Belgium's regular pre-match press conference lasted about fifteen minutes, ten of which were devoted to praising the Dutch team's total offense and defense and the strength of star Van Kerry, so much so that many Dutch media reporters felt bright in their faces and in their hearts. smug.

Three hours later, these words reached the ears of Dutch coach Van Basten and captain Van Kerry, but the effect was not what Martinez imagined.

Van Basten's coaching resume is not rich enough, but he has had a glorious career and a fairly long coaching career. It can be heard that this is a sign of weakness from the Belgian head coach Martinez in order to make his side take it lightly and thereby profit from it. , I became more cautious.

Van Carey's coaching career is not rich enough, but he has a clear mind and will not be easily deceived by others. When interviewed by the media, he used every trick and pretended to have won the sugar-coated bullets specially sent by Belgian coach Martinez and star Hazard.

A well-known Belgian media reporter in the press conference hall had a secret smile on his forehead and sneered in his heart:"I'll drive you crazy! You'll have to suffer when the time comes! I really look forward to seeing you eliminated from the finals."……"

The reporters from the Dutch domestic media and Chinese media heard it and took it to heart. Due to the unspoken rules of the media industry, they could not say it clearly, so they could only act anxiously.

If Fan Carey knew what they were thinking, he would definitely say: Don't panic, I am cooperating with their acting.

Van Basten still has a certain tacit understanding with Van Carey. He was aware of Van Carey's intention in saying these words, and he playfully cooperated with the media reporters, pretending to be careless.

He remembered that Fan Kairui once lost a strategy of the Celestial Dynasty - to use the trick!

Since Belgians like to play the trick of showing weakness, then we will play with you.

What's that sentence called?

Despise your opponents strategically, and value your opponents tactically!

The regular press conference before the game lasted for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Dutch coach Van Basten and captain Van Kerry entered the Zenit Arena from the internal channel for the last training session before the game. This stadium is preparing for the first semi-final of the World Cup tomorrow at 8pm.

Although the outside world is optimistic about the Dutch team advancing to the World Cup finals and even winning the World Cup, Van Basten and Van Kerry are very cautious.

There is a saying that is said a lot, the heat will kill you.

Why are the favorites eliminated?

Aren't you being misled by the outside world and underestimating the enemy?

Van Basten has already done relevant work and done enough homework for the players. With the presence of Van Kerry, who is the glory perpetual motion machine, he has absolute confidence in the impact of the World Cup championship.

But before that, you still have to adjust your mentality first.

Strategically, Belgium can be despised, but tactically it can be given absolute attention.

After all, when the World Cup reaches the semi-finals, no one can be underestimated. In addition, if you go further, you can compete for the World Cup championship. Any team comes to the semi-finals for the third or fourth place in the finals.

After more than ten minutes of warming up and stretching, Fan Kerry quickly entered into the team's simple tactical drills: common tactics such as bottom passes, center forwards, and one-kick passes.

Van Basten looked at Van Kerry's excellent form and gained greater confidence in tomorrow night's World Cup semi-finals.
