91. The battle for third place

One to zero, the Spanish national team defeated the German national team to advance to the finals of the World Cup in South Africa.

In this way, two teams have finally advanced to the finals, that is, the Portuguese national team and the Spanish national team. The brothers of the Iberian Peninsula will compete for the championship of this World Cup in the finals.

The German national team and the Uruguay national team will compete for the useless third place.

The German national team took third place in the last local World Cup, and they have great hopes to continue to take third place this time. The German national team seems to be a tragic team.

It has advanced to the semi-finals in two consecutive World Cups, but has never made it to the finals.

The battle for third place in this World Cup actually has no meaning, because the players on both sides can't change anything?

Now Qiu Ze has scored nine goals on the World Cup stage. He is definitely going to win the top scorer of the World Cup. Comrades Thomas Muller and Diego Forlan have only scored four goals.

You can't catch up with Qiu Ze.

These third and fourth place finals are actually a farewell match for Thomas Murray and Suarez, because these two guys were suspended during the semifinals and had no chance to participate in the game. Therefore, these third and fourth place finals are

It gives them a chance to compete.

Historically, the two teams have met eight times, and Germany has remained unbeaten with six wins and two draws. In the three matches between the two teams in the history of the World Cup, Germany has achieved two wins and one draw. In the 1970 World Cup, the two teams had a third-place battle.

The result was that the German team defeated Uruguay 1-0. The most recent match between the two sides was on October 13, 1993, when the German team defeated Uruguay 5-0 in a friendly match in Bochum.

The German national team has an absolute advantage, at least psychologically. But the Uruguayans will not give up. Before the game, the head coach of the Uruguay national team, Tabarez, said to reporters:

"We will go all out for this game. This is the time to repay the fans. We will definitely work hard."

It can be seen that even if it is just a useless game, the Uruguayans are still unwilling to give up.

However, it seems that not many people are optimistic about the Uruguay national team now. Since the Polish team won third place in 1982, the third place in the last seven World Cups have all been European teams. The German team was the third place winner in the last competition, and

Uruguay has lost the last two games in the third place match, and the most recent defeat was at the feet of the German team.

The German side also showed that they did not want to lose this game. The head coach of the German national team Loew said: "Although this game is of little significance, we will still win. This is dedicated to

In a game for the fans, we will definitely play well."

However, the starting lineup arranged by Loew makes it difficult to see their determination to win. Their lineup has changed a lot. The old goalkeeper Butt replaced Neuer in the starting lineup, and Ogo, Kakau and Kiasling all successively

Klose started the game, but Klose Thomas Muller did not start.

The Uruguay national team has a much better attitude. They are starting with all the main players to compete in this game. They are fully determined to win this game.

After the game started, it was the Uruguay national team, which was playing with all its main players, that really had the advantage on the court. Their offense created a lot of trouble for the German national team. The continuous attacks almost overwhelmed the German national team.

The German national team put on a defensive counterattack posture from the beginning of the game. This is their most commonly used tactic in this World Cup. It was as if they were possessed by the Italian national team. They played more Italian than Italy.

The Uruguay national team's offense was very fierce, but the German national team did not have many counterattack opportunities. The German national team fans at the scene were a little nervous.

In the 28th minute, German national team midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger tried to pass Uruguayan national team midfielder Diego Perez in the midfield. However, Diego Perez was well prepared and directly knocked him down.

A sliding shovel broke the football from Schweinsteiger's feet.

The Uruguay national team started to counterattack, and Diego Perez dribbled the ball forward. Uruguayan forward Diego Forlan's running without the ball in the frontcourt attracted the attention of the two German defenders. Diego Perez immediately gave the football bed to

Suarez in front.

After Suarez received a pass from Perez, he cleverly distributed the ball in the frontcourt. Cavani, the striker of the Uruguay national team, entered the penalty area at high speed from the left and pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal. One to one, the Uruguay national team took the lead.

Veteran Bute had nothing to do with the ball.

The fans of the Uruguay national team immediately became excited and very happy, and everyone sang excitedly. The fans of the German national team were silent. The German national team has really not shown any response in this game so far.

To some extent.

As the game continued, the German national team tried to spend some time on offense, but the Uruguayans had already succeeded. They attacked crazily and surrounded the German national team.

The Uruguayans were very popular, and it was difficult for the German national team to resist. This made the German national team fans at the scene frightened and very unhappy.

In the 41st minute of the first half, the Uruguayan national team's full-back Alvaro Pereira suddenly dribbled the ball from the wing, broke through the German national team's full-back Ogo, and then passed directly down the bottom.

The ball was curled into the German national team's penalty area.

From the back of the penalty area, forward Diego Forlan of the Uruguay national team volleyed directly into the air without stopping the ball. The football flew towards the German national team's goal like a cannonball. Veteran Bute was unable to reach the goal, and the football flew into the goal.

, the Uruguay national team leads 2-0. This is also Diego Forlan's fifth goal in this World Cup.

The fans of the Uruguay national team are very excited. They have taken revenge now. They will be third in this World Cup. At this time, they are very happy, but at the same time they have some regrets. If they were in the semi-finals,

If the Uruguay national team can perform like this, then the Portuguese national team will not advance to the finals. What a pity.

At the end of the first half, the Uruguay national team led the German national team by two goals. The game seemed to be one-sided. This went beyond many expectations. The German national team seemed to be unwilling to compete. It seemed that they were in third place.

I have to give it to the Uruguay national team.

But in the second half of the game, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Loew made a substitution during the halftime break. Thomas Muller and Miroslav Klose came on the bench at the same time. It seemed that the German national team was going to try hard to win.

Yes.

The momentum was indeed different once the main players came up. The Uruguay national team was gradually held back by the German national team's offensive, and the Uruguay national team fans at the scene were not as stable as before.

Sure enough, in the 19th minute of the second half, the German national team broke the Uruguay national team's goal.

The German national team got the ball in the midfield. Bastian Schweinsteiger dribbled the ball past Diego Perez, and then took a long shot 35 meters away from the goal. The ball was as fast as a cannonball.

The shot was directed at the door of the Uruguay national team.

The goalkeeper of the Uruguay national team, Muslera, was not prepared for the ball. He took off hastily. Although he touched the football, he did not hit it far. The football bounced back into the small penalty area. Thomas Muller, the young player of the German national team,

He was caught in the act, rushed forward and succeeded in pushing the ball, one to two, and the German national team got a goal back. This was also the fifth goal of the young Thomas Muller in this World Cup.

The fans of the German national team at the scene were very excited. They all jumped up and cheered excitedly. This was the German national team in their minds. They immediately cheered for the German national team. They hoped that the German national team could make a strong effort.

, win the game.

After the game restarted, the German national team obviously strengthened their offense. They also wanted to win the opponent in one go.

The German national team's offense was very sharp, but the Uruguay national team seemed a little overwhelmed. Their offense was not as sharp as before. At this time, the fans of the Uruguay national team gradually began to worry.

In the fifth minute after Thomas Muller scored, the German national team once again got a good chance. After the German national team made consecutive kicks in the middle, Bastian Schweinsteiger suddenly passed the football to the wing. The German national team's Bo

Aten moved forward quickly, chasing the football, and then directly kicked the ball at a 45-degree position.

The football drew an arc in the air and flew quickly into the penalty area of ​​the Uruguay national team.

Boateng's pass was very good and exquisite. Muslera's attack did not touch the football at all. The football flew directly to the back point. The German national team's full-back Jansen rushed out quickly.

With no one on guard, he jumped straight into the top and pushed the football into the empty goal. The German national team equalized the score at 2-2.

The German national team fans at the scene were very excited, and they all cheered with great excitement. They seemed to feel that victory was waving to them, and they were very excited.

The fans of the Uruguay national team all had gloomy faces and lacked interest. At this time, they felt very worried, because the general trend of the game was not on their side at all. They felt that the Uruguay national team had a very good chance in this game.

Smaller.

Sure enough, in the 39th minute of the second half, the German national team scored a goal that sealed the victory.

This was a corner kick. The German national team midfielder Ozil took the corner kick into the penalty area. In the penalty area, the Uruguayan national team goalkeeper Muslera jumped up and hit the football, but he did not hit the football far.

Klose and Godin in the penalty area jumped high to fight, and the football was pushed by Godin.

The ball hit the target but not far. The football landed one step inside the penalty area. Khedira rushed in, jumped high and pushed the football into a parabola. The football passed over Muslera who jumped up.

Fell into the goal.

Three to two, the German national team completed the lead. With this goal, the German national team defeated the Uruguay national team and won the third place in this World Cup.
