However, Dong Fangzhuo also recognized the strong strength of the French team.

"If France is given enough space to attack, then it will be very difficult for us to play. Our goal is to defend well, not to think about how to score goals. ”

'I know Mbappe better than anyone else, he's the biggest threat. But I'm not going to give him that opportunity so easily. In turn, France actually thinks so. ”

'We want to win this game so we can get to the semi-finals, all the teams that come here want to win the World Cup, but you have to keep winning to get there. We know how important it is to be in the quarter-finals and winning against France will make us stronger and bring us closer to the goal. ””

"My only concern is ...... Umpire. Dong Fangzhuo's words changed and pulled to the referee. The referee who officiated the match was the Argentine.

"His enforcement in this cup is a bit controversial, there are some awardable and non-awardable goals, he didn't consult the VAR, it's very unscientific, why do other referees deal with this kind of problem on the spot, and he can choose to ignore it? Since VAR is used, it should be respected scientifically......"

Although Dong Fangzhuo is a rookie, he will also transfer pressure and play psychological warfare. This World Cup is the first time to use VAR technology, and many penalties are controversial, and Dong Fangzhuo also stepped on it.

In fact, his first pre-match press conference didn't say anything......

The Chinese team is mysterious, but the French team is frank. Deschamps then attended a press conference, and his style was completely different from Dong's.

It was as if the game had not even started, and he had already won the game.

"We're going to be the team that beats China."

"There is no doubt that our team is ready. They will be at a loss before us. No matter where we are, we have the ability to attack and we can't make the same mistakes as Uruguay. ”

"We will attack until they surrender."

Subsequently, Deschamps also announced the starting lineup.

France (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Lloris

Defenders: Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, Lucas Hernandez

Midfielders: Pogba, N'Golo Kante, Tolisso

Forwards: Antoine Griezmann, Giroud, Mbappe

Only Matuidi did not start because he was suspended, and if he had not been suspended, Matuidi would have taken Tolisso's place.

But this lineup is also strong enough.

"Varane shouldn't have fully recovered, this guy is injured."

Seeing Varane become the starter, Dong Fangzhuo said in the locker room, "If we have someone to face him with the ball, we must resolutely break him!" ”

"Feng Jin, when I am surrounded by Pogba and Kante, you must resolutely rush forward."

"Every time."

"Trust me, one time, I'll pass the ball to your feet."

"And thirty,"

"You two are our best hope of defeating France."

Although the starting lineup was not announced, Dong Fangzhuo had already determined the starting lineup.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng

Defenders: Deng Hanwen, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Wang Gang

Midfielders: Hao Junmin, Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen

Forwards: Wu Sanshi, Dong Fangzhuo, Feng Jin

It seems to be 433, in fact, the change in the forward line is the largest, Feng Jin and Wu Sanshi have no height advantage, but they have speed, according to Dong Fangzhuo's idea is to play defensive counterattack. In the tall French backline, these two small players will be important counter-attacking pieces.

……

The Nizhny Novgorod Stadium was flooded with nearly 60,000 fans, and fans on both sides occupied most of the stands.

"Paper tigers, look, they are nothing without Zidane."

"If you want to enter the semi-finals for the first time in 12 years, dream!"

"Since Zinedine Zidane's retirement, the French team has been nothing."

Chinese fans also know France very well, and many fans respect Zidane as the king of the ball.

"Since Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane, it is Dong Fangzhuo who really dominates the World Cup. If Dong Fangzhuo was born in any giant national team, Dong Fangzhuo estimated that he would have won three World Cup championships long ago! ”

French fans were also very excited.

"Today is the time to finish the mantle of Chinese Dong, and Mbappe will definitely continue to shine in the World Cup."

"Defeat his master and become the new world master of football!"

French fans put their hopes on Mbappe, and Griezmann and Giroud are all floating clouds.

The cameras are constantly panning over Thierry Henry and Zinedine Zidane, who have led France to greater success than Platini. The two of them kept talking to each other, laughing from time to time.

Two other decorated players, Lizarazu and Thuram, appeared on French sports television to cover the game.

They also gave Deschamps advice, but unfortunately Deschamps won't hear anything now.

'Didier Deschamps was the World Cup-winning captain and he knows how to lead this team to the end.

"It's one of our strongest teams."

"In fact, this game is somewhat similar to the World Cup final in '98, when Ronaldo soared into the sky and overlooked the world as the world's first man, but was defeated by Zidane."

"This time it's still the Chinese Dong who is soaring day by day."

"We don't have Zidane now, but we also have Mbappe......"

'But we're not just Mbappe, our players are perfect in every position.'

"The Chinese team is not, except for the Chinese Dong, the players in their other positions are hardly excellent, although they all have the highest level at the Asian level."

……

……

……

In the locker room, Dong Fangzhuo was making the final mobilization.

"We are world champions,"

"We have the blood of champions in our veins,"

"No matter who the opponent is, we are fearless!"

"We start from the first second we step on the pitch and fight until the last second!"

"It's always the opponent who falls, not us!"

"We have to prove with our actions that we are still the strongest team in the world!"

"They say they have the sharpest fur in the world, and we're going to tell them that we are!"

"They say they use the hardest shield in the world, and we have to tell them that we are!"

……

……

"Nothing beats China,"

"Standing on top of the world, you have to start by defeating the Chinese team,"

"Each of you has such a mission, and victory will show you what a great thing you have done today!"

"Win your glory and write your name in the history of French football!"
