At 5 pm on the 27th, the match between Brazil and Ghana started at Dortmund Westfall Stadium. Brazil defeated Ghana three-to-zero with three goals from Ronnie, Kaka and Ade. Ronnie's World Cup goal reached 16 goals, continuing to rewrite his World Cup goal record.

Judging from the process of the game, Kaka and Ronnie's condition has reached a good level. The two have performed wonderful excellences many times in the game. Whether France or Spain can enter the quarterfinals, it is a big disaster to meet such a Brazilian team.

After the game, several media praised Brazil, saying that they had already revealed their champion and were approaching the sixth World Cup trophy. Ronnie and Kaka were praised, and the media called them the most perfect midfield and frontcourt partners in the World Cup.

The match between France and Spain was scheduled at 9 pm and 7:40 pm. The two teams arrived at the stadium one after another. As soon as they got off the bus, the reporters couldn't wait to surround him. Domeneke and Zidane ignored the reporters who were stopped by the security guards. Tang Jue left a word to the media and left.

“We will meet with Brazil!”

This is a bold statement, and he didn't take Spain seriously at all. The Spanish media sneered: Humph, damn it! The game is over, it depends on what else you have to say!

The French media likes to hear this most, but they know that this will be a difficult game, and no one can predict what will happen in the game. So after hearing Tang Jue's bold words, they did not show their joy. However, Tang Jue's words gave them more confidence, because Tang Jue had never disappointed them.

Raul got off the bus and said to the media: "I will give myself a meaningful birthday gift!"

It was then the media remembered that today was Raul's 29th birthday. Some Spanish journalists remembered some rumors: According to Western practice, Raul, captain of the West Outer, should celebrate on the evening of June 26 and early morning on June 27. However, when his teammates made such a proposal, they were flatly rejected by the captain: "Celebrating after the game with the French team, now is not the time."

Raul took the initiative to postpone his birthday celebration because he wanted to prepare for the game with all his heart. The captain once said: "In the past, Spain was eliminated in the competition before my birthday came. This time, the birthday is the day of the competition. I hope to celebrate it with victory."

The attitude Raul showed before the battle with France was a kind of redemption for what he had done in the past few days. You should know that since Raul realized in the group stage that he had become a substitute, he had been declining, and had lost his fighting spirit on the training ground.

The reason why Aragonese was photographed cursing Raul was because the captain had a bad attitude in a training game, and did not work hard. In the end, he annoyed the old coach. Looking back on the more than a week between the end of the first group stage and the beginning of the third group stage, Raul seemed to have had a nightmare.

In this nightmare, he destroyed his usual good image. You should know that since he played for Real Madrid at the age of 17, he has never given such a negative impression.

People are used to a robot-like Raul, but now the one that appears in our vision is actually the real Raul. The captain also has seven emotions and six desires, and will also care about his position. Falling from the clouds makes people realize a real Raul, and at the same time makes Raul sober. This is undoubtedly the process of the captain re-understanding of himself and his future.

After the main players played in the last group match against Saudi Arabia, Raul's attitude became much more positive. It was not until Raul smiled again before the game and joked easily with his teammates that Aragonese finally believed that Raul could return to the main position because the gloomy captain could not have good performance - this has been proven by the three years at Real Madrid.

In the last moment of the European Cup against France in 2000, he lost the penalty and the ridicule of Butters after his penalty kick. All of this further improved Raul's fighting spirit. Raul could be defeated, but not mocked, and now, his sense of humiliation has turned into fighting spirit.

...

Hannover-awd Stadium, which can accommodate 67,000 people. It is the largest stadium in Germany. In the 2004/05 season, setting a new record for the number of visitors to the European football stadium. The stadium is rectangular, like a grand theater, and some people call it the "German Football Grand Theater".

When the players from both sides warmed up on the court, the stadium was full. The south stand was French fans wearing white jerseys, and the north stand was occupied by Spanish fans wearing red jerseys. The fans' battle had already begun. The majestic "Marseille" sung in the south stand, and the north stand was "March of Royal". "March of Royal" was originally derived from the Granada Army March of the Carlos III period in the 18th century.

This is a focus battle, and it is also the last game of the quarter-finals, attracting many heavyweights. UEFA President Johnson and the next UEFA presidential contender Platini and other UEFA big bowls were all present. Many retired stars led by Jero in Spain came to cheer for their team, and France was not outdone, and Papan, Cantona and others were all present. Cice also came to cheer for their teammates.

Behind the benches of the French and Spanish teams is a beautiful wife group. Alice wore a white French team jersey on the upper body and a pair of denim shorts on the lower body. She turned into a real French fan. Some media later said that she was the most beautiful French fan in the world.

Tonight, inside and outside the stadium are destined to be bright!

Brazil's assistant coach Jorginho also sat at a certain point on the stadium. He had to observe the two teams up close and collect first-hand information for the quarter-finals.

Henrik Hilario, a famous football commentator at France Television, said: "Nine days ago, Zidane and Don had a conflict with Domeneck. After mediation by Csimo and Platini, the two sides reconciled and the team united again."

"This may be a hurdle, a hurdle that the French team must overcome. Zidane and Domeneque have too many grudges. The French team can only unite after passing this hurdle. I am very glad. The time when they had a conflict was nine days ago. If the dispute happened now, then the French team would have a lot of luck in this game."

"It is said that a touching scene happened at the French team training ground this morning, and many players worshiped Zidane. Zidane was moved and shed tears. Tang said at the time that he would score even if his legs were broken."

"I think the French team tonight will definitely be different from the French team in the past. They will fight to the death for Zidanedo to play a game. What amazing energy will the old French team burst out? We will wait and see!"

Antonini, a commentator of Spanish TV One, said: "The Spanish team is ready. They will defeat France in the World Cup to avenge the European Cup six years ago. This is the 700th game in the history of the World Cup. The two teams have no history of confrontation in the World Cup. The last match was in the quarterfinals of the 2002 European Cup. Raul missed a penalty in the last moment. Spain lost 1-2 to France."

"Tonight's game is of special memorial significance for Raul, it is his 29th birthday. Teammates will not use a loss to celebrate their captain's birthday."

Espn's commentator said: "The match between the Netherlands and Portugal is the focus of the quarterfinals. It was a cruel game. The referee showed a total of sixteen yellow cards and four red cards. Tonight is another focus of the quarterfinals. We look forward to the two teams bringing a great game to fans around the world!"

"The verbal battle between the two teams before the game attracted the attention of the media and fans. The French team had just experienced an internal strife, and no one knew what they were doing now. However, the Spanish team has been very calm. They won all three games in the group stage and their morale is strong. The French team lost to Togo in the last game of the group, which will inevitably affect their morale."

"The focus battle is about to begin. What we need is to prepare beer, open our eyes, and watch the two teams intently. Fans and friends, the last 8th-finals of the 06 Germany World Cup is about to begin!"

...

At 8:20, players from both sides left the court and they had to make final preparations for the game.

French team locker room.

Domeneck stood in the middle of the locker room and began to announce the starting list: "Goal, Butters; defender, Saniol, Toulam, Galas, Abidal; midfielder, Vieira, Marklele, Zidane, Ribery; forward, Henry, Don."

The scar on Ribery's face was flashing red. He didn't expect that he would appear in such an important game, which means that he had already stood at the main position. Other players did not have too many expressions on their faces, and this is the most powerful lineup for the French team now.

Domeneck glanced at the player, raised the volume a few degrees and said, "The knockout is a life-and-death battle, there is no way out. I don't want to say too much about this, because you are quite clear about this."

"In terms of tactics, I made it very clear at last night's meeting, and I won't say much now. I would like to emphasize that when the pace needs to be accelerated, we must reduce horizontal passes and give more straight passes to give full play to the speed advantage of our two forwards."

"We must be patient in defense. Spain has good skills. What we pursue in this game is not their ball possession rate. This is their strength. We don't need to compete with them in this regard. Scoring goals is the king!"

"Once the score is ahead, our strategy is to fight back. If the score is behind, it doesn't matter. Believe in yourself and your teammates!"

Marklele said loudly: "Coach, don't worry, we will definitely give the fans a satisfactory game. Zidane and I are very familiar with them and know how to deal with them!"

In the match against Real Madrid, Henry, who staged a long-distance raid, said: "What Marklele said makes sense, we know we should deal with them like this."

This season, the La Liga two players Real Madrid and Barcelona were eliminated by Arsenal and Milan one after another. The key figures who eliminated the two players were both in the French team at this time. One was Henry and the other was Tang Jue. The main players of the Spanish team were basically composed of Real Madrid and Barcelona players.

Tang Jue said loudly: "Yes, we know how to deal with them!"
