The four-to-one battle between Britain and Germany, as well as Chen Xi's second hat trick in this year's Federation Cup, naturally became the object of media coverage from all over the world after the game!

One of the most enthusiastic is the British media. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the last two official matches, England have won five to one and four to one!

In the eyes of the English media and fans, the dark days of "football matches are 22 people playing on the pitch and then Germany wins" are over!

At least, the England team, which claims to be the strongest team in history, has no fear of the German team!

The German media has great doubts about Klinsmann's German team!

They all think that Klinsmann's style of play, which ignores defense and blindly pursues a good game, is not suitable for the current German team.

He also expressed concern about the German team at the World Cup on home soil next year.

Fortunately, the German Football Association still came out to support Klinsmann at this time. said that Klinsmann will be given the opportunity to continue to transform the national team!

In fact, after the 98th World Cup of the German Football Association, it was already realized that the time had come for the national team to have a big change.

It's a pity that there has been little progress over the years. In the 02 World Cup, the performance of the German team in the final also made people ignore the fact that the average age of the German team has reached twenty-seven and a half years old, and the average age of the main team has reached nearly thirty.

Now, the young Jurgen Klinsmann has finally dared to risk his results by promoting a new recruit, and the DFB will not put an obstacle in his way.

…… After the Anglo-German war, the media has already set their sights on the final final.

Even though the confrontation between Germany and Brazil in the third- and fourth-place finals is a replica of the World Cup final three years ago, people are still more concerned about the performance of the sworn rivals England and Argentina in the final!

It has been said that between England and Argentina, in addition to the vast Atlantic, there is endless controversy and hatred!

The famous "Hand of God" of Maradona and even 5 people!

In the '98 World Cup, the young Beckham hooked Simeone to apply for a red card and became an England sinner!

These are some of the most iconic pieces that have left an eternal mark on the history of football, from the matches between England and Argentina.

Since the Falklands War, the two powerhouses of the football world, England and Argentina, have created countless topics every time they meet on the green field, so the confrontation between the two countries on the football field has been dubbed the "Anglo-Argentine War".

Like the previous Anglo-German feuds, the Anglo-Argentine feuds also originated from war.

Leaving aside the background of the Anglo-Afghan war, the battle of spirits between the two teams is somewhat different in terms of football itself.

In terms of the frequency and results of each other's matches, England and Argentina have no reason to be mortal enemies!

England have a record of 33 years without a win against Germany in an official match, and the Germans have left the British with much greater embarrassment than Argentina in terms of results. Brazil and Argentina play each other almost every year, although they win and lose each other, but the confrontation between the South American bosses makes the two sides irritated much more often than the Anglo-Argentine game. However, between England and Argentina, which do not often play each other, there is an almost childlike smell of gunpowder.

The spirit of both sides is at the opposite end in some places, and the English's reverence for the spirit of football is almost rigid and dogmatic, coupled with the simplicity and persistence of the style of play over the years, which seems to the free and cunning Argentines to be simply stupid and boring.

In the 1986 World Cup, the famous "Hand of God" made the England team suffer, and the British interpreted this as "unsportsmanlike", but the Argentines always believed that football is to use all means to win, and the "shamelessness" in the eyes of one side is the "wisdom" in the eyes of the other.

The 1998 World Cup was a similar example, when Argentine midfielder Simeone made a "fake fall" that led to Beckham's dismissal and the elimination of England, who had not played badly, and after that, Beckham was saddled with the name of England's sinner until Manchester United's treble in '99. After the game, there were vignettes in the dressing room and in the hotel where the Argentine players got carried away and loudly mocked the English players, which was also an extreme reaction in the context of the far and far side of football culture.

Suffice it to say that when it comes to football, the Argentines are definitely the first in the world in terms of "disdain" for the English!

Flip through the World Cup records of these two teams, and you can find key words such as war, genius, devil, revenge, deception, and more.

In the group stage of the 1962 World Cup, England defeated Argentina 3-1 to reach the semi-finals, and Argentina went home after the group stage.

The 1966 World Cup was held on English soil, and the two teams met again in the quarter-finals, in a game full of gunpowder, with Argentina captain Latin being sent off after only 10 minutes. This was met with a collective protest from the Argentine players, which interrupted the game for 12 minutes, with the Argentine players defending brutally throughout the game, and in the last 30 minutes of the game, England fans continued to insult the Argentine players as "animals", and finally England won 1-0 against Argentina and won the only World Cup in England's history.

In 1982, the Battle of the Falklands brought international relations between the two countries to a freezing point. As a result, when Argentina met England again in the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the call for "revenge for the Battle of the Falklands" spread throughout Argentina. In that game, Maradona played the role of both an angel and a devil - first the "hand of God", and then scored the most classic goal in World Cup history to send the English home.

The 1998 World Cup 1/8 final was perhaps the most dramatic game in the Anglo-Arab battle, with Owen scoring a goal that shocked the world, and the experienced Simeone put on a good show to give the impulsive Beckham his first World Cup red card. In the end, the English lost 3:4 on penalties and returned home again.

In the 2002 Han Yu World Cup, the injured became an Argentine, Owen deceived the referee on duty Collina with a clever fake fall, and Beckham personally took the penalty, 1:0, England's revenge was successful.

This meeting in the final of the Confederations Cup can be said to be the first time that the two teams have met in the final of a world competition!

This is also Chen Xi's first Anglo-Argentine war!

Even apart from the nationality of this new body, Chen Xi has nothing to do with the history of England. But as a member of the England national team, Chen Xi naturally has to share the same hatred with his teammates before the game!

It's like Chen Xi when he was at Tottenham, he would burst out with his full strength in the game against Arsenal, and give this Tottenham century-old enemy a little color!

When he was in Liverpool, Chen Xi led the Liverpool team to win the championship at Old Trafford, the home of rival Manchester United!

When he was at Inter Milan, Chen Xi used his crazy performance to make the Inter Milan team complete four kills against AC Milan for the first time in a season, and won the Milan derby, which was the largest score of 6-1!

This is about Chen Xi's personal preference, but a matter of pure position!

Before the crossing, in that era when he still liked football, Chen Xi admired Manchester United during the Treble period, and was once a fan of Argentina led by Barty, and the performance of Maradona's five people was amazing!

However, when Chen Xi is on the opposite side of them, he will let go of his personal feelings and go all out to win!

Before the game, in an interview, Chen Xi also expressed his attitude: "I know that the British and Argentine teams have countless origins in history. I don't want to say much about that, though. I want to say very simply, we are in the final...... I'm here to win the championship! ”

If you enter the finals, you are here to win the championship!

Chen Xi's statement also made England fans feel happy!

After the '66 World Cup on home soil, England have failed to win a world championship for nearly four decades.

Last year's European Championship was a high-end tournament, but it was only a state event.

Although the specifications of this Confederations Cup are not comparable to the World Cup and the European Cup, he is also a dialogue between the champions of the world's continents, and it is also a world event!

What's more, the opponent in this final is Argentina!

Is there anything more exciting for England fans than stepping on Argentina to the top of the championship?

At this time, as the commentator of this final, England's legendary goalscorer Lineker also spoke again: "Hopefully, after this Confederations Cup, I can correct what I said before." Changed to: Football is a game of twenty-two people running and England winning! ”

Lineker's words also received a violent response from England fans!

It is said that before the Confederations Cup final, many fan vendors hurried to make some banners with the words "Football is a game of 22 people, and then the English win"!

There are also some fans who have this phrase printed on their T-shirts.

There is no doubt that these fan items will be highly sought after by England fans in the lead-up to the final!

In response to Lineker's speech, the Argentine side did not show weakness.

Maradona, the famous player of God and a five-man game against England, also stood up to cheer for Argentina before this final!

"I firmly believe that Argentina can win in the final. Argentina will always be the best team in the world, there is no one! "Maradona was always so open-mouthed.

However, because of his lofty status in Argentina, Argentine fans still supported him. And, I am also full of confidence in the final of the Argentine team!

In this regard, Argentina coach Pekerman is more low-key. The modest and cautious manager said in an interview: "As the English media say, this England team is the most luxurious England national team ever! Therefore, meeting them in the final will make the game extremely tough! Of course, we will also strive for victory! ”

Similarly, Eriksen maintained his suave image ahead of the game, saying in an interview: "Whenever England meet Argentina, the game becomes unpredictable. This time is no exception! The Argentine team is strong, they have the best players and the best coaches. Of course, so do we. Therefore, the probability of this final should be five to five! ”

The conversation between the two rival teams did not smell much gunpowder before the game. This also makes the media feel very boring.

They can only look forward to seeing the passion they need in the final!

…… The third- and fourth-place finals and the championship and runner-up finals of the Confederations Cup are all scheduled for June 29!

At 17:45 p.m. on the same day, the final of the third and fourth place between the host German and Brazilian teams was played in Leipzig.

In this game, the coach of the German team still boldly rotated and sent a number of newcomers in the face of constant doubts from the outside world.

The Brazilian team, on the other hand, is almost as strong as it can be!

Even though Chen Xi once again opened three goals on the scorer list, Adriano still did not give up, and he also came to the final madness in this third or fourth place final!

Less than half an hour into the first half, the Brazilian striker had already scored a brace with his trademark bombardment!

He also scored a header in the second half.

However, the referee signaled that his header was in an offside position and the goal was invalidated.

In this way, Adriano missed the opportunity to complete the hat-trick and the opportunity to catch up with Chen Xi again.

This also marks that the barbecue he bet with Chen Xi is gone!

After the third and fourth place finals, the eyes of the media and fans turned to Eintracht Frankfurt Forest.

Of course, compared to some fans who watched the three or four finals and went to watch the championship and runner-up finals.

It's much easier for fans sitting in front of the TV to sit in front of the TV with a sumptuous dinner!

…… Eintracht Frankfurt Forest!

Before the final began, it was drizzling in Frankfurt.

After consultations, the tournament organisers have decided to close the roof of the Eintracht Frankfurt Forest Stadium!

This makes this Confederations Cup final the first FIFA tournament final to be played "indoors"!

Before the finals began, there was also a brief closing ceremony at the Forest Stadium.

It's just that at this time, the fans in the stands are already looking at the final that will start soon, and no one pays attention to the people performing in the stadium!

In the Eintracht Frankfurt Forest Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 50,000 people, England fans occupy nearly 30,000 this time.

Leaving aside some neutral fans, Argentina fans are less than half as many as England fans!

There is no suspense that this Confederations Cup final has once again become the home of the England team!

…… In the middle of the stadium when a theatrical performance is being performed.

The players of England and Argentina are also making final preparations before the game!

The coaches of both sides are seizing the last moment to instill their tactics in the players and analyze the weaknesses of the opponents!

In fact, at this time, Chen Xi and his teammates couldn't listen to the coach's tactics.

Their hearts have drifted to the finals.

Of course, these tactics have been practiced countless times on the training ground before the game. And then, it was also talked about many times in the tactics class.

Eriksen knew this, too, but he was still uneasy to say it again.

After talking about the tactics, Eriksen also knew that he had to say a few last words!

"Okay, the finals are about to start! It's just a Confederations Cup final, though! But it's also a World Series final! And the opponent is Argentina, an opponent we have to try to win every time we meet! I think this time will be no exception! ”

"The Argentine team has been very good in the previous games. The German team we won, they won't win. And the Brazilian team, which caused us a lot of trouble, also ended up at their feet in the penalty shootout! So, before the game, my praise for them was not just a simple compliment, but the truth! I hope you don't have any contempt for them! ”

Eriksen first reminded the players to take the game seriously, and then, as if remembering something, he walked to the door of the dressing room, opened the door of the dressing room, and let the sound from outside the stadium in.

"Do you hear that? It's the singing of our fans. These songs unreservedly show their desire for this victory, this championship! In the history of the World Series, we have suffered many times from the Argentine! Although in the group stage of the 02 World Cup, we completed our revenge. But I think if we can beat them in this final, it will definitely make them even more memorable! ”

"So, for the sake of the fans, and for our own sake, I hope you can fight for a win in this game! You know? ”

Erikson finally said in an accentuated tone!

"Got it!" Led by captain David Beckham, England's stars raised their arms one by one and chanted.

Among them, the expression on Beckham's face is particularly grim!

He will never forget the 98 World Cup, when he was sent off with a red card, and after the game, he went from being a popular child in England to a sinner in the whole country!

Although, in the '02 World Cup, he completed his revenge with a penalty, his hatred for the Argentines did not diminish because of it!

This final is obviously an excellent opportunity for him to take revenge!

Is there anything more exciting than defeating a sworn enemy in the final and stealing their title?

"Alright, let's go to the fight! Kill the Argentines and win the championship! Eriksen was pleased with the performance of his players and said impassionedly.

"Kill the Argentines and win the championship !!" The players shouted in unison again, and then rushed to the locker room in a hurry, ready to play!
