Chapter 534: The Mockery of the German Celebrity
"My performance is average."
Li Chuanqi made a fair assessment of himself in an interview: "The foot injury still has some effects, so I didn't make a breakthrough. I was just on the points and passing in certain periods, and I was okay, but I didn't show anything else.
Andres Iniesta was the best player of the night, and it was obvious that he was responsible not only for the team's attacking organisation, but also for the goal.
He was the biggest contributor to our victory tonight.
Alba's several wide-ranging shifting passes were important and undermined Colombia's defensive strategy and found their defensive weaknesses.
Ramos played the role of a big brother, continued to play after the injury, and scored a goal.
He's scored a lot of important goals in recent times and that's a good thing for us! ”
Speaking of Costa, Li Chuanqi said: "Although he didn't score, he played the role of the fulcrum of the front court, and many times when we didn't know who to pass the ball to, we passed the ball to him.
He always manages it reasonably.
That's what he does for the team!
He is still an important member of us, and he has always been the most important of us. ”
Speaking about Atletico Madrid's former golden boy Torres, Li Chuanqi said: "He missed a one-on-one goal today, which is what the media criticized, but you ignore his contribution to the team.
Winning is not the credit of any one player, but the credit of the whole team. ”
Speaking about the semi-final against Germany, Li said: "By that time, my foot injury was basically healed, and I thought I would cause them a lot of problems.
The German team has been consistent in the World Championships, and it has to do with their character, they always play the results they want.
Everybody knows how tough it is to defend a champion because everybody's going to be against you, everybody's looking at how to beat you.
Germany will be our most important opponent before the final and one to be respected! ”
One of the most important opponents before the final?!
Are you sure that Spain can beat Germany and reach the final?!
The German reporter scoffed: Li, who can't say bold words, aren't you afraid that if you say too much, you will flash to your waist?
Li Chuanqi stressed that he could beat Germany to reach the final: "All of us are confident that we can win the next matches, no matter who the opponent is, no matter how strong they are!" ”
Install the latest version. 】
"Good!"
Spanish journalists applauded loudly and did not disappoint us.
Ramos was the focus of reporters' interviews, and some were concerned about the injury to his head.
"It was dealt with on the spot, it was just a skin injury, it will heal in a few days, and it will not affect our later games!"
Ramos jokingly said: "Compared to Lee, my injury is nothing, you should care about him!" ”
A reporter laughed.
Commenting on the semi-final against Germany, Ramos said: "There are no weak teams in the semi-finals, and the control that Germany showed in the game and the determination to win should not be underestimated.
We've played a lot of games against German teams and the tenacity of the German team has been impressive.
It's going to be a tough game for sure and we're going to have to be ready for a tough race! ”
When the Spanish players were interviewed, almost everyone thought that the semi-final against Germany was a tough match.
……
Bosque is an empathetic person and announced tomorrow a day off that night!
And tell the players that they can meet their families!
As soon as the decision was announced, it was warmly welcomed by the players.
Early the next morning, Costa called Li Chuanqi up: "Li! Get up! Blanca Padilla is already in sight! ”
What are these words......
Although Li Chuanqi was complaining in his heart, his actions were not slow at all.
It only took ten minutes for him to get ready to go.
Outcome...... He didn't go.
Because neither Blanca Padilla nor his family, there was anyone who answered his calls.
That's embarrassing.
Li Chuanqi had no choice but to go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.
……
Yesterday there were two quarter-finals, with Germany and Spain meeting in the semi-finals.
Both teams were highly praised by the media.
The British Times commented: "Four consecutive World Cups, all of which have reached the semi-finals, the German has set a new record for himself!
With Hulmes' header, Germany defeated France 1-0 and reached the semi-finals of four consecutive World Cups, setting another World Cup record.
The previous three semi-final trips all ended bitterly, finishing second in 2002, third in 2006, and third in 2010. It's not a matter of three things, and now it's the fourth time, and the Germans are certainly hoping to break their fate and win the trophy for the fourth time in Brazil.
But their first choice is Spain, led by Lee!
In the match between Spain and Colombia later yesterday, Lee came on in the second half, passing and shooting to lead Spain to a comeback victory from one goal behind.
Lee's steady output is still an important guarantee for Spain's victory.
With six goals scored in two knockout matches, Spain showed the world their attacking prowess. If Germany are unable to contain Spain's attack, they will once again be out of the semi-finals.
At the end of the game, the Spanish players were cautious in their interviews, believing that Germany was a respectable and strong team.
Only Lee is an exception, he thinks 'Germany will be our most important opponent before the final, and an opponent worthy of respect!' ’
Lee also made a bold statement - all of us are confident of winning the next matches, no matter who the opponent is, no matter how strong they are!
A number of German legends fought back, with Beckenbauer saying, 'No team has defended their title since Brazil successfully defended it, and Spain can't do it!' ’
'Lee is at an age where he dares to say anything, and we won't be surprised if he says something like that, we just need to listen to it, not take it seriously!' ’
'Lee is a player I admire and I was very impressed when I played Borussia Dortmund in Malaga. But between Germany and him, I choose to be on the side of Germany! ’
'The German team will definitely reach the final, and they will win the championship, Li is still young, the World Cup in four years should belong to him, but this World Cup belongs to Germany! ’
Klinsmann said, 'Although the German team had some ups and downs in the group stage, they have been consistent since they entered the knockout round, and the Spanish backline has not been solved until now.
In this case, it will be Germany that will win in the end!
As a young man, it is normal for Lee to make bold statements, it is a means for him to boost his self-confidence, and after the semi-finals, he will understand that the world is not his, but German! ’”
