Jagged Wings

Chapter 133 Spear and Shield

The two semi-finals before the final were not completed in one day. The first semi-final between Germany and Italy was held on July 7, and the second semi-final between Spain and Portugal was held on July 4.

So in fact, before the game, Spain already knew the opponent it would face in the final. In another game, Italy defeated the host Germany 2:0 in overtime and entered the final first.

In this way, the final four days later will be Italy against Spain.This is also the competition of the sharpest spear and the most solid shield in this World Cup: in the previous games, Spain was the team with the most goals in the World Cup. They scored 6 goals in 16 games, an average of 2.66 goals per game; on the other hand, Italy is the team with the fewest goals conceded-they only scored one goal in the game against the United States, conceding an average of 0.16 goals per game.

Judging from the pre-match, it also experienced six games, but Italy had one more day off than Spain, and their physical fitness gained one more day to recover.

In the official competition, the two sides played against each other a total of five times, and Italy remained unbeaten with three wins and two draws. Of course, the most recent of these games was more than ten years ago, and there is not much reference value.The most recent head-to-head record between the two teams was a friendly match in 2004, when the two teams drew [-]-[-].

Prior to this, Spain's odds of winning the championship had been firmly at the top of the list since it eliminated Brazil.However, Italy showed a better state than one game in the knockout round, with multi-point goal scorers, the head coach's conservative but practical tactics, and the team's strong tactical execution ability-it seems that Italy's victory is not impossible.

The outside media seized every opportunity to speculate on the last game. After nearly a month of brutal competition, Italy and Spain came to the end, and the climax of the World Cup came soon!
The World Cup is the stage for all players to become famous. Every World Cup has many players whose value has skyrocketed, and this World Cup also has many players whose value has skyrocketed.

Therefore, many media have counted the skyrocketing rate of some players' worth.

At the top of the list is Reyes, who was worth about 2000 million euros when he moved to Arsenal.In this World Cup, Reyes scored two goals and had four assists and one point accounted for. The goals directly related to him reached seven, accounting for 43% of Spain's goals in this session.Especially in the semi-finals, Reyes almost single-handedly brought Spain into the finals.According to gossip, Real Madrid has decided to offer Reyes 5000 million euros after the World Cup.

Ranked second is the German striker Klose. Although the German team did not enter the final, Klose is still the hottest star of the German team.After turning out in 02, Klose once again came to the World Cup and showed people his scoring ability. He scored 10 goals in two World Cups, almost comparable to those famous legendary shooters back then.His foot skills have shined in this World Cup, and he has entered the peak of his career.After Germany entered the semi-finals, it is tempting to predict that Klose's worth has reached as high as 4000 million euros.The increase was as high as 800%.

The third place is Ribery. His sharp breakthrough on the wing has become a great weapon for the French team. Before a season, his worth was less than one million euros.

As Spain entered the final, they have three players selected, in addition to Reyes, there are fourth place and sixth Torres.Cesc Fabregas is Spain's biggest discovery. Real Madrid's presidential candidate Bilarmi has promised to bring Cesc Fabregas back to Spain, but now his value has risen. If he wants to get Fabregas, he must spend at least 3000 million euros.

Torres has always been a talented player who has attracted much attention. Before the World Cup, there were many rumors that Torres would transfer. Chelsea, Manchester United, AC Milan and many other giants are all eyeing up and waving checks to snatch the golden boy.In the World Cup, Torres played well and scored 5 goals. With such an outstanding performance, the boss of Atletico Madrid knew that he could not keep him.

If they are Arsenal fans, they will also pay attention to another player-Rosicky, who ranks No. 8 in value increase.Just after the Champions League final, Arsenal, which has always been slow, made a lightning attack and signed the Dortmund midfielder with a transfer fee of 1000 million pounds. Now Dortmund will start to regret the deal before the World Cup.In the World Cup, Rosicky scored twice against the US team.Although the Czech team missed the round of 16, Rosicky's performance was amazing.It is estimated that the 26-year-old Rosicky is entering the golden age of his career, and his worth after the World Cup is about 2500 million euros.

In the Golden Globe nominees, the final two sides are the biggest winners, they contributed a total of six places.Italy: Cannavaro, Pirlo, Buffon; Spain: Reyes, Torres, Xavi; France: Zidane; Germany: Ballack, Klose; Portugal: Maniche.

In this way, whoever wins the final will belong to the Golden Globe Award.Of course, if Spain wins, they will also have a PK within their own team!

"Hey, Antonio, welcome to my house to see the Ballon d'Or!" Torres joked to Reyes.

"You think I'm going to give up?" Reyes rolled his eyes.

"Whether you give up or not, I'm determined!" Torres said confidently.

"The final hasn't started yet, okay? You have sentenced Italy to death now? What do you make Pirlo think? What do you make Cannavaro think?" Reyes said.

"I don't care what they think! Anyway, I'm going to decide!"

"By the way, Fernando, you are famous in this World Cup. Atletico Madrid will definitely not be able to stay. Which team do you want to go to?"

"I didn't think about it. In fact, I don't plan to think about this issue before the end of the World Cup..." Torres obviously didn't want to be affected by other things.

"How about Arsenal? The champions of the Champions League!" Reyes tempted him.

"It's so-so!" Torres spread his hands and lay down on the bed: "It's so thrilling to even qualify for the Champions League next season, hey, it's boring!"

"How about I give you the Ballon d'Or, come to Arsenal!" Reyes joked.

"The Golden Globe is mine, right? How can you give it away? Are you going to give me my stuff?" Torres gave Reyes a blank stare.

Reyes stopped talking. In fact, this joke is his true inner thoughts-since you can go to the declining giants of Liverpool, why not come to the current giants of Arsenal?

Some things, I really can't figure it out!
Of course, if Torres wants to win the Ballon d'Or, it depends on whether Italy's defense agrees.Italy conceded only one goal in six games, and Torres had to score a goal, which was not so difficult.

Before that, there was good news in Spain, that is, Italy's main central defender Nesta announced that he would miss the World Cup finals after being injured in the third round of the group stage. The first time he bid farewell to the World Cup due to an injury in the group stage.

The replacement for Nesta is the "famous" Materazzi in the future!

And Materazzi is also full of confidence: "It is not a problem for us to keep an eye on Torres on the field. Gattuso is for him. I know that guy best. If you give him full strings, maybe the world It can be tossed in half for him."
