Chapter 479
After the match against Brazil, Germany received death threats!
For safety reasons, the German team moved to the final city of Rio de Janeiro under strict security conditions, and even the German military contingent overseas was dispatched.
A World Cup semi-final resulted in death threats for the entire team, and Germany made history.
What could have been a short day of beach and sun was forced for the German team to stay in the hotel for vacation because of death threats.
The German team should eat, sleep, train, and the players were not affected by death threats, but by the approaching final.
In its history, Germany has reached the World Cup final 7 times, winning 3 World Cups and 4 runners-up.
It has been 24 years since the most recent triumph, the 1990 World Cup, and no player in the German squad has won the 1990 World Cup.
Interestingly, West Germany won the championship in 1990 against Argentina, and Germany played Argentina in the final this time.
Argentina have reached four World Cup finals in their history, twice winning and finishing runners-up twice, most recently in 1986 against Germany.
Considering the needs of Europeans, the World Cup final was scheduled for early matches
, but the weather in Rio de Janeiro was not too hot this season, and the goals of both sides were not within the sun range when the kick-off was taken.
The 80,000-strong Stadium Maracana has long been packed, and in addition to football celebrities, the dignitaries of both sides of the final are also in the stands.
Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu came to the commentary table in the stands early, and not far from him was He Wei of Channel Five.
Just before the match was about to begin, the starting lists of both sides were played on the broadcast screen.
Zhan Jun looked at the broadcast screen and read the starting list of the German team, Germany won the home game, they can wear their traditional white shirt, Argentina can only wear their blue away shirt.
"The goalkeeper is still Neuer, and the substitute goalkeepers Weidenfeller and Ziller seem to be out of play in this World Cup." Zhan Jun said.
"The goalkeeper position will not be changed easily, which is no way, Weidenfeller and Ziller play a lot of role in training, according to the media, the German team practiced penalties during training, probably in preparation for the penalty shootout." Zhang Lu echoed.
'The four defenders are Lahm, Boateng, Hummels and Hurvedes, and since Lahm returned to full-back, the German backline has looked more reassuring, with Loew following the same formation as in the previous game, putting Lumm at left-back.
"Ram was originally a full-back, Pep Guardiola came to Bayern to transform him into a back, although there are many Bayern players in this German team, after all, the style of play is different from Bayern, and Rum does not seem to work well in the back position."
"The four midfielders are Schweinsteiger, Muller, Ergou and Kroos, and the two young players of Müller and Kroos have played this World Cup, and Bayern have become big winners!"
'I heard that Kroos would be joining Real Madrid this summer, and when I asked Mueller if he had considered a transfer, he said he was a family lover, Bayern are the best team in the world and have no plans to transfer.
"Well, a talented player like Mueller has almost no transfer scandals, which is unique in today's football!" Zhang Lu echoed.
"Germany's players in today's forward line are still two killing gods, Klose and Jiang Ge!"
After reading the starting list, Zhan Jun turned his head and asked: "Director Zhang, what do you think of the German team's starters?" "
As predicted by the media, I heard that Khedira did not start due to a cold, he played very well in the last semi-final against Brazil, at least four goals were directly related to him, and his absence may affect the tandem of the German midfield."
"Well, let's look at Argentina's starting 11 roster:
goalkeeper Romero, semi-finals, Argentina and the Netherlands played a penalty shootout, Romero saved two penalties, Argentina's fifth penalty player did not have a chance to play, the team won!"
"Hehe, Romero was also a god in the last game, and the success rate of the pounce point was 50%, which is also too exaggerated!"
"The four defenders are Rojo, Demichelis, Garay and Zabaleta, with the marshal at the back.
"The three midfield players are Biglia, Mascherano and Enzo Pérez, Pony Junior came to the midfield this time, Angel Di Maria strained his thigh in the game, this game can only sit on the bench, I wonder if he will play later?"
"Di Maria's absence has really had a big impact on Argentina, he is an important contributor to Real Madrid's victory this season, and the players are helpless to be unable to play in the World Cup final."
"The three in front are Messi, Higuain and Ravic, these three need not be introduced too much, they are all hot strikers in football today!"
"Coach Zhang, what do you think of Argentina's starting lineup?" Zhan Jun asked.
"Hehe..." Zhang Lu smiled before replying: "How to say, in the words of netizens, super first-class risk, second-rate midfield, third-rate backline." "
Haha... Argentina's midfielders are criticized because their strikers are too luxurious, and in comparison, the reputation of the midfielders is really not good,
but! Since entering the knockout stages of this World Cup, Argentina have never conceded a goal in regular time! This cannot even be done in Germany! "
Ah! It's true, don't look at Argentina's midfielders are not very famous, their defense is really good! During
the two's casual chat, players from both sides entered, the audience applauded thunderously, and fans in neighboring Argentina appeared to be the majority.
Before the start of the game, Zhan Jun, who is good at statistics, turned over the previous data
of the two teams and said: "This is the third meeting between the two teams
in the World Cup final, and in the 1986 World Cup final in Mexico, Maradona's Argentina team narrowly defeated the Federal Republic of Germany 3:2 to win the championship!"
Four years later, in the 1990 World Cup, the German troika came into battle, Maradona was alone, lost the championship, and the polo king cried.
"Well, yes, these two teams won a World Cup title in the first two matches, which is also a tie in this dimension."
Amid the heaven-shaking cheers of the Maracana Stadium, the match officially began.
Before the start of the game, the king system distributed tasks:
lead the German team to win the championship, reward the king with 5 million experience points, upgrade any stunt to SSS level, and give away 5 spirit item cards.
Jiang Ge found that the Ball King System now regards itself as the team leader, and every time it distributes tasks, it is required to lead the team to win, and the Ball King System 2.0 may be coming soon.
