The Netherlands is already dreaming of the “Droomfinale tegen Duitsland”, but Uruguay will take the favorite in the semifinals to case. The hopes of the rest on elftal Arjen Robben.

Arjen Robben and dream with him the whole of the Netherlands “Droomfinale tegen Duitsland”, but outsiders will provide Uruguay with Orange for a rude awakening. “It is a party to which we have no invitation. But we can blow up the party”, said “Uru” coach Oscar Tabarez before the semi-final in Cape Town on Tuesday (20.30 clock / ZDF and Sky live).

Uruguay is the first time since 1970 in the top four after 80 years and wants to be second in the final. “We have a dream – and we will dream this dream,” said Tabarez. But in the final, made it clear seals will meet the elftal and Germany. “This is my dream final”, the star of Bayern Munich, said before the tournament – and now his dream is within reach.

Seal of the “new Cruyff”
When trying to achieve, for the third time after 1974 and 1978 finals, hopes rest on special seals. The magazine Voetbal International called him on his website even as the ‘new Cruyff’. Robben knows what is expected of him: “It is time that we fully utilize our potential in a big tournament last time” – the first time and get the title.

For in the final against the DFB-Elf said Robben, there can be only one winner. “We have to win, or I need at Bayern did not arrive. Then I can find a new club,” he says. Robben and Mark van Bommel teammate are for days with their German counterparts Bayern in contact, it blossoms of flax.

Coach Bert van Marwijk Bond warns against the supposedly easy task against the ailing Celeste contrast to the concentration. “Germany or Spain – and I’m still not. We have the experience but Schonmal, we must think only of the European Championship,” he says. 2008 was the Netherlands after dream football and wins against Italy and France favorite – and failed in the quarterfinals to Russia. “We all thought that we are European champions, and then,” said van Marwijk.

Therefore, he has drummed into his players to take seriously Uruguay. “This time must run it differently,” he says. And the belief that what happens is great. “Until now, the players have proved that they follow me in this matter,” said van Marwijk.

Sneijder hopes for top scorer
Oranje played in South Africa, although not outstanding, but still confident. In particular, Robben and Wesley Sneijder, who has three titles with Inter Milan as the last player has the chance of a trophy number four, convinced. After four matches so far should also hope Sneijder still on the top scorer.

Against Uruguay with the lack of yellow card blocked Nigel de Jong and Gregory van der Wiel, however, two important players. They will be replaced by Demy de Zeeuw and Stuttgart’s Khalid Boulahrouz. HSV’s Joris Mathijsen and striker Robin van Persie has recovered and can play. But van Marwijk has great respect. “The players of Uruguay are survival artists,” he says.

“Handball” must watch Luis Suarez
Because it is locked “handball” Luis Suarez after his deliverance from the Ghanaians and the subsequent red card, Uruguay’s hopes rest on Diego Forlan. “Diego is extremely dangerous,” says John Heitinga, with Atletico Madrid team-mate, once at the Cape of three successful attacker. Suarez will encourage his colleagues, however, from the stands. “We have no fear, our goal is the title,” he says. It would be the third after 1930 and 1950, when there was no final, but only one final round.

Besides missing Suarez Jorge Fucile (Yellow lock) and the injured Nicolas Lodeiro, captain Diego Lugano could be fit in time. “No matter who is playing against the Netherlands, we will deliver a good match,” promises Lugano.
