No. 588: Defeat the Germans the way the Germans do best!

In an extremely passive situation, Loew adjusted again, with youngster Kroos replacing Trokhovski.

But this substitution still failed to change the passive situation on the field, in the eighteenth minute of the second half, Lonso passed diagonally from the left, Ramos stepped forward at the back point and collided with Podolski, and both fell to the ground!

"Penalty!"

"Penalty!"

"Penalty!"

Spain in the stands yelled at the referee, but the referee ignored it and signaled for the game to continue.

In the twenty-third minute of the second half, Pedro split the ball, and Villa volleyed from a small angle on the right side 12 meters from the goal!

A white light flashed, and the football was confiscated by Neuer.

Germany immediately launched a counterattack, Ozil sent a low cross from the left, Podolski took the ball in front of the ball and turned and rubbed it to the back post, Kroos fired a right-footed half-volley into the near corner from eleven meters from the goal!

It was Germany's third shot on goal of the game and the closest they came to scoring.

Casillas bravely blocked the football out of the bottom line!

The German's attack woke up the Spaniards and they slowed down for the rest of the game.

Germany's morale was boosted and Spain engaged in a fierce battle in the midfield, and for a while players from both sides screamed and fell on the turf.

In the 28th minute of the first half, Spain won a hard-fought battle from the midfield, and Andres Iniesta burst into the left side of the box and was destroyed by Schweinsteiger.

Corner kick!

Xavi whipped in a corner from the left, Pique jumped to block Khedira, Puyol leaped high in front of him and flicked his head at a beautiful lion from nine yards out!

The soccer ball changes direction and flies towards the right side of the goal!

The ball was so close to goal that Neuer's outstretched arms failed to touch the ball, and it flew over the goal line and into the net!

The commentator of Spanish national television shouted: "The ball is in!" Entered! Entered! Entered! ……”

The Milan sports commentator shouted: "Puyol! Puyol scored the German's goal in the way the Germans do best! ”

The commentator of the French commercial sports station exclaimed: "One to zero, Spain's efforts were rewarded, they broke the deadlock on the field!" ”

The German national television commentator said bitterly: "Germany had a hole in this corner defense, Puyol completed the header ...... unmarked"

On the pitch, the blonde Puyol is like a lion, darting across the pitch, with Xavi, Iniesta, Villa behind him......

The Spanish bench rushed out with screams, and the Spanish fans in the stands turned the Durban stadium red with a sea of joy......

The German fans were pale and believed their team would have a chance to equalise if their team were to play against Spain.

But the German team has been in a passive position, and in this case they are on the verge of despair......

The Spanish football legends in the stands shouted excitedly, and the German legends sank like water, how could the powerful German team be so passive......

The British ESPN commentator exclaimed: "This is the first time Puyol has scored in 13 World Cup games!"

It was his third goal in 89 international games, and the first time Spain had scored from set-pieces in this World Cup!

Spain have won all 42 of their previous 42 games to take a 1-0 lead! ”

The scene was passive, the score was behind, Loew played the last card in his hand, and replaced the defender Khedira with high school striker Gomez, and the formation of the German team also changed from 4231 to 4132.

At this point, Loew has used up three substitutions.

Spanish coach Sergio Bosque also began to make substitutions, replacing Villa with Torres.

After the restart, the Germans still did not find a way to defeat the enemy, and Spain focused on defending and playing defensive counter-attacks.

In the 37th minute of the second half, Xavi counterattacked with a direct pass, Pedro burst into the right side of the penalty area, and did not pass to Torres, who was in a better position in the middle, only to be blocked by Friedrich, and the ball was cut off by the chasing Kroos.

In desperation, the Germans threatened the Spanish goal with a long-range shot.

In the 40th minute of the second half, Schweinsteiger volleyed with his right foot from 21 meters in front of the goal!

Puyol stepped forward to block the football!

In the ensuing game, Spain slowed down and kept the ball firmly at their feet, never giving the Germans a chance to shoot again until the end of the game.

At the end of three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the match between Germany and Spain was over.

This is the first time Spain have reached the World Cup final and they have made new history!

Since neither the Netherlands nor Spain have won the World Cup, no matter which of them wins the World Cup, a new World Cup winner will be produced!

The commentator of Spanish national television shouted excitedly: "The game is over, Spain has made history and entered the World Cup final for the first time!" It was also their second major final in two years, having beaten Germany to win the European Championship two years ago! ”

The commentator of the French commercial sports station said loudly: "If Germany is the bitter master of Argentina, then Spain is the bitter master of Germany, they have beaten Germany by one goal in two consecutive major tournaments!" ”

The Milan sports narrator gave an interesting statistic: "Spain has become the second team after Germany 2002 to reach the final in three knockout games 1-0. Since 1994, all teams that have eliminated Argentina have been eliminated in the following 1 round! ”

"The Germans did not escape such a fate either!"

The Spanish fans in attendance turned the Durban Stadium into a world of red as their team made history by reaching the World Cup final!

It's something that countless generations of Spanish footballers have dreamed of.

Tears of pain were shed by the German fans.

Far away in Germany, angry German fans lost their cool in the face of great disappointment, and they began to vent their frustration by hitting, smashing, and burning.

Sirens sounded throughout Germany, and the cries were ......

And the land of Spain is jubilant, and there is no sleep in Spain tonight!

At the Durban Stadium, the Spanish players were excited, and in the mixed interview area, a reporter asked Ramos: "Did you know that before the game, Paolo the Octopus had predicted that Spain would win?" ”

Ramos laughed: "Thank you Paul, well, his prediction is very accurate, I hope it predicts that we can win in the final as well!" ”

Speaking to reporters, Puyol, the captain who has contributed to Spain, said: "There is nothing more exciting than beating the Germans in the way that the Germans do best! ”

In the post-match press conference, Loew admitted that there was a gap between the German team and the Spanish team, much to the displeasure of German journalists and domestic football legends.

Mighty Germany defeated England 4-2 and Argentina 4-0, and you even said that Germany was inferior in skills?

Damn, there's something wrong with your tactics, why do you let your players treat the Spaniards so politely?

Shouldn't you make your players a little tougher?.com reading, a better reading experience.
