The French team declined media interviews and they were preparing for the upcoming match. This is strange to the outside world, and the journalists whisper.

"Tang didn't even say anything this time, it's too rare!"

"Yes, don't they have the confidence to defeat Russia?"

Someone disagrees with them: "No, I think they are cautious, they don't want Russia to be a dark horse, they don't want the myth of the previous one to appear." ”

Some people shook their heads, feeling that they didn't make bold statements before the game, which was not in line with Tang Jue's character, and there must be something wrong with the French team, because it was too abnormal.

"Is there something wrong with France?"

Everyone began to speculate that this time France's behavior was too abnormal, and even Tang Jue did not accept an interview, and there must be something wrong here.

"That's right! Something must be wrong with them! ”

"Could it be that Don and Domenech have a conflict......"

"It's possible that until now, Real Madrid have not explained the reason for Schuster's resignation, Don is very domineering in the dressing room, and he is very likely to have a conflict with Domenech."

"Yes, the Russian team is not strong, Don should advocate a big attack, and Domenech is cautious, and the two have a tactical disagreement, so they ......"

Human imagination is terrifying, and writers use this imagination to write brilliant masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages, and scientists use this imagination to discover the laws of nature through rigorous experiments and calculations. Journalists use this imagination to speculate on things that are not normal.

The crowd used their imagination to speculate on the so-called "truth", and their words became more and more daring.

"Will things happen in '06? The French often do things that are unthinkable. Maybe I'll have a good show tonight! ”

"Yes, after the conflict between Don and Schuster, didn't he stand on the sidelines and command the game, maybe it may appear tonight!"

"That's right, Anelka is not ......"

A voice brought these bold speculations to an abrupt halt.

"There are no problems within the French team and there will be no situations like the ones you mentioned. They didn't give interviews, and that's because they had to concentrate on preparing for the game. Joseph exclaimed, he could not stand these companions of his own.

When the reporters found out that the person who spoke was Joseph, they became enthusiastic, and the man had a good personal relationship with Don. They were to find out from Joseph's mouth what was going on in the Devil's mouth.

"I'm just like you. Nothing is known. Joseph said embarrassedly.

"Cut! Since nothing is known. Why did you just say all that stuff? ”

"You guy is so unauthentic, I told you about Harvey the other day......"

"The day before yesterday I gave you information on several Russian players......"

The crowd expressed their displeasure, and Joseph turned red and immediately apologized to them. He really didn't know the news of Tang Jue. But. Who believes!

……

Twenty-seventh. Russian Pravda published a message: "Tonight, the Ernst Haple Stadium in Vienna will host the semi-final between Russia and France. Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the invitation of the President of Austria, will fly to Vienna today. He is going to cheer for the Russian players on the spot! ”

As soon as this news was released, it caused a lot of discussion. Russian fans are very excited, and they believe that the president personally oversees the game, increasing the team's chances of doing wonders. There are also Russians who are not satisfied, who believe that the president is wasting taxpayers' money by going to watch a football match live.

The reaction of the French fans was lukewarm, believing that even if Mr. Putin was there to watch the game, it would not be able to change the outcome of the game. France TV said: "Football matches are about strength, skills and tactics, and fighting spirit, and Mr. Putin's visit to the scene to watch the game can indeed increase the fighting spirit of Russian players, but they are inferior to the French team in terms of strength and tactics." ”

The implication is that they think France will win tonight's game. This statement is different from the previous days, when the French media warned their teams to be cautious.

Russian TV commented: Mr. Putin went to the scene to cheer for the Russian players, which is in line with the needs of Russian fans. Russian fans want their team to pull off a miracle and fulfill the Greek legend for four years. Mr. Putin is a legend who will bring good luck to Russia!

The road to miracles is at your feet, come on, Russian lads, there are hundreds of millions of supporters behind you!

Milan TV commented: "The match between Russia and France is imminent, and at this critical moment, Russian President Vladimir Putin is going to be there to cheer for his team, which will be a good morale boost for the Russian team." For Russia to work a miracle and follow the path of Greece four years ago, they really need a booster. The emergence of President Putin is a shot in the arm.

On the other hand, the French team is very low-key, and their coaches and players have stayed away from the media and have not given any interviews to the media. There is no doubt that the French team will achieve eight years of glory, and use the championship to wash away the stain on its body and save the image of French football.

It's a-for-tat game, and to get to the semi-finals, none of them are underdogs. It is difficult to say whether the mighty Germany would have been able to defeat Turkey without Ram's last-minute outburst. Russia has experienced a life-and-death battle in the group stage, and they also defeated the mighty Netherlands, so don't they have a chance to beat France?

Perhaps this is what keeps the French team away from the media, who know that Russia is not a team that can be defeated if they want to. ”

The comments of Milan TV were well-founded, and the good mood of the French media was gone, and they began to worry about their team. If you lose to Russia......

Joseph exhaled a long breath and said, "No! Definitely not going to be like that, Don, definitely not going to let that happen. He will never give the enemies who are hiding in the shadows a chance to lash out! ”

"He's so proud, how can he let him step on him?"

Joseph had absolute faith in Don, and he knew everything about him. He is confident that Don will lead the French team to the end, as this is his first major tournament as captain.

……

The semi-finals were brutal. There is only one final step left until the final. The winner can step onto the global arena and compete for the final championship, and it is possible to become the final victor and achieve supreme glory. The losers will have no choice but to go home, and the gains of their previous bloody battles will be ruined.

If the runners-up are the biggest losers, then the team that falls outside the door of the final is the saddest character, and they have achieved the championship and runner-up. Entering the semi-finals, no one gave up easily, and they all wanted to enter the final to compete for the crown.

11 a.m., pre-game press conference. Guus Hiddink said: "The French team is strong. Qualify from the Group of Death and knock out favourites Spain in the quarterfinals. Don's state is getting better and better, Russia is facing a serious test, but we have a way to deal with him. ”

"The difficulties are enormous. But we won't give up until now. Our goal is to reach the final. Because there are hundreds of millions of people supporting us. ”

Domenech said: "Before we come here. We have been holding back a momentum, we want to save the image of French football, this is the responsibility entrusted to us by history. My players are a bunch of people who have a lot of responsibilities. Each of them knows their responsibilities and I am confident that they will fulfill their responsibilities. ”

"A lot of people are talking about the French team right now, thinking that the French team doesn't give any media interviews, it's too low-key. Before training this morning, I had a conversation with Don, and he said something very interesting, 'The low profile now is for the high profile in the future!' ’。 ”

I appreciate his words. He also told me, 'Coach, don't worry, this is my first European Championship and I'm going to lead the team to the top podium no matter what.' ’。 Yes, I like him a lot, he's the most talented striker I've ever seen, and he's strong-willed. ”

"There were rumours that I had a problem with him, which is why the French team is so low-key. I tell everybody that I don't have a problem with him, we've been through a lot together, including the '06 World Cup, including something before the Euros. ’”

"I've never recognised the so-called 'France team is weaker now than it was under Zidane'. We have the best players in the world, who are talented, strong-willed and strong-believed. I believe that together we will write legends and immortal legends! ”

Domenech dismissed the rumors among journalists, saying that he had a very good relationship with Tang Jue and was full of expectations for the future.

The reporters in the audience were full of discussions, the French media reporters breathed a sigh of relief, and Joseph's face had a smile.

……

Tang Jue entered the French team at the age of seventeen, although there is the influence of Zidane, but it is inseparable from Domenech's appreciation. After Zidane retired, Domenech simply gave up Vieira and pushed Tang Jue to the captaincy, for which he was under a lot of pressure and was criticized by the French media.

But Tang Jue slowly conquered the French fans with his wonderful performances, which also confirmed Domenech's vision. Before the start of the European Cup, there was a wave of "anti-Tang", and those who opposed Tang Jue never doubted his ability, but only thought that he was unpatriotic.

Don Absolutely Domenech has always been full of gratitude, the old man is stubborn, cautious, and conservative, but he has always loved him. The relationship between the two of them, Bidomenech and Zidane have a good relationship.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was gray, and the rain kept falling. The rain takes away the heat and cools it, but there is one place that is surprisingly hot, and that is the Ernst Happel Stadium. Because in an hour, there will be a semi-final between Russia and France.

Enthusiastic fans called friends, in groups of threes and fives, wearing supportive jerseys, to the outside of the stadium, braving the rain to line up to enter the stadium. Tonight they will be cheering on their team at the Ernst Hapoel Stadium as they are the twelfth man in the team. They take it for granted that without them, their teams will lose to each other.

The media is getting busy, and they have to get ready for the big war to come. At this moment, the players of both sides are seriously warming up on the field. A limousine was heavily protected and drove away from the police car towards the Ernst Happel Stadium. In the car sat the hero of the Russians - Putin! (To be continued......)
