Champion’s Heart

Vol 6 Chapter 55: French-German battle

After a day of rest, the World Cup rekindled the fighting.

The first game of the quarter-finals was a contest between France and Germany, the old rivals in Europe.

The two European tycoons met in the quarter-finals, which made many European football players regretful, because the two teams performed very well in this World Cup, and of course hope that the two teams can be separated. It would be nice to play against China and Colombia separately.

It should not be difficult for the Netherlands to beat Costa Rica over there.

It is very likely that Belgium will lose to Argentina. But it doesn’t matter. In the quarterfinals, three European teams besieged an Argentina. It is very likely that European teams will meet in the finals in the World Cup in South America.

Of course, such a beautiful vision has been difficult to achieve. Both France and Germany must have one home.

The two teams have fought a total of 25 times in history. The French team has the upper hand with 11 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses. This feels different from the stronger German team today.

But in the World Cup, the results of the two sides are different.

In the World Cup, the two sides confronted a total of three times, respectively in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, the 1982 World Cup in Spain and the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

The French team only won the first match in 1958 with a 6:3 victory. In 1982, after the draw between the two sides in the semi-finals, Germany eliminated the French team by a penalty shootout. This game is one of the classic battles in the history of the World Cup, and it can even be said to be the most classic reversal to win in the history of the World Cup. In the seventeenth minute of the game, Litbarsky broke the deadlock and took the lead. However, the French team composed of Platini, Gireser and Tigana, after being behind, controlled the situation. They launched a siege on the German team and made it only nine minutes after the German team broke the goal. After a penalty kick, Platini hit the ball and equalized the score.

Then the two sides fought fiercely. French player Battiston collided with German goalkeeper Schumacher. Schumacher rushed out of the penalty area and hit Battiston into a coma with his knee, but he was not punished.

After the game entered overtime, the French team helped the French team achieve a 3-1 lead with a free kick of Tereso and Giresel's volley in six minutes. This score can basically be sentenced to the German team. The death penalty, but the German team broke out when they were in desperation. Rummenigge came off the bench and scored a goal in 102 minutes.

In the 108th minute, Fisher's barb in front of the goal hit the football into the dead end and equalized the score!

In the end, the German team defeated the French team with excellent psychological quality in the penalty shootout.

This game has become the best evidence that the German tank has the will to steel. After all, it can be recovered after losing two consecutive goals in overtime and then winning. It is an unprecedented history in the history of the World Cup. Here comes...

When people later talked about the German team, they will have the impression of the Germans' tenacity in their minds, precisely because of this classic French-German war.

The third World Cup confrontation between the two sides was in the semi-final of the 1986 World Cup. The German team easily defeated France by 2:0 and reached the final. However, they lost to the Argentine team with the "ball king" Maradona in the final, missed the championship.

The World Cup confrontation between Germany and France is very easy to produce classics, but this game in the World Cup is different.

Before the game, fans and the media have high hopes for this powerful dialogue, hoping to see a classic matchup comparable to the 1982 World Cup.

This is especially true for many Chinese fans. In China, there are already many fans of German football and French football.

And before the Chinese team's game, at ten in the morning, four hours, there was such a strong dialogue, and the time was better.

Everyone is looking forward to a wonderful game.

But the actual results were disappointing.

Lyon dropped the ball and played a dull game.

In the twelfth minute, the German team received a free kick. Cross hung the football on the left side of the French team's penalty area. The Dortmund center defender Humels squeezed away the Varane defending him and scored a header. Helped the German team achieve a one-ball lead.

The two of them had just played in the Champions League final and now meet again in the national team.

With only one ball, the German team eventually defeated France 1:0.

A goal was scored in 90 minutes, and the scene was not exciting enough, which made Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the ball very depressed. Many people said on the Internet that he fell asleep while watching...

And the fans laughed at the dullness of this game: "The German team and the French team must know that the next game is the focus of our attention. In order to ensure that our Chinese fans have enough sleep time, they joined forces to offer this hypnotic game. , Successfully let us fall asleep. I believe that Chinese fans have gone through these ninety minutes of sleep supplementation, and they will definitely cheer for the Chinese team when watching the Chinese team and Colombia game!"

In the match between France and Germany, Chinese players only watched the first half in the hotel. They saw Humels' goal.

For Zhou Yi, Yan Min and Yang Muge, they are more familiar with the German team. If they must choose one of the French team and the German team as their opponents, they hope to be the German team.

Teammates who used to be in the club will have to fight on their own in the World Cup.

However, it didn't take long for the second half to begin, and the Chinese team's players, on the coach's urging, boarded the bus and headed to the Castellon Stadium.

Along the way, you can see Chinese fans waving five-star red flags to cheer them on.

These fans waved toward the Chinese team bus, and the Chinese players on the car waved their thanks.

After coming to the locker room at Castellon Stadium, the equipment administrator who arrived earlier had placed the players' jerseys and shoes on their respective positions. When the players didn't arrive, the photographer had come in and filmed the locker room. Every player's jersey had a lens, but the lens stayed the longest on Zhou Yi's ball.

When the players arrived in the locker room, the game between France and Germany was almost over. The German team still led the French team by one goal.

Chinese players are still concerned about the result of this game in the locker room. After all, if they beat Colombia, then the result of this game is related to their opponent in the quarter-finals.

In the end, the German team defeated France with Humels' goal and became the first team to enter the semifinals.

Zhou Yi picked up his phone and sent a message on Twitter and Facebook: "Congratulations to the German team for entering the semi-finals!" Then he @rounded his teammates in Dortmund.

After putting down his phone, he began to change clothes and put on training clothes.

And when the players started to change clothes, Lit came in and found Rong Hao and Yang Hao who were changing their clothes, and said to them: "You both can have a yellow card. You will be playing in a while, but be careful in the game..."

Lippi has not yet announced the starting list of the Chinese team in this game. Not only does the outside world not know, even the players themselves do not know who will start in the game.

Ronghao and Yanghao nodded: "Relax."

Lit added: "But if there is an emergency, even if you get a yellow card, you still have to do the action. Don't hesitate. You are all defensive players. There will definitely be less pressure."

In the forty-five minutes before the start of the game, the Chinese team appeared on the court and began to warm up. At this time, a lot of fans from both sides were already sitting in the stands of Castellon Stadium.

In this game, Colombia wears their traditional yellow shirts ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ white shorts jerseys, so in this game Colombian fans are mainly dressed in yellow jerseys, looking around, seeing the sky yellow The crowd, that is, the Colombian fans, they occupy most of the stands. Of course, there should also be some Brazilian fans wearing yellow jerseys...

Since the Brazilian team was eliminated, Brazilian fans' enthusiasm for the World Cup has declined a lot.

However, this game is not bad in terms of the attendance of the stands.

Maybe some Brazilian fans want to see the Chinese team eliminated...

The Chinese team still wears red jerseys in this game, and Chinese fans also use red clothes as their main color.

The Korean team’s home jersey is also red in color, so it’s no wonder that two South Korean fans walked on the road a while ago and were beaten by Brazilian fans... The Brazilian must have called the red Korean jersey the red Chinese team jersey Although the red colors of the two teams are actually completely different, in the eyes of Brazilians who are not familiar with Korean and Chinese football, I am afraid they are the same...

On the stands, yellow and red are striking and distinct.
