I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 228 Change Destiny
When he saw Cassie go up to talk to Buffon at the end, Zhao Jinge turned off the TV casually.

This is probably the last time in the international competition. San Cassie is indeed one of Buffon's rivals in his career, but perhaps many people did not expect that in the end, Buffon sent Cassie away in the international competition, which can be regarded as the end of an era.

Although the TV has been turned off, Zhao Jinge's ears seem to still be echoing the drawn-out tone of the commentator's roar just now. So far in this European Cup, the first hard bone that the German team will touch is coming!

"Italy? This group of guys, a group of veterans, came to us as before, Joachim, what are your plans now?
Now it seems that Conte still has a few brushes. "

Watching the TV, Conte was so excited that he jumped up on the spot, and after hitting the ceiling of the coach's bench, he didn't care and still looked passionate.

Flick knew clearly that the German team would definitely pay the necessary price if they wanted to cross Italy this time.

Now Conte is like a lion. Under his hands, Italy seems to have a sense of majesty again.

"I haven't thought it through yet, Hans. I need to calmly think about whether to attack as usual according to the original plan or become more conservative. You know, this is very difficult."

Loew rubbed his temples as if he had a headache. On the football field, quite a few practitioners still believe in superstition and metaphysics.

Germany's embarrassing record against Italy, invisibly, put tremendous pressure on the German national team.

Even Loew, who knew in his heart that his side must be stronger, became a little flustered at this moment, let alone those German fans who were always paying attention to the news of the national team.

Compared with another set of duels between France and Iceland, the topic of the German-Italian war was immediately full, and it was discussed in full swing in football circles all over the world.

Some believe that tradition is optimistic about Italy, and some want to see Germany break the curse and advance. In addition, there are analysis, demonstrations, and predictions from various angles, and everything is constantly fermenting.

That kind of posture that the wind and rain are about to come and the wind is full of the building makes Love appear cautious when arranging tactics.

He looked over and over again the videos of all the four matches in Italy so far, listed the data one by one for analysis, trying to find a way to defeat the enemy, and then denied them one by one.

Just as Loew struggled, on July [-], [-], the quarter-finals of the European Cup in France officially started.

The first quarter-finals match was a classic duel between the two superstars who are quite interesting.

Although the match between Poland and Portugal was not a major event in the quarterfinals, thanks to the presence of Ronaldo, this match still attracted a lot of attention.

The two teams have played against each other a total of six times in the history of the international A-level competition, and both sides have two wins and two draws. From the historical record, Poland and Portugal are still neck and neck.

Moreover, the last two matches between the two sides were also draws. Under such circumstances, the performance of the superstars of both sides also determines the direction of the game.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The Polish team made a fantastic start in the opening 2 minutes.

After the opening, Grosicki received a diagonal long pass from the midfield, and then immediately began to dribble the ball to attack Portugal's side defense.

Maybe it was the lack of concentration at the beginning of the game, maybe it was the huge pressure that deformed his prediction.

Portugal's full-back Luis Suarez was over the top in defence.

In the case of the opponent's mistake, Grosicki seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
Go to the bottom, and then pass to the middle!

Amidst the series of exclamations from the on-site commentator, Lewandowski appeared at the right place at the right time, and with a relaxed push, Lewandowski scored a quick goal that ranks among the top in the history of the European Cup finals!
After the goal, Lewandowski raised his arms and shouted, and the Poles surrounded him frantically and celebrated.

And this goal became Lewandowski's only goal in this tournament.

However, the start of the fantasy does not mean the result of the fantasy.

After Lewandowski opened fire, the Portuguese were of course not to be outdone, and their superheroes also stood up.

In the No.303 minute of the game, Ronaldo's active movement in the Polish penalty area involved a lot of defensive attention from the Polish.

Portugal's young teenager Sanchez put the ball precisely at Nani's feet while advancing diagonally towards the opponent's center.

Interspersed with the movement, Nani directly used the heel to return the ball to Sanchez, who was at the front of the Polish penalty area and was unmarked.

After catching the ball, Sanchez didn't hesitate at all, and just volleyed with his left foot, and the Pole's goal was smashed!

Portugal evened the score in the first half, and both sides failed to achieve anything in the following games. In the end, they experienced a brutal penalty shootout. The Portuguese had the last laugh and became the first team to reach the semi-finals of the European Cup.

Immediately afterwards, on the second day after the end of the Portuguese War, the second match of the quarter-finals was officially staged.

Wales led by Bell against the golden generation of Belgium!
Before this game, Zhao Jinge made a special call to Teacher Ding.

The meaning inside and outside the words is: Teacher Ding, you have to play well in this game, don't underestimate the Welsh, otherwise Belgium, which is gaining momentum, may capsize in the gutter!

I don't know if this phone call played a role. In the German's Forte Pierre-Mauroy Stadium, Belgium, whose flag is very similar to Germany, seems to have received good luck.

The European Red Devils first thrilled to draw [-]-[-] with Wales, which was amazingly fighting that night, in the regular time of the game. Then in the penalty shootout, Courtois showed the strength of Europe's top goalkeeper.

In the end, Belgium defeated Wales in a penalty shootout.

When Zhao Jinge, who was watching the game in the hotel, saw the change in history, he was stunned for a while, and then laughed heartily. It's really you!De Bruyne!
If there is any huge change in the current Belgium in this tragic matchup that originally lost [-] to [-]?

There is one and only one: They have a Kevin De Bruyne with a more mature mentality, stronger strength, and more leadership than the original history!

We always say that football is not a game for one person, but sometimes, one person's play changes history!
After the start of the game, Belgium took the lead shortly after the opening, but Ramsey played an amazing performance at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half,

With his two consecutive assists, the Welsh team completed the lead in the score in 5 minutes of the game!
Ramsey, the Arsenal genius who suffered some injuries due to a broken leg, unexpectedly became the brightest star in this game.

Whether it is Bell, the biggest star in the Welsh team, or the golden generation of Belgium on the opposite side, under his dazzling light, everything seems to be covered up, until De Bruyne's explosion!
After the score was overtaken, the Belgian team fell into a common problem with young teams. They were too impatient, and they missed too many opportunities in their eagerness to equalize the score. Lukaku has shown his somewhat happy nature since the beginning of this game.

Hazard was also caught in the frenzied siege of Wales.

With three central defenders and five midfielders, the Welshman's backcourt has been completely surrounded!
At the critical moment, Mr. Ding, who had been tempered in countless big scenes in Manchester City, stood up.

He first reassured his teammates to stabilize the defense and not to give the opponent another chance to counterattack because of anxiety, and then actively communicated with Hazard, telling him not to fight alone, but to cooperate with teammates in the middle and the other side as much as possible to make the entire offensive end more systematic.

After the Belgian team's mentality stabilized slightly, the big-hearted De Bruyne helped the Belgian team equalize the score through a free kick created by Hazard!
Seeing that Mr. Ding tried his best to keep the team alive, the other Belgian players finally showed the attitude of the three armies, and kept the score that was finally equalized until the end of the game, becoming the second team in the upper half to successfully advance to the semi-finals!

After the game, De Bruyne, who had fought the whole game, collapsed on the football field exhausted.

Zhao Jinge clearly saw this scene through the live TV broadcast. At this moment, apart from excitement and blessings, Zhao Jinge couldn't tolerate other emotions in his heart.

Maybe they could really meet at the top, maybe from this moment, this European Cup will be completely changed!
After sending a text message of blessing with his mobile phone, Zhao Jinge didn't care when De Bruyne would reply, and went to bed immediately after sending the message.

The next day was the blockbuster match between Germany and Italy.

For this game, Loew even stopped the team's daily training today, just to allow the German team members to have sufficient physical strength to deal with the next day's World War.

Local time, on the afternoon of July [-]rd, when the bus carrying the entire German team was slowly driving on the central avenue in Bordeaux, France under the guard of the police, both sides of the road were already full of excited German fans!
"Zhao Jinge!"

"Thomas Muller!"

"Royce!"

……

The fans chanted the names of the German team stars.

However, unlike the excited fans, the German players in the bus seemed quite calm, but this calmness was a bit too quiet, not so much calm as it was extremely suppressed tension!
Before the game, Loew said when he participated in the pre-match press conference:

For the German team, this game is definitely not a quarter-final in the ordinary sense. It is a fateful duel between the German national team and the Italian national team, two traditional European giants!It is the rise and fall of German football!
There is only one ticket for the semi-finals stage, is it to break the demons, or to reincarnate again, tonight's game is not the final victory is the final!

The bus finally drove slowly into the Atlantic Matmut Stadium.

Just in the parking lot, many reporters were blocked by security personnel at the intersection, shouting their own questions with their microphones raised high.

Of course, no one would pay attention to these reporters.

The players and coaching staff of the German team walked into the stadium tunnel with serious faces.

In the locker room, Loew took the trouble to tell his players the key points on the court that they need to pay attention to.

"After the start, I need you to strictly follow my pre-match plan to prepare to play!

Before attacking, I need you to defend!
The defense of the Italians, I don't need to mention it any more!

Once the Italians take the lead, the game will fall into their rhythm completely. In other words, we will have no chance of a comeback!
You must remember this point!

When playing football with the Italians, don't expect to have the chance to come back after making mistakes again! "

"Pellet! This high center forward is the core of the Italian offense and the core of our defense!"

"For Italy now, the departure of Pirlo has allowed Conte to basically give up control of the midfield.

The team's offensive center of gravity has completely shifted forward, yes, it is to find Pellet directly, and use various methods to find Pellet!

Whether it's a cross from the wing or a variety of long passes in the middle!
Their only passing target is this high center forward who serves as a tactical fulcrum! "

"Pellet has been in good form in the Italian national team for the past two years. He is almost the most stable center for the Italians in the past ten years!
His characteristic is that he can pass and shoot, he has an excellent header, and he can also play the ball!
Judging from the tactics of the qualifiers, Conte still relies on long passes, and Bonucci is the first point of defense he arranges.

Therefore, the Italian team needs Pellet to support the high ball.

Jerome, Matz, Bastian, the first priority of the three of you in the defense is to completely strangle the threat posed by Pellet!
Remember, I don't want to see him get even a single lob in the middle of our core!Not one! "

"When the Italians are on the field, their three-line distance will be closer, and the two sides will be recovered, so that when defending, they can form a numerical advantage in most areas.

This will inevitably make it difficult for us to use traditional offense to penetrate the Italian defense, so we must seize the only chance!
Nothing should go to waste!

Zhao, Thomas, 272, I will leave the offense to you, so be patient, more patient!
In the last few games, the average running distance of the Italians has reached nearly 2000 meters!
They relied on relentless running to maintain their lack of midfield control, which not only made our chances fleeting, but also did not leave us with obvious gaps.

Therefore, I have doubts about whether the offensive end can achieve results.

Therefore, defense is the top priority of our game! "
