Chapter 642 `Europe blows up South America`
The Spanish team has always been known for its gorgeousness and fluency.
They are the top super technology genre in Europe. Many predecessors, including Zidane, believe that the Spanish football style represents the development direction of European football... This statement is not unreasonable - in recent years, with the rise of La Liga giant Barcelona as an invincible attitude in Europe, Harvey, Iniesta was born, giving the Spanish national team's midfield to have extreme dominance, and the madman Li's [Angel's Wings] Juan Mata is even more brilliant. In addition, the growth of Javi Alonso, Fabregas and others who played in the world's first Premier League, has made the Spanish team full of talents. The offensive is like thunder, and the defense is like a rock. It not only has the gorgeous and smoothness of the South American team, but also has the rigor of European football!
Such a team, which can be called the most powerful team in Spanish history, should have swept the world and dominated the world of football... But for the Spanish team, the most unfortunate thing is that when they were the most powerful, they met a man like a demon king - madman Li!!
This man linger on the road of honor for the Spanish team like the insurmountable Mount Everest.
In the 2008 European Cup, the Spanish team was once the first favorite to win the championship, but they were full of confidence and determined to hit the top of Europe, but they were hit in the group stage. They were ruthlessly defeated by Li Da, a madman at that time, and finally succumbed to the second place in the group. Out of the line, when it came to the knockout match, the Spanish team met the madman Li again. Originally, many Spanish fans expected that Aragones could be destroyed by the madman Li ruthlessly again without any suspense. They had no choice but to leave the existence of the madman Li early, so that the Spanish team had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh. Yu He Shengliang.
If there is a grudge between the England team and the madman Lee, then there is only hatred and no kindness between the Spanish team and the madman Li. In 2008, the humiliating defeat of Switzerland made 45 million people in Spain wait for this opportunity to revenge all the time!
Now, the two sides are staring at the 'top of the world' of the Johannesburg Football City Stadium. The Spaniards feel that the opportunity is coming. Isn't this a good opportunity to eliminate the shame?
Through the development of these two years, the strength of the Spanish team has been much stronger than before. Defeat the madman Li for revenge is in front of us. What else can make the Spaniards more crazy than defeating the madman Li in the final of the World Cup and stepping on the madman Li's body to raise the Hercules Cup?
In this sense, the West-Arab War, even the previous Anglo-Arab War, is even more crazy and exciting!
The public opinion of the whole country of the mater is like this. As the coach, Bosque certainly has reason to have the confidence to make a declaration to defeat the madman Li. In this way, he wants to make the madman Li feel the pressure on his face, and also let the players of the Spanish team have the confidence to win a battle and cater to the mood of the domestic fans. zhan jin tian shi ren he, starting to plan for the final victory four days before the finals!
...Of course, when the world was popular all over the World Cup final, which can be called the battle of the century, people did not forget that on the eve of the final, that is, July 17, 2010, there was also a third-place battle, which would open at Nelson-Mandelah Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth. The two were frustrated in the semi-finals. The 'Difficult Brother' - [Three Lions] and [Samba Corps] will compete for the third place in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa!
The three or four finals is a contest between the frustrated, which is of little significance!
But judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, it is also a shocking competition. The venue is Nelson-Mandelaire Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, a new stadium built by South Africa's political axe for the World Cup at a cost of 282 million US dollars in 2007. Nelson Mann, the black leader of South Africa Named after Della, the stands can accommodate more than 48,000 people to watch the game on the sidelines.
The competition will start at 18:00 p.m. on July 17.
As the penultimate game before the end of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the fans who came to watch the game also crowded the stadium stands. The naked England ** were singing "God's Bless the Queen" and waving the cross flag of St. George, and a Brazilian beauty dressed in a cool Brazilian flag and painted with yellow and green oil on her face. They are enthusiastic, and their whole body exudes a different wild atmosphere of South American style!
The game was officially staged with overwhelming cheers and shouts!
England's lineup has undergone a large-scale rotation. Michael Owen and Nicholas Gigi, who have never had a chance to play in the semi-finals, finally got a starting opportunity. Rooney appeared in the midfield position. Capello adopted a diamond midfield formation of 4-1-2-2, and Barry took the single position. The back... The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Andy Carroll. Capello did not put the Newcastle [Bear] in the starting lineup.
There is no change for the Brazilian team. Newcastle midfielder Felipe Melo, who got a red card in the quarter-finals, replaced Ramirez. Caca still started, Ronaldo was absent with a knee injury, and the rest were basically the starting list for the semi-finals.
This is Dunga's last game before his official departure, so he still attaches great importance to it.
The process of the game can be regarded as ups and downs - Brazil scored a goal with Kaka's long-range shot in the third minute of the game, but England quickly equalized the score - [Lightning Killer] Owen received a pass from Gigi and was knocked down and shoveled into the penalty area!
The two sides drew one-to-one in the first half.
Change sides and fight again in the second half.
Brazil was still the first to score the goal. Barcelona defender Daniel Alves scored a direct free kick in the 57th minute, rewriting the score to 2:1... However, England performed very tenaciously. In the 78th minute, they relied on central defender Steven Taylor's header in the corner kick attack. Equalize the score once!
The goal that determined the final result of the game took place in the 87th minute.
This time is the performance time of the former Real Madrid [Grider Prince] Robinho. He played a classic Brazilian style in a row with Kaka and Elano in the front court, tearing the defense line led by Terry. [Grider Prince] pushed the ball in the lower right corner of the goal near the penalty spot!
3:2!!!
Robinho defeated the England team!!
After scoring this goal, the cycling prince ran excitedly around the court. He has not played well in the Premier League in recent years. At one time, he returned to Brazil to play in the domestic league in order to participate in the World Cup. If he still wants to return to the mainstream European league to play, he must grasp the World Cup. Now, he has finally played from His own characteristics make him extremely excited!
The game ended with 3:2.
Dunga won as he wished in his last game of coaching Brazil.
Although Capello was defeated again, for him, there is still a long way to go to coach the [Three Lions]. He still has enough time to build an almost perfect teacher in his mind. The Football Federation set a goal for him for the 2012 European Cup in Ukraine, the gentlemen of England. I hope [The Legion of Three Lions] can find the demeanor of the former king of Europe in the European Cup!
After the battle for the third place, the two teams disbanded in place.
By this time, there were only the last two teams left in South Africa. All the smoke and dust before the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa were dispersed. Except for the team that finally stepped on the 'top of the world' to win the Hercules Cup, all other suspense about the victory or defeat of the game was 'killed'!
The final is coming soon!!
The atmosphere is getting more and more tense!!
The crowd is constantly pouring into the city of Johannesburg!
The king of the world is about to be born in the eyes of the world.
............ Both teams are actively preparing for the battle.
Since Johannesburg is not far from Pretoria, the Argentine team did not go to Johannesburg in advance, but stayed at the HPC Sports Center of the University of Pretoria for training. At this point, the Spanish team suffered a small loss. Their residence of Northwestern University was relatively far away, so they had to rush from Northwestern University to the competition city one day in advance, suffering a lot of hardships!
Speaking of the station, there is also an interesting story - the two teams that finally advanced to the World Cup finals are actually the only two of the top 32 who chose to stay on the university campus, which makes many fans and media of the eliminated countries regret: if it is the team of their own country I also stayed on the university campus. Can I also enter the World Cup finals?
... The decisive battle is approaching.
Fans and media in both countries have begun to build momentum.
On the day after the end of the battle of three or four players, the Spanish media took the lead in the battle. They have a very obvious advantage in this public opinion war. The influence of As, Marca, World Sports and Every Day Sports in the football world far exceeds that of the Argentine team's Reading News and National Newspaper.
On the morning of July 18, World Sports introduced the third runner-up battle with the title of "Europe blows South America" with the name of "Europe beating upside down". The Spaniards "There are plenty of reasons" and at the same time extremely confidently predicted: "Although England lost the competition with Brazil. The game, but they completely 'brated' the Brazilian team in the comparison of various data. There is no doubt that the rigor and discipline of European football are the nemesis of the free and scattered South American football. The English did not do well, and Spain is obviously much better than them... We have the highest cumulative value in the World Cup in South Africa. The team also has the most experienced head coach in football today, so the final final must be Spain against Argentina and Europe against South America!"
Another big Catalan newspaper, Daily Sports, listed a large number of historical data, believing that "the historical law of the world distribution of the World Cup champion team proves that the Spanish team will definitely win the championship!"
