"Guys, Germany is one of the youngest teams in this World Cup, just like us, and we have played Germany twice in the last four years, once in the final of the World Cup and once in the Confederations Cup, and although we won both games, I think you should be very aware of the very different changes in this German team." In Leipzig, Germany, in a football school, the Argentine team, which was requisitioned at the time, is training before the match against the German team.

With Italy relying on Prince Totti's penalty stunner, Ukraine won the penalty shootout with Switzerland, and the Netherlands lost to Portugal, and the quarterfinals of this World Cup have all been produced.

They are Germany, Argentina, Italy, Ukraine, Brazil, France, Portugal, England.

With six European teams and two South American teams, it is clear that European teams still have absolute control over football in Europe, which is completely different from the World Cup four years ago when there was only one European team in Germany, and the World Cup in Germany can be said to be a collective resurrection of European giants.

Among the top eight, except for the slightly weaker Ukrainian team, the rest of the teams can be said to be the favorites to win this World Cup.

…… Looking at his disciples, Bielsa was warning the players to pay attention to when playing against the German team, under the policy of the German football ten-year plan, after the Argentine team won the championship in 02, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich spent 40 million pounds to bring in the youngest Argentine captain in history at that time, Leon Weil.

Leon has brought a huge impact on the entire Bundesliga, originally such an impact should have been brought by Ribery, you know, in Leon's previous life, it was after Bayern introduced Ribery successfully, almost all Bundesliga teams understood that it was impossible to win the game by relying on physical brutality alone, and after that, a large wave of talents emerged in German football, such as Ozil, Marin, Khedira, Reuss, Gotze, Schurrle and others were the second and third waves of talents in the ten-year plan that gradually emerged after that.

At the beginning of the ten-year plan, the emerging talents of German football were mainly players such as Lahm, Schweinsteiger and Podolski, these players belonged to the new generation of German football, like Lahm, his style is not the traditional German player style at all, he is closer to the style of Spain and England, both technology and speed, and Schweinsteiger is the core of the future of German football, Podolski needless to say, during this period, the forward training of German football is still relatively traditional, Podolski can be regarded as a more traditional German player, although he often plays - plane because he likes to shoot, Podolski is called a wave plane by many fans, but as the future backbone of German football, Podolski's goal efficiency in the German national team is second only to the new bomber Klose in his contemporaries.

Speaking of which, Leon's greatest asset to German football is that he changed the fate of German talent on the first day of Germany, as a German player, Deisler can be said to be a once-in-a-century genius in German football, he has excellent skills, speed, and amazing imagination.

In recent seasons, Deisler, who has completely emerged from depression, has been at the heart of Bayern Munich's front line, and his combination with Ballack has kept Bayern Munich at a very high level in Europe and the Bundesliga.

Deisler is one of Klinsmann's favourite players as a regular in the German national team, and overall this German team is a much faster and more imaginative team than the German team in his previous life.

Under the influence of Leon, Schweinsteiger's position has changed from a full-back when he first debuted to a qualified central midfielder and midfielder, although his ability to control the overall situation is still a little immature, but after all, he has been learning Leonde's football theory since his debut, so his progress can be said to be very obvious, and he also has a top midfielder like Ballack by his side, although in the Leonville era of the Bundesliga, Ballack has never defeated Leon, but this cannot deny the ability of the German player.

If you want to say the only weakness of this German team, it is their backline, Lahm, Metzeld, Mertesacker, Friedrich The German backline is very terrifying in addition to Lahm, but it is precisely because of this height that this German team has the weakness of turning too slowly and not being fast enough in defense, which is what Bielsa wants to take advantage of.

"Against Germany, whether we can bring the rhythm of the game is the key to our victory, and dexterity is our biggest advantage." In the match against Germany, Bielsa decided to give up Crespo on a technical level, first of all, Argentina did not have any advantage in the header, Crespo's speed was too slow, which would affect the counterattack speed of the entire Argentine team.

The young little smoker Gonza Nohiguain will be entrusted with the task by Bielsa, and at present, Higuain and Germany's Klose are both on the scorer list, and as one of the biggest gains of the Argentine team in this World Cup, Higuain's self-confidence has been completely kicked out.

You must know that the current La Liga giants Real Madrid have submitted a transfer application to River Plate, but River Plate has pressed down Real Madrid's transfer of up to 30 million euros, the reason is very simple, if Higuain becomes the top scorer in this World Cup, with Higuain's age and potential, his value can rise by another 15 million euros.

The nineteen-year-old World Cup top scorer, River Plate can really be said to be the strongest arsenal in South America at the moment, they contributed the youngest captain of the Argentine team to world football four years ago, and four years later, they are very likely to contribute the youngest World Cup top scorer to world football.

Unlike the previous game against Mexico, the focus of Argentina's offensive training is on how to use their speed to counterattack, after all, the Germans are the hosts, and there is no need to rethink how big the home advantage is in football games, so Argentina will have far more opportunities to counterattack and fast attack than when playing against Mexico.

The German defence was slow to turn and they had already exposed their weaknesses against Costa Rica that would be difficult to recover once they were penetrated.

It's just that Loew has since made tactical adjustments for Klinsmann, that is, let Metzelder stick to the right side and no longer assist, during the German World Cup, Lahm played more left-back, and the German team's attack was only inserted by left-back, and the right side was completely left to Deisler's personal corridor.

And it is such a subtle adjustment that allows the German team not to concede a goal in the next three games, but not conceding a goal in three consecutive games does not prove how good the Germans' defense is, the Polish team is a traditional power team, this team meets a stronger than them, the German team with better technology can only lose, Ecuador and the German team have no intention of fighting because of the early qualification, so there is no reference value at all.

As for the knockout match against Sweden, to be honest, apart from Ibrahimovic, it is difficult for the Swedish players to pose much of a threat to the German defence.

However, Argentina and Germany will have completely different styles of all the teams they face, so the Germans will be under far more pressure in defence than they were in previous games.

As for the defensive tactics, Bielsa is a little helpless, after all, the height of the Argentine team is there, in case the German team is forced to bomb from a high altitude, Bielsa really has no way.

"To stop the Germans' high balls, you have to limit their crosses, without very high quality crosses, I think it's definitely not that easy for them to put the ball in our door......" Bielsa continued, looking at his disciples.

In football, the quality of the cross is inseparable from the header, and if you want to score with a header, then you must first ensure the quality of the cross. You must know that a cross is sometimes much more difficult than a header, and not everyone in this world is David Beckham who can make crosses to the millimeter.

Therefore, Argentina's defensive focus will be on the two flanks, especially on the right, and Javier Zanetti will face a series of onslaughts from Podolski and Lahm, as well as Deisler's occasional moves...... Leon will be given a more important role in assisting the defense.

Before the match against Germany, it is also a big question who will partner Leon, Cambiaso and Leon in the three games of the group stage, after all, the two have been together since their debut at River Plate, and Mascherano has also performed quite well in the knockout round against Mexico.

Anyway, if you want to attack, you have to go to Camby, and if you want to defend, you have to go to Mascherano. As an attacking maniac, Bielsa is personally more inclined to Cambiaso.

And Cambiaso has far more experience in international competitions than Mascherano.

In addition, the German team's attack in the middle will not be so fierce, so Bielsa has already chosen Cambiasso in terms of personal wishes.

In addition to offense and defense, at Leon's suggestion, the Argentine team also practiced penalty kicks, the Argentine team died on penalties in the previous life, in this life, the German team still has a small note Leon doesn't know, anyway, the Argentine team has already made a small note.

León will have to prepare Argentina for the match against Germany, because Argentina lost in the quarterfinals.
