Chapter 207 European Red Devils VS German chariot
Belgium and Germany finally met in the finals. This result is both unexpected and reasonable. Since Belgian football joined Degan, it has been in a state of blowout in just a few years. Today, although this team is still young, many players in the team have participated in it. In many international competitions, before the World Cup in Brazil, it has won two European Cups and World Cups in South Africa.
The German team has been painstakingly for more than ten years. Through continuous accumulation and continuous progress since the 2006 World Cup in Germany, this World Cup has finally reached the final and has the opportunity to compete for the fourth star in German history.
In eight hours, the final of the World Cup in Brazil will begin. Belgians are eager to defend their title, while Germans will launch another shock for the championship trophy that has been waiting for 24 years.
Before the game, German coach Lerve also analyzed the situation of Germany's championship in an interview: "Maybe the semi-finals and Brazil's game is too fantastic. In fact, I haven't found that the German team can score 4 goals in 6 minutes and finally win 7:1. The reason for the West team is that I have never experienced so far, and I don't think such a thing will happen again.
"However, that victory brings us confidence. This is the most wonderful game in the history of the German team, but for today's final, I must ask my players to forget the big victory, because only in this way can we ensure that tonight's game becomes the most important and successful game in 24 years. Whether it's a player or a coach, you can't think that something similar will happen in today's final.
"Our final opponent Belgium is very strong. We have lost to them before, but Germany's 71 victory over Brazil will win extra respect from their opponents, so they may appear more cautious in the game."
"Belgian team is a difficult opponent, not only because they have the best player in the world's football Digan, but also their strength lies in their own characteristics, that is, the fast football style, which is the source of their success, coupled with their aggressiveness and fierce struggle, we It must be noted today. They may counterattack on the basis of solid defense in the game. In the frontcourt, they have the best players in the world, Degan, and two excellent attackers, Hazard and De Bruyne, especially Degan. He is very fast and has excellent in technology. At the same time, his goal The previous sense of smell is desperate.
"But I am still very confident that the current German team is stronger than the previous World Series. I think this game will be very similar to the 1990 final. At that time, the German team's opponent was Argentina. At that time, they were also mainly defensive, hoping to drag the game to overtime or even a big penalty kick. In the war, they completely rely on Maradona in the attack, so in today's game, in order to avoid this situation, the German team must improve the speed of the game. German players must believe in their advantages and implement these well into the game. I am not asking the German players to run wildly in the game. Instead, we find a balance between attack and defense. We should try to make the opponent make mistakes and constantly attack the penalty area to create scoring opportunities.
"At the same time, the German team must also be very careful in the game, because the Belgian team relies on Digan's personal ability. In addition, Hazard and De Bruyne are also dangerous. Like the semi-final match with Brazil, we are also a stronger team in this game. But this is not a guarantee for the championship. Nevertheless, I am very optimistic about today's game, and I believe that German players can win the final championship trophy.
Lev seemed confident, and as the leader of the German team, Bierhof shouted the slogan of winning the championship before the game: "Champion! It's now!"
The top four of the World Cup and the top four of the last five competitions failed to win the trophy, and the German team leader also showed a surreal subjective logic: it's their turn.
"For four years, we have been preparing for this long competition." Listening to Bierhoff, the Germans did not pay attention to the group stage and the previous knockout at all. They were sure that they would pass the test and work hard to go straight to the podium.
Indeed, as they expected, the most difficult and most controversial 1/8 final was won by overtime, and then it became easier. 1:0 defeated France was a small victory and a complete victory, 7:1 destroyed the host, thinking of the first game 4:0 Portugal, their wisdom, experience and strategy were more vivid when they encountered a strong enemy. It shows that the Germans seem to deliberately prove that they only come for the war, and the small team can't raise their interest at all.
This is Bierhoff's fifth quarter-finals as the leader of the team. In the eight years since the revival of the handover of Klinsman and Loew, Bierhov has formed an internal series and one of the reform executors. He insisted that as long as the team does not win the championship, he will not leave his current position, and there is a lot of heroism that "not broken Loulan will not return".
"We are stronger than in 2010, we are more mature, and we are fully prepared to win the championship. Now our desire to win the championship is stronger than ever."
The last time Germany reached the World Cup final was 2002. At that time, Bierhoff was also present and hit the column in the first Klose team. Bierhoff also hit the final, but Bierhov believes that there is no comparison with the final 12 years ago. At present, the German team is more Powerful.
"12 years ago, the German club had no skills. We completely relied on fighting spirit to advance, and also benefited from the good draw. Before the final, we met Paraguay, the United States and South Korea, which was not difficult. The host South Korea has reached the top four. Now, we can reach the finals with our strength!"
As the current head coach of the American team and former German international, head coach Klinsmann also expressed his support for Germany before the game. He firmly believes that his compatriots can defeat Belgium in the final and win the final championship.
"I think our team can end 24 years of waiting. The World Cup will return to Germany. The team is ready. They have performed very well in the previous games. Of course, Germany must not underestimate the enemy. Belgium's attack is very threatening. You must respect your opponent. Objectively, I think Germany has a greater opportunity.
The German team is also full of confidence at this time. Klose, who has just scored a goal in the semi-finals and surpassed Ronaldo and became the second in the World Cup scoring list, believes that the time has come for Germany to crown its fourth World Cup champion.
The 36-year-old German striker will participate in the final of the World Cup for the second time: "This time is completely different from 2002. At that time, we were a young team. No one expected us to reach the final, but in the end we did it, even if we lost the championship in the end. We still feel great, and now is the time for us to win the championship. For us, the spirit of the team is not an empty word. Now we are a real team, a close connection.
"We enjoyed the previous semi-final with Brazil, but I forgot that game 24 hours later. Unfortunately, this is only a semi-final. Just like the next game with Belgium, we must show our best strength. I am looking forward to an exciting game. This will be a battle. There will also be some small tricks in the competition, and the game with Brazil will not be repeated.
Klose is now the player with the second most goals in the World Cup. With his goals in the match with Brazil, his total number of goals has reached 16, surpassing Ronaldo. In this final, he will face Degan, who has the first goal in the World Cup.
"For me, it is very important to surpass Ronaldo, but people know me and know that my goal is to win the championship. I won't expect to continue to surpass Degan. Although that's a little discouraged, it's really impossible, but we will win the championship, which is the most important thing!"
"We are all eager to win the championship, but the first thing we need to do is to limit Degan. He is a dangerous player. As long as he is given a small gap, he can complete the final kill! I will remind my teammates to be vigilant!"
At the same time, German midfielder Schwein Steiger also compared the Belgian team to a pack of wolves in an interview, and Degan is the leader of this group of wolves.
"Our opponent Belgium in the final is like a wolf pack, and Degan is the head wolf of this wolves. Looking at their performance against the Netherlands, they successfully frozen Robben, did not give him a chance, and finally Degan scored two goals to defeat the Netherlands. In the game, you can see Digan as the country. And the efforts of the battle will be very difficult against Belgium, which he led in the final. Belgium is a very good team with world-class players like Digan, Hazard and Fellaini.
Schwein Steger then said that in the final, the German team only needs to play normally like against Brazil: "In the game, we need to be patient and show our own football on the field. In the game, we need to be smart enough. Now we are in good shape, just like against Brazil. In that case, of course, I also know that it is a completely different game against Belgium. I don't think we are under a lot of pressure. Although only one person in this German team has experience in the World Cup finals, many players in the team have experience in major games. Everyone knows how to play in this important To adjust the pressure in the game, now we only want one thing, that is, to win the game. When we step on the court and the referee whistles at the beginning of the game, all we have to do is to do our best in the game.
The World Cup in Brazil is coming to an end, and now there is only one last game left. Although Belgium has won the championships in the past three world championships, before the decisive battle begins, people are obviously more optimistic about it for more than a decade and finally looks up with the world. See the German team.
Raul, a famous Spanish football player who played in the Bundesliga, also believes: "I think the Germans are best prepared for this game. After a 7:1 victory over Brazil in the semi-finals, they are more confident. The overall football quality of the Germans is better than the Belgians. They don't rely on someone, and Belgium is better than Digan. Dependence, this is likely to become their weakness.
Martini, the flagship figure of Italian football, also expressed his support for Germany in an interview before the start of the final: "Usually, it is impossible to predict who will win more in the final of the World Cup, but this tradition has been broken in Brazil. The Germans have built confidence in the victory of the semi-finals. At the same time, they It is also more physical than the Belgian team that played overtime.
Van Gaal, the head coach of the Dutch team who just lost the semi-finals, also said: "The Germans do not rely on anyone. Everyone in the front court has the ability to shoot and score. Although the defense is not perfect, it is already very strict. Neuer can also trust four goals in the past six games. The goalkeeper, Leff, knows how to push the team's state to the peak. A big victory will not let them slack off. The stronger the opponent they face, the better they will play.
Even Degan's good friend, England football star Beckham, is also not optimistic about Belgium's progress: "Belgium is obviously too dependent on Degan. After being rated as the best in the first six consecutive games, it is obvious that the German team will pay more attention to him in the final, and his space will also It's getting smaller and smaller, and the finals are obviously more difficult than the knockout round. There is no doubt that Belgium needs the best Degan, but what about the others? While Degan is playing better and better, the role of other Belgian players has been invisibly weakened. If you want to win the championship, Belgium also needs other players to show their best in addition to Digan!"
People's badmouthing before the game did not affect Degan's mood. In an interview, Degan said: "I can understand people's views, but this does not mean that I agree with them. The Belgian team is a whole. In this whole, everyone's division of labor is different, and someone is responsible for scoring goals. There is someone in charge of defense. Is there anything wrong with saying that the Belgian team relies on me? Now I feel that I still haven't reached my best, and the Belgian team still has room for progress. The goal of coming here is to defend our title. Now we are getting closer and closer to this goal. At this time, we will not give victory to others! In the final, my teammates and I will show the world the most powerful Belgium!"
