I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 242 The upcoming final

After the French team's frightening attack this time, at the 10-minute mark, Loew also took this opportunity to make substitutions.

Draxler replaced Reus and Sane replaced Thomas Müller.

This substitution also fully demonstrated Loew's current careful thinking. After defending for more than 20 minutes, the Germans were about to start a further offensive again.

As soon as the two freshmen came on the field, the German team's fast attack was naturally more threatening.

In the No.70 second minute of the second half, Draxler's through ball almost helped Zhao Jinge score another goal!
Kanter stopped Zhao Jinge outside the penalty area at the cost of a yellow card.

Deschamps was also startled into a cold sweat, and hurriedly let Moussa Sissoko play after warming up, replacing Kanter who played mediocre today.

Sissoko's physical fitness is good, he can play both left midfielder and midfielder, and he can defend inward at critical moments. Then the French team can add another player who can be physically worthy of Zhao Jinge in their midfield defense. Defensively strong.

It seems that Deschamps was also tortured by Zhao Jinge's performance today, and this time there will be a black and hard low-end version of Essien to limit Zhao Jinge's performance.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinge thought for a moment, then went directly to the French team's penalty area and started to support the fulcrum.

The French team piled up four black and hard inside and outside the penalty area, and it would not be very effective to go forward to find opportunities like before.

Zhao Jinge felt that it would be better to be a tool man, which could not only suppress the central defender and midfielder of the French team, so that they would not dare to advance easily to support the attack, but also attract defensive firepower to other teammates.

His tactical change quickly put several French defenders in a dilemma.

Not to mention the inability to attack, there must be at least two defensive players staring at his running position.

Draxler and Sane surrounded Zhao Jinge and took on the heavy responsibility of attacking forward. Under the rhythm of the attack, the French team's defense was never easy, and it can only be said that it was miserable.

In the No.708 minute of the second half, Evra, whose physical fitness had dropped to a certain level, could not withstand the impact of Draxler who had just played.

272 helped Draxler successfully break through the French team's right-sided defense with a straight pass.

Xiao De's rapid progress on the left side directly hit Deschamps' heart to the bottom.

Zhao Jinge's follow-up was very quick and timely. When Draxler passed back from the bottom, he arrived in the right area again.

But seeing Koscielny and Umtiti rushing towards them viciously, Zhao Jinge saw that there was no room to shoot, so he just tapped the ball back!
After Sane, who was almost unmarked, stopped the ball easily, he even had time to adjust his shot.

Lori has the heart to curse!
What is the difference between an unguarded shot at this distance, even with him as the goalkeeper, and an empty goal?

The French goalkeeper gritted his teeth and rushed to the near corner, but Sane chose to nudge the center of the goal and scored a goal comfortably.

With a score of three to zero, it can be said that the overall situation has been settled!
Sane grinned, and pointed at Zhao Jinge while stepping back to the bottom line. Zhao Jinge and Draxler ran towards him laughing.

"You have to treat us to dinner for this ball, and after the cup match is over, you have to treat us all to drink!"

"Why?! It was Zhao who attacked me. If you want to invite me, please invite him! Why are you here to join in the fun!"

"Forget it, forget it, the relationship has faded, this little brother won't recognize me as a brother once he scores a goal."

Draxler joked about Sane, who also came from the Schalke [-] youth training.

The three grinned and fought on the bottom line for a while, and the fans of the German team were completely relieved and started a carnival of celebration.

Deschamps put down the tactical board in his hand, smiled wryly in his heart and sighed.

The game is over.

With more than ten minutes left, Didier Deschamps and the French team could only recognize the reality in the face of a three-goal deficit.

After Loew and the assistant coach hugged and celebrated, they were determined. After a little thought, Gotze, who was on standby on the bench, called someone to come over and let him get ready to play.

272, who sent many key passes today, was replaced. After Goetze came on the field, he followed behind Zhao Jinge and played the second striker. The formation also changed to a standard [-].

Two substitutions in a short period of time changed the three main frontcourt players in one breath.

Love also considered the physical condition of the main players in advance.

There was not much time left in the game, and the German team turned to a full-line defense. At this time, the four forwards in front were all good counterattackers.

Gotze, who had just played, retreated to the midfield, leaving only Zhao Jinge in the frontcourt to continue to maintain pressure on the French midfielder and backcourt.

The players of the French team still maintain such a mechanical and numb offense. It seems that apart from passive offense, they have no other way to relieve such a heavy sense of despair in their brains.

Being eliminated in the semi-finals at home is definitely a shame for a big football country like France.

Although there was not much hope before the game, when the fact of being eliminated completely happened, the French players still couldn't accept it calmly.

Just like the Brazil team two years ago, it is definitely an unforgettable painful memory!
In the No.80 second minute of the game, after the French team's attack was interrupted again, the German team launched a fast break again.

Zhao Jinge responded in the middle circle this time, and Jirou and Matuidi surrounded and suppressed him together.

Matuidi thought that Zhao Jinge would break forward, but he didn't expect Zhao Jinge to pull the ball and turn around. The distance between the two was less than one meter.

After taking the ball, Zhao Jinge turned around and ran towards the half of the French team.

Toni Kroos stopped and took a trip from the left, and quickly pushed the offensive forward.

Moussa Sissoko pursued Zhao Jinge from behind, but was gradually pulled away.

After Toni Kroos hit the ball close to the heart of the French team, he made a slight adjustment and passed the ball to the front of the opponent's penalty area.

In the process of running forward to catch the ball, Zhao Jinge saw Umtiti rushing out of the penalty area to intercept.

All the French fans held their breath, expecting Smalling to stop the fierce Zhao Jinge.

But in the eyes of Zhao Jinge, who is driving forward at high speed, the slightly cumbersome Umtiti is completely a large wooden stake. Will you fight against the wooden stake? !
Of course, relying on the speed to eat it raw, only when the brain is sick will it take the initiative to fight. Isn't that giving this black and hard a chance?
When Umtiti was about to intercept Zhao Jinge when he was waving the ball, Zhao Jinge turned the ball to his side, bypassed Umtiti and continued to advance.

Draxler, who was supporting by Zhao Jinge's side, led the ball and cut into the penalty area. At the same time, Zhao Jinge continued to run forward.

Draxler, who was almost in front of the goal, saw Lori abandon the goal and rushed towards him. He calmly knocked the ball back diagonally.

Zhao Jinge stopped the ball and scored the fourth goal of the game with Mr. Tony's iconic putter.

After the German team scored the fourth goal, the French team's offensive was not as violent as before, but Griezmann seemed to have not given up, and was still working hard to find a chance to score.

After entering the stoppage time period, most of the French team's offensive methods have also become long passes to find a few forwards.

Griezmann made a hasty shot and kicked the ball on Boateng's arm that was too late to recover. The referee on duty directly whistled for a handball foul and gave the French team a penalty.

It was Boateng again and again, who sent two penalties in two consecutive games, which is no one else.

In the end, Griezmann simply shot and scored, saving a bit of face for the French team, and the referee on duty simply blew the whistle for the end of the game.

After the game ended, captain Schweinsteiger, who did not play in the game, led all the German players to the stands of the German fans to express their gratitude.

The joy of being promoted to the final, the happiness of the German fans who were about to be dazzled, chanted the name of every player on the field amid the sadness and anger of more than 5 French fans at the scene.

When Zhao Jinge stepped forward to express his thanks individually, the cheers from the fans were also extremely loud.

"Another near-perfect performance! Zhao Jinge's state is very good, two shots and two passes! When the European Cup final is coming, his good state can give the German team and the fans of the German team They have great confidence!"

The players of the German team hugged each other sweatingly, slapped and high-fived each other with smiles, celebrating their great victory that sent them to the final.

And the players of the French team were miserable.

Someone wanted to go back to the team locker room directly, but was stopped by Deschamps and Matuidi.

Even in the face of wild boos from their own fans, they still bit the bullet and finished the thank you to the fans.

After the thank-you session was over, Loew, who was celebrating with the coaching staff, also came over and gave his confidant a big hug:

"Good job, show up early in the next game! After playing the next game, I can give you a long vacation!"

After the hug, Loew generously patted the tired-looking Zhao Jinge's arm, and smiled and drew a long holiday cake for Zhao Jinge.

"Coach, don't look at me and draw big cakes for me every day at a young age, okay? After the next game, the European Cup will be completely over, okay?"

Zhao Jinge rolled his eyes, but Loew showed no sign of blushing, and said:

"So just because it's about to end, you have to play well!"

Then he turned around and walked back to the dressing room with Zhao Jinge in his arms.

Just when the players of the two teams finished their thanks and were about to return to the locker room, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time were already on the verge of boiling.

A wave of interviews was conducted around the players on both sides of the field. When the players finished washing and left the field, they had to face the densely packed microphones in the mixed interview area.

Compared with the somewhat relaxed emotional expressions of the German players off the field, Loew saved enough face for the host at the post-match press conference.

The tricky questions were all skipped, and I have said many times that I can win the French team today, mainly because of luck.

After all, although the French team played very aggrieved on the scene today, Griezmann's shots were still threatening.

"We have to admit that luck is a big part of the pitch and if Griezmann had been a little bit luckier with a couple of shots, we might not have achieved what we did at the Velodrome.

They were a little bit unlucky, that's true, and of course there were obvious weaknesses in their roster, which is why we were able to win as we wanted. "

"In fact, facing the hosts in the semi-finals of the European Cup, and it is also an extremely strong host like the French team, before this game, both the German team and I are under tremendous pressure!
If we hadn't won this game, then the start of my coaching career after Germany's World Cup win would have been a failure.

I was relieved to be sure of the fantastic win, but when I calmed down, the joy dissipated.

Because after today's victory, there is still a strong opponent in the European Cup final waiting for us.

So we still have the most important stretch to go, it's not like five 10 minutes away, you might keep a little bit of it.

It's 95 minutes, and a lot can happen during that time.

Football is round. Although the German team has entered the final, we still have not won the European Cup. This is only the final!

The final result may still be a bitter ending, just like in [-], although we entered the final, we still fell in front of the Spaniards.

So we still have to be more cautious, everything can happen before we are sure to win the championship! "

Loew was very humble and cautious in the interview after the game, after all, he was at the home court of the French team.

If you lose, you may have to complain a few words; if you are comfortable now, you should stop attracting hatred after playing the game.

After all, the final will be played at the home court of the French national team. If the French make a little trip, it may be hard to say.

After Loew finished a set of Tai Chi, he took the bus with his disciples and went straight to the hotel where he stayed.

After closing the door, the German team can naturally be as high as they want, and of course it is only tonight.

I spent a happy night in the luxury hotel provided by the organizing committee.

Even though the external public opinion has been boiling up and down, it will not affect the joy of celebrating the victory within the German team.

After a little carnival, I took a solid sleep. It was not until the next afternoon that the German team returned to Paris by bus.

The final of the European Cup will be held in the Stade de France where they once played, and their opponent will be the winner between Belgium and Portugal.

Before the start of another European Cup semi-final between the two teams.

Throughout the world of football, fans have sparked big discussions one after another because of the performance of the German team's strong four-to-one victory over the French team.
