War of words color the few days before the meeting the two teams. Germany used the incident the fight was over the World Cup quarter-final match in 2006 to attack Argentina. Defender Philipp Lahm, for example, calling Argentina impulsive and temperamental. Albiceleste, still according to the German captain, always react badly if you lose. Bastian Schweinsteiger said Argentina did not respect the opponent and often influence the referee throughout the match. Like Lahm, Schweinsteiger also refers to the game four years ago in Berlin. Diego Maradona, Argentina's coach, returning Schweinsteiger statement by asking, "What happened to you, Schweinsteiger? You're nervous about us."
Maradona secretly save their own agenda for this fight; reply to the World Cup final defeat in 1990, when Argentina defeated by Andreas Brehme penalty when the game five minutes remaining. At that Maradona was the captain of Argentina. Argentina's last victory over Germany - in a friendly in Munich, in March 2010 and then - if not erase anything. For Maradona, and Argentina, is a victory in a tournament.
Under the legend, Argentina has won nine consecutive matches. He began to find ways concocting extraordinary talents of Argentina, and know to combine the old and the young players - domestic and European - the force that wants to avoid all the teams. Maradona is also no longer troubled by famine experienced by Lionel Messi goal. He believes the winning goal could come from anyone; Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez, or Gabriel Heinze.
In the German camp, coach Joachim Low sdang enjoying rave reviews from all over the country, thanks to beat England with the material success of young players. But not many are pessimistic about it through the Argentina squad.
Lothar Matthäus, the former German national team captain, doubted Low squad can go further in the World Cup in 2010. The reason, the current German squad contains a lot of inexperienced players. Maradona is likely to play again Jonas Gutierrez on the left, and Angel Di Maria to help the attack. Juan Sebastian Veron returned to action to stabilize the midfield, along with Javier Mascherano. "We must lower the best team, because we face is Germany," said Maradona. Unlike Maradona, low possibility of still going to give confidence to Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski fill the front lines. Klose will appear to-100 times for the German national team.
Behind the two, Thomas Müller and Mesut Özil remain a first choice. Both the sharp increase of the German attack in almost all matches. Meanwhile, Sami Khedira make Low now starting to forget Michel Ballack. Low mengggunakan likely to be still the same tactics, such as perdelapan beat England in the final. Survive well, and hit your opponent through a rapid counterattack. There is no Cacau on the bench in Germany. In fact, low briefly considered going to play it, because it has the same style of play with players of Argentina. Cacau will play, if Germany beat Argentina in the semifinals.
Both coaches have the same mind in one thing; match will take place strictly because every player on both teams have the ability to score goals. There should be no mistake, because the opponent will be immediately punished.
