After the referee blew the opening whistle, the game turned out to be as expected before the game, with Kahn and Chilavert becoming two of the most eye-catching players in the stadium!

As the most legendary player in the history of Paraguayan football and the most famous player in the Paraguayan national team now, Chilavert has a very good record in this game. While the likes of Boulder and Schneider were all saved away by Chilavert in front of goal, and Neuville's volley from 22 yards out was also confiscated by him, the 37-year-old legendary goalkeeper also showed off his excellent free-kick footwork in front of the fans, testing Kahn's reflexes with a beautiful curling ball.

However, while Chilavet's performance on this afternoon was impressive, the lion king Karn's performance was no slouch either. Although the goalkeeper who plays for Bayern Munich does not have the superb free-kick footwork of the former, he can help the team break the deadlock on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Kahn contributed a wonderful save that was not inferior to the former, and became a well-deserved anchor in the German team's backline!

With their respective goalkeepers playing well in the game, the two teams were a tough match to score, and although they had some good scoring chances, they couldn't break through the defenders of Kahn and Chilavet in front of goal, and send the ball into the back of the net in front of them.

The deadlock lasted until the 89th minute, when Neuville scored a penalty from seven yards out to seal the winner.

In the end, thanks to Neuville's close-range volley before injury time, Germany were able to beat Paraguay in the quarter-finals and become the first team to advance to the quarter-finals of this World Cup!

I have to say that compared with the group stage where there are constantly upsets, the eighths of the finals in these games basically did not cause any big upsets. Rio Ferdinand, Owen and Heskey scored one goal each to help England beat Denmark 3-0 with Tomasson and Jorgensen; After a brutal penalty shootout, Spain relied on the brave play of young goalkeeper Casillas to defeat Ireland, which lost the captain of the team before the World Cup but still showed strong cohesion (Note: Before the World Cup, Roy Keane, the captain of the national team, had a fierce quarrel with head coach McCarthy, and announced his retirement from the national team in a fit of anger, and Ireland lost their captain and midfield core); The stars and moons Turkey eliminated Japan thanks to Mitt Dawala's goal, killing the hosts who were preparing to make a big splash in the World Cup; Brazil, who have a 3R combination, easily solved the aging Belgian team with three strikes and five divisions, and the goals of Rivaldo and Ronaldo made the European Red Devils, who had finally qualified for the qualification, fall out of the door of the quarterfinals; The U.S. looked at ease against their old rivals on the same continent as Mexico, with striker Donovan and midfielder McBride scoring goals that made the Mexicans' vaunted skills look more like a trick......

Suffice it to say, apart from Senegal's surprise to fans with a golden goal in extra time against Sweden with stars such as Ljungberg and Larsson, most of the results in the quarter-finals were still expected before Italy and South Korea began.

After the dust has settled on the previous seven matches, it will be the final match of the quarter-finals, which will be a direct clash between South Korea, the other host of this World Cup, and defending champions Italy!

"I said, Mr. Zoff, is there something wrong with the starting line-up for tomorrow's game?" The night before the game, Viljovod, who had arrived at the World Cup as assistant coach of the national team at the invitation of Zoff, reminded with some concern, "I am afraid that putting Pierrot in the starting line-up like this will cause dissatisfaction among the players......

To be honest, when he saw Zoff's starting lineup, Villejoward's heart chuckled. Because in this list, he saw the name of Del Pierrot!

Damn, I'm not dazzled, how can this guy be in the starting lineup? That was Wiljoward's first reaction at the time, and he really couldn't figure out why Zoff had made such a decision, didn't the manager realise that Pierrot had been excluded from the national team because of that incident?

"What? Pietro, do you have any objection to this? In response to Virjoward's question, Zoff asked unceremoniously with a cold face, "Putting Pierrot in the starting line-up was a deliberate decision I made. After all, apart from Vieri, he is the only one in the team who has scored in this World Cup. Without him, do you want me to use that Inzaghi, who only has a goal in his eyes and doesn't score a single goal? ”

By the way, the reason why Zoff invited Verjoward as an assistant coach is not because of how good the opponent's tactical level or coaching skills are, but because the former Serie A first-man central defender has a good personal relationship with many players in the current national team.

However, it is precisely for this reason that Zoff only sees him as a key figure in the dressing room rather than his assistant, and does not attach much importance to Virjovod's opinion on some professional issues.

What's more, at this time, Zoff was in conflict with Vieri because of Pierrot's affair and that substitution, and in order to show his authority as a manager, he specially replaced Inzaghi with Pierrot, how could he go back on his word and compromise with these players who didn't take him seriously?

"Well, since you're so insistent, then I don't have anything more to say." It seems that he saw the opinion of Zoff in his heart, or Zoff's words made him speechless, or Zoff's stubbornness made him unwilling to try again, all in all, Virjoward gave up his intention to persuade Zoff to retract his life, just sighed silently, and secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that nothing would go wrong in tomorrow's game.

In this way, with Zoff's repeated insistence, Pierrot, who was angry in the team, was able to replace Inzaghi, who did not score a goal in this World Cup, and became a member of Italy's starting lineup in the quarterfinals!
