Chapter 449 Three Generals of Germany

With a goal from Ronaldo in the second half, Brazil beat the Turks 1-0 against the Turks who had previously played against each other in the group stage. Ronaldo also scored 6 goals in this game, temporarily leading the way World Cup scorer list.

At the same time, this goal not only brought Brazil into the final, but also had a different meaning for him. This goal also brought his total goals in the World Cup finals to 10, replacing the 9 goals scored by the Leonidas, known as the "Black Pearl", became the second player with the most goals scored in the World Cup finals in the history of the Brazilian team.The current ball king Pele still ranks first in the Brazilian team's scorer list with 2 goals. This goal in this game also enabled Ronaldo to rank 12th in the World Cup's total scorer list.

Of course, after a victory, not only Ronaldo, but also his teammate Rivaldo has once again attracted the attention of all parties.

In the last season's league and Champions League, the declining Mr. Golden Ball failed to help Barcelona achieve good results, which made him questioned, but in this World Cup, Rivaldo once again proved that he is not old. .After sending off the Turks, Lazio club president Sergio Caragnotti said they planned to snatch Brazilian midfielder Rivaldo from Barcelona, ​​and this time they threw a heavy weight in addition to expressing a positive attitude. golden bomb.

"We will do our best to persuade Barcelona to transfer Rivaldo, at any cost, but only if the Brazilian genius is willing to transfer." Caragnotti has sent his representatives to watch the Brazilian team in Japan. The game, and sent an invitation to Rivaldo.According to reports, Lazio offered Rivaldo a high price, with an annual salary of 500 million euros per year, and the transfer fee they paid to Barcelona will also reach 2500 million euros.If Rivaldo agrees to the contract, he will also receive a signing fee of 1100 million euros.

It is said that Rivaldo has not made a clear statement on this kind request, but he has replied that he will have a clear statement after the World Cup is over.According to the Brazilian media, the two clubs have made preliminary contact on this issue, but everything has to wait for Rivaldo to nod. It can be seen that Barcelona and Rivaldo are on the verge of breaking up at this moment.

Of course, they are not the only ones whose value has skyrocketed again because of the World Cup. They have scored 5 goals so far, second only to Ronaldo, keeping pace with Rivaldo, the former World Footballer of the Year, and surpassing Kenny's 24. The year-old German starlet is also one of the beneficiaries.

Miroslav Klose, one of the few exciting young players in Germany, scored 16 goals for Kaiserslautern last season, and he also played in Germany's first two World Cup qualifiers. Scored the winning goal.What is relished is that Klose likes to perform hat-tricks. In a game against the Israeli team in January 2002, he performed his first hat-trick for the national team.

And this World Cup, Germany's first game against the Saudi team, he gave the Saudis a hat.

Speaking of which, the hottest Zhengyin center in Germany today is a well-deserved legend. Klose had a wide range of hobbies when he was a child. He studied piano for 6 years, participated in the Polish Youth Piano Competition, and also practiced gymnastics. Football is just One of Klose's hobbies.After Klose's family moved to Germany when he was 9 years old, he joined the Diederkopf team, a small amateur club near his home, and started extracurricular football activities.

In 1997, the 19-year-old Klose joined the Humboldt team in the third tier league because of his outstanding performance in the amateur regional league and became a semi-professional player. ,, After playing for the Humboldt team in the third tier league, the 22-year-old Klose was discovered by scouts and promoted to the Bundesliga Kaiserslautern youth team.It stands to reason that such a character who entered the youth team of a Bundesliga club at the age of 22 may have already passed his golden age, and he became a semi-professional player at the age of 19?You must know that when Kenny was 19 years old, he was playing with the team in the European Cup!

But the reason why miracles are miracles is that extraordinary people have done extraordinary things. In 2000, Klose made his debut in the Bundesliga in the match between Kaiserslautern and Frankfurt in 10. In the game of Werder Bremen, he scored the first professional league goal.In his debut season in the Bundesliga, Klose was placed at the winger position because of his physical and speed talents. He contributed 9 goals for the team and helped the team reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.

In the 2001/02 season, in the second season of the Bundesliga, Klose's position on the field was changed from the first winger to the center position, and scored 16 goals and 7 assists in the league this season, becoming the Bundesliga player. The best German native shooter and best rookie of the Bundesliga season, and was selected for the national team.But at this moment, he is about to become the top scorer of the World Cup. The player who was still playing in the amateur league three years ago has a calm expression on his face. It was as if humility had been baked into his character.

In the analysis of the Italian coaching staff and the introduction to the players, Rick Lose was one of the three most threatening players in the German team in the semi-finals, while the other two were the core midfielder Ballack and goalkeeper Kahn .

Some people say that Kahn is like a piece of ginger, the older it is, the hotter it is. When the once extremely powerful German team was declining, Kahn bravely stood up to defend the honor of German football.Obviously this statement is extremely correct. Kahn is undoubtedly the hardest link in the chain of the German team, and also the most critical link. His task is to end all threatening attacks of the opponent.He obviously did this, as coach Wöller said, without Kahn, the German team should sit at home and enjoy the World Cup on TV after the group stage.

People may never dare to imagine that the German team can reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.And now they have the hope of reaching the final.The German team can have today because they have a magical "savior" like Kahn.This is what Beckenbauer said.

The Germans didn't like Kahn in the past and gave him the name "Gorilla". Every time Kahn went to a game outside of Munich, the fans always threw bananas on the field.But now, they should thank this "gorilla".It is a tragedy that a football powerhouse that has won the World Cup three times has now fallen to the point where it can only be saved by a 3-year-old magic goalkeeper.

Of course, no matter how people criticize him, Kahn is definitely an insurmountable existence for Italian forwards, especially Kenny, who has played against him, feels even stronger.It stands to reason that this man is one year older and his physical functions have declined in all aspects, but this World Cup Kahn not only does not hurt his waist and legs, he is also very handy with all kinds of magic attacks, and he has almost booked the Golden Gloves.

Therefore, in the past few days, in addition to watching Kahn's save video and analyzing his movements and shortcomings, the Italian coaching staff has also kept their strikers busy.

As for the last member of the German trio, and the player most feared by the enemies of the German team, it is naturally Ballack. He can always score the most critical goals in the most critical games. role within the team.

In the two-round rematch of the World Cup qualifiers between the German team and the Ukraine team, Ballack scored 3 goals, so that the Ukrainians could only stand on the Don River Plain and look at South Korea and Japan.Throughout the World Cup qualifiers, as a midfielder, Ballack scored a total of 5 goals and tied with Klose for the top of the team. More importantly, he never seemed to score worthless goals.

In the first group match against the Saudi team in the World Cup finals, the Germans went on a rampage and scored 8 goals, but Ballack was very "moderate" and only scored 26 goal.But in the quarter-finals against the United States, when other strikers were all misfired, Ballack rushed to score the only goal of the game.It seems that German players are always late bloomers, but there is no doubt that the [-]-year-old Ballack is the best hope for the revival of German football.

If you want to choose three players from the Italian team to compare with the Germans, then Buffon, Totti, and Vieri are undoubtedly the most suitable three. The young Buffon is undoubtedly better than the seasoned Kahn Not as good, and as the world's top football center, Vieri must also crush the rookie Klose in terms of strength, so if there is a comparison, then the final decision will be staged between Totti and Ballack.

In this cup, the German team's previous advantages have not been fully utilized. Of course, this is also related to the weaker opponents. They often only need one ball to drag the game to the end.Judging from the content of these few games in Germany, their defense is very solid and resilient, especially the ability to control high points ranks first among the top 32.

Of course, the weakness of the Germans is also very obvious, that is, there are not many ways to deal with the dexterous and fast small forwards, but fortunately they have the world's number one goalkeeper Kahn behind them.In terms of offense, the German team is still "one trick is eaten all over the world". Its precise crossing from the side and powerful header ability make it difficult for any opponent to guard against.Under such circumstances, the Italian coach decided to let Inzaghi and Kenny still start after thinking about it, even if Kenny's characteristics may have been thoroughly studied by the Germans.

After all, apart from Kenny, the head coach Zoff really doesn’t think anyone can do better than Kenny in the winger position. His impact, flexibility, and imagination are indispensable for the Italian team today. thing.
