Chapter 65: Ozil
“3:2! The Orange defeated South American powerhouse Uruguay and became the first team to reach the final of this World Cup! ”
"Johannesburg Football Stadium has welcomed its eventual owners, the Netherlands, congratulations on their return to the World Cup final after 32 years!"
"This is the most important moment in the history of Dutch football, and the uncrowned king has the opportunity to change his destiny! Perhaps, they will win the first ever international tournament in Dutch football! ”
Van Bommel, Sneijder, Robben...... Their goal secured the Orange to the final. Create miracles and write history, right now! ”
"Now, all the Dutch need is to wait, and when the winner between Germany and Spain is decided, they will continue to fight for the final title and glory!"
……
Fan Bizhuang and his teammates watched the live broadcast of the semi-finals together in the conference room of the hotel.
There weren't too many surprises for the Dutch to qualify first. While the title "Uncrowned King" may sound embarrassing in substance, it is undeniable that the Dutch have always been one of the most important forces in world football, they are strong, there is no shortage of superstars, and it may be "fate" that they have not won a major tournament, but they have the ability to beat any team in the world.
There is nothing to say about the promotion of the Dutch team, to the surprise of the Spanish players, Uruguay, the team that was not noticeable before the start of the World Cup, but it was dark and bright, not only from the group to beat Italy to qualify, and then went all the way to the semi-finals, and in the semi-finals, their performance was also remarkable, in the face of the Netherlands team that was obviously better, they played not conservatively at all, quite a bit of attacking against attacking.
Dutch football is widely known, but Uruguay is going to play against the orange team, and they are doing a good job, they use tenacity and never give up attitude, almost forced the Dutch team into an extremely difficult situation, if Uruguay is a little more lucky, can drag the game into extra time, or even a penalty shootout, then it is really hard to say who will enter the final.
In any case, Uruguay's performance is enough to make all football lovers around the world awe-inspiring them.
While his teammates were lamenting the promotion of the Dutch team and the tenacity of Uruguay, Van Bizhuang hesitated for a moment before calling friends such as Forlan and Godin to offer condolences.
For the ability of these two friends, Fan Bizhuang is very convinced, after all, they have been fighting side by side for several years, and he knows very well what level of player the other party is, and it is unceremonious to say that in the position of striker and central defender, Forlan and Godin are world-class respectively, maybe they have not played in the giants, but their ability is no worse than any of the giants.
Needless to say, Forlan's goals every season are extremely stable and objective, and he has also won the league Golden Boot, while Godin, although young, is extremely calm, whether it is positioning, emptying, or one-on-one defensive ability, Godin has the ability to be a top central defender.
These two players are the absolute core of the front line and defence, and it is under their leadership that Uruguay have played exceptionally well in this tournament, and with the likes of Suarez, Cavani and Lugano in their squad, it is not too surprising that Uruguay can reach the last four, they have such quality.
After Fan Bizhuang called, he didn't talk much to Forlan and Godin, but only gave a few words of encouragement, saying that their performance in the World Cup was excellent.
The two friends were not in high spirits, and after two words of blessing, they hung up the phone.
Fan Bizhuang was relieved, not that the relationship between several old friends had weakened because they were not in the same club, but at this moment, Fran and Godin's mood was obviously in a low period. After all, even if Uruguay did not have too ambitious plans before, but after entering the semi-finals, no one would not have the luxury of going further, but now the desire to go further has failed, and anyone will be depressed and regretful.
"What are you doing, Fan?"
When Fan Bizhuang put away the phone and was about to re-enter the conference room, he happened to meet Cazorla and Senna, who were walking out. Cazorla looked at him with the phone, confused.
"Like you, give Diego a call." Fan Bizhuang replied with a smile.
Cazorla was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Thinking about those two guys, I must be in a bad mood at the moment." ”
Fan Bizhuang nodded, waved his hand, and prepared to leave.
"That's right, Fan."
Cazorla suddenly stopped him, Fan Bizhuang turned his head, and saw Cazorla shaking the phone in his hand and looking at him with burning eyes: "Do you think we can beat the German team and enter the final?" ”
As he spoke, he added, "You know, I'm going to call those two guys, well, what I'm trying to say...... If you think we're going to make it to the finals, then I'll tell them to stop upsetting because we're going to help them out in the finals! ”
Senna next to him was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Fan Bizhuang also laughed.
"Of course."
Fan Bizhuang smiled, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
"That's it! Tell Diego and we'll help you beat the Dutch team all over the place! ”
……
The Netherlands were the first to qualify for the final, sending the world into a state of buzz, and a day later, all eyes were on the city of Durban in South Africa.
Today, at the Durban Stadium, the second team of the World Cup to qualify for the final will be decided.
The semi-finals between the German team and the Spanish team will start on time at five o'clock local time, and near four o'clock, the ticket inspection work of the Durban Stadium has begun, and soon, this modern professional stadium that can accommodate nearly 90,000 spectators is already full, full of people, the players on both sides have not yet appeared on the field, the atmosphere in the stands has been warm, the fans in the stands or shouting, or waving, or doing a game of stacking people, The whole grandstand was filled with the noise of one after another.
After a short wait, the players of both teams appeared on the field and began to have their final warm-up activities before the game.
'There is not much time left before the start of the game and we can see that the players from both sides are already warming up on the pitch. Klose and Podolski were doing passing exercises, while captain Lahm was jogging...... Oh oh oh, the cheers at the scene suddenly increased, oh, it turned out to be Fan! With the cooperation of his teammates, he completed a good free kick from long distance. Ha, I have to say that the current Fan Ke is a real popular player, and he may be the most popular player among fans on this field. Of course, he also has such capital, six goals in four games, and Van has been insanely good at his performance! Obviously, it looks like he's in great shape today, Germany have to be careful, Van Korn is an absolutely dangerous guy who can make any opponent tremble under his feet! ”
The players were warming up on the pitch and cheered by more than a dozen professional football commentators from all over the world, who started their work from now on, while introducing the two teams and the historical record of the two sides.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the clock pointed to 4:50, and the final pre-match preparations of the two teams had come to an end, and at the signal of the referee, the starters of the two players lined up side by side, and then shook hands with each other in salute.
Fan Bizhuang slowly walked forward with his teammates, and every time he passed by a German player, he stretched out his hand and shook the opponent tightly.
Although everyone has to compete with each other with all their strength on the field, the competitive spirit of football must still be observed.
To Fan Bizhuang's surprise, when the handshake ceremony came to a big-eyed young player, the other party directly grabbed his hand, shook it, and then gave him a big bear hug.
"Fan! Fan!! ”
"Ha, I'm Mesut! I'm your fan! I've seen a lot of your game footage and wow, you've played awesomely, whether it's the way you handle the ball, or the breakaway, or the shots...... You've done a fantastic job! ”
Fan Bizhuang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came over, it turned out that the big-eyed young man in front of him was Ozil, who unabashedly expressed his reverence and admiration for himself in the newspaper.
Before, Fan Bizhuang thought that the other party was just touting, but now looking at the other party's excited look, it is no different from ordinary fans, it seems that the other party is really a "true fan" of his own.
"It's an honor for you to like me. But this was before the game, and you behaved like that...... Uh, excited, aren't you worried about worrying your teammates? ”
Before the big game, he made a passionate pursuit of the opponent in the game, anyway, I don't know what Ozil thinks, but this matter has to be put on him, and it will definitely not be done, if it is not good, it will bring a blow to the confidence of his team, and it will also have an impact on morale.
To Fan Bizhuang's surprise, the German players just glanced this way twice, and someone showed a rolling expression, and then turned his head away from paying attention.
Ozil pursed his lips and said excitedly, "Of course not. My friends know I'm your fan, my room is covered with your posters, and I admire you the most among the active players. Fan, you are really good, very powerful, I want to aim for you and move forward bravely! ”
"Ha, then I wish you good luck and all your wishes come true."
Fan Bizhuang also had a lot of good feelings for the upright boy in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, but was outspoken, he nodded and sent his blessings.
"Thank you. You see, although you are my idol, but in this game, I will not let out the water, and my teammates and I will definitely beat you! ”
Fan Bizhuang smiled, nodded again, patted the other man on the shoulder, and walked to the next German player.
