Chapter 119 Mystery Revealed

Before the third round of the final battle, the qualifying situation was also confusing. Except for Australia's negligible chance of qualifying, the other three teams are relatively optimistic.

After two fierce battles, Germany and Ghana joined hands to qualify, and the battle between the Boateng brothers finally ended with the victory of their younger brother.

Since the World Cup was held, all kinds of strange things have happened. Stankovic was able to play the World Cup for three national teams. It was incredible before, but it also became a reality due to the drastic changes in the country's geopolitics. Another interesting event occurred in Germany's game against Ghana, the second time in the World Cup. The spectacle of the brothers and their masters appeared, the younger brother Jerome. Boateng plays for Germany, while his brother Kevin. Prince. Boateng plays for Ghana.

Unlike the Wright brothers, the Boateng brothers are very different in appearance. In fact, in addition to Ghana's father, each of them has a German mother. Of course, the brother is still a brother, but it can only be called half-brother.

relatively speaking, Jerome's experience playing for the German team is very smooth. Since the German U16 national team, he has played for the German team of all ages and became a member of the 2009 U21 European Championship champion team. Last year, he played for the first time on behalf of the national team and Russia. He was sent off in the game, but this did not make him disappear from the German team's list. With his stable performance in Hamburg, he still won the favor of Llev.

The story of Big Boateng was relatively entangled a lot. Until the U19 national team, he took the same path as his brother Jerome, but at the U21 level, it was with the then U21 coach Ditter. Eltz had a serious conflict, which affected his journey to the highest national team.

In fact, looking back, this matter may not be so serious. In the final analysis, the absolute key factor is its performance in the club. Kevin. Boateng has been transferred to the Premier League since 2007, but it can only be described as a failure in the two seasons of Tottenham Hotspur. He did not perform well in the half season when he returned to Dortmund on loan, directly cutting off his chance to appear in the World Cup in Germany, so he did not wait to announce that he would play for Ghana.

It can be seen from the above introduction that his brother's positioning is lower than his younger brother's, but because of the different strength of the two national teams and Esssin's injury, Big Boaten is the absolute main force in Ghana, starting all three games, and with the needs of the game, he gradually promoted from defensive back to attacking front midfielder.

Little Boateng is a substitute central defender of the German team and can also play the position of full-back. Through this game, he has just completed his World Cup debut, but Löv's use in this game is a little unexpected. He directly started as a left-back. It is not ruled out that Lough has the intention to let his brothers meet and make history.

I don't know whether it was a tactical arrangement or deliberately avoided. In this game, Big Boateng mainly attacked the right side of the German team, while Little Boateng defended the left side on the field. There was a chance for the two to meet, but there was almost no one-on-one confrontation with each other. Most of the scenes had passed the ball away before they reached the front. There have been collisions when they are stuck with each other.

and the fierce match between Kaka and Degan at the 2006 World Cup seemed to be much more bland, but after the Wright brothers, the duel between the Boateng brothers on the World Cup stage is also destined to last forever in the history of the World Cup.

Brother duel is just a gimmick in this game. Although it is eye-catching, it is not destined to be the theme of the game. In this game, the Germans finally laughed to the end, and it was Ozil who led them to victory.

If Ozil in the first game of the group stage and the Australian match is just a new engine for the German team, then today Ozil is more like the savior of the German team.

In South Africa, Ballack's injury gave Ozil the best opportunity. The team can change the tactics surrounding Barak's attack, and the biggest beneficiary of this change is Ozil.

In the last game against Serbia, Ozil played poorly, which also made the German team lose their brains and regulations.

In this life-and-death battle with Ghana, although Ozil missed several opportunities in the first half of the game, when the game reached the 60th minute, Ozil used a world wave to save himself and also saved the German team, Thomas. Mueller continuously cooperated with Ram on the right side and cut a low pass, and Ozil stopped the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area, followed by a semi-air volley with his left foot, and the football went straight into the net against the left post.

Ozil's performance in this World Cup is enough to surprise German football. Thinking about the original German team, whether it is Littbarsky or later Hasler and Sauer, they are typical technical flow. Their skills are delicate and flexible in ball control, but since Sauer, the Germans have never really The core of the technical flow organization.

Even since the 2002 World Cup, Barak, who has gradually become the backbone of the team, is not this type of player. For this type of player, the German team has been waiting for more than 10 years.

Now, 22-year-old Ozil has made German fans completely forget Barak, who missed the World Cup due to injury. The trust in Loeb, Ozil's return performance can be described as almost perfectly. More importantly, his goal also helped Germany successfully break out of the group.

Of course, young Ozil also has his own shortcomings, such as lack of physical fitness. Ozil has shown a physical overdraft in the final stage of the second half. In addition, Ozil needs to increase his ability to seize opportunities. Whether it is a big victory over Australia or against Ghana, Ozil has had a direct experience. Facing the goalkeeper's one-on-one opportunity, Ozil didn't grasp it. If it is a more critical game, once this opportunity appears, missed or wasted, it may be "punished" in subsequent games.

As Ozil's performance in the World Cup is getting better and better, the German Turkish player has attracted the attention of the Premier League.

According to British media, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all intending to introduce Ozil, whose value has risen to 20 million euros from 4.5 million euros two years ago.

I believe that after this night, both Lev and the German team can be more determined. Ozil is the absolute core of this German team. When the team needs to attack, give the ball to Ozil.

At the same time, although they failed to qualify for the group in another game, the Australian team left South Africa as the winner. The Kangaroo Legion played blood and dignity, although they were defeated.

Due to the 0-4 defeat to Germany in the first round of the group stage and the next difficult draw with Ghana, Australia's hope of qualifying has been minimal. They must defeat Serbia in the last round of the group stage to break out.

This goal is obviously very difficult for Australians. In contrast, Serbia only needs to defeat Australia to qualify, but the two teams on the field, Australia is more like a fighter to fight to the end.

In the first half of the game, Serbia suppressed Australia, but in the face of few opportunities, the Australians had no choice.

In the second half, the Australian team began to use their running and speed to create opportunities. At this time, the hero Cahill stood up again and scored a header against Vidic in 69 minutes. Four minutes later, Holman, who came on as a substitute, knocked on the Serbian door again with a long shot more than 30 meters away from the door.

At this time, the Australians seem to see the hope of promotion, because if Australia score another goal and Germany beats Ghana on another court, Australia will advance.

Australia began to launch a crazy attack on Serbia. In the face of fate, the Australians chose to fight and exchange unyielding war for dignity and victory.

However, the good times did not last long. Serbia's Tosic's long-range shot caused Shuwaze to lose his hand and score a make-up shot. At this time, the group situation suddenly changed, because as long as Serbia scored another goal and equalized the score, Serbia would advance.

At this time, Australia once again lost the hope of promotion, but they were unwilling to lose the victory again. In the face of Serbia's attacks, the Australian team persisted and locked the victory in its arms.

After the game, the Australian players hugged each other to celebrate the victory. Although they still failed to appear in the group, in the eyes of Australians, a victory was enough to make them hold their heads up.

In the three games of Australia's group stage, Cahill and Cowell got red cards in the first two games, which was somewhat unfair. Finally, in a game without injustice, the Australian players won back their dignity.

Maybe without the defeat against Germany or the two red cards, Australia may be able to go further.

When the game was over, people noticed a detail, because he was sent off by a red card in the last game. Cowell, who was sitting in the stands, cried very sadly. For him, his World Cup was also over at the moment of the final whistle. A red card, this is Cowell All the memories left in South Africa in 2010.

After three rounds of Group D, the German team advanced as the first in the group. They will face the second England in Group C in the subsequent 1/8 knockout match. This pair of old enemies will meet on the stage of several competitions, and the Germans obviously have a lot of psychological advantage.

Ghana ranked second in the group. They have to face the first American team in Group C. The strength of the two teams is basically inseparable. It is reasonable for anyone who laughs to the end of this match.
