"Yoheng, this Shijie Cup has been earned."

By the time of the semifinals, shijie football bigwigs began to appear frequently. Especially when the Czech Republic and Germany are playing, the German side is famous one after another.

German football is indeed a lot of celebrities, of course, this is also related to the results of the German national team. There are too many German national team titles, and even if there are no national team titles, there are many superstars who have excelled at club level. Don't talk about Beckenbauer, a figure of imperial level, capable, qualified, and prestigious to compete for the president of FIFA. It's like Netzer, Gad. Muller and Mateus are not the most famous figures in European football, of course, people like Summerer and Schuster are also superstars in the history of Shijie football, and they are all masters of the wind and rain in their time.

This time, everyone came to watch the game in Germany. Compared to Germany, the Czech side is very shabby, and there are no players who have left enough footsteps on Shijie. They are all famous in Czech football, but no fans know them within the range of shijie.

But that's definitely not to say that the Czech Republic doesn't have good players. After all, the Czech Republic won the European Championship once in 1976, but unfortunately none of the players at that time made a name for themselves in Europe. Of course, this was not a problem for Czech players, but the Football Association of Czechoslovakia at that time had a rule that only players over the age of 29 could transfer to foreign leagues. In this way, those players are at home at their peak, and they are already very old when they go abroad. So they didn't make a name for themselves in the major European leagues.

It's like Nehoda, the best player in Czech football. His influence in Czechoslovak football is unmatched by anyone. He's also very strong, and he's a great striker. It was also the biggest contributor to Czechoslovakia's European Championship victory in 1976. If he had been able to step out of the country at the age of 20, as he is now, Nehoda could already be on par with any superstar player in European football. That's why the Czech Republic is shabby.

On the German side, Beckenbauer is the main one, and many famous names in German football sit there. Even UEFA's president, Johansson, sat on the German side, talking and laughing with Beckenbauer. Johansson and Beckenbauer had a very good personal relationship and even had some political alliances. At present, it is reported that Johansson will hand over the position of UEFA president to Beckenbauer after he becomes the president of Shijie Football Federation. Beckenbauer is also interested in running for the UEFA presidency.

The Czech side is not too deserted, and there are definitely a lot of people, but the Czech football celebrities here are much inferior. After Riester greeted them, he sat down with Puma President Jochen. Next to Caitz.

Puma is a German brand, but Jochen. Caitz is not German. And for Puma, no matter how good Germany is, it has nothing to do with Puma. Because the German national team is sponsored by Adidas. The Czech Republic is sponsored by Puma. Now the Czech Republic is getting better results. The more benefits Puma gets with this shijie cup. Hence Jochen. Caitz sat next to Lister.

"It's still early. If the Czech Shijie Cup champions, then Puma is considered to have earned. ”

Jochen. Caitz is now very happy. He sponsored the Czech Republic only because he couldn't compete with Nike and Adidas in the mainstream market, so he chose a roundabout strategy without a choice. But I didn't expect the benefits of cooperating with the Czech Republic to be so high. Although the Czech Republic failed to enter the Euro Cup in 00, Czech football has produced many good players in recent years.

Poboski, Jankole, Galasek, Lokwenc, they all did extremely well in Spanish football. In particular, Poboski and Jankole have no shortage of titles in Spanish football. And Nedved needless to say. More than 40 million euros went to Juventus. There are also things like the rise of Dortmund. The core players are all sponsored by Puma. Jankulovsky, Rosicky, Pobosky, Klose, and others.

There have been too many stars in the Czech Republic over the years, so Puma has made a lot of money, and it has really earned. What Puma didn't expect was that the Czech Republic had already entered the semifinals of the Shijie Cup. To Puma's great delight. Because the Shijie Cup has always been a two-person turn of Adidas and Nike, when will the team sponsored by Puma also be able to have such results.

"The bonus is ready."

The Czech Republic and Puma have a very strict prize money system for this Shijie Cup. Now that the Czech Republic has reached the semi-finals of the Shijie Cup, the prize money is already very large. So Rist laughed at Jochen. Caitz Road.

"Don't worry, the bonus is a lot."

Most of the players in the Czech national team are now Riester's players. Rist can take 10% of the prize money directly, which is not a small amount. Because the prize money of the Czech national team is not just Puma. Czech players drink and usually use their own sponsors, and Puma is only the sponsor of the jerseys of the Czech national team. Therefore, those sponsors also have bonus agreements. Together with the bonus of the Czech Football Association, the total bonus that the Czech national team can get now is more than 5 million euros. If the results continue to improve, the number of prize money will continue to increase. If you really win the Shijie Cup, the total prize money will exceed 10 million euros.

"The semi-finals of the Shijie Cup are about to begin. The two sides are Germany and the Czech Republic. Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides, Germany has Kahn in goal, Link, LaMelo and Metzelder in the backline, Schneider, Frings, Hamann, Zieg, Ballack in the midfield, and Jankel and Klose in the front. ”

"The Czech goalkeeper is Peter. Petr Cech, Jankulovski, Ujfarusi, Rozenar and Grigra in the back, and Nedved and Gilberto in midfield. Silva, Senna, Rosicky, Poboski, Jankoller up front. ”

"Historically, the Czech Republic is no match for Germany. In the Euro 96 Championship, the Czech Republic entered the final of the European Championship as a big dark horse, but lost to Germany. However, in the 1976 European Championship final, the Czech Republic defeated the then Federal Republic of Germany to win the European Championship. ”

By the time the commentator was commentating, the players from both sides had already begun to enter the field. For the Czech Republic and Germany. They're more familiar. Because with the rise of Borussia Dortmund, several Czech internationals are playing in Germany. This is especially true of Klose.

Klose has played together with most of the current Czech national team. Except for the older generation of Nedved and Jankoller, who have nothing to do with him, the rest of the midfielders have played with Klose at the back. Even two people like Yankulovsky and Klose have known each other for more than five years. Therefore, although it was a semi-final, the atmosphere at the beginning was still good, and everyone was not hostile but talked and laughed.

"Doodoo-"

With the referee's whistle, this Shijie Cup semi-final finally began. If you look at the cards, Germany is no better than the Czechs. Even before the game, many people thought that the Czech Republic had the advantage in the eyes of the players. There are more good players in the Czech Republic. Sure enough, after the start of the game, Germany was not able to gain an advantage in midfield. Contrary to Senna and Gilberto. Silva has the advantage in midfield.

The Czechs walk on the ground. Because people like Senna, Rosicky, and Poborsky all like to walk on the ground, but Germany is different. There is some greenery in Germany now. Even Germany does not have a wing. Germany was able to make it to the last four. Thanks to Karn and Barak. Especially in the quarterfinals against Spain, Germany managed to maintain the score to 1-0 thanks to Ballack's long-range shot and Kahn's magical play.

It's the same with this game. Germany is to play the high ball and look for Yankel in front. Yankel is in great health. The whole body is full of muscles. The header of 1.93 meters is also very good. Coupled with Klose next to him, his speed, explosiveness and speed are still quite fast. And behind it is the all-round warrior Barak. That's their offense.

The high ball looks for Yankel. Jankel then handed the ball to Klose or to Ballack. When playing against Spain, this tactic made the Spanish defenders embarrassed. Ballack also received a header from Jankole and directly shot a powerful shot to defeat Spain 1-0.

"Cut in. Cut in. ”

Already in the semi-finals, Brückner's ambitions are growing. At a very weak time for Germany at the moment, Brückner would love to beat Germany and reach the final. So he carefully studied Germany, which is not good offensively and not well defensively. In this way, Germany is still playing a back three. Brazil has Carlos and Cafu, so they dare to play a back three. Because Carlos and Cafu were able to wrap the two wings around. But Germany does not have such capabilities. So Brückner put all his work on the wing.

So the style of play was very obvious from the start of the game. Neither side was in control in the middle and both moved quickly through midfield. Germany doesn't even pay attention to the middle, just high the ball and hands it to the front. The Czechs, on the other hand, at least played in the middle and then passed the ball to the wings. So judging from the game, the game is not very good.

Overall, however, the Czech Republic still has the upper hand. But the opponent is Germany, and the most commendable thing about German football is their will. This year's Germany is known as a lack of green and yellow, and the game is not good-looking. But don't underestimate them, they can make up for some deficiencies with a strong will. That's it for now.

"Metzelde, long pass...... Yankel, Yankel penalty kick back. Barack, Barack is coming. ”

This is the easiest attacking routine of the German national team at the moment. But sometimes the simplest way of playing is very effective when you meet the right player. Just like Sunderland's Quinn and Kevin. That's what Phillips combined. Quinn takes control of the ball high and then Kevin. Phillips went to pick up the leak. It's a simple combination, but it's impossible to defend.

That's how easy it is to play in Germany now. Bigfoot looked for Jankel, then Ballack and Klose each found their own positions, and then completed an attack. This time was no exception, as Metzeld's long ball found Jankel, who then headed the ball back. Behind it is Barak on the back plugged in.

But the Czech midfield is no joke. Gilberto. Silva had been in the back, and when he saw Jankel's return to the top, he immediately came over to defend. Gilberto. Silva was just about to clear the siege when Ballack, who had been inserted in the back, came up.

At this time, Ballack is at his peak, and he is Germany's most performant player in this Shijie Cup. He is better than Gilberto. Silva was a step late, but a big step was a step ahead of Gilberto. Silva stood together, then used his body to squeeze Gilberto away. Silva. Then it was a volley directly at the incoming ball.

"Ballack, shot...... Cech, Cech flew to save and the ball was blocked. From a corner, Ballack's shot was very threatening. The 20-year-old Cech has been outstanding and has been very quick to react. Of course, Ballack's shot was also excellent. ”

In fact, Ballack was able to have more shots on goal just now. It's a pity for Gilberto. Although Silva was pushed out of the way by Barak, he still kept interfering with Barak. So Ballack's shot was not fully exploited.

But the goal really surprised the Czech side. Now 26 years old, Ballack is doing really well. With Barak, even Germany, which is relatively weak, is still strong. (To be continued......)
