Chapter 591 Chapter 587: The situation is one-sided in the semi-finals!
Germany has defeated England and Argentina by a large score in the knockout stage, which has fully demonstrated their strength.

Among the top four teams, Germany is the team that has played the most against the top teams, and their weight in the top four is the heaviest.

Now the pinnacle battle has turned into a half-court offense and defense, which is really surprising, and it also confirms the strength of Spain.

In the face of a strong opponent, the tough German launched an attack from the right. Captain Lahm took the lead. He forcibly broke through Capdevila's defense and crossed the center!
After the German attacking midfielder Trohovski took the ball, he suddenly cast a cold arrow, and the football flew towards the right side of the goal!

The ball was powerful and heavy, and the angle was tricky. Casillas didn't dare to push it too far. He jumped up and touched the football with his right hand!
The football changes direction slightly and moves on!

The air in the Durban stadium is almost frozen!

Who would have thought that the German team's first shot would create a chance to score!

In the blink of an eye, the football hit the post and flew out of the bottom line!

"boom!……"

There was a huge exclamation at the Durban Stadium.

Spanish national television praised Casillas severely: "Casillas! Fantastic Casillas, he saved the German midfielder's powerful long-range shot!"

The Argentine has always been worried about being eliminated by Germany. The Argentine national TV commentator sneered: "32 minutes, the Germans took 32 minutes to usher in their first shot, and it was a long shot!"

"Did they put all their energy into the game against Argentina?"

Germany can also be regarded as Argentina's sufferer. The 90-year World Cup champion Maradona led Argentina, stumbled all the way to the final, and met the German chariot led by Matthaus.

The Germanic Chariot defeated the Pampas Eagle with a penalty kick, and Maradona shed tears in Italy.

In this World Cup, Maradona returned to the World Cup, but his identity changed, from a player to a coach.

In the quarter-finals, the two teams met again. Maradona vowed to take revenge before the game, but the Germans beat Argentina with a score of [-]-[-].

The football king Maradona once again shed tears on the World Cup field. Under the great disappointment and frustration, he even clashed with the German fans after the game.

In this game, Spain controlled the situation with pass control tactics, coupled with the amazing performance of the defenders, it was hard for the German team to complete the first shot in the No. 30 second minute of the first half.

This provided the Argentine with an opportunity to ridicule.

The ESPN commentator said: "This has created the record for the longest time for Germany to wait for the first shot in the World Cup since 1966!"

In the following time, the two sides once again launched a fierce fight in the midfield. Both teams invested a lot of troops in defense, and did not create a chance for the opponent to shoot.

The atmosphere on the court was extremely dull, which disappointed fans all over the world. This is not a peak match.

Where did the wonderful extraordinary go?
Where did the ingenious fit go?

The French commercial sports channel commentator said: "Compared with yesterday's semi-final, this semi-final is disappointing..."

The time soon entered the stoppage time of the first half, and a controversial penalty appeared. Klose made a breakthrough in the hinterland of Spain. Ozil flew forward and made contact with Ramos and fell in the penalty area. The Hungarian referee Kasay did not interrupt the game!
"Hush!..."

There were huge boos at the Durban Stadium.

The Spaniard ignored the boos of the German fans and immediately launched a quick counterattack, and the football was transferred to the German half.

Pedro volleyed from 26 meters in front of the goal!
Soccer headed for the goal!

The angle of the shot was too straight, and Neuer easily hugged the football.

Then the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides entered the intermission with a score of zero to zero.

The Spanish national TV commentator justified the dull situation: "This is a semi-final. The winner will have the opportunity to compete for the highest honor in football. No one wants to fall outside the final gate, so it is normal for both sides to pay attention to defense."

"However, Spain created a lot more chances than Germany, which shows that we are better than Germany in attack."

The German national TV commentator said in a deep voice: "Loew has to make changes. It is very troublesome to continue like this. We didn't even get a set kick in the first half.

If Ballack hadn't been injured, the German team would never have been so passive! "

The Argentine National TV commentator sneered: "Half game, 45 minutes, the Germans only had one shot, don't they feel ashamed?"

……

The atmosphere in the German locker room was oppressive. After Joachim Loew came to power, he was committed to making the team younger. Young people like Lahm were reused and even replaced Ballack as the captain.

This approach has the support of domestic reformers, but it has also been criticized by conservatives.

The reason for conservatives’ criticism is, “When it comes to key games, the veterans will use their experience to lead the team through the difficult period. There is nothing wrong with young people having passion, but passion alone is not enough in the later stage of the competition, experience is also needed!”

Judging from the first half of the game, the weak midfield is a very important reason why Germany is so passive.

Looking at the dull players, Loew broke the silence in the locker room and said: "The first half is over, we have to focus on the second half."

"Even though we didn't score, we didn't let Spain score either..."

"We have to be ready to play extra time, we must be patient..."

……

After a 15-minute intermission, players from both sides returned to the court.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, the German players regained their morale, and the Spanish players' fighting spirit was even higher.

"Tick!..."

With the whistle of the referee, the second half began.

Spain changed the pace of the first half and began to actively press after the start of the game, and quickly intercepted the football and launched an attack on Germany.

In the 3rd minute of the second half, Pedro passed back from the right side of the rib, and Alonso shot a low shot from 25 meters in front of the goal and missed the right post!

2 minutes later, Spain made a comeback, Ramos returned a pass from the right, Xavi did not stop the ball and directly crossed, Alonso volleyed with his left foot 23 meters in front of the goal and went wide again!
The opponent continued to launch threatening attacks on the right, and the German coach Joachim Loew immediately made personnel adjustments, replacing Boateng with Janssen.

Spain continued to control the situation on the field by virtue of its strong midfield strength. In the 10th minute of the second half, Iniesta and Harvey passed consecutive crosses.

Three minutes later, the Spaniard made another comeback, attacking from the left.

Capdevila and Iniesta kicked the wall and then made a low pass from the left. Alonso turned back in the penalty area and Pedro volleyed from 20 meters in front of the goal!
The football was blocked by Neuer to the right. After the transition between Pedro and Alonso, Iniesta broke into the penalty area on the left side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle. The football flew towards the far corner!

Villa flew forward with a shovel shot!
But he failed to touch the football!
Spain missed the chance to score!
But at this moment, Spain's morale was already high. They encouraged each other, and 3 minutes later, they grabbed the football at their feet again and launched a quick counterattack.

Pedro received a cross call from Harvey, and shot low with his left foot at the top of the penalty area and missed the right post!

Spain launched a siege, which made German fans worry. How could this be the German team that defeated England and Argentina strongly...
