At half-time, Bosque specifically asked about the fitness of the two Xavis.

Both of them are a bit older, and in the first half, they had a fierce battle with the German team's midfielder, and the physical consumption was not small.

Bosque was worried that they wouldn't last long, so he planned to ask if he had a number in mind and prepare for a substitution in advance.

Xavi Alonso's fitness can last until about 75 minutes, Xavi's is almost 60 minutes old, and he is almost about to make a substitution.

After learning this information, Bosque knew the bottom of his mind.

"Listen guys, we're one step closer to defending the World Cup, but we can't take it lightly!"

"The Germans will not concede defeat so easily, and they will definitely launch the fiercest comeback in the second half."

In the dressing room, the players all bred together and looked at Bosque intently.

When Lin Quan heard Bosque's previous words, he thought that he planned to focus on defense.

As a result, I didn't expect Bosque's painting style to change, and he said:

"In the second half we can't defend passively, that will be drowned out by wave after wave of attacks from the German team, we need to take our chances, score another goal and try to kill the game completely!"

It was a sentiment that was unanimously shared by the players, who had already seen the German's impact in the final moments of the first half.

The continuous attacks really made the Spanish defenders a little overwhelmed.

Having learned the Spanish style of pass-and-control football, the Germans are now able to play both ground penetration and continue to use their traditional tactics of low crosses.

Germany's full-backs are very good at assisting, and they can dribble down to make a cross without paying attention.

And Klose's header ability is very strong, and the Spanish side will concede the goal if they are not careful.

If you continue to defend passively like this, you will definitely lose if you defend it for a long time!

Therefore, they want to burn the fire of war to the opponent's half, continue to threaten the opponent's goal, make the opponent throw a mouse, and dare not invest too many troops in the attack.

There is a saying that offense is the best defense.

The idea of pass-and-control football is exactly that.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and when they returned to the pitch, the Spanish fans were surprised to find that the German side had not made any substitutions.

Ozil, who did not perform well in the first half, was left on the pitch by Loew for unknown reasons.

This is puzzling for fans of both teams.

German fans don't understand why Loew would want to keep Mesut Ozil on the pitch with so many players available on the bench.

There was a faint fear in their hearts that Mesut Ozil would continue to be the breakthrough for the German team, as he did in the first half.

"This guy doesn't look like the same as in the first half?"

When entering, Ramos came to Lin Quan's side, glanced at Ozil next to him, and said to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan glanced at his line of sight and found that Ozil's face had become very serious, and his eyes seemed to have become firm.

I don't know what Loew said to him at half-time, but it seems to have had an effect.

At least he saw the burning fighting spirit and the importance of winning and losing the game in the opponent's body!

It's just that the fear of physical confrontation is not something that can be corrected in a while.

Spain can still continue to target this point in the second half!

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

Germany launched an onslaught at Spain from the start, with Klose kicking the ball to Muller, who passed back to Mesut Ozil, who sent a through ball to him.

The ball was well passed, but Klose couldn't break through the Spanish defender's interception and the ball was picked up by the onrushing Casillas.

Cassie then handed the ball to Alba, who drove forward down the flank, and after being intercepted by his opponent, quickly handed the ball to Xavi Alonso.

Xavi Alonso was also pressed by his opponent and he passed back to Pique.

Although Pique's header ability is not as good as Ramos, his ability to play the ball is better than Ramos.

A centre-back with a good shot on the ball is a safe starting point for passing football.

Klose rushed towards Pique and tried to interfere with him with the ball.

Pique unhurriedly passed the ball to Ramos, who stopped it and waited for Klose to rush towards him before passing it to his team-mates on the wing.

Seeing the Spanish players start to fall upside down in the backfield, the German fans in the stands immediately began to boo.

They were desperate for time to complete the attack, but the opponent adopted a tactic of delaying time, which made them feel anxious and afraid that time would be consumed by the Spaniards little by little.

On the sidelines, Loew waved his hand, and the German team's formation pressed up as a whole and began to press Spain high.

Although several counter-attacks from Spain in the first half were very threatening, which made them have some scruples.

But this time it had to be pressed, otherwise Loew doubted that the Spaniard could really go down for 45 minutes at the back.

The German players pressed aggressively and made it impossible for Spain to go on at the back, and in fact, they don't intend to do so all the time.

In that case, I'm afraid that the fans in front of the stadium and the TV will be kicked to sleep!

Pique spotted his chance and handed the ball to Xavi Alonso, who dropped back to receive the ball.

At this point, Alonso was flanked by four German players, all of whom were moving towards Alonso when Pique passed the ball, intending to trap him.

Alonso didn't have time to watch what was going on, but with his experience in the game, he predicted the German's options and passed the ball back to Pique.

Pique gesticulated and then passed to Alonso.

Alonso saw the opposition's gesture, which meant that the defender behind him could not turn around.

So he continued to pass back to Pique, and all of a sudden, the German players were gone.

Both Klose and Muller rushed to Pique to wrap Pique.

At the same time, the position of the Spanish player on the field has also changed, and Lin Quan has come to the midfield, ready to pick up Xavi Alonso.

After Kross saw Lin Quan's actions, he had to approach him.

Meanwhile, another German player was drawn to Xavi and stayed away from Xavi Alonso.

Facing the opposition half, Pique observed this, calmly taking a lateral step with the ball, dodging Muller's pressing, and then gesturing again to remind his team-mate to turn around and complete the pass.

The ball was still passed to Xavi Alonso, and this time, Xavi Alonso could finally turn around!

After he turned, the two German players behind him who could intercept him at any time were taken away by his teammates, which gave him plenty of time to handle the ball!

Xavi Alonso didn't stick to the ball, looked up at the positions of the players in the field, and then sent a precise long ball to the wing.

David Silva cut inside to the box and after attracting interceptions from the opposition full-backs, he played the ball down the middle.

Andres Iniesta took advantage of the change of tempo to get past Kramer and into the box, and Hummels leaned in to block Iniesta's shot angle and direct his team-mate to intercept Diego Costa.

Hummels' defence was successful, and Iniesta lost room to continue his breakthrough.

But he didn't risk the ball on Diego Costa either, instead sending it back to the open space at the top of the box.

A red figure appeared here, Lin Quan received a pass from Iniesta, he did not continue to rush into the pile, but adjusted it and shot decisively.

Neuer's concentration was very focused, and after seeing his team-mate block Iniesta's shot angle, he was on the lookout for the opponent to pass the ball to Lin Quan.

So when Lin Quan finished shooting, Neuer, who was well prepared, jumped high and lifted the ball off the crossbar with one hand.

It was a very good save, because Lin Quan aimed at the corner of the goal, and Neuer couldn't have saved the ball if he wasn't so well prepared.

"Xiaoxin, well done!"

"Good pounce!"

After his teammates saw Neuer make a god-level save, they all came up to applaud and hug him.

And after completing a save for Lin Quan, Neuer's confidence soared!

Finally not being scored by this guy again!

On the sidelines, Loew saw Neuer blocking Lin Quan's shot, and a big stone in his heart finally landed.

Spain's attack was too fast, from the back to the front, and a few passes were enough to form a shot.

Xavi Alonso's presence gives Spain the ability to go beyond midfield and attack directly at the German goal.

He has to be further restricted!

Thinking of this, Loew called Muller back and asked him to return to the field to communicate his tactical adjustments.

After listening to this, Muller nodded solemnly and quickly passed on the manager's meaning.

Germany's defensive strategy soon changed, with their back line moving further forward and getting closer to the midfield.

At the same time, the two full-backs squeezed into the ribs and became involved in the midfield defence.

When the two wing-backs pressed high up, protect their backs and don't give Spain a chance to penetrate on the ground.

As for the opponent's long pass, it is resolved by actively creating offside tactics, or by dragging the defender and goalkeeper to attack.

Of course, there is a lot of risk in such an arrangement, but if it is not done, it will be too easy for Spain to threaten on the counter-attack.

At the same time, Loew began to think.

After the opponent's point of play became that of a centre-back, the Germans had to add more players up front, otherwise it would be difficult to get the ball at the opposition's feet.

No wonder Pep Guardiola wants to transform Martinez into a central defender, is he thinking about it?

Loew's adjustments still had a very good effect, and the Spanish team's subsequent counterattacks were ineffective.

In the 53rd minute, the teenager Kramer suffered an elbow to the head when he was fighting with Diego Costa and could not continue the game, and was replaced by Schurrle.

The German formation changed to 4-1-4-1, with Piggy playing as a single midfielder, Kroos dropping back slightly and Ozil returning to the middle as a double midfielder, Schurrle playing on the left.

The decision was controversial and the referee deemed it an accident and did not issue a warning to Diego Costa.

The German players thought it was a vicious foul and should have been expelled from the game with a red card.

Slow-motion replays showed that Diego Costa didn't seem to notice Kramer's approach before the aerial battle, and that the elbow was accidentally hit by his opponent as he fell after the aerial battle.

Unless he voluntarily admits that he has the intention to hurt others, there is no problem with the referee's decision.

As the game continued, Schurrle's presence weakened the German defence, but activated the German attack.

In the 56th minute, Muller broke through on the left and crossed, and Schurrle's follow-up shot was saved by Casillas.

It was a dangerous shot, and if it hadn't been for Casillas' brilliant reaction, Germany might have equalised.

Germany took a corner and Kroos played the ball to the back post and Klose grabbed the spot, but the ball was deflected wide and could not threaten.

God K has been fighting the field for nearly 60 minutes, and his fitness is already very problematic.

If the K god was still at his peak just now, the eight achievements would have been scored.

Seeing that the German team's attack gradually improved, and even got closer and closer to scoring.

The German fans in the stadium became excited, singing loudly and cheering on the team, hoping that the team would score as soon as possible.

However, just when the Germans thought they were about to equalize, Lin Quan's hammer made them dizzy!

In the 59th minute, Lin Quan successfully reversed the offside position, and with his speed, he ate Hevedes raw and entered the German team's penalty area.

Neuer chose to attack, but he failed to snatch the ball from Lin Quan's feet, but was picked up by Lin Quan, and lived a clean life!

In the face of an empty goal, Lin Quan did not make a low-level mistake such as suddenly slipping his foot or kicking the ball away.

He calmly finished the push and sent the ball into the back of the net.

It was his second goal of the game, and he scored twice in the World Cup final!

After scoring the goal, Lin Quan ran along the pitch to the stands where Spanish fans gathered, put his hand to his ear, and made a gesture of listening.

The Spanish fans were stunned for a moment, and after confirming that the goal was valid, they all shouted Lin Quan's name at the top of their voices, and the sound seemed to overturn the entire stadium.

They were so excited!

If the first goal gave them the advantage and the hope of defending their title.

Then Lin Quan's second goal almost sealed the victory, firmly dragging the Hercules Cup into the arms of the Spaniards.

How can this not be exciting, how can it not be exciting?

Some fans close to the stadium even tried to climb over the guardrail, rushing into the field and hugging Lin Quan who scored the goal to celebrate!

Fortunately, the security personnel at the scene appeared in time to stop them.

And Lin Quan was also rushed to the ground by the swarming teammates at this time, and all the Spanish players, including the starters and substitutes on the field, celebrated the goal like crazy.

Bosque raced excitedly along the sidelines, eager to celebrate with a rail move.

Coach Toni and former captain Puyol hugged each other excitedly, shouting words like 'We are champions'.

Compared with the Spanish team, which celebrated warmly, the atmosphere on the German team's side was much more solemn.

Neuer sat on the ground in disbelief, watching the ball rolling inside the goal.

It seems that he can't accept the reality that his goal has been broken by the opponent again!

The rest of the German squad were equally frustrated, knowing that their attack was close to fruition, and it only took a few more minutes to hold on to the equaliser.

At this time, the opponent scored again.

On the sidelines, Loew's expression became extremely serious.

The goal was conceded at an inopportune time, and it was too much of a morale blow to the team.

With a gap of 2 goals, can they still recover it?

In the box of the stadium, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy stood up again to applaud the players.

This time he did not provoke Merkel on the sidelines, because he saw that the other party's face became very ugly.

Rajoy himself has little interest in football, but Merkel is a very avid fan.

During the EU meeting, she used her mobile phone to watch the live broadcast of the German team's game when she could not watch the live TV, which caused a sensation in public opinion after being reported by reporters.

What it means to be two goals behind in the World Cup final, Merkel knows all too well.

There has only been one time in the history of the World Cup when a team has come back from two goals down to win the championship.

It was the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland!

In that year's final, West Germany played Hungary, and Hungary scored two goals in the first eight minutes of the game.

Almost everyone thought that the West German team was dead, but they staged a miracle, chasing three goals in a row in the following time, and finally reversed their opponents with a score of 3:2 and won the World Cup!

Sixty years later, when the German team stood on the final stage again, they encountered exactly the same situation as before.

Will they be able to pull off a miracle this time?
