24. Win all and advance to the round of 16!
When the score became 2-1, the Olympic Stadium in Berlin went into complete frenzy.
………… After winning all three games, the German team advanced to the round of 16 strongly! 4-2 USA, 3-1 Ivory Coast, 2-1 Netherlands, scoring nine goals in three games, the Germans showed their strong attacking power and successfully advanced.
Such a remarkable result was achieved in the Group of Death, and the Germans announced to the world that they were on their way to the final of the World Cup!
The World Cup journey of the German Chariot has officially begun**!
The Tulip Army need not be discouraged, the relationship between Van Basten and Ruud van Nistelrooy has improved, and the appearance of the king of the small box will certainly have a major impact on the Dutch team, and the excellent centre-forward will be a guarantee for the Dutch's attack.
The first thing the German players turned on when they returned to their home stadium was that as their game was over, the next two Group B games would be played at the same time.
England v Sweden and Trinidad and Tobago v Paraguay, with the previous matches undoubtedly going to determine the outcome of this World Cup. England and Sweden have both won both games before, with a draw against England topping the group and a win against Sweden topping the group.
For everyone, there is no better outcome than a draw or a win for England, because no one wants to see the last 16 of England and Germany early...... That would be a good thing for neutral fans, but for England and Germany, that would be the last thing they want.
So most of the German fans chose to celebrate a little later...... "Du, do you think England will win?" Looking at the big screen, Podolsky asked.
Du Yang shook his head, he didn't know how far this England team could go, but he knew that Eriksen definitely hadn't solved the problem of double Germany yet.
Since the start of the World Cup, in order to fully release the double German Eriksen, Hargreaves has been pushed into the starting line-up, and this excellent defender has become an extremely important part of the England team.
On the pitch, Hargreaves is mainly responsible for defence, partnering Steven Gerrard in central midfield, while Frank Lampard and David Beckham play on the pitch on the left and right...... Up front, Michael. Owen is in good form, with two goals so far in the tournament, and both goals were spectacular. Lu Xiaopang was arranged to play the position of the front midfield, and many times he was doing things on the 10th and 9th, which is the so-called 9th and a half...... There's no way, those who can work harder.
As for the right midfielder, it is naturally No. 7 David. David Beckham, the captain of the England team, had a record for scoring goals with a full moon scimitar in the first game of the group stage. His excellent long-passing ability and superb free-kick ability are the guarantee of England's attack. And he and Owen are also very skillful in their cooperation.
All in all, from the perspective of the midfield, if you don't look at the compatible surname, the midfielder of the England team is the first, and other teams dare not say that they must be better than the England team.
At the back, Eriksen is talking about the world's No. 1 defense, left-back Ashley Cole is at his peak, this guy has the potential to replace Robert Carlos as the world's No. 1 left-back, right-back is the old and strong Gary Neville, the two central defenders are absolutely top-notch, Rio Ferdinand and John Terry...... Well, I have to admit that this line of defense definitely has a fight with the Italian team.
It's just that the goalkeeper is the shortcoming of this team, and it's hard to say whether the disaster James can continue to be stable...... Eriksen is said to be going to look at Robinson in the match against Sweden...... Good luck to him! Goalkeepers have been synonymous with tragedy in England's history.
The Swedish team is not weak at all, and Ljungberg's physical and technical speed is at the peak of his career. Ibrahimovic is still on the rise, and the tall and skilled centre-forward has already scored two goals and provided two assists, and he is second only to Du Yang in terms of efficiency.
The biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly Larsson, a legend in the history of Swedish football who is now using the last moments of his career to light the way forward for the Swedish team.
Melberg's Swedish backline is tall and powerful...... In the face of such an attack and defense, it is a big, big unknown whether the English will be able to win...... There was no suspense in this game, but because of the end of Group A, whether to meet Germany or the Netherlands became a choice that the managers of both teams had to make.
Hosts Germany won all three of their group stage matches, showing their strong attacking power, but their youth is also something that everyone fears. Because it is young, everything is full of unknowns...... The Dutch are just as young and fast, but the English and Swedes are more afraid of meeting Germany in comparison. Because Germany has an unsolvable Du Yang who is moving towards a generation of football kings...... When the final game of the group stage between Sweden and England started on time at 6 p.m. German time, the eyes of the world were drawn to it.
Eriksen is hoping to break the curse of Sweden, who have not beaten Sweden in a major tournament for a long, long time.
Could it really be that the style of the ball is restrained?
Okay, for now, let's get our eyes on the field.
High-intensity pressing is England's watch, and under Hargreaves, England's midfield has launched a frantic pressing. The England talent from Bayern Munich is now a top-class midfielder, with excellent movement, ferocious tackles and decent passing skills.
Because he is in Germany, Hargreaves has also cultivated his excellent tactical literacy, and he plays the ball without any chaos. No wonder Ferguson had dreams of recruiting him as Keane's successor.
And Gerrard's pressing was also very positive, although the effect was a little worse, but the captain of the Reds still showed conscientiousness.
This kind of pressing did not deter the Swedes, on the contrary, they seemed to be used to such scrambles. Most of the players in the Viking are from the top leagues, and pressing is not unusual...... The Englishman's pressing also laid the groundwork for this game.
As the game wore on, England opened the scoring when David Beckham's cross from the right was met by Stephen. Gerrard gave the team the first place with a wonderful lion shake!
England looked very happy after the goal and if they keep that scoreline until the end of the game they will finish top of the group and avoid the strong hosts.
It's just that obviously it didn't go that well...... Soon after, Sweden equalised when Ibrahimovic smashed the ball to the back post with his own heel in a corner, and Ljungberg bravely shoveled the ball into England's goal!
One-to-one! The arrogance of the fans of the England team was suppressed again all of a sudden...... The game continued, although the two teams were still 1-1 after the first half, but in the second half, the English quickly overtook the score again!
The goal was scored by Rooney, who gave England the lead again with a brilliant long-range shot after receiving a pass from Owen!
The game seems to be moving in a good direction, and German and England fans around the world would love to see such a result.
However, fate seemed to be fate, and in the 81st minute, it was Ibrahimovic's heel ferry, this time it was Melberg who cut in, and the tall Swedish defender rewrote the score to 2-2 for Sweden with a sweeping shot...... The Englandman's nightmare came in the final ten minutes, when Ibrahimovic then scored his third goal of the tournament with a scramble from inside the box!
Sweden reversed England 3-2!
When the referee's whistle ended, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. England, who led twice, equalised twice and were overtaken, had to accept a fact...... In the round of 16, the Anglo-German war is about to start! England were unfortunate to finish second in the group, while Sweden, who finished top of the group, also won all three games...... In this way, the matchup is clear...... This is the worst possible outcome that no one wants to see!
"Oh my God, no! Absolutely no such results! Podolsky was a little depressed.
"Damn the English...... Why do they become as soon as they meet Sweden? Ram didn't know what to say.
"Okay, let's play England, in fact, we have ......an advantage against England," Schweinsteiger looked at Du Yang.
Du Yang has an incomparable understanding of English football, but in such a big competition, and the two teams that are so familiar, the intelligence has almost lost its effect. For the players of the German team, it is entirely up to them whether they can play well in the next games...... The worst came because of the weakness of the English...... On the other hand, after the game, Lu Xiaopang sent a text message to Du Yang, and the content was also that he felt very unlucky to meet Du Yang...... Lu Xiaopang said that he would not show mercy to his subordinates.
Du Yang also replied, it's useless if you don't show mercy...... Book your plane ticket and get ready to go back to Manchester for training.
Lu Xiaopang proudly said that the England team will definitely play 7 games.
Du Yang replied again, don't dream...... How long has it been since England played a full seven?
Lu Xiaopang was already unwilling, he said that everything depends on the game.
Du Yang said that just take off your pants and look at it, you are smaller than mine...... The tragic Lu Xiaopang.
However, although Du Yang 'teased' Rooney, he also knew that the England team was one of the strong opponents they would encounter...... Their midfield is perfect, with few holes at the back other than Neville...... With top-notch defense and top-notch offense, the Germans' journey to Berlin looks like a tough one.
"Du, congratulations on meeting England." Cristiano. Ronaldo was also the first to come over and gloat.
"Cut...... You'll be home soon, Cristiano. Du Yang shot back.
"Alright, Du, we'll play seven games." Cristiano laughed.
"Really? See! ”
"Yes! See. ”
…… With the start of the final round of the World Cup, after the competition between groups A and B, everyone understands that although the suspense is small, the World Cup will always be full of competition...... All coaches are important surnames who know the final game.
If you do a good job, it will determine your future path forward, if you don't play well, hehe, then the future will be difficult!
Just when Du Yang was training with the German team, a group of guests from across the ocean arrived at the Berlin airport in Germany.
"Hey, long time no see, Scarlett, Jessica, Taylor, Kayla, Julie~~ Oh, look who this is? Avril? What's wrong? Feeling bad? Looking at her friends who hadn't seen her for a long time, Dorothy smiled.
What a cheering group......
