The blitzkrieg or lightning war was a military offensive model was implemented in Germany several times during World War II. It consisted of a massive attack armored forces (the tanks) on a given area in the shortest possible time. The surprise attack was effective if an enemy off guard, unprepared and unable to react. The German blitzkrieg practiced against Greece in the game in the quarter-final tie after the amazing of the Greeks, those of Loew did not lose your cool and attacked with everything within Greece unable to react to the three goals that were falling in a space of thirteen minutes. The penalty closed Salpingidis marked by a score of 4-2 in favor of a Germany that reached an uncontested victory led by a magnificent Özil.
The game started with surprise in the lineup of Germany, as Löw proposed a revolution in attack that has been given the defeat of the Germans would have been frivolous or a lackluster attack coach, but the gamble paid off. Schürrle, Reus and Klose saw his name on the board of the owners at the expense of Mario Gomez, the great scorer Teutonic, Müller and Podolski. Loew yesterday showed that not only provides a good eleven, but also a good bench.
The truth is that the party remained entirely the same score: Germany in the attacking accumulated percentage of possession with Greece looking to recover the ball to find the counter, something rarely difficult when a Greek player passed the center circle. When Samaras mainly tried to approach the penalty area came into my head battles Charisteas solo in 2004. Greece was limited to close on their turf, even to pressure the opponent, but to see them come. In this context, Özil found a bonanza. To make matters worse, Greece Karagounis had not suspended. And last but not least, the goalkeeper Sifakis, signer of a game to forget, did not provide any security. And that's not all: if you are approaching Greece Neuer domains, there was an imposing Hummels to resolve the situation.
And enough is the first goal in coming German, Lahm work at 38, recalled in a while when he scored against Costa Rica six years ago at the World Cup in Germany, the first in that tournament: a goal like this, although that was superior. Sifakis could do more in this, but it is also true that the ball was a stranger who has already hit several times the gatekeepers of this tournament. Germany was asserting its superiority on the scoreboard in the game with a three-quarter line dancing to Ozil, he moved where he listened to the rhythm and dance that was to Reus or Schürrle of the band center. Also Khedira, star of a great game, was incorporated with joy to the immediate area.
Fernando Santos knew something had to change and ushered in the rest Fotakis and Gekas. Not changed over the script of the game but gave Greece the bell to tie the crash thanks to a perfect against that was riveted by Samaras to the network. Seemed to return the spirit of 2004 and was a warning to Germany that dozed, accommodated in the short edge, but reacted as expected from the alternative title in 60, six minutes after the goal Hellene, Khedira arrived in the area unappealably to finish a ball into the net. A good goal. In 67, Klose headed home before the bad start of Sifakis, and 73, Reus chased a loose ball in the area to send to the network with forcefulness. In all cases, as in the Lahm, Özil involved somehow.
Salpingidis makeup the result in the absence of a minute with a penalty goal. Greece was unable to repeat miracle, though his stay in the quarter was already a surprise, a team that knows how to make their poor performance. Loew told a news conference: "took a chance and scored two goals." For its part, Germany did not play a perfect meeting of the reaction beyond the draw, losing some balls failed avoidable be used by the Greeks and other boots may have run the other lot. In any case, is a combined Mannschaft knows what plays and does so with efficiency thanks to a great generation. Beside the champions, the team to beat.
