Argentina and Brazil met in the Confederations Cup final. From FIFA to the media to most fans, they were very satisfied with the result. You know, Argentina and Brazil can be said to be the most famous teams in this Confederations Cup, and they are also the two teams with the most stars. It is naturally quite rare and extremely eye-catching for them to meet in the finals and stage a powerful dialogue!

Perhaps the only ones who are unhappy are the German Football Association and German fans as the organizers of the event. Because in their imagination, it should have been the German team as the host nation that appeared in the final, not Argentina led by Riquelme. But I didn't expect that Brazil would let go so badly in the group stage. They were squeezed to the second place in the group by Mexico and met Germany in the semi-finals!

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. How Brazil plays is their own business. No matter how well the German Football Association plans, when the overall strength is not as good as the other side, they can only leave it to fate and see what Brazil does.

Although George wanted to go to Leipzig to watch the third place match between Germany and Mexico, because the organizers held the final and the third or fourth place finals on the same day this time, after some hesitation, George finally chose to go back Go to Frankfurt and watch the Confederations Cup final between Argentina and Brazil with Beckenbauer at the Forest Stadium!

Compared with the German team, which is on the road to revival under the leadership of Klinsmann, Brazil and Argentina are stronger overall, and George is also very interested in going to the scene to observe Kaká up close and see the Prince of San Siro. Can his style of play be integrated into the current Tottenham Hotspur!

Although Galliani and Silvio Berlusconi have always been extremely resolute in their refusal to sell Kaká, George has always been determined to lure the Brazilian to White Hart Lane and create a club that belongs to Tottenham. Super frontcourt. Not to mention, in the eyes of George, who is familiar with the future direction, poaching Kaká from AC Milan is not an unrealistic thing. After all, in a few years the whole world will be dragged down by the subprime mortgage crisis caused by Americans seeking death. Bayern's wallet will also shrink significantly under that economic crisis, and AC Milan, which lacks the support of Bayern, will have to Reduce the fiscal deficit by selling top players. At that time, it will be George's best opportunity to poach Kaka!

"I think Brazil has the best chance of winning this championship trophy." In an interview with a reporter from Bild, when asked which side he expected to win the Confederations Cup, George did not hesitate to support it. Brazil, "Brazil has top players on three lines. Lucio and Dida lead the defense. Emerson and Ze Roberto are both offensive and defensive in the midfield. Ronaldinho and Adria Novo Kaká's frontcourt attack combination is even more outstanding. Their head coach is Pereira, who has led Brazil to the World Cup championship. He can control the Brazilian team very well and make it follow his tactics. Competition. So, I really can’t think of any reason for them to lose this final!”

"George, are you so optimistic about Brazil winning the championship?" Putting down the newspaper that contained George's remarks, Elizabeth asked in confusion, "Argentina also has first-class stars like Riquelme, Cambiaso and Zanetti. Even though Pekerman is still an excellent tactician, why is there no chance of defeating Brazil? Don’t forget, less than a month ago, coach Pekerman also led Argentina to a 3-1 defeat in the World Cup qualifying match. Brazil!"

"Ellie, Argentina's roster does look strong on paper, but it cannot be denied that the overall strength of Argentine football has actually been declining over the years. Samuel lost Pekerman's trust. Now, they don’t have a reliable player in the defense, otherwise they wouldn’t have been defeated by Germany in the group stage.” Regarding the question raised by Eli, George expressed his opinion seriously, “As for Brazil, it’s just As I said in the interview, they don't have any obvious weaknesses at all now. Moreover, Adriano, who serves as the main center, is a state forward. For a player like him, once he comes, he feels like he is It requires a rhythm that goes against the sky. And judging from the current situation, Ade is obviously in pretty good shape in this Confederations Cup."

The reason why Brazil in the previous life stopped in the quarterfinals at the World Cup in Germany a year later was not because of the lack of strength of the Selecao, but because of other problems-Pereira, who was once again in charge of the Selecao coach, no longer had the top position. In response to the scolding of fans across the country, the courage to depose Rai Yi and the "Magic Quartet" (that is, allowing Adriano, Ronaldo, Kaká and Ronaldinho to play at the same time) created in order to balance the relationship between many big names in the frontcourt only looked like it. It's beautiful, but the actual effect can only be described as terrible. And trusting the two veterans, Cafu and Carlos, and refusing to give young people a chance is another failure of Pereira!

Now, since members of the 2002 World Cup winning team such as Ronaldo, Carlos and Cafu have not participated in this Confederations Cup, this problem in Brazil has not yet been exposed, and the lineup seems very reasonable. Especially as the main players, Emerson, Ronaldinho, Adriano and Cicinho all happened to reach the peak of their careers this year, further increasing the possibility of Brazil winning!

Looking back at Argentina, Pekerman is indeed first-rate at the tactical level, and the national team formed with Riquelme as the core has also shown considerable strength, but the abnormal personnel composition has become the Pampas hero. The fatal wound of the eagle. The instability of the defense coupled with the lack of qualified wing attackers makes it easy for Argentina to be seized by opponents to pursue their weaknesses, but Pekerman's tactical ideas are difficult to implement perfectly!

The most important thing is that in the previous World Cup qualifiers, Pekerman's Argentina exposed too many trump cards against Brazil, which did not try its best. For a head coach of Pereira's caliber, this period of time is enough for him to develop targeted tactical arrangements for the weaknesses in Argentina's lineup!

While George and Elizabeth were waiting for the final in the VIP box at the Forest Stadium, the third and fourth place finals of the Confederations Cup at Leipzig Central Stadium had already been decided - with Ballack's goal in overtime. The host Germany team narrowly defeated the Mexico team 4-3 and ended their journey in this Confederations Cup with a third place!
