Van Gaal Want to take revenge on Argentina. Messi hopes to continue his last dance
In the early morning, the old enemy Holland will play against Argentina at Lucerne Stadium.
The Netherlands and Argentina have played against each other five times in the history of the World Cup, and they have a lot of connections, including a penalty shootout, an overtime finale, and a draw. The other two Netherlands defeated Argentina in regular time. But the most recent game was the 2014 World Cup knockout stage, and Argentina won with a penalty kick.
In the group stage, the Netherlands did not lose with their tenacious performance. In the last round of the game, they easily defeated the US team with their strong strength. They have the most valuable defense line in this game led by Van Dyke. At the same time, the young player Garkebo was also stunning in the attack line, and even the newly comeback Depp has recovered its form.
Dutch striker Memphis Depp said in an interview that although he did not have the experience of winning the penalty shootout in the competition, the whole team has the confidence to do it and hope to end the game within 90 minutes as much as possible.

In comparison, Argentina is a bit worrying. Although their condition improved after the upset in the group stage and they won consecutive victories, judging from the last round of the game against Australia, they were not easy to face Australia.Argentina's attacking line is older and relies more on the speed of Alvarez and Acunia to open a breakthrough. Facing the Dutch team with a strong defense line, although Dutch coach Van Gaal and Argentine coach Scaloni said before the game that they would not drag the game into a penalty shootout, as the situation changes, the game is likely to become a contest of physical strength and willpower.
Argentine midfielder Alexis McAllister said that the focus of the game is to advance, and it doesn’t matter whether it depends on overtime or penalty kicks.
