Euro 2021 | After 55 years, England finally knock out the Germans …….

After the draw, it was said that Group “F” was the iron group with Germany, France, Portugal and Hungary.

Two world champions and one European champion challenged each other. At first glance, it seems so, but none of the above-mentioned representatives manage to survive for the quarterfinals. However, 55 years ago at “Wembley”, in 1966, England would win the world cup 4-2 against the Germans in a dramatic final……. since then, the Germans had always won by ruining the dream of the representative of the three lions and breaking hearts of English fans

…..until this June 29, 2021, at “Wembley”, this time England changes history. Sterling and Kane achieve a historic victory against the Germans. The English fans at “Wembley” are in a frenzy. For J. Loew, a sad departure. This is how the first success is achieved against the Germans in a direct elimination match in a European or world championship. The representative led by Southgate goes to Rome to play the quarter-final match against Ukraine. Precisely that Southgate who died. In 1996, the British lost a decisive penalty in the semi-finals, leaving the way for the Germans to win the title of European champion. This time it’s different. Southgate “expenses the guilt” by closing the smell of J. Loew’s representative and perhaps opens a new era of success for his English.

He does this with a single shot in the match scheduled to be played at “Wembley” at 18:51 (in such cases of success, the time should also be mentioned), in front of 42,000 spectators who start singing: “Football is coming home”. and maybe it could happen exactly like this. Despite the cheers during the execution of the German anthem, things that happen even in civilized England. However, Germany in these parts remains the worst enemy……. Southgate predicts everything the best, the choices, the game, the tactical schemes, the changes, turning it into a perfect night in the end. Leave Foden and Grealish on the bench and exclude Calvert Lewis from the list of 23. J. Loew sets the 3-4-2-1 scheme in the game with Havertz and Muller as half-forwards.

Havertz will be the best, while Muller will “push” J. Loew’s representative into the abyss, with the missed opportunity to tie the match 1-1. Southgate does not trust the Germans very much, he knows well from history that “Manshaft” has 1000 lives and it is not easy to get rid of them. The start of the match is for the Germans, the first 15 minutes the English are closed in their area just like the lion that waits before pouncing on its prey. The English are well organized in defense, not for nothing so far they haven’t conceded a single goal!!! The midfield and game tactics are also very good, but the defense is the strongest point of this representative team.

Then the English slowly gain ground and Sterling is the first to shoot towards the goal, giving Neuer the opportunity to fly to the right to make a spectacular intervention, and provide material for the photographers. Meanwhile, the Germans lack a central striker, because Timo Werner is not a central striker. At Chelsea, he ended up on the bench several times, giving space to Havertz as a center forward, and Loew in this case had to imitate the Chelsea coach. However, Havertz also works as a half-forward, pulls back, looks for the ball and lights up the German scene. They even serve a ball to Werner, but the latter is missing at the decisive moment. The game is now balanced and it is even the English who break the ice. Hummels’ monumental intervention against Kane who diverts the ball with his head ….. The second half starts with a bomb shot by Havertz where Pickford with an elastic and intuitive intervention punches over the crossbar. However, his intervention is reminiscent of the legendary Peter Shilton.

Now the match has turned head-to-head in the midfield. Southgate is intelligent, understands everything and makes changes: Grealish for young Saka. And this will result in the movement of success in the future. It will be precisely Grealish who will hit the German defensive wall with a “pickaxe”. The action of the goal of the advantage is started by Sterling who avoids Rudiger, the ball goes through the legs of Kane and Grealish but Shaw gives the pass: Sterling leaves Hummels in place and finalizes 1-0! He has now returned to the idol of “Wembley”, 15 goals in the last 20 games. English fans are delirious.

Well done Havertz and once again he “turns on” the engines of the German tanks, giving Muller a ball that alone with the goalkeeper shoots… out! Unbelievable! Not even he himself, sitting on his knees with his head in his hands, believes it! Such cases lost by the Germans can be counted with fingers in the history of challenges of this rank. Tomas Muller misses the clearest chance to balance the match. After this case, here is a typical action of the English school. Grealish’s cross from the left to the center, Kane hits “bute” with his head slightly bent, sealing the 2-0 victory and the quarter-final for the English.

Meanwhile, Alan Shearer intervenes from TV: “There is no better occasion than this to win the title of Europe”. And he is right, if England fails to win the title this time, they will never be able to achieve it.
