Chapter 16: Fetish Defense
The atmosphere in the dressing room was not as heavy as expected, the romantic nature of the French and the not-so-bad score kept them nervous at all, and Vieira was even in the mood to tell a few adult jokes.
On the contrary, Lothi's face looked a little solemn, and Materazzi was about to turn the gun around, he didn't know if this was good news or bad news.
On the bright side, he will finally stop harassing Zidane, and the purpose of this mission is to keep Zidane from being sent off with a red card; The downside is that if he is sent off first, and then he turns around and finishes Zidane, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
Luo Weixi felt that he should prepare a way to deal with it first.
At this time, Henry the Great came over again, although Henry was not the captain, but he still took good care of his juniors.
Henry handed him a bottle of water and comforted him very kindly, saying, "Calm down, endless worries are like shackles that bind your hands and feet, it will degrade your abilities, and you must face it bravely." ”
"I'm really looking at ......" Rowwich was thinking hard about what to do, and he didn't really want to deal with Henry.
Henry didn't seem to notice, sat down next to Rovich, and continued his literary tone: "You have to believe that when everyone can face up to their weaknesses, we are invincible Gallic roosters. Materazzi, a man who only knows how to defend passively, is unable to pose any threat to the Gallic Roosters.
"A man who only knows how to defend passively?" Luo Weixi looked up suddenly.
The emperor's words made him feel like an enlightenment: Why should I be a person who only knows how to defend passively? Why should I passively wait for Materazzi to provoke? I should take the initiative!
As for how to attack, isn't there a saying like this: Giving back to the other in the other way, you Materazzi likes to greet people's parents and provoke people, then I will use this trick to salute you, and see who can't hold their breath first! Yes, that's it. Rovich decided to tell Henry the Great what he thought and see what better advice the Emperor could have.
He leaned against Henry and whispered: "Emperor, I have a very bold idea, I don't know if you approve of it?" ”
Henry calmly made a "please" gesture.
Luo Weixi said: "My idea is, Materazzi didn't want to get me off, then I just struck first and got him off first." ”
As soon as he heard this, Henry's forehead instantly wrinkled into a bun, and he squinted his eyes and said with some disdain: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, when you lower your legs, what remains in the stretcher will only be resentment, but what remains in your heart is endless condemnation, do you want to carry such a heavy shackle for the rest of your life?" ”
Luo Weixi knew that Henry was wrong, thinking that he was going to get blackfoot, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I mean, doesn't he like to spew trash talk, then I'll squirt with him, I want to see who squirts who first!" ”
I thought that such a gentle person as Henry would definitely oppose it, but I didn't expect him to be uncharacteristic this time, and actually said with a smile: "I admit in my heart that this is a very good way." Out of loyalty to the team and responsibility to my teammates, I have to tell you that we have one of those experts in the team. ”
"Who?"
Henry raised his finger and pointed at a black and hard one at the other end of the common room, Vieira.
Vieira had finished his adult jokes, and was leaning against the wall with his middle finger picking his nostrils, melancholy filling his eyes.
After a moment of relief, he increased the volume of the foreign object that had just protruded from his nostrils by nearly a third of the size of his middle finger and gently wiped it on the back of Thuram's crisp white jersey. WHEN THE HAND WAS RETRACTED, THE LETTERS "THURAM" ON THE BACK OF THE THURAM JERSEY CHANGED TO "THUBAM".
Thuram sensed movement behind him and turned his head with a friendly smile. Seeing that the person behind him was Vieira, the smile suddenly froze in his eyes, and there was almost no hesitation, and he immediately bounced at least three meters away.
Seeing that Thuram was prepared, Vieira decided to switch targets. He walked to Zidane's side, calmly stretched out this hand to Zidane's bald head, and after a period of lover-like rubbing, his eyes were firmly on Zidane and said: "Come on man, we must take down the Italians." ”
"Well, let's do it together." Zidane's eyes were filled with warmth, and his two large hands were clasped tightly together.
Rovich rubbed his sour stomach and gave up on asking Vieira for advice.
"If there are only two people in the world who can control Materazzi, Vieira is definitely one of them." These were Henry's last words to Rovich before he walked out of the dressing room.
The fifteen-minute break was fast in and the second half continued.
According to the discussions between Domenech, Zidane and others during the break, they all agreed that the front three of Rovich, Malouda and Thierry Henry the Great would switch positions flexibly as needed in the second half. This is good news for Rovich, as he will have more opportunities to speak directly with Materazzi.
However, as soon as Luo Weixi started to find that he had been tricked, Materazzi's target was not himself at all, he had been clinging to Zidane almost all the time since the whistle, and he faced the most Gattuso, the midfielder who was in the position.
Gattuso is nicknamed the butcher, and his kung fu Luo Weixi saw it in the 02 World Cup. This man has a beard and a lack of brains, but his will is as strong as the People's Army north of the 38th parallel. Whether it was a black foot or a black whistle, or a provocation from the other side, these tricks had no effect in front of him.
He always plays for one purpose: to protect his own defence and to destroy the opponent's ball at all costs.
Less than 10 minutes into the game, Gattuso had already broken the French ball four times, including one when the Italian coach and Rovich tackled him to the bench and received a verbal warning from the referee.
Even more worrying was that at the other end of the pitch, Materazzi began to entangle Zinedine Zidane.
In the short ten minutes that Luo Weixi was grappled, the two men were barely separated, and Materazzi's mouth was even more nagging like a perpetual motion machine. Zidane's reaction was equally unreassuring, as Rovich saw him irritably make a shut up gesture to Materazzi.
Things didn't look good and a reaction had to be made, and Rovich made a gesture to Thierry Henry, who was cruising in the middle, signaling the two to switch tactics, and he decided to single out Materazzi in the middle.
Henry cooperated well to give way to the middle.
After the switch, the two sides made two high-speed offensive and defensive transitions, and then Rovich found that there was a problem again: Zidane's mentality seemed to start to get out of control, he was no longer as selfless as in the first half, and he became alone. Every time the ball reached his feet, it basically turned into a one-on-one heads-up between him and Materazzi.
Materazzi in 2006 was already thirty-three years old and staggeringly experienced, how could he be stupid enough to go head-to-head with Zidane?
He knows that he can't defend against Zidane alone, so every time he forms a heads-up, his choice is to defend and retreat, and never grab it with his feet. When another central defender, Cannavaro, came up to fill in and form a local numerical advantage, the two pressed Zidane together. Then, Qi Bald's possession of the ball was naturally lost.
In this way, after more than ten minutes of playing in different positions, Rovich couldn't receive any pass from Zidane.
Gattuso was not idle, and after the change, his position was closer to Luo Weixi, so he simply put all his energy on Luo Weixi, almost not leaving an inch, like a piece of sticky mouse glue.
Rovich was sticked, in fact, it also reduced his ball-holding opportunities in disguise, giving Zidane more excuses to play one-on-one with Materazzi. This creates a vicious circle, where Zidane's mind is getting hotter and hotter, while here Rovich has nothing to do, and even he feels a little anxious.
He suddenly had an epiphany: people say that the Italians defend as a chain defense, but in fact they are wrong, this is not a chain defense, but a love defense, just like men and women in love, who are constantly grudging each other day and night.
Distance can produce beauty, I don't want to fall in love with Gattuso, this is the true portrayal of Luo Weixi's heart at that time.
The effort paid off, and after the two sides fell in love until the twenty-five minutes of the second half, the opportunity finally came: a no-ball run by Thierry Henry the Great caused a blocking foul on Grosso, France won a free-kick from the edge of the box, and Gattuso was forced to temporarily part ways with Rovich.
Just as Rovich was about to take the free kick, Zidane hurriedly ran over and pushed him away, signaling that the free kick should be taken by himself.
It would be unwise to fight the boss for a free-kick, and Rovich obediently relinquished the penalty and planted himself in the Italian team's wall to take on the task of demolishing the wall. When he stood up and raised his head, he saw a familiar figure: next to him in the wall was none other than Materazzi, who had temporarily broken up with Zidane.
The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, at the edge of the human wall......
Happiness came too suddenly, don't blame me for my stinky mouth, those who insult people will always humiliate them, you kid is finished. Luo Weixi let out a sinister laugh and began to search his mind for quotations from various forum posts - especially about his immediate family.
This material is so abundant that it is inexhaustible, and after some careful selection, Rovich made his choice, and then gently touched Materazzi's arm.
Materazzi lowered his head and looked at the Frenchman in front of him, who was 23 centimeters shorter than himself, and then heard Rovich say in French with a thick Boulogne accent: "You! Mother! Explode! Finish! ”
