Chapter 372: After the game

Pereira attended the press conference with a flushed face.

If he just wins normally, it is estimated that he will not be in such a good mood.

But the team fell behind twice, equalized twice, and finally reversed to win, such ups and downs, the heart-wrenching game process, he once thought that the team had lost the hope of qualifying, but in the end he ate the sweet fruit.

Therefore, he is now like he has drunk too much old wine, and his steps are floating.

"France played very well today and caused more problems than I thought," Pereira said, "especially Zinedine Zidane, who is a great player, I used to think he was 34 years old and his form must have dropped badly, but he gave me a blow to the head. He's amazing! ”

"We did a lot of preparation before the game, but we still underestimated the strength of the French team, which led to the team falling behind twice, and the responsibility lies with me," Pereira admitted his mistake, "Without Ronaldo, the team would have been affected more than expected. I'm not saying that Ricardo and Adriano aren't outstanding, but they and Ronaldo are different types of players. ”

"I'm happy with Licardo's game tonight. He's just turned 20 and he's going to lead the team to two or three more World Cups. He is a gem of the Brazilian team. Adriano was also outstanding, and although he didn't score, he fulfilled his tactical duty and contributed to the team. ”

"I chose Juninho Jr. to start because he played in Ligue 1, he was familiar with the French players and he had the quality to be in this Brazilian team. I brought him off at half-time because the team had changed tactics and I needed a stronger guy to get up front, so I let Ronaldinho drop back and bring on Adriano. ”

"Why not Robinho? Edmilson? Ricardinho lived up to my expectations, he still works very well with Kaka and Ricardo and that's why I put him on the pitch. It turns out I made the right choice. ”

"It was a thrilling race and I thought we were going to be knocked out. But the lads played really well to get us through the game. Thank God and thank you to the hard working lads. ”

When it was Domenech's turn to speak, his words were full of regret.

'Congratulations to Brazil, they played really well and they deserved to be in the last four. We played well but made mistakes at the last minute. ”

"Ricardo is brilliant and I don't know how to describe him. When he took advantage of the ball in the 88th minute to create a penalty, I thought I saw Pele back on the pitch. ”

"The penalty? Nothing to say. I respect the referee's decision. There were some decisions in this game that were not good for us, but that's football, I don't think the referee was against us, and the wrong decisions are part of football. "You can hear his resentment and it's clear that he's not convinced by the defeat to Brazil.

'Zinedine Zidane put on a great game and it would have been better if in the end we had won. I'm sorry to hear that he's going to retire and I'll try to persuade him to change his mind. He's totally going to play for another 10 years! He's a great player to stand alongside Ronaldo, and they're all unstoppable talents on the pitch. ”

'Frankly, if Ronaldo had been on the pitch today, we would have lost even more ugly. He is a true miracle. Ricardo was not yet at his height. ”

Although he did not explicitly say that he would resign, Domenech has also expressed the idea of leaving. 'Obviously I didn't have enough preparation and I didn't bring this French team to the heights they deserved. I regret that. We deserve to be in the final, great players like Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry deserve to be in the final. ”

Although the competition ended, it left people with too much to talk about.

The wonderful play of Ricardo and Zinedine Zidane, the collision between the two generations.

Pereira's magical substitution changed the course of the game.

Three Ricardo came on at the same time to make a difference for the team.

The 20-year-old has been so strong, scoring three goals and providing three assists in three games, is it possible for him to win this year's Ballon d'Or.

Ronaldinho's magic is no longer there, although he scored a penalty and had a few flashes in the game, but the overall performance was relatively mediocre, when will the Ballon d'Or find his form?

Adriano, 24, behaved like a 30-year-old, tired and out of shape. He was once known as Ronaldo's successor, how long will it take for him to mature and really take over Ronaldo's class?

Kaka is still playing well, is he Brazil's next World Footballer of the Year?

On the French side, Zinedine Zidane, Patrick Vieira and Thuram are all dying, and Thierry Henry and Trezeguet are also close together, and they will almost certainly not be able to participate in the next World Cup. Who in the French team will take their guns?

Franck Ribery has been impressive, but can he be Zinedine Zidane's successor and the heart of the French team for the next decade?

There is a gap in the talent of the French team, who should bear this pot?

In the next World Cup, regardless of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho is only 30 years old, Kaka and Adriano are only 28 years old, and Ricardo is only 24 years old, they will all be at their peak, if they meet again, can anyone in the French team compete with them?

There's so much to talk about in the media.

And compared to the match between Germany and Argentina the night before, this match was more dramatic and exciting.

It is widely believed in the media that the German team will be more than lucky if they meet one of the Brazilian and French teams.

However, Germany's next match will be against Italy. The German media appear to be more optimistic, with Serie A being mired in a phonegate scandal, with the Italian team's core players mainly coming from Juventus and AC Milan, two of the most heavily criticized teams in the phonegate.

The German media believe that the players of the Italian team will definitely be affected to a certain extent and will not be able to play to their maximum ability.

The Italian team's attacking ability has also been criticized, and it has not played a crushing victory until now, has not shown a strong team style, and gives people the feeling that they have been stumbling through.

Most people believe that the final will be played between Germany and Brazil.

And will Germany be Brazil's opponents?

Klose is in excellent form, Ballack is in his prime, Schweinsteiger, Frings, Schneider, Lahm, Hutter and Mertesacker are enjoying the best years of their careers, and they are desperate to avenge the 2002 World Cup final, but can they overcome Brazil with a magical quartet?
