賽事前瞻：荷蘭VS智利
這場(chǎng)比賽被視為兩支勢(shì)不可擋的隊(duì)伍之間的交鋒。442足球網(wǎng)站的Nick Moore帶來(lái)本場(chǎng)荷蘭對(duì)陣智利爭(zhēng)奪小組頭名戰(zhàn)役的前瞻。
The lowdown
賽事前瞻
The Dutch and the Chileans have enjoyed extremely similar tournaments. They’ve each delivered a real treat of a performance against Spain: Holland’s masterclass of power, pace and individual attacking brilliance kickstarted what has a been a superb, goal-rich tournament, while Chile’s hard-pressing 2-0 win was just as exhilarating. Their at-times risky 3-4-1-2, with very high wing-backs, totally denied the holders’ ability to distribute the ball, and released some wonderful offensive link-ups.
目前為止荷蘭人和智利人在這屆大賽中愉悅地經(jīng)歷過(guò)非常相似的軌跡。他們都狠狠地把衛(wèi)冕冠軍西班牙修理了一遍：荷蘭隊(duì)大師級(jí)的進(jìn)攻結(jié)合了力量，速度和個(gè)人能力的光芒，開(kāi)啟了這屆出色的世界杯進(jìn)球多產(chǎn)的帷幕；而智利隊(duì)面對(duì)西班牙時(shí)通過(guò)高強(qiáng)度的壓迫所取得的2比0的勝利同樣令人振奮。他們那有時(shí)候很冒險(xiǎn)的，邊后衛(wèi)大舉壓上的3-4-1-2陣形，不僅使西班牙人傳球的實(shí)力全無(wú)用武之地，還使本隊(duì)踢出了一些美妙的進(jìn)攻配合。
Whether their duel outwitting of one of the world’s greatest ever teams makes them likely World Cup winners is another matter. They equally struggled to beat the lowest ranking outfit in the tournament, Australia, and appeared defensively frail against the Socceroos in spells. A 3-1 win flattered the South Americans, and the Dutch were also tormented by Mathew Leckie & Co. If a group of virtual unknowns from the A-League can wreak such havoc, what damage can Arjen Robben, Daley Blind, Arturo Vidal, Eduardo Vargas and Alexis Sanchez do to each other’s back-lines?
然而在與這支堪稱史上最強(qiáng)球隊(duì)之一的西班牙的斗智斗勇較量中取得完勝是否讓他們晉升為賽事熱門則是另一回事。同樣地，這兩支隊(duì)都費(fèi)了很大的力氣才拿下這屆賽事中的弱旅澳大利亞，而且他們的防守在面對(duì)袋鼠軍團(tuán)的時(shí)候看起來(lái)都格外脆弱。對(duì)陣澳大利亞雖然取得3比1的勝利，其實(shí)南美人在那場(chǎng)比賽中備受壓力，同樣馬修·萊基（Mathew Leckie, 澳大利亞隊(duì)球員）和他的伙伴們也讓荷蘭隊(duì)擔(dān)驚受怕。如果一群來(lái)自澳大利亞聯(lián)賽的不知名球員對(duì)這兩隊(duì)的后防都能產(chǎn)生如此大破壞，想象一下荷蘭隊(duì)的羅本，布林德（Daley Blind）和智利陣中的比達(dá)爾（Arturo Vidal），巴爾加斯（Eduardo Vargas）以及桑切斯（Alexis Sanchez）能如何于本場(chǎng)對(duì)抗中在對(duì)方防線呼風(fēng)喚雨吧。
It could be total carnage – and we certainly hope it is. With the winners of the match likely to play the second-placed qualifiers of Group A (decided later on the same day), avoiding Brazil (who face a poor Cameroon side) is the prize at stake. The Selecao have been far from at their best, but Chile tend to crumple against their continent’s top dogs, and however average the hosts have been, it’s not a fixture any manager would relish in this tournament.
這么看來(lái)這場(chǎng)完全有可能大比分——當(dāng)然作為中立觀眾我們也是這么希望的。取得本組小組第一將避開(kāi)更可能取得A組頭名的巴西（該組的最終名次爭(zhēng)奪將于當(dāng)天晚些時(shí)候進(jìn)行），此為目前重點(diǎn)為兩隊(duì)關(guān)注的問(wèn)題。盡管巴西隊(duì)還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不在他們的最佳狀態(tài)，但智利隊(duì)在這只來(lái)自本大洲的頭號(hào)熱門面前很可能被揉碎，而且不管對(duì)手多平庸，在大賽中遇上東道主總歸無(wú)法讓任何一名主教練感到舒心。
Both gaffers will therefore be all out to top the group – but with the free-play encouraging safety net of knowing they have qualified for the round of 16 anyway. The question is, what happens when two sides who play almost ludicrously high lines meet each other? Jorge Sampaoli is consistent in his love of a 5-2-1-2 come 3-4-1-2, while Louis van Gaal tinkers with similar 3-4-1-2, 4-3-3 and 5-3-2 setups.
因此兩位主帥都將會(huì)以爭(zhēng)奪小組第一的心態(tài)出現(xiàn)在場(chǎng)邊，不過(guò)已經(jīng)晉級(jí)16強(qiáng)的安全局面也會(huì)鼓勵(lì)兩支球隊(duì)更加放開(kāi)來(lái)踢。問(wèn)題是，當(dāng)這兩支踢著近乎可笑的高位防守的球隊(duì)兵戎相見(jiàn)，局面將會(huì)是怎樣的呢？智利主帥桑保利（Jorge Sampaoli）堅(jiān)持他所運(yùn)用的可在5-2-1-2和3-4-1-2間切換的陣型，與此同時(shí)荷蘭主帥范加爾則對(duì)近似的3-4-1-2，5-3-2以及4-3-3縫縫補(bǔ)補(bǔ)。
Robin van Persie’s absence after two cautions is a boost for Chile (and defender Bruno Martins Indi could also be absent through injury), while Charles Aranguiz faces a late fitness test for La Roja. With both teams in sparkling recent form (Holland have won their last four; Chile their last five), and both sets of fans going crackers – a sea of red versus a sea of orange – we couldn’t be relishing this one any more.
范佩西累積兩張黃牌停賽對(duì)于智利隊(duì)是個(gè)利好消息（荷蘭后衛(wèi)因迪也可能因傷缺陣)，而智利隊(duì)的阿蘭吉斯（Charles Aranguiz）能否披掛也要取決于賽前身體測(cè)試的結(jié)果?？紤]到兩隊(duì)最近閃亮的狀態(tài)（荷蘭隊(duì)連友誼賽已連勝4場(chǎng)，智利則是5場(chǎng)），以及雙方狂熱的球迷——看臺(tái)上象征智利的一片紅對(duì)陣荷蘭球迷的郁金香橙?！?我們?cè)谟^看這場(chǎng)比賽時(shí)的心態(tài)不能更放松了。
What the local media say
本國(guó)媒體的看法
“Despite a lousy first half against Australia, Holland got the result, and that is all that matters at this point. Holland would love to carry on playing as they did against Spain, but that cannot be expected. They need to play the ball around more quickly against Chile.” - Algemeen Dagblad, Rotterdam.
來(lái)自荷蘭鹿特丹的記者達(dá)格布拉德（Algemeen Dagblad）認(rèn)為：'' 盡管在踢澳大利亞時(shí)上半場(chǎng)很糟糕，我們還是拿到了想要的結(jié)果，而這也是在目前這個(gè)階段唯一重要的。荷蘭隊(duì)會(huì)非常樂(lè)意能持續(xù)踢西班牙時(shí)的狀態(tài)，不過(guò)那樣的表現(xiàn)可遇不可求啊。對(duì)陣智利時(shí)他們需要把球運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)得更快一些。”
“We want to win the group, but the really important work now comes in the knockout stages. The idea is to do to opponents what we did to Spain. There are a huge amount of Chilean fans out in Brazil and that can only help.” - El Mercurio, Santiago.
智利圣地亞哥的埃爾默庫(kù)里奧（El Mercurio）則表示：'' 我們希望贏得小組頭名，不過(guò)現(xiàn)在真正至關(guān)緊要的活兒其實(shí)是淘汰賽。我們的想法是踢出像對(duì)陣西班牙時(shí)一樣的足球。現(xiàn)在有大量智利球迷來(lái)到了巴西，他們將對(duì)國(guó)家隊(duì)起到提振作用。''
Key battle: Wesley Sneijder vs Marcelo Diaz
核心對(duì)決：斯內(nèi)德 VS 迪亞斯
Chile play a genuine team game, working together as a unit, but Charles Aranguiz is the epitome of their rapid-pressing, quick-breaking philosophy. Should he be fit, Aranguiz will be vital when it comes to denying the Dutch midfield time, but in his absence Diaz will step in as enforcer and hustler-in-chief. The Basel man did a proper job on David Silva in the Spain clash, and will look to shackle the Dutch midfield scamperer in this one.
智利隊(duì)踢的是真正的團(tuán)隊(duì)足球，像一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)那樣運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，不過(guò)阿蘭吉斯是他們高強(qiáng)度壓迫，快速反擊的足球哲學(xué)的代表性人物。如果他無(wú)恙，他將承擔(dān)起阻擊荷蘭中場(chǎng)的任務(wù)，在他缺陣情況下迪亞斯將成為那臺(tái)主要的中場(chǎng)絞肉機(jī)。這位效力于巴塞爾的球員在對(duì)陣西班牙的比賽中把席爾瓦盯得很死，而這次他將致力于給荷蘭中場(chǎng)的亂跑流施加束縛。
Sneijder, one of the best players at World Cup 2010, hasn’t quite looked at his mercurial best this summer so far, having a quiet game against the Aussies and being strangely anonymous in the Spain match, which often saw the Holland defence launching balls over the top of him. Nevertheless, he remains the Dutch creative fulcrum, and will cleverly feed the likes of Blind and Robben when given the chance.
作為2010世界杯的最佳球員之一，斯內(nèi)德在這個(gè)夏天到目前為止看起來(lái)還沒(méi)有達(dá)到他的巔峰狀態(tài)，在于澳大利亞的比賽中不聲不響，而在對(duì)陣西班牙時(shí)也是不尋常地沒(méi)有什么作為，經(jīng)常目睹球從本隊(duì)后方被直接運(yùn)送到前場(chǎng)，略過(guò)了他的組織。無(wú)論如何，他依然是荷蘭陣中提供創(chuàng)造力的支柱，并且將會(huì)在機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)臨的時(shí)候聰明地把球輸送到邊路布林德和羅本的腳下。
