36. Cloudy Italy

With Germany's 3-2 reversal of Argentina, the host also broke into the final four with great momentum!

All the German fans were in a state of joy...... At this time, bad news came from the Italian team, one of the quarterfinals of the World Cup, and at the regular press conference before the game, all the reporters were asking about a breaking news...... Just on June 27, a few days ago, former Italy international, Juventus player, and Juventus team leader Pesoto jumped from the club's 15th floor office, causing multiple bone fractures after the incident, and his life was in critical condition, and he almost died on the day of the hospital...... Is there a direct connection between the jump in Pexoto and the match-fixing incident? How serious is Mojimen? Piero, Zambrotta and Ferrara flew straight from Germany back to Turin to visit Pesotho, while Buffon, who was unable to make it to Turin, warned reporters not to ask questions about it...... The skies over the Italian team were clouded, and the speculation of journalists cast a shadow over the already stormy Italian football, which is going through its most difficult moment.

Clearing the gloom with victory, with such belief, the Italian team welcomed the Ukrainian team led by the nuclear warhead Shevchenko in the quarterfinals.

Shevchenko, who knows Italian football well, has already scored six goals in his first World Cup...... Juventus' Zambrotta opened the scoring for Italy, and then Italy's Centala Lucatoni scored twice in quick succession to extend his World Cup scoring record to five...... Although Shevchenko scored a face-saving goal for the Ukrainian team in the last minute of the game, the Italian team still advanced to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 3-1, and the Italian team ushered in a heart-wrenching victory!

After the match, Cannavaro and Zambrotta raised the Italian flag with Pesotho's name on it, both as a blessing to the injured and as a good wish to the perilous Italian football...... Shevchenko said goodbye to the fans and the World Cup after the game, and Sheva, who has scored seven goals, has set a brilliant record in his career, and the Ukrainian has made history.

Reaching the semi-finals finally cleared the clouds on the Italians and the Italian fans began to hope for a world title.

…… In the second half, the Netherlands lost against Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo showed his super form! When he scored his fifth and sixth World Cup goals, he challenged Du Yang, who was the top scorer in the rankings...... 2-0, the Portuguese pursued the miracle of the Panther's Eusebio and successfully fulfilled his promise to reach the semi-finals before the match. Cristiano Ronaldo has fully risen and a superstar of world football is shining...... Leaving Du Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo finally proved himself, and he proved to the world that he can also do what Du Yang can do...... Portugal's golden generation is still on the move, Figo, Nuno Gomez, Pauletta...... One Portuguese star after another wanted to create even more glory, and a move into Berlin became a Portuguese dream............ After beating Spain 3-1, the Gallic Roosters welcomed their next opponent, five-star Brazil.

The dream quartet of Ronaldo, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Adriano has scored 12 goals in the previous four games...... Ronaldo surpassed Gerd Muller to become the top scorer in World Cup history...... Brazil's clash with France has also caught the attention of fans around the world, with old rivals from the 1998 World Cup final meeting again, but it is widely believed that Brazil will succeed in revenge and Zidane's World Cup road is coming to an end...... This is Zidane and Ronaldo's second meeting after eight years in the World Cup, and it is also a direct dialogue between the new Ronaldinho and the old Zidane...... The match began to ...... with all kinds of speculation and anticipation: "Du, will the Brazilian team go all the way to the final like this?" Podolsky looked at Du Yang and asked.

Du Yang shook his head, "The whole world thinks that Brazil will defeat France, but I don't think so......"

Zinedine Zidane...... He is the biggest variable, the five-star Brazil is so strong that it is against the sky, but the French team also has its own leaders and hopes.

This game was the same as 8 years ago, Ronaldo was frozen by the French, Ronaldinho seemed to be still immersed in the glory of the Camp Nou, in front of the Frenchman's powerful midfielder Makelele and Vieira, the rising Kaka could not find a feeling, and the king Adriano complained about the referee again and again...... The aging Zidane was full of fighting spirit, and he led the French forward. Marseille slalom and pedaling...... Zidane has performed all kinds of tricks, and the cooperation between Henry and Zidane has become more and more tacit, and it is not Brazil that has scored 16 goals in the previous 4 games that dominates the field, but the stumbling, aging Gallic rooster.

As the game progressed into the second half, Cafu's foul up front became a microcosm of the game, with the arrogant Brazilian defenders chatting at the moment of Zinedine Zidane's free-kick and Robert Carlos shoelaceing up...... Arrogant self-confidence, arrogant strength, the empty-eyed Brazilian team finally suffered at this moment.

It was a perfect combination between Zidane and Thierry Henry, a strike that would go down in history, Zidane's free-kick found Henry in ambush in the box, and Henry's toe shot was just right to give France a 0-0 lead...... The French took the initiative in the game, and in the ensuing match, the Brazilians launched a frantic counterattack, and then, under pressure, the five-star Brazil fell into the cage of the French team.

Their attack was disorganized, and Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Kaka, and Robinho were all unable to change the fate of their imminent elimination.

When the final whistle blew, Henry, who had been replaced early, rushed into the field and raised his head to the sky and howled. The superstars of the Brazilian team were overshadowed by the cheers of the French, and Zinedine Zidane led the French team to defeat Brazil to reach the semi-finals, a result that many people did not dare to think about before the game.

Zinedine Zidane once again sent away Real Madrid's former teammate Ronaldo, current teammates Robert Carlos, Robinho, Sicinho...... The Champs-Élysées became a sea of revelry, and the excited French fans set off fireworks, and at this moment, they vented all the depression of the past 4 years!

French fans are starting to dream of the World Cup title!

...... "Whew, in this way, all the teams in the top four have been produced. Germany, Italy, Portugal, France, Du Yang took a deep breath, he felt sorry for Ronaldo, sighed for Kaka...... It's a Brazilian team full of talented superstars, but the results of the hot dying-sure seem to be continuing.

The semi-finals of the World Cup have turned into the semi-finals of the European Championship, and the South American duo have been kept out of the quarter-finals, and the South American giants still need time to prove themselves on their home soil.

"Du! We can win! Semifinal. Podolsky stood up from the bench, he looked at Du Yang, and said firmly.

"Kick it and you'll know." Du Yang smiled, on July 5th, the German team will go to the Allianz Arena for the third time, three times to Munich, all German fans hope that the German team can return to Berlin three times!

Cristiano Ronaldo and his team-mates went to Dortmund's Westphalen to face France, and Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane faced off again.

Italy and Germany, two teams that have also won the World Cup three times. The Italian reached the final 12 years ago and lifted the trophy 24 years ago.

The Germans won the championship 16 years ago, 32 years ago, and 16 years of reincarnation...... The Italians need to prove themselves with constant wins, and the Germans need wins to keep moving forward, and both teams are aiming for Berlin! Players from both teams are hungry for the title!

The drums of war have already begun to play...... "Are you leaving?" Looking at Du Yang lying on her lap, Dorothy said softly.

"Well, I have to go back, or I'll be breaking the team rules." Du Yang said.

"Tomorrow's game, Du, bring out your best form." Dorothy kissed Du Yang's face and said.

Du Yang, who calmed down, smiled, "I will." ”

After speaking, Du Yang walked out of the room, looking at Du Yang's back, Dorothy was silent for a few seconds...... He has to do what he has to do, he is the core of Germany, the biggest reliance and guarantee of the German team in this World Cup...... He was Beckenbauer's trump card...... The Italian team, the Apennine concrete, will be the strongest enemy of the German team in this World Cup.

Lucatoni, Gilardino, Pirlo, Totti, Camoranesi, Gattuso...... Grosso, Cannavaro, Materazzi, Zambrotta...... Gianluigi Buffon.

A reinforced concrete backline, an incredibly sharp attacking lineup, Lippi has a bunch of players on his hands who are eager to prove himself, Italy has crazy fans who want to continue to clear the gloom with victories!

The next day, when the German team's bus drove to the Allianz Arena in Munich for the third time, nearly 200,000 Germans greeted them along the way!

Onward, Earman! Come on, Germany!

The fans of the Italian team are just as crazy, they crowd around the Italian buses, chanting the names of the stars!

Carrying the hopes of the fans and carrying the dreams, the players of the Italian team embarked on the journey.

Klinsmann established unprecedented prestige, Du Yang received unprecedented support, and before the game, German fans chanted in unison that the World Cup would be for Germany.

Cruyff became the object of ridicule from German fans, and the flying Dutchman had not spoken for days.

Semifinal......
