Well-known expert Vsevolod Kevlich spoke about Friday's quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
"The Brazilian national team is a world champion in terms of unrealized potential. With the biggest roster possible, these guys successfully grind out moments, prospects and, ultimately, trophies. Happy people don't sulk. The success of the Croatians is due to the coaching. Moreover, no one believed in this success after the missed ball. But, but...
I didn't really understand Holland. The match against Argentina revealed this team in its entirety. Somewhere like the Croats, the Dutch clearly understand what they are capable of. And the free kick in the last added minute is a model of understanding and training direction. In general, this match is the best thing that we love football for. The quality of the countermeasures was no less high than the actions themselves. One thing is not clear - why is the goalkeeper so tall on the penalty shootout, if he does not catch mice at all?"
