a dream semi-final could be on the cards,
as Brazil’s fiercest Rivals Argentina
await. but first Lionel Messi and Company
will have to pass their toughest test
off the tournament . so far as the
two-time world champions take on the
Dutch . naturally all the focus is around
one man heading into the quarterfinal.
Leonel Messi has enjoyed a fine
tournament so far and scored three goals.
one of them was against Australia in the
round of 16 his first ever in The
Knockout stages of a World Cup. there is
a growing feeling in the Argentina camp
that , this just might be their year. after
the shop defeat to Saudi Arabia in the
opener . the South American Champions have
regrouped and now faced their Old World
Cup Rivals . whom they beat in the
semi-finals back in 2014 on penalties.
Lewis van Gaal, who is the coach of the
Dutch team on that occasion and revenge
is on his mind.
I hope we win against Argentina , we still
have a chance to win the World Cup,
anything is possible . we still have an
account to settle against them, since we
were knocked out in the semi-finals of
the 2014 World Cup.
so it would be nice, if we win this time.
the Netherlands missed the World Cup in
2018 but have impressed on their return
to the global stage. their best
performance came against a talented
American side in the round of 16. the
Dodge ran out 3-1 winners in that match.
and although they are riding High,
Captain Virgil Van dijk knows that
messian company will pose a completely
different challenge.
well first and foremost about one of the
best plays of all time maybe Leo Messi,
obviously is he’s done it for so many
years.
I would say him and Cristiano Ronaldo
have been, you know the two stand-up
players of the last two decades and
there’s only respect towards what, what
they achieved and for us . now obviously
is not the case of preparing just for
him . we’re preparing to beat Argentina
and obviously , we know how big of a party
is of their success
over the years.
