The top prediction at the start, I am the third ball king

Chapter 554 The West German War Begins!
At 45:[-], as the starting players from both sides entered the stadium, the atmosphere of the whole stadium became warm.

Cheers resounded like a tsunami!
The Sky Sports commentator said loudly: "Hello, fans and friends! I am at the Belo Horizonte Mineiro Stadium!
After three days of rest, the battle for the World Cup is rekindled!

The first game of the semi-finals is about to start at the Belo Horizonte Mineiro Stadium!
Tonight's opponents are Spain and Germany!

Spain beat dark horse Colombia [-]-[-] in the quarter-finals, while Germany beat France [-]-[-] and the two teams met in the semi-finals.

In the World Cup in South Africa four years ago, the two teams also met in the semi-finals. With Puyol's header, Spain beat Germany by one goal and entered the final.

In the ensuing final, with Iniesta's goal, Spain defeated the Dutch team by one goal and won the World Cup championship for the first time in the final!
Four years later, perhaps by fate, the two teams once again met in the semifinals.

Before the game, the German players and the media talked about the game four years ago. They thought today's game was a battle of revenge!
They all expressed that they must defeat Spain tonight to avenge their revenge four years ago! "

The ESPN commentator said: "The starting players from both sides have entered the stadium, and the peak match between Spain and Germany is about to start!"

The commentator of French TV [-] said: "In the quarter-finals, France lost a small goal to Germany, allowing the German team to break into the semi-finals. Although the French team lost, it also gave us hope. Maybe four years later, They can be proud of the world football.

Let's go back to tonight's game. The Spanish team announced a few days ago that Li will recover before the semi-final with the German team. After reporters' observation, Li has indeed fully recovered now.

When he was just warming up, Li had no problems whether it was running or shooting.

His recovery is very timely and very important for the Spanish team!
In the past three games, Lee has dragged one foot to help Spain advance to the semi-finals, which has made Spain and Lee supporters feel heartache as much as they are happy.

They very much hope that a healthy Lee will stand in the World Cup.

What makes us wonder, however, is that Lee did not make it into Spain's starting XI!
Could it be that Li has not fully recovered?Or did he get hurt again?

We don't know..."

The Spanish national TV commentator said loudly: "We introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

Bosque still has a four-three-three lineup: goalkeeper: Reina; Juanfran, Albiol, Ramos, Alba; three midfielders: Busquets, Alonso, Kekai; three former players Forward: Pedro, Costa, Iniesta!
Compared with the previous game, two positions in the starting lineup have changed, one is midfielder and the other is center forward.

Busquets replaced Cazorla in the starting lineup. Busquets is better than Cazorla in terms of experience and defense. Facing a team like Germany, Busquets' experience is very important!
It is reasonable for Costa to replace Torres. After all, Torres did not perform well in the last game. Not only was a single chance wasted, but Spain conceded the goal because of his problem.

The most surprising and strange thing is that Li did not enter the starting lineup!
why is that? "

Guest commentator Raul guessed: "There may be two reasons for this. One is that Li has just recovered, and the other is that Bosque believes that the first half is a war of attrition. There is no need for Li to participate. Let him play in the second half. He hit the nail on the head.

In the morning's press conference, Bosque once talked about this issue, he said that what Spain needs is Lee's inspiration. "

The commentator of German National Television said: "The biggest reason why Li didn't start is that he has not fully recovered!

In the Spanish team's confrontation in the past few days, the Spanish defender did not engage in physical confrontation when defending Lee, which explains why.

As for why Spain announced that Li has recovered, there is only one reason, and that is that Bosque wants to improve the morale of Spanish fans and players. "

Guest commentator Mateus said: "I agree with this view, but it does not rule out that Bosque is releasing smoke bombs, making us mistakenly think that Li has not fully recovered!"

The commentator of Japan's NHK TV said loudly: "After introducing the Spanish starting lineup, let's introduce the German starting lineup.

Loew formed a [-] formation, goalkeeper Neuer; four defenders: Lahm, Boateng, Hummels, Höwedes; double midfielders: Schweinsteiger, Hedi Pull; three forwards: Muller, Kroos, Ozil, single striker: Klose.

Captain Lahm returned to his familiar right back position from the midfielder position, Loew abandoned Gotze who performed poorly in the previous game!

One of the biggest points of interest in this game is whether the German team can complete revenge, and the second point of view is whether Klose can surpass Ronaldo and become the player with the most goals in World Cup history!

The third thing to watch is whether Li Chuanqi can catch up with Ronaldo's scoring record in a single World Cup.

Li Chuanqi's current goal count is seven, which is only one short of Ronaldo's record of eight goals in the Korea-Japan World Cup!
As for catching up with Fontaine's 1958-goal miracle in a single World Cup in [-]... that should be impossible!
Why Li Chuanqi did not enter the starting list, this will definitely become a hot topic after the game! "

Regarding the reasons behind Li Chuanqi's failure to debut, major TV stations have been discussing a lot.

The distant lands of Europe, Spain and Germany are already empty.

Fans either choose to watch the game in a bar with their companions, or they choose to watch the game at home.

Even if there are pedestrians on the road, they are in a hurry, hoping to reach their destination early and watch the live broadcast of the game.

Fans from all continents and countries around the world are gathered in front of the TV, waiting for the upcoming game.

"Tick!..."

At five o'clock on time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Klose transferred the football to the back line, and the Spanish midfielder began to press.

The commentator of Chilean national television said loudly: "Fans and friends, the semi-final between Spain and Germany has begun!"

The commentator of Milan Sports Station said: "The penultimate match of the Brazil World Cup begins! Tonight's winner will enter the final to compete for the final championship!"

After the start of the game, both sides appeared to be very cautious. The German team did not rush to transfer the football to the frontcourt to attack, but poured the ball in the middle and backcourt.

And Spain did not press forward across the board, and the midfielders arranged defenses in their own half.

In the 6th minute of the first half, the German team finally launched an attack. After Muller got the ball from the right, he played a cross pass with Kroos in the center, and then made a pass from the wing.

Klose, who was ambushing in the middle, barely completed the header under the interference of Ramos, and the football was easily held in Reina's arms.
