Chapter 451
Three days later, the match between Germany and Ghana was played as scheduled at the New Water Source Stadium.
The organizers learned the lessons of the last time and strictly controlled them, so that there were not so many standing tickets on the court.
Ghana did not pay much attention, with only 3,768 fans following the team on their expedition to Brazil
, and the German team had many fans, and the new water source stadium was still full.
It is said that scalpers have multiplied several times, and it is still difficult to find a ticket, and
more than 20,000 fans are watching the big screen outside the stadium, blocking the outside of the stadium.
Because Ghana has so few fans, almost all of them are German fans dressed in white, including many eastern faces.
Ghana, who lost 2-1 in their first match against the United States, currently have 0 points and only a few more than bottom-placed Portugal in terms of goal difference.
If Ghana wants to qualify, it must score points on the German team, 3 points is not too much, 1 point is not too little.
At the end of the first round, Germany had only a few more goals than the United States, and their goal for this game was of course to take all three points.
Loew gave a death order before the game and must take all 3 points!
Ghana is clearly the weakest in terms of the paper strength of the four teams in this group, and Germany cannot easily pass up the opportunity to score points.
As Loew said on the beach, the German midfield is full of young players.
Goalkeeper: Neuer;
Defenders: Mertesack, Boateng, Hummels, Hodders;
Back: Ram, Schweinsteiger;
Midfielders: Schurrle, Kroos, Müller;
Forward: Jiang Ge.
The formation was still 4-2-3-1, with two personnel changes compared to the previous starting line-up, with Piggy replacing Khedira and Schurrle replacing Gotze.
Ghana still used the starting line-up against the United States, and in the words of the manager, lost last game because luck was not on their side.
Ghana's starting 11 are
: goalkeeper: Adams;
Defenders: Inkum, Sumaila, Mensa, Afort;
Midfielders: Essien, Asamoa, Boateng the Great, Montari;
Forwards: Gian, Rabiu.
The elder Boateng of the Ghanaian squad is the older brother of Boateng in the German squad, the brothers have dual Ghanaian and German citizenship, the older brother chose to play for the Ghana national team, and the younger brother chose to play for the German national team.
The names of the players in the Ghana squad may sound strange, but their midfield players are not weak at all.
On the front line, there is Gian, who shone in the last World Cup, and Asamoa, a small striker who attacked the city for Juventus;
The midfield is effective against Chelsea's Essien, and AC Milan's desperate San Antari Montari.
These players are slightly less star-studded than the stars in the German squad, and they have earned their place in their respective clubs with their outstanding physicality, fierce style and tenacious spirit.
The lack of fame does not mean that the strength is not good, and there is no absolute weak team that can reach the World Cup finals.
In the original world, Jiang Ge watched this game
, the tenacious Ghana team played the bloody nature of African football, forced a 2-2 draw with the powerful German team, and was praised by fans as the light of Africa.
However, the development trajectory of this parallel world may be different from Jiang Ge's original world, and it is unknown whether Germany will get 1 or 3 points, or 0 points?
After the pre-match group photo, Germany captain Ram and Ghana captain Gian picked sides in the presence of the referee.
Germany kicked off first, Kroos kicked the ball to Schweinsteiger behind
, Piglet continued to pass back, pushed the ball to centre-back Hummels, and the two players scattered.
In this game, Jiang Ge still plays as a single striker, and the defenders around him are generally not tall, but they are very flexible in running, and the legendary black and hard.
Hummels was already standing outside the line of the penalty area, watching the retreating Ram send a low pass, Lum
did not rush to turn forward and push the ball to full-back Hoders....
Germany controlled the ball at the back, and as many as five Ghanaian players pressed into the German half, seemingly pressing high.
"It can be seen that the attitude of the Ghanaian team in this game is very positive!" Zhan Jun sighed.
"That's right, Ghanaian captain Gian said at the pre-match press conference that the team's loss to the United States was just an accident, and he believes that the team will definitely be able to qualify!"
"The implication is to take points from the German team? In the three games of the group, three points can hardly be reached.
"That's what it means, Ghana is called the Light of Africa, their results in the qualifiers are very good, don't look at the fame, but the strength is good, typical black and hard!"
On the pitch, the German players can clearly feel that the Ghanaian team puts no less pressure on themselves than the Portuguese team.
In the 7th minute, Ghanaian midfielder Montari got rid of the entanglement of the piglet Schweinsteiger and sent an oblique long
pass to the right, this pass is absolutely world-class, spanning the distance of forty or fifty meters across the entire German midfield, accurately find the right wing of Rabiu
, Rabiu turned his head to look at the direction of the ball, raised his right foot slightly to easily unload this long pass
, not to mention, just this pass and this unloading, is absolutely the world's top!
Before German full-back Hoders approached, Rabiu swept the ball into the German team's big penalty area with a low pass
, and as many as three Ghanaian players squeezed into the German team's big penalty area, this pass accurately found striker
Gian, Gian was stuck by tall central defender Hummels could not fully turn, the moment he touched the ball, he directly half-turned and
shot, Rabiu's pass was very strong, Gian's shot was also very sudden
Between this electric flint, Ji'an failed to grasp the footwork and fired an anti-aircraft gun.
This is Ghana's first shot on goal, Germany has not even had a chance to shoot at this point, and single striker Jiang Ge has not yet touched the ball.
It may be human nature to sympathize with the weak, and so are fans, especially neutral fans, who would like to see the African Lions overturn German chariots, and
Ghana's attack was warmly applauded by fans.
In the first ten minutes, the pace of offensive and defensive conversion between the two sides on the court was very fast
, in the blink of an eye, the German team's attack arrived
, and the piglet who took the rest of the last game was very positive in this game, with the ball continuously getting rid
of the front of the big penalty area line of the Ghana team before pushing the ball to the right Mueller, Erwa was not in a hurry, took the ball to the direction of the bottom line, and before the opposing player blocked it, an inverted triangle low pass into the big penalty area
The ball streaked behind Jiang Ge, rolled towards central defender Boateng
, rare opportunity to shoot, Boateng raised his leg is a kick
, the new water source stadium heard a dull sound, the ball whistled and flew to the goal of Ghana
, goalkeeper Adams reacted extremely quickly, rushed to the left, the ball happened to be blocked by his hands, fell back into the big penalty area
, Schurrle and the opposing central defender Sumaila squeezed twice to successfully grab the ball, but, The line of passing or shooting forward was completely blocked, he turned and pushed the ball to Kroos behind
, facing the pressing of Big Boateng, Beets lightly dunked a kick, took a step to the right
, and picked up the ball, Kroos was very sober at this time, the height disadvantage of the back line was the short board of this Ghana
team, the ball was picked up and landed in front of the Ghanaian team's small penalty area,
Ghanaian goalkeeper Adams rushed out with a fist
Mueller just jumped, saw the goalkeeper fierce, unconsciously turned his back
, Adams rushed out and just hit Mueller, but the ball fell on the head of Jiang Ge next to them, Jiang Ge jumped out of
the crowd, although he was not the tallest in this group.
The goalkeeper has lost position and has a long time in the air, and Jiang Ge easily shoots into the far corner of the goal.
"Goooooooal..." The ball went in! Jiang Ge scored his first header of this World Cup!
