" Even two years later makes the 119th Minute of Dortmund with Michael Ballack and his teammates have extra motivation. At that time, on 4 July 2006, when Pirlo put the ball through to Grosso, who then recovered by curling shot into the far corner to make it 1-0 for Italy, ended in one stroke, the summer fairy tale. The Dream of the title was ended prematurely in the semifinals. This does not happen this time.
"The memory of Dortmund shows us that we need to finally give it all. Especially against the Turks is full use be necessary until the final whistle," said Michael Ballack, the captain of the German national team before the semi-final today (from 20.45 clock , live on ZDF) in Basel St. Jakob Park against Turkey. "Of course, we motivated the memory of the then exit against Italy. Now we want to make the final step. We need two very good performances to win the pot."
The 31 year-old Ballack, who in the final on Sunday the 87th can argue match, is hot on his first major international title, but warns against any arrogance: "We expect a very strong Turkish team that will be like in their other tournament appearances perfectly set on the opponent Fatih Terim can motivate his team very well have the Turks.. Croatia kicked against which we have lost. There are no favorites. "
Turks are never on
the Turks the "comeback kids" of the European Championship 2008. In the quarter-final against Croatia they forced a goal in the last second of injury time penalty kick. Even at the decisive group match against the Czech Republic applied Terim's team a 0-2 residue yet in a 3-2 victory, and 2-1 against co-hosts Switzerland a 0-1 was still converted into a victory. Therefore seems clear: Turkey, the 20th the world rankings is to never stop.
the German assistant coach Hansi Flick responds now irritated when his appeal to journalists to alleged establishment problems in Turkey. "I can not hear it," Flick says with a scratch in her voice, an after-effect from the 3-2 quarterfinal victory over Portugal when he coached the team representing the suspended national coach Joachim Loew on the bench. "Turkey lives of courage, passion and will." Qualities, then, are not diminished by the failure of individual players.
So far, there were 17 games with Turkey, of which Germany won eleven. The last date comparison but lost the DFB team on 8 October 2005 in Istanbul with 1:2. "Miracle Run" Michael Ballack, who lay back against Portugal over 14 miles and the average speed of 30.88 kmh led the German team, now wants to make "the last step" towards the final. Which system you want to achieve the great goal may, however, do not tell the captain: "Now also includes the smallest advantage."
