The distance between the two champions-from 1996 to 2014

A brief history of the German team is recommended to all German fans!

[tell you a different German team by forca]

on July 13th, 2014, Germany won the 20th World Cup in Brazil. At this moment of witnessing history, as an old German fan in Germany, I was as excited as fireworks in the night sky.

the last time I saw Germany win the championship was in 1996.

Germany took part in the European Championship final held in England in 1996. Before the final, Germany had reached the point of exhaustion. That's called a dead end. The team is so full of injuries that it is almost difficult to get together a complete team of 11 people to play football in the finals. Germany captain Klinsmann, with a thigh muscle strain, dragged an injured leg onto the field.

at that time, the main German goalkeeper was Koepke, and the substitute goalkeeper was the later "boiled woman" Strauss-Kahn. Since there was no one to change, before the final, the German team prepared the striker's match suit for Strauss-Kahn, ready to let him play as a substitute at any time. So tragic and tragic, unprecedented.

In this kind of situation, even Uefa at that time could not bear it and offered to make an exception and allow Germany to temporarily recruit players from home before the final to participate in the final. So\ & quot; gracious love ", was politely rejected by the German team, resolutely let this disabled soldier, walk into Wembley Stadium. After conceding a goal first almost the whole world felt that the Germans were powerless, with Bierhoff's two goals, the Jedi reversed and won the European championship.

years later, when I was asked when I became a German fan, I would say that it was when I took it from the Queen of England with a broken leg in Klinsmann and held the Laudernay Cup high.

how can you not be impressed by such a tough team and the spirit of not admitting defeat? From then on, I became a fan of the German team and a fan of Klinsmann. & nbsp; it was also a summer, the summer of 1996.

Light and shadow fly by. I didn't expect that the distance between the two champions will be as long as 18 years. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the goalkeeper who almost became the world's first final substitute to play as a striker, is now a commentator for Germany's ZDF television, speaking at the Brazilian front. At that time, German goalkeeper Koepke was already the goalkeeper coach of the German national team. Bierhoff, who scored two goals that year, was already the leader of the German team, leading the German team to its first championship in 18 years.

18 years have been too long, ups and downs, bitterness and bitterness, and how many stories are there about this German team.

in 1998, it was the same coach Vogts and the same German captain Klinsmann, while the German team, which is still crowned "European champion", has been called a "vintage car". Croatia left France sadly after being washed in blood at 0:3 in the quarter-final. The structure of the 1996 champions fell apart, the coach resigned and the captain retired. From then on, it was announced that the German team began to enter a low ebb, a dark period, and a long period of disconnection.

in the next eight years, three competitions were regarded as the tragic trio of the German team.

in 2000, it was another European Championship. Germany, as the defending champion, scored 1 point in three draws and two losses in the group stage, and the group was out at the bottom. It is not terrible for the defending champion to be out, but such a merciless way is a disgrace.

four years later, in the 2004 European Championships, three games, two draws, and one negative accumulated 2 points, which was still out of the group.

only the 2002 World Cup, sandwiched in the middle, did slightly better and won the runner-up. But anyone who watches the game will remember how ugly and lingering the German team was. Had it not been for the advantage of the competition system and the bravery of Strauss-Kahn and Ballack in the knockout stage, Germany would not have been the runner-up in three games narrowly won at 1:0 against three rookies, Paraguay, the United States, and South Korea.

at that time, the German team did not pick up, and there were few names in the team that could be called, that is, the third-rate team, as a sick man with the title of the three-time world champion. when he leaves the door, the neighbor's three-year-old can jump up and slap him in the face. & nbsp; this black, unbearable time, only those who have experienced it can know how difficult it is for today's German team, behind such splendor and glory.

during the period when everyone lost in the German team, it was the German Football Association, learning from the bitter experience, strengthening the investment of young people, improving the league and youth training system, and training reserve forces. Relying on the spirit of ten years of sharpening a sword, when the results hit rock bottom in 2004, they bottomed out and rebounded, and ten years later, they returned to the top of the world in 2014.

the bright part of the story goes back to the German captain, Klinsmann, starting with him. It was he who took over the coach of the German team during the most chaotic time of the German team. At that time, it was the most chaotic time for the German team. After Voller resigned after being eliminated in the 2004 group stage, the German coach was a hot potato and no one wanted to take over.

in the noise, Christopher Dom was finally chosen-- Christopher Dom, who was indeed a handsome and tactician, and people breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, before he took office, Dom was exposed to a drug scandal and passed by the handsome position. But the scandal of drug abuse by the head coach of the national team is humiliating. & the last one of nbsp; A hot potato fell into Klinsmann's hands again. At that time, the German captain, who had a thigh strain and went to the game with an injury, had a tragic feeling and became the coach of the national team amid skepticism and ridicule.

then comes a series of bold and enterprising reforms like Klinsmann's style of playing on the court. Use young players, update tactics, and innovate the echelon of the national team at all levels. After leading the team to second place in the Confederations Cup in 2005, he won third place in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The opening ceremony of the 2006 World Cup was at the Allianz Stadium in Munich when Germany played Costa Rica. Hit the whirlwind, the storm of youth, take on a new look. Although in the end, due to limited strength, Germany only won third place, the German team has won back the hearts of disappointed fans in the past few years.

people began to fall in love with this German team again, calling the 2006 German team "the Fairy Tale of Summer". The fairy tale is small and charming, although it is still young, it does not matter, it is on the right path.

to express his dissatisfaction with the outside criticism of his work during his tenure, Klinsmann resolutely left after the 2006 World Cup. But the wealth he left behind is inestimable, the national team coaching staff he formed at that time, and a promising young German national team.

his assistant Loew became head coach. Keep the consistency of the team's techniques and tactics. More importantly, the seeds of German youth training at that time had already begun to blossom and bear fruit, and a large number of young talents emerged so that Loew would no longer have the agony of making bricks without rice. it was just that there were too many cards to choose from.

it is worth mentioning that in 2009, the youth national team of U21 Magi U19 Magi U17 of Germany swept Europe, winning the European Youth Football Championships at all levels and achieving an unprecedented Grand Slam of youth European football. At that time, many of the names that won the championship became the heroes on the highest podium in Brazil yesterday-Neuer, Ozil, Hummel, Boateng.

next, there is the most brilliant part of the story, after the runner-up in 2006, the runner-up in Euro 2008, only one step away from the runner-up in 2010, and the top four in Euro 2012. The window paper is only one layer short, and the champion is always one step short.

until yesterday, Germany once again beat the Argentines to the top of the world, just as it did 24 years ago. Gold flakes all over the sky, such as snowflakes falling, German tricolor flags fluttering in the air, Germany has become the world champion-four-star Germany!

next, there is a universal Getty compliment. Countless people praised it just because he won. There is no problem that we respect the winner, which is the natural law of the jungle society of the law of the jungle. Our problem is that it is too easy to judge, to say like and dislike, but never to take the time to understand each other.

when I see a lot of Argentine fans criticizing Germany, I don't understand. Watching this German team walk all the way, from glory to trough, from reconstruction to resplendence, the story of 18 years between these two champions is enough to make people excited, enough to win respect, enough to be loved!

in particular, this German team does not kick, does not dive, does not cover its face, does not keep talking, does not besiege the referee, does not give up, and plays football conscientiously. The opponent will help when he arrives, and the opponent will come forward to comfort him when he is eliminated. I'm still cute when I'm hurt.

what else do you want from a team like this?
