When the final score was fixed at 4:2 in the second knockout match of this European Championship, the Germans advanced with their heads held high, and the Russians, whose myths were over, were still able to leave Poland with their heads held high.

There are too many numbers that can be told about this game, such as the Russian team actually penetrated Neuer's ten fingers twice, you must know that in the group of death, the Netherlands, Portugal and Denmark, the three teams combined, also only scored two goals against Germany, but such two goals still cannot be covered, this game is the most disparity since the start of the game.

The Russian team's possession rate is less than 30%, while the Germans' data has reached an astonishing 70%, which means that for most of the game, football stays at the feet of the Germans, and it is completely a group of Germans playing monkeys with a group of Russians on the field.

In this game, the German team also maintained a super high pass success rate, and with such a pass and possession rate, the Russians actually only scored once in the whole game, that is, the counterattack, and the penalty kick was actually not a real chance.

Although the Russians scored two goals, the Germans were in complete control of the whole game, and all the Russians could do was keep chasing the ball.

After watching this game, people have reason to believe that the young German tank is really about to reap the honor, and the current German team is only one step away from the dream of the great final!

Germany's 4-2 win over Russia, captain Lahm scored the first goal in the world, it all looks so familiar, in the opening match of the 2006 World Cup, "Elf Mouse" Lahm also scored the first goal for the German team, even the way of scoring is almost identical, and in that game, the German team also won 4-2 against Costa Rica, it seems that as long as there is a game in which Lahm scores, the German team can always get lucky.

The day before the game, Lahm's wife rushed to Poland to cheer for the German team, knowing that Lahm's wife is now seven months pregnant, but she still insisted on being there to cheer for Lahm.

'Both Lahm and I want to spend time together, and more importantly, he always seems to have good luck whenever I'm around him.

Indeed, the appearance of his wife brought good luck to Lahm and good luck to the German team.

Speaking before the game, Loew stressed: "Russia are an extremely dangerous opponent, they played very well in the group stage and we have to score as soon as possible, otherwise the game will be more and more difficult. ”

Indeed, as Loew expected, Germany's attack at the beginning was not particularly smooth, because Klose, Schurrle and Reuss were the first to start in this Cup, so their cooperation played a rusty game, and the German team did not have any good way to face Russia with an iron bucket formation, and seeing that the first half was about to end 0:0, then Lahm stepped up.

In the 39th minute of the game, Ozil distributed the ball to Ram, who was assisting him, and Lahm suddenly cut inside, dodged the defenders, and then made a world wave with his right foot, and the ball went straight into the top corner of the net, and the goalkeeper of the Russian team, Akinfeev, could only look at the ball and sigh.

After the goal, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and coach Loew were very excited, because they knew the importance of this goal.

After the game, many media outlets considered Lahm's goal to be a turning point in the game, because in this game, the Russian team, which was fully defensive, had to press out to attack, so that the German team had more space, which also laid the groundwork for the team's victory.

Due to the fact that the Russian team did not attack much in this game, Lahm's task on the defensive end was not particularly large, and even the number of appearances in the camera was very small, and the frequency of assists was not very large, but even so, Lahm still completed a very difficult goal, and this was actually his only shot on goal in this game, such a high efficiency is indeed impressive.

Speaking about his goal after the game, Lahm said: "Of course I'm happy to be able to score, I know it's not easy for me to score and I'm even happier that it helped Germany win. ”

This game also has a special meaning for Lahm, the German captain has made 13 appearances in the European Championship, equaling Klinsmann and Hassler, and because the German team has advanced to the semi-finals, Lahm catches up with this record, it may only take a few days, he will undoubtedly set a new German player's appearance record in the European Championship, the 28-year-old Lahm, and even hope to participate in the next European Cup, so he is destined to become a new legend of the German team!

In this game, Loew also made an unexpected change in the starting lineup, and because of this adjustment, he set another record in addition to Lahm.

Before the start of the game, the media and fans were debating whether Klose should start or Gomez start, and when the German starting list was announced, most people's reactions may have been mixed with surprise and surprise, indeed, Gomez scored three goals for Germany in the group stage and was the absolute hero of the team, while Klose did not score in the group stage, but after the game, this unbelievable decision looked quite correct.

The German media listed three reasons why Klose replaced Gomez's start: first, Klose has unparalleled tournament experience, he is a player who can be fully trusted in big games, and secondly, in the face of the Russian team's iron bucket formation, the German team needs a striker like Klose who is more skilled and can constantly respond, and Klose can activate midfielders such as Ozil.

Judging from the process of the game, Klose put these three advantages in the game to the fullest, from the moment he stepped on the field, Klose showed a strong desire to score, less than two minutes into the game, Reus crossed from the right, Klose flew to grab the point, but unfortunately ran a little.

In the fourth minute, Klose almost opened the scoring for the German team, Khedira shot from outside the penalty area, causing Akinfeev to get out of his hands, Klose reacted very quickly, almost before the defenders of the Russian team could react, Klose immediately scored with a tackle, but it was ruled invalid due to a slight offside, but from this attack, it can be seen that Klose's reaction speed is really amazing.

Almost every German threat was related to Klose, who was everywhere up front, in addition to his own shots, Klose also showed his playmaking ability during the game, he played for Ozil and Reus, creating two excellent chances on goal, but Ozil's shot was blocked by Akinfeev and Reus's shot was slightly over the crossbar.

While creating scoring opportunities for his team-mates, Klose certainly did not forget to score, and his efforts finally paid off in the 68th minute of the second half, when Ozil took a free-kick in the box, Klose jumped high, shook off his defender, and headed the ball into the far corner, Akinfeev was caught off guard, and the German team extended their lead, and Klose also became the oldest German player to score in the history of the European Championship, at the age of 34 years and 13 days.

This goal also became a goal that completely beat the cross-man screw team, because before Klose's goal, the Russian team was one goal behind Germany, and perhaps there was still hope, and after expanding to two goals, the confidence of the Russian team was first struck.

In fact, Germany's second goal was also inextricably linked to Klose, when Boateng's cross from the right was met by Klose in the middle, apparently shaking off the Russian defenders, which also allowed Khedira to volley with ease.

The fourth goal of the German team is inseparable from Klose's contribution, Ozil passed, Klose shot hard, causing Akinfeev to get out of his hands, which led to Reuss's supplementary score, which can be said to be Klose's indirect assist.

Klose arguably participated in three of Germany's four goals, and when the game reached the 80th and Klose was substituted, the team erupted in thunderous applause.

Klose proved once again that Loew couldn't be wrong, especially in big matches.

Klose also said after the game: "It was a magical night, I scored, the team won, we created a lot of chances and we deserved it. ”

At the age of 34, to be able to start a place in a team like Germany and score in a game is a great thing in itself.

Especially for that goal, Klose and Ignashevic, who was defending him, jumped up at the same time, although the two were the same height, Klose jumped into the air at a height that was more than half a head higher than Ignashevic, a standard definition of a pressure header!

Klose's first goal in this European Championship suddenly came in an unstoppable attitude, as the only player in the 70s of the current German team, he can show less and less time to show his heroic posture, and when Taishan's overwhelming header appears again, people may understand that Klose has not yet reached the time to describe it as a veteran like Lian Po Huang Zhong, he is actually Changshan Zhao Zilong, his majesty is still undiminished, and he stands out as a hero.

When Klose used his golden head to push the ball into the goal of the Russian team, the fans' minds may have come to mind the super air tyrant of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.

Different time periods, different locations, but the absolute control of the vertical force jumped up, but it was not weakened at all, time flies, the handsome young man ten years ago, the traces of vicissitudes quietly hit his face, more than thirty strikers, unless Drogba breaks through the ordinary definition of "Warcraft", otherwise when the consciousness and opportunity capture as the foundation of the continuation of the career, and try to reduce the confrontation of hard bridges and hard horses, but Klose is in the battle with Ignashevic, who is much younger than him, Winning in every way, it is clear that Klose, like Drogba, has broken through the ordinary definition of a striker, at least Klose has the physicality to surpass the average white player.

At the age of 34 years and 13 days, Klose became the oldest goalscorer in the history of the German national team at the European Championship, and even if he didn't score, his three shots on target and two threatening passes were enough for a veteran player like him.

One more goal is the best gift God has given him, and to score in three World Cups and two European Championship finals, Klose's personal career is full of glory and brilliance!

When Klose was substituted off the field, perhaps the most moving scene in the whole stadium, the German audience full of people, of course, and neutral Polish fans, in their eyes, Klose is a compatriot whose blood is thicker than water, all of them gave a standing ovation, cheered loudly, they want to shout out their inner gratitude, they want to give their strong love, pay tribute to the player who created the greatest legend of German football in the past ten years, and it is also something that every fan must do, together with Gomez, who is waiting to play, also applaud Big Brother, at this moment, He also became a role model for all the players in the German team.

Klose, who has first-class professional quality, while responding to the love of the fans, trotted out of the field, he does not need to slow pace to delay time, the younger generation of the German team, just like when Klose was in high spirits, the German team in the 02 and 06 World Cups, full of courage and unremitting fighting spirit, can score five, not only four.

After leaving, Loew also deliberately hugged Klose, his life-and-death gamble paid off, choosing Klose, who had an outstanding performance in Lazio, to enter the national team does not need courage, but suddenly gave up Gomez, who played well in the group stage, and let Klose play as a starter, which is a bold move, but when he saw Klose full of physical strength, he jumped to the ground, I believe that the burden on Löw's body disappeared in an instant, and it was time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Klose's start, which means that the German team has played the last offensive trump card, all the secrets have been revealed, the next one or two games, it is completely a competition of hard power, any change of move does not have a strong suddenness, but Loew has reason to be optimistic, Ozil led the midfield creativity and assault ability is extraordinary, and the first four games have proved that whether Gomez or Klose, the position of a single center forward, also has the ability to make the opponent fear of direct scoring, and not just involve support.

With such a good soldier, the German team's ability to blossom more in attack is unquestionable, and the next opponent, whether it is Italy or England, believes that Loew has absolute confidence and will win the battle.
