Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The press conference after the game was very lively. This game of the England team seemed somewhat eclipsed compared to the previous games, especially the games in the group stage.  As the favorite team to win the championship, it should be stronger than the Dutch team in terms of strength.

    However, in this game, once the soul of the team, captain Lin Feng, was looked down upon by the Dutch players, the England team performed like a third-rate team, making constant mistakes and losing points.  Now, there is only one final game left in the World Cup. If the England team performs as well as this one, then it is really hard to say who will win the championship.

    As the captain of the team, although he still led the team in the end, he reversed the score at the last moment of the game and eliminated the powerful Dutch team.  However, the media still somewhat criticized Lin Feng's rating, believing that he did not perform as well as he should in this game.

    However, compared to other members of the England team, Lin Feng still has the highest rating.  Others, even coach Capello, were criticized wildly by the media, believing that he had made huge mistakes in his formation.  As the favorites to win the championship, the England team should not have played in such an embarrassing situation.

    And among the other England team players, no player can score more than Lin Feng. The one who ranks behind Lin Feng is actually the veteran goalkeeper James, who has conceded two goals.  The media believes that the responsibility for the two goals conceded by the England team does not lie with goalkeeper James.

    It¡¯s not like James performed well in the game against the Netherlands, maybe.  England will not concede two goals, but at least three.  This fully shows that the strength of the England team completely relies on the performance of Lin Feng, the soul of the team.  This is inconsistent with the status of European champion and world champion!

    ¡°Compared with the media¡¯s dissatisfaction with the England team, the Dutch team, which once again tragically failed to qualify for the World Cup final, was even more recognized by the world¡¯s media.  No matter how you look at this game, the performance of the Dutch team is better than that of the England team.  It's a pity that the strong Dutch team.  After all, there is an absolute core character missing.

    The most tragic thing is.  The Dutch team's midfielder Sneijder suffered a thigh cramp at the last moment of the game and lost a good game, ruining the Dutch team's good situation.  If not for the cramp at the last moment.  perhaps.  This game will enter overtime.  And Lin Feng was severely guarded.  There shouldn't be much chance of attacking for England.

    In that case, we will advance to the finals.  Maybe it is the powerful Dutch team, maybe, this time, the title of the uncrowned king will be filled with a sparkling World Cup championship trophy.  But there are not so many possibilities in the world. Although the crying Sneijder was forgiven by the fans and the media, it is still unknown whether he will be seen in the next World Cup.

    For Sneijder, ending his World Cup journey with a tragic thigh cramp will be the most painful memory in his life.  In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Sneijder was already 30 years old. In the Netherlands, where young talented players are emerging in large numbers, whether he can enter the lineup of the Dutch team in the next World Cup will be an answer that no one knows.

    Whether it is praise or criticism, the England team has finally entered the World Cup finals again, and the hope of successfully defending the championship has once again emerged.  Lin Feng, who has scored 22 goals for the team, will undoubtedly be the player who has gained the most in this World Cup.

    Whether it is his scoring record or his personal performance, it is an undisputed fact that he has won the title in this World Cup.  Among the active golf champions in the world, Lin Feng will be the only and unique one!  This is not only the pride of England and Chinese fans, but also the pride of fans around the world!

    The players of the England national team, as well as their coach Capello, should be grateful that the second World Cup semi-final was held the day after their game.  This means that the world's media will not always focus on them.  And, no matter what, they have already qualified for the World Cup finals.

    In fact, this is also the case. The eyes of the world media only stayed on them for one day. The battle between the two strong European teams in the second semi-final is imminent.  The media must introduce these two teams from the European region to the fans.

    This is a contest between the European powerhouses Germany and Spain. The two teams are equally strong. No one can predict who will win or lose before the game.  Even Pele, the world-recognized football champion known as the crow's mouth, is swinging between the two teams and cannot predict who will be the last team to enter the World Cup finals.

    The difficulty of the game between England and the Netherlands has made Germany and Spain, two other teams competing in other games, more cautious.  No one wants to make their team, like the tragic and uncrowned Dutch team, suffer in the game.At the last moment, he fell at the feet of his opponent.

    Therefore, the coaches of these two teams unanimously formed a 4-2-3-1 formation, both of which strengthened the defense of their teams in the backcourt and the control of the midfield.  The lineup and formation they announced gave the media and fans a little more expectation for the excitement of this game.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the competition.  In the record of twenty meetings, Germany has a slight advantage with eight wins, six draws and six losses.  But Spain, which has never entered the World Cup finals, is lower in the historical record.

    But in this crucial World Cup match, all historical records are just records.  It cannot be used as a reference at all.  You know, once it defeats its opponent Germany in this game, Spain will not only set a record for itself, but also have the qualifications to attack the throne of World Cup champions.

    Spanish coach Vicente Del Bosque changed his usual 4-4-2 formation to a stable 4-2-31, stabilizing the rear while looking for good scoring opportunities.  Moreover, in terms of forward arrangement, Del Bosque placed Villa at the forefront and Torres was placed on the bench.

    The person who replaced Torres on the field was Pedro, who was called the lucky general by the Spanish media.  It seems.  Del Bosque hopes that this lucky player can bring good luck to Spain in this game, eliminate the powerful German team, and advance to the finals.  Although Torres had some complaints in his heart, he could only keep it to himself.

    The semi-final between the German team and the Spanish team was held at the Durban Stadium in Durban, South Africa's second largest city. The referee of this semi-final was Kasai from Hungary.  Speaking of referees.  The referee was originally appointed by the FIFA Referees Committee to preside over the final.  It's Webb from England.

    But because the England team once again reached the World Cup finals, the decision of the FIFA Referees Committee became a dead letter.  As a last resort, FIFA's referee committee urgently activated the backup mode.  Rossetti, the international referee from Italy, replaced the aggrieved Weber.  Take over the enforcement of this World Cup final.

    time.  With the attention of fans all over the world, the moment before the match between Germany and Spain arrived unhurriedly.  The eyes of all fans and media in the world are focused on the Durban Stadium.

    Including the England team that has entered the final.  They all rushed to Johannesburg, South Africa, and in the small conference room of the hotel, they collectively watched the upcoming game to determine who would be their final opponent.

    After the game starts, whether it is the German team or the Spanish team that kicks off first.  Both teams performed somewhat cautiously.  But judging from the scene of the game, the German team is still a little slow to warm up as usual, and it is a little slow to enter the state.  The Spanish team, on the other hand, is relatively more active in attack.

    Ten minutes before the opening, the Spanish team, which was the first to attack, made several more threatening attacks and approached the German team's goal.  If it weren't for the heroic performance of Neuer, the German team's starting goalkeeper, the German team's goal might have been lost.  This made the German fans at the scene a little dissatisfied.

    In the sixth minute, Spain's talented general Pedro sent a through pass in the middle. Villa, the single-arrow striker, quickly moved forward to grab the shot, but was saved by German goalkeeper Neuer.  out.  Less than five minutes after the end of this attack, Spain's attack once again threatened the German team's goal.

    This time, it was Spain's two midfielders, Iniesta and Xavi, who took advantage of the corner kick to perform a clever collaboration in the German team's backcourt.  Then the ball was passed into the middle, and Puyol jumped into the top.  Unfortunately, the ball went slightly over the crossbar.

    Both times the goal was seriously threatened, and the German team finally entered the state of the game.  During the game, the offense and defense between the two sides became faster and faster, and the excitement of the scene directly rose to five stars.

    But Spain still had the absolute advantage in offense. The German team did not get their first shot until the 30th minute of the game.  It was their captain Lahm's cross from the right, followed by a long shot by Troshovsky, that announced the German team's presence.

    It is a pity that both teams attach great importance to the stability of their own defense. At the end of the 45 minutes of the first half, neither side could find a chance to break the opponent's goal, and the score stayed at 0-0.  on a goalless draw.  Although the scene was exciting, there was no goal and the fans and media could not be satisfied.

    In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. This time, the first attack was the German team.  At one point, the Spanish team was forced back to their own half for a half-time practice match.  But the fans are still veryIt is a pity that the advantage on the field failed to bring points to the German team.

    Seeing that their players were unable to knock on the opponent's goal, the coaches of both sides began to mobilize their troops in unison.  German team coach Loew replaced Boateng with Jansen.  Afterwards, the situation still did not open up, and Troshovsky was replaced with Cross.

    And less than a minute after the German team's substitution, the German team not only failed to threaten the Spanish team's goal, but its own goal was threatened.  Spain's midfielder Alonso made a diagonal pass from the left into the penalty area. Ramos and Podolski scrambled in the penalty area and both parties fell to the ground.

    The Spanish players were shouting for penalty kicks, and the German players were nervous.  Fortunately, the referee Kasai ignored the Spanish players and refused to give the Spanish team a penalty kick, and the German team escaped.  At this time, the Spanish team's offensive momentum has picked up.

    The game entered the 73rd minute. Another attack by the German team was fruitless. After being saved by Spain's goalkeeper Sancassi, a quick counterattack was launched. Spain's shot was also fruitless, but it got a corner kick opportunity.  It was this corner kick that changed the situation of the game.

    Xavi's corner kick was well placed, and the German team's players made a defensive mistake in the penalty area. As a result, Puyol stepped in from the back row and headed the goal, finally knocking on the goal guarded by German team goalkeeper Neuer.  , changed the game to 1-0, temporarily leading the opponent.

    This score was also tenaciously maintained by the Spaniards until the end of the game amid the crazy counterattack of the German team.  The Germans went home crying, while the Spaniards smiled and rewrote their history and stayed in the World Cup.  They finally have a chance to compete with England for the championship trophy they have never touched!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
