Julio Cesar, 34 years old, is about to be 35 years old.

As the former Brazilian national team's national team, Cesar has always been unwilling to be here. For the goalkeeper, he is still at the age of playing, so he gave up his main position to his competitor, Diego Alves. So in the past period of time, he has trained hard and worked diligently in the competition.

There are gains when you have to make efforts. Cesar performed very bravely in the Premier League and successfully regained his position as the main goalkeeper of the national team, and played all the games for Brazil in the World Cup, which was highly recognized.

But when he gets old, he is old. It is difficult for Cesar to ask his body to continue to make such stretched saves like he did when he was young, and give such a sensitive physical reaction. His movements are slower and his save distance is shorter. He even thinks he can save many balls, but his body is always a little bit worse.

Time is unforgiving, and getting old means getting old!

When Cesar fell heavily on the grass, he ignored the grass that had his face, closed his eyes all at once, punched the grass in front of him with his fists, and cursed angrily, "What a fuck!!!"

However, his shout was not heard, because almost at the same time, the referee blew the effective whistle of the goal. Almost at the same time, countless fans in the stands rushed out of their seats, praising Klose, who had won the first record for the German team with extremely enthusiastic cheers and praises!

These voices completely covered up Cesar's insults and reluctance, but they could not hide the anger in Cesar's heart. They were both angry with his teammates and even more angry with himself.

If I was a few years younger, if my body could be more relaxed, if my reactions and my movements could be faster and more sensitive, then I would definitely be able to save this ball because the damn German striker's shooting angle was not very good. If it was Cesar at his peak, he would definitely be able to save.

But no one would pay attention to Cesar's grief and anger, and everyone was paying attention to Klose who scored the goal!

The German striker knelt down in the penalty area, covering his face, lowered his head, but his body was straight, looking like a sculpture.

The teammates around him surrounded one by one, and everyone was celebrating Klose's goal. This was his second goal in this World Cup, and he didn't have much technical content, because he was simply a one-on-one shot at that time. It was more about his consciousness, the running consciousness in the absence of the ball.

"This is Klose's 16th World Cup goal!" the live commentator murmured.

Needless to say, the fans in the stands had already played cards with 16 in one go. One of the stands where the German fans were located formed a fan array, raised the cards in their hands high and formed a big 16 number to congratulate Klose on his 16th goal in his personal World Cup.

This goal will not only represent Klose's own goal number. It also allows Klose to break the historical record of 15 goals in the World Cup set by Ronaldo, which will undoubtedly make Klose the first place in the World Cup finals and set a new historical record!

Klose stood up from the penalty area. He hugged and kissed his teammates one by one, looked very excited, and then quickly ran to the sidelines, spreading his arms and hugging the head coach standing on the sidelines. At this moment, he did not hide it anymore and let his tears slide from the corners of his eyes.

Even though Klose, who had not cried when he learned that he would not be able to participate in the World Cup, was crying at this moment.

"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!!!"

Klose kept saying the same sentence repeatedly beside Yang Cheng's ears with sobs. He seemed to be completely lost in relief, and he was completely surrounded by the joy brought by the goal.

If everyone has a certain purpose in living in this world, then at this moment, Klose really feels that his purpose for so many years is today and this goal!

The live TV camera swept across the stands, swept over a large number of Yang Cheng's former superstar disciples, including Batistuta, Baggio, Ronaldo, Nedved, etc. They all stood up from their seats, applauded vigorously, and paid tribute to Klose's goal, because this veteran deserves this goal!

"Perhaps Yang Cheng is right. Klose is not a genius. He has never had the talent for Superman football. He will never be able to show impressive skills on the court. He will never be the kind of player who can be pleasing to the eye, but he has an unforgettable great character!"

"Klose is a great player, but his greatness does not come from his skills, but from his person himself, from his character, from his low profile, from his tenacity, from the kind of German spirit that he represents!"

"Long before the game, Ronaldo once said that he would cheer for Brazil in the final, but he hoped to see Klose score, because he felt that the German striker deserved this goal, and Klose did not disappoint. Although this goal to a certain extent, Ozil who passed the ball and Thomas Mueller who assisted it also made great contributions, this is definitely a real goal belonging to Klose!"

"Yang Cheng, a month ago, he was still questioning and criticizing about the injuries of his beloved player. Countless people suspected that he was nepotism. Even though he knew that Klose could not play, he still had to stubbornly bring him to the World Cup roster. But now, Klose used this goal to completely crush all doubts and criticisms about Yang Cheng. He dedicated this goal to his head coach to express his gratitude and gratitude to Yang Cheng!"

"The game has only been less than half an hour, and Brazil still has a chance, but for Scolari, Klose's goal will undoubtedly completely break the deadlock on the court and put Brazil in a completely passive position!"

The on-site commentator was right at all. Brazil still had a chance, but it was very, very passive.

Because in this single-round knockout match, once a goal is scored, the trend of the game will be completely changed, and the side who concedes the goal will be very passive. Should I attack or defend?

Choose attack. You will undoubtedly fall into the opponent's trap, because the leading side will definitely set up camp waiting for you to attack, and then steadily hit your counterattack; but if you choose defense, the situation will not be much better. The leading side will have more patience to play with you and slowly spend time with you.

No matter how you choose, it is a dilemma!

…………

…………

Scolari has always known that this game will be very, very difficult to play, especially after Kaka was absent due to injury, which cast a shadow on the final, so he would not feel surprised in any situation during the game, including conceding the ball.

Brazil only has so many people, Hulk and Neymar went up, but the threat was not very big. The midfield arranged three midfielders to ensure the team's defensive rate. But even so, the German team still found an opportunity. He had no choice but to make a flaw.

In the knockout round, one mistake is enough to be fatal. This is a bloody lesson!

So before the game, Scolari emphasized the most important point to avoid mistakes. In his opinion, the key to a game like the World Cup is not who has a stronger offense, nor who has a better defense, but who has the least mistakes.

Brazil made a mistake in the first game and was won by the United States. But after that, Scolari returned to the track he was most familiar with, ensuring the team's low mistakes and finally reached the final.

When it comes to mistakes, the German team is definitely the team with the least mistakes in this World Cup, so they have the most hope of winning the championship!

But it is obvious that Scolari repeatedly emphasized before the game. Nothing could be avoided.

"What should we do now?" Pereira also looked disappointed, with a cowardly look on her face.

Offense? Scolari asked himself in his heart that even with Kaka, he would not be sure that his team could break through the German defense. What's more, there is no Kaka now, and with Hulk and Neymar, he knew how much effect it could have.

Defense? Maybe this is the only choice that Brazil can make!

The German team is too strong in overall strength, a little higher than Brazil. In this case, if Scolari presses up and fights against the bayonet, he will only lose even worse in the end, so he can only defend and wait for the German team to make mistakes!

But...is this possible?

Scolari was not sure, because in his opinion, Yang Cheng had arranged all the details very carefully for this game. Maybe he even arranged how the players passed the ball and shot properly. The offense that caused the goal just now did not seem to be on the spot at all.

Or, the Germans didn't say that they were playing on the spot at all, and their attack just now was obviously a routine!

"Is there any other choice?" Scolari sighed and looked at Pereira with a wry smile.

Both strength and offense are at a disadvantage. In this case, will you compete with the opponent for a goal?

…………

…………

The first half ended with the German team's lead with a 1-0 lead, but at the beginning of the second half, the two sides still didn't seem to have a better change. Many Brazilian fans began to accuse Scolari of his on-the-spot command, believing that his on-the-spot command was terrible.

But after sweeping the lineup on Brazil's bench, I have to say, if you don't continue to play like this, who will be replaced?

Time passed bit by bit. Yang Cheng replaced Klose with Gomez in the 60th minute. The latter's physical fitness was obviously out of reach. After Gomez went up, the German team's tactics also adjusted. The three lines began to stop pressing, and chose to retract, and then counterattack.

Yang Cheng's attitude has been very clear. I will no longer take risks. If you want to score, you can do it!

Scolari also wanted to bet, and replaced Alves with Fred, who performed well after returning to the Brazilian league, and wanted to further strengthen the offense and allow Neymar to retreat to the position and be responsible for supporting the midfield.

However, such a change did not achieve much effect. Yang Cheng quickly replaced Ozil with Tony Klos, further strengthening the control of the midfield, and also allowed Schweinsteiger to strengthen the oppression of Oscar and Neymar, and then he patiently launched a defensive counterattack.

When a long pass from Badstuber counterattacked, Gomez quickly inserted back and shot hard at the front of the penalty area. When Cesar struggled to lift the crossbar, everyone was shocked by the sharp counterattack of the German team.

Brazilian players' offensive determination has also been weakened a lot in this wave of offense. At least every time they attack, they must consider whether their defense can withstand the counterattack of the German team.

The ball is in hand and the game is also in hand, and the German team completely controls the situation of the game.

Brazil, whose confidence has shaken, is constantly consuming time.

Perhaps, from the beginning, the German team had already gained a huge advantage. So before the game, everyone was optimistic about the popular Germany rather than the host Brazil. Even if it was Brazil, the FIFA president was Beckenbauer. Even if the latter did not favor Germany, it could ensure that Germany had a fair playing environment.

That's why so many people say that Germany and Spain, whoever enters the finals will be the champion, because the strength of these two teams is too strong compared to other teams!

…………

…………

When time steadily jumped from 92 minutes to 93 minutes, and then walked for another 13 seconds, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.

At the moment the whistle sounded, the staff, coaches and players in the German coaching area, who were ready to go, rushed into the stadium like crazy, and rushed into the highly anticipated Maracana Stadium.

After waiting for 24 years, the Germans finally looked forward to another Hercules Cup!

"Congratulations to Germany, congratulations to Klose, congratulations to Yang Cheng! This is a World Cup that belongs to Germany, Klose, and Yang Cheng! I believe that even countless years later, we will definitely remember the football joy that the German team brought to us in this World Cup!!"

"Although the German team only won 1:0 in this final, we can clearly see that the German team is ahead of Brazil in all aspects. It is worthy of winning this championship. The latter is difficult to pose a threat to the German team in the game, and even their offense is difficult to enter the German team's penalty area!"

"Relatively speaking, the German team not only has the best defense line in this World Cup, but also has outstanding offensive and counterattack capabilities, which makes the German team the most outstanding, the most stable and balanced team on this World Cup. Winning this championship trophy is the honor they won by their strength!"

There were countless fans in the stands starting to celebrate, but one of the most prominent points was that the German fans once again raised the cards in their hands, raised them high above their heads, and gathered together, which turned out to be a portrait puzzle of Yang Cheng.

I saw a line of words written under the puzzle, "We will love you forever, Caesar!"

"We will love you forever, Caesar!" The commentator on the scene was reading this voice from German fans in the stands. "A very touching scene. For them, fans from Germany, this is not just a victory to regain the World Cup, but it is also the day when they respect the head coach most. Yang Cheng announced his retirement!"

"We have confirmed from the German Football Association Chairman Mr. Nielsbach. After Yang Cheng won the World Cup, he will officially announce his retirement. From now on, we will no longer be able to see Caesar in the World Cup or even the coach's seat of the football match. Tonight will be the last time he stood in front of the coach's seat on the stadium. Let us take a good look at him!"

The camera circled around Yang Cheng slowly, as if he wanted everyone to take a good look at him, always remember him, and always remember everything he brought to the football world.

He changed football and created legends!

Baggio and others in the stands also stood up. They were behind the coach Yang Cheng's seat, applauding together, giving their most beloved head coach a warm applause. The applause became louder and louder, and finally swept the entire Maracana Stadium, one after another, and it could not be calmed down for a long time.

Yang Cheng walked out of the coaching area, and he greeted Scolari, hugged the latter tightly, accepted the latter's congratulations, and then met Pereira, followed by Thiago Silva, who did not leave the stadium. He chose to stay and support the head coach he respected the most. Marcelo and Kaka who walked into the stadium with crutches.

Baqiao and others also walked into the stadium from the stands. They congratulated Yang Cheng one by one and hugged Yang Cheng, while Yang Cheng had a serious face and hugged everyone and thanked everyone.

He doesn't need any unique farewell matches, nor does he need to organize any grand and special farewell ceremony. For Yang Cheng, he should end on the football field when he starts on the football field, so he chose the World Cup and the final!

For him, there is nothing more happy and exciting than ending his coaching career as a winner at Maracana Stadium, and there is no more meaningful farewell game than this!

After saying goodbye to this group of former disciples, Yang Cheng went to the German internationals, hugging and saying goodbye to them one by one, and walked over to hug and say goodbye to every staff member, even the most inconspicuous team members in the national team, and went over to hug and say goodbye to them.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, German Football Association Chairman Nielsbach, FIFA President Beckenbauer, UEFA President Olsen, Inter Milan President Moratti, Real Madrid President Florentino... They all walked into the stadium, hugged Yang Cheng, congratulated and said goodbye. The whole process was captured by live footage and sent to the world.

Is there a grand farewell ceremony that will allow the whole world to witness his departure?

The podium set up on the sidelines has been completed, and Beckenbauer greeted everyone to receive the prize.

First, it was the second-place Brazil team in the World Cup, and then it was the World Cup champion Germany.

However, when everyone received the medal and was about to award the Hercules Cup, Captain Ram did not go forward, and almost all the fans in the stands were shouting Yang Cheng's name together.

"Caesar! Caesar!! Caesar!!!"

Everyone on and off the podium were applauding. They all hoped that at this time, Yang Cheng could step onto the podium and represent the German team to receive this championship trophy, and use it as Yang Cheng's final farewell!

When this heavy Hercules Cup was raised high above Yang Cheng's head, when all the German players gathered around Yang Cheng, when the entire stand, the entire stadium, and every corner of the earth were applauding and cheering for Yang Cheng, colorful ribbons fell slowly, and colorful paper covered the entire stand like snowflakes.

And the scene of Yang Cheng holding up the Hercules Cup under the protection of countless people will surely become the front page cover of all newspapers all over the world on the second day!

Time, at this moment, seems to be frozen forever...
Chapter completed!
