PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

Just when Florentino and Zhuang Mingge were eagerly discussing how to carry out this operation, the South Korea-Japan World Cup also entered the semi-final stage amid the complaints of the fans, and the four national teams that stood out from the 32 participating teams were once again grouped in pairs and fought against each other!

First of all, naturally, it caused a huge controversy in this World Cup, that is, the match between the South Korean team, which has been praised by fans and media from all over the world (excluding South Korea) as the blackest host in history, and the traditional powerhouse Germany team in international football!

The course of the game was largely the same as Johansson had expected, with Cesari's strict penalty scale and unbiased enforcement of the game causing considerable problems for the South Korean team, who were accustomed to playing under the referee's favor. This can be seen from the fact that only ten minutes after the opening game, the South Korean players were continuously whistled for fouls by Cesari due to obvious pulling movements and deliberate kicking behaviors in defense, and awarded several set-pieces to the German team.

Realizing that the referee would no longer favour them as they had in the previous two games, the South Korean players on the pitch had to be as restrained as possible in their defence so as not to be caught by Cesari again and give the Germans a lot of free-kicks in front. After all, Germany has never lacked good free kick players, from the old Mateus, Bremer, Basler to the current Tanat, Hamann, Ballack, although most of the free kicks kicked by these guys lack that pleasing arc, but they have the true meaning of the phrase "miracles", one by one when the free kick is extremely hard, and the accuracy and speed of these guys' shots are not lacking, and from time to time they will pop out of a world wave.

Therefore, after making it clear that the referee would not favor them as in the previous games, the South Korean team, which was worried that the Germans would blow up their own door with a strong free kick, naturally did not dare to foul in the 30-meter area in front of the goal.

However, in this way, the South Korean players who have lost the super trick of the referee have become more and more passive on the defensive end, and if it were not for the Germans' hard bridge and hard horse, the lack of technical content and tactical changes of the style of play was also restricted by a certain amount of Cheng Dù because of Cesari's strict blowing scale, the South Korean team's goal would have fallen under the continuous long-range heavy artillery of the German tank.

With the pressure on the back line increasing and the pride of their physical superiority in the face of the Germans, who are also good at running, these disadvantages have forced the South Korean players to focus more on defence, making them much less invested in attack. It is precisely because of this that the German team's backline, which is also obviously strong and weak, was not completely blown up by the opponent's speed, and the "Golden Lion King" Kahn played as well as ever in the game, blocking the only few threatening shots of the South Korean team, without giving the hosts the slightest chance.

Looking at the German team, with their better running ability and overall strength than their opponents, they completely dominated the field. If it weren't for the fact that the two starting strikers, Klose and Neuville, were in fairly average form and could not convert their team-mates' passes into goals, and the heavy artillery group on the periphery did not adjust their crosshairs, Ballack would have beaten the porous backline of the South Korean team into slag.

However, although Germany had the upper hand on the field, the most crucial goal was delayed. Faced with the situation of not being able to attack for a long time, it was inevitable that they were a little impetuous, and they were even seized by the South Korean team to play two quick counterattacks. If it weren't for Metzelder and Frings, who reacted quickly enough to defence in time and sabotaged the two counter-attacks at the cost of a yellow card, perhaps Germany, who had the advantage of the field, would have experienced the feeling of overturning the boat in the gutter.

"Yellow card! Cesari shows a yellow card to Frijns! After seeing Frings interrupt South Korea's counterattack with a tactical foul and receive a yellow card for it, the Sky TV commentator who was in charge of broadcasting the game was full of regret and regret, "Since Frings has already received a yellow card against the United States, he will be suspended for the next game after accumulating two yellow cards!" This means that if Germany beat South Korea today, he will miss the World Cup final and will only be able to watch the game as a spectator! ”

Suffice it to say, in order to protect his own goal and the interests of the team, Frings paid a considerable price...... After all, if not forced to do so, what player would be willing to pay a yellow card for missing the World Cup final?

"I'm sorry, Tolsten, if I had gone one step faster, you wouldn't have received this yellow card." Looking at Frings, who was a little depressed, Barak ran to his friend with an apologetic look on his face and said with self-reproach. During the training camp of the national team and the deepening of the tacit understanding, these two players who were originally rivals became friends who talked about everything.

"It's alright, Michael (Barack). If I don't, there's a good chance that this yellow card will fall to you, right? Don't forget, you're now carrying a yellow card. Frings, who was holding his feelings, pretended to pat Ballack on the shoulder calmly, and said with a forced smile, "What's more, the current German team, no one can do without you and Oliver, only the two of you are present, and we will have the strength to fight after reaching the final." And I can't do this, although we have similar characteristics, but in terms of real skills, I am still a lot worse than you. So, I don't regret that foul! ”

"Dude, I promise you, this time we will definitely reach the final and bring the trophy back to Germany!" After listening to Frings's explanation, Barak was silent for a while, and then said in a firm tone, "Whether it is South Korea in front of you or the opponent in the next final, I will handle it!" ”

Frings' sacrifice must not be wasted! With this belief in mind, Ballack became more and more fierce on the court in the following period, showing a world-class level on both offensive and defensive ends, and his tireless running, excellent plug-in awareness and big-picture vision made the managers who sat in front of the TV and watched the game drool.

In the 75th minute of the game, the goal that many German fans had been waiting for was finally long overdue. Ballack received a cross from Neuville from 12 meters in front of the goal and pushed it with his right foot, the ball was blocked by Li Yun with his leg and then rolled to Ballack's feet, the German midfielder did not hesitate to pick up a left-footed volley and send the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!

In the end, thanks to Ballack's winning goal in the second half, the German team, which had been plagued by a lack of strikers in the knockout stage, eliminated South Korea with great difficulty, and eliminated the angry hosts from the ranks of the World Cup champions!
