Chapter 66 The starting list of both sides in this game

On July 7, 2010, the Durban Stadium in South Africa will hold the last semi-finals of this World Cup today, against both sides' European champions Spain and European runner-up Germany. This game is also called a replica of the European Cup final.

This game attracted countless fans and reporters. Before the game started, Durban's streets and alleys were fans of both sides. Outside the Durban stadium, it was filled with buses and other commuters. Durban received a lot of police and security personnel.

German fans and Spanish fans in the team met to marches on the reception, cheering for their beloved team.

An hour before the game started, a large number of fans had already poured into the Durban stadium, as if they were about to fill it up. As these fans came to the Durban stadium, Dutch coach Van Marvik and his assistant. Now the Dutch team has advanced to the finals, and they have the time and energy, and it is necessary to examine the situation of their opponents in the next game.

Now the outside world is optimistic about the German team. The performance of this German team in this World Cup is simply too dazzling. Except for a nap in the second game of the group and losing to Serbia by 100% to all, the German team defeated their opponents by a big score. There are many world-class teams like England and Argentina among their opponents. However, under the scramble of the Germans, both England and Argentina were shot in four bullets and hated South Africa.

The performance of Spain in this World Cup was very uneasy. He lost to Switzerland in the first game of the group and almost couldn't even qualify in the group. Fortunately, they seized the last opportunity and struggled to get the first place in the group. After qualifying in the group, Spain faced Portugal and Paraguay in the knockout round. Facing these two opponents, neither of the Spanish team showed strength above their opponents, and were both lucky to defeat their opponents one-to-zero to advance to the semi-finals.

Based on the current situation and performance of the two teams, everyone believes that there should be no problem for the Germans to defeat Spain. But anything can happen on the football field, so it is hard to say who is the winner until the last moment. Spain came to the Durban Stadium today to make a stepping stone for others.

During the Dutch team's game against Uruguay, the head coaches of both teams went to the Green Penalty Stadium to examine their next opponent's information. Yes, they both thought they would advance to the next round and they were already preparing for the next round. At that time, the photographers on the scene found the head coaches of Spain and Germany in the stands and gave two close-ups. This scene was talked about by thousands of fans.

Today, they came to Durban for victory, so the two head coaches had serious expressions on their faces.

Forty minutes before the game began, players from both sides flocked to the stadium to warm up, which won the enthusiastic cheers of the fans on the scene.

Thomas Muller, who was suspended today, sat in the stands, cheering for the German team in the stands. Of course, he was actually very eager to play for the German team. Unfortunately, there was no way to serve the country.

After the players from both sides warmed up, the players from both sides immediately rushed into the locker room to listen to the head coach's arrangement before the game. At this time, the scene was in anxious waiting, and Wuwuzula's voice couldn't help but make everyone nervous.

"Hello everyone, everyone! This is CCTV Sports Channel, I am Liu Jianhong!" CCTV commentator Liu Jianhong began his opening remarks, "Today we bring you the second semi-final of the 2010 South Africa World Cup, Spain vs. Germany. Welcome to watch."

At this time, CCTV started their opening remarks. Sitting next to Liu Jianhong was Zhang Lu, and these two people would explain this peak battle to the majority of Chinese fans.

This game is the 18th World Cup semi-final staged in the European Civil War. The two sides had a 20-time encounter, and the German team had a slight advantage with eight wins, six draws and six losses. Among them, the German tanks remained unbeaten with two wins and one draw in the World Cup. The last time the Spanish team faced Germany was in the 2008 European Cup final. At that time, the Bullfighters defeated the German team 1-0 with Torres' goal, which was also the second time that Spain defeated the German team in eight official competitions.

Some people say that this game is a revenge battle for the Germans, in order to avenge a revenge in the European Cup final two years ago. However, before the game, the head coaches of both sides did not admit that this was a revenge battle. In their words, there was no revenge battle between the strong teams.

However, when in the locker room, German coach Loew said fiercely that the German players made a move, letting them recall the situation two years ago, especially those who participated in that game, so that they could recall the taste of it.

His grandma is really a scam! He said it well, this is not a fight of revenge, but in private, he motivates his players. This guy Lov is really a conspirator.

Gong Zheng didn't know how effective Löw did this, but the anger and the flame of revenge in his heart were aroused. After all, in the game two years ago, Gong Zheng performed well, but he did not control his emotions. He was flirted with a red card. After that game, Gong Zheng's situation was quite difficult. All of this was given by the Spaniards. If you have a chance today, you will definitely be a bastard if you don't take revenge!

When they walked out of the locker room, the German players all had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him money and refused to pay it back. The situation in Spain was not much better, and the Spanish also had a strong face. The atmosphere of the competition was about to make the Hungarian referee Kasai in the player channel feel a stern. It seems that this game cannot be very calm.

"Hello everyone, everyone, the players from both sides have already appeared, and the game is about to begin. It's really exciting!" Liu Jianhong was also very excited at this time. This strong showdown attracted a lot of people.

Gong Zheng stood at the end of the German team. When he came out, the Durban Stadium was already in full swing. The fans at the scene were very enthusiastic, especially the Wuwuzula. This guy was the most enthusiastic, which made the German players unable to stand it.

The players from both sides appeared in the stadium with the referee team, lined up in the stadium, and then the broadcast began to play the national anthem. The first one was playing the Spanish national anthem. The atmosphere on the scene was extremely solemn, and the annoying Wuwuzula also calmed down.

The players of the Spanish national team appeared in the camera one after another, with a solemn face on their faces. After the Spanish national anthem ended, there were continuous applause. Then, the German national anthem began to play the German national anthem again. The players of the German national team looked very solemn, but there were not many people singing the German national anthem. It is understandable that many national troops were.

After the national anthem ceremony, the handshake ceremony began, and the captains of the two teams began to pick the sides, and the countdown was already in place.

"Friends, at this time, let's introduce the starting list of both sides of this game." Liu Jianhong, a commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, immediately said, "First I will introduce the starting list of the German national team in this game to you."

"Today, German head coach Löw did not change the formation, but was still a four-two-three-one formation." Liu Jianhong began, "In the goalkeeper position, there is still a young goalkeeper from Schalke 04. This guy has firmly positioned the main goalkeeper position of Germany."

"In the four-back position, they are Ram, Friedrich, Mertesacker and Boateng." Liu Jianhong continued, "Boateng is on the starting lineup again, which is a bit surprising. After all, Jansen's performance in the last game was pretty good. I wonder what this situation is? Does Love think Boateng is better than Jansen?"

"The position of the double midfielder has not changed. It is a combination of Schweinsteiger and Samir Khedira." Liu Jianhong said as he looked at the information. "These two have become more and more tacit in cooperation and their performance is getting better and better. Samir Khedira's performance is reassuring. This is another big discovery of this German team after Thomas Muller."

"There is a change on the forward line today, that is, a change brought about by Thomas Muller's suspension. In fact, Löw doesn't want to do this change, but there is no way. Muller is suspended when he sleeps?" Liu Jianhong said with a smile, "The three on the forward line are Podolsky, Ozil and Trokhovsky."

"Oh my God, the one who replaced Thomas Muller was not the most popular Tony Cross, but Trokhovsky. This was beyond everyone's expectations. This guy Lov is really, he actually gave everyone such a trick. Haha, interesting." Liu Jianhong said in shock, "Of course there is no suspense in the forward position, that is Gong Zheng. This guy's performance in this World Cup is simply too evil. If the forward player is not him, the fans will be the first to not agree."

"The appearance of Gong Zheng is a lucky German. It is indeed Klose's misfortune. He had the opportunity to hit Ronaldo's record in this World Cup, but it was a pity! At this time, Klose must be sighing, "Why did you give birth to Yu?" Liu Jianhong said with a sigh.

"Yes, this is really a lucky German football and a misfortune of Klose!" Zhang Lu, a football commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, also sighed, "Okay, now let's introduce the starting list of the Spanish national team in the half game."

"Today the Spanish coach Bosque lined up a formation of 433." Zhang Lu immediately said, "In the position of goalkeeper, I think everyone should have no objection, that is Saint Cassi of Real Madrid!"

"In the four defenders, Ramos, Pique, Puyol and Capdvilla, these four people have no objection, and they are a very stable combination." Zhang Lu continued.

"The three midfielders are Alonso, Xavi and Bootsques." Zhang Lu looked at the information, "The three on the front line are Iniesta, Villa and Pedro."

"In fact, Spain's formation is not a typical 433. In the lineup, there is only Villa in Spain's regular Indian striker, and the others are midfielders. Villa is actually not a standard forward in this Spanish team's formation, but more like a midfielder. Spain's formation is more like a frontless formation."

"Well, Bosque did not rank Fabregas and Torres in the starting lineup today. Before the game, everyone expected Fabregas to enter the starting lineup of the Spanish national team. It seems that this injury still has some impact on Fabregas, so Bosque did not take risks and put Fabregas on the bench. Perhaps in the second half of the game, Fabregas will come on as a substitute." Zhang Lu continued to explain to everyone.

"And Torres was unexpectedly not on the starting lineup. This guy is indeed no longer in shape. His previous injury has had a great impact on him. He has not been completely cured yet and his condition is indeed not good. He is actually very suitable for him to sit on the bench." Zhang Lu said lightly.

"Okay! Now we have introduced the starting list of both sides. At this time, the players of both sides have already set up their positions in the stadium. In the second game of the World Cup semi-finals in South Africa, Spain's match against Germany is about to begin." Liu Jianhong, a commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, suddenly said.
