The styles of the two semi-finals are very different. The match between France and the Netherlands is actually Tang Jue's personal performance, while the match between Spain and Germany is a performance of Spanish team football.

One is a classical heroic representative, and the other is a modern football representative. Who is more sure of winning?

Media represented by the UK and Catalonia believe that Spain has a higher chance of winning. In the words of World Sports, that is, "no one can stop the wheels of football history!"

The Times believes that French football is a historical regression. "In the 1990s World Cup, Bilardo used the 'star tactics' to build the team. However, Argentina still failed to laugh to the end and fell at the feet of the German tank."

"After twenty years, Domeneck picked up Bilardo's tactics and tried to win the final championship. Obviously, this is a historical regression. People who go against the trend of history have no good ending. The French team is not worthy of competing for the final championship. Of course, they cannot win the final championship!"

German media also believe that Spain will win the final victory and become the new world champion: "In this four years, French football has begun to drift away from modern football. They place their hopes of winning on the performance of individual stars, not on the performance of the team."

"From a tactical perspective, French football is regressing, not moving forward. Spanish football is the representative of modern football and the direction of future development of football. They are more focused on the performance of their bodies, rather than pinning their hopes on the performance of individual stars."

"The level of Spain's performance in the semi-finals shocked the world. If they can perform in the semi-finals level in the finals, they can win the final victory and become the eighth world champion!"

"Can the French break the curse on the defending champion? What a joke!"

French media sneered at the remarks of German media, and Lyon Daily sarcastically said: "The Germans were repaired by Spain in the semi-finals too much, and their psychological imbalance. They always thought they should win the championship. Since Spain defeated them, Spain is of course the world champion."

"This logic is very funny!"

"As for modern football and classical football, who can say that Spain is the future development direction of football? Football is a team sport, and the team is composed of individuals. The performance of individuals will inevitably affect the overall performance. Since there is a superstar in the French team, of course we must try to play his role."

"Can Spanish football be replicated? Which team can have the midfield strength like Spain?"

"So that's the case. Why do we think that Spain is the future development of football? If they are the future, then are the Bundesliga and Premier League teams all historical regressions? The problem is that even in La Liga and Champions League, Real Madrid has been suppressing Barcelona."

"We believe that no matter which team has a player like Tang, they will definitely find ways to build tactics around him and give full play to his energy. No coach will be stupid enough to make up for so-called team football. And sacrifice the most confident scoring points in the team."

"This is a typical mentality of hatred because of jealousy, which makes people laugh!"

A so-called battle of words about whether tactics are advanced or not started, Milan Sports commented: "The debate about the French team's tactical play. In fact, one of the core is the different views on Don. Obviously, without Don's defiant performance, the French team would not be able to stand on the finals."

"So how do we view this phenomenon that appears in the French team?"

"When Ronaldo had not arrived at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid could compete in La Liga and the Champions League, relying on Don't have the great performance. Why did no one say that Real Madrid's football was a historical regression?"

"Actually, all this has something to do with Tang. He is a 'star who is not good at dealing with the media'. The reason for saying this is because he is very straightforward and never hides his likes and dislikes. He never 'eat's 'happy' to those who provoke him. Scoring goals is his weapon to counterattack."

"So he offended some media."

"The so-called tactical battle is behind the media that the media do not want Don to lead the French team to defend their title successfully. This is the fundamental point."

...

July 10th is the competition for the third and fourth places, and the German media temporarily shifted their attention to this game. The competition between the third and fourth places is becoming increasingly useless. Is there a big difference between the third and fourth places?

Octopus Barrow came out to predict again, and it climbed on the German flag. So the useless battle became a game to verify Paul's prediction.

At 8:30 pm, the match between Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, and Germany and the Netherlands began.

Germany defeated the Netherlands in three-to-second wins with three goals from Thomas Mueller, Jansen and Khedira, and won the third place for the second time in a row. This is also their fourth time to win the third place, setting a new record.

Paul's prediction is correct again. This is its eighth forecast for this World Cup, with a success rate of 100%.

Many European lottery players strongly demand that Paul predict the final!

Because many of them made a small profit based on Paul's prediction. Paul's Oberhausen Aquarium, Germany, where Paul is located, announced on the morning of the 11th that in order to give back to the love of "Paul fans" all over the world, Paul will predict the final.

At 1:00 noon on the 11th, up and down the flash, Paul began to predict - it swayed onto the Spanish flag!

The Spanish media and fans were filled with joy, and they seemed to have seen their team win the Hercules Cup. Catalonia TV said in surprise: "After defeating Germany, Ramos said excitedly that he hoped Paul would predict that Spain would win the cup in the end. Unexpectedly, his hope came true!"

Sky Sports said: "'Predictive Emperor' Paul stands on the side of Spain, which caters to the history of not having a defending champion successfully defending the title for 48 years. The ball dominant should be crying now!"

Paul's prediction shook the confidence of the French people. French media and fans felt heavy pressure. Paul's success rate was 100% like a mountain pressing on them. French fans shouted angrily, "Eat Paul!"

German TV said: "In 48 years, no one can defend the title successfully. Argentina in 1990 and Brazil in 1998 were all in the finals. The current situation of the French team is very similar to Argentina in 1990. They all rely on one person's defiance of the aura and led the team to the finals."

"Paul tells us that Don cannot escape the fate of Maradona!"

Some French fans shook their heads and sighed: It is said that Don and Maradona are the same type of people. Do they even have the same fate?

Faced with the domestic reaction in France, bbc commented: "It is better to say that Paul is the last straw that crushes the confidence of the French, than to say that their self-confidence is very fragile. The important reason behind this fragility is that the overall strength of the French team is not as strong as that of Spain. Don alone has the performance. The French are not optimistic about their team!"

"The tactical battle between France and Spain these days has made the French more and more understand that their team is anti-historical trend. No one can stop the wheel of history, and neither can Tang!"

The three major European gambling companies began to adjust their odds based on Paul's prediction... From the odds point of view, they are more optimistic that Spain can laugh to the end.

The final is undoubtedly the biggest suspense of the World Cup, and is the emergence of a new world champion?

Or can France break the curse on the defending champion and become the third team to defend successfully since Italy and Brazil?

Whether it is the tactical battle or the prediction of the octopus Paul, they are actually making reasons for the defending champion. When accepting the German media, Beckenbauer said: "In 1990, the Argentines failed, the Brazilians failed, and the French team was difficult to succeed. I am more optimistic about Spain because they are the direction of football development."

Spain's tactical style is deeply imprinted by Barcelona. So, how does the Barcelona coach view the finals?

Guardiola said in an interview with Daily Sports: "I am more optimistic about Spain. As long as they show dominance in the game, they can crush the French team."

Barcelona godfather Cruyff is relatively cautious. He accepted: "If Spain can curb Don, then they can become the new world champion. If you have to predict, then I am optimistic about Spain. As for the reasons, the media has discussed it a long time ago in the past few days."

Obviously, the final touched the hearts of many people, and the media interviewed the storied figures who once dominated the field. Most people were not optimistic about the French team, and only three were optimistic about them.

Ronnie said: "I believe Don will win later!"

Maradona said: "I hope Don can get rid of our 90-year fate!"

Zidane said: "Of course I'm optimistic about the French team. I'm more optimistic about Don. His current condition is shocking. In my opinion, no one can defend him."

Daily Sports Analysis What the three people said: Ronnie and Maradona were once the leaders of the defending champions, leading their team to the finals. They once wanted to make the final struggle with the defending champions' curse, but they failed, so they put their hopes on the ball boss.

As for Zidane, it's even simpler, because he is French.

...

In a word, most people are not optimistic that France can defend its title successfully. After their team reached the finals, Spain was full of posters for Spain to participate in the finals. Some posters directly read: Espanyol, are you ready to welcome the Hercules Cup?

Perhaps in their opinion, the championship is Spain.

Compared with the confidence of the Spanish, most people in France are not optimistic about the slogans of the street posters.

"Breaking the curse of defending champions, we can laugh to the end!"

The curse is so easy to break? Paul's 100% prediction success rate will not work if it comes to the French team?

Of course, some people firmly believe that Tang Jue can lead the French team to defend their title successfully. The reason that supports their confidence is: since Tang Jue can break the curse of Pele's prophecy, he can also break the so-called curse of defending champions.

As for the prediction of the octopus Paul... it was just a beast, what did it know.

So, what is the situation inside the French team when the outside world is generally not optimistic? (To be continued, please search Piaotiansi, the novel is better and faster!
