Chapter 505: Climbing to the limit, European civil war?
Chapter 505: Climbing to the limit, European civil war?
Even a tough guy like Dunga couldn't help but wipe his face when facing Brazil's 0:3 deficit.
His expression was completely helpless and confused.
Brazil and the Netherlands were considered equal opponents before today, and Brazil should even be slightly higher than the Netherlands due to its reputation and hard power on paper.
Brazil has more champions in its ranks.
The Champions League champion plus the league champion best reflects the overall strength of the players.
But the Dutch team beat Brazil to the point where it was now unable to fight back.
Even the fans can feel that the Brazilian team's struggling space has become infinitely narrow.
Do you still dare to attack?
Want to die a worse death?
Shen Hao used up the last substitution spot.
Maduro comes on to replace Robben.
Robben was cheered wildly by all the Dutch fans when he came off the field.
He walked out of the stadium slowly with a relaxed look. When he saw Shen Hao taking the initiative to greet him, Robben raised his hand and gave Shen Hao a high five, and his smile became even brighter.
After high-fiving him, Shen Hao hugged him and kissed his bald head that seemed to be shining with light.
Robben is very familiar with Shen Hao's coaching style and habits.
Substituting him now is to prepare him for the semifinals.
The Dutch team's advance to the semi-finals has been decided.
After the substitution, Shen Hao did not relax his vigilance, but signaled to Elia and Van Persie on the court.
Ask them to run with all their might on defense!
This was also what Shen Hao asked of them when they came on stage.
Elia and Van Persie had just scored a goal together, and they were excited at this time.
Even if I hope to continue to press Brazil and beat him to death.
But they did not dare to neglect Shen Hao's orders.
Brazil kicked off and the Dutch team retreated to the backcourt as a whole.
Counter-attacks launched from the front continued to strangle Brazil's offensive organization.
Sneijder seemed a little slack during this process.
But this is also Shen Hao's request.
Use the forward to burn physical energy to reduce his burden on the court.
The further we get to the World Cup, the more physical fitness will be tested.
Entering the semi-finals means playing in all 7 games of the World Cup.
No matter whether you win or lose in the semi-finals, you will either compete for the championship or the third place.
We have to fight until the end.
Play 7 games in one month.
In fact, it is no stranger to top players in terms of the intensity of competition.
The intensity of the club's double-match schedule is higher than that of the World Cup.
However, the psychological and spiritual consumption brought by the World Cup stage is definitely far greater than that of club events.
Therefore, it will lead to greater consumption of physical energy.
And in the club, if you play for a strong team, it is impossible to play strong dialogue for a month.
In the World Cup, every second of every game is something I cannot take lightly.
In the last game of the group stage, the Dutch team rotated the entire team to give the main players a chance to rest.
But Shen Hao will still prepare as much as possible for the semifinals.
Even if it only improves the strength of the Dutch team a little, there may not be any difference in status and performance, but he will follow his own ideas.
This is an invisible accumulation of advantages.
The Brazilian team is in chaos.
The mind is confused and disoriented.
When Kaka got yellow in the counter-attack, countless Brazilian fans felt sorry for their son of God.
This young man in white, who has a perfect performance in killing everyone in the club arena, may only be able to exert his full strength and shine brightly under the command of the tyrant in white.
Ronaldo and Ronaldinho remained silent in the box, looking down at the court with mournful expressions.
It's one thing to have a premonition that Brazil is going to die, but it's another thing to see the team suffer a complete defeat.
In fact, they know very well that this has little to do with the performance of the players from the Brazilian and Dutch teams.
Because as long as one assumption is made, the situation will be completely different.
Let Dunga coach the Netherlands and Shen Hao coach Brazil.
So now it is probably Brazil 3:0 Netherlands!
They didn't communicate, but they had the same thoughts.
Rather than saying that Brazil lost to the Netherlands, it would be better to say that Dunga was ravaged by Shen Hao!
The situation on the field makes Brazilian fans feel incredible that it is the Dutch team that is constantly posing threats!
If Robben hadn't left the field, allowing the Brazilian defense to concentrate on chasing Elia and freezing Robin van Persie, Brazil's goal might have conceded another goal!
Time passes minute by minute.
Brazil could never find a suitable breakthrough.
When Kaka ran away in despair, Maduro, Van Bommel, and De Jong's siege and blockade could still contain him with fouls no matter how bad the blockade was.
Kaka was extremely regretful at this time.
Maybe it’s time to put aside the team mentality and concentrate on disrupting the Dutch defense with individual ability from the beginning of the game.
But the Brazilian team under Dunga did not allow this kind of situation of leaving the team and playing alone. In other words, it was the prerogative of the Brazilian forward, not an attacking midfielder who could act arbitrarily.
Occasionally seeing Shen Hao on the sidelines, Kaka couldn't help but imagine how Shen Hao would be used if he came to coach Brazil?
In the past ten years, Brazil's brightest stars have all played under Shen Hao.
3r plus Kaka.
They didn't need to communicate, but they had the most intuitive feeling: Shen Hao's respect for the stars' abilities was unique.
Compared with some coaches who overemphasize the team, Shen Hao, even if he says so, will always tailor appropriate technical and tactical strategies for the stars to maximize their abilities.
This alone makes superstars eager to cooperate with Shen Hao for a long time.
It's like the mutual success of Bole and Chollima.
In the last few minutes of the game, the Dutch team slowed down and stalled for time. In the heartbroken mood of the Brazilian fans, the game came to an end.
The moment the final whistle sounded, the Dutch fans burst into earth-shattering cheers!
The score on the big screen made Dunga unable to hold his head up and embarrassed.
Netherlands: 3.
Brazil: 0.
Dunga's reputation seemed to be ruined in one fell swoop.
But he was also relieved.
He will definitely be dismissed immediately after the game.
Needless to say.
The Brazilian Football Association will definitely put all the responsibility for the World Cup performance not up to expectations on him.
Of course, he was not unjust.
Shen Hao appeared in front of him.
Deng Jia had mixed feelings, gritted his teeth and raised his hand with difficulty to shake hands with Shen Hao after the game.
The next second, the handshake between the two seemed to end in an instant.
Dunga originally thought that Shen Hao would "consol" him as a winner, or show a hint of arrogance.
But Shen Hao shook hands with him and then turned around and walked into the stadium.
As if he was just a passerby.
It's an insignificant little role.
Maybe not even a character.
There is really no need for Shen Hao to show off his power to Deng Jia.
Among the opponents he has played against, there are many whose coaching level is much higher than Dunga's.
If you don't look at Dunga's player career.
As a coach, what achievements does he have?
Shen Hao will never take this kind of coach to heart.
As Shen Hao entered the stadium, he high-fived and hugged the Dutch generals who were all smiling with excitement. Then they went to the stands where the Dutch fans were standing and stood in a row to applaud the stands.
Under the leadership of Shen Hao, they held hands and rose repeatedly, and the Dutch fans cheered rhythmically.
When Shen Hao turned around and left the field, the Dutch generals followed closely behind.
The photographer on the sidelines captured this scene, just like a general leading a steel division, with both invincible confidence and unbreakable tenacity!
The post-match press conference.
Shen Hao faced the media, and the Dutch reporters at the scene applauded.
They almost wanted to kneel in front of Shen Hao and kowtow to apologize.
When Shen Hao took office, their rejection of Shen Hao was a huge and stupid mistake!
Shen Hao briefly commented on the game.
“The Brazilian team did not show its full strength, at least there is still some gap from what I think is the limit, but this does not prevent the Netherlands from winning well-deserved.
After today's performance, I think my job with the Dutch team has come to an end. "
When Shen Hao said this, all the reporters in the audience looked confused.
What do you mean?
The end?
Want to resign?
Damn it!
Stop playing!
Shen Hao continued: "The team has reached the upper limit of its strength. I can no longer improve this team, so don't ask whether the Dutch team can be stronger. We are now in the strongest form, and we will work hard to maintain it." With this momentum and state on the stage of the semi-finals, let’s do our best to continue winning!”
The reporters at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm really afraid that Shen Hao won't act according to common sense and will make a historic breaking news about making it to the semi-finals but then resigning.
Asked by reporters about the performance of Brazilian players, especially Kaká.
Shen Hao shook his head and said: "Although Kaka is my player at Leeds United, on this occasion, it is not suitable for me to comment on him. I can only say that from the bottom of my heart, he must have tried his best, but he did not get the ideal result." As a result, there will be some criticism and anger from disappointment, but that doesn't mean he's no longer one of the best players on the planet."
Shen Hao needs to protect Kaka, but he cannot help Kaka shirk the blame.
Losing is always the responsibility of everyone on the team.
It's nothing more than more or less, the difference in primary and secondary size.
Looking forward to the semi-finals, Shen Hao still shook his head.
"Ghana or Uruguay? In my opinion, it's almost the same. If we dream of a championship, we won't pick our opponents. The champion should have the confidence to be fearless of any opponent, and I believe the current Dutch team has such confidence."
Shen Hao did not exaggerate this point.
The Dutch team is now full of confidence, but they are not blind.
But they have accumulated it over the past two years and further strengthened it through the World Cup.
8 World Cup qualifying games and 5 World Cup games.
The Dutch team won all the games and kept clean sheets in 13 games!
They are making history.
Dunga faced crazy questions from reporters after the game. He almost irresponsibly did not answer any questions directly, but said that he would bear the responsibility for elimination.
Looks very manly.
It seems that he is ready for get out of class to end.
But on the other hand, it seems very irresponsible.
What have these four years brought to the Brazilian team?
There may not even be a single lesson worth teaching.
"The five-star Brazilian dream is shattered in Port Elizabeth!"
"The Oranje crushed the Selecao with cold and cruel quick counterattacks!"
"The Chinese young coach led the Dutch team to tie the third place in history!"
"The Dutch team stepped on the corpse of Brazil and advanced to the semi-finals. The championship has been completed!"
...
A few hours later, the quarter-finals between Ghana and Uruguay took place.
Compared with the Dutch team playing the Brazilian team in a master's duel, details determine success or failure.
Uruguay and Ghana also presented a classic battle with the ultimate reversal for all fans around the world.
When the game came to the last minute of overtime, the score was still tied and the game unexpectedly reached its climax.
Ghana got a winning chance in front of the goal, but forward Suarez blocked the ball with both hands in front of the goal.
Suarez was sent off with a red card.
Ghana gets a penalty kick.
Then...Ghana flies!
Suarez's red card gave Uruguay a glimmer of hope.
The game entered a penalty shootout.
Ghana's mentality has collapsed.
Because they missed two winning chances.
Once the ball was blocked by Suarez with both hands, and once he missed the ball.
In the end they fell in a penalty shootout!
Uruguay escaped from the brink of death in a short period of time!
That's the beauty of football.
Before the game is over, anything can happen.
When Shen Hao was watching the game in the hotel, he actually didn't care much about who would advance when the game entered overtime.
As for Uruguay, it was Uruguay who finally advanced.
Shen Hao will not underestimate them, but he will not underestimate them either.
Uruguay's advancement was so smooth.
It has not been tested by world-class teams.
In the group stage, they drew with France, who returned home in the final group stage, and failed to score France's goal.
Defeating two opponents, South Africa and Mexico, was not convincing enough.
In the knockout round, they will play South Korea first and then Ghana.
The victory over South Korea was just a small victory.
The match against Ghana went into overtime.
To put it bluntly, the Dutch team played Mexico and Ghana in their previous warm-up matches, and it was hard to talk about the difficulty and intensity.
Of course, there is no comparison between the World Cup main game and the warm-up matches.
But if they meet in the World Cup, Shen Hao doesn't think these two teams will become a stumbling block in front of the Dutch team.
What's more, Uruguay now has both overtime and Suarez's red card suspension.
The Dutch team's semi-final opponents are announced.
The Dutch media were so excited that they almost announced that the Dutch team could advance to the finals.
The whole world can see that Uruguay will definitely be at the end of its game in the semi-finals.
The Dutch team is in hot form.
The battle between the Netherlands and Brazil is the focus of the top eight in their half.
The focus of the other half is between Germany and Argentina.
Before the start of this game, the Dutch team has returned to Cape Town to prepare for the semi-finals.
Argentina, led by soccer king Maradona, is also a favorite to win the championship, but the battle with the last European Cup runner-up Germany showed a one-sided defeat!
Germany 4:0 Argentina!
On the scene, Germany won extremely easily.
It is completely a dimensionality reduction attack at the overall technical and tactical level.
Objectively speaking, Argentina's stumbling on the road to qualifying for the World Cup in South America has revealed that Maradona is indeed unsatisfactory at the coaching level.
But Argentina advanced, and people naturally supported him.
Perhaps Maradona himself also had unrealistic illusions and was unable to realize his lack of coaching ability.
Argentina has the most luxurious striker in this World Cup, but they can't even score a goal in a real strong dialogue.
It's really embarrassing.
The final quarter-final match was between Paraguay and Spain.
Spain defeated Paraguay 1:0 again to win and advance to the semi-finals!
The South American media howled.
Among the top eight, South American teams occupy half of the field, and half of the seats are South American teams.
After the top four list was released.
All three of Europe's top three are impressively represented.
Of the four South American teams, only one is left, Uruguay!
As long as the Netherlands kills Uruguay.
Then the final of this World Cup will become a civil war between European teams just like the last World Cup!
