The French team was very happy with the win over the Netherlands and they were looking forward to the final. Tang Jue's prestige in the team reached its peak, and everyone was full of respect for him.

The semi-final between France and the Netherlands produced a great player, so could the other semi-final also produce a great player?

Most of the media believe that Germany and Spain are teams that pay attention to teamwork, and it is difficult to produce a lone heroic goal like Tang Jue. In other words, it is difficult to appear to ride alone.

If there had to be one, the most likely person would be Robben. The Dutch flying wing has speed, but also super breakthrough technology.

El Monde Sports doesn't think so, believing that Casillas could be another god, "In the quarter-finals, Casillas managed to help Spain qualify for the final. He can also help Spain reach the final tonight, because he is the only god of Spain. ”

World Sports is the mouthpiece of Barcelona, and they even have a rare elevation of Casillas, some people think that they want to create a god to fight against Tang Jue.

Who will meet France in the final?

The Spanish media believe that since their team has already made one history, it can also make another history, and Spain can reach the final.

Pele also believes that Spain can reach the final, "The German team is too young, although they have achieved brilliant results before, but the World Cup needs experience. Spain have a pool of experienced players who have a better chance of reaching the final. ”

Pele is famous for his crow's beak, and it's rare for Spanish fans to hear him say this. There was no anxiety.

"Since Don can break his spell, so can Spain!" This is the reason for Spanish fans. This reason is very strong, and it is also unreasonable to talk about it, and Tang is definitely not a Spanish player.

Messi stepped up at this time. With Argentina being eliminated from the World Cup in South Africa after a 4-0 defeat to Germany, Messi chose his second home Spain as a team to support.

He also told his Barcelona teammates via text message that if they want to be ashamed of Argentina, they should eliminate the German team, and at the same time reminded them to beware of the Germans' quick counterattack.

After Argentina was eliminated by Germany, the Barcelona players in the Spanish team sent a text message to Messi to express their condolences, and Messi also explained the key to the Barcelona team-mates against Germany.

The Barcelona international in the Spanish team and Messi have been in contact with phone calls and text messages during the World Cup. Before. Both sides have also congratulated each other. Now, the situation has changed, Argentina has been eliminated by Germany, and the Barcelona players have instead sent words of encouragement.

Messi is particularly closely linked to Puyol and Xavi. In addition, he and Cesc Fabregas also have nothing to talk about. The two formed a strong friendship when they played together in the Barcelona Academy.

Messi thanked his teammates for sending text messages of encouragement. He also offered to give advice to the Spanish players and told them how to deal with Germany. The Argentine superstar is 100% convinced of Spain's possession and passing style. It will definitely be able to beat the German team's style of play that emphasizes physicality and fitness.

The Spanish media joked that Messi had become a "Spanish spy" who had experience in head-to-head battles with Germany, and he said that it was very crucial not to let the Germans score first.

'We were conceded by them so early and it killed us because they were very comfortable on the counter-attack. The Germans have the pace, they have the power, they can lock the game with counter-attacks. ”

Messi wants Spain to be ashamed of himself by beating Germany, so he motivates his Barcelona teammates: "Don't be too nervous against the Germans, play at the level you usually train, play the way you know it, this is the best way to avenge my Argentina." Help me get my revenge with your gorgeous football! ”

After Argentina was eliminated, Messi became a fan of the Spanish national team. The Spanish team has a lot of good friends in the team, and the style of the Spanish team is the same as the football he knows and likes - the football of the Spanish national team is born from the football of Barcelona, and Messi is an important executor of Barcelona's tactics.

In order to help the team overcome the difficulties of the German team, Spain brought in a shocking support team - Queen Sofia and legendary star Di Stefano.

According to the Spanish royal family, Queen Sofia of Spain will be in Durban to cheer on the team. At that time, Queen Sofia will have the opportunity to communicate with the players. Once Spain make it to the final, then King Juan? Carlos and Prince Felipe will also travel to South Africa to join Queen Sofia. However, it should be noted that when the Spanish team lost to the Swiss team, Prince Felipe and the princess were on the scene to watch the game.

In addition to the support of the royal family, Real Madrid legend Di Stéfano may have made a wish on his 84th birthday: the Matadors can win the Hercules Cup from South Africa.

"My best birthday present? Spain should have won the championship, and I hope Spain will be the World Cup winner. Di Stefano also reminded Bosque and his team that the German's speed and power pose a huge threat to the Spanish team.

The Spanish stars threatened, and Huluwa Villa said: "I will score two goals in the semi-finals because my jersey number is seven. ”

Villa are now second in the scorers' charts with five goals scored.

Casillas said: "This is the most important race in our history! ”

'We're not here yet, we're the away team. We're going to hold Germany out of the final, that's why we're coming to Durban, and that's the only goal. We have removed the barrier to the last four, which is a milestone for Spanish football and we will continue to move forward. ”

'I don't think anything is as important as this game against Germany at the moment, we all have our own dreams. Our first goal is to beat Germany first and reach the final. ”

Commenting on his opponents, Casillas continued: "It's a young German team with four or five very good players in their 20s. I think Germany can reach the final of the 2002 World Cup, reach the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup and finish third. It's no accident, they do have a lot of quality, and with a good coach like Loew, they also have dreams. ”

Speaking to the media, Spanish coach Bosque said: "It's going to be a close game, whether it's attacking or defending from controlling the pace of the game, we're on the same level. ”

'They can play quality counter-attacks, they have excellent defensive qualities, and their individual defensive qualities are definitely not inferior to any good team.

'We're all strong teams and we've played against each other a couple of times. But we're two different teams. The German team played very directly and very toughly, while our style of play was more organised and focused on short passing. ”

'They have a lot of good players, Lahm. Schweinsteiger. Klose. Ozil ...... These players are the backbone of the German team, and they are like the engine of the German tank, because we have seen the German team perform in the past games. And these talented players are pushing the German chariot down the road to revival. ”

"Tonight's semi-final is going to be a great game, we won't let people down, Spain will go to the final. We lost to France at the Euros two years ago and we want to beat them at the World Cup. ”

……

The Germans are adamant that their team will reach the final against France for the title.

German football legend Beckenbauer said in an interview that the cultural integration of diverse colors and the bold use of young players by German coach Loew have propelled German football step by step to the World Cup title.

According to Beckenbauer, the tradition of the German team is one of tactical discipline and teamwork. Many non-German-born players are now joining the German team, enriching the German team: "Some of our players were not born in Germany, but they have German passports. This is probably a big reason why the German team has performed so well in South Africa. ”

Eleven of Germany's 23 players were allowed to represent other countries at this World Cup, but they chose the German team. Of these, Podolski, Klose and Trokhovski are Polish-Germans, Ozil is of Turkish descent, Cacau is of Brazilian descent, and Gomez is of Spanish descent.

In the semi-finals, the winner of Germany and Spain will advance to the final. According to Beckenbauer, Spain will be tougher than England and Argentina.

"However, I believe that Germany will win against Spain, there is no doubt about that. The World Cup is the perfect time to show off a team's style. The German team showed their characteristics in South Africa, which is very important. ”

Beckenbauer also said that Loew is very bold and dares to use young players in the World Cup. He said: "After the World Cup, Loew's contract with the DFB will expire. Now, we all hope that he will remain in the manager's position in the future. ”

At this critical juncture, there is another piece of news for the German team, which makes people worry about their future.

Ballack, who made a special trip to South Africa to cheer after the team reached the quarterfinals, returned to Germany after watching the match that eliminated Argentina in South Africa.

The former national team captain said through the German Football Association that his recovery was "very good" and "faster than planned". However, the conditions in South Africa are not good, and the current medical staff of the German team must focus all their work on ensuring the condition of the players, so he decided to return to Germany early.

However, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that, in addition to the superficial reasons, Ballack did not watch the semi-final between Germany and Spain in order to ensure the calm and unity of the team and avoid causing controversy. The captain of the national team was actually "forced" to leave South Africa and return home to watch the World Cup.

Following Ballack's injury in May, boss Loew named Lahm as the new captain, and Lahm has not only excelled himself, but also led the team. Speaking to Bild on Monday, Lahm said: "I will not voluntarily hand over the captain's armband. ”

This is a marked departure from his previous attitude, when he was preparing for the World Cup in South Tyrol, Italy. Lahm added: "I believe Ballack will be back in the team after the World Cup. And to be our captain again, it was the first time I had competed in a major tournament without Ballack. ”

Public opinion is in an uproar, and there is infighting in the German team? (To be continued......)
