Belo Horizonte, Brasil (ANTARA News) - Reaksi emosional tim Brasil atas cedera yang menimpa Neymar membuat tim Samba berada dalam genggaman Jerman ketika Der Panzer membuat rekor kekalahan 7-1 di semifinal piala dunia 2014, kata pelatih Jerman Joachim Loew pada Selasa.

Kemenang Brasil atas Kolombia di putaran perempat-final harus dibayar mahal. Bintang Brasil Neymar harus menepi dari lapangan karena patah tulang belakang, sementara kapten Thiago Silva dilarang bermain karena akumulasi kartu, dan Brasil tenggelam dalam emosional itu.

Sebelim kick-off kapten David Luiz dan kiper Julio Cesar memegang kaos nomer 10 di Stadion Mineirao sebelum menyanyikan lagu kebangsaan.

Sementara Loew mengatakan Brasil kehilangan ketenangan mereka ketika Jerman mencetak lima gol dalam 30 menit di paruh babak pertama dan membuat mereka melaju ke final pada Minggu, (13/6).

"Penting untuk menemukan semangat dan menghadapi rasa emosional dengan ketenangan, keberanian dan kemampuan diri sendiri," kata Loew yang akan bertemu Argentina atau Belanda di babak final di Rio de Janeiro.

Loew menambahkan," Mereka terkejut atas gol kami dan membuat pertandingan lebih mudah buat kami."

"Semua orang melakukan pekerjaan mereka dengan mengagumkan dan penuh konsentrasi. Kami bermain bagus dan membuat kami terus melaju."

Loew juga mengingatkan Jerman untuk tetap rendah hati walau mampu membuat rekor kekalahan internasional bagi tuan rumah Brasil.

"Sedikit kerendahan hati akan sangat bagus karena kami ingin terus berkonsentrasi untuk laga Minggu," kata pelatih 54 tahun itu.

Gol-gol Jerman dicetak oleh Thomas Mueller, Miroslav Klose, Toni Kroos, Sami Khedira dan Andre Schuerrle. Kroos dan Schuerrle masing-masing mencetak dwigol. Sementara satu gol hiburan untuk Brasil dicetak oleh Oscar pada menit 90.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil, July 08, 2014 (AFP) - Brazil's emotional reaction

to Neymar's injury played into Germany's hands as they inflected a record 7-1

World Cup semi-final defeat, German coach Joachim Loew said on Tuesday.

A fractured vertebrate suffered in their quarter-final win over Colombia

ruled Neymar out and with captain Thiago Silva suspended, Brazil fell apart on

an emotionally-charged night.

There were constant reminders of Neymar's absence at the Mineirao Stadium

before kick-off with captain David Luiz and goalkeeper Julio Cesar clutching

the Number 10 shirt bearing his name during a deafening rendition of the

Brazilian anthem.

But Loew says Brazil lost their cool which allowed Germany to score five

goals in 30 incredible first-half minutes to put them in Sunday's World Cup

final.

"It was important to meet this passion and these emotions with calm,

courage and with our own strength," said Loew whose side will now meet

Argentina or the Netherlands in Sunday's final in Rio de Janeiro.

"They were shocked by our goals and it made the game easier for us.

"Everyone did their jobs incredibly well and with total concentration.

"We played well going forward and combined superbly."

But Loew said the Germans must stay humble despite inflicting Brazil's

record international defeat on the hosts.

"A bit of humility would also be very good and we need to be careful that

we stay concentrated on Sunday," said the 54-year-old.
