The goal was just one minute away from Croatia's goal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was Thuram's first goal for the national team, but his celebration didn't last long, he knew his team needed to win and a draw didn't make sense.

Croatia, on the other hand, strengthened their defence after conceding a goal and dropped back significantly, feeling as if they were trying to hold on to the draw.

In the 70th minute, Thuram stepped forward with an assist and wanted to make a one-two combination with Henry, but was tackled by the Croatian player. However, Thuram did not give up, made a successful counter-tackle in the top right corner of the penalty area, and shot directly with his foot on goal.

The ball shot so suddenly that the goalkeeper didn't have time to react, and the score on the field became 2:1.

In the end, France relied on Thuram's two flashes to make it to the final. In fact, Thuram has scored these two goals in his entire national team career, but these two goals are enough for him to brag about for a lifetime. This is called making steel and using it on the blade.

However, there is also a regret in this game, that is, Blanco was sent off with a red card and will not be able to participate in the final.

France's opponents in the final were Brazil, who eliminated the Netherlands on penalties in the semi-finals to reach the final.

Brazil have also had a smooth start this year, making it all the way to the final as the defending champions, except for the Netherlands, who have caused them some problems.

However, Brazil's leader Ronaldo has been in average form in this tournament, scoring four goals so far, although there are many of them, but he has not shown his true colors as the world's No. 1 striker. And three hours before the game, when Ronaldo's name was not on the list, Brazil decided that Ronaldo would continue to be the starter before the game started. The grapevine is that Ronaldo has an injury, others say that he has food poisoning, and so on messages are spreading.

For Brazil, Vincent's advice to Jacques is set-pieces, Vincent still has a deep impression of this game in history, and Zidane's two headers put him on the road to the top.

The final was still held at the Stade de France, with a simple closing ceremony before the final showdown between Brazil and France.

The French team took the bus from Clairefontaine to the stadium all the way, and there were welcoming enthusiastic fans on both sides of the road, and of course, police cars and motorcycles were indispensable to open the road. The momentum overshadowed the visits of foreign leaders.

Jacques Chirac also came to Clairefontaine the day before the game to give a speech, congratulating the team on reaching the final, and looking forward to the final and hoping for a good result.

After seeing Fan Shang, he also asked Fan Shang if he could go to the scene to see it. Vincent's answer was exactly the same as it was at the French Cup, if you don't feel like you've lost, whatever. Chirac smiled, thinking that Bordeaux won the Champions Cup after saying this sentence at that time, so what about France after saying this sentence now? So Chirac was smiling when he left.

Today's starting line-up of both teams was of course the strongest lineup, Brazil lined up a 442 formation, goalkeeper Taffarel, four defenders: Kraft, Aldair, Bayano, Robert Carlos, midfielder, Dunga, Sampaio, Leonardo, Rivaldo, forwards, Ronaldo and Bebeto. Brazil's head coach is veteran coach Zagallo.

France is of course also the strongest squad they can come up with, goalkeeper Barthez, four defenders, Lizarazu, Desailly, Leboeuf and Thuram, midfielder, Petit, Karembo, Deschamps, Zidane and Djokaeff, single arrow Papin.

In this game, Jacques consulted with the coaching staff and adopted a slightly more aggressive style of play at the suggestion of Vincent, and Karembo's attacking ability was significantly better than that of Makellele.

Before the start of the game, the national anthems of the two countries should be played as usual, and in order to increase the cohesion of the team in the finals, when the national anthem was sung, all of them stood in a row with their shoulders hooked.

Although Blanco can't play in this game today, the routine bald head action of every game still has to be done, and Barthez deliberately ran to the bench to complete this action with Blanco.

"Let's take a look at the bench now, and France's substitute goalkeeper Rama deliberately lifted his clothes to reveal a T-shirt that he might have something special. Further on, we saw Blanco, Pire, this yellow-skinned guy like us is called Vincent, who may not be familiar to some viewers, he is the assistant coach of the French team and the head coach of Bordeaux, the winner of this year's European Champions Cup. "Of course, Celestial Empire TV also came to broadcast this game live, and this is their introduction to Fan Shang." Although he is not Chinese, we had contact with Bordeaux when he came to play in our Celestial Empire last year, and he is definitely a native of the Celestial Empire, who speaks the Celestial Empire better than us, and even speaks a lot of local dialects. At this time, the commentary of the Celestial Dynasty TV station called Sun Ping said.

"Yes, Vincent is also a successful manager in Europe, winning the quadruple crown two years in a row, the Ligue 1 title, the French Cup, the French League Cup, as well as the UEFA Cup and the European Champions Cup, all of which are the honors that Vincent has led Bordeaux to achieve. Now in the French national team, there is a good chance that they can still win the World Cup! Another commentator, Huang Xiang, became more and more excited, "If Fan Shang can come back to coach our national team, I don't know what it will be like?" Also, I heard that Fan Shang recommended Li Gang to go to this year's French League runner-up Lens last year, but in the end, it seems that he did not negotiate with Jianlibao, and in the end this matter is over, it seems that Fan Shang is still more concerned about our Celestial Empire football. ”

"Let's get back to business, let's come and watch the game" Sun Ping saw that Huang Xiang was far away, so he pulled the topic back to the game.

Then the game began, Papin received a long pass from the back in the first minute and tiptoed in the penalty area, which was the first shot of the game, although there was no goal, but it showed the determination of the French team.

In the 5th minute, it was Papin again, who received a pass from Zidane in the penalty area and shot between two Brazilian central defenders, but unfortunately hit the post and was quickly kicked out of the penalty area by Tafarel, who had a good second reaction.

In the 18th minute, Brazil got a chance to take a corner kick, Leonardo took a corner kick, Sampaio actually jumped up to head the goal when no one was marked in the penalty area, if it wasn't for the goalkeeper Barthez standing accurately, France was really dangerous this time.

"Keep an eye on your own people!" Jacques shouted as he patted the notebook in his hand.
