Chapter 484 The Fallen German Chariot

"We lost!"

German football emperor Beckenbauer, who was watching the football on the spot, said to his friends next to him with red eyes that he was surrounded by senior executives from Bayern Club and senior executives from the German Football Association.

"Do you think we should change the head coach?"

Someone made such a suggestion, and the few people next to him remained silent. The situation of the German team may not be solved by changing the head coach, but it is obvious that they want to blame the head coach for all the blame.

This is the trick that the top leaders of the Football Association are most accustomed to.

Beckenbauer didn't give them a good look, "Change the head coach? Which World Cup champion's head coach did you see was replaced by his own people? You are shameless, and we German football is shameless."

"The situation of the team is not solved by changing the head coach. Our pass-by football should no longer be able to adapt to the current era. Just like Barcelona and Spain, it was once very brilliant, but I didn't expect it to be so short."

The court suddenly caused another exclamation from German fans. In the 88th minute, Gomez received a long pass from Kroos seven meters away from the goal, and beat Chiellini to the goal. The ball went straight to the goal.

The German fans were already standing up and ready to cheer, but Buffon did not let them do what they wanted and flew to the spot to racquet the racket.

Oops--

Too impulsive, the German team's offense was too impulsive, and they had completely forgotten behind them, which gave Italy a good opportunity to fight back.

With a very simple long pass, Gao Fei drove the ball through halftime with his right foot in his backcourt. Balotelli dribbled the ball and attacked, instantly creating a single chance.

Neuer's reaction was very fast and decisive. At the moment when Balotelli formed a single shot, he rushed out, fell to the ground outside the penalty area, put a shovel, and finally kicked the ball back.

But Balotelli still hit Neuer heavily, and the team doctor quickly came on the court. Balotelli did not foul. He might have just not expected Neuer to be so brave and decisive.

The problem is not big. The team doctor gave a decision to continue the game after the examination. This time the whole game was over, and the referee gave five minutes of stoppage time.

Now the German team can only score a goal in the last five minutes, and they will only have the chance to advance to the next round by defeating Italy.

The German team was already like a mad dog. In the 92nd minute, Gundogan passed the ball from the edge of the penalty area on the right. Brandt first let the ball go, shook the defender away, and then went forward to shoot.

The ball hit the post directly.

The moment he bounced back to the small penalty area, Werner, who was mediocre throughout the game, entered the net in stoppage time, but he decided that the goal was invalid before he celebrated the referee, because the lineman had raised the flag and was completely offside when he shot.

It was too obvious that even Werner didn't argue.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Immobile got a chance to counterattack, but was kicked by Gundogan who was back in defense at the top of the penalty area, and Huang Geshika was a free kick package.

When Gao Fei set the ball, 95 minutes had already finished, but the referee still gave him time to attack.

I don’t know if Gao Fei’s fallen leaf ball was too good or if Neuer’s mental state was already very poor, the ball was directly hung in the upper right corner of the goal.

2 to 1

It's over, everything is over.

Although the referee had not blew the whistle to the end of the game at this time, many German players had already fallen on the grass, buried their heads deeply, and started to cry.

Once they lost this game, they lost three games in the group stage. Two of them were 100% eliminated, just like the South Korean team, both of which were defeated.

Italy and Mexico won two wins at the same time, and the team that has already formed a qualifying team in their group.

In the last round, the showdown between Mexico and Italy has completely lost its meaning, because no matter who loses and who wins, they will be able to qualify in the end.

The last round left to Germany and South Korea is their battle of dignity.

The fall of the German team and the rise of Italy have become the focus of world football in recent days.

As the last World Cup champions, they were unable to break out of the group stage, and this result would add some highlights to the curse of defending the champion.

The 2002 World Cup champion France team was eliminated in the group stage, the 2006 World Cup champion Brazil team was terminated in the quarterfinals, the 2010 World Cup champion Italy team was eliminated in the group stage, and the 2014 World Cup champion Spain team was eliminated in the group stage.

Then add to this year, the 2014 World Cup champion was eliminated in the group stage.

Four of the last five World Cups have been played, and their last champions have been kicked out of the group stage, and even the best Brazilian team has stopped in the quarterfinals.

This reminds some spells.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, and Gao Fei did not return to the locker room as soon as possible. He walked slowly and met the German players along the way. Gao Fei also comforted them with great sincerity.

Especially when encountering the Rockets Reus, Gao Fei directly asked to exchange jerseys with the opponent.

Dortmund has trained too many young rookies in recent years, but the only one who can stay in the end is Reus. Gao Fei often studies the characteristics of offensive players. Reus is one of the offensive players he appreciates and likes more.

"You can continue in the next session," Gao Fei could only comfort them like this with Reus' jersey.

At the press conference after the game, the head coach of the German team, Löw, was bombarded by the media. They were eager to dig out some news from Löw's mouth, some news they were interested in. For example, why did the German team lose to Mexico in the first game? For example, is there any problem within the German team? And, when will Löw be dismissed?

"The most important reason why the team plays like this is that our coaching staff has not made any tactical arrangements."

Lof is a very calm person. He rarely loses his mind in public, so even if these media make things difficult for them, Lof still calmly takes all the responsibilities on himself.

"When we were fighting Mexico in the first leg, we had a very obvious mistake, tactical, and then today, we had a 60% possession rate on the court, but why was it us who lost the ball?"

"Italy has such a strong defensive ability, and they like to play defensive counterattacks so much. Why do we lose in defensive counterattacks?"

"Many things cannot be explained to you here. Only through continuous review and thinking after the game can we summarize the reasons for the failure."

"The failure this year does not mean that we will always fail. As long as we find the real roots of the German team, I believe we will definitely return to the top."

What everyone didn't expect was that three days later, in the third round of the group, in the face-to-face battle with the South Korean team, the German team still lost, and lost 0-2 to South Korea.

This failure also directly caused the German fans to break the defense. They lost three games in three rounds, scored one goal and conceded five goals.
