Chapter 405: "Well done! Chinese!"
When Gao Lin scored, Gao Hongbo and his assistant Fu Bo jumped up from their seats at the same time, and then raised their arms and shouted, and the two of them then high-fived hard. [txt complete works download]. The update is so fast.
They were so excited. On the one hand, I can't imagine that the Chinese team scored first, and it scored so quickly, and there is another reason that it was Gao Lin who scored the goal, or because it was not Yang Fan who scored! This may be a bit awkward, this is not because they are dissatisfied with Yang Fan, but on the contrary, because Yang Fan's personal ability is too strong, and the Chinese team's games often become Yang Fan's one-man show, which makes the goals of other Chinese players seem precious.
Gao Hongbo has been looking for a balance that can not only bring out Yang Fan's extraordinary individual ability, but also show the collective quality of the Chinese team.
And this goal made him see the light!
Yang Fan can be integrated with the team, he can score goals, but he can also make others score.
Such a Chinese team is normal and more promising!
"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" the commentator praised the Chinese team's goal, "The French obviously didn't expect their opponent to get into the form so quickly today, the Chinese table is eye-catching, Yang Fan attracts the attention of the French defense and sends a wonderful pass, and his teammate Gao 'shot' 'goal' is also decisive." β
"Ha, this is the French team, they are now behind the Chinese team by one goal, I have long said that the French team does not deserve to participate in the World Cup. The absence of the Chinese team with Yang is a pity for the World Cup, the French? they are thieves. The game was broadcast live in many countries around the world, and the Irish commentator gloated when he saw the French team conceding the goal, "What is stolen is always stolen, and the French are destined to go home in the group stage." β
The Irish commentator made no secret of his dislike for the French team and cursed him 'vicious'.

Before the World Cup has even started, why is the French team already cursed by Ireland? This has to start with the European qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa.
Last year, on the evening of November 18, 2009, the second leg of the World Cup European qualifying play-offs began, with France hosting Ireland. In the 90-minute game. The two sides played to a 1-1 draw, and the game was dragged into extra time. In the 103rd minute, the French team launched an attack, teammates passed the ball into the Irish team's penalty area, and the French team's striker Henry touched the ball twice in a hurry, and then crossed to the 'goal', and his teammates received the ball and scored the 'goal'. Henry handball first. It is a foul and the goal should be considered invalid. However, the referee ruled that the goal was valid. In the end, France was able to advance to South Africa by eliminating Ireland 2-1 with this goal.
This also caused an uproar after the game.
Immediately after the game, the Irish Football Association filed an application with FIFA for a replay, which was rejected by FIFA. Soon after, the Irish side issued another statement: the Irish Football Federation called on the French Football Federation to 'apply to FIFA for a rematch in order to protect the reputation of honesty in football around the world and to defend the dignity of the French national team'.
Ireland's rematch requirements. It was strongly opposed by the French Football Federation: "Football matches should be based on the judgment of the referee on duty. Such a demand from the Irish is unprecedented. β
However, it was shocking that the person concerned, Henry, stepped forward. Instead of justifying as the French expected, he frankly admitted: "The ball did hit my hand. It was a foul ball and the goal should be invalidated. I want to say 'I'm sorry' to Ireland. It would be fair to do this: a replay between France and Ireland. β
Henry's honesty made the French Football Federation and the media suddenly short of breath and embarrassed. In response, a FIFA spokesperson applauded: "Henry's honesty is a professional role model in football. "Still. Although FIFA said so, it did not mean to arrange a rematch between the two teams.
The controversial goal even had a direct impact on relations between the two countries. At the EU summit in Brussels, Belgium, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Irish Prime Minister John Cowen argued over this. When Cowan heard Henry's statement, his attitude became very tough: "Fair play is an essential element of sport. Ireland will continue to appeal. Sarkozy first expressed his 'sadness' at what happened to the Irish team: "I want to apologise to you, but sports disputes should be arbitrated by a specialized sports body, and I am not in a position to express my opinion on this. "Finally. Sarkozy decisively rejected the replay: "I sympathize with Ireland's situation, but I don't support it. β

The honesty of the "good boy" Henry pushed himself to the forefront of the 'wave'. Not only did the French find it difficult to understand his bluntness, but the Irish did not buy it, believing him to be just a "liar". The Irish media launched a "wave" and "tide" to denounce Henry, calling for this "liar" to be banned from entering the country in the future. Football 'fans' around the world have also started to spoof Henry online. On some websites, his photos have been processed into basketball, handball or volleyball players. Because these balls are played with hands. On the French version of the editable Wikipedia website, Henry's message was changed to "a men's volleyball player from France" by netizens.
But those who knew Henry well stood up for him. British star David Beckham said: "I know Henry too well, he is an honest man, how can I say he is a liar?" Zinedine Zidane, the former captain of the French national team, also said: "Henry's handball is not a cheat, it is a foul. We've known each other for 12 years and he's not going to lie to anyone about his beloved football career. β
In this turmoil, Henry, an "honest child", has attracted great attention. In fact, Henry has been like this since he was a child.
Henry loved to play football from a young age. Unlike other immigrant families, Henry's upbringing was very strict, and his parents demanded that he be "honest" and "motivated", "if you want to get ahead, you have to do both". Every day, Henry must first go home on time to complete his homework. If Henry lied, the result would be very severe, and it was inevitable that he would be beaten by his father. As it turned out, his parents were right to discipline him harshly. The child who played football with Henry, he was the only one who embarked on the path of professional football.
In 1990, at the age of 13, Henry joined the youth team of Monaco in the French Primera League. After training, most of the other team members went out to drink and party, while the "good boy" Henry chose to stay in the dormitory honestly and not go anywhere. What's even more interesting is that once during the game, the referee mistakenly awarded a penalty to Henry's team, but the honest Henry objected. As a result, this penalty was cancelled.
The French press dug up this past incident and tried to 'support' Henry. Ez proves that Henry was an honest man from an early age.

In the end, FIFA did not schedule a replay, and Ireland had to accept the unfair result.
However, this is not the end of the matter, in December 2009 at the World Cup group 'draw' ceremony, the host deliberately pronounced "France" as "Ireland" in order to humiliate France. The result won a round of applause from the guests.
It's no wonder that the Irish have such a big grudge, in addition to the Irish's crazy love of football. British sports economics experts believe that the reason why "Henry's handball" will affect the foreign 'exchange' relations between the two countries is because the World Cup affects huge economic interests. The entry of the French team into the World Cup is bound to boost the consumption of the French gambling industry, the media industry and other industries, with a revenue of at least 1 billion euros, while Ireland will lose at least 100 million euros.
French retail giant Carrefour made a bold statement last month: If the French team wins this World Cup, all customers who buy more than 37-inch color TVs at Carrefour retail stores in France in May will be refunded all the money they paid for TVs.
Immediately, the Irish Pizza Hut chain immediately placed an advertisement on the homepage of the well-known social "communication" website "Facebook" with "revenge 'sex'". It is claimed that for every goal scored by the French team in this World Cup, Ireland's Pizza Hut will provide a free pizza to every registered Pizza Hut member of the country on Facebook. Another large appliance chain in Ireland also wrote in the advertising slogan: "When it comes to revenge, when France loses, Ireland wins." The mall promised that if the French team was eliminated, the mall would return between 25 and 100 euros to customers who bought color TVs.
It can be seen that the Irish have a grudge against the French, so. In this ordinary warm-up game, it can be said that almost all the Irish have become Chinese football 'fans', cheering for the Chinese team, and they are happy to see France scored and lost.

Back to the game.
France's manager, Domenech, was furious, angry that France had conceded a goal, and so quickly. Although the Chinese team has Yang Fan, a superstar, Domenech does not really take the Chinese team into account psychologically, in his football philosophy, football is a collective sport, and it is not a team that has a superstar to be able to show its "color". He is very confident in his French team and takes it for granted that the French team will win the Chinese team. It's better to get a complete win, and it's because of that that that that that kind of thinking that Domenech was so angry when China scored.
After calming down, Domenech began to have a fear that the Chinese team would play more conservatively after taking a one-goal lead, which would create difficulties for the French team.
As Domenech thought, after taking the lead, the Chinese team really played a defensive counterattack.
The Chinese team has such a fast and individual striker as Yang Fan, why not play defensive counterattacks?
Watching the Chinese team take the initiative to recycle their own defense line, so that the French team can rest assured and boldly press the attack, Domenech's face became 'gloomy'.
It is true that the French team has the ability to break the dense defense, their offensive ability is good, and they have a group of talented players, but breaking the dense defense is a world 'sex' problem, even the French team does not dare to say that it can quickly break the Chinese team's goal, but if you can't break the 'goal' earlier, the situation is a little bad. You must know that the Chinese team has Yang Fan, and if the Chinese team is focused on defending and counterattacking, the French team will have to be careful of Yang Fan's offensive threat.
The subsequent process of this game is like this, the French team continued to attack, they once formed a siege on the Chinese team's goal, it seems that the Chinese team's goal 'goal' may be broken at any time, but when the game reached the first half of the forty minutes, the score on the field was still the Chinese team 1-0 ahead of the French team.
"The French team tried their best to score, but they were stopped by the stubborn defense of the Chinese team. β
"It's really unthinkable that the Chinese actually withstood the offensive of the French team. Lineker, the British commentator on Sky TV, shook his head.
After Yang Fan's activity at the beginning of the competition, it seemed a little quiet. "The Chinese team is completely passive, and he doesn't have a good way to do it alone." β

At this time, the French team's possession of the ball, Tulalang tried to pass the football to Gourcuff in front, but he was interfered with by Yu Chaohan, and the ball was a little off. Gourcuff went up to catch the ball, only to see a foot snatch it in front of him and stab the ball away.
"Zhen Zheng! He suddenly grabbed the ball, and the Chinese team broke the ball!" Duan Xuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
"This is a counterattack by the Chinese team!"
Zhen Zheng knew that his speed was not fast, so he didn't bring more. He passed the football to Deng Zhuoxiang, who was waiting in front.
When Sagna saw Deng Zhuo taking the ball, he immediately 'forced' it to prevent the opponent from turning.
But Deng Zhuoxiang didn't mean to dribble the ball, he passed the football to his right side, Yu Chaohan came up, and he received the football. Again, there was no pause, but the football was immediately divided to the other side!
Yang Fan catches the ball!
The entire counterattack and advance process of the Chinese team is almost a one-kick pass, which is quite simple and fast!
Yang Fan got the ball, only to see him take advantage of the situation to lead the football forward to adjust his pace and direction, and then began to accelerate with the ball, which was really beautiful, causing the commentator to applaud.
Yang Fan accelerated to dribble the ball, and he first made a sudden change of direction and acceleration in the high-speed dribbling, passing Malouda.
Seeing Yang Fan racing with the ball, the French team immediately panicked, although the players of the French team looked down on Chinese players, but this certainly did not include Yang Fan! Moreover, they were afraid of Yang Fan, afraid of Yang Fan! Look at the French team's backline, from Evra to Sagna to Gallas and Abidal, this was all abused by Yang Fan in club events, to put it mildly, in the face of Yang Fan, they were all stunned!
Gallas immediately rushed towards Yang Fan!
At the same time, Evra turned around from one side, intending to join forces with Gallas to contain Yang Fan's breakthrough.
In the face of the possible encirclement of Gallas and Sania rushing up, Yang Fan did not slow down at all.
Instead of slowing down, he picked up speed again.
"Yang Fan, he's still dribbling the ball, he's fast, this isβ" The commentator suddenly exclaimed.
Yang Fan was running at high speed, very fast, and he suddenly got up and hit the 'door' while running!
Powerful kinetic energy is transmitted to the football with his right foot!
This shot was sudden!
Whether it was Gallas or Evra, they didn't expect Yang Fan to suddenly get up and 'shoot' and 'goal' in that position!
The nearest Gallas was still about three or four meters away from Yang Fan, and he had no way to stop this 'shot' and 'goal'.
The French team's 'goalkeeper' Lloris didn't expect Yang Fan to choose a long 'shot' at that distance, Yang Fan's 'shot' and 'goal' were so sudden that Lloris's reaction was completely half a beat slower, and by the time he reacted to save the ball, it was already too late.
He could only watch as the ball flew into the goal against the near post.
The ball is in!
The Chinese team leads the French team 2-0!
A score that no one expected before the game!
"goooooaal!" the Irish commentator roared frantically, even more 'excited' than when Ireland scored, "Yang Fan! Yang Fan! The Chinese team beat France 2-0, they surprised the French, and the Chinese from the East beat the Gallic 'chicken' speechless. β
"Well done! Chinese!" he shouted as he shook his arm hard again.
