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.

With a small change in the wheel of history, the players who were suspended for the German team with accumulated yellow cards were replaced by Frijns, and their midfield core and promotion hero Ballack can still start for Germany in the final, which means that the World Cup final in this world will be more suspenseful than the one in the previous life!

"If Ballack hadn't missed the final, there would have been a good chance that the German would have continued to perform new miracles instead of being beaten 2-0 by Brazil." This is the phrase that German fans in previous lives often mentioned when discussing this final. And now, Zhuang Mingge finally has the opportunity to see a direct duel between the German team, which is not missing Ballack, and Brazil, which has a 3R combination!

In this way, under the ardent expectation of the fans, the time flew to 7 o'clock in the evening on June 30, that is, the day of the World Cup final.

At the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan, when the much-anticipated World Cup final began with the whistle of Italian whistle Collina, fans on both sides were excited about their respective teams to make it to the top and bring the Hercules Cup back to their countries.

Of course, these fans also know very well that there is only one championship trophy, and if they want to achieve this wish, then the team must beat the opponent in front of them! So, after the start of the game, the fans of Germany and Brazil cheered desperately for the players in the stadium with a capacity of 72,000 people, hoping to distract the opponent in this way and give the team more chances to win.

As this match was the final battle to decide the championship, Worrall and Scolari naturally had no reason to keep their strength and sent their strongest line-ups.

Let's talk about the starting list of the German team first, the position of the starting goalkeeper is indisputably Oliver Kahn, in this World Cup, the golden lion king has a god-like performance, and Worrall is naturally not stupid enough to change players in the final; The back four from left to right are Zigger, Link, Metzeld and LaMelo at right-back, while the midfield is led by a four-man duo of Ballack, Jeremas, Hamann and Schneider. Up front, the duo of Klose and Neuville were firmly in the main position and did not cede their hard-won starting position to other rivals.

Although Klose, who made a name for himself in the group stage, was rather mediocre after reaching the knockout rounds, his partnership with Neuville was always more reliable in terms of goalscoring ability than coolie center Jankel and the aging Bierhoff, and the newly joined German Asamoah said that the striker was more like a winger, with limited attacking ability in the penalty area. Therefore, even if Worrall is no longer satisfied with Klose's appearance during this time, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

After all, although the German Football Association has spent a lot of effort on youth training construction in recent years, and some good seedlings have indeed emerged in China in the past two years, but youth training is originally a long cycle and slow results, plus a group of young players like Raute and Hute are currently only emerging and do not have enough convincing expressions, so Worrall can not enjoy the benefits of developing youth training for the time being, and can only use these resources in his hands as much as possible, and he does not look like the head coach of a football power at all.

Looking at Brazil, Scolari still insists on using his three-five-two formation. The offensive end is still led by the 3R combination, and Ronaldinho, who ended the suspension, was immediately put into the starting list by Scolari (note: as in history, Ronaldo received a red card in the first game against England and missed the semi-finals), and together with Ronaldo and Rivalro, the two seniors, took on the responsibility of attacking the city for the team.

Behind the 3R are the two sapper midfielders of Kleberson and Gilberto Silva. After the attacking and defensive Emerson missed the World Cup due to injury, Scolari opted for the more defensive pairing, leaving the burden of attack entirely to the frontcourt 3R and the magical wings of Robert Carlos and Cafu.

In fact, in Scolari's three-five-two formation, Carlos and Cafu, who can single-handedly open up the entire wing, are the most indispensable players. After all, even if the 3R combination can't be all gathered, Big Phil still has good cards such as Dejaminha, Juninho and Kaka in his hand to top, although the ability is slightly inferior, but it can still be regarded as a first-class level; As soon as Carlos and Cafu are sidelined, the tactics used by Scolari will have a very big defensive hole, giving the opponent a chance to take advantage of it.

After all, players like Carlos and Cafu who can handle the entire wing attack and defense on their own are rare, and Brazil can have two such players to secretly laugh, how dare you expect to sit on the bench with such a monster?

At the back of Brazil, Marcos pushed ahead of the more famous Dida as the starting goalkeeper, with Lucio, Edmilson and Roque Júnior starting centre-backs. Although these three central defenders have good defensive ability, and Lucio has become one of the first-class central defenders with his excellent performance at Bayer Leverkusen last season, the problem is that all three are the kind of attacking central defenders, who are brave enough to fill in the position but are very lacking, and it is easy to lose the defensive position.

So, if the Germans can capitalise on this flaw in Brazil's backline, they still have a chance to win.

After the start of the game, the players on both sides were not very fierce on the field, and they were more testing the opponent's defensive intensity, rather than fighting with real knives and guns as soon as they came up. Although the Brazilians took the initiative in attack with their superior technical superiority and tore apart the German defence on both wings, thus creating scoring opportunities for Ronaldo and Rivaldo in the middle, the Germans did not sit idly by, and they methodically constructed the defensive line under Kahn's command to minimize the chance of defensive leakage. At the same time, the German players also launched frequent offensives under Ballack's dispatch and planning, using their best long-range heavy artillery and header bombardment to make the Brazilians hesitate to invest all their forces in the attack.

So, in this relatively cautious trial, although both teams created some chances, neither the 3R combination led by Ronaldo nor the German duo of Klose and Neuville could grasp these opportunities and turn them into much-needed goals.

Instead, Kleberson and Ballack each had a shot on goal in the first half, with the former hitting the crossbar with a shot just before half-time, while the latter tested Marcos' reflexes with a long-range shot from 30 yards.

In this way, when Corina blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0, and the two sides were temporarily tied in a dull battle, and they could only wait for the second half of the game to start and then decide the winner!
