After the players of both teams stood in their positions, under the shouts of 70,000 fans in the audience, the referee Corina blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Taking advantage of the time when the two teams were trying to attack at the beginning of the game, Sky TV commentator Graham also led the topic to the aspects that fans are interested in, "According to Portuguese media reports, before the game, the youngster Alen. Wang guessed the result of the game three times in a row, and even one was a big upset, and before this game, he also vowed that England would win, and we sincerely hope that his prediction will come true. ”

At this time, the camera of Sky TV also switched to the bench of the England team, and I saw that Wang Li was holding his chin with one hand, as if he was looking at the field in a daze, "Look at Allen's expression, as if he doesn't care about the game at all, is he really confident?" ”

"But speaking of which, Wayne Rooney and Allen are known as England's twin stars, I really hope to see them play together soon, the combination of these two players represents England's attacking power for the next decade, you know, they are not yet 20 years old, we even..."

Saying this, Graham suddenly stopped, "Look, dangerous, the breakthrough of the French team's right-back Gala, the kick cross!" … Fortunately, Cole broke the siege in time, otherwise it would have been really dangerous! ”

…………

Just two minutes into the game, Galla broke down the right and was about to cross before Ashley Cole cleared the line and France won a corner on the right side of the net.

Pire walked to the corner flagpole and took a corner, Rooney pressed Henry and jumped to block the ball out of the box, but the ball fell to Zidane's feet.

Zinedine Zidane, who is 32 years old this year, has won almost all the honors in football: World Footballer of the Year, France's Most Popular Player, Champions League Player, Hercules Cup, etc., and even won the European Player of the Year award this year, and his skills are definitely comparable to these honors.

I saw that Zidane did not rush to cross after getting the ball, but took the ball forward, facing the two defenders of the England team, he suddenly stepped on the ball with his left foot, and then completed a turn in the air vigorously, after falling to the ground, his right foot rubbed next to the ball, and the ball passed between Kim's feet, and Zidane's body twisted and chased the ball again.

Marseille slalom + crotch over!

Zidane, who is over 30 years old, has won unanimous applause from the fans in this series of wonderful actions, and he is really a master of art on the football field!

Zinedine Zidane dribbled to the edge of the penalty area and made a through pass, the ball was handed to Galla's feet, Galla knocked back, and Vieira received the ball. Vieira was 20 meters in front of the goal, taking advantage of the England team's time to return, raised his right foot and shot directly at the goal, but perhaps he had not yet found the feeling of shooting, and the ball hit the plane directly.

…………

From the beginning, the French team launched a series of attacks around the England goal, and from the perspective of the field, England was almost helpless, and the hearts of the fans kept on their minds, perhaps they were ready to experience another defeat after too many defeats.

In the twelfth minute, Makelele crossed diagonally from the left, and Zidane volleyed with his right foot from 25 meters in front of the goal, and the ball went wide of the right post.

Just two minutes later, Patrick Vieira picked up the ball on the right and crossed diagonally into the box, where Trezeguet broke free from King's defence and flicked his head from the penalty spot as it flew over the crossbar.

In the 18th minute, Claude Makelele broke through a stoppage on the left flank to get rid of Frank Lampard, who had team-mate at the club, and fired a right-footed shot high on the edge of the box.

In the 20th minute, Galla and Pire collided with a low cross from the right, and Campbell shoveled the ball out of the bottom line by the post. Pire's corner from the right was cleared but it was at the feet of Makelele, who fired a low left-footed shot from 20 yards but it hit the defender.

Although the ball kept circling around England at the back, the French players really didn't seem to have shooting boots today, and in the first 20 minutes, all the shots on goal were missed, and none of them hit the woodwork, but this also worried Eriksen on the sidelines.

"We are confident that we can defeat all opponents!" Eriksen had said this before the game, but no one expected that England would face a strong defending champion in the first game, and the game was about to be lost after more than 20 minutes of play.

…………

However, anything is possible on the football field, and the England team is by no means a soft persimmon, not something that can be taken lightly, the French team did not score in the opening wave of attack, and the England team then launched a ferocious counterattack.

In the 25th minute of the game, Scholes broke Pire's breakthrough at the back, made a long pass directly, and prepared to counterattack, Gerrard cut into the penalty area on the left side after winning the ball, and was about to shoot, but was very clean by Gala to shovel the ball out of the bottom line.

Just three minutes later, Scholes fired a right-footed shot straight from the box that grazed the post and flew off the line.

In the thirty-eighth minute, Gary. Neville's through ball from the right was brought down by Lizarazu behind him, and England were awarded a free-kick on the right side of the box.

This free kick position makes the French players nervous, what is Beckham's famous stunt, as long as some people with football common sense know, it is a curve free kick, and there is a nickname called "Beckham's arc", and the position of this goal is exactly the position that Beckham is best at!

Wang Li on the bench also kept an eye on the ball, full of expectations for Beckham, who was ready to take a free kick on the field. He is not interested in Zidane's football art, from a technical point of view, although he can not reach the height of Zidane's arbitrary, but if he explodes internal force, it is not difficult to pass, but free kicks are his weakness, he has always been very envious of that kind of beautiful arc free kicks, but it is difficult to kick that kind of ball in practice alone, let alone in the game.

After the French players lined up the wall, Beckham took two steps, looked in the direction of the goal, and swung his right foot and kicked the ball. To most people's surprise, the ball didn't go straight to the goal, but to the front of the box, where Frank Lampard was!

Frank Lampard jumped in front of Silvestre and headed in the left-hand corner from seven yards!

'Lampard, it's Lampard!!' gooooooooo………… al！！ The ball is in!! England led 1-0, this goal, this goal ended the French team's record of more than 1,000 consecutive minutes of clean sheets, Beckham, Lampard, they worked together very tacitly! I can't believe that one of them is in the Premier League and the other is in La Liga! After England scored, Graham was very excited, constantly shouting that for England television, this kind of commentary on the game is not a neutral surname.

Wang Li squinted slightly at the players celebrating on the field, and shook his head helplessly, although he wanted to play in the game, but he didn't want the England team to be passive, it was really a dilemma for the substitutes.

But at this time, Eriksen pointed to the bench and nodded to Hargreaves, Wang Li turned his head to look at the field suspiciously, Scholes was limping towards the bench, he seemed to be injured.

In the 43rd minute of the game, England made a substitution, with Hargreaves replacing Paul Scholes, who had been injured in the game.
