Review documentary: Germany: A Summer's Fairytale(2006) vietsub

Seeing more than 20 men gathered in a circle in the locker room, listening to the suspended Frings say: "Men, there are many reasons why we are in the semi-finals and why we want to win. Number one, fight until Total exhaustion; second, absolute will, never concede the ball, no fighting; third, courage, play with all your abilities, and we are so damn good; fourth, we are a team and we win games together. Let’s go out now and clean up that shit.”

This is a detail I didn’t notice the first few times I watched it. I don’t understand German, but just by looking at the translation, I can guess that the original words were probably swear words that women would be embarrassed to hear.

Before I had time to comprehend every word, I was deeply swallowed by the atmosphere. The camera swept over Podolski, Lahm, and Bastian Schweinsteiger, who were just newcomers that year. The camera swept over Ballack and Klose, the absolute core players that year. The camera swept over Kawhi, who had faded out of our sight for a long time. En, Lehmann, Schneider, Neuville.

Now Ballack has become the target of public criticism, and the dispute between Klose and Gomez will always divide German fans into two camps. Today's Bayern main team firmly grasps not only this team, but also Loew's heart.

And now Frings, only after searching Baidu did he know that he has already left for the New World where Klinsmann and Beckham live, a land without fairy tales and legends.

I often joke that when I see the current German team, I don’t have much enthusiasm except for liking it, because when I see them, the only thing I can think of is the World Cup in 2010. Unfortunately, my memory of that year’s World Cup only remains in the past. Argentina game, because this game reminds me of the greater matchup 6 years ago.

Those who watched the Germany-Arab war 6 years ago must have become German fans, right? In this European Cup, those who question the blood and will of this German team are not mean. They must be people who have seen Klose's 79-point header and know the weight of that header. All I know is that when Germany fell behind that year, looking at the faces of everyone on the field, I firmly believed that a miracle would happen. Until the long-lost K-style header appeared, until that magical little note, and even the penalty shootout that was talked about enough to go down in history, everything came naturally and irresistibly.

Likewise, that's why the Germany-Italy game was so hard to let go. The collapse in the final two minutes was far more disappointing than the lack of confidence from start to finish a few days ago.

At that time, some people said that the cunning Lippi was indeed superior to Klinsmann, but the camera chasing Klinsmann for a minute after the game made it impossible to see what the young coach was thinking. His tactics are a mystery. Until this movie shows the events of that summer to the world, the rigorous Germans still cannot completely measure the heart of the man using the drawings, formulas and symbols they have always been good at.

He allowed the German tanks, which only had organization and tactics, to blend with passion and reach new heights of will.

When Brahms wrote the "Deutsche Requiem", he tore out the score page by page; after the World Cup in Germany, those who cursed Klinsmann before the game were afraid that they would have to write out their own curses one by one. This man is a mystery all over his body, but he is full of charm from head to toe.

Six years later, Loew, who played a supporting role next to Klinsmann, faced Mario, who played unconventionally, and had already lost his former grace and confidence.

His tactics are piled up with thick information and figures, but they are still hard to see through.

Klinsmann said: "We may be at a disadvantage on the battlefield, we may be behind 0:1, no problem at all, no problem, use body language, what body language? Lucas? It's chest up! If something happens, stand up for me Breasts come and chase them back, no problem at all.”

Pointing to the injured Ballack, he said: "We have to run aggressively, control, and dare to attack and defend. But we have to be disciplined, and for this we need our captain."

The Germans have long regarded that team as their national pride and symbol. Because this is the German spirit.

Rather than letting a man who is clearly in poor condition dwell on the shadow of his missed penalty kick in the Champions League final, nor let him say depressing words at a press conference: "As long as I can beat Italy, I am willing to sit on the bench."

Loew really shouldn't have left at this time. Even the CCTV commentary used Faye Wong's lyrics to excuse him, "Just like a butterfly that cannot fly across the sea, no one has the heart to blame."

This team started to play tricks with their backs, but they lost long-range defensive counterattacks from set pieces. The most important thing is that this team, which is younger than back then, heard more praises than back then, but they lost the fairy tale early. Ability.

While the German Football Association is suppressing public opinion to rectify Loew's name, there must be countless German fans in Berlin, Munich, Cologne Cathedral, and Hamburg's harbor who cannot help but miss Klinsmann and that summer. Feeling proud and sad.

Every summer is a time of nostalgia. In the fireworks in Stuttgart, Klinsmann, who is carrying the third-place medal, will definitely think of the Italian summer of 1990; Klose, who is late in life, on the bench, will definitely think of the boy who emerged from nowhere in 2002.

I wonder if Loew, like me, would think of the fairy tale from 6 years ago in the face of the flashlight of the media. This is nothing to be ashamed of and this film should be shown to the whole team. Most of them were still working hard in amateur teams and youth teams at that time.

Then tell them why they should respect and trust enough veterans like Klose in the team; tell them that football is a team sport, and even those sitting on the bench should be enthusiastic; tell them that nostalgia is actually a At a new starting point, the Germans are not afraid of the difficulties and obstacles ahead, and they should also accept past experiences and current failures openly; tell them that there are many things on the field that transcend technology itself. These things, the Samba people call it romance. , the Spaniards call it passion, the English call it stardom, and we Germans call it absolute will.

This is the true German spirit.
