With the battle for the third and fourth places over, there is only one last game left in this World Cup - the final!

Whoever wins will have a new king and the World Cup will be expanded to eight teams.

Spain can be said to have crushed the mighty Germany in the semi-finals, although the score was only 1-0, but the Germans had almost no chance to score in the whole game.

Such a strong midfield is completely comparable to the French team that won the championship in '98, and some people even think that this Spain team is stronger than that French team.

The strength of the opponents, coupled with the change of hotels, affected the preparation and mentality of the Dutch team, so it was widely believed that Spain would win in the end.

"It's a scene similar to 36 years ago, the Dutch team couldn't break their fate, and before the final, the problem broke out again, and the championship will finally belong to Spain!"

The Spanish newspaper Ass said: "Matadors, overthrow the Netherlands and achieve your own supreme glory, you will be the new kings!" ”

The three major gambling companies in Europe opened for the final, and the odds of Spain to win the championship were 1:1.55, and the odds of the Netherlands to win the championship were 1:2.45!

Well-informed gambling companies are also not optimistic about the Netherlands, and the gambling companies have even opened a new market, whether Chen Fan can score in the final.

The odds of scoring a goal are 1:7, the odds of scoring two goals are 1:35, and the odds of scoring a hat-trick are 1:100!

They are not optimistic that Chen Fan can score in the final.

The Dutch Telegraph encouraged his team: "Even if it is fate, we must break it, Dutch soldiers, fighting against fate is the theme of human development, and use your own practical actions to prove yourself in the finals and fight against unfair fate!" ”

The world's leading media outlets are beginning to predict the winner, with the French newspaper saying that Spain have a better chance of winning: "As long as the Spaniards can play a dominant game in the semi-finals, they can become the new kings, and this is very likely!" ”

The German newspaper Munich said: "The Dutch are technically superb, but in terms of overall strength, they cannot compare with Spain, especially their defence, which is not reassuring.

Entering the knockout rounds, Spain went on to get better and did not concede a single goal, but the Netherlands conceded four goals and three in the semi-finals.

Clearly, Van Marwijk's efforts at the back were not successful, and if it weren't for their attacking firepower, they would have been eliminated from the competition.

Can the Dutch forward line tear apart Spain's defence?

The answer is hard.

The centre-back combination of Puyol and Gerard Pique has left countless teams in vain, and their consistent performance in the semi-finals has been even more impressive.

Unable to tear apart Spain's defence, there are problems at the back from time to time, what will the Netherlands do to beat Spain? ”

Of course, not everyone is on the side of Spain, the British media is on the side of the Netherlands, which of course has to do with the two countries' fight for the number one league in the world today.

The Guardian said: "While Spain defensively solid, let's not forget last season's Champions League quarter-finals, when Arsenal beat Barcelona 9-5 over two legs.

In both games, Chan scored a hat-trick and the centre-back combination of Puyol and Pique simply couldn't contain him!

In other words, Chan is Puyol and Pique's nightmare!

Spain is based on Barcelona, and their style of play also follows the Barcelona style of play, and the attacking combination of Chen and Robin van Persie has a lot of experience in how to break down their defenses!

Spain don't laugh too soon, the Dutch twins will tell them that the defense they are proud of is actually a joke!

What's more, there is Robben next to the Dutch duo, as well as this extremely fast flying wing, and the combination of the three of them has accounted for more than 80% of the Netherlands' goals, which can be called the sharpest attacking combination in this World Cup.

Come on, Holland, come on, Chen, smash those conspiracies! ”

Some people think that in fact, the final between the Netherlands and Spain is, to some extent, a continuation of the competition between La Liga and the Premier League.

The Spanish players are basically from La Liga, and although Cesc Fabregas is from Arsenal in the Premier League, he has not been reused since returning to the Spanish team.

The reasons behind this are complex, and it has to do with the Barca gang, Cesc Fabregas is in a sense a traitor to Barca, he came through the La Masia academy, but his career started at Arsenal.

The Dutch team's banner bearers, Chen Fan and Robin van Persie, are from Arsenal, and the two won the "Premier League Player of the Year" award from three associations in England last season.

The two of them can fully represent the attacking power of the Premier League.

So they have the brand of the Premier League on them, which represents the level of the Premier League.

The Guardian article cheered up Dutch fans, yes, Arsenal can beat Barcelona without temper, is there a problem with the Netherlands' victory over Spain?

The dark cloud in the hearts of the Dutch fans disappeared, and they seemed to see hope again!

Spanish newspaper El Monde Sport retorted: "The reason why Barcelona lost at the feet of Arsenal was because many of Barcelona's players were not in the best form in those two games.

And at that time, the Barcelona players were also very new to Chen.

The Spanish team is not completely different from Barcelona, but the strength has definitely increased. Now that the Spanish defence is at its best, they will certainly not give Chen any more space.

As long as Chen limits the space to dribble the ball, he can't play his speed advantage at all.

Of course, there will be people who say that in addition to his speed, Chen's breakthroughs in tight spaces are also extremely sharp, as evidenced by the two long-distance runs with Slovakia and Uruguay.

We don't deny that, but can that happen so often?

The Spanish defence will definitely learn their lesson, and it is impossible to give him that chance! ”

In the war of words in the media, the final is coming!

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 11th, the Johannesburg Football Stadium has begun to gather supporters from both sides.

These fans couldn't wait to come to the stadium three and a half hours early, not only because of their eagerness, but also because some of them didn't have tickets, so they had to try their luck here early and buy a high-priced ticket from the scalpers.

Of course, buying tickets from scalpers can be dozens or even hundreds of times the face value of the ball, but they don't hesitate to do it.

There are many local Dutch fans who came to South Africa in response to Chen Fan's call, they originally chose to watch the final in China, but Chen Fan's words on social platforms stirred them, and they came to South Africa to cheer for the Netherlands on the spot.

Among them are Chen Fan's former teammates Bald Jack and his gang.

They flew to Johannesburg this morning, and after a hasty lunch, they came to the Soccer City Stadium to try their luck.

But until now they have not bought tickets, not that there are no tickets, but that the tickets among the scalpers are ridiculously expensive, and they do not bring that much money at all.

"What should I do?"

Carl looked helplessly at Bald Jack.
