No. 1232: The Battle of the Kings is coming!

Sergio Aguero's goal quickly upset the balance on the pitch and when the game restarted, Brazil clearly stepped up their attack, with Argentina responding with a tough defence.

The situation on the field is in the middle of a struggle.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Brazil created a good chance to open the scoring when Paulinho launched a quick counter-attack after completing an interception in the hinterland and passed the football to Oscar.

Oscar won the ball on the left and dribbled to the front of the penalty area, then made a quick stop, shook off the defense in front of him, and forced a low shot into the box!

The soccer ball flies like an arrow towards the near corner!

Argentine goalkeeper Romero jumped to his feet and flew towards the football!

Between the lightning and flint, Romero's fingertips touched the football, changed direction and flew out of the bottom line by grazing the column!

"Boom! ……”

There was a huge cry of regret in the stadium as Brazil missed their best chance to equalise.

Argentina entered the second half with a one-goal lead, and the second half had just begun, and Argentina launched a stormy attack on Brazil with the first serve.

In the first minute of the second half, Messi started the breakthrough mode after receiving Ravitch's cross in the hinterland, and broke through two Brazilian defenders in a row to the front of the penalty area.

"Smack! ……”

Messi was surrounded by four Brazilian players, a diagonal pass, the football drilled into the left rib of the penalty area, Argentine midfielder Biglia flew to kill, raised his right foot is a strong shot!

The angle of the shot was not tricky, and the Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar raised his fists to keep the ball out of the box!

Mascherano, just outside the box, snatched the football at his feet and immediately transferred it to Messi.

After Messi got the ball, he quickly got rid of the defense next to him, and shot on the line of the penalty area, and the football flew towards the left side of the goal!

Brazilian goalkeeper Sergio Romero showed his courage and jumped to his feet to save the ball from the bottom line!

Three minutes later, Argentina made a comeback, Messi once again turned on the breakthrough mode and crossed diagonally from outside the box, and the ball flew to the right side of the box.

Higuain leaps forward, and as he raises his right leg to shoot, he is tripped by Luis on the left!

"Tick! ……”

The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot with his right hand!

Penalty kick!

Messi came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms and gently put it down, whether it was in Barcelona or Argentina, he was the number one penalty taker.

In the limelight, Messi scored a penalty!

Two to zero!

Argentina extended their lead.

The Brazilian fans in the stands were silently in tears, their team had been so sad since reaching the semi-finals.

After the restart, Brazil came out on top.

In the following games, both sides had a few good chances to find the back of the net, but neither was able to find the back of the net.

In the end, Argentina maintained their two-goal advantage until the end of the game.

2-0, Argentina defeated Brazil and finished third, ending the journey of this World Cup.

When the third and fourth places are over, all eyes of the world turn to Germany and the Netherlands, who will win in the final?

The strength shown by the German team in the semi-finals left German fans and the media ecstatic, and they saw hope of winning the cup.

However, after the ecstasy slowly faded, they realised that their opponents in the final, the Netherlands, would not be so easy to beat.

Defending champions have a razor-sharp forward trident in their squad, and behind the trident is the old and stalwart Sneijder, a combination that has proven to be formidable in the game.

Compared to four years ago, the Dutch midfield has changed a lot of players, and Van Marwijk has given many youngsters a chance to keep the midfield alive.

Of course, being young also means being inexperienced, so they have made some mistakes in the game as well.

Overall, the Netherlands feel top-heavy, attacking more than defending.

The German newspaper Bild analyzed: "If the German team wants to beat the Netherlands in the final and finally win the championship, it must first resist the attack of the Dutch forward trident.

Secondly, it is to take advantage of the young Dutch backline and look for a lethal opportunity.

When it comes to defending, Chan is certainly a top priority, with the world No. 1 scoring a horrific eleven goals in the six games that have ended!

If the German backline can't contain him, they won't have to hope for the title.

It's not enough to contain Chen, Van Persie and Arjen Robben also have the ability to change the situation on the pitch at any time, and if they are given a chance, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, when the German team is defending, the first thing is to try everything to contain Chen's play, and the second is to cut off the connection between the three of them.

Only in this way can the trident be dumbfounded.

Of course, the Germans can't afford to relax their defence against Sneijder yet.

As the game progressed, Sneijder's performances got better and better, and he was often able to deliver comfortable passes to the striker and let the trident kill with a single blow.

In a word, the first thing the German team has to do well in the final is to defend, and if you don't do a good job of defense, it is impossible to defeat the Netherlands and win the championship! ”

The Netherlands' attacking power was terrifying, but Germany's attacking power was equally formidable, as they wreaked havoc in the semi-finals with a six-goal win over hosts Brazil.

The Dutch Telegraph said: "Germany are almost on par with the Netherlands in terms of goals, so we can't just see that we have a strong attack, but also understand that Germany is also a strong attacking team.

So when we put our hopes in the front three, we have to defend well.

The German team has a lot of attacking points, with eight players who have already scored goals, while the Dutch team has only five!

There is a very popular saying in football - no defense, no championship!

However, this newspaper believes that if the Dutch team wants to successfully defend its title, it still relies on attack, and offense is the best defense.

So, we would like to advise Mr. Van Marwijk to be a little more daring in the final, we have Chen, we have Van Persie, Robben, Sneijder!

It's a combination that can break anyone's goal!

Raise the banner of attack, go to the goal of the Germans, and plant the flag of victory on the walls of Germany! ”

The largest Dutch media outlet believes that the Netherlands must play attacking football if they want to beat Germany.

The French team newspaper analyzed: "Since Brazil successfully defended the title in 62 of the last century, a full forty-eight years have passed, and no one has successfully defended the title, this is a curse.

Can Holland with Chan break this spell?

This is undoubtedly the biggest attraction of the final.

The Dutch are not so much battling Germany for the title as they are battling the spell, and as the heart of the Dutch attack, Chen is undoubtedly the hope of the Dutch team.

In a telephone interview with Chen last night, Chen said: "Before last year's Champions League final, a lot of people were talking about the curse and thinking that Real Madrid would not be able to defend their title. But Real Madrid ultimately defended their title, and again this year! ’

So, in my opinion, the so-called curse is not terrible, we can completely use our iron will and faith to break it! ’

From Chen's words, we can see that Chen has strong confidence in the success of defending the title!

For Chen, this is the battle for him to be crowned king, as long as he can lead the Dutch team to successfully defend the title, he will be the third king after Pele and Maradona! ”
