Chapter 141: Lore?

They couldn't believe what was happening in front of their eyes, and Mertesacker, who had made a big mistake, collapsed to the ground, and the cruel reality made the eyes of this strong German moisten.

Goalkeeper Neuer lay on the ground, reluctant to get up for a long time, and the goal he guarded for the German team was so easily broken by Degan.

Loew on the sidelines only shook his head and sighed again and again, he had no reason to blame anyone, because a crazy Deegan was not something that earthlings could compete with at all.

Twenty-five goals, Deegan has taken his World Cup tally to twenty-five, and that's still not his limit.

And just now, when the Germans were still cheering for Klose's thirteenth and fourteenth goals in the World Cup, Degan responded in this way.

Now it was the Belgians' turn to celebrate, and after most of the frustration, they could finally vent their heads.

Fifteen minutes remained, but now the tide is starting to turn in Belgium's favour.

Defend!

Loew made a quick decision, and it was obviously not a wise decision to go head-to-head with Belgium, who were in their prime, and this was the time to choose defense and frustrate the Belgians.

Extra time or even penalties!

Loew wants to drag the game into the final penalty shoot-out if he can!

It can't be said that Loew is conservative, he just made the right choice at the right time.

The Germans began to shrink their defence, the Belgians began to take advantage of the victory, and after Degan's equaliser, the Red Devils were completely ignited, Deegan had pulled his team back from the brink, and now they will not allow the team to fall again.

Offensive! Offensive!

The Red Devils began their favourite style of possession, surging towards the German defence.

They led most of the game, but in the last ten minutes, the opponent equalized, and the morale of the German players was obviously affected, but fortunately, their defense, after adjustment, was still solid, and it was able to withstand the Belgians' crazy attack.

As the clock ticked by, the Belgians were attacking more and more fiercely, and it was clear that they wanted to settle their opponents within 90 minutes.

But in the end, the referee's whistle blew and the second half ended with 30 minutes of extra time.

In the 90-minute game, the physical strength of the players on both sides has basically been consumed, and the 30-minute overtime will be an unspeakable torture for both sides.

What's more, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, even if the technique is good, in such weather, there is no way to play, in the first half of overtime, both sides played very dull, and from time to time players fell due to physical exhaustion.

In this World Cup, the most eye-catching newcomer of the German team, Thomas . Muller fell to the ground with cramps at the end of the first half of extra time and had to be reluctantly substituted.

Belgium also made a change to this side, Antienes also made a change, replacing Lukaku with Milaras, who was obviously preparing for a penalty shoot-out, and in terms of penalty ability, Milaras was obviously more reliable than the young Lukaku.

The rest of the players were basically unable to run at the moment, and even Deegan seemed very quiet, not so much running as walking.

At the end of the first half of extra time, the two sides got back into the game after a short break.

"It looks like both sides of the game are running out of energy, the players on the pitch are a little unable to run at the moment, and a good game may only end up being decided by penalty shootouts!"

A wonderful duel, but in the end, only a penalty kick can be used to determine the winner, I have to say that it is a bit anticlimactic.

However, Degan did not agree, and Degan, who had been resting on the field for fifteen minutes, suddenly broke out after the start of the second half.

"Oh God! Degan still has the strength, Degan, who almost disappeared in the first half of overtime, suddenly suddenly exerted force in the second half, Degan broke through with the ball, his speed was as if he had just come on the field, the German team was in danger! Ram pounced and was easily gotten rid of Degan, but Ram didn't give up and quickly chased after him, sticking his body to Degan! ”

Direct dialogue between the two captains!

Degan's speed is fast, but the desperate Ram's speed is not slow at all, he wants to make Degan stop and buy time for his teammates to return to defense, but his small body is completely not enough in front of Degan.

Degan's sudden force made the Belgian team feel as if they had been stimulated, and under the leadership of Degan, they were fully pressed.

"Defend! Defend! All go back! Loew didn't care about his image anymore, so he rushed to the sidelines and let the rain fall, dousing him into a soup chicken.

Antienes also stood nervously on the sidelines, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes fixed on the sudden change of the court.

Rod! It's up to you now!

The heavy rain made the Mandela Bay Stadium a little muddy, and the football seemed a little slow to roll on the ground, and there was no telling where it would roll in the next second.

Deegan could only do his best to protect the football, and when he looked up, he was already close to the range, but Mertesacker was already waiting in front of him.

Before he had time to think about it, Deegan suddenly stretched out his foot and stepped on the football, his body stopped suddenly, and Ram, who was caught off guard, rushed forward a few steps and opened up a gap with Degan.

This is the time!

Degan gently pushed the ball forward, and then ran two steps forward, although the heavy rain prevented Degan's skills from being fully exerted, but it also provided convenience for his shot, and the football stopped steadily on the field, so that Degan could grasp the angle more easily.

Ram summoned the last shred of energy in his body and pounced, reaching out for a block, but Deegan had already made the final preparations before his leg could reach for him.

Boom!

With all his strength, the football was like a cannonball, whizzing towards the German team's goal, and in the heavy rain, Neuer's vision was seriously affected, and Degan's shot was too sudden, he was not mentally prepared at all.

By the time he realized that the football was already flying towards him, it was too late to react!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!”

The Germans looked blankly at the Belgians who were celebrating wildly on the pitch, and they had a hunch that there was no hope for this game.

When the referee's whistle blew, the German tank, which had been telling the moving German tank, crashed to the ground, and the young and heroic German team finally fell to the ground at the Mandela Bay Stadium in heavy rain.

The team, trained by Loew, the most handsome man in the world with a scarf, was once so close to victory, but in the end it still failed to beat fate and was blocked out of the semi-finals.

Watching the German team in black jerseys leave the stadium gloomily, one cannot help but think of the beauty of the black suit and the padmac when they landed at the airport in South Africa a month ago, and it is hard to say how many people realized at that time how tedious this World Cup would be without this young team.

The Mandela Bay Stadium, the "lotus" blooming on the waterfront, the one-month World Cup schedule makes it look a little devastation, those green patches mixed with an earthy mottled stadium, imprinted with the traces of the past month, have fought here.

This was the sad ground for the German team, their only defeat in the group stage was a 0-1 defeat to Serbia here, but after 0-1, it was a 4-1 victory over England in the 1/8 final, but this time, they fell 3-2 in this place, and the European Red Devils had the last laugh.

As many people have said, the youngest team in the history of Germany in 74 years, although they only reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup, they are still so young, they have time.

After just one month of World Cup fixtures, the world remembered Thomas. Muller, the 21-year-old who made his debut for his country in March 2010, continued the legend of the name "Muller" with three heavy goals.

Ozil, who has a pair of big eyes, and Schweinsteiger, a "little pig" who is becoming more and more mature, also let the world know that the German team without Ballack has a more terrifying possibility.

Podolski, who has a sunny and smiling face, Mertesacker, who is "a big man is not stupid", and Kiessling, who has the title of the top scorer in the Bundesliga, have made the world pay more attention to the future of the German team.

See you at the European Championships in two years' time, and the German team will live up to Lineker's famous words: "Football is a game in which 22 men run for 90 minutes for a ball, and the Germans win." ”

Although the German team only ended the World Cup as the quarterfinals this time, the youth storm set off by this young "Germanic chariot" in South Africa made all opponents feel "terrifying", and subverted the fans' impression of traditional German football.

With an average age of less than 25 years old, the German team is one of the youngest teams in this World Cup, for such a young Germanic car, before the start of the World Cup in South Africa, it was not favored by outsiders, and even some media predicted that the German team is likely to fail to qualify from the group.

But the process and results of the game proved that the Germanic chariot without Ballack, Kahn, and Kuranyi did not slow down, but on the contrary, with the passion and vigor of young people, let this chariot accelerate on the track of South Africa, there is no doubt that the future pattern of world football is bound to change dramatically because of the "rampage" of young chariots.

The young "German chariot" still has a chance and a future, but for the German veteran Klose, who has participated in three World Cups, South Africa Ken may be his farewell stage in the World Cup, as long as he scores one more goal, Klose can tie Ronaldo's total goals in the World Cup and become the second place in the World Cup total scorer list, but the World Cup has no assumptions, no ifs, everything ends with the referee's whistle, two goals, Klose has done well enough, no one can criticize him anymore.

In front of many "talented" strikers, Klose's diligence and hard work even seem a little "mediocre", but this is precisely Klose's rule of success.

With 52 national team goals and 14 World Cup goals, Klose has proved the meaning and value of a striker with his dedication and pursuit of football.

Although Klose was unable to rewrite history and create miracles in South Africa, for Klose, his mission was accomplished, and he accompanied the German team through the darkest troughs and led a group of young people to a bright future, and as a veteran, he can finally retire into the background.

Keep the grief to yourself and the future to the team.

This is Klose's belief in football, and at this moment, the so-called "World Cup goals list" has become irrelevant.

When the dust has settled, there is only one last suspense left for the new "Germanic Chariot", and that is the departure of German coach Loew.

At the same time as the curtain of the World Cup in South Africa for the Germans fell, Loew's contract with the German Football Association has also expired, and as for whether he will continue to be the coach of the German team, Loew said in an interview with the media that he has not communicated with the German Football Association, because he needs a period of time to calm down and think seriously.

Loew has the highest winning percentage of any of the 10 German coaches since 1908, leading the German team to a winning rate of nearly 70 per cent at 69.2 per cent. Although he failed to help the German team "ascend to the throne" in this World Cup, his coaching ability, employment ideas, and the new style of play injected into the German team have won Loew new glory and have been recognized and praised by more industry insiders.

Loew took over the coaching whip from Klinsmann amid doubts, but no one expected that after only four years of coaching, Loew would become the first "winning general" in German football in the past 100 years.

Loew's 69.2% win rate surpassed the legendary coach De Waal's 65.7% to rank first, and overwhelmed the "Emperor of Football" Beckenbauer by 18 percentage points.

If it weren't for Belgium, Loew is likely to be the most successful coach in German history, although Loew said that it is not yet certain whether he can stay, but it has been reported from the German Football Association that Loew will continue to be the coach of the German team until the end of Euro 2012, whether Loew goes to stay or not, he will be the most "handsome" coach in the history of German football.

Leading a young team to the quarter-finals of the World Cup without being favoured, Loew and the young German team's World Cup journey must not be described as a failure.

The future is still bright!
