The Netherlands (Holland) national football team will be playing against the Chile for the last time in the group stage round, which will kick off at 12PM EST on Monday, June 22nd, at the Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil. Both football clubs saw their triumph against the Spain and Australia on their respective opening games, as well as in the second round of matches in the Group B. With both teams, Netherlands and Chile, have 6-points each and are already qualified for the round of last 16 knockout stage, they will still need to face against each other to determine who will lead the in Group B and represent the’1B’ that will play with the ’2A’ second placer from the Group A in the knock out rounds of World Cup 2014, which is scheduled to take place in June 29th.
The Netherlands footballers are full of confident in this game due to they are already qualified to advance in the next stage of the tournament even though the team captain Robin van Persie, who’s also playing as forward striker for Manchester United F.C., will miss today’s match. Persie to serve out in this match before the round of 16 knockout stage kick off. He was cautioned and given one yellow card each during Holland’s opening match against Spain, as well as on their second game with Aussies.
It is also likely that Netherland’s team manager and coaches will decide to rest the 22 year-old defender Bruno Martins Indi, who suffered from a concussion during their face off against the Australians. The aforementioned European team will prioritize getting him back in 100% good condition and fit to play for their campaign in the next stage. As for now, we can say that the Holland’s concerns is all about their strategic plan to have their players’ refuel their body condition 100% ready and fit to play for the round of 16 stage.
Meanwhile, The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) FIFA World Cup Finals qualified Chile could rest out midfielders Charles Aranguiz and Arturo Vidal, as both footballers have slight knocks and have a yellow card to their names already. They will not want to risk another yellow today and have them suspended for the knock out stages.
