Germany's big wins over England and Argentina in the knockout stages speak volumes about their strength.

Among the top four teams, Germany is the team that has played the most against strong teams, and their weight in the top four is the heaviest.

Now the battle at the top has become a half-time attack and defense, which is really surprising, and it also confirms the strength of Spain.

In the face of a formidable opponent, the resilient Germans attacked from the right, and captain Lahm took the lead, forcing his way through Capdevilla's defence and crossing the middle!

After the German attacking midfielder Trokhovski took the ball, he suddenly fired a cold arrow, and the football flew towards the right side of the goal!

The ball was so powerful and angular that Casillas didn't dare to hold it up, jumped up, and touched the football with his right hand!

The soccer ball changes direction slightly and continues to move forward!

The air at Durban Stadium is almost frozen!

Who would have thought that the first shot of the German team would create a chance to score!

Between the lightning and flint, the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the column!

"Boom! ……”

There was a huge exclamation at the Durban Stadium.

Spanish national television praised Casillas fiercely: "Casillas! Magical Casillas, who saved a powerful long-range shot from the German midfield! ”

The Argentines have always been obsessed with being eliminated by Germany, and the Argentine national television commentator ridiculed: "Thirty-two minutes, it took the Germans thirty-two minutes to get their first shot on goal, and it was a long-range shot!" ”

"Are they putting all their energy into playing against Argentina?"

Germany is also the bitter master of Argentina, and the 90-year World Cup champion Maradona led Argentina to stumble all the way to the final, where he met the Germanic chariot led by Mateus.

The Germans defeated the Pampas Eagles with a penalty kick that brought Maradona to tears in Italy.

In this World Cup, Maradona returned to the World Cup, but his identity changed, from a player to a coach.

In the quarter-finals, the two teams met again, Maradona vowed to take revenge before the game, but the Germans beat Argentina cleanly and cleanly.

Maradona once again burst into tears at the World Cup, and in the midst of great disappointment and frustration, he even clashed with German fans after the game.

In this game, Spain controlled the situation with passing tactics, coupled with the amazing performance of the defenders, and it was only in the 32nd minute of the first half that the German team completed the first shot on goal.

This gave the Argentines an opportunity to ridicule.

The ESPN commentator said: "This is the longest time Germany has waited for its first shot at the World Cup since 1966! ”

In the ensuing moment, the two sides once again engaged in fierce battles in midfield, and both teams invested heavily in the defense and did not create any chances for the opponent to shoot.

The atmosphere on the field was extremely dreary, which disappointed fans all over the world, and this was a showdown at the pinnacle.

Where's the wonderful one?

Where did the clever fit go?

The French commercial sports narrator said: "Compared to yesterday's semi-final, this semi-final is disappointing......

The clock quickly entered first-half stoppage time, and the controversial decision appeared, Klose broke through a through ball in the heart of Spain, Ozil flew up to make contact with Ramos and fell in the box, and the Hungarian referee Kasaj did not interrupt the game!

"Shhhh ……”

There was a huge boo at the Durban Stadium.

The Spaniard ignored the boos of the German fans and immediately launched a quick counter-attack, and the football moved to the German half.

Pedro volleys from 26 yards in front of goal!

The soccer ball is heading towards the goal!

The shot was angled too square, and Neuer easily held the ball.

The referee then blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 0-0.

The Spanish national television commentator defended the dreary situation: "It's a semi-final, the winner will have the opportunity to fight for the highest honours in football, no one wants to fall outside the final, so it's normal for both sides to focus on defense. ”

'Anyway, Spain created a lot more chances than Germany, which shows that we are better than Germany in attack.

The German national television commentator muttered: "Loew had to make a change, it was very troublesome to go on like this, we didn't even get a set-piece chance in the first half.

If Ballack hadn't been injured, the German team would never have been so passive! ”

The Argentine national television commentator scoffed: "Half-game, forty-five minutes, the Germans only have one shot on goal, don't they feel ashamed?" ”

……

In the German dressing room, the atmosphere was depressing, and Loew worked hard to rejuvenate the team after he came to power, and young people like Lahm were reused, and even replaced Ballack as captain.

This approach was supported by reformers in the country, but it was also criticized by conservatives.

The conservative critic justified the criticism by saying that "when it comes to key games, the veterans will use their experience to lead the team through difficult periods." There's nothing wrong with young people having passion, but it's not enough to be passionate in the later stages of the competition, you need experience! ”

Judging from the first half of the game, the reason why Germany was so passive, the lack of midfield was a very important reason.

Looking at the dull players, Loew broke the silence in the dressing room and said: "The first half is over, we have to focus on the second half. ”

"We didn't score, but we didn't let Spain score either......"

"We have to be ready for extra time, we have to be patient......

……

After a fifteen-minute half-time break, players from both sides returned to the pitch.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the German players regained their morale and the Spanish players were even more motivated.

"Tick! ……”

With the referee's whistle, the decisive battle of the second half began.

Spain changed from the unhurried first half, began to press aggressively from the start of the game, and soon tackled the football to attack Germany.

In the third minute of the second half, Pedro dribbled back on the right rib, and Alonso fired a low shot wide of the right post from 25 meters in front of the goal!

Two minutes later, Spain made a comeback, Ramos crossed back from the right, Xavi didn't stop the ball and went straight to the side, and Alonso's left-footed volley from 23 meters in front of goal went wide again!

The opposition launched a series of threatening attacks on the right flank, and Germany coach Loew immediately made a personnel change, replacing Boateng with Janssen.

Spain continued to control the situation with their strong midfield strength, and in the 10th minute of the second half, Andres Iniesta and Xavi crossed in succession, and Villa's shot from 18 meters from the goal on the left side went wide of the far post!

Three minutes later, the Spaniards came back again, attacking from the left.

Capdevilla and Iniesta kick the wall after a low cross from the left, Alonso turned his back in the penalty area, and Pedro volleyed from 20 meters in front of the goal!

The ball was saved by Neuer to the right, and after the transition between Pedro and Alonso, Iniesta burst into the left side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle, and the ball flew towards the far corner!

Villa flies forward and shoots!

But he failed to touch the football!

Spain missed a great chance to score!

But the morale of Spain was already high at the moment, and they encouraged each other, and three minutes later they snatched the football at their feet again and launched a quick counter-attack.

Pedro receives Xavi's cross and shoots a low left-footed shot wide of the right post from the top of the box!

Spain launched a siege, which made German fans worry, where is the German team that won strong victories against England and Argentina......
