Judging from the points form of Group F, South Korea has lived up to the expectations of Cannavaro, who personally drew them into the death group F. They have already returned home early after losing both games.
Both Germany and Sweden have great hopes of advancing, because no matter in terms of points, goal difference or total goals, the data of both sides is exactly the same, and there is no distinction between advantages and disadvantages.
However, just when everyone thought that Germany would easily defeat the South Korean team, Germany's good situation was ruined by Loew himself.
In this game, German coach Loew did not use the radical 2134 and 1144 revolutionary impact formations in the previous two games, but returned to Germany's traditional steady and steady tactics.
They only invested 3-4 people in the frontcourt attack, and the crazy move of pressing forward across the board to attack the opponent's defense in the first two games was completely gone.
However, due to the lack of an outstanding successor to Klose in the middle and a bit of luck, they were unable to break the Korean team's goal within 90 minutes of regular time. Instead, Korean Internet celebrity goalkeeper Cho Hyun-you succeeded.
This also caused South Korea to seize the opportunity when Germany pressed for victory in the final period of the game. In the 93rd and 96th minutes, Kim Young-kwon and Son Heung-min scored twice in a row, which directly killed the suspense of the game and left the South Korean team sitting
On the Germanic chariot, pull Germany along and drive back to your hometown!
This game was not only an accident, it was also an accident. Korean fans never dreamed that they could win against Germany. This shocking upset was completely unacceptable to a large number of German fans around the world.
A large number of local German fans and the media frantically attacked German players and head coach Loew.
"Kicker": This is a humiliating defeat! Loew created a new series of German football history!
The German men's football team exited the World Cup group stage for the first time;
Germany’s men’s football team exits bottom of its World Cup group for the first time;
Germany's men's football team loses to Mexico for first World Cup;
The German men's football team lost to an Asian team for the first time in the World Cup;
The German men's football team was eliminated by an Asian team for the first time;
The German men's football team lost a clean sheet to an Asian team for the first time;
...and so on for the first time.
The wording of "Sports Bild", which is also an authoritative German media, is much friendlier.
They call Ozil, who has been suspected of racial discrimination, a "fourth-type attacking midfielder". As long as Ozil is on the court, the team must be related to fourth place. It will either compete for the fourth championship, or be ranked fourth in the league, or be at the bottom of the group.
Four.
In addition to Ozil, who is competing for the four attacking midfielders, Toni Kroos also did not escape.
Regarding Kroos, "Sports Bild" described it this way: "Tony, he has a top-notch footwork that surprises God by backpassing to instigate offense, whether it is his own goal or the opponent's goal!"
As for Loew, he was directly transformed by the excited German fans into a German farmer wearing a straw hat, sitting in front of mountains of potatoes and sausages. On the pile of potatoes in front of him was a wooden sign that read "We want
Back home, Authentic German Sausage and Potatoes Sale!”
"Süddeutsche Zeitung" did not miss this feast of criticism. They left this sentence on their official INS, 'At least until the potatoes and sausages are sold out, Loew does not have to worry about his next job!'
The result of this game was a life saver for Mexico, which also suffered a 0-3 defeat against Sweden.
After learning that the team had advanced, the Mexican team directly updated their official Instagram with a message: 'Tonight, we are all Koreans!'
In short, after the game, Mexico went completely crazy. Countless Mexican fans poured into the streets and raised their heads in celebration when they encountered Asian faces.
Beyond that, there are signs of a little bit of madness in all walks of life in Mexico.
For example, Aeromexico announced that all flights from Mexico to South Korea will be discounted by 40%.
For example, when Koreans go shopping in Mexico, they get 30% off everything.
The crazy Mexican fans finally surrounded the Korean Embassy in Mexico and sincerely invited the Korean Ambassador to come out and drink beer together.
In addition, there is Sweden, who are also very happy.
The only one who is unhappy may be the Brazilian team, which ranks first in Group E!
In this World Cup, it can be said that the whole Brazilian team is holding back their energy to prepare for the World Cup in Brazil four years ago. They suffered a humiliating 7:1 defeat by Germany at home. However, they never expected that Germany did not give them this
Opportunity for revenge.
At this moment, the mentality of the Brazilian players is depressed, just like a group of Brazilians sharpening their knives and preparing to kill a pig. However, the knives were sharpened, the water was boiled, the barbecue grill was set up, and the sauce was mixed.
, but the pig ran away. Are you depressed?
For Italian fans, even if they don't like South Korea, they have to admit that South Korea played the best game in their history. This time they did not rely on referees, but won on strength, but this still cannot eliminate the Italians.
Hatred of Koreans.
Lippi did not organize players to watch this game. When he learned before the game that Loew had changed his tactics again, he had a vague feeling that the German who loved to pick his nose and crotch was going to experience a disastrous defeat.
In Lippi's eyes, the current Germany and the Germany four years ago are completely different teams.
In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Germany mainly relied on two tactics to win the Hercules Cup. One was to break through the bottom line from the wing or pass the high ball to find Klose.
The other is to use pass and cut coordination in the two rib areas on both sides of the top of the arc to penetrate the opponent's defense, but this ground attack is only an auxiliary.
The most important skill of the German team is still the cross attack from the right.
The advantage of the German team that year was its strong impact, but this strong impact was based on strong attacks from high points in the middle.
This kind of high-point attack requires a world-class center, who must have strong header ability and personal ability.
And in 2014, they had that kind of player.
Klose! World-class center!
But in this year's World Cup in Russia, they lost Klose, and they failed to find an outstanding successor to Klose.
In Loew's first and second games against Mexico and Sweden in the group, the new formations they adopted, the extreme 2134 and 1144 formations, were an attempt to change the tactical flaws after losing Klose.
It's a pity that Loew didn't succeed!
From those two games, Loew twice changed back to Germany's tactics from the last World Cup. Lippi could see Loew's hesitation and struggle.
Through this game, Lippi also had some changes in his previously firm tactical thinking.
Previously, he originally wanted to risk his life against Croatia, but now he is wondering whether he should continue to seek some new changes in defensive counterattacks to deal with Croatia's tactical targets.
Although the World Cup requires a set of simple and efficient tactics, if there is a lack of changes, it is also an act of seeking death.
