Chapter 308 The huge impact of Brazil's defeat, Spain vs. Argentina officially begins!

Germany's Bild: A crazy victory!

Facing the host of this World Cup, facing Brazil, which has won the championship five times.

Germany's semi-final victory was a crazy one, a story we can tell our grandchildren and grandchildren as we grow old.

The Germans know how to kick someone when he's down. Winning would have been fine, but they actually wanted to keep a record of the win and tell it over and over again to their children and grandchildren.

This is simply a murder! ESPN: Where did the Brazilian team lose? The Brazilian team led by Scolari was defeated in a record-breaking manner. After the game, Scolari tried to explain the reasons behind this defeat.

The absence of Neymar and Thiago Silva is the most plausible explanation, however, even without these two players, the five-star Brazil would not lose to Germany by seven goals.

The few answers from the Brazilian coach obviously cannot truly explain the reason for the Brazilian team's disastrous defeat. This disastrous defeat may become a permanent shadow that will remain in the hearts of Brazilian fans.

BBC: Germany is aiming for the World Cup! After Germany beat Brazil 7-1, Germany advanced to the final, while their opponent Brazil suffered the most painful defeat in the history of the World Cup.

I believe that everyone who watches this game will re-evaluate the strength of the German team in their hearts.

Whether it is Spain or Argentina, it will not be easy for them to play against Germany in the final. Perhaps, our neighbors across the strait will hold their fourth championship trophy!

Although the British and the Germans do not get along very well, even the proud British have to admit at this time that the Germans have gone further and are more successful in football than them.

The strength of the Premier League has not brought much improvement to the strength of the England national team. In this World Cup, the British team was shamefully eliminated without winning a single game, which formed a sharp contrast with the record of Germany, which slaughtered the host country and advanced to the final with its head held high.

To be honest, the British feel a little jealous and they envy the Germans.

Sports Illustrated: Five-star Brazil's dream turned into a nightmare! For the Brazilian team, their World Cup dream turned into a nightmare in the semi-final match against Germany.

Spain's "AS": 7-1, the Maracana tragedy reappeared! Brazil suffered the most painful defeat in football history. In just 18 minutes in the first half, the German team scored 5 goals.

Kroos and Khedira gave wonderful performances, and Klose became the top scorer in the history of the World Cup.

The match in which Germany defeated Brazil 7:1 was so exaggerated that almost all news media in the world reported on it after the game.

In addition to the above-mentioned media, many well-known media such as Spain's Mundo Deportivo, Britain's Sky Sports, France's L'Equipe, Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport and others have also reported extensively on this game.

Such a tragic defeat with such a scoreline, especially against the five-star Brazil, is likely to be rare in decades or even hundreds of years.

As eyewitnesses, almost all fans around the world have endless complaints.

After the game, the social networking sites and news comment sections of major media outlets were flooded with comments from fans! "Where are the people who praise the Incredible Hulk? Come out and take a look?"

"The Incredible Hulk was invisible throughout the entire game and was directly replaced in the second half!"

"Sure enough, Brazil will not be able to survive without Neymar!"

"I think my sister-in-law's absence will have a greater impact on Brazil!"

"Indeed, Brazil's defense looks like a piece of tofu dregs. The Germans seem to be able to win no matter how they attack them!"

"It shouldn't happen. Aren't David Luiz, Dante, Maicon, and Marcelo all famous top defenders? How come they were completely ravaged by the Germans?"

Fans can't understand why Brazil's defenders perform so badly! They are not like Costa Rica, where almost all of them are unknown players playing in their own league.

All of them play in the top five leagues, are main players in their respective clubs, and are all well-established stars.

But looking at their performance in this game, it seems that they didn’t play as well as the group of unknown players from Costa Rica in the previous game.

"I can only say that everyone overestimated the strength of the Brazilian team before the game. This is probably the halo of the host country!"

"Well, that's possible, but there is another possibility, that is, everyone underestimates the strength of the German team!"

"Haha, I love to hear that. My German tank is truly invincible. All those bullfighters and Pampas eagles, just clean your necks and wait for death!"

Stimulated by this game, German fans were all very excited. They were originally a little afraid of the defending champion Spain, but now they have begun to ignore Spain! Germany can beat Brazil by 7 goals, can you Spain? Spain really can't do it! After all, it is also a kind of luck to break the opponent's mentality at the beginning of the game and then win no matter how you play.

Even with the same lineup, if the German team plays another game against Brazil, they may not be able to replicate such a score.

Even if there is a gap in strength between Brazil and Germany, the gap is far from being as exaggerated as 7 goals.

Therefore, such a tragic score is the result of the superposition of multiple factors.

The bloodbath of the Brazilian team has brought the popularity of the World Cup to a new level around the world.

Countless fans were attracted to the other semi-final - Argentina vs Spain! Compared with the match in the upper half, the match in the lower half was equally exciting.

One is the powerful defending champion, and the other is Argentina, which has Messi and a large number of stars.

The clash between these two teams will definitely be exciting.

However, the fans, who have been spoiled by the wonderful performance of the German team in the last game, hope that this game in the lower half will also present a hearty goal battle for the fans.

Some fans were so excited that they even started to discuss whether Spain or Argentina could inflict the same devastation on their opponents as Brazil did. "Argentina's defense is quite strong, and they haven't been suspended, so it should be hard to break them down, right?"

"Is there a possibility that the team that was defeated was Spain?"

"Haha, Spain's defense is not weak either. Besides, if you want to score a goal, you have to break down Spain's midfield first. But with the strength of Spain's midfield, who can take advantage?"

“The German team stood up and said I can!”

“…”

"Spain has played defensive counterattacks before, will they use this tactic in this game? After all, Argentina's forward line looks very strong!"

"It's hard to say. After watching the match between Germany and Brazil, I think both teams might play a defensive counterattack!"

"Indeed, losing 7 is really embarrassing!"

"Ahem, Brazil scored a goal in the 90th minute, but actually lost by 6!"

…

These days, not only are football fans discussing the World Cup, but even some people who don't usually watch football have been attracted to it.

There is no way. Everyone around them is discussing the World Cup. If they don’t watch one or two games, they won’t be able to communicate with others.

It seems that if you don’t watch the World Cup, you can’t integrate into society! What’s more, the match between the defending champion and Argentina is worth looking forward to!

This is the second time that Lin Quan and Messi meet after the Champions League.

The clash between the two football superstars has itself become a hot topic, attracting countless people looking forward to it.

Before the match between Spain and Argentina, a common question came up again: Messi and Lin Quan, who is better? Originally, Cristiano Ronaldo was discussed together with Messi, but Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo did not even qualify for the group stage and was eliminated early.

This resulted in the fans' long-awaited meeting of the two superstars on the World Cup stage not happening!

Fortunately, Lin Quan has emerged as a rising star and can completely fill the vacancy left by Ronaldo.

In fact, from the perspective of strength, fans are obviously more inclined to rank Lin Quan alongside Messi.

It’s a pity that there doesn’t seem to be enough grudge between Lin Quan and Messi, and the hype is a little lacking.

If this had been a duel between Ronaldo and Messi, the fans of both sides would have been arguing online for 17 or 18 days! As the two parties involved, Lin Quan and Messi obviously had no intention of caring about the online hype.

Neither of them cared too much about the outcome of the match. What they cared more about was whether their team could defeat the opponent and advance to the finals.

Having come this far, no one wants to lose in the semi-finals, and everyone hopes to reach the finals and win their first World Cup!

The difference is that this is Lin Quan's first time participating in the World Cup, and he has never experienced failure before.

This is Messi's third time participating in the World Cup, having failed twice before.

Therefore, Messi may be more eager for the World Cup.

Standing in the player tunnel, the players from both teams did not greet each other.

Although they are teammates and even good friends in the club outside the field, on the World Cup stage, they have only one identity - players of the Argentina/Spain national team.

However, during the pre-match handshake session, Lin Quan still hugged several teammates from the club.

"Lin, be gentle during the competition later!"

Zabaleta laughed and patted him on the back as he hugged him, joking.

"Well, I'll try my best!"

Lin Quan also knew that the other party was joking, so he also said something with a smile.

Zabaleta and Demichelis looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Having played with Lin Quan in the club for a year, they know Lin Quan's strength better than anyone else.

If this guy really gets serious, there's no way they can defend against him with just the two of them.

Fortunately, Argentina's coach Sabella deployed targeted defensive tactics to limit Lin Quan before the game. I hope these tactics can be effective in the game!

There are three Manchester City players in the Argentina team, but Aguero is unlucky as he is a substitute in Argentina.

After Higuain failed to score for several consecutive games, Aguero got some opportunities.

But he did not seize these opportunities. Now that Higuain's form has recovered, Aguero has been put on the sidelines by Sabella and is sitting on the bench watching the water dispenser.

Lin Quan was a little confused. Had Savilia never watched Manchester City’s game?

As his first wingman, Aguero performed well in both the league and the Champions League.

Lin Quan's own playing style is very similar to Messi's. Since Aguero can produce a chemical reaction with him, there is no reason why he can't with Messi. What's more, these two are good friends and have a very good relationship with each other.

In this case, he still insisted on choosing Higuain, which is a bit confusing! Higuain is a stronger version of Negredo. Although Negredo and Lin Quan can form a cooperation, Lin Quan still prefers Aguero, a small and agile striker who can grab the ball.

He has excellent positioning, is very fast, can cooperate with himself, and is efficient in catching rebounds.

This type of striker is most suitable for players like him and Messi who can pass and shoot.

Of course, Aguero's performance in the club and the national team is completely different, which Lin Quan has also heard about.

Some fans in later generations joked that Aguero in Manchester City is a top player, but in Argentina he is just a mascot, not suitable for playing in the game, but more suitable for being used as a sacrifice.

After going through a whole set of pre-match procedures, on July 10th, at 7:00 p.m.

The World Cup semi-final match between Argentina and Spain in the lower half officially started with the referee's whistle.

Perhaps inspired by the previous game, both teams played cautiously at the start.

The two teams have rarely met in international competitions. The last time they met was in a friendly match in September 2010.

In that game, Argentina defeated Spain, which had just won the World Cup, 4:1.

However, in the previous friendly matches, Spain defeated Argentina twice in a row.

The result of a friendly match doesn’t mean anything, especially since it was a friendly match four years ago.

Neither team took the result of that friendly match seriously, and both teams arranged their tactical play based on the other team's performance in the recent World Cup.

Relying on defense and holding the opening steadily to prevent losing the ball at the beginning, which would then collapse the team's morale and lead to a tragedy like the Brazilian team, is what they need to avoid first.

The reason why the Brazilian team lost so badly was because they lost the ball too quickly. The players were not in a stable state of mind and were anxious to counterattack. As a result, they lost the second and third goals...

After the Brazilians suffered a loss before, the remaining two teams naturally would not be fooled.

However, the conservative style of play of the two teams made the fans who came to watch the game somewhat dissatisfied.

"What are you doing with the plane? Attack now!"

"This back-footing from Spain makes me want to vomit!"

"The Argentine players should go and grab the ball. They just watch the other side pass the ball back and forth in front of them. Why don't they dare to take the risk and grab it from them?"

It’s not that the Spanish players didn’t want to attack, but Argentina’s defense was very tight and didn’t give them too many opportunities.

Lin Quan tried to break through with the ball, but was immediately intercepted by Argentina's left-back Rojo and their midfielder Mascherano.

At the same time, Argentina's formation moved towards him, as if to block all his passing and breakthrough routes.

After testing the opponent's defensive tactics, Lin Quan chose to pass the ball safely back to his teammates instead of launching an attack rashly.

Before you become familiar with Argentina's offensive tactics, it's better to be cautious and not take too many risks.

Seeing that Spain played so cautiously, Argentina's head coach Sabella's face became a little solemn.

He actually wanted to launch a defensive counterattack, but he couldn't do so because of his face.

However, considering that Spain plays passing and controlling football.

So sooner or later the opponent will come out to attack, and then they will shrink their formation and no one will say anything.

However, looking at Spain's performance after the opening, they did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, and the pressure was not strong enough.

What is going on? Is Spain trying to weaken itself? On the field, Messi played very actively.

After Spain pressed forward, he and his teammates used active running to press the opponent's player with the ball.

He seldom did this kind of thing when he was in the club because he wanted to save his energy for attacking.

But on the World Cup stage, in order to win, Messi is willing to do such dirty work.

However, in front of a large group of top passing masters, such pressing is unlikely to be effective.

Messi rushed towards Xavi, who passed the ball to Iniesta.

Messi rushed towards Iniesta again, and the latter passed the ball to the retreating Lin Quan.

Seeing Lin Quan catching the ball, Messi rushed towards him without thinking.

The audience at the scene became excited when they saw the two finally meet.

Here it comes, the first direct confrontation between Lin Quan and Messi on the World Cup stage! (End of this chapter)
