1February 9 at 23: 00 Croatia VS Brazil
It is not difficult for Brazil to pass the customs.
The two sides had a confrontation in the opening match of the 20 14 World Cup, and the host Brazil defeated Croatia 3-0. Compared with eight years ago, Brazil has already completed the alternation of old and new. At first glance, the current Brazilian team does not have the dream of the Brazilian team led by the "3R" who won the World Cup in Korea and Japan in 2002, but its players are average in strength, flexible in tactics and very powerful in fighting capacity.
1/8 final against south Korea, Neymar came back from injury, not only launched a team attack in series, but also scored a penalty to help Brazil win 4-/kloc-0. On the attack line, vinicius, Rodrigo, Rafinha and other wingers have strong impact, which will put great pressure on the Croatian team.
As the runner-up in the last World Cup, aging is the hidden worry of Croatia-the penalty shoot-out of Japan, and the average age of Croatia's starting lineup is close to 30 years old. At the same time, the team's attacks are all initiated by 37-year-old modric, so it is easy to be targeted.
"Brazil is by far the best team. They have excellent lineup depth. They are an excellent team, so powerful that people are afraid, which is a huge test for us. " Croatian coach Dalic praised his opponent. "Even so, we are not afraid of them. We are full of confidence in ourselves."
1February 10 3: 00 Netherlands VS Argentina
Dutch super defense line tests Messi
Argentina led by Messi is very popular, but its performance in this World Cup is a bit stumbling. In the final of 1/8, Australia narrowly beat Australia by only 2-0/kloc-0. If it weren't for goalkeeper Martinez's surprise attack, Australia might even equalize the score.
The performance of the Netherlands was very stable, with 2 wins 1 draw in the group stage and a 3-0 1 8 win over the United States in the final. Dutch coach Fan Jiaer said: "I hope we can beat Argentina. Anything is possible. We are not without opportunities. We still have an account to settle with Argentina. " In the semi-final of the World Cup in 20 14, the Netherlands was eliminated by Argentina 2-4 through penalty shoot-out. At that time, the Dutch coach was Fan Jiaer.
Messi has performed well in the first four games, but the Argentine team has never found the most suitable combination to give him effective support, especially lautaro's failure to score goals is worrying. Against Holland, Argentina may change its formation. It is reported that Argentina coach Scalogni changed his team formation from 433 to 442 in training and practiced a new tactical system.
The Dutch team's attack power is not as gorgeous as the previous "Orange Legion", but the defense system composed of super central defenders such as Van Dyke and Aker is very stable, and several midfielders also have strong strangulation ability. It is foreseeable that Messi will face great difficulties in this game. Penalty shoot-out has a good chance in this game.
1February 10 at 23: 00 Morocco VS Portugal
Portugal has the ability to become a new champion.
The African team Morocco is the biggest dark horse in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. 1/8 final, Morocco and Spain played a penalty shootout and finally won. At present, the team is in full swing.
In the final of 1/8 against Switzerland, Portuguese coach Santos arranged Cristiano Ronaldo to play as a substitute, and the effect was very obvious. Portugal won 6: 1 and scored a hat trick to replace Cristiano Ronaldo's 2 1 year-old teenager Ramos, showing a strong attack. 1/4 finals, Ronaldo may continue to play as a substitute.
Among the recognized strong teams in this World Cup, Portugal is probably the most despised one. In fact, the only difference between this team and other teams, such as Britain, France, Pakistan and Afghanistan, is the lack of a world champion title. In Qatar, the Portuguese have the ability to become new world champions. The midfield composed of Fernandez, Silva, Felix, etc. is the biggest advantage of the Portuguese team. All of them can pass and control, and they are very imaginative. On the striker line, Ramos should continue to start. In case the situation cannot be opened, Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely come off the bench and inject strong spirit into the team.
Of course, the Moroccan team can't be underestimated. The players in the middle and backcourt all play for the European giants, and their personal ability is very strong. The Portuguese team will encounter strong blocking and is expected to win a small victory.
1February 1 1 3: 00, France VS England.
England's "wolf tactics" hit the opponent.
In the four1quarter finals, England's match against France, the last champion, became the finale.
French left winger Mbappé has become the best player in this World Cup so far, contributing five goals and two assists. Seven of France's nine goals are directly related to him, making him a popular candidate for the Golden Globe Award. Gill, the center, became the top scorer in the history of the French team. Gleizman had excellent offensive and defensive skills in the front waist, and Dembele, the right winger, also performed well.
In England, 1/8 defeated Senegal 3-0 in the final, and it was full of firepower on the offensive end. At present, England has scored 12 goals, which is the team that has scored the most in this World Cup so far. Compared with Mbappé's strength, the English wingers Saka, Forden and Rachford are lacking in finishing ability, but their assault and involvement ability are not bad at all. Judging from the previous games, head coach southgate intends to let the wealthy attacking players take turns to play, with strong running ability to crush opponents. Coupled with the tandem of midfielder Bellingham and center Kane, the English flank assault will bring great pressure to the French defence.
The last time the two strong teams met in the competition was the 20 12 European Cup group match, and the two teams drew with 1 ratio 1.
