For the English media and fans, there is nothing more exciting than England's performance. England's 'tragic' performance in the international arena is the heart disease of many England fans. Now that England has defeated Italy, it is considered The results are quite good.
Recalling the group stage, including the quarter-finals, England continued to win 4 consecutive games. Among the four opponents, except for Ukraine, which was the host, which was slightly weaker, the other three teams, France, Sweden and Italy, were all strong enemies of England. England all won in 90 minutes.

After the game, almost all the English media praised the England team, and every player was praised. Even Alfred, who played a few minutes as a substitute, was praised for saying, "A few minutes of playing time guarantees the team's defense. Stable", not to mention other players, the most praised are the core players, such as Maurice, Rooney and Ashley Young. In the game with Italy, the performance of the three is the best, Among them, Morris and Rooney each scored a goal, Ashley Young did not score, but the role played in the attack cannot be ignored. In the backcourt defense, Terry and Lescott performed quite steadily. The combination is even called by some media as 'the world's first central defender combination'.
Seeing this news, it feels like England has conquered the world... except that England have just reached the semi-finals.
"This is just the beginning!"
Wansheng said to all the players, "Everyone's performance is very good, but it's just the beginning, defeating Italy is in my plan, it's no big deal, then we have to face more difficult games, Germany, I don't think I need to introduce more, You should all know how tough this team is!"
The German team is a traditional strong team in the world, and its performance is known for its stable performance. As "French Football" said, "This is a team that has written countless glorious histories. This is a team that is steadily moving forward in heritage and change!"
Germany's football history is extremely glorious, and since entering the new century, the German team has always been very strong. In the 2002 World Cup, Germany reached the final under the condition of not being optimistic, but lost to Brazil 0-2, regrettably lost the championship trophy .
In the 2006 World Cup, the German team as the host played a long-lost offensive football and won the third place. The "Summer Fairy Tale" conquered countless fans around the world.
In the 2008 European Cup of Nations, Germany easily defeated Portugal and the dark horse Turkey to enter the final, but unfortunately in the final, they lost to Spain 0:1 and came in second.
In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Germany beat its rivals England and Argentina to the top 4 with record-breaking scores in a row, but lost to Spain again in the semi-finals 0-1, and defeated Uruguay 3-2 in the final third-place final. , won the World Cup third place.
Last year, the German team has been developed and improved. After absorbing a number of young and talented players, the average age of the team is the youngest in history. It has an excellent record throughout the year, and elegant and fast offensive football brings fans to the game. It is pleasing to the eyes and has been highly praised by industry peers.
The German team was also named the National Team of the Year for the 12th time by "France Football".
In this European Cup, Germany is one of the most promising teams. The only thing that can be compared with them is Spain, which has won the European Cup and the World Cup.
In the past three group matches and the quarter-finals, the German team has won all of them steadily, and there is no suspense during the game. Their performance is not worse than the England team.
This makes the media more optimistic about the German team.
Just like the German legend Klinsmann, who is also the former German team coach, said about the match between England and Germany, "If England's lineup and strength are used, I am afraid no one will believe that they can compete with the current German team. But England's performance after Wan Sheng became manager was surprising, and it seemed to be getting better and better, which was enough to make the young German team wary, but in any case this young team already has the power to dominate international football. "
Klinsmann led the German team to the World Cup in 2006 and resigned after missing the final. In fact, since he was in office, the German team has begun to blow up a storm of youth. In Klinsmann's view, Loew's German team has reached the harvest period. "I hope Germany can dominate the game and win the championship. We are now outstanding in many positions, and all the people in this team are very interesting."
"This is a team that can play memorable games, a German team that deserves a European trophy. We usually have the will to win and the inner strength from the heart to help us meet challenges. I believe they can Victory against any opponent, even a champion team like Spain."
In the 2006 World Cup, Loew led the team as Klinsmann's assistant, so he is very familiar with Loew, who is 5 years older than him: "Loew is a real good friend, we often talk to a few when we work together. Hours of football, talking about football with him is a delightful privilege.” Klinsmann thinks Low’s team is close to perfect: “I told him his team was close to perfect. A lot of times, he also took risks. Improving, so he deserves the credit."
Not only Klinsmann, but almost all Germans are optimistic about winning the European Cup this time. Interestingly, Germany has even begun to prepare for the championship celebration-even if they have to play at most two games, but in the German capital Berlin , a celebration for the championship is already brewing.
Germany's "Bild" reported that the German team has begun to prepare for their final celebration, for the team to win the European Championship crown.
Wolfgang, president of the German Football Association, said: "We have to plan for the best and the worst. There are several options now, but none of them have been determined. We just want to focus on the semi-finals now." According to sources, Germany The Football Association intends to place the celebration in Berlin. Fans will start celebrating next Monday at 2pm, and the celebrations are now ready.
Of course, if Germany loses to England in the semi-final, then all celebrations will be cancelled and the team will return to Frankfurt without a sound.

Back on the England side, before the match against Germany, the German players that Wansheng was asked about the most were Ozil and Klose.
The German team is very good as a whole, and their individual players are also very good. Ozil is the core player of Atletico Madrid. Klose has also played for Atletico Madrid in the past two years. these two players.
Wan Sheng replied with a slight smile, "Mesut (Ozil) is really good. He is the best midfielder in the world. I am very happy to see him perform well in the national team."
"It's the same with Miroslav (Klose), I've had a great time working with him over the past two years, he's the kind of player who's reassuring, and he can still help any team even when he's about to retire. ball."
"At the club, there were many games where I had to rely on their good performances to beat the opponents, and now they are the opponents I have to be wary of. This is professional football and it's interesting."
"But I know them, so I know how to defend."
"I know there's a lot to like about Germany out there, yes, they've been good, they've been great, and I admire the style of the German team, they're a gorgeous and solid team, even a perfect team. We're a little bit worse in comparison, yes, I admit it."
Hearing this, the German media were overjoyed. They felt that the Chinese in front of them were about to 'confess', but then they were disappointed, "...But the winner will be us. I believe that our strong defense will be The biggest obstacle for the German team."
After Wansheng was interviewed, the media soon interviewed German coach Loew.
Facing the England team, Loew said confidently, "To press the England team to our rhythm to play, we have enough strength to win."
When it comes to the situation of the German team, Loew said, "All players can play, including Schweinsteiger." Due to the torn ligament in his right ankle, the injury has not yet healed, and Schwein, who has been the core player of the German team until now Due to Steiger's ups and downs, Loew made it clear, "I'm sure he'll be back in shape before the game against Italy."
But many media don't care about the situation of the German team. Those reports are too many, and they don't make much sense. They hope that Low will say something about England, preferably England coach Wan Sheng, in order to fight back. Wansheng's 'winner's rhetoric'.
This is very hot news with reporting significance.
At the end of the interview, Loew finally talked about the game, "Their level is very high, their defensive ability is very good, as he (Wan Sheng) said, their defense can cause us a lot of trouble."
The German media was a little disappointed.
Loew then said in a targeted manner, "However, I believe that the final winner will be the German team, and myself, I am also looking forward to a contest with Wansheng Real Sword and Real Gun!"
This is a direct provocation.
Two hours later, Wan Sheng was in front of the hotel. Amid the stunned crowd, he picked up the unopened bottle of mineral water in his hand and held it tightly with one hand, only to hear a 'bang', and the water splashed everywhere. Yes, before everyone could react, Wan Sheng raised his fist and said earnestly, "He wants to compete with me? Come on! The time and place are as he chooses! This is a battle between men..."
That night, as soon as the crowd watched on the roadside, the video captured by the mobile phone occupied the first throne of online search in Europe and even China.
