Villa vs. Klose highlights Spain-Germany semifinal (AP)
Author: Michael
JOHANNESBURG (AP)—The World Cup’s two most impressive strikers—David Villa
and Miroslav Klose—will go head-to-head when European champion Spain meets
three-time winner Germany in the semifinals Wednesday.
Villa leads the scoring chart with five goals in five games for Spain, while
Klose has hit the target four times for Germany and needs only one more goal to
pull even with former Brazil forward Ronaldo as the top World Cup scorer of all
time with 15 goals.
“It’s difficult to compare them but both have shown great finishing
qualities,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said.
Villa’s strike partner Fernando Torres has been out of touch and may be left
out of Spain’s team, while Thomas Mueller is suspended for Germany, meaning the
scoring onus will fall even heavily upon Villa and Klose.
Villa missed the 2008 European Championship final against Germany due to
injury but still led that tournament with four goals. The 28-year-old forward is
one goal away from matching Raul Gonzalez’s Spain record of 44 and is looking to
cement his place as his country’s greatest striker.
“He’s left-footed, right-footed, technically gifted. He’s almost as
complete a player as Lionel Messi,” Klose said, comparing Villa to the
Argentina standout. “He’s a player that you have to combat against with a whole
team, not just one defender.”
Whereas Villa has scored all but one of Spain’s six goals at this
tournament, Klose’s four strikes represent less than a third of Germany’s
impressive 13-goal output.
Germany beat Australia 4-0 in its opening match, and had routed England 4-1
and Argentina 4-0 in its past two matches.
“It’s probably the most complete team in the World Cup. A team that has
changed since the 2008 final, with young and fresh faces,” backup Spain
goalkeeper Pepe Reina said. “It’s the most dangerous rival at the moment.”
Besides the intriguing individual matchups, the match at Moses Mabhida
Stadium in Durban should feature a sharp contrast in styles—Spain’s precision
passing and high-possession game versus Germany’s full-pitch attacking style and
crosses into the box.
“We try for combinations and they play down the field more,” Reina said.
“They’ve always scored except for against Serbia, and we have to make sure not
to let them get ahead.”
Spain beat Germany 1-0 in the Euro 2008 final with a first-half strike from
Torres, and the Spanish have again shown their ability at winning tight games
here—taking their past three matches by one goal each.
“We have different players now, while Spain is almost the same,” Germany
midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger said, referring to new standouts like Mueller
— who has also scored four goals—playmaker Mesut Oezil and defensive
midfielder Sami Khedira.
Besides Mueller, Germany could also be without Khedira and central defender
Arne Friedrich. Khedira is nursing a left hamstring injury and Friedrich has a
right foot problem.
Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas appears ready to play despite shoulder pain.
Germany is aiming to reach a record eighth final, while Spain is looking to
get to its first. The winner will play either two-time champion Uruguay or the
Netherlands in the final at Soccer City on Sunday.
“There are no favorites,” Villa said. “A favorite is the one who ends the
game as the winner. … (Germany) is probably the team in the best form at this
World Cup, but it’s a game of 90 minutes between two great teams and anything
can happen.”
