There is little suspense about the results of the quarter-finals. The winning teams are Brazil, Colombia, Netherlands, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Argentina and Belgium.

After another two days of offseason, these eight teams also began to compete for the remaining top four spots.

In the first match between France and Germany on July 4, Germany won 1-0 thanks to Hummels' goal in the 13th minute.

Another match of the day was Brazil against Colombia. Silva and Luis laid the foundation for a two-goal lead for the host country. Although Rodriguez pulled a goal back for Colombia in the 80th minute, Brazil still won 2-2.

1 defeated the opponent.

The first game on July 5th was Argentina against Belgium, and Argentina won the game 1-0 with Higuain's goal in the 8th minute.

The last game of the day was between the Netherlands and Costa Rica. After 120 minutes of fierce battle, the two teams failed to achieve any results. In the end, the Netherlands won the last promotion place through a penalty shootout.

On July 8, Li Zhao and Xu Genbao took the young players again to the Mineirao Arena in Belo Horizonte to watch the match between Germany and Brazil.

The game starts at 6 pm, and another game between Argentina and the Netherlands also starts at the Sao Paulo Arena at the same time.

Although the two games are also a collision between South America and Europe, the game between Germany and Brazil is obviously more representative. This is the main reason why they chose to go to Belo Horizonte instead of watching the game at home.

"This game will definitely be the annual drama of Mars hitting the Earth, but I believe that Germany will not be Brazil's opponent." Zhang Yuning expressed his prediction before the game started.

"Yes, I am also optimistic about the Brazilian team. But the German team is indeed very good. They often perform big-scoring massacres when they play against teams that are weaker than themselves, so Brazil will not be easy in this game, and it is very likely that it will end in the end.

That is a narrow victory." Although Harik and Zhang Yuning are in a competitive relationship within the team, they are both supporters of the Brazilian team, so their views are surprisingly consistent. Even if their favorite teams may have some problems, they still have some problems.

It's easy to be ignored by the fans' fanatical confidence.

"I don't think so. It's hard to say clearly who will win in this game. I even think Brazil may lose." Dyna expressed a different opinion. He paid more attention to defense. Kahn of the German team was the one he wanted to surpass, so

Correspondingly, he is more optimistic about the German team.

This naturally made both Zhang Yuning and Harik unhappy, so they began to fight with each other. There were also many young players in the team who liked the two teams, and they were gradually attracted by the arguments between them, becoming two distinct factions.

.

"Okay, we haven't even started fighting yet, and you're starting to fight each other. I don't care which team you support, but I don't think it's allowed to affect the unity and harmony within the team." Xu Genbao looked at his family and expressed doubts.

As the arguments continued, they had to be suppressed.

"Watch the football carefully. If anyone keeps going too far, I will disqualify him from watching the football live." Li Zhao also came out to mediate and said, no one here really dares not to give him face.

Seeing Li Zhao and Xu Genbao's joint attack, these people did not dare to discuss anything more, and they all turned back to being good boys.

This also made Li Zhao secretly sigh at the madness of football. It can not only make two strangers become friends because of a common support object, but also cause friends to have differences because of their different positions. If it is not handled well, it will also lead to conflicts.

Unknowingly causing a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Looking back, Li Zhao pulled Xu Genbao to a corner and said, "I guess Mr. Xu has his own opinions even though he doesn't want to say it. Can you tell me what you think?"

"That's right, I also want to hear your opinion." Xu Genbao said.

"Then let me say it first, this Brazilian team is obviously not a match for the German team, and Neymar's injury absence and Silva's suspension will make the Brazilian team lose even more completely, and I feel this will be a big game.

The score was defeated." Li Zhaoxian expressed his opinion. Although he usually supports the Brazilian team, he will be more objective.

"It shouldn't be. Although I admit this, it is the Brazilian team after all. Even if it loses, it won't be too outrageous!" Xu Genbao said.

"Actually, I'm not too sure, but who can say for sure? It's better to wait and see!" Li Zhao said. In fact, Xiaomi calculated this result many times using simulated data and finally came to the conclusion.

his.

The game started with their discussion, and as the game progressed, the process was shocking and subverted many people's perceptions.

At the beginning, the Brazilian team still took the initiative. They had a fast pace and their ball possession rate was as high as 60%, forming a siege against Germany.

However, Germany performed a rare rapid transition between offense and defense without panicking at all. They made full use of the width of the field to make a fuss from the wings. On the one hand, they could contain Brazil's two gates, which are good at assists, and on the other hand, they avoided too much in the middle.

Tangled with the Brazilian double midfielder.

After discovering that Fernandinho's performance was seriously abnormal, the Germans with a keen sense of smell immediately began to put pressure in the middle.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Muller opened the scoring with a volley from a corner kick. Then Germany took advantage of the space behind Brazil after a massive attack and set off a wave of devastating offensive frenzy. The Brazilian team was completely stunned and was defeated by the opponent within 7 minutes.

He scored 4 goals in a row, which made the game lose suspense early. The main center Miroslav Klose even scored his 16th goal in the World Cup with this game, breaking Ronaldo's World Cup scoring record in one fell swoop.

In the second half, Schurrle, who came on as a substitute, scored two more goals in the 69th and 79th minutes of the game. The Brazilian team did not get a goal back from Oscar until the last stage of the game, but it was more like a consolation.

In the end, the German team slaughtered the host Brazil team 7-1, creating a classic tragedy in the history of the World Cup.

After this game, all the Brazilian fans in the stands cried collectively, and even more radical fans burned the national flag angrily. Li Zhao saw with his own eyes a little Brazilian boy not far from him crying very sadly, but he didn't

Know how to comfort.

In the VIP stand on one side, Ronaldo, who was once called the "alien", was looking at the field below in a daze, but his eyes were full of confusion. He didn't know why the once five-star Brazil had fallen to this. And this

One day later became a national tragedy for Brazilians.

"It's so cruel. They have won so much and they still haven't stopped!" Zhang Yuning couldn't help but feel sorry for the Brazilian team.

"This is the German tank. Attack is their tradition. Have you ever seen them show mercy to their opponents?" Dyna seemed to understand these things very well.

On the other side, Li Zhao and Xu Genbao were also communicating about the results of this game.

"The main reason why the Brazilian team lost so miserably in this game was that they conceded the ball too quickly in the first half, and from the second goal they conceded, they failed to adjust, resulting in a series of

Lost the ball. In the end, the mentality completely collapsed, and there was really no hope.

In addition, the Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho in this game was also one of the problems in their loss. His role in the midfield was useless. The tactical mistakes after missing the two core players were

The root cause of all this." Xu Genbao first expressed his opinion.

"In fact, Scolari relied too much on Neymar, which led to the failure to find an ideal replacement candidate and plan after his injury. But even if Neymar can play in this game, it is estimated that it will not fundamentally change the problem.

Now that I think about it, it's not entirely a bad thing that I'm not in the national team. At least it will allow Ziyi and the others to grow more independently and have more plans." Li Zhao also had his own analysis.

At this time, the result of another game also came out. Argentina and the Netherlands won the final penalty shootout after 120 minutes.

After learning the news, Xu Genbao said with emotion: "With the state of the German team today, I have a hunch that they may become the final winner. Argentina may be lucky, but they are still not Germany's opponent, and from the main

In terms of coaching, Loew is also much more experienced."

The World Cup final on July 13 verified his statement. Although the two teams played hard, Argentina's good luck came to an end. At the end of the second half of overtime, substitute Gotze scored.

The winning goal helped the German team win the Hercules Cup for the fourth time.

During the final award ceremony, Li Zhao also noticed a small detail. Messi, who won the Ballon d'Or, stood beside a group of German team players and accepted his personal trophy with a gloomy face. He couldn't help but feel that this

The scene is very similar to what I experienced during the U17 World Youth Championship last year.
