Chapter 142: Goodbye! German tank!

The Germans' performances at the World Cup are over, but the young Germans still have a chance at the Euros in two years and the World Cup in four years' time.

The final whistle blew and the disappointment was written on every German player, indeed, after watching the German team's mercury-smooth attacking football in the first half, people's expectations for this youth army were originally higher, maybe the final should be their ultimate goal, but now because of one person, their World Cup is coming to an end.

Before the game, the German team's work on Degan can be said to have been done very well, but it is a pity that God made people, and the German tank was careful to guard Digan for more than half the game, but because of negligence for five minutes, Digan completely reversed the situation of the whole game.

The Germans eventually scored a hat-trick for Deegan because of their youth, allowing him to suddenly increase his total number of goals in the World Cup to 26, looking at Degan's madness, which is obviously not his focus, and the most important thing is that Deegan is not yet 25 years old, his future is still full of infinite possibilities, how many more World Cups can he play, how many more goals can he score?

In the whole game, it can be said that Deegan destroyed the young German tank with the power of one blow, but in the game, the performance of the young Germans was indeed eye-catching. Muller, Kroos who came on as a substitute are all on the World Cup stage for the first time, as well as Lahm, Mertesacker, Schweinsteiger, Podolski, although they are already veterans in the German national team, but they have not yet reached their golden age.

In this World Cup, although the young German team has also had instability, such as losing 0:1 to Serbia, however, the outstanding performance of the young people has been recognized by everyone, and people have reason to believe that the new "golden generation" of German football has been on the road, and their great era may be in the near future.

Since the former head coach Jurgen Klinsmann coached, the German team has become more and more youthful, and by the Loew era, there are only a handful of "veterans" over the age of 30 in the team, and the average age of the German players in this World Cup is less than 25 years old, which is the youngest national team since 1934.

But it is such a vigorous youth army, in the World Cup to eliminate the strong rival England by a big score, although the final failed to advance to the semi-finals, but their youth, their newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, their more delicate and skillful footwork compared with their predecessors to make all the "German fans" shine.

"Boys, keep your heads up, in four years we can win the championship as well!" Such a sentence shouted out the hearts of most German fans.

In recent years, the German Football Association has invested 100 million euros to set up 366 training bases across the country, with experienced coaches providing professional training for young football players as a supplement to their training at clubs. Currently, more than 10,000 young players between the ages of 11 and 14 are coached here.

In addition, the German Football Association has also opened 46 youth football sports centers and 29 elite football schools in the country, and the current national team members have participated in training in these schools.

For national youth teams at all levels, the German Football Association has gradually improved the team building, at present, Germany has 7 youth teams from U15 to U21, in 2006, the former international player Summerer became the sports director of the Football Association, but also in addition to the coaching staff, for the youth teams with team doctors, psychologists, physical coaches, physiotherapists and public relations activities in charge, the youth team and the national team, has a complete set of management and operation team.

On the other hand, the German Football Association requires all Bundesliga and Bundesliga clubs to have a youth team with a complete youth training program, otherwise the league will not be registered.

In Germany, the youth academies of Bayern, Dortmund, Stuttgart and other clubs are all high-level reserve talent forging furnaces. The 20-year-old Muller, who shined in this World Cup, is the leader of Bayern's academy, while Schweinsteiger, who has become the core of the German team's midfield, and captain Lahm are Muller's predecessors in Bayern's youth team.

After continuous improvement, the German Football Association has formed a complete youth football talent training system, whether in the club's youth team or the training base and football school established by the Football Association, the vast majority of "Maxima" can not escape the "Bole" eye.

For example, Muller, who scored three goals in this World Cup, who would have thought that a year ago he was still playing for Bayern Munich in the third division?

After ten years of sharpening the sword, German football has begun to return to the top of the world, and there is no doubt that the 2014 World Cup will be the stage for Germany's "Mullers" and "Ozils" to really show their strengths.

As one of the most attacking teams in this World Cup, Germany has been four years ahead and is considered the favorite to win the World Cup in Brazil.

In this competition, the German team showed a strong overall offensive strength, overall attack, three-dimensional offensive and defensive level, although it missed the semi-finals, it was still eye-catching.

The German team has always been strong, but in the last 10 years they have obvious faults and landslides, regardless of the "Beckenbauer era" in the 70s of the last century, or the German football represented by Klinsmann and Mateus in the early 90s, which has also reached the top.

This year's German team has played the style of that era, and the overall technical and tactical ability of German football is recovering strongly, so that the seeds of their recovery have already been planted, and now they are waiting to harvest their dreams.

The game is over and Germany have lost to their old rivals Belgium, but there is a huge potential for Germany's rising stars to lift the trophy in the future.

In an interview after the match, Schweinsteiger said: "We are one step closer to the world championship, although the team still lost, but against Belgium we still showed more determination and courage to win than four years ago, if we continue to improve like this, the championship will be ours sooner or later." ”

Captain Lahm said: "We have a good chance to compete for the title in the next few years, the German team is not at its peak at the moment, we have a lot of quality, but we still need to work hard and look forward to the future with optimism. ”

Podolski also said: "We don't have to worry about anything, we will come back to win the championship. ”

The Germans really don't need to worry, because in this World Cup, they have already harvested the absolute main striker of the national team in the next ten years, a young man born on September 13, 1989, before the World Cup starts, who can expect him to do anything in the quadrennial World Cup?

Every coach will have different requirements in their hearts, but no matter what, Thomas. Muller must have exceeded the pre-set task set by German coach Loew, scoring three World Cup goals, Muller shocked the world with a series of dazzling performances, and also destroyed the confidence of the opposing goalkeeper, and after all this, he only made six appearances for the German team.

To be able to amaze the world at the World Cup stage at a time when the club was just breaking out of his own at the age of 21, MΓΌller has been duly rewarded, and it is almost certain that the best newcomer of this World Cup will be in the pockets of young Germans.

For Germany, for Muller, even as an opponent Degan, he gave a very high opinion after the game: "I think after this game, I have to apologize for what I used to say about German football, they made me play the most difficult game of my career so far, Muller, Ozil and these young people have told the world that German football has re-emerged, that today's game is completely different from the one four years ago, and I am very much looking forward to four years in Brazil. We can do it again on the World Cup stage, yes! I'm looking forward to it! ”

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Germany's head coach Loew also said: "We have achieved the goals set for us by the Football Association before the game, although unfortunately we could have gone further, but the game is over, I want to congratulate the Belgian team, they have the quality to compete for the title, and also to my players, because they have a great World Cup, everyone should believe that their future is very bright, I can be proud to have so many great young people under my hands, after this game." I've already received a call from the Football Association and I can tell everyone right now that I've decided to renew my contract with the DFB for another four years, until the end of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and although we lost today, I firmly believe that in four years, we will be the winners! ”

The reporters at the scene were in an uproar when they heard this, they didn't expect Loew to announce the decision to renew the contract with the German Football Association at this time, and people were still speculating that if Loew left, who would become the next head coach of the German tank, but they didn't expect Loew to give the answer so quickly.

Although this World Cup, Germany only ended in the quarterfinals, but the German team under the command of Loew showed people is too dazzling, if Loew can stay, it is undoubtedly the best choice for the German team.

The German media at the scene couldn't help but cheer after confirming the news, although they were journalists, they were all won over by the German team's performance in South Africa.

The German tank is saying goodbye, and they are leaving, not because of lack of ability, but because of lack of experience, and when four years later, when the more mature German tank goes to the World Cup stage, everything is possible.
