The change was very effective, and the Spanish players felt a lot of pressure in the face of the more ferocious pressing of the German players, and they could no longer complete the pass as they wanted, and the errors began to increase.

Although they still dominated the tempo, the Germans clearly eased the pressure on their defence, and they also took advantage of this respite to launch a couple of dangerous counter-attacks.

Especially when the first half was near the end, the German team's counterattack momentum was more violent, shrinking the defensive line and strengthening the defense, perhaps because it was suppressed by the strong midfield control of the Spanish team, but there was no idea of "recuperating and waiting for the opportunity".

In the 41st minute, the German team made a long pass from the backfield, Podolski stopped the ball on the side and broke through quickly to the bottom line and crossed, Klose ran like a fish to shake off Puyol, and shook his head in front of the goal, and the football was saved by Casillas.

In the 43rd minute, it was Klose's run at the edge of the box that created a chance for his team-mate. Kroos suddenly cut in, faced with Klose's return ball, got up and fired low, and the ball went out of the bottom line against the turf and passed the goal.

Germany's best chance to score came in the 46th minute, that is, in the stoppage time of the first half, when the young teenager Ozil made a continuous breakthrough in the middle, and Fan Bizhuang returned to defend at high speed, but was pulled by the opponent's clever flick and shrewd, shaking off a trace of space. Fan Bizhuang wanted to turn around and stick to it again, but Ozil seemed to have realized it, and he also knew that he could not compete with Fan Bizhuang in terms of flexibility and speed, so he immediately passed the football out.

And his passing was also full of imagination, and it was like a scalpel that tore through the entire Spanish defence, and Klose cut in diagonally and received the ball into the box. Fortunately, Casillas's energy was very concentrated, and he immediately abandoned the goal, Klose barely got up to shoot at a very small angle, and the football was knocked out of the bottom line by Casillas falling to the ground and waving his palm.

"Oh oh, oh, the successive breakthroughs from Bremen youngster Mesut Ozil are really surprising, he actually deceived Fan Du into passing the ball...... Klose has gone it alone! Casillas abandons the goal! ”

"Nice save! In this goalkeeper-striker duel, Casillas had the last laugh, he successfully blocked the opponent's shot, and San Cassie once again saved the Spanish team! ”

"Germany missed their best chance to score! It has to be said that although this attack did not score a goal, it was extremely dangerous, and the performance of the teenager Ozil was amazing! ”

Fan Bizhuang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that his little fan brother, the ball quotient is so high, and he has always used his speed and body to defend repeatedly, and he was so easily resolved by the opponent, and completed a wonderful pass.

However, it was immediately relieved that perhaps Ozil's reputation on the European continent was not obvious before, but he was able to become the main midfield of the German team and played with the team to the semi-finals, and his ability must be surprising. There are so many heroes in the world, and those with outstanding talents are like carp across the river, Fan Bizhuang was not like this back then, when he was not famous, who knew who "Fan Bizhuang" would be, but facts have also proved that capable players will always have a day when they become famous and known to the world.

Mesut Ozil stood still and saw his team-mate's shot saved by the goalkeeper, which made him stomp his foot in some chagrin, and when he turned around, he saw that his idol was looking at him.

This made him a little embarrassed, and his face was slightly red.

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Ozil smiled and said, "Ha, idol, I'm really sorry, this time I ......"

Fan Bizhuang was so hung that he was not choked to death in one breath, if it wasn't for the other party's appearance, it was indeed just an "explanation", I am afraid that he would mistakenly think that Ozil was provoking himself. Do you talk like that, what kind of apology is this, to apologize for the fact that I was breached, this is really ......

Shaking his head, Fan Bizhuang glanced at him: "You are very good, Mesut." But you have to be careful in the next game, I won't show mercy! ”

After speaking, Fan Bizhuang took a deep look at him and ran away.

Ozil was full of joy and excitement, and he automatically ignored the second half of his idol's words, complacent: "Ha, Fan said that I am very good, very good." My idol praised me, well, this is the greatest encouragement for me, so ...... Ha, I'm going to work harder! If I can beat the team led by Van , he will definitely be even more impressed with me! ”

……

The first half of the game ended with a score of 0:0, and the Spanish team had a great advantage in terms of field and statistics, but although the offensive continued, it was unable to score the advantage and score.

The German team was slightly inferior, but it was not without the power to counter-attack, after all, it is the top team in Europe, and the strength is not inferior to the Spanish team, especially the several counter-attacks organized at the end of the first half, which created a great threat to the opponent's goal.

In general, the two teams are half a catty, the Spanish team has a certain advantage, but it is not absolute, and the German team is a little passive, but it can also use counterattacks to create killing opportunities.

Of course, this is only the first half of the game, after all, it is such an important game as the semi-finals, both teams are jealous, did not completely let go of the burden and let go of the battle, although the offensive and defensive ends are intense, but there is still a sense of tentativeness.

This situation will obviously evolve into a more direct and fierce battle in the second half over time, and the football game will always be the winning side, neither Spain nor Germany will want to be the loser, so in order to qualify for the final, there will be a battle of dragons and tigers.

"At the end of the first half, neither team could score, and they were scoreless!"

'Both Germany and Spain created some scoring chances but couldn't take them. The game remained evenly matched. Predictably, the second half will be the real battle between the two teams! ”

"Compared with the German team, the Spanish team has a better advantage in possession, and their pass-and-possession tactics have well contained the German team's offensive. I think Van might have had more of a performance in the second half, in the first half Van played well, but it was just good, maybe he was saving for the second half? In any case, as the sharpest arrows of the Spanish team, the Matadors can defeat strong opponents to advance to the final, and Fan will definitely play a decisive role. ”

At half-time, Bosque did not make any changes to the team's starting line-up, but only offered his opinion on some subtleties.

In fact, although the team failed to score in the first half, there were a lot of chances created in terms of the scene and the chances created, and the Spanish team had a certain advantage, so Bosque believes that the team's lineup and style of play do not need to be greatly adjusted, as long as they stick to the style of football they are good at, they can ensure the restraint of the German team.

Of course, Bosque expressed his displeasure with several threatening attacks launched by the German team at the end of the first half, and criticized several defenders in the defence, demanding that his players must protect the central midfield while attacking, and not allow their own defence to face the German counter-attack.

On the offensive side, Bosque named Van Bizhuang.

"Fan, I need you to increase your range of activities. The German team's regional defense is not easy to crack, running, constantly running, is the best way to drag them down, you know this better than me. Moreover, compared to the opponent's stubborn defense, the German team's zone marking should be easier for you. ”

Fan Bizhuang nodded and accepted the manager's criticism.

In fact, in the first half, Fan Bizhuang felt the pressure brought by the opponent's regional defense, indeed, the relative stalking of people and the combination of multiple defensive players, the German team's regional defense, his space for activity will be greater, but this does not mean that the resistance he faces will be smaller, Khedira follows him all the time, and whenever he enters an area, there will be a player who comes to help defend this area, echoing with Khedira before and after, forming a circle, a interference, a follow-up defense, which creates a lot of trouble for him.

And when he realized this, Fan Bizhuang decisively strengthened the range of activities, the effect is not bad, the clever and fast running, with Khedira a little out of breath, and the frequent change of position, also a little surprise, Fan Bizhuang also got a few good breakthroughs and shooting opportunities.

Bosque's suggestion coincided with what he was doing, and Van Bizhuang decided to work harder in the second half, running wide-range to put more pressure on the opposition's defence.

'We have to give it our all, it's the most important game, win and we'll qualify for the final and make history; And defeated...... Of course, I don't think we're going to fail! ”

"We're one of the best teams in the world, we've got the best players in the world, we share the same beliefs, so for the glory, for the final, for the final ...... Champion, we must win! ”

Bosque is an enthusiastic inspiration to his players.

The Spanish players were in high spirits and loudly promised.

……

In another room not far away, Loew had just completed the team's tactical play in the second half, and he also did not make any personnel changes, only to make up for the shortcomings of the team in the first half.

After all this, Loew said to his players: "We lost to Spain two years ago and lost the European Championship, and now we have a chance to get revenge, for the glory we have lost, for the final trophy, we have to get through this toughest hurdle!" ”

At the end, he added: "In the second half we have to limit Fan, he is the most powerful scoring point for Spain, I think they will create more chances for Fan in the second half, if we want to win and qualify for the final, we must completely limit Fan." Defend against Fan and our chances of winning will increase by at least half. So, don't use zone defense, Khedira, you still follow him, Mesut, Tony, you have to help Khedira and help him take some of the pressure off. Remember, our priority is not to get Spain to score first, so you can use any way to do it, I only have one request, keep an eye on him! ”

Several players nodded in response, only Mesut Ozil pouted depressedly: "Ah, if I want to do anything to my idol, I won't do it......"

Before he finished speaking, seeing Loew's stern gaze staring at him, Ozil immediately changed to a smiling face: "No problem, Mr. Juachim, I promise to complete the task and assist my companion in defending Fan Yan while attacking." Don't worry, even though I'm a little fan of him, I'm going to give it my all in the game. ”

Ozil secretly stuck out his tongue and said silently: "I'm sorry, idol, this is not what I want to do, it's all to blame for the vicious manager in front of me......"
