Chapter 41: The Gluttonous Feast (Part II)

Minutes after Effenberg came on, the first half was over.

2:1, the disappointed ended the first half of the game proudly, and it is expected that in the second half, they will be even more proud.

Now the French team is facing a serious physical problem, they are unable to muster 22 top players, and although the opponent is not enough 22, but all of them are called the best in world football.

Maybe after this tradition is passed down, it will be the turn of being a world champion - think about it, after seven tough matches, there is no time to rest, and you have to face a game that must be lost, and as a respect for the other party, you must also put out the entire main lineup, this and this, this is not looking for humiliation......

Forget it, anyway, it's already a world championship, so let those guys who have never been to the World Cup win a game and let them be proud......

In the second half, he replaced Anelka, Trezeguet, Deschamps, and Pires - the midfielder who is currently in the French team Marseille is the core of the midfield who will join Arsenal in the future, and is also one of the players who was tried to abduct him to China by Ling Feng with a bad idea.

And when the disappointed squad returned to the pitch, they made another change, with the scorer, Red Devils king Eric Cantona back on the bench, and Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shepchenko coming off the bench.

Shepchenko received a round of warm applause from the Chinese fans, after all, as Ling Feng's former teammate, he still has to receive a lot of preferential treatment - in particular, Sheva is also a handsome guy, the female fans are excited, but the opinion of Di•Stefano is a little bigger - although Cantona is older, he is also full of masculinity, and that bald man didn't replace the black charcoal-like Weah, leaving two handsome guys on the court?!

Although, although Weah's appearance is indeed a little flattering, but his skills are still the best in the world, although he is 32 years old, but Weah's style has not diminished back then, although he has not scored so far, but the threat created is not small.

After Pires came on the field, the French team greatly shared the pressure of Zidane's organization in the midfield, and the attack also seemed to be impressive.

In the fifth minute, Effen Bogse moved the ball to the wing, Litmanen crossed, and Weah's header was blocked by Barthez.

Four minutes later, Zinedine Zidane also crossed from the right, but Trezeguet, who had just come on the pitch, took advantage of his height and fended off the Portuguese Xavier and smashed the ball into the opposition goal with a header!

2:2 draw!

After the goal of the French team, Stefano made another substitution adjustment - no way, there are so many people, you can't stop others from playing.

Weah was replaced by Recoba and Littmanen was replaced by Figo.

With Weah's departure, the current lineup of disappointed players on the field is completely the younger generation of players, that is to say, just now everyone was still a little in awe of the old players and did not dare to make too big moves, so now the players of the two teams are completely at the same level.

Figo's ability is definitely not to be underestimated, in the organization of the midfield is not worse than Zidane, and in terms of assists, Figo is enough to catch up with a good striker.

What's more, there is no need for him to organize now, Effenberg and Redondo are behind him, and there are Giggs next to him, four top midfielders, among which Redondo is still a player of the sworn enemy Real Madrid, Figo of course knows his strength, and Effenberg, who has long been famous, and Giggs in Manchester United, the strength shown is not below him.

"There are so many masters in this world!" Figo said in his heart, and the French players are also an idea - masters, what a ******!

Think about Fiorentina has always been an all-star team, but each player has different characteristics, and the pressure they create on the court is also different, so even if Vieira can adapt to Ling Feng's crazy breakthrough, he may not be able to take too much advantage of Figo and Giggs.

Then there's Redondo, Vieira's third meeting with him, and Vieira feels his threat isn't below Zidane's as a technical midfielder.

The French team also has a lot of advantages in high-altitude balls with the arrival of Pires and Trezeguet, and the ability of Henry and Djokaeff to grab points is not weak, plus Zidane and Pires passes......

In the twenty-first minute of the first half, Pires crossed diagonally from the left, Trezeguet's header rubbed back, and Henry followed up with a header to smash the ball into the opponent's goal!

3:2! The French team showed their strength as world champions and overtook the score!

At this time, the camera was focused on a few old men on the side, and Bailey smiled: "We can see that Sir Matthews is not willing to be lonely and ready to play, if he plays, I also want to play and watch ......"

Of course, it is a miracle that Uncle Ma, who is now 83 years old, can come all the way from England to Beijing, let alone play, and Bei Crow is also 58 years old this year, and Lao Ma can barely go up and kick, Uncle Bei will forget it, if you accidentally flash to the waist, then China is not easy to explain to the people of the world......

Stefano was chatting with his old friend Puskas on the sidelines, many of the players in the French team were no longer as active in running as in the first half, and most of the disappointed lineup was just on the pitch, so there was no need to worry about the fitness situation at all.

Stefano also led the team as a head coach and has a lot of experience, and he also knows that his side has a bigger advantage than France now, so he just conceded a goal but he is not too worried.

Sure enough, just four minutes later, Recoba scored a free kick to break through the door of the French team and turn the score into a 3-3 draw!

After the equaliser, Stefano made his final substitution, replacing defender Jorge •Costa with his compatriot Rui •Costa.

The formation of the disappointed lineup has changed to 3-5-2! And the two big players of the Fiorentina midfield organization are together!

Rui •Costa, Effenberg and Shepchenko in front of you are a combination that Fiorentina used to sweep across the continent last year!

It's true that these big-name stars are gathered together, and it's true that they don't have a tacit understanding in terms of cooperation, although they make up for it technically, but when teammates have some key opportunities, they may not be able to see them.

Now the Fiorentina trio has been formed, after a year of cooperation, the tacit understanding of the three of them can be said to be perfect, plus Giggs and Recoba's breakthrough on the wings - Giggs is a midfielder, as a left-footed player generally goes to the left side, and as a striker, Shepchenko in order to better cut into the penalty area, his range of activity is also on the left side.

By the same token, Figo and Recoba have a range of movement on the right flank, and they are the same kind of players with top breakthrough qualities!

Now the French team's backline must be careful at all times, because Giggs, Recoba, Shepchenko, and Figo are the kind of people who can break through and almost no one can stop them!

What's even more terrifying is that there is a Redondo behind them!

No one can forget that when Fiorentina and Real Madrid played last season, Redondo scored a stunning crotch ball on the wing, although most of the time he was on defense, but once he rushed up, the situation was really not good!

Many club owners are sighing, this lineup is everyone's dream lineup!

With the four top breakaways, as well as Effenberg and Rui•Costa's organization, plus Recoba behind them, there is hope that such a squad will compete for the World Cup - because their attack power is not even below Brazil!

Now the left side of the French team has become the main breakthrough point, Ligarazu is relatively weak in defense, Ling Feng chose him as a gap in the Sino-French battle, and now the same is true for Recoba and Figo as the main point of attack.

Even Thuram, on the other side, was uncomfortable, he could keep off his old team-mate Shepchenko, but he couldn't stop United's left-wing superstar Ryan Giggs.

Therefore, the French team can only move the defense closer to the middle, and then wait for the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack.

I have to say that Jacques specially adjusted this defensive counterattack team, once they played their original characteristics, even a few top superstars could not attack for a while, but were disturbed by the French team's two counterattacks in the backline.

In any case, there are six goals now, and if this result is maintained until the end, it will be considered a happy thing for everyone.

Both sides know this, after all, this is just a friendly match, there is no need to fight to the death, so in the current scene, if it is a game, it is better to say that there is more performance.

Zinedine Zidane played his absolute advantage in possession of the ball, and even Redondo was unable to handle the side ball.

Giggs's frenzy on the left flank was one of the biggest highlights on the pitch, as he was able to break through the defence of three top players in a row, Patrick Vieira, Desailly and Thuram, and more than once!

Although Recoba is a striker, his position is further back than Shepchenko, and the wonderful back-heel pass makes the fans' eyes shine, and for this Uruguayan teenager who looks like Chinese, the Chinese fans gave unhesitant applause as if he were his own family.

In the stands, Ling Feng smiled and said to Si Yue: "Fortunately, the Workers' Stadium has been renovated, and these turfs have reached the top standards in Europe, otherwise, I really don't have the face to let these guys play on the potholed grass before." ”

The two sides played very harmoniously, and it is worth mentioning that the referee on the field turned out to be Lu Jun, the golden whistle from China.

If you want to be a football power, you need to keep up with international standards in all aspects, not only players, coaches, medical staff and even referees, you need to have someone who can take a shot, so the pressure on Lu Jun in this game is very high, but fortunately, this is just a friendly match, and there is basically no big action on both sides.

There was a small climax in the final 10 minutes, starting with a series of dazzling combinations from the midfielders before Ryan Giggs broke down the left and slotted into the box, a shot from a tight angle saved by Barthez and Figo's header in the centre of the six-yard box to send the ball into the back of the net.

In stoppage time, Zinedine Zidane's dribble outside the box tore open a gap and then got up to the bottom of the net, and after the ball was blocked by Iguita, Djokaeff fell to the ground to level the scores.

4:4! The two sides shook hands and made peace.

This was a better ending, and after the game, players from both sides, including Lao Ma, Pele and others, came to the stadium to take a group photo.

Sky!

What a concept!

In the words of the next day's Football Newspaper, if a bomb hits the Gongti at this time, it will cause the loss of half of the world's top players......

A post-match photo became the hallmark of the next day in major European media, not to mention China.

There are four people in the group photo, from left to right — Bailey, Stefano, Puskas and Matthews, while Stefano and Puskas hold a large photograph — with a Chinese on it.

And the unified headline of all the media is - the five champions elected in the 70s!

That's right! The person in the photo in the middle is the Chinese football king in the 2nd and 30s - Li Huitang!

This photo is incomparably precious, even the old horse can't get in, the five ball kings selected that year, now four foreigners are standing on the land of China, holding the photo of the deceased Li Lao Ball King, this scene shocked everyone.

Maybe many people, including many Chinese, don't know who Li Huitang is, and we have discarded too much for some traditional cultures.

This time, Ling Feng followed the handle of FIFA and began to threaten, and the first step is to expand China's influence in world football!

Even if he won the fourth place in the World Cup, people thought that there was only one Ling Feng in the Chinese team, which Ling Feng did not want to see.

And now, Chinese football is no longer simply pursuing the development and progress of players, but the moment when the entire football culture is improving at the same time!
