Germany pass Maradona test



Six days after turfing England out of the World Cup with a magical display, Germany cast their spell on Argentina with a brilliant quarter-final performance.

Argentina were buried thanks to a third-minute goal from Thomas Muller and two second-half efforts from Miroslav Klose either side of one from Arne Friedrich. Even Diego Maradona would had appreciated it had he not been in the opposite dug-out. An imperious masterclass from a side on the march.
Games of this magnitude can often be dull, sterile affairs, where two giants cancel each other out completely. This spectacular never had a chance of being that way.
An Argentina team containing Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Carlos Tevez, managed by one of the most creative forces there has ever been, is not exactly set up to defend. Germany's talents are not as well known. But over the past week Joachim Low's team have made some statement.
When Nicolas Otamendi brought Podolski down by the touchline, the start of what turned out to be a tortuous opening period for the young full-back, Bastian Schweinsteiger curled the free-kick to the near post. Muller escaped Otamendi's attentions and rose unchallenged.
The youngster should have sent a firm header into the corner. Instead, he got the faintest touch which deceived Sergio Romero, who must have thought he was going to be beaten anyway. It shot off the Argentina keeper's leg and rolled into the net.
For a good 15 minutes, those famous blue and white shirts were seen twisting and turning in all directions as they tried to keep their opponents at bay.
Klose wasted a golden opportunity to double the advantage when Muller capitalised on Gabriel Heinze's error and squared for the veteran frontman. On his 100th appearance, it should have been his 51st goal. But he rushed the opportunity and side-footed over.
Too young to be considered for Germany's triumphant Under-21 squad at last summer's European Championships, what a year Muller has had. In reaching the Champions League final with Bayern Munich, he had already confirmed himself as one of the best young players in the world.
On successive weekends, both England and Argentina have discovered the 20-year-old is a rich talent as well. Unfortunately, football can be a cruel sport and a harsh booking for handball means the youngster will miss Wednesday's semi-final in Durban.
After being hurt so badly so quickly, Argentina at least managed to clear their heads and began to respond. The problem was Germany's defence was rock solid, their movement choreographed superbly.
Messi tried to sparkle but he was forced further back to gain meaningful possession, and then surrounded instantly to ensure there was no escape.
Another star name destined to leave South Africa without making a significant mark, or scoring a goal, Messi did his best with the scraps that were offered without making the mesmerising burst or defence-splitting pass his team craved.
On the touchline, Maradona stood, knowing the difference between a great player and the absolute best is their ability to produce when the pressure is at its greatest, as he did in 1986. Since then, Germany have gained revenge, both in the 1990 final and the quarter-final four years ago.
In his amusing dismissal of England, German skipper Philipp Lahm said he wanted to win inside 90 minutes, for his country to finally defeat a big team. It was time for his youthful team-mates to announce their arrival.
First, a prone Muller stabbed the ball into space and set Podolski free to present Klose with a tap-in.
Then, pushing forward even though the game was won, Friedrich was on hand to finish from close range after Schweinsteiger had cut through the Argentine defence like a knife through butter.
Klose finished the rout and with another four-star performance, Germany roll into the semi-finals with every chance of lifting the trophy.

Villa saves Spain after penalty drama



David Villa enhanced his reputation as the World Cup's outstanding striker with a late goal to give a below-par Spain a 1-0 win over Paraguay and book a semi-final clash with Germany, in what will be a repeat of the Euro 2008 final.

The 28-year-old struck his fifth goal of the finals to send the perennial underachievers into the last four of the World Cup for the first time.
It was tough on Paraguay who had matched the European champions for much of the game - and though this has been a World Cup of shocks, the needle would have gone off the Richter scale if the South Americans had triumphed.
Spain now face Germany in the semi-finals - not since 1950, where they were part of a four-team final group, have they had such an opportunity to reach the final itself.
Both sides contrived to miss penalties before Villa came up trumps after Andres Iniesta had carved out an opening for Pedro, who hit the post with his new Barcelona team-mate producing the perfect follow up.
Until then, Paraguay coach Gerardo Martino, who made no fewer than six changes from the side that scraped past Japan on penalties, had got his tactics just right. Spain's coach Vicente del Bosque kept faith with the same starting line-up for the third game in a row but familiarity bred contempt for the first hour.
Paraguay could have gone ahead in the very first minute had they taken advantage of an excellent opening. The Spanish defence was split open by Oscar Cardozo who found Jonathan Santana on the edge of the box but his shot was tame and Iker Casillas was not troubled.
Cristian Riveros headed over as Paraguay continued their refusal to be overawed while Xavi, dogged by Cristian Riveros snapping at his heels, had a poor first half.
Spain failed to bring a single save out of Justo Villar in the first 45 minutes - Xavi's spin and volley that dipped just too late their one highlight, while Fernando Torres looked woeful.
After Joan Capdevila's free-kick was blocked, a break by Paraguay saw a stunning cross by Claudio Morel that was just missed by Santana.
Villa, who had looked the liveliest of the off-colour Spaniards, dragged a chance wide before Paraguay were controversially denied the lead.
Nelson Valdez brought down the ball and finished expertly but was flagged offside - replays showed he was just on - and he put his next chance high and wide after turning Carles Puyol inside and out at pace.
After 10 minutes of the second half del Bosque had seen enough and he sent on Cesc Fabregas for Torres and suddenly a drab game exploded into life.
Paraguay were awarded a penalty after Gerard Pique hauled down Cardozo. The Benfica forward dusted himself down and stepped up but Casillas saved low to his left.
Almost immediately referee Carlos Batres from Guatemala awarded a spot-kick at the other end after Villa was felled by Antolin Alcaraz. Xabi Alonso put it away only to be made to re-take it due to encroachment and this time Villar came up trumps - and he then got away with clipping Fabregas who reached the loose ball first.
Iniesta, who had been much subdued, suddenly woke up and brought a terrific save out of Villar with a curling effort, then lofted another effort high over the bar. Fabregas' hustling saw Xavi presented with a shooting chance and he hit it almost too well as it whistled past the post.
With seven minutes left Spain finally produced a goal worthy of their lofty reputation when Iniesta went on a fantastic run and set up Pedro whose shot hit the post, with Villa reacting instinctively to fire it in off the other upright. Now he has 43 goals for his country, only one behind Raul.
It was left to Casillas to rival Villa as Spain's hero with a double save in the dying seconds to keep out Lucas Barrios and Roque Santa Cruz.

satu cerita yang bagus dari kosmo online(6th July)

BERLIN - Jurulatih Jerman, Joachim Loew buat pertama kalinya mendedahkan taktik yang menyebabkan pasukan bola sepaknya mengamalkan pendekatan permainan moden sehingga menumbangkan pasukan lawan dengan jaringan gol yang banyak pada Kejohanan Piala Dunia 2010 di Afrika Selatan.

Skuad Jerman itu yang tidak mempunyai ramai bintang bola sepak membuat kejutan apabila melangkat ke separuh akhir dengan mudah berbanding pasukan seperti Brazil, Argentina dan England yang tewas di peringkat awal. Apakah rahsia pasukan Jerman itu yang pernah menjadi juara Piala Dunia pada 1954, 1974 dan 1990.

Jurulatih Jerman itu buat pertama kalinya mendedahkan kejayaan pasukan itu kepada sebuah akhbar di Jerman yang menyiarkan kenyataannya semalam.

Loew mendedahkan bahawa dia menggunakan taktik petak segi empat sama bagi memenangi perlawanan dan seterusnya Piala Dunia.

Jerman sememangnya dikenali sebagai sebuah pasukan yang berjaya tetapi kali ini, mereka turut menonjolkan corak permainan bola sepak yang menakjubkan.

Pasukan itu mara ke separuh akhir Piala Dunia setelah menewaskan Australia 4-0, Ghana 1-0, tewas kepada Slovakia 1-0 dan seterusnya menundukkan England 4-1 serta Argentina 4-0. Bagaimana Loew mencapai kejayaan tersebut?

"Perancangan tentang corak permainan kami di Piala Dunia 2010 telah lama difikirkan iaitu sejak daripada undian perlawanan oleh Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) pada 4 Disember, tahun lalu," katanya Loew.

Menurutnya, pasukan Jerman cuma boleh merangkul Piala Dunia dengan corak serangan agresif sekali gus menyukarkan pihak lawan semasa di padang.

"Kaedah yang digunakan Itali bagi memenangi Piala Dunia pada 2006 dengan mengamalkan corak bertahan dan menang cuma menerusi satu gol sudah lapuk. Anda tidak akan ke mana-mana dengan bermain seperti itu sekarang. Kami merancang untuk Piala Dunia sehingga mencapai ke perlawanan akhir," jelasnya.

Taktik jurulatih berusia 50 tahun itu akhirnya membuahkan hasil apabila Jerman berjaya menjaring 13 gol setakat ini. Pasukan bola sepak berkenaan juga merupakan yang paling agresif pada Piala Dunia kali ini.

Bagaimana taktik Loew berkesan?

Dia membahagikan padang bola kepada 18 petak segi empat sama yang sama luas.

"Bagaimana kami menyusun dan mengawal permainan di petak-petak berkenaan merupakan faktor paling utama untuk permainan bola sepak yang hebat," kata Loew.

"Setiap pemain perlu tahu posisi mereka pada petak-petak itu supaya tiada pemain bergerak ke serata padang dengan sewenang-wenangnya. Sesetengah petak itu perlu sentiasa dikawal," jelasnya.

Taktik itu bermakna bola sentiasa bergerak dari satu petak ke petak lain sehingga mereka mendekati gol lawan.

Penyerang Jerman, Lukas Podolski dan Thomas Müller sentiasa mengawal bahagian kiri dan kanan padang.

Pemain tengah, Mesut Ozil mengawal segi empat sama di antara garisan tengah padang dan kawasan penalti pasukan lawan manakala Bastian Schweinsteiger melindungi kawasan di antara kawasan penalti pasukannya dan garisan tengah. Taktik tersebut menjadikan Schweinsteiger pemain paling penting dalam skuad Jerman.

Dia merupakan penggerak pasukan Jerman dengan menggerakkan Ozil dan pemain-pemain sayap selain mengatur barisan pertahanan.

"Schweinsteiger mengepalai dan mengatur pasukan itu dengan sempurna," ujar Loew.

Jurulatih berkenaan menamakan taktik keduanya sebagai 'sepak dan lari'.

"Permainan bukan berakhir apabila kami memiliki bola. Saya mahu melihat pemain-pemain bergerak dalam petak mereka dan meminta bola. Dengan cara ini, corak permainan kami adalah lebih dinamik dan lancar.

"Saya tahu beberapa pemain kami amat pandai bermain seperti itu," katanya.

Semua sesi latihan tersebut dirakamkan dan corak larian setiap pemain dianalisis.

"Anda tidak dapat merancang gerakan sempurna semasa sesi latihan. Namun, terdapat mekanisme dan prosedur yang sentiasa sama. Kami akan memperbaiki dua aspek berkenaan," jelas Loew.

Contoh terbaik mekanisme sama itu adalah corak serangan balas pantas oleh Jerman yang membawa kepada kemenangan 4-1 ke atas England.

Serangan balas bermula dengan hantaran jauh daripada Miroslav Klose yang diikuti oleh hantaran lintang daripada Ozil seterusnya jaringan gol oleh Muller.

"Itulah gerakan yang sempurna," ujar Loew.

Pada masa yang sama, dia turut menggunakan taktik psikologi untuk mendapatkan yang terbaik daripada setiap anak buahnya.

Sebelum perlawanan menentang Argentina bermula, Loew menunjukkan beberapa gambar demam Piala Dunia yang melanda rakyat Jerman. "Gambar-gambar itu menaikkan semangat juang kami semua," katanya. - Agensi
