Croatia VS Brazil
2022-12-09 23 points
broke into the quarterfinals, which is a "huge" achievement in the view of Croatian coach Dalic. In the starting lineup that lost to France in the last World Cup final, only four started to participate in the round of 16 against Japan.
"This is a brand new national team. Compared with the team four years ago, we have 18 brand new players." Dalichi said, "The national team in 2018 is a mature team. They have played together for 10 years. They play in the best leagues and the best clubs."
So, Dalichi believes that he can enter the quarterfinals and Croatia has achieved success. "This is an amazing achievement. We are one of the eight best teams. Of course, we still need time to mature."
Croatia eliminated Japanese team through a penalty shootout - the first 4 games, with 1 win and 4 draws in regular time, scoring 5 goals and conceding 2 goals, showing strong tenacity.
defender Sosa missed the game against the Japanese team, but he has resumed training, and full-back Stanisic needs to undergo pre-match assessment. Overall, Croatia is trapped by the problem of age structure. The team is based on defense and lacks sustainability in offense, but has the ability to output for a period of time.
Brazilian coach Tit At the pre-match press conference, he spent more time on the team's dancing issues. "I will not comment on those who do not understand Brazil's history, culture and lifestyle, nor do I discredit other cultures. This is our way of life."
In Tit's view, the team will not give up dancing and celebrating as long as they continue to score goals. This is a culture of Brazilian football . "We will continue our way."
Brazil has won 3 wins and 1 lost in the past 4 World Cup games, scoring 7 goals and conceded 2 goals. The team should be said to be the most popular favorite to win the championship, with sharp offense and very stable defense.
Nemar's comeback greatly connects the offensive team in the frontcourt, making the team's offense smoother. The team's problem is the left-back position, Tres retired from injury, and Sandro also suffered a hip injury in the group stage.
The two teams have faced each other four times, and Brazil has remained unbeaten with 3 wins and 1 draw. Croatia lost 4 games in five matches against South American teams in the World Cup, and the only victory was the last World Cup group stage 3-0 Argentina.
After defeating Germany in the 2002 World Cup final 2-0, Brazil lost against European teams in the last five World Cup knockout matches. Starting from European Cup in 2008, Croatia played overtime in 7 of the eight knockout matches in major events.
The initial value of Croatia +1.25 goals is given, and then it becomes a low value of +1.5 goals. There are also initially given the medium and high value of +1.25 goals in Croatia, and then it becomes the ultra-high value of +1.25 goals.
Judging from the last game, many veterans in Croatia fought until overtime, and their physical fitness was extremely exhausted, which also limited their performance against Brazil.
On the other hand, Croatia does not have enough offensive capabilities and the front line lacks breakthrough and restraining capabilities. If the Brazilian team performs normally, their strong offense and defense overall strength should be able to win the game smoothly.
This game is optimistic that Croatia will lose, and the reference scores are: 0-2, 0-3, 1-2.
Netherlands VS Argentina

Van Gaal The Netherlands coached by this World Cup is the most stable team, thanks to their solid defense line.
The outside world's impression of Dutch football has also reached a time to change. Orange Legion no longer has the sharp winger and efficient center in the past, and the newcomer Garkebo has become the only hope for the Dutch forward.
Of course, in the first round of the knockout match against the United States, the status of Depp has also improved, but this is generally not the number among the giant teams.
Van Gaal should have understood the actual situation of the team, so he was very pragmatic and chose the three central defender system - Timber, Van Dijk and Ak, and wingbacks Brind and Dumfries also have strong assisting abilities.
Previously, Van Gaal handed over the ball and fought back with peace of mind when facing the United States. Then, facing Argentina, I think Van Gaal will do the same and handed over the ball to Messi and his friends, and only needs the efficiency of offense and defense conversion.
In fact, this routine is understandable - as strong as England, he also relied on to counterattack with defense against . This is also the idea of Deschamps to lead France to the top in 2018.
Argentina will lead the offense in this game. Scaloni straightened out the midfield and brought McAllister and Enzo into the starter, but the injury of Di Maria has reduced Argentina's attack power.
In addition, whether it is the first group stage game or the knockout match against Australia, Sevilla 's Gomez has no ability to play games at all. I believe that with the grudges of Manchester United in , Di Maria would have the intention to play. Of course, he is already old and now has the ability to play for 60 minutes. In the game of
defeating Australia, Lautaro came on the bench and completed the continuous spitting of Lukaku , which is even more embarrassing. In fact, when playing Australia, the first goal was a bit surprising. If it weren't for the Otamendi's 's stop-stop error, it was just right to stop the ball in front of Messi, whether Argentina could break the deadlock is a question.
The Netherlands's solid defense line should still have the ability to resist the Argentine attack line.
Argentina gave up 0.25 in this game, and there is still some Messi effect. Judging from the balance of offense and defense, especially the experience of the head coach, I believe that Van Gaal's team will not be defeated within 90 minutes.
This game is safe to choose the Netherlands to be unbeaten. The sports lottery will choose to win, refer to the scores 1-1 and 1-0.
