JAKARTA - The Dutch national team will face Argentina in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup. This opportunity was used by Louis van Gaal to take revenge.
The meeting on Saturday, December 10 in the morning will be the moment of the first meeting for the two of them in the last eight years. De Oranje last met Argentina in the 2014 World Cup semifinals.
In that match, both teams drew goalless for up to 120 minutes. However, Argentina managed to come out victorious through the penalty shootout round over the Netherlands 4-2 and advanced to the final.
The Dutch defeat to Argentina at that time still made an impression in Van Gaal's memory. The 71-year-old tactician then is determined to take revenge on Tim motorway in a meeting between the two teams this weekend.
Van Gaal asked his foster children to limit Lionel Messi's movement. He recognized La Pulga as a dangerous player and had high motivation to bring Argentina to victory in Qatar.
"Messi is a player who can decide the game in individual action. We played against Argentina in the 2014 semifinals, he didn't touch the ball and we lost on penalties," Van Gaal said, quoted by Marca on Wednesday, December 7.
"Now we want revenge," he concluded ahead of the Dutch versus Argentine duel.
