Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal claimed he wanted Tim Krul for the penalty shootout against Argentina on Wednesday.

据442足球网站报道，周三（10日）赛后，荷兰主帅范加尔表示后悔没有派擅长扑点球的门将克鲁尔上场。

Van Gaal was hailed as a genius after bringing on Krul for regular goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen in Netherlands' penalty shootout victory over Costa Rica in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup but did not repeat the move versus Argentina, having already used his three subs.

范加尔曾在与哥斯达黎加的点球大战前用克鲁尔换下门将希勒森，正是克鲁尔的神勇表现帮助荷兰队成功杀进四强，范加尔的神来之笔也被人们称道。而今天对阵阿根廷的比赛，奇迹没能复制，范加尔早早地用完了三个换人名额，以致在点球大战中无法再次派上奇兵克鲁尔。

In the first period of extra-time, Van Gaal used his final substitution in an attacking move, bringing on Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for Robin van Persie but the 62-year-old admitted afterwards he would have liked to bring on Krul for the shootout.

加时赛上半场，范加尔就用完了最后一个换人名额，他用亨特拉尔换下了体力不支的范佩西，提升在进攻端的火力，但赛后他承认若还有机会，他一定会派克鲁尔上场。

"If I could've substituted him [Cillessen] with Krul, then I would've done. I reached penalties with no more substitutions left," Van Gaal said at his post-match media conference.

“如果我还有机会用克鲁尔换下他（希勒森），我会这么做的。但可惜的是，当时我已经用完了三个换人名额。”范加尔在赛后的新闻发布会上说道。

Van Gaal attempted to deflect attention from his failure to save a sub for Krul by dismissing the shootout as "a matter of luck", while he also jokingly took credit for the two saves of Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero, who he coached at AZ Alkmaar.

范加尔试图转移大家对于没有派克鲁尔上场扑点球的注意力，将失败归结于运气成分，同时也自嘲道成功扑出荷兰队两粒点球的阿根廷门将罗梅罗是自己调教的结果，范加尔此前曾执教过罗梅罗效力的阿尔克马尔俱乐部，两人有过合作的经历。

"Of course penalties are a matter of luck too. And I taught Romero how to save penalties," he said.But Van Gaal praised his team for a "marvellous tournament" and argued they had gone much further than anyone had expected.

“当然点球胜出有需要很大的运气，要知道罗梅罗扑点球还是我教的。”但是范加尔称赞他的球队踢了一届伟大的世界杯，认为他们已经取得了外界没有预想到的成绩。

"Holland played a marvellous tournament," the future Manchester United manager said.

“荷兰队这届世界杯表现很出色，”这位下赛季即将执教曼联的主帅说道。

"Nobody could've imagined we'd come this far.

“没有人能想到我们能走到今天。”

"Argentina are a world class side with world class players and I'd like to point out we didn't lose against them."

“阿根廷是一支世界级的球队，巨星云集，我想强调我们没有输掉与阿根廷的比赛。”

Van Gaal could not resist a dig at Brazil either, after the hosts were destroyed by Germany in the other semi-final on Tuesday: "I think that losing 7-1 is worse than losing on penalties."

范加尔也没忘了挖苦巴西队一番，说到桑巴军团周二半决赛大比分败给德国队，范加尔说：“我认为1: 7失败比点球大赛失利的伤更痛。”
