新华网瑞士巴塞尔6月25日电(记者 潘治 吴黎明)这或许不是一场伟大的比赛,但绝对是一场经典的比赛。5个精彩入球、比分一波三折、球员血洒赛场、裁判引发争议、球迷冲入赛场--它包含了如此之多经典比赛所需要的戏剧元素。在25日进行的欧锦赛首场半决赛中,屡创奇迹的土耳其队终于青出于蓝而未胜于蓝,被更加善于演绎奇迹的德国队最终以3:2击败。德国队率先晋级决赛。
比赛开始前,德国球迷在巴塞尔的圣·雅各布体育场看台一角打出巨大条幅:“我们旅途的终点是维也纳”,展示出德国队进军本届欧锦赛决赛的决心。德国队主帅勒夫沿用了上场战胜葡萄牙队的4231阵形,而土耳其队虽然赛前放出消息称除了4人遭到禁赛之外另有5人受伤,但实际上只有主力射手尼哈特一人未登陆替补名单。
比赛的前20分钟,德国队只是频繁在中后场倒脚,然而土耳其队根本无意与之纠缠,凭借简洁而快速的推进,很快便制造了多次射门,并有一次射门击中横梁。第22分钟时,土耳其队再度射门击中横梁,但这次皮球落下后被埋伏在门前的乌戈尔捅入球门,比分就此改写为1:0。失球后的德国队方如梦初醒,4分钟过后就将比分扳平:波多尔斯基左路突破下底横传中路,快马杀到的“小猪”施魏因施泰格再度灵光闪现,右脚外脚背将球拨入网窝。这粒入球重演了德国队上场与葡萄牙队比赛中第一粒入球的套路。
之后的比赛在拉锯中进行,但相比之下,土耳其队进攻更具威胁。第40分钟时,德国队后腰罗尔夫斯在与对手争顶时眉骨被撞破,一度血流满面。上半场统计数字显示,土耳其队与德国队的射门次数比达到15:3,令人咂舌。
下半场比赛开始后,德国队用弗林斯替换下了受伤的罗尔夫斯。第52分钟时,德国队后卫拉姆左路突破后切入对方禁区,但被对方球员凶猛撞倒,而裁判示意比赛继续进行,这一判罚不但令德国队场边教练和球员从替补席上冲出,更令现场数万名德国球迷爆发出长达数分钟的嘘声。
德国队球员并未受到太多干扰,很快恢复状态。第78分钟时,拉姆中场断球后大脚斜传对方禁区,高高跃起的克洛泽在对方门将和一名后卫夹击之下头球攻门得分,德国队将比分逆转。然而,土耳其队并没有放弃。第86分钟时,后卫萨布里右路人球分过,将拉姆甩开后横传禁区,锋将塞米赫抢在德国队门将莱曼之前,将皮球从极小角度塞入球门。奇迹再度发生了,比分成为了2:2。
然而,要论奇迹,德国队无疑更加善于创造奇迹。第89分钟时,拉姆左路狂奔40米之后与希策尔斯贝格打出漂亮二过一,门前再度得到皮球的拉姆随即将皮球射入,3:2!之后,虽然裁判又将比赛顺延了几分钟,并在德国队禁区前沿判给土耳其队一个任意球,但这再也没有能够改变比分。
德国队主帅勒夫赛后说:“对手将比分扳平确实让我们感到失望。但是我们坚信将赢得比赛。我们展现了坚强的意志,并且证明了我们总是可以的。我们已经展示出了足够的王者风范,我们将赢得冠军!”
BASEL, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Three-time winner Germany elbowed its way into the Euro 2008 final after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Turkey at a semifinal here on Wednesday.
Defender Philipp Lahm's goal in the added time gifted Germany an arrow victory over under-strength Turkey, which had nine players benched because of bookings or injuries.
German striker Miroslav Klose's header in the 78th minute put Germany 2-1 ahead while Turkey's Semih Senturk equalized in the 84th.
Lahm, who earlier delivered a superb pass to Klose for Germany's second goal, ended Turkey's heroic run in Euro 2008, sending the Germans to the June 29 final against the other semifinal winner between Spain and Russia.
"It was certainly not our best game today, but we have won the match with our virtues," said Lahm, who was selected as "man of the match".
"The final score is the best moment of my life," he said.
"Our goal is very clear, we want the title," he added.
In a sold-out St. Jakob Park Stadium in Basel, German fans held high the banner of "Our goal is Vienna", referring to the final to be held in the Austrian capital, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel was also present to show the support for Germany.
German coach Joachim Loew, who returned to the coach zone after a one-match ban, kept Germany's quarterfinal lineup against Portugal, a 4-2-3-1 system, unchanged.
Quarterfinal hero Bastian Schweinsteiger was among the lineup as the Bayern midfielder had contributed to all three goals which shut out Portugal.
Turkey had turned around the last three games with late goals at the cost of red and yellow cards and injuries.
Turkey coach Fatih Terim had a depleted team at his hands as nine players were barred for Turkey's first-ever Euro semifinal because of card punishments or injuries.
The quartet of Volkan Demirel, Tuncay Sanli, Arda Turan and Emre Asli were suspended while striker Nihat Kahveci followed Emre Gungoer in departing the tournament injured after the quarterfinal shootout triumph over Croatia.
However, it was Turkey which emerged more offensive and dangerous during the first half, surprising thousands of German fans at the stadium.
Statistics showed that Turkey made 15 shots with nine within the goal while Germany only managed three shots.
In the 22nd minute, Turkey's efforts yielded fruits as unmarked Ugur Boral sent home a rebound off the crossbar.
Turkey had a good chance to score earlier. In the 13th minute, midfielders Kazim Clatters sent a powerful shot through Lehmman's fingers and hit the crossbar.
Germany, which was troubled with Turkey's quick attacks, revenged with a swift counterattack in the 26th minute.
Bayern striker Lukas Podolski penetrated the area and delivered a superb pass to Schweinsteiger, who scored with ease.
During the second half, both teams paid more attention to defense and they created less scoring opportunities.
The dull defense-to-defense show was interrupted in the 78th minute when Lahm abruptly charged into Turkey's area from the leftside and delivered a pass to Klose, who smashed the net with a header.
German fans's celebrations did not last long as never-say-quits Turkey leveled the score six minutes later.
Sabri Sarioglu cheated through Lahm's defense and passed to Semih Senturk, who tapped the ball into the net.
Lehmman's humiliation was washed off by playmaker Lahm in the added time, who ran 40 meters and shook off Thomas Hitzlsperger to calmly lift his shot over goalkeeper Recber Rustu.
"We are incredibly satisfied with the result," said Loew at the after-match press conference.
However, the 49-year-old said Germany failed to stage the level they performed against Portugal, noting there were some problems with the midfielders.
Looking ahead, Loew already set his sight on the title.
"In the final everything is possible. The team has proved that. Of course we want to win the final. We have the winning mentality," he said.
For Fatih Terim, losing to Germany is a "sad" outcome for Turkey.
"I am very sad. We were so close to the final," he said.
