13. African elephants are coming

Drogba - a terrifying beast that would make all defenders shudder at the sight of the name.

He has almost destroyed the defence of the Premier League teams and the pride of those top defenders, who are considered a monster.

Although they are different from Ronaldo and Du Yang, Drogba is undoubtedly labeled as an alien by everyone.

The Ivory Coast are considered to be the spoilers and dark horses of Group A. In the opening game of the group stage, they were tied at a point after falling behind 0-2, causing big problems for the uncrowned Tulip Army Dutch team.

They came close to capsizing the Dutch in the gutter in the opening game. And it was their national hero, Didier Drogba, who brought such a change to the Ivorian team.

You can't imagine Du Yang's influence on the world, and you can't feel Drogba's influence on the entire nation of Côte d'Ivoire.

He made football the most popular sport in the country, and he gave hope to Ivorian teenagers who were still hungry and cold.

Drogba, Kalaw, Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure, who make up the main squad of African elephants, make this gang from the Elephant Coast not to be underestimated...... Again, this game is considered the most crucial game, and if Germany can win the second game of the group stage, then they will likely qualify for the group stage early, as long as the Netherlands draw or win the other game...... All the Germans got a holiday today, and they came to the stadium wearing their national flags and all kinds of clothes...... The Westphalia of Dortmund, the stadium that is considered to be the most invincible.

The American press called the stadium the world's first masterpiece. As long as it's a home team against Borussia Dortmund, it's never going to be a hit, every round, every game!

The fans here are crazy about football, many of the fans here are miners, they are not at the top of society, for them, Dortmund is their pillar...... And now, the German team has put the second game here, which is the German team hoping to take advantage of the terrifying home atmosphere here to win the second game!

"Guys! We're about to hit the pitch and I hope you'll be able to get motivated for our only one! "Klinsmann's pre-match mobilization was still in place, and the boys were all motivated.

Podolsky put on the captain's armband for Du Yang, and looking at the team badge, Podolsky said: "Du, today will decide whether we can qualify!" ”

Du Yang nodded: "I will play this game as if it was the last game, Lucas." ”

Hearing what Du Yang said, everyone nodded, the German team couldn't compare the lineup with the Brazilian team, and they couldn't compare the tactics with the Argentine team...... They fall short in many ways, but their determination to win is strong.

This is the homegrown, this is the homegrown!

They were to defend the glory of German football, starting with the Bernese miracle and continuing in the Beckenbauer era, then Mateus, then Klinsmann, Bierhoff, Ballack...... To this day, Du Yang is a milestone in the history of German football, and he is currently the captain of the German team.

When the referee informed the players that they could walk on the field, Du Yang walked in the front. He was followed by starting goalkeeper Robert Enke, Lahm, Westermann, Metzelde, Mertesacker, Rolfes, Schweinsteiger, Podolski, Helmers, Klose... This is a young German team, a team that has always been full of youth and passion! It's a team full of hope.

In the dressing room, the lads saw their opponents, African elephants from Côte d'Ivoire.

Big, fast, maybe that's the first impression of their size on the German players. Drogba, how heroic this bloodthirsty beast looks.

If Drogba is described as an ancient martial artist, Du Yang will definitely choose Zhang Fei, and taking the head of the general in the chaotic army is like probing for something. Again, Drogba scored a lot of goals and the two have a lot of similarities.

He will be the toughest opponent for Germany in the second game, and the German defenders are focused and the much-doubted German defenders will be hoping to respond to the doubts of the journalists with their brilliant performances...... No one is born with a penchant for criticism, no one is a masochist, and it's a blessing for a player to be complimented...... "Du! I feel like my heart is about to pop out! Podolsky said nervously.

Patting Porti on the shoulder, Du Yang smiled, "Lucas, don't be afraid, we will definitely win this game." Believe in yourself! As the political commissar of this team, Du Yang sometimes feels that Beckenbauer should pay him more salary.

"Alright, let's get out." As the referee finished speaking to the players of both teams, the FIFA fair play began to play, and Du Yang took his teammates to the Dortmund-Westphalia Stadium, where the cheers of more than 70,000 fans enveloped the place...... The stadium is lit up in every corner, the German flag flutters in the wind, and cheers and applause make it a mecca for fans...... This is the Westphalian Stadium in Dortmund, the stadium that never fails.

"Welcome to Westphalia, the stadium that never fails." This is what the live host said to the fans over the radio.

The German team's appearance intensified the cheers of the audience, which could burst people's eardrums...... Some fans wore earplugs to protect their ears from misfortune.

The scorching air didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the fans!

This is the home of the German team, and the Ivorians are feeling the pressure.

With the end of the German national anthem and the national anthem of Côte d'Ivoire, the atmosphere of the scene has reached an unprecedented level!

The German national anthem, full of power, still echoes in the minds of every fan, and the live host follows the broadcast!

"Today, it's still full! There is no need to report the number of people! ”

This is the pride of Dortmund fans! This is the pride of the Ruhr area! This is the pride of German football! Never fail! Always full! This is the Westphalen Stadium in Dortmund!

The only 3,000 Ivorian fans in the stadium felt the pressure and their ears were filled with the cheers of the German fans! Some neutral fans also had to choose to support the hosts, and the atmosphere here was so frenetic!

The strict Germans also have their own crazy side, on the football field, the German fans are constantly cheering for the home team with the cheers of the very disciplined and organizational surname!

When the referee blew the start of the game, his face was covered with sweat, such a sense of depression was unprecedented! As long as he blows a wrong penalty, as long as he blows a foul on the German team, then he will be personally attacked by more than 70,000 German fans! This is the crazy World Cup field.

The African elephants are obviously not afraid of such a scene, and it has to do with the fact that they have a lot of good players who play overseas, and Drogba is the man who has mixed up with Anfield, and at Anfield, Drogba has been booed like this again.

England fans are also crazy, he survived Old Trafford and the Emirates Stadium, what else can't?

Drogba hopes that his homeland will work miracles, and the face of this strong man is full of thirst for glory!

There is no one who is not hungry for a championship, but Drogba's hunger still has to say that it is a good work ethic that he has!

As the game began, the bloodthirsty monster also led his teammates to attack the door of the German team!

Hard work can bring miracles, and God rewards hard work!

The German players were subjected to a Premier League-style sense of pressure after the opening, and this rhythm is exactly the rhythm of the Premier League. It's not the same as the first game, the Americans are fierce, and the Ivorians are fierce and fast!

The African players are physically flexible and resilient, which makes the somewhat stiff German players uncomfortable. And the German players, who have been used to the rhythm of the Bundesliga for a long time, began to make mistakes under such a fast pace of handling the ball.

Yaya Toure showed his beastly caste, and the strong, hard-nosed player held the Germans back with his vicious defensive moves and foul after foul.

The Ivorians seem determined to pull Germany off top of the group!

"It's so fast, I feel like I can't keep up." Podolski took advantage of a foul in Côte d'Ivoire to complain to Du Yang.

Du Yang nodded: "This rhythm is really not good for us. Their fitness is good, and it's not as hot and humid as it used to be...... So, even if they keep running like this, they won't have a problem......"

"But! It's a very impatient way of playing, and we'll have a chance. ”

As the midfield commander of the German team, the coach on the pitch and the final decider, oh, and the political commissar, Du Yang felt the determination and perseverance of the Ivorians.

If the African teams have that determination, it will be very difficult to deal with. Because once an African player goes crazy, he is likely to play beyond his potential...... If the German team does not come up with a change sooner, the rest of the game will be very, very disadvantaged...... All the German fans and German players put their expectations on Du Yang, their captain...... The guy they trust the most...... They firmly believed that Du Yang would lead Germany out of the predicament.

"Basdian, control the tempo!" Du Yang shouted to Schweinsteiger, the pig who was preparing a long pass, and now the German team's top priority is to stabilize the tempo, rather than follow the Ivory Coast team to attack.

Piggy Schweinsteiger, who received Du Yang's order, didn't think much about it, he handed the ball to Du Yang's feet with a knockback, and Du Yang began to control the rhythm in the midfield.

"The rhythm, slow down, Du did a good job, if we run like this, we will be very disadvantaged." Commentator Myers highly praised Du Yang's ability to read the game.

On the field, the German team controlled the game with a pass under the leadership of Du Yang, which was taught by Guardiola to use possession instead of defense when he was in Cologne. Although the German team could not fully realize it, because of the good cooperation and tacit understanding of the players, the German team was also able to reproduce the trick of the Cologne team.

The Ivorians were still pushing frantically, but they were finding it difficult to get the ball from the feet of the German players, who were always passing the ball around...... Their movement seemed pointless, and they couldn't get the ball at the feet of the German players at all.

The applause began to ring, and the German team's tacit passing and cutting cooperation even the fans couldn't help but applaud it, it was so beautiful, such an attack was so beautiful, and the players of the German team used the ball to start attacking.

"yes, that's our pace, not too fast, not too slow!" Du Yang smiled evilly, as the midfield commander, he calmly dispatched the team's attack.

"Damn! Go grab their balls! Drogba fiercely rushed to the German team's defender Rolfes, Rolfes hurriedly used his body to protect the ball, because he couldn't dodge, Rolfes was also knocked down by Drogba.

The referee thought Drogba had committed a deliberate foul in a fit of rage, and he threw a yellow card to the Beast. Drogba didn't seem to understand the decision, and he tried to talk to the referee, but Yaya Toure pulled him back.

"Don't worry, we have a chance, it's impossible for them to penetrate our attack if they pass around like this." Yaya Toure said to Drogba, who was in a state of anger.

Drogba nodded: "Damn the Germans, do they want to play or not?" What's the point of passing the ball around, football is more than just a passing sport! ”

Yaya Toure also agrees with Drogba: "I think they must be trying to push us and then take advantage of our weaknesses and launch a counterattack, we must not be fooled." ”

Glancing at Yaya Toure, Drogba said: "Yes, we must not fall for this, the Germans are too bad." ”

As the game continued, the Ivory Coast players controlled their emotions a little and it was obvious that the players were very excited.

"That's a good result...... Then came the surprise attack. Du Yang smiled, if you think that the German team can only pass the ball, then the Ivory Coast team is undoubtedly fooled.

Just when the German team was passing the ball, in the 20th minute of the game, the players of the Ivory Coast team were careless! Du Yang's heart was excited, he knew that Helmers was plugged in! It's a hint of the partner system and a good opportunity for the German team.

Du Yang used a very hidden pass to cross the ball through the blind spot, and the Ivorian defenders were surprised to see Du Yang's ball pass past them.

The ball seemed to have been carefully set, and the players of the Ivory Coast team did not have time to react! Despite their players' flexibility, explosiveness and speed, the Germans made them suffer with the simplest of combinations.

Ivory Coast defender Colo Toure was chasing the goal, but Helmers had already stepped in...... Some of the German fans in action were already chanting Patrick, and for Helmers, all he needed was to get the ball into the back of the net...... But he disappointed the German fans when Helmers' shot went off track...... "Hey, Patrick's form is not good?" Looking at Helmers' final shot, Du Yang was a little worried, it was impossible for Helmers to have such a situation in the past...... But today, it seems that something is different!

He's still good to run and plug in, but the shooting feels terrible.

On the sidelines, Klinsmann frowned. It looks like Helmers is carrying a baggage. Starting from the match against Macedonia, because of Klose's strong outburst and the wonderful performance of his teammates, the Bundesliga Golden Boot was burdened...... There is no doubt that Helmers is the best scorer in the Bundesliga, and his scoring ability has made many giants look at him...... He is the third consecutive champion of the Bundesliga Golden Boot!

He has scored more than 25 goals for three years in a row...... This is only in the Bundesliga, knowing that it took him only 3 seasons to score more than 100 goals for Cologne...... He and Podolsky should be sharp...... And Du Yang and his tacit understanding are very good...... However, Helmers is now scared, fighting on home soil and competing with his teammates.

Although Klose started with him, Germany were looking to remove a striker after the last game, as Klinsmann wanted to add a midfielder due to a weakness in the midfield position.

Since then, Helmers has had a baggage on his heart, and he is afraid that he will be eliminated, that he will be eliminated by the German team.

This baggage prevents the top scorer in the Bundesliga from fully exploiting his strengths, and the default partner system does not help him. Because it's Helmers' own psychological shadow.

However, Du Yang still gave Helmers two chances, but he seemed to be lacking in confidence, and he kicked them off...... "Well, Helmers has missed three great scoring opportunities, the camera is aimed at Klose, if the ball is passed to Klose, will it be better?" Narrator Myers questioned.

Indeed, Du Yang's giving of the ball in the midfield seems to be a little biased...... Helpless, Du Yang had no choice but to aim the direction of attack on the right side. Klose was indeed in better form than Helmers, with a couple of headers creating chances...... And his shot is more dangerous than Helmers...... At this time, Podolsky was also worried about Helmers, because he was a teammate, so Podolsky was worried about Helmers' state next...... "This stupid! What do you want to do, can't you just play it yourself? Of course, having said that, Podolsky knew that Helmers's mentality could not be adjusted all at once.

Now the German team is in trouble...... In the stands, Dorothy pouted, "Du, come on!" They can't kick in, you can play yourself......"

As soon as Dorothy finished speaking in the stands, Du Yang sensed this sentence on the field.

Love system, Dorothy's blessing - Du Yang's surname is increased by 10% for 5 minutes, Dorothy's encouragement, Du Yang's morale is increased by 5!

"Is Dorothy cheering me on again? It's amazing. "Marrying such a lovely wife, Du Yang really felt that his decision back then was right!

Love continues! Since Helmers couldn't give his strength, the German team's attack was at a stalemate, so Du Yang had to go out on his own.

Facing Yaya Toure, Du Yang's body seemed to be dancing ballet, and he lightly swept past Yaya Toure with a Cruyff turn. Toure only felt a fresh breeze blowing in his ears, and then Du Yang disappeared from his sight.

"Back to the defense!" Drogba shouted and rushed back to his defensive zone from the German position! What a fierce monster, it looks like he's paying attention to this game!

Du Yang is very careful to protect the ball, he is now a strong enemy in front of him and a chasing soldier behind him! Seeing that Kolo Toure was in front of him, Drogba's pursuit was imminent, and there was Kolo Toure who was chasing back, Du Yang gritted his teeth...... He tensed his calf muscles and gritted his teeth! At this moment, Du Yang is like a fighter who rushes to the front line! There is only one road ahead of him!

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger! For Du Yang, as long as there is this way, it is enough, he can't pass the ball under such interference, such a pass is to give the ball to the other party!

Breaking through became Du Yang's only choice, and in the face of such a strong defense, Du Yang rushed forward!

The defenders of the Ivorian team felt as if the air around them was burning and rising, yes, like a flame, a burning city!

Drogba felt that Du Yang was so impossible to approach, where did this fire-like heat come from? The monster felt the body of the German player in front of him light up...... Yes, it lit up, like the sun, and lit up the entire Westphalian Stadium!

All the German fans felt the warmth of the sun, and Drogba was surprised that he saw Du Yang start! He tried to chase after him, but the figure in front of him was getting farther and farther away from him and Yaya Toure.

Kolo Toure, who was in front of Du Yang, narrowed his eyes, he couldn't look at Du Yang directly, because Du Yang was like a light, and he couldn't open his eyes!

He tried to use fouls to block Du Yang's progress, even if he ate cards, he was willing!

But he couldn't do it! The light rushed past him, through the only gap in the Ivorian defense! Du Yang chose to cut outside!

Such a breakthrough, such an explosive force! He's faster than these native cattle in Africa!

"This guy...... Is it human? Almost all of the TV announcers made such noises...... This guy, is it human?

This breakthrough, such a vivid speed of play, this is Du Yang's new trick born from Du Yang's extreme explosive power - miracle light speed dribbling.

With the sun-like brilliance, with the hope of the German team, and with the belief that the second game will be won, Du Yang cut like a penalty area! Looking at Helmers, who had already run to the position, Du Yang swept the ball to the middle without hesitation.

"Score, Patrick." Du Yang hopes that this goal can restore Helmers' confidence, his running position is still good, what is lacking is luck and self-confidence!

Helmers greeted him, and in front of him was an empty door more than 7 meters wide!

All the German fans have risen from the bench and they have raised their hands high in the air for the moment of the goal!

The host at the scene has already shouted goal...... Bang!

The audience was amazed...... Helmers was dumbfounded, and Du Yang stood in place...... More than 2 meters from the empty gate, Helmers pushed the ...... He pushed the empty door away......
