Capello made the final decision to support Wang Rui's position as the tactical core, allowing the British media to focus on the upcoming semi-finals.

So before the match between England and the Netherlands started, the battle between the media of the two countries had already begun.

Dutch Sport inspired his team: "Win against England, step into the final, achieve great glory, you are the heroes of the Netherlands!" ”

All-attack and all-defense were once all the rage and had a profound impact on football tactics in the world today, and orange used to be the most dazzling color in world football.

Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona and the representative of all-attacking and all-defense, said in an interview with a Dutch media: "Although England is full of stars, the key to the Netherlands' victory is to contain the king's play, and the first task of the Dutch team's defense is to contain his play." ”

Cruyff's view was completely different from Maradona's, and he believed that Wang Rui not only did not get lost, but also played a crucial role in England.

"There are no secrets to the teams so far in the game, England has really given people a lot of surprises, and the three young players of the Wolves team have become the main force of England through their own efforts, and the performance of the three of them has been shocking.

Wang is the kind of player who is born for the big scene, and the Netherlands can't take it too seriously! ”

Of course, there are also people who look down on Wang Rui, Dutch celebrity Michel said in an interview with a Dutch TV station: "The role of Wang has been infinitely expanded by people, in fact, we calmly analyze, many of his goals have a lucky component."

The king is not so terrible, he is still far from Maradona at his peak, not even as good as Platini back then, there is no need to put him in too high a position, and there is no need to send someone to keep an eye on him.

Sending a special person to guard him proved to be ineffective, and we could have used zone defense to contain him.

We have to note that Gillard's long-range shot and Frank Lampard's forward end were more of a threat to the Netherlands. ”

The British media analyzed the root cause of Michelle's remarks. It was Wang Rui who was too much of a threat to the Netherlands, causing too much pressure in the Dutch team, and he was relieving pressure on the Dutch team.

The Daily Mirror refuted: "If Mr. Michel thinks that the role of the king is not very important and the threat is not great, why is there any talk about how to contain the king?"

Michel's remarks reflect the ambivalence of the Dutch, who on the one hand believe that the king will pose a great threat to their defence, and on the other hand they are unwilling to let go of their pride. ”

Bobby Charlton, a meritorious figure in British football and the most important contributor to winning the championship on home in 66, was interviewed by the British media in a rare way.

He said in an interview: "Wang is the most talented midfielder I have ever seen, his passing foresight and ability to find gaps in the opposition defence have reached the level of top stars.

And many people don't pay so much attention to these two points. The focus is on his ability to score goals. In my opinion, against the Netherlands, his passing helped England more.

Although the Dutchman has come out and said that he is average, it is undeniable that he is already a phenomenal player, and it is impossible for the Dutchman to give him more room to play with such a player.

As you can imagine, in the semi-finals, whenever there is space for shots. How many Dutch players will go for the block?

So I think Wang should focus more on creating chances for his teammates in the semi-finals, rather than putting the pressure on his own shoulders.

This will be more beneficial to his play! ”

……

As for the battle between the media of the two countries, Wang Rui did not pay attention. Even Maradona's words at Buenos Aires International Airport were laughed off.

Now the core issue is to keep yourself in shape and, if possible, make yourself better at something.

For example, the speed of passing the ball can be faster. For example, you can add some direct passing, for example, you can improve the skill of free kicks a little more......

Now Wang Rui has no one who can influence him, and the success of the first five games. Let him be more confident and stronger-willed.

Although the match against the Netherlands was destined to be tough, it did not affect his confidence.

England are also more united than ever, and Wayne Rooney, the biggest factor in the original instability, is now only quietly and actively participating in training in order to meet Capello's criteria and be part of the starting line-up against the Netherlands.

He realised that he was no longer an indispensable player for England.

The Italian has changed his severity with less scolding and more encouragement on the training ground, and this World Cup has changed him a lot......

On the morning of July 6, Queen Elizabeth II came to South Africa in a low-key manner, but she still did not escape the eyes of reporters.

The Queen of England kept her promise to cheer England on the spot, followed by Prince William and Prince Harry.

The news quickly reached the ears of the English players, who were shocked and their morale was even higher!

Just as Elizabeth II's plane landed on South African soil, the pre-match meeting took place at the Hilton Hotel in Cape Town.

Dutch boss Donny van Marwijk took the lead and told more than 200 media in the audience: "Tonight's game is going to be tough, England are a traditional team that deserves respect, we can't be sure of winning.

However, we will do our best to win, and we are equally hungry to reach the final! ”

The reporters in the audience looked at each other, the Dutch are showing weakness?

The Dutch reporter thought to himself: showing weakness can also be regarded as a strategy...... It's okay, and a little trick is okay to win!

The British reporter snorted coldly in his heart: Van Marwijk, this trick is useless, how can the England team be proud and complacent because of your weakness.

It's more like setting the stage for failure!

Van Marwijk didn't know the various thoughts of the reporters in the audience, and continued: "England are strong overall, and there is hardly any position with obvious weaknesses. Not only that, but they also have a superstar who has scored eleven goals!

Maradona is not optimistic about him, it does not mean that he is not strong, but it highlights his strength, Wang is the most dangerous player in the England team, we will study it carefully and find a way to freeze him. ”

If it was in the group stage, it might cause dissatisfaction among some players in the England dressing room, but now, I am afraid that the effect will be very small.

'Of course, I'm not underestimating Gillard, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney, who are not as dangerous as the king. They are the players that many coaches want to get, but compared to Wang, they are still a little worse! ”

Park Sung-hwan couldn't stand it anymore, and he said loudly in the audience: "You better put away your thoughts about sowing discord, England won't be fooled!" ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the British reporter's impression of Park Sung-hwan suddenly changed 180 degrees.

Van Marwijk didn't have any embarrassment on his face, and said with a smile: "I'm telling the truth, and I don't have any intention of sowing discord." ”

The British journalist sneered in his heart: You go and lie to the ghost! (To be continued.) )
