Chapter 646 Chapter [080] - Pre-match related - [Today's second update]

After the Spanish national team defeated Paraguay, all the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa were produced. They were Uruguay in South Africa, Italy, Germany and Spain in Europe. Among the top four teams, European teams occupied four seats.The semi-finals will start at 7:6 p.m. South African time on July 20. The first Uruguay VS Italy will be held at the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town. The second will be held in Durban at 7:7 p.m. South African time on July 20. It will be Germany VS Spain.

There were a lot of people watching these two games. First of all, the Italian national team in such a state was able to advance to the quarterfinals.Now that they are playing against Uruguay, everyone can no longer use common sense to infer this team, and they don't know how far this team can go. Now they are watching the Italian national team kill Uruguay and make the American team disappear.

As for Germany and Spain, this is a strong duel, and this game is also very interesting. Let's see if Spain can advance to the final, and see if Klose can score goals, tie Ronaldo, or surpass Ronaldo.These two games have a lot to watch.

At this moment, news came from the Italian "Turin Sports Daily": Maradona announced his resignation after 240 days of coaching, and the old and new football champions regretted going home.

They said in the article: In the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Africa, the star-studded Argentina team was easily defeated by the young German team 4-0 today. The "old football king" Maradona and the "new football king" Messi [blog] had to go home with regret.

Fight for efficiency, Germany is an example

The Green Point Stadium in Cape Town is full of stars today: the former captain Ballack sat in the stands, talking and laughing with the German team leader Bierhoff; movie star DiCaprio wore sunglasses and ate French fries; South African President Zuma and FIFA President Blatter sat in the first row of the rostrum; Chinese artist Zhang Ziyi also showed his face in the corner.

Of course, the German team also has its biggest female fan: Chancellor Angela Merkel.Four years ago, the German media laughed at her for wanting to use the World Cup as a show for her lack of knowledge of football; four years later, her German counterparts were excited when they saw Merkel, saying, "She is the lucky charm of the German team."

The Argentine team uses the most powerful Messi as an organizer. Although it can revitalize the whole team, it also greatly reduces his own attack power.German football, known for its superb tactical literacy, once again used the overall and efficient net to limit the talents of the Argentine team today.Solid defense, efficient counter-attack, the Germans played very simple, and the result was easy to catch.

Only 3 minutes into the game, the rookie Muller, who had an advantage in height, converted a free kick into a goal with a header.After that, the German players focused on defense. Against the skilled Messi, the Germans used marking, filling and wide-footed tactics, which made him lose his temper completely.

Argentina's poor defense could not stop the German counterattack.The high center Klose, who scored two goals in a row, excitedly made a "3" gesture, and he wanted to dedicate the goal to his wife and two children.After scoring two goals today, Klose temporarily ranked first in the scorer list with 4 goals, and his 14 World Cup total goals have approached the record of "alien" Ronaldo's 15 goals.

In terms of tone, an old horse should be self-reliant

Fifteen minutes before the start of the game, Maradona in a suit held a white towel in his hand and wiped his sweat in a hurry.Ten meters away, the German coach Joachim Loew, who appeared in a gray casual suit, held a tactical board and exchanged ideas with his assistant coach.

The battle between Germany and Argentina was not only about the players running and fighting on the green field, but also the resourcefulness and tone competition of the coaches of the two teams was a highlight.As a result, Loew, who is also a 50-year-old coach, easily overwhelmed the severely fat Maradona with a huge advantage.

It must be admitted that Maradona's coaching of the Argentine team did not rely on his superior coaching ability, but on the strong "aura" of the former football champion, and on the players' respect for Big Brother.Although Maradona was constantly changing his commanding movements and gestures on the sidelines, his gestures showed the spirit of a reckless hero, but lacked the demeanor of a successful professional coach.

In contrast, the handsome Loew makes people experience the style of a generation of Confucian handsome.In the last World Cup in Germany, Loew, who was still an assistant, and coach Klinsmann wore almost the same white shirts. The two handsome coaches made fans all over the world hooked.Few people know that Klinsmann's clothes for each game are formulated by Loew, who is proficient in dressing.

In South Africa, Loew, who became the coach, still wears shirts and scarves with good taste.As a result, his assistant coach Flick also wore the same clothes as Loew, which became an interesting scene in the World Cup.

The difference in the tone of the coach is actually a reflection of the difference in the playing styles of the two teams.Lao Ma's team has a brave style, but lacks reasonable organization and order. It plays football on a whim, and once it is blocked, it will be defeated; Love's team seems to play simple but has a coordinated level. Although it is a bit deliberate, it still gives people a sense of natural coordination.

And "Gazzetta dello Sport" brought the three highlights of the semi-finals: the three highlights of the semi-finals-whether Klose will become the top scorer?The new champion is worth looking forward to!

Their article reads: In the early morning of July 7, BJ time, the World Cup in South Africa will start a more fascinating semi-final.The Netherlands and Uruguay, Germany and Spain will compete for the final in the two-day event.

Aspect [-]: Can this cup produce a new champion team?
In the previous 18 World Cups, a total of 7 championship teams have been produced, they are Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay in South America and Italy, Germany, France and England in Europe.In the two semi-finals of this cup, there are two champion teams: Uruguay, who won the first and 1950 cups, and Germany, the triple crown.If the "uncrowned king" Netherlands and the favorite Spain can defeat their respective opponents in the final, this cup will be the first time since the 1998 World Cup in France that there will be a new champion team.

Aspect [-]: Will the German team stage a goal war again?
In this cup, the German team is undoubtedly the most powerful attacking team. At present, they have scored 13 goals, ranking first among all teams. Among them, they defeated England 1:8 in the 4/1 finals and Argentina 1:4 in the 4/0 finals. They are all classic battles in the World Cup.In the semi-finals, facing the most expensive and luxurious lineup of the European "same team" Spanish team, can the youth Germany still hold high the banner of attack and present a pleasing goal battle for the audience?
Aspect [-]: Can Klose become the top scorer?

After the quarter-finals, German veteran Klose has scored 1 goals, raising his World Cup goals to 4, which is only one step away from the record of 4 total goals held by Brazilian star Ronaldo.In the battle with Spain, will the winner of the last Cup Golden Boot make persistent efforts to equal or even break the record of "Alien"?

As for the Golden Boot of this competition, there is no suspense. This is already in the pocket of Xu Zhou, a member of the Italian national team. He has scored 11 goals so far.Villa behind Xu Zhou only scored 5 goals, more than half of Xu Zhou's difference, while Klose and Muller behind Villa only scored 4 goals, which did not pose any threat to Xu Zhou at all.

At this time, Spain's "Aspen" reminded the Italian national team: revealing the magic of Uruguay's top 4 and 2, and the deadly double midfielder is comparable to France in 98.

They said so in the article: Bulgaria in 1994, Croatia in 1998, Turkey in 2002, almost every World Cup has a non-rich team reaching the top four. In 4, Uruguay became a dark horse in the South African arena.After Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay were all eliminated in the quarter-finals, Uruguay became the only blood in South America against Europe, facing the European siege of Italy, Germany and Spain alone.

Although they are two World Cup champions (1930 and 1950), Uruguayan football has had no glory in the past 40 years. The last time they reached the top 4 of the World Cup was in 1970. From 1978 to 2006, they even missed 8 of the 5 World Cups.The secret to Uruguay’s ability to enter the top four of the World Cup again after 40 years lies in its stable and efficient steals: Uruguay is the team with the most steals in the World Cup, and the double midfielder Diego Perez and Rios, one is the player with the most steals in the World Cup, and the other is the player with the most interceptions.

Uruguay currently participates in 5 games, and the team has a total of 129 steals, with an average of 25.8 steals per game, ranking first among the top 32 in the World Cup.In the current World Cup steals list, the top three are all South American teams. In addition to Uruguay, Paraguay (124 times) and Argentina (114 times) rank second and third. In the World Cup steals list, Mexico and Portugal (both 25.75 times) are second to Uruguay.

Steals are stable and efficient, reflecting Uruguay's excellent defense in this World Cup.At present, Uruguay has 5 wins and 3 draws in 2 games (the quarter-final penalty kick out of Ghana is counted as a tie), scoring 1 goals and only conceding 4 goals, including 7 group matches, scoring 2 goals and 3 goals per game. The average number of goals conceded is 4. It is the third best defensive team in the World Cup top 0.4 (Portugal conceded 32 goals per game, Switzerland conceded 0.25 goals per game).The direct result of stable and efficient steals is tough defense, which allowed Uruguay to achieve good results in the short-term intensive event of the World Cup.As in the UEFA Champions League and the NBA playoffs, the team with the best defense always goes the furthest.

How important steals are to Uruguay can be seen from the two key games: the elimination of South Korea in the 1/8 finals and the 1-minute draw with Ghana in the quarter-finals.In the game against South Korea, Uruguay had 4 steals and 120 successful steals, while South Korea had only 38 successful steals and 22 successful. In the game, South Korean attackers Park Joo-young and Ki Sung-yong were frantically surrounded by Uruguayan midfielders Diego Perez and Rios. Uruguay can be said to "rob" South Korea to death. In the quarter-finals against Ghana, Uruguay succeeded in 14 of 12 steals, surpassing Ghana's 1 steals and 4 successes. It firmly contained the Ghanaian shooter Ji'an and others, and eliminated Ghana in a more "African" way than Africans.

It is worth noting that the double midfielder Diego Perez and Rios in Uruguay's main lineup can be called the most lethal combination of midfielders in the World Cup.Diego Perez made 5 steals in 28 games, the most capable player in the World Cup, and he also contributed 26 interceptions, second only to his teammate Rios among all the players in the top 32; Rios intercepted 5 in 27 games, the most capable player in the World Cup, and he also contributed 19 steals.Uruguay's double midfielders, one is the player with the most steals in the World Cup, and the other is the player with the most interceptions. Such a strong double midfielder is comparable to the 1998 World Cup champion France's Didier Deschamps and Petit.From this point of view, there is every reason for Uruguay to reach the top four.
