Netherlands vs Argentina preview: World Cup 2022 quarter-final

Who: Argentina vs Netherlands
Where: Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar
When: Friday, December *, 2022, 10 pm (19:00 GMT)

The tantalising clash between two of the great brigades of world football at the,000- capacity Lusail Stadium comes after Lionel Scaloni’s men edged past Australia *- * in the last 16 and his expert counterpart Louis van Gaal led the Dutch to a *- * palm over the USA.

“It’s going to be a very beautiful game, with two historic teams. Sadly one team has to lose and we hope it’s us who go through,” Argentina’s coach Lionel Scaloni told journalists last Sunday.

“We face a difficult opponent, like all of them, and we hope to do well. Maybe they are not shining like past Dutch teams, but they are very clear in what they do.” Lionel Messi, Argentina’s captain, and amulet, was also clear on Sunday about the task ahead.

“They have great players and a great coach, it’s going to be hard-fought,” he said, a day after scoring against Australia in his *,000th career appearance.

The 35- time-old’s influence in Qatar has grown game by game. Messi has scored three pretensions so far, and he now stands just three triumphs down from delivering Argentina a third World Cup jewel.

Messi’s decreasingly emotional performances have checked with Argentina’s growing elevation as the event has developed, putting aside an opening shock *- * defeat to Saudi Arabia to win three games on the brio since also, scoring five pretensions and conceding just formerly in the process.

The Netherlands, meanwhile, will be concentrated on benumbing Messi in a tourney that will crop the fine forward against Virgil van Dijk – the Netherlands ’ colossal captain and one of the world’s stylish center-tails – while causing Scaloni’s charges problems of their own.

Van Gaal’s side has been buoyed by the return to fitness of skillful bushwhacker Memphis Depay and the continued good form of frontman Cody Gakpo, who has netted three times in Qatar.

Analogous to the strategy they employed against the USA, the Dutch may be happy to again concede control of the ball for long stretches and hang on the counterattack, exposing any spaces left at the reverse by La Albiceleste.

Van Gaal has been under pressure in Qatar since declaring the Oranje were able of getting world titleholders for the first time. He has also faced review over his side’s alleged traditionalism, with Dutch brigades traditionally known for further extensive football.
But the performance against the USA was a notable demonstration of what the Netherlands can produce, with Depay’s opening thing, which came on the reverse of a majestic 21- pass sequence, a graphic memorial of their quality.

Van Dijk said on Wednesday that his platoon has the hunger and the desire to go all the way in Qatar. “We just want to go out there and show our quality, show the team spirit, show the togetherness that we have and progress, hopefully, to the next stage,” he told journalists.

The winners of Friday’s battle will face either Brazil or Croatia in the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup.

By now, probably all of us have seen snaps from the recent photo of Mubashshira Kamal Era's ballet dance in front of Raju Memorial Sculpture of Dhaka University (DU) on social media.

It is now trending on social media as critics are sharing their views on it. Certainly, we have seen some of them too, but how much do we know about ballet dance?

Ballet is an art form created by the movement of the human body. It is theatrical, which means it's performed on a stage to an audience utilizing costumes, scenic design, and lighting. Ballet can narrate a story or voice a thought, concept, or sentiment. Ballet dance can be magical, exciting, provoking, and sometimes disturbing.

Ballet originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century. It originated from the upper class of the society, mainly from their lavish events, especially wedding celebrations. In the 16th century, Catherine de Medici — an Italian noblewoman, wife of King Henry II of France, began to fund ballet in the French court. Her enchanting festivals boosted the blossoming of ballet de cour, a program that possessed dance, decor, costume, song, music, and poetry.

A century later, King Louis XIV helped to popularize and standardize ballet. By 1661, a dance academy had opened in Paris, and in 1681 ballet shifted from the courts to the stage. The French opera 𝘓𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦 𝘭’𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘳 incorporated ballet elements, forming a long-standing opera-ballet tradition in France. Early classical ballets such as 𝘎𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 and 𝘓𝘢 𝘚𝘺𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘦 originated during the Romantic Movement in the first half of the 19th century.

In the early part of the 20th century, Russian choreographers Sergei Diaghilev and Michel Fokine began to experiment with movement and costume, moving beyond the confines of classical ballet form and story. He introduced what is now known as neoclassical ballet, an expansion on the classical form. He also is regarded by many as the grandest innovator of the contemporary “plotless” ballet. With no definite storyline, its aim is to use movement to depict the music and to illustrate human emotion and endeavor.

Today, ballet is multi-faceted. Classical forms, traditional stories, and contemporary choreographic innovations intertwine to produce the character of modern ballet.

We can also see various categories of ballet - story ballets, plotless ballets, and different styles among them - classical, neoclassical, and contemporary. In the second part, we will dive into these categories and styles.
