Chapter 590 Chapter 586: War between Germany and Spain!
On the second night after the Dutch-Uruguay match, the battle between Germany and Spain is about to start at the Durban Stadium.

This game is Germany's No.90 eight World Cup games. They have become the country that participated in the World Cup finals with the most matches in the world, which also shows that their overall performance in the World Cup is the first in the world!

Germany remained unbeaten with two wins and one tie in the World Cup clashes between the two teams. The two teams faced each other eight times in major competitions and qualifiers, and Germany only lost two games.

After 1958, Germany lost only to Italy in the World Cup semi-finals.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the stadium in Durban was overcrowded. Football stars from the two countries sat in the stands and cheered for their teams. Queen Sofia of Spain also came to the scene to cheer for Spain.

At [-]:[-], the starting players of both sides walked into the court following the four referees, and they were greeted with cheers like a tsunami.

The commentator of the French commercial sports channel said loudly: "The match between the German chariot and the Spanish matador is about to start, and now we will introduce the starting players of both sides.

German coach Joachim Loew formed a four-two-three-one formation, which is the same as the Dutch semi-final formation.Goalkeeper: Neuer; four defenders: captain Lahm, Mertesacker, Friedrich, Jerome Boateng; two midfielders: Khedira, Schweinsteiger; three attacking midfielders: Trokhovski, Ozil, Podolski; the only forward: Klose!
Spanish coach Bosque also formed a [-] formation, goalkeeper: Captain Casillas; four defenders: Ramos, Pique, Puyol, Capdevila; two midfielders: Busquets, Xavi Alonso; three attacking midfielders: Iniesta, Xavi, Pedro;

This is the first time that Pedro represented Spain as a starter. Torres, who had not scored a goal for 791 consecutive minutes in the national team's official game, lost his position..."

The commentator of the Milan sports station said loudly: "With the Netherlands' victory over Uruguay, a suspense of this World Cup has been revealed-the championship will belong to the European team!"

As the game time approached, the atmosphere at the Durban Stadium became more intense. This was a strong dialogue and a peak battle.

"Tick!..."

At 08:30, with the whistle of the referee, the game began!

Spain, which took the lead in serving, was not in a hurry to develop the football to the opponent's penalty area. They firmly controlled the football at their feet, while Germany was ready to build a solid line of defense in their own half.

Before the players from both sides showed their talents to the world, an emotional fan couldn't help but jumped onto the pitch with a vuvuzela.

Of course, he was immediately subdued by the on-site security and taken out of the stadium.

In the 6th minute of the first half, Spain suddenly accelerated the pace, Pedro's right rib suddenly went straight, and Villa went forward to form a single!

The air in the Durban stadium suddenly became tense. Who would have thought that Spain would get a single chance just after the game started.

Villa, who flew forward, fell to the ground nine meters in front of the goal and shot!
The German goalkeeper Neuer who attacked in time bravely saved the football!

"boom!……"

There was a huge exclamation in the stadium, the German fans applauded vigorously, and the Spanish fans also used applause to encourage their team.

The Spanish national TV commentator said regretfully: "Villa missed the excellent opportunity to open the scoring, and Spain missed the fantastic start..."

The commentator on German national television said loudly: "Neuer! The amazing Neuer, he is the best goalkeeper in Germany after Kahn, and he saved Villa's one-handed goal!"

Loew, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't sit still anymore. He came to the command area and yelled at his defenders.

The game restarted. Germany disintegrated Spain's corner kick and began to counterattack. Spain did not retreat across the board. Several players in the midfield immediately counterattacked to prevent the German team from launching a quick counterattack.

This trick worked, and the Germans could only give up the quick counterattack and set up a positional attack.

A battle unfolded in midfield, possession of the ball changed hands several times, the ball finally came to the Germans, and Weinsteiger sent a straight pass!
Ozil turned around to take the ball, the referee blew a whistle to indicate that Ozil was offside, and the German team's attack ended without a problem.

The football once again came to the feet of the Spaniards. They moved forward unhurriedly, and the German midfielder launched an active press.

But now this Spanish team is at its peak, they will pass the ball to the extreme, and the Germans can't grab the football except for fouls.

Whenever you jump up and prepare to press, the Spaniard has already passed the football to the feet of his teammates not far away.

As time went on, Spain gradually took control of the situation on the field.

In the 14th minute of the first half, Harvey took a tactical corner kick. After consecutive kicks, Iniesta suddenly kicked the ball from the right, and the football flew to the left side of the penalty area!
Lion King Puyol threw off the defense around him, and made a beautiful dive to the top!

The football flew off the field over the crossbar!
The ESPN commentator said loudly: "Last night, Chen's wonderful goal was scored with a diving jump. Puyol failed to control the header well, and the football flew out from above the crossbar!"

Five minutes later, Spain let the German attack come to an end, and the midfielder Alonso suddenly launched a quick counterattack with a long pass.

This is a 50-meter-long oblique pass, and the football accurately finds the full-back Ramos who is plugging in to attack!
Real Madrid's backcourt giant unloaded the football with his right foot on the edge of the penalty area, and then shot it hard!
Due to the small angle, the ball went wide of the goal and hit the side netting.

The French commercial sports channel commentator said: "Alonso is undoubtedly one of the best defensive midfielders in the world today. His long pass fully demonstrated his vision and precise footwork.

This has to remind people of Chen's weird and precise long pass..."

Afterwards, the Germans launched a fierce attack. They are a strong team in today's world football, how could they be beaten by the opponent.

However, the two Spanish central defenders have reached their peak as the game progressed. Puyol and Pique made two consecutive key steals, which disintegrated the aggressive German attack.

In the German half, Harvey went straight to Sebilla with his instep outside the left rib, and he wanted to send a fatal assist.

At the critical moment, German central defender Mertesacker stepped forward, turned around quickly, broke the football halfway, and then launched a quick counterattack!
Ozil made a pass from the left, Klose stopped the ball and broke into the penalty area, but the football was intercepted by Puyol in time!
In the No.30 minute of the first half, before Spain developed the football to the German penalty area, Harvey saw that other teammates were completely defended by the German players, and kicked back.

Alonso stepped forward and shot from a long distance!
The football flew to the right side of the goal like a cannonball, and in the blink of an eye, the football rubbed against the post and flew out of the baseline!

The commentator of the Milan sports station said in surprise: "Spain has already had four shots, but Germany has not had one shot so far. I very much doubt that this is a peak match!"
