For the upcoming finals, the major media began their own analysis.

Team newspaper report: Klinsmann also has his idol, not Muller, a German old-timer, but the core of the current French team, Zidane, and Klinsmann said frankly that he hopes the French can win the championship.

Klinsmann said: "I've always been a huge fan of Zidane, he and the way he behaves have reached a pretty high level, he's always putting on his own show, dancing alone. It doesn't matter if you're a coach or not, you're going to be a big fan of him. And in his football career, it seems as if there has never been a low point at all. ”

Zidane is 34 years old this year, but the head coach of the French team, Domenech, still regards Zidane as his offensive core and lets him take on the responsibility of organizing the attack. Since Don's rise, his mission has become clearer, which is to feed Don cannonballs, and then watch his young teammates break through the opponent's balls again and again.

When the French team did not perform well, such a move was once criticized by the media and many experts. But Zidane, along with his teammates, took France all the way to the final with victory after victory.

"I think this World Cup has become the most crucial battle for Europe, not that we beat Argentina, but that the French pulled the Brazilians down, and it was a really great victory." Klinsmann said. And this victory happened to be a joint performance of Zidane and Don.

The Italian team and the French team are about to stage the pinnacle showdown after the most difficult World Cup. Both teams are excellent defensively and creative in midfield, and they complement each other in terms of the team's third-tier players. Battle of Berlin. No one can say that they will win lightly, but through the competition of various players on the three lines, the French team has a slight advantage.

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is perfect, Butters has a small flaw!

Buffon's performance in this World Cup can only be described as flawless. In previous games, he made many world-class saves, which were breathtaking. With the exception of an own goal, all other teams have been dumb against Buffon, can the Frenchman let Buffon get a ball out of the net?

Not to mention the other players, Don is confident of breaking down the door guarded by Gianluigi Buffon. In the season. Don in two league matches. A total of four times to break through Buffon's goal. He was the only player to score against Gianluigi Buffon. But we shouldn't put too much pressure on him, it's the World Cup, not Serie A.

In this World Cup, Butters replaced the more vocal Kupe. Secured the No. 1 position in France. Overall, his performance was quite good. Especially in the knockout stage. He showed the level of a world-class goalkeeper, blocking the shots of the opposing striker on many occasions.

Defenders, central defenders are stable and there are hidden concerns. It's hard to tell the difference!

Italy will still have a centre-back combination of Cannavaro and Materazzi in the final, and the two have been perfect in the past, especially Cannavaro, who has been in excellent form in the semi-finals against Germany and has become the favorite for the Ballon d'Or at this year's World Cup.

Materazzi may not be as reassuring as Cannavaro and has been known as a bomb at the back, but his role on the pitch has been effective.

Interestingly, Thuram was Cannavaro's best partner at Juventus, and now the two are in charge of each other, with Thuram flanked by Chelsea defender Garra. Thuram defensively moves too much and is prone to frizz at times, but Galla's composure is definitely a helpful addition.

It's hard to say who is better than the Italian centre-backs in the semi-finals, because Portugal lacked a strong centre-forward like Toney in the semi-finals, and with Vieira's outstanding performance, Thuram and Galla were too easy to defend.

Defenders, full-backs Italy attack stronger than France!

Italy's two full-backs are keen to get up front, with Zambrotta on the right always causing problems when he is up front, and we've seen the quality of his scoring in previous games. Left-back Grosso was an undeniable threat, with two 'soul possessions', one for the winning penalty and the other for the German opener.

French right-back Sagnol is also very effective in attack, as he is also an excellent crosser. On the other side, Abidal is also a good defender, but he doesn't often get assists in games. What is a little worrying is that Abidal also made a number of unusual passing and receiving errors in the semi-finals.

Midfielder, lagging behind the French defensive midfielder first-class!

France have two authentic defensive midfielders, Patrick Vieira and Claude Makelle, and it is Gattuso the "butcher" who is on their feet against them. Patrick Vieira and Claude Makelele can greatly reduce the pressure on the backline, defuse the opposition's attack first, increase the team's possession, and make simple passes.

Gattuso is indeed a first-class defensive midfielder, but if he is left alone, those midfielders who love to cut forward will be weakened if they do not come back to share the defensive duties. Andrea Pirlo is Italy's passer, and although he is a bit of a back, his threat in attack is lethal. Perrotta will be playing mainly on the left side, and he will do a good job of making up for the gaps left by Grosso's forward cut.

Midfield, rush to the peak Zidane, core Totti!

France need Zinedine Zidane to make the last contribution of his career in the final. Zidane did not perform prominently in the group stage, but Zidane regained his vitality in the knockout round, making deadly passes for Don and other goal-scoring players many times, showing the world-class level of a generation of midfield masters.

Ribery and Malouda will share the playmaking role in Zinedine Zidane's midfield, especially in the semi-finals, who has skyrocketed in value at the World Cup, and who likes to dribble straight into the box and shoot from any position up front.

The Argentine-born Camoranesi played an important role in Italy's attack, running tirelessly on the pitch and his long-range shot was another of his weapons. The Italian player who is really capable of deciding the outcome of the game is undoubtedly the core Totti. But his performance in this World Cup has not yet reached its best. This game could also be Totti's swan song for the national team, and it would be worrying France if he had more scalpel passes around the box in the final.

Striker Tony has a lot of ups and downs, and Don is expected to be the top scorer!

Toney's air dominance is another big concern for France, who have already proven his worth with two goals in a campaign for Ukraine. However, with Toney playing little role in the semi-final against Germany's two tall centre-backs, the French defenders may be thankful that Toney will be quiet again in the final.

Seven goals were scored. Tang is undoubtedly the most shining striker in this World Cup. If you consider the seven goals he scored in four games, there is no doubt that he is the most efficient striker in football today. Due to injuries. Don failed to play in the semifinals. For a player like him. I will definitely show my strength in the finals.

For a season now, Don has given the Italian defender a headache. The final will be his ultimate confrontation with the Italian defender. The tip of the spear is still thick with a shield, and it will be known in the final. With the exception of Germany's Krauser, other rivals who are expected to compete with Tang for the top scorer in the World Cup are now sitting in front of the TV and watching the game.

Krauser has scored five goals, two short of Tang's seven. If Krauser can't score more than two goals in the third or fourth place game, then Don will firmly get the Golden Boot in his hands and complete the great feat of being the top scorer in three events in a season!

France have another sharp spear and Thierry Henry is definitely a player who can turn the tide of the pitch in any club game, but at the World Cup, his best form has only been a flash of inspiration and not entirely satisfying. But if he had been a little better in the previous races, he would have become a hero for France.

Whether Thierry Henry can turn around his previous decline in the final will be very important for the French team. Don will inevitably be heavily defended by the Italian defenders, and at this time, Henry's form could determine the outcome of the worst game.

Reuters predicts that Italy will beat France 2-0 in this match. They said that the six men at the back of the Azzurri – four defenders, dedicated midfielder Andrea Pirlo and the unstoppable Gattuso – formed an efficient defence. Coupled with the best defender, captain Cannavaro, Italy's defence has been further consolidated.

Even if the defenders are overrun, there is still Buffon behind them, whose agile blocking and acrobatic saves will keep the goal open.

In addition to their strong strength, the Italian team also has a mental strength, which is some fighting power that has nothing to do with the German World Cup.

If Italy win 2-0 on Sunday, Lippi will shed tears of joy. At that time, Zidane's expression will be much heavier.

Speaking before the game, Beckenbauer said: "Sunday's World Cup final between France and Italy is going to be a tight battle, and I think it could go to extra time or even a penalty shoot-out. ”

Gullit said in an interview: "This high-profile final is going to be a five-to-five game and it's really hard to predict. Both teams had problems in the group stage, but now they are the top teams. ”

"The betting industry in England is betting on France winning half the game. Italy's knockout of the hosts in the semi-finals showed their ability to play a good game under pressure. Their defence has been very consistent.

But the return of Don has strengthened the attacking capabilities of the French team, and the Italian defenders must be tested by Don and Henry. Don has shown in Serie A that he is never afraid of the Italian defenders. Can the Italian defenders regain their confidence in the World Cup? ”

However, the World Cup is different from Serie A and the Champions League, and it is difficult to predict whether the 18-year-old Tang will be able to perform well in the final. The fact that the two teams are in the final shows that they are the two best teams. So I think it's going to be a five-five game! ”

……

Different from the excitement of the outside world, the atmosphere inside the French team is very harmonious, under the influence of Zidane and a group of old people, the French team is excited, preparing for the final!

At nine o'clock in the evening of July 8th, the battle for the third and fourth places officially began. At the Daimler Stadium, Germany finally defeated Portugal 3-1 to win the third place. The man who scored the German goal was Schweinsteiger, who scored a hat-trick.

The battle for the third and fourth places is over, and the competition for the top scorer in the World Cup is over, and Krauser did not score, so Tang Jue has won the Golden Boot Award of this World Cup, which means that he has completed a feat, and in one season, he has completed the hat trick of the top scorer!

It's a great feat that no one has ever accomplished! (To be continued......)
