Coach Bert van Marwijk Bond warns against the supposedly easy task against the ailing Celeste contrast to the concentration. “Germany or Spain – and I’m still not. We have the experience but Schonmal, we must think only of the European Championship,” he says. 2008 was the Netherlands after dream football and wins against Italy and France favorite – and failed in the quarterfinals to Russia. “We all thought that we are European champions, and then,” said van Marwijk.

Suarez will encourage his colleagues, however, from the stands. “We have no fear, our goal is the title,” he says. It would be the third after 1930 and 1950, when there was no final, but only one final round.

His task? “I have only just keep all the shots that come to my door,” the goalkeeper of Argentina, which since the legendary Sergio Goycochea have no more ‘penalty killers.

No winner of thumb, not a triumphant pose, no loud cheering – the end of his 16-month without goal in the jersey of the Portuguese national team Cristiano Ronaldo acknowledged with a smile.

free humbly and loads took the superstar received the congratulations of his teammates. His curious results with the help of the enemy shooter, who finished the 7-0 (1-0)-runaway victory over North Korea, ensured the long-hoped-for change in mood. “My goal was really fun,” joked the previously hapless striker of Real Madrid, “but I am very happy. Goal is goal”.

I take over as manager responsible for the wrong strategy,” said Kim Jong Hun.

In the new edition of the legendary World Cup quarter-finals of 1966 against the world rankings-105. Cristiano Ronaldo was guilty but over long distances a taste of his abilities. Only shortly before the end he was allowed to laugh at his quaint stumbling goal in the presence of national hero Eusebio, who was 44 years ago significantly involved in the 5-3 against the Asians, but still. After a long no goal of Real striker his fans a match against North Korea had promised.

Only in the initial phase provided North Korea a real struggle and put little pinpricks. A long shot by defender Cha Jong Hyok stroked napp on goal by Eduardo (11 over). Seven minutes later, the Portuguese goalkeeper by Hong Yong Jo was examined in the rebound Pak Nam Chol headed too high. While Cristiano Ronaldo usually showed only showpiece, and Tiago Meireles drove the game of the World Cup Fourth effectively forward.

It was in the first round the last scene of the flashy dribbling artist, who swam for it and only insignificant fellow travelers in a Portuguese team was uninspired.

The Fourth World Cup in 2006 could not develop further opportunities, which was also due to midfielder Deco. The 32-year-old from Chelsea was just a shadow of itself, was the offensive play of the “Selecção” no momentum and was replaced after about an hour. Since the Ivorians little penetrating power developed, the action was mostly from between the penalty areas. The fear of a residue played with both teams and paralyzed the offensive efforts .

Boredom at the gate
Despite the sporty Magerkost good mood was in the stands, where fans created their Vuvuzelas and drums for a duration of a noisy backdrop. For the professionals this had in the break as a wake-up call. In particular, the Ivorians were now something purposeful to work. Shortly after the restart Gervinho examined for the first time Portugal goalkeeper Eduardo, who had to hold in the first 45 minutes no ball. In the 54th Minutes had the goalkeeper to Sporting Braga in a low shot from Chelsea’s Salomon Kalou professional re-gripping vigorously.

The Portuguese came after nearly an hour in the vicinity of the opponent’s goal. After Deco’s cross with a header Liedson examined the Ivorian goalkeeper Boubacar Barry. The hoped-offensive fireworks both teams did not burn but it will also in the second half. With increasing time flattened the encounter, a fact that Drogba was able to change anything. The football hero of the whole continent, with posters like “Drogba – was received Mach Africa proud,” remained pale during his brief appearance.

As a military commander José Mourinho was after the 2-0 – win over Bayern Munich in front of the fan block from Inter Milan. He put his hands on his hips, his chin thrust forward, and remained in this pose as long as until the last photographer had photographed him.

That moment says everything about Mourinho: He is extremely successful, will be honored in each of his clubs, but is also a master of self. Not two hours later, turned again more about his impending move to Real Madrid than Inter’s first Champions League triumph in 45 years.

First Mourinho nodded in a Sat.1. interview on the questions whether this had been his last game for the Italian triple-winner and hot his future club Real Madrid. Later he was limiting then: “I have several options. Inter is an option that Real is one option. The likelihood that I go, is greater than that I stay.” By that Monday he wants to have spoken with Madrid president Florentino Perez about it. The most spectacular change coach of the year is only a formality.

Mourinho has fueled speculation about the time. He has caused a lot of unrest before the finale, but that has not harmed his admiration for Inter to the great Real will to oblige him. There is a kind of law in Football: How Mourinho, is the success. As the first coach after Ottmar Hitzfeld and Ernst Happel, the Portuguese, the “king class” played with two clubs: 2004 with FC Porto on Saturday just in Madrid, Inter Milan. “I am as proud for the first time,” said the 47-year-old. “This win is for every one dream.”

The Italians celebrated after more than just a title. They felt that after 45 years of longing for this trophy as redeemed. As captain Javier Zanetti braced the Champions League trophy in the air, broke many “tifosi” in the Inter-block down in tears. Esteban Cambiasso pulled the jersey on, with the ‘Nerazzurri’ this pot had taken last 1965. As one of the first president Massimo Moratti got him down in his hands. The oil tycoon had invested since 1995 around 850 million euros in new players to experience this moment may. But it was formed from Mourinho at Inter traditionally exclusive single Kings partners Europe’s best team.

Its success has, as in Porto and Chelsea for two reasons: He is preparing his team before every detail and creates a climate in which everyone goes through fire for each. Inter can play an opponent to the wall as in the semi-final first leg against Barcelona (3-1), it can only concentrate on defending as in the 0-1 a week later, the bases provide always look like the final victory against Bayern : Mourinho’s teams are organized, they are full of power and make no mistake. “This is a class,” said Munich’s also sporting director Christian Nerlinger.

As much as Mourinho also polarized by his self-confidence in public: His players adore him. After the victory against FC Bayern not he went to them to embrace it. Most were running all by itself up to him. “It’s not the money that brings victory, but the attitude, mentality, and the coherence. I have brought to Inter, “said the Portuguese.

At Real he wants to create even now. After winning the English and Italian and the Spanish championship is his dream. Moratti could have been mad at him or disappointed, especially since the Madrid media speculating about long ago that he also wants to take the players Maicon and Milito. But the president took his coach only intimately in the arm and said: “Mourinho is unique.”
