There are only 8 teams left in Qatar. The whole world expects a mighty clash between Argentina and the Netherlands, but if you ask Rafael Van der Vaart, it will be a piece of cake for his former teammates. Former Real Madrid player is an interesting man, he always says something unusual, he doesn’t use boring phrases, he’s not one of those people who talks a lot and doesn’t say anything. Now, the fact that many people don’t like what he says is another matter.Good old times when Assou-Ekotto and Van der Vaart had a fight in the showersHolland is waiting for a duel with Argentina, which is carried by an army of fans with stands, the biggest “army” in Doha, but all that is not so important for Van der Vaart.“It will be easy. It will be 3:0 for the Netherlands. Messi has once again shown himself in this World Cup, but the people around him are not so excellent.” Rafael van der Vaart said in Dutch TV commentary.Van Gaal reveals why Holland has a chance, and it’s because of MessiAfter an experience he had against Messi while playing in Real Madrid, the Dutchman thinks that Holland shouldn’t strictly mark the Argentinian ace.”We sent Sergio Ramos to follow Messi. If Messi goes in any direction, Ramos has to go that way. If Messi goes to the bathroom? You have to follow him. After the game, Ramos was teased. It was difficult to coach him. Maybe it’s better for us not to try to tutor Messi. Now, he is slower and walks more. But he can still make decisive passes. However, I think the Netherlands can now block them” said Van Den Vaart.Louis van Gaal unimpressed with Brazil: I read that they played beautifuly, our goal was betterAnother Dutch legend, Marco Van Basten has a different opinion. He wants a strict player on Messi all the time.“If we have a player to accompany Messi for 90 minutes, we have to do it. Italy did it with Maradona. Without Messi, Argentina is much worse. Jurrien Timber can do it. Messi was completely defenseless when he lost the ball. Then Argentina would be in a 10 against 11” said Van Basten.##NAJAVA_MECA_6871887##
