It is normal for Dong Fangzhuo to be criticized, after all, he had made every effort to win. When he saw the Argentine media criticizing him, he didn't care much about who hadn't done anything wrong when he was young...

Besides, in this world, if there is any country that is the most dissatisfied with Dong Fangzhuo, which country must be Argentina. Who said that Dong Fangzhuo has been suppressing Messi for many years and making Messi unable to raise his head? Except for a few rational Argentine fans, I believe that most Argentine fans dislike Dong Fangzhuo. The national sentiment is there. No matter how much dissatisfied with Messi, they are always unwilling to see Messi lose to Dong Fangzhuo.

Amid the chaos, the quarterfinals finally ended, and Germany and Belgium also eliminated their respective opponents, and the national teams that eventually reached the quarterfinals were: Germany, France, Argentina, the Netherlands, Brazil, China, Belgium and Colombia.

The specific matchup situation is Germany vs France, Argentina vs Belgium, Brazil vs Colombia, China vs Netherlands.

Among the quarterfinals, four countries have won the World Cup championship, while Belgium, Colombia and China seem a little weaker, and there is also the World Cup uncrowned king, the Netherlands.

Among the latest odds offered by Spinach Company, Brazil, Germany, Argentina, France and the Netherlands are still the most favorable. Then the odds of the Chinese team's championship rose to sixth place, first is Brazil, second is Germany, third is Argentina, fourth is Netherlands, fifth is France, and sixth is China...

However, the odds of the Chinese team and the previous teams are a bit different. The Brazilian team's championship odds reached 5.01 in 1, but the Chinese team's championship odds were 21.33 in 1. It can also be seen that Spinach Company is not optimistic about the Chinese team winning the final championship.

In the quarterfinals, the Chinese team vs. the Netherlands team, Spinach Company also set a handicap for the Netherlands to make half the ball. Overall, it is very normal for Spinach Company to think that it is difficult for the Chinese team to defeat the Netherlands. Although the Netherlands team did not score many goals in this session, their defense has really reached the extreme. It was originally their peak four years ago, but four years later, the Dutch player who was one year older is still favored by Spinach Company.

The tragedy of the Netherlands is actually second only to Germany. Although the Netherlands is known as the uncrowned king, Germany is actually the national team that has lost the most championships. It’s just that they have won the world championship, while the Netherlands has no…

However, because he has never won the world championship, the Netherlands is more eager for the World Cup than any other country, and even Argentina is not more urgent than them.

For them, even if they reach the final, they will fail, and only the champion can soothe their souls.

As for Chinese fans and Chinese teams.

Chinese fans are naturally full of fantasies, while Chinese team is actively preparing for the game.

No matter how the news media makes trouble these days, the Chinese team has been quiet all the time, and everyone just wants to wait quietly for the arrival of this quarter-final.

Most Chinese players have experienced the battle four years ago, some are substitutes, and some are absolute main players.

Everyone knows what this game means, and no one wants to lose.

In recent days, Clauchen has been using the starting lineup of the quarterfinals in training. Feng Xiaoting, who was unable to play four years ago due to a suspension, was most excited. He wanted to make up for the regrets four years ago.

Of course, it's not just him.

The veterans also care a lot.

Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi are particularly obvious.

They work very hard in training, and they always come to the training ground early these days and play training as a competition.

On that day, during a training session on Thursday afternoon, Sun Jihai was scolded by Zhang Linpeng for losing his position in defense.

Of course, Sun Jihai was just talking about his defensive problems in training.

"Zhang Linpeng!"

"Can you stop rushing upwards all the time! You can rush! But you have to be able to run back and be able to defend yourself! If you can't run back and the right side is empty, what should you do!"

Sun Jihai's voice was very loud, almost roaring. Feng Renliang rushed up behind Zhang Linpeng and faced Sun Jihai with the ball, but Sun Jihai was dunked by Feng Renliang.

He yelled out, wondering if he was angry or really caring about this defense.

At that time, Clauchen and Dong Fangzhuo were scared.

Sun Jihai was really angry, and he continued to snorkeling: "You have to figure out that our next game is a terrible quarterfinal! If you think the game is meaningless, then you can continue to do some blind things!"

Clauchen did not go forward to stop all this, but watched quietly.

He could understand Sun Jihai's mood.

Dong Fangzhuo can understand it too.

Sun Jihai is almost 37 years old, Zheng Zhi is 34 years old, and Shao Jiayi is also 34 years old. This must be their last World Cup journey, and of course they care about every bit.

Sun Jihai will definitely have no chance in the next session. He originally had no chance in this session, but as a veteran of the national team, Clauchen still brought him, and Shao Jiayi had no chance and retired. As for Zheng Zhi, he still had it. In his previous life, Zheng Zhi had no chance in 2019, but he did not retire...

Suddenly, Dong Fangzhuo also thought of himself. In another half a year, he would be 30 years old... a tragedy.

But I should be able to play for one World Cup...

But, too, old!

In a blink of an eye, it has been 10 years since I came to this world!

10 years, how many 10 years can you have in your life?

Suddenly, Dong Fangzhuo realized that he was old too.

Then he took two steps forward and came to Sun Jihai and Zhang Linpeng.

"Xiao Zhang,"

"Your defense is really not focused enough, Brother Hai is right. You must maintain enough concentration. You will meet the world's top winger in the game. The defense on the right is all tied to you. If you can't stand it, Brother Hai and the others will also suffer. The training ground is also a battlefield. We must maintain the same attitude to face it. Feng Renliang is Robben! Your task should be to stop him."

“This year is our best opportunity, we should be united, without any reason.”

"Brother Hai, you should be calm, I believe Xiao Zhang just didn't understand it for a while, and he would make mistakes."

“All in all, we all know what our goals are.”

...

The sound was loud and everyone heard it.

Even the Chinese media reporters who secretly hid in the corner to watch the Chinese team's training were clearly taken.

It seems that this is an internal strife of the national team, which is quite awesome news. If this news is released, it will not only be China's headlines, but it will probably be headlines in the Netherlands, Brazil and the whole world.

Chinese media reporters are quite unconventional. Perhaps at this moment, they don’t realize what this represents.

Fortunately, there is also a national team leader Zhu Heyuan. When Sun Jihai was furious, he had already noticed the existence of reporters, and he came to the reporters as soon as possible.

"Don't report this kind of thing. No matter how valuable this news is, it is not as valuable as the Chinese team getting an ideal result, right?"

Zhu Heyuan smiled faintly, "We are all old friends, and we should say that we have the greatest common goal. Whether we can do it depends on this year."

"Report on the Netherlands and other teams more. I heard that Robben has caused a lot of trouble recently. You should go there to communicate."

"That's why you can enter the training ground, while media reporters from other countries cannot enter the training ground, because we are all Chinese and we must promote positive energy."

There is indeed internal strife in the Netherlands.

In major competitions, there will inevitably be internal strife, which is a major tradition for the Dutch team. Yesterday, the British Daily Mail reported that at the training base in Rio de Janeiro, Robben was so angry that he got up and kicked his teammates angrily.

During training, Robben was kicked down twice by Feyenoord defender Indy. Especially in the second confrontation, Indy was too big to stop his feet. Robben, who was tackled, knelt on the court with a very painful expression. Then Robben, who stood up, was completely angry and kicked his teammates with a kick. Afterwards, the angry Bayern winger briefly left the field and returned again. It seemed that he was not injured. It is worth mentioning that the Dutch coach Van Gaal, who was standing next to him, witnessed the entire process of the conflict between his disciples.

"Robben is a player with a strong dribbling breakthrough ability. I think the time he fell was unnecessary. We were really a bit tooth-for-tat." When the reporter said that he saw some gunpowder between the two, Indy replied, "You're right."

The Telegraph said, "Robben is indeed dissatisfied with his teammates' big moves and defense. After all, the World Cup has reached a critical moment. If he is injured at this time, it would be a pity."

However, some foreign fans stood on Indy's side because Robben had long been called "fake fall". In the news comments of the Daily Mail, some fans joked, "Robben seems to be unable to control the fake fall in training. Do you see the referees of the World Cup?"

"He has now practiced the fake fall to a new level."

...

It would be fine if there was an internal strife in the Netherlands. The Chinese team could not have such a scandal. This would have affected unity too much, so Zhu Heyuan stopped the Chinese journalists' reports as soon as possible.

The reporters all expressed their understanding, and then there was no negative news about the Chinese team on the Internet. At the same time, the quarter-finals finally began.

In the match between Brazil and Colombia, the host Brazil won. At the Castran Stadium, Brazil beat Colombia 2:1. However, their ace Neymar was injured in the game, which was the biggest blow to Brazil.

Afterwards, Germany defeated France 1-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

In this way, Brazil vs Germany is a foregone conclusion...

Dong Fangzhuo also saw a tragedy in advance. In the absence of Neymar, Brazil should have lost 1:7 to Germany. I wonder if this will become a fact again.

At noon on Saturday, Clauchen took Dong Fangzhuo to attend the press conference.

He did not say much about the match between China and the Netherlands, but talked about the future match between Germany and Brazil: "In my opinion, after Brazil lacks Neymar, it is difficult for it to confront Germany. After lacking the core Neymar, Brazil may not find the rhythm of the game. If they play too anxiously, the result may be unexpected. The German team played very steadily in this cup. Although there are not many big scores, it is difficult to win them."

In his words, he was no longer optimistic about Brazil.

The Brazilian reporters present felt that Dong Fangzhuo was a little meddling in other people's business.

"Dong, think carefully about how the Chinese team will win the Netherlands first. Do you think China can win the Netherlands?"

"I don't know, but we're all ready and I believe it's going to be a pretty good game tonight."

"I think the Netherlands dare not say that they will definitely win against China. As for the final result, everyone will know after 8 o'clock tonight."

As for the Netherlands, Sneijder was also very low-key when attending the press conference, almost the same as Dong Fangzhuo's lines.

The two sides later announced the starting lineup, and the Chinese team did not change at all, exactly the same as the quarterfinals. However, the Dutch team, Robben and Indy, who were infighting, were still not affected, and Van Gaal asked them to start at the same time.

Goalkeeper: Hilersen

Defender: Kuyt, Devry, Flar, Martins Indy

Midfielder: Wijnaldum, Brinde, Sneider, Depp

Forward: Van Persie, Robben

※※※※

In the New Water Arena in El Salvador, Dutch fans and Chinese fans each occupy half of the country, with orange and white clearly separated. Because orange and red are too similar, the Chinese team can only choose white uniforms, which the Netherlands wears their traditional orange uniforms.

The fans of both sides are quite friendly. After all, in the two teams, Sneider and Dong Fangzhuo have a very deep relationship, and there are many fans from both countries standing together to take photos.

"Videos and fans, welcome to the quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup. Today we bring you the Chinese team vs. the Netherlands."

"The game is about to begin in twenty minutes..."

The camera switched to the channel and a warm scene appeared. Sneider and Robben were hugging Dong Fangzhuo enthusiastically, and even Kuyt came over to say hello to Dong Fangzhuo.

Of course, there is Van Persie, these guys are old opponents.

"They are all old."

"Whether it's Sneider, Van Persie, Robben, and Dong Fangzhuo. They once ruled the football world together, but time has driven people to grow old, and the youngest Dong Fangzhuo is about to be 30 years old."

"Four years later, Dong Fangzhuo will be 34 years old, so we must cherish this World Cup and cherish the days when he watches him play football..."

"Of course, in our Chinese team, Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi are likely to say goodbye to the national team, especially Sun Jihai. It is really not easy for him to start for the Chinese team when he is about to turn 37. The veteran is not dead, but he is gradually dying..."
