The Dutch took the opportunity to attack the Germans, and the Le Repubblica said: Before the 1974 World Cup final, Bild broke out that the Dutch team had a drinking party, causing a fire in the backyard, and the Netherlands fell short in the final. Thirty-six years have passed, and Bild has harmed its own national team this time!

Before the game, they broke out in the captaincy of the German team, and the image of the German team was damaged, leaving the German players with a heavy burden. The semi-finals were entirely a Spanish show, and the German team, which was burdened, was completely suppressed. Bild: This is a cocoon!

……

There is a reflection in Germany. The Süddeutsche Zeitung published a commentary entitled "Surrender in Humility": The German players respected the Spanish team too much, and often "welcomed the opponent" in the face of opponents, and rarely put pressure on the opponent.

The game was completely controlled by Spain from the start, and at one point Spain had 75% possession in the first half. As a result, the German players were afraid of passing the ball at the back and in midfield. The only way to relieve pressure was to clear the ball with a big foot, and most of the time, the ball was immediately back at the feet of a confident Spain.

If the Germans have anything to gain from this game, Paul the Octopus is another star, predicting a victory for Spain before the game.

The team newspaper said: "We all love Paul the Octopus! After the semi-final match against Germany, journalists from the Iberian Peninsula shouted excitedly in the mixed zone – the amazing octopus once again proved that its "magic power is boundless".

Taking advantage of its favoured east wind, Spain won 1-0 in the game and reached the World Cup final for the first time in history.

Spanish victory. Thank God, thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you to the octopus. "Paul the Octopus was right!" The Spanish newspaper "Marca" also hit the headline for the first time: "This German octopus named Paul has become the talisman of the Spanish national team." It predicted Spain's victory over Germany in the semi-finals, and that has already come true. ”

In a half-joking, half-serious tone, they said, "There is only one question left, will it be the result of the final between Spain and the Netherlands again?" ”

In fact, Paul's name has not only been widely circulated in the media, but even the players dare not ignore its power. "Have you heard the story of the predictable octopus? It was the result of the game. ”

In the mixed zone, a good Spanish journalist grabbed Spanish defender Sergio Ramos. It looks like he wants to convert Ramos into an "octopus worshipper".

Don't want the Sevillans to laugh: "Of course I know it. Thank you for its bullish outlook. Long live the octopus! ”

He made a joke and then explained: "I'm not very superstitious, but I still hope that the predictable octopus will continue to look favorably on us in the final - because everyone thinks it brings us good luck." And luck is the key to success. ”

Of course, Paul's prediction may have given the Spaniards confidence to win. But compared to the opinion of the octopus. It's undoubtedly how the protagonists perform on the pitch that really matters.

The Spaniard played with a solid game tonight. Proven his true strength. It also dispelled many doubts about this team before, which was enough to give them full confidence to step into the final.

……

Spain's historic run into the final has been met with excitement in the Spanish media. They chanted: France will win the championship if they reach the final for the first time in '98, and so can Spain!

The French media shot back: In 98 we had Zidane, who of you? Now we have Don, who do you have?

Milan Sports newspaper believes that the match between Spain and France is actually a competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Real Madrid has been able to beat Barcelona in recent years, and the chances of France beating Spain are very high.

The Paris Daily put it very simply: we have Don, so no matter who the opponent is, we have absolute confidence to win!

The German newspaper Bild also believes that the French team has a better chance of winning: in terms of experience, France has the advantage, most of the main players of the French team participated in the World Cup four years ago, and all the main players participated in the European Championship two years ago. This kind of tournament is a little more experienced.

Secondly, in terms of momentum, the momentum of the French team is getting stronger and stronger. Don was in astonishing form, and he was perfect in the semi-finals, beating the Netherlands with a hat-trick.

France are a team that needs an absolute core, and as long as they have a core, they can play a good game. Like Platini back then, he led the French team to the semi-finals, making the French team rise from the second rate in Europe to the first class in Europe.

In '98, Zinedine Zidane took the French team to the first apex, winning the first Hercules Cup in history on home soil. In '06 he led the team to the final again and helped the team take the lead with a "spoon penalty".

If there is no picture of headbutting Materazzi, the third champion has already been born. Everyone knows how important a leader is to France, so after he was sent off, many thought France was finished.

However, the future leader of the French team stepped forward and killed Italy with a volley that went down in history. Since then, a new era has been ushered in for the French team. Four years on, Don has become the leader of the French team.

The leader was ill-fated in this World Cup, and before the start of the tournament, he was involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, and women continued to come forward to say that they were having affairs with him. The image of the French leader has been greatly damaged, and the French team's warm-up results are also very poor.

When everyone thought that the history of the '02 World Cup would repeat itself, Don was not crushed by public opinion, he stepped up and came on as a substitute in the first game, passing and shooting to help his team get off to a flying start with a 2-0 win over Uruguay.

In the following time, Don was unstoppable, scoring in just five seconds in the second match against Mexico. And in just seven minutes, he scored a hat-trick to help the French team enter the knockout round one round earlier.

In the first round of the knockout round, the opponent of the French team was the South Korean team, and Tang was severely tested for the first time in this tournament, and the Koreans wanted to drown him with crowd tactics. However, he scored two goals in his only two shots on goal to help France finish South Korea 3-0.

In the quarter-finals, France's opponent was African powerhouse Ghana. Tang did not start due to an injury sustained in South Korea's game, and Ghana led 1-0 in the first half. France needed heroes to save them, and Don came off the bench in the second half.

Ghana retreated into the semi-finals with a lead in the half. Time and time again, the French team's attacks were in vain. As the game entered the final ten minutes, Don suddenly made a move and scored a goal in the 82nd minute to equalize the score. Then in the countdown stage, he beat Ghana with a free kick.

France's opponent in the semi-finals was the Netherlands, who had won all of their matches. Given their tough game against Ghana, many people are more bullish on the Dutch team. However, the semi-finals turned out to be beyond expectations, and Don showed his talent to the world.

In the 14th minute of the first half, he picked up the ball near the centre circle and beat the Dutch six-man to send the ball into the Dutch goal. This goal is the most beautiful goal since the start of this World Cup, and it is completely comparable to the classic goal of Maradona in 86.

After the French team took the lead, they continued to work hard, and a minute later, the tridents came together to tear apart the Dutchman's defence. Ribery had two unsuccessful shots on goal, but Don seized the opportunity to make it 2-0 for France. He scored another hat-trick in the second half to help France beat the Netherlands.

The defending champions advanced to the final, and they were only one step away from successfully defending their title, which was inseparable from Don's great performance. Don is conquering the world with his perfect performance, can Spain stop him?

Spain's two central defenders are from Barcelona, Barcelona has been suppressed by Real Madrid over the years, Puyol and Pique can contain Don? Hard!

……

Obviously, the Spanish media did not see it that way, and the World Sports newspaper said: The French team relies too much on the ball dominance, as long as Spain can contain the ball dominance, they can get the final victory.

The ball's performance in the semi-finals was perfect, but that doesn't mean he can be perfect in the final. The pressure on the final is even greater, and Barcelona's two central defenders will be ashamed, and what they lost in La Liga, the Champions League, and the European Championship will be regained in the World Cup!

Marca helped Spain come up with the idea: although the Dutchmen failed in the semi-final, they were successful in defending Don for most of the time. There's only one way to deal with Don, and that's - foul!

As soon as he holds the ball and is ready to break through, he immediately makes a tactical foul. Spanish warriors, this is not the time to be proud, we can be gorgeous on offense, but we don't have to defend it. The proud Dutch are dying on pride, and we have to learn a lesson.

Of course, tactical fouls are also about mastering the size, and this is not about the size of the cards, but the choice of the place of the foul. Be careful within 30 metres of goal, as Don has a chilling free-kick stunt.

Daily Sports gave the same answer: foul early, don't let the ball bully break through with the ball, and don't let him run at speed!

The French media believes that the other players of France in the final will have to take on more offensive responsibilities.

The Evening Newspaper of the Republic said: Don is brilliant, and it is conceivable how the Spanish defenders will limit him. That's when the other players should step up.

For Ribery and Thierry Henry, this is also their chance to make a mark for France, as Don is sure to attract more defensive force.

"Football World" said: Ribery's performance could make the difference between the outcome of the game, and with Don heavily defended by the opposition, he has more room to maneuver. He can either cut inside or break through with the ball to win a free-kick in front of the box for France.

The daily newspaper de Lyon gives Domenech a move: Don and Henry swap places. In this way, Henry can link up with Ribery, and Don's main responsibility is to draw Spain's defensive strength to the other side.

What does this trick mean?

Don Jue stepped aside and let Ribery and Henry take the lead?

Didn't the Lyon newspaper think that if Domenech did this, Tang Jue would think?

Do they want to provoke civil unrest in the French dressing room? (To be continued......)
