IN THE BACK OF SCHUMACHER, GERMANY MÜLLER ACCELERATES AND HITS PORTUGAL
Bayern Munich striker scores the first hat-trick of World Cup and is the home of the New Source knockouts. C. Ronaldo has cleared late and is booed The day began with a gathering news for the Germans: the ex-Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher and idol came out of the coma after nearly six months. And you can say that your selection field tried to honor him stepping up and deciding game against Portugal in the first half. Mainly from Thomas Müller, scorer of the first hat-trick of the World Cup and was named man of the match. The three goals from striker Bayern Munich left the team Cristiano Ronaldo as the laggard of Group G after 4-0, on Monday at the Arena Fonte Nova.
Hummels made another and determined that, so far, is the city of Salvador knockouts tournament - last Friday, the Netherlands applied 5-1 on the champions Spain. Germany, superb even before all the worries about the weather, is the leader of the key with three points.United States and Ghana are still facing this Monday at 19h (GMT), the Arena das Dunas in Natal.
It was a nice way to also reach a milestone under the gaze of Chancellor Angela Merkel, who traveled primarily to accompany the premiere of his country. Germany, three-time champion, reached the 100 games in the World Cup, ahead even of Brazil. In 11 of the 17 editions, Europeans finished in the top three. Now won 61 times, with 19 draws and 20 defeats.
Germany, home is here
Of course it was hot. According to the website of FIFA 26 º C, 80% humidity and a feeling that there was a sun for each of the 22 field. The Germans, so accustomed to the cold, who have already shown their corner of Bahia. Raced mainly in offensive sector, making clear the intention of Joachim Löw not to arrest a man there - be it a false nine, because the two originals, Klose, by style, and Schürrle, his shirt, occupied a place on the bench.
Bastian Schweinsteiger was also there, but without clothing game - the left-foot problem was not really that simple. Marco Reus, best hope of generating, watched the game from his home in Dortmund, with a cast immobilizing his injured foot. For Germany, the abundance of brilliant players makes their absence be felt even in games like this theoretically catfishes.
Portugal who was more bothered in the first minutes, however. The counterattack was a weapon to try to deceive the compact marking of the Germans. Cristiano Ronaldo, after seven forced Neuer to practice good defense. Just before Hugo Almeida in returning the 7 shirt, there was also scared. Pepe and Rui Patricio did the same, but on the other hand, which caused a ball to the exit prompt delivery for Khedira. The steering wheel amended first by inches and not opened the scoring.
It would be a matter of time. A lovely exchange of passes Müller and Boateng, Götze received the penalty area and was slightly offset by Joao Pereira. Müller penalty to score his sixth goal in the World Cup - at age 24. The ball went into the right corner of Rui Patricio.
Portugal Is not Real Madrid
Portugal had an alternative crossings for Hugo Almeida try to fend for himself. The problem is that Nani was responsible for most of them - if not hit the ball, managed to scare with a shot from outside the area. Play in your selection is like a reality check for Cristiano Ronaldo, a great test of patience for those who are used to having Gareth Bale, Benzema and Di Maria as teammates at Real Madrid. As adults and children, galactic and adjuncts. Still, the Portuguese was below the recognized standard of best in the world, isolated in tip-left, and finish the first stage under more boos than cheers.
It was easy to explain. Germany dominated the game and have built great opportunities. In one, Özil rolled Götze reach pounding - João Pereira, this time, cut the ball. The corner ended with a giant Hummels, defender of class and technique, riding higher than Pepe. The Portuguese would have one more chance to try to change any setting, but Coentrao, who knows why, when he was chosen by touch only Neuer in front.
Portugal eventually punished for the bad choice of side. The next throw, Müller fell after Pepe hit the arm of her face. The quarterback probably thought it was a game of La Liga with Real Madrid and gave a light halter as intimidation. The referee Milorad Mazic reacted with a red card. Delivered, the Lusitanian still suffer thanks to the third eye for goal Müller: the split sleeve 13 with Bruno Alves and amended left-handed, in stoppage time.
Müller is isolated in the artillery
Portugal was not an outline of what Paulo Bento as planned news conference yesterday. Throw in that Nani and Coentrao bump up in the penalty area down the unfortunate day of Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends. The 7 shirt even tried to appear more, but their conclusions were even the direction of the goal - a charge pathetically lacking in particular caught the attention and catcalls. To make matters worse, if Coentrao lesionaria alone when trying to achieve an almost lost ball. Hand groin indicates an extra concern for following the World.
Germany had virtually no more worries. Returned determined to prevent wear, spend time exploring counterattacks. Özil, at six, lost the chance to silence some critics. Götze, who had the previous pass, neither found the net at 24. Müller But in great afternoon, showed how to do.Mal was required, it is true: only completed rebound Rui Patricio in crossing Schürrle, shooting himself in the small area. In the absence of a 9, the youngest German striker scored his presence to also lead the table artillery Cup with the first hat-trick.
