Chapter 664 Early Finals
Kazan.
The eyes of the whole world gather here, whether they are fans or not.
As one of the three major events, the World Cup has the strongest ratings and ability to attract money.
The semi-final between France and Germany is known as the final staged in advance. 90% of people think that whoever reaches the final must be the champion.
The German team will be more confident, because the Chinese team has never defeated the German team in history, whether it is in a friendly match or in the World Cup.
Even Li Guo couldn't steal the limelight this time, and everyone's eyes were on Loew and Deschamps.
The two teams played against each other in the European Cup two years ago, and the French team was better that time, but the situation is different now, because within two years, the strength of both sides has been strengthened, French football talents have emerged in large numbers, and the same is true for the German team.
Loew said that the German team will definitely enter the World Cup.
Deschamps is much more modest. "The encounter between France and Germany in the World Cup must be a classic. I think it will be the same this time. Germany is a difficult opponent."
Griezmann.
Before the World Cup, he had just transferred to Manchester United at a sky-high price of 2000 million euros. In this World Cup, Griezmann has also scored 6 goals.
In an interview with the French "L'Equipe" before the game, Griezmann said modestly that his teammates' passes were too accurate.
"Why did you choose Manchester United? Is it because there are more money?"
Griezmann smiled slightly: "Now I only have the World Cup in my eyes, and I will not answer this question."
"We lost the Euros at home two years ago."
"I know what you want to ask, but I won't say that we have to win the World Cup. I really want to, but football games are not guaranteed. If the French team does not win the World Cup, then life has to go on."
The reporter nodded.
"Who do you think is more like Henry, Martial or Mbappe?"
Griezmann laughed. This is a hot topic in the media recently. It seems that as long as Monaco has cultivated a good forward in recent years, it will definitely be compared with Henry.
"I think they're both strong and have their own style."
"Are you afraid of offending someone?"
"No, I have a good relationship with them, but I really don't know, what do you think?"
The reporter didn't expect Griezmann to take the lead in turn. He was stunned for a moment, and then the two laughed at the same time.
*****
If the core of the French team is Griezmann and Pogba, then the core of the German team is Neuer.
Maybe some people are not convinced, thinking that the German team has a lot of talents, don't they like Boateng and Hummels?
But in Loew's mind, it is Neuer who has the leadership qualities in the German team.
Before the semifinals, a reporter from Bild interviewed Neuer.
"Manuel, someone compares you to Kahn back then, what do you think?"
Neuer smiled shyly, "We have many similarities, for example, we both play for Bayern Munich, but we also have many differences, for example, I prefer to attack, of course, I have won the World Cup."
When talking about the last point, Neuer's pride was beyond words, which is also very normal, after all, it is the World Cup.
"Manuel, I know that defending the World Cup is very difficult. Only in the 90s did a team do it. In today's football where the game is getting faster and faster, defending the World Cup seems impossible."
"Yes, I agree with what you said, so I hope that the German team can do it, of course it will be difficult, especially in the semi-final against a strong French team."
"Let's talk about our advantages. The closed training of the German team is very tight recently, and we haven't photographed the German team training for a long time."
Neuer chuckled, "I'm sorry, the German team still hopes to maintain a quiet environment before the key game."
"I can understand."
Neuer continued: "If we talk about the advantage of the German team? Then I think it must be unity. We have always been a united whole. This is our greatest advantage."
The last question from the "Bild" reporter, "I never thought that there would be a big score in the semi-finals."
This time Neuer laughed even more. The reporter's hint was of course the semi-finals four years ago, which was also the tragedy in Brazil.
"I don't think it's possible this time, after all France is not Brazil."
I don't know how the Brazilians felt when they heard this sentence, whether they would beat their chests and feet. In addition, the Brazilian team was eliminated early in the quarter-finals this time.
*****
During the Franco-German war, many important people came to the scene. The Russian president who had a crush on Li Guo also came. It is said that he is a fan of Neuer. As early as when Neuer was still in Schalke 04, this man hoped that a Russian club could introduce Neuer.
In addition, some big names from FIFA also came, as if everyone had reached a tacit understanding, this is the final.
Of course, Li Guo also knows what everyone is thinking, so he can only speak from the final result.
The game was very stalemate. The two sides were too fussy about the result of the game. They didn't play a pleasing offense. There were a little more fouls and rough ball grabbing.
The first half ended 0-0.
In the second half, both sides changed players, but the scene did not change. Both sides were still defending with [-] points and attacking with [-] points, and there were few players involved.
Just at the 80th minute of the game, the French team made another substitution, Deschamps replaced Mbappe.
The 19-year-old Mbappe was born under the name of the new Henry. He is now the most popular star in European football. He replaced Payet.
In the 88th minute of the game, when everyone thought that another overtime was inevitable, Mbappe suddenly started in front of the penalty area and passed Boateng with exactly the same dribble (commonly known as criminal dribble) that Messi did in the Champions League. Facing Neuer, Mbappe pushed the far corner.
After completing the shooting action, Mbappe kept staring at the football until the football rolled into the German team's goal, and Mbappe remembered-as if it should be celebrated.
But his teammates didn't give him a chance to celebrate. Griezmann and Pogba had already grabbed him, kneading and kneading.
Loew's heart sank. It seems that in today's football world, it is too difficult to defend the World Cup. The final score was 1-0. The powerful French team defeated the German team and reached the final of the World Cup in Russia.
The opponent of the Chinese team in the final was the Gaul Rooster France.
After the game, Li Guo refused the invitation of the big shot, and took Chen An straight away to leave the stadium. In the dark, a luxury car left Kazan, and only a few people knew his next stop - Moscow!
