Chapter 68 Goal, Soccer City

"Friends, now the South African World Cup news is broadcast. In the second game of the semi-final that just ended, it was also a European civil war. In the end, Spain defeated the German team with a small score of 1:0. The winning Bullfighters actually did not play easily, although they had a certain advantage in the game.

Germany teams, which had previously eliminated England with large scores and other strong teams, were widely favored before the game, and they also had a certain advantage in the early stages of this game. Coach Lov continued to line up a 451 formation, with Ram, Mertsack, A. Friedrich and J. Boateng lined up in one row, Schweinsteiger and Khdira were in the midfield, Trokhovsky replaced T. Muller, who had accumulated two yellow cards, and formed an attacking midfielder with Ozil and Podolsky. Klose, who scored 4 goals, continued to act as a single arrow. However, judging from the final result, Löw's formation arrangement was too conservative.

Of course, what Lov may not have expected was that Espanyol also arranged a 451 formation in the game. Pique and Puyol teamed up with the center back, Ramos and Capdvilla were separated on both sides. In the midfield, Busquets and Xavi Alonso formed a double midfielder, Xavi served as the front midfielder, Iniesta and young player Pedro were separated on both sides. Torres, who was in poor form, sat on the bench, and Villa broke out alone.

There were also many behind-the-scenes footage of this game. First, in the 4th minute, a fan rushed into the field and was pulled out by the security guard. The game was temporarily interrupted. In the 6th minute, Spain got a good opportunity. Pedro made a clever pass from the right side of the arc. Villa successfully made a counter-offside shot and the shot was blocked by Neuer who was attacking. In the 14th minute, the Spanish team cooperated with a corner kick, Iniesta made a cross from the right, and Puyol headed the ball from the small penalty area line, and the ball was actually above the crossbar! In the first 15 minutes of the first half, Spain had an absolute advantage.

Casillas continued to play the role of the guardian of Spain, and the German team's two corner kicks were resolved by Casillas. In the 19th minute, Ramos shot at a small angle on the right side of the penalty area, and the ball went out of the close corner. In the 25th minute, Ramos made a cross from the right, and Villa volleyed in the penalty area without hitting the ball. In the 32nd minute, Ram assisted from the right and handed the ball to Trokhovsky. Hamburg's midfielder's low ball shot from the right side of the arc was shot from the near corner, but Casillas fell to the ground and saved it. This was the first shot after the German team's opening! In the last moment of the first half, Ozil fell in the opponent's penalty area in the competition with Ramos, but the referee ignored it, and both sides entered the midfield break 0-0.

In the second half, neither side made any substitution adjustments. The Spanish team's offensive remained the same. In the 48th minute, Pedro shook Boateng and Khdira successively on the right and knocked back. Alonso's long shot missed from 20 yards from the goal. Two minutes later, Xavi made the ball, and Alonso shot low at the same position, and missed again. The German team took the lead in making a substitution adjustment, and Hamburg's left-side versatile Jansen replaced Boateng. In the 55th minute, Xavi cooperated with Iniesta and handed the ball to the left, and Villa's arc top shot was shot from the lower right corner of the goal.

In the 58th minute, the German team was in danger in front of the goal, Pedro's long shot was saved by Neuer, Iniesta swept across the goal from the left rib of the penalty area, Villa's shoveling shot did not touch the ball, Spain missed the opportunity! Then Klose's half-turned shot in the opponent's penalty area was volleyed over the crossbar, and Kros replaced Trokhovsky, who performed in moderation. In the 70th minute, the German team got a good opportunity. Ozil and Jansen cooperated and made a cross from the left, and Kross volleyed at the back point, and the ball was saved by Casillas.

In the 73rd minute, the Spanish team finally broke the deadlock on the field. Xavi took a corner kick from the left. Puyol inserted the header to the top and hit the ball to the right of the goal. Spain led 1-0. In the 80th minute, Loew replaced Khedira with Gomez, and the German team made a try. Bosque also replaced Villa with Torres. In the 82nd minute, the Spanish team formed a two-for-one in the frontcourt, but Pedro was eager to score and did not pass the ball to Torres, who was unmarked. He was replaced by Silva in the 85th minute. Spain still controlled the situation on the field, and finally defeated Germany with one goal and advanced to the final.

At this point, the South African World Cup is about to come to an end. The two sides in the finals are Denmark and Spain, and no matter who laughs the end, they will become the 8th world champion!

On July 11, the weather in South Africa has been very good recently, as if it is leaving the final and best impression for fans and players from all over the world, and the air is particularly fresh. Today is the day of the third and fourth finals. Olsen did not lead the team to watch it, but continued to prepare for tomorrow's game.

During supper, no Danish player was wandering around, staying in his room, watching through TV, or dining in a restaurant. The Royal Banterken Stadium in Lestenburg was the site for the third and fourth place finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The Germans faced the Uruguayan. The game ended in the 18th minute. In the 18th minute, Jansen hit the left side, Schweinsteiger's long shot was saved by Musleira. T. Muller followed up and scored a goal, 1-0. This was Thomas Muller's fifth goal in this World Cup. In the 23rd minute, Jansen received a cross from the penalty area and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area and was hugged by Musleira.

But the good times didn't last long, and the Uruguayan tied the score soon. In the 28th minute, Schweinsteiger was intercepted by Perez in the midfield. Perez intercepted the ball and defeated Suarez and passed it to Suarez. Suarez passed Cavani on the left. Cavani dribbled the ball into the penalty area and scored a strong shot before Mertesacker's shovel, 1-1.

At the beginning of the second half, neither side made a substitution. Uruguay took the lead. In the 49th minute, Uruguay counterattacked. Cavani's shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Bute. Suarez followed up and made a follow-up shot and was hit by Bute with one palm. In the 51st minute, Arevalo received a straight pass from his teammate. He dribbled the ball on the right side of the penalty area and passed a defensive player and then returned to the goal. He volleyed sideways near the penalty point. The ball bounced into the ground and flew into the German goal. Uruguay overtook the score 2-1.

However, after 5 minutes, the German team equalized the score. In the 56th minute, the German team counterattacked. Boateng made a 45-degree cross from the right and sent the ball to the goal. Boateng's teammate Jansen headed and scored a goal to tie the score, 2-2.

Both sides had their own chances in the next game, but they never rewritten the score on the field. Until the 83rd minute, the German team used the set piece to exceed the score. Ozil took a corner kick, Uruguay played in the penalty area, Khedira headed the ball into the ball, and the German team surpassed the score again, 3-2. In the 88th minute, Ozil made a cross and Kislin pushed and kicked high. Of course, at the end of the game, Uruguay also had a chance to equalize the score and drag the game into overtime, but Fran's direct free kick was blocked by the crossbar.

In the end, the German Chariot laughed to the end, although Loeff’s face was not shining brightly, third? Who cares about it!

No words all night, July 12, Johannesburg, the day of the finals.

Early in the morning, Qin Tian got up from the warm bed and couldn't sleep anymore. After all, it was the first time in his life. He was very excited. The finals finally reached the final. Nervous? Well, no, it should be very nervous! Although Qin Tian participated in the finals of the Champions League and it was also a crazy game, Qin Tian was still unstoppable. After all, there is a Champions League every year, and the World Cup is once every four years, and it may not necessarily enter the finals.

After lunch, everyone was waiting in the hotel lobby, waiting for the moment when they set out to the final battlefield. The hotel staff and the team staff were busy sorting the players' luggage and transporting them to the Grand Bus, which was a busy scene.

Qin Tian sat on the sofa in the hall and looked outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling window. He seemed to be very serious. In fact, he had long known where he had flew. If anyone walked into him, he could clearly hear Qin Tian muttering to himself, "No, no, no, no, I am not nervous...

Thomason, who had many years of professional experience, came over and patted Qin Tian on the shoulder, "What? Qin, you're nervous, don't be nervous, it's just that there are more people watching, I..." Thomason just said a few words and found that his voice was trembling, "Haha..." I couldn't help it, Thomason touched his head awkwardly, "I'm nervous too."

Qin Tian laughed silently and looked around and found that no teammate was normal now. Bentner had been competing with his hat and stood in front of the mirror in the lobby for at least 15 minutes. Mike Jensen had been looking at his phone. Who knew how long the page had not been reactionary? Eriksen had gone to the toilet for the first time. The young man in 1992 had a big kidney problem. Of course, don't forget Michelle, it seems that the luggage on his hand had been loaded back and forth three times...

Well, everyone is nervous, understandably, the World Cup final. How can I not be nervous? Not to mention Qin Tian, ​​the first time players participating in the World Cup... To be honest, the Denmark is really a rookie team in the World Cup...

Soon, Olson walked out of the elevator, but before he could speak, everyone laughed. Olson, who used to be serious, actually sent his tie in a crooked manner. It seemed that it was not just the players who were nervous in the team. For some reason, the somewhat depressing atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

"Smile, you bastards," Olson blushed and straightened his tie, "Okay, be serious. Young men, you have created miracles this summer, and now you have only one last step left, set off! Today, there is only one goal, lift the Hercules Cup!"

"Set out!" The captain of the Danish team, Qin Tian, ​​shouted loudly, and everyone's expressions became serious, as if they were soldiers about to go to the battlefield, with their heads raised and their chests straightened out of the hotel gate in an orderly manner.

"Click, crack..." This is the sound of the reporters gathered at the hotel gate, quickly pressing the shutter on their hands.

"Papa,papa..." This is the Danish fans who have been waiting for the players for half a night, clapping and cheering passionately.

At this moment, outside the hotel, there were people along the way. The Danish team's bus slowly advanced along the road left in the middle. Qin Tian sat in the seat by the window with his cheek against the window. He could see little fans, middle-aged people, old people; men, women... Everyone's faces had the same expression: excited, excited!

Everyone... heads towards the same goal!!!
