returned after more than half a century of silence!"

"We are the first country to win the World Cup, it's time to regain our former glory!"

The blood of the Uruguayan players is spurting, and a strong fighting spirit rises from them!

Tabarez looked at his players very satisfied and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead, Uruguay, we are the best team in the world today, and we are the best players in the world today!"

……

In the Dutch locker room, not only did Van Marwijk not mobilize, but he was cooling down.

"Calm down, calm down comes first!"

The Dutch coach said: "Melo's behavior tells us that any behavior that is not calm will plunge the team into despair. No matter how critical the situation is, no matter how provocative the opponent is, no matter how the referee makes a penalty, we must stay calm!"

He took a special look at a few defenders and said, "Even if we want to foul, we must not go at people. That would be a card, or even a red card!"

……

At [-]:[-], the starting players from both sides came to the player tunnel. The two teams played a warm-up match more than a month ago and knew each other very well, but the players of both teams chose not to look at each other.

Under the leadership of four referees, players from both sides walked into the field, and they were greeted with cheers like a tsunami!

"Uruguay!"

"Uruguay!"

"Uruguay!"

"Netherlands!"

"Netherlands!"

"Netherlands!"

The commentator on the broadcast stand became excited, and the ESPN commentator said loudly: "The long-awaited semi-final is about to begin, and the starters from both sides have already entered the stadium!"

The commentator of Milan Sports Station said: "The Netherlands once again entered the semi-finals. It has been 12 years since the last time. In the 98 World Cup in France, the Netherlands eliminated Argentina and advanced to the semi-finals with Bergkamp's amazing goal. As a result, they unfortunately lost to Brazil in the penalty shootout and missed the final!

However, in this World Cup, they avenged their revenge, eliminated Brazil in the quarter-finals and entered the semi-finals. "

The Spanish national TV commentator said: "The two teams have only met once in the World Cup. In 1974, the Netherlands won the first group match 2-0. Pablo Forlan, the father of Diego Forlan, participated in that game.

Since then, the two teams have faced each other twice in warm-up matches. In 1980, Uruguay won 2-0 at home in Montevideo.The most recent match was more than a month ago, and the Netherlands narrowly won [-]-[-].

From the perspective of historical record, the Netherlands has the upper hand, but the data is also the most unreliable.Take the Netherlands and Brazil as an example. In the World Cup in the United States in [-] and the World Cup in France in [-], the two teams met in the knockout round, and Brazil won both times.

It can be said that Brazil is the sufferer of the Netherlands, but the Netherlands has changed history in this World Cup. "
