"Doodoo-"

Jack looked at his watch, adjusted the time, and blew the whistle for the start of the game.

It's completely different from a lot of other heavyweight competitions.

The more heavyweight the match, the more cautious both sides will be. So proportionally, the more heavyweight the game, the more ugly the game will be. It's not that the game is not technical, but because both sides are careful, so there will be few highlights.

This is one of the biggest problems in a lot of heavyweight divisions.

In recent years, many knockout rounds of the Champions League have had this problem, including the World Cup knockout round and the European Cup knockout round.

It makes many people lament that the current game is getting more and more ugly, and lamenting that the game is becoming less and less attractive.

But there was no such problem in this game.

France and Portugal didn't have any temptation at all, and it should be said that both sides were too familiar with their opponents to need some temptation. Therefore, after the start of the game, the two sides directly entered the stage of bayonet red, and the game was very good after the start of the game.

The pace of the game was very fast-paced.

This is Jack's fifth game in this World Cup, but it is the first time to enforce such a high-confrontation and high-tempo game. It's completely different from the World Cup semi-finals that Jack imagined.

You come and go very lively, and both sides are frequently creating murderous opportunities.

"Henry, Henry's long pass...... Malouda bursts into the box and Malouda volleys! It's a shame that the ball went just a little wide of the post. ”

"Figo, cross...... Deco, Deco shoots from a distance! Barthez saves the ball. Pauletta made a follow-up shot, oops, Pauletta didn't catch up. Sagnol stuck the position. Barthez holds the ball in his arms. ”

"Cristiano. Ronaldo, his sudden inward cut. Completely shook off Sagnol. Cristiano. Ronaldo, gave the ball back to Maniche. Maniche shoots from distance! The ball hits high. ”

"Figo, Figo broke down the right flank...... Figo, cross! Thuram cleared, the ball was too dangerous. Thuram has made a meritorious service, otherwise he would have Pauletta behind him. And it's very easy to get an own goal. ”

"Henry, smash, another smash. Miguel was completely stunned, and Henry shook Miguel away. Henry. Pass...... Henry's beautiful dribble, but the final pass was too small and the angle was not good. ”

Threat.

All kinds of threatening passes, all kinds of shots.

Rather than fighting hard in midfield, both teams moved quickly through midfield and then created chances in the opposition half. Overall, though, France dominated the midfield, while Portugal frequently used counter-attacks to create chances.

Especially the two wings.

Cristiano. Ronaldo and the old and strong Figo, the two of them frequently attacked the two flanks of France. Create a large number of threats. Figo is even tougher. Breaking down the right, dribbling, crossings were all excellent.

And Cristiano. Ronaldo's impact is very strong.

'Ribery, Ribery got the ball. Ribery turns, Portugal blocks Ribery. Ribery passes the ball and hands it to Malouda. Malouda. Pass! ”

Fast.

France aren't the kind of team that play fast-paced, but that doesn't mean they won't play fast. On the contrary, their players want to be fast and fast. Because the French players have good skills, passing, and coordination. This time it was.

First Ribery used his individual qualities to attract the Portuguese players, and then when the attention of the Portuguese defenders came to him. Soon the ball was passed to Malouda.

Similarly, Malouda did not control the ball at his feet, but quickly moved the ball. It was handed to Henry on the edge of the box.

"Henry, Henry's right foot outside the instep cross. Henry shook off Carvalho...... Henry, Henry was shoveled. ”

As soon as Henry received the ball, he observed Carvalho's position.

After a pause, when Carvalho came to defend, Henry immediately flicked the ball sideways with the outside of his right foot to avoid Carvalho's tackle. Then he did not immediately dodge Carvalho, but paused before jumping.

Carvalho's right foot didn't touch Henry, but Carvalho, who had lost his center of gravity, raised his left foot and hooked Henry.

Henry immediately fell to the ground.

"Toot-"

The moment Henry fell to the ground, Jack's whistle sounded.

This ball Henry is smart.

Almost waiting for Carvalho to foul and then fall to the ground on his own.

'The referee pointed to the penalty spot, which was a penalty. The referee decided it was a penalty, and with 33 minutes played, France won a penalty. ”

Jack's decision immediately caused dissatisfaction among everyone in the Portuguese team.

Including Scolari.

The Portuguese players immediately surrounded him, muttering that Henry was faking a fall. However, when Jack saw the Portuguese players coming around, he was already constantly retreating.

Of course, Jack's retreat is not a straight retreat, but a semi-circular circular retreat.

As he retreated, Jack pointed at Figo and told him to come alone. To the other Portuguese players, Jack waved his hand and told them not to come. While watching the Portugal match at the World Cup, Jack found that the Portuguese players were very good at putting pressure on the referee.

When some unfavourable decisions come out, the Portuguese players will instantly gather around and express their opinions to the referee.

Referees are also people.

Suddenly surrounded by many people, bombarded by their gossip, some different ideas will also appear. I will think that I am wrong, or shake my original judgment, etc.

Even if the verdict is not changed, the whistle will be very careful in the future.

This is a typical trick for referees.

This is not a spur of the moment, but a completely targeted arrangement. Presumably Scolari's set-up, specifically for the referee's set-up.

It was because Jack had studied carefully before the game, so when the Portuguese players came, they were already prepared. So keep retreating, and then let the Portuguese players spread out and don't come.

"Luiz, you're the captain of Portugal. Now you let your players disperse immediately, and if anyone continues to surround you, I can only treat you as the besieging referee. If you have any comments to tell me, if you have anything to complain about, it is enough to have you as the captain of the team and the players in question. If the other players come back again, I will treat him as a siege referee and as a pressure referee. All are yellow card actions. ”

Jacqua stopped Figo and gave Figo a serious warning.

One or two players complained to Jack first because of the proximity, and Jack didn't care about this kind of thing. Players are human beings and it's understandable to complain to the referee when you're angry.

But the last thing Jack can forgive is that the players treat pressure on the referee as a tactic.

Several players gathered around and put pressure on the referee, which Jack hated the most.

Figo saw Jack's serious face and shook his hand at the players behind him, telling them not to come. Then he said to Jack: "Jack. Judge Li, that one just now was a fake fall, Henry's fake fall. His fall was exaggerated. Didn't you see him just waiting there to fall? ”

Originally, according to the Portuguese players, they had just asked a group of people to come over and shout that it was offside.

But he was sent away by Jack, and Figo was left. Figo, of course, tried to complain to Jack as calmly as possible. Jack shook his head, then said to Figo: "Luis, you are a veteran player, you know clearly whether it is a foul or a penalty. Henry was even suspicious of finding a penalty, but Carvalho's foot hooked Henry was indisputable. It's a penalty and nothing will change. ”

"Now you go back and appease your teammates. I don't want them to play the next game with emotions that will be even worse for you. As for penalties, there were no problems. ”

Jack chased Figo away and then asked the Portuguese players who were not leaving the box to leave as soon as possible. Then blow the whistle again and it means it's a penalty.

'Penalty, it's a penalty. If we look at the replay, Carvalho's left foot did hook Henry, and there was nothing wrong with the penalty. Coach Scolari doesn't need to be so angry because it's a penalty. ”

After watching the replay, the commentator replied in the affirmative, this is a penalty.

"Zidane, it looks like Zidane is the one who took the ball."

"Zinedine Zidane, shoot!"

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"One to zero, one to zero. France took a 1-0 lead over Portugal thanks to Zinedine Zidane's penalty. Zidane and Henry have always worked very well together in the national team, and some people even think that the two of them are incompatible. But the cooperation between the two people in this World Cup is getting better and better. It was Zidane's assist in the last game, and Thierry Henry's goal eliminated Brazil. Now it's a change, a penalty created by Henry, and Zidane scores. France wants to go further, and it needs more cooperation between the two of them. ”

"But the young referee of the game, Jack . Lee, really a very decisive referee. In a game like the semi-finals, it takes courage to award a penalty. But Jack. Referee Li can be so resolute that this is a penalty, which is really worthy of recognition and praise. ”

The commentators were praising them, but the Portuguese fans kept booing Jake.

It is believed that the ball just now is a fake fall by Henry.

'The Portugal team who were behind started the onslaught and they were hoping to equalise. Deco, Deco took two steps with the ball, and no one from the French team came to stop him. Deco, long shot! Barthez saves the ball. ”

'Figo, Figo got the ball on the right. Figo, Figo crosses...... Cristiano. Ronaldo, Cristiano. Ronaldo falls to the ground. Cristiano. Ronaldo collapsed in the box. ”

"Toot-"

"The referee's whistle blew. Could it be that in three minutes, Jack. Referee Lee wants to award two penalties? (To be continued......)
