Chapter 187: Fierce England!
Tang Jue looked at Zidane suspiciously, usually in the dressing room of Saint-Germain, every time he competed, he was always full of passion. However, at this time, there was no passion in the locker room. What is this for?
After the game, Tang Jue threw this question to Luo Teng, and Luo Teng smiled: "Every team has its own personality, and the spiritual leader of this French team is Zidane, so this team will inevitably be branded with Zidane's temperament." Zinedine Zidane is a calm, rational man who has competed in many important competitions, including the World Cup final. Maybe this friendly match is not enough to excite him. ”
……
At 3:45, players from both sides walked out of the tunnel of the players.
The big war is about to begin!
Fans on both sides stood up and applauded their soldiers, and the exciting game was about to begin!
Zinedine Zidane swapped flags with England captain David Beckham with the captain's armband. At this time, these two Real Madrid stars became opponents of the national team.
Tang Jue sat on the bench, and he had ambitions in his heart: When will he be able to wear the captain's armband?
Captaining is an honor, and in the early days of modern football, the most important person in the game was the captain. If there is an emergency in the game, it is handled by the captains of both sides. At that time, there were no coaches at all.
The captain is the spiritual leader of the team, and he leads the team on the journey. When the team is tough, he always rushes to the front, he must be a tough person, a tenacious person.
……
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Football was passed through England's backfield, with Thierry Henry and Trezeguet running quickly across the half, putting pressure on England's defenders. The midfielders, led by Zinedine Zidane, did not rush over like crazy, they stood up near the center circle.
Judging from the scene, both sides were very careful.
Two minutes later, England launched a tentative attack. They attacked from the left flank under the command of Gerrard. A month earlier, Steven Gerrard had led the Reds to Liverpool. After falling behind 0-3, he scored three goals in a row in the second half, and finally won Milan on penalties.
Steven Gerrard was the best player in that final. After that game, a lot of football legends. Steven Gerrard is considered to be the best midfielder in the world. He's running aggressively, almost where the ball is, his people are there. It is known as "You can't run to death!" "It shows that he has a lot of running range.
In an England midfielder full of talent. He's a must-have player. Gerrard is a versatile midfielder who is both offensive and defensive, and his long-range shooting ability is superb, and he has repeatedly scored spectacular long-range shots in the game.
In the fifth minute, Gerrard was in the heart of the French team and received a pass from David Beckham. Beat Claude Makelele in front of the penalty area and shoot with his feet. The soccer ball whistled like a cannonball and flew towards the goal!
See long shot again!
England fans, with flowers of hope in their eyes!
French fans have a slight chill in their hearts, and England is mainly anti-guest. First of all, make a difficulty.
Butters makes a sideways save to get the ball off the line!
In the stands, England fans stood up and applauded Gerrard.
The French fans stood up without flinching and applauded Butters' brilliant save. The battle has begun, the players are fighting on the pitch, the fans are fighting in the stands.
Steven Gerrard's long-range shot kicked off England's attack. For a time, England pressed in the French penalty area, and the figure of "chasing the wind" Owen frequently appeared in the French team's penalty area, and England's new star Rooney was also extremely active.
The artillery roared, and the French team, under the command of the defender general Thuram, responded calmly. Claude Makelele is intent on forming a solid barrier with his team-mates from outside the box.
England's sharp spear, piercing into the French penalty area. The French defenders put up strong shields and responded calmly. For a while, the sound of body collision was frequently heard, and the players on both sides were fighting for every inch of land inside and outside the French team's penalty area.
In the eighth minute, Owen found an opportunity in the penalty area and shot with his foot!
The air in the stadium suddenly became tense!
The long guns behind the goal began to flash rapidly!
France have been pressed by England from the beginning, is the goal about to be blasted open by them?
Owen watched nervously at the speeding soccer ball as he prepared to celebrate. Because the angle of this ball is extremely tricky, it goes straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!
Against the guest, England took the lead in launching a ferocious attack. Tang Jue, who was sitting on the bench, finally realized the strength of the strong team in the world. At the age of seventeen, with only one short season of professional experience, Tang rarely competed against the world's strongest teams. At the end of a season, only Milan can be called a strong team.
A yellow figure flew out from the goal line!
Butters is a nerve knife, and when he behaves well, he is at the level of the world. When he doesn't perform well, he often makes low-level mistakes, and is known as "butter hands!" He has been criticized by the French media!
At this time, he is the hope in the hearts of French fans!
Owen shot at a tricky angle, and the ball flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal, like a sharp arrow!
At this point, Butters used tenacity as his arm and tenacity as his hand, vowing to save Irving's shot from the bottom line. Just like a few minutes ago, save Gerrard's long-range shot!
"Poof!" Butters' gloves come up close and personal with football!
The soccer ball changes direction and flies towards the baseline!
Owen hugged his head in pain, his ready celebration failed to show.
The crisis was resolved, and Butters used a world-class performance to block Owen's powerful shot in the penalty area. Thuram quickly walked up to Butters, pulled him up, and shouted, "Well done! Butters! ”
Butters clapped vigorously and shouted, "Brothers! Cheer up! ”
The fans in the stands burst into applause. French fans are applauding Butters' world-class performance, and England fans are applauding Owen's brilliant shot!
England's attacking frenzy lasted for a full twelve minutes. France relied on Barthes' world-class performance to keep the goal intact.
The French players on the bench were nervous, this was their home stadium, but they were the ones who were on the passive. Some of them even remembered the last time the two teams faced off. If it weren't for Zidane's sudden outburst, it would have been France that would have lost in the group stage of last year's European Championship.
In that game, judging from the field, England had the advantage. Now, judging from the first ten minutes, England still has the advantage!
After withstanding this ferocious attack of England. The French team, led by Zidane, began to counterattack. According to manager Domenech's tactics, Zidane moved the ball to both flanks on several occasions. Take advantage of the width of the pitch and hit England's goal.
It wasn't until the 20 minutes of the game that France had their first shot on goal. The shot was completed by Thierry Henry, who had a chance from outside the box. Pull the angle of the shot, and shoot hard. It's a pity that the football slid out of the door.
The two sides entered a period of equilibrium, attacking and defending each other. No one can get a great shot on goal.
That balance almost came in the thirty-second minute of the first half. Broken by Rooney. Rooney, who became famous as a teenager, was in the box and received a cross from David Beckham's wing. He's beside Thuram, and he's shooting with his feet!
Butters makes a flying save, however, his hand does not touch the ball. Just when England fans thought football was going to fly over the goal line, and when French fans closed their eyes in pain, the post became the hero who saved the French team.
"Pong!" The soccer ball hit the post hard. Bounce into the box. Abidal flew up and kicked the ball off the sideline.
The tense and exciting game made the fans addicted. Two world-class teams showed strong offense and defense on the pitch. Wonderful coordination keeps appearing, and tenacious defense keeps playing.
The two sides ended the first half with a 0-0 draw.
……
Fans can finally sit down. They moistened their thirsty throats with mineral water in their hands. Prepare for the second half, the second half is a decisive battle and it takes their shouts. Some fans are replenishing their energy and nibbling on the burgers in their hands.
Anlis's wife looked at her husband next to her and asked, "Will Don play?" ”
Anlis replied firmly in a hoarse voice, "Yes!" Definitely! ”
……
The situation could not be opened, and throughout the first half, the French team was passive for more time. In this case, substitutions are the best option.
Zidane lowered his head and took a sip of mineral water, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a white towel, looked up at Domenech and said, "Coach, let Don play in the second half." ”
This seems to be a discussion, but in fact, everyone in the locker room knows that Zidane is not discussing, but demanding.
The locker room fell silent.
Henry's brows furrowed, and Trezeguet's heart ached, and Zidane clearly wanted to replace him. According to the current personnel of the forward line of the French team, it is impossible for Henry to be replaced.
Domenech didn't have any expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
As soon as Tang Jue heard this, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and his eyebrows flew. Then he immediately hid his excitement in the depths of his heart, and here, he was a newcomer, and he could not let others see that he was too happy. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!
Don never wants to be like that, and when he is strong enough, he will raise his head and hold his chest high!
So he looked down at his toes.
Thuram broke the silence and said: "We have to make personnel changes, Don has the pace, he should be able to change the situation on the field. What's more, he scored in the last game and he is in good form. ”
After last year's European Championships, Domenech sidelined veterans such as Claude Makelele, including him. Thuram wants to use this opportunity to vent his frustration, and it's a big deal that you will exclude me from the French team again, and it's not the first time anyway.
Of course, Thuram was not stunned, he just followed Zidane's words.
It is said that this French team is Zidane, and Zidane has already spoken. So what does he have to scruple about?
Makelele looked up and said, "Coach, haven't you always been bold enough to use young players?" Now, you should be bold with Don. ”
The other players sat quietly, their eyes on their toes. They are veterans of the battlefield, and at a time like this, they can either side with Zidane and challenge Domenech, or keep their mouths shut, when this matter has nothing to do with them.
Makellele's previous sentence was clearly the same as Thuram's, venting some kind of emotion. The latter sentence is his original intention, after Tang Jue entered the French team, he respected them old guys very much. More importantly, Zidane is optimistic about this little guy.
Domenech, who was pushed onto the crater, had a bitter look on his face, and he knew that these veteran players had opinions about him in their hearts. But as a manager, he doesn't think he's done anything wrong.
Root? Asholl was shocked beyond words. He didn't expect so many old guys to ask Tang Jue to play, even in the dressing room of Saint-Germain, this situation has never happened!
So he turned his head in shock to look at Tang Jue beside him, at this time, Tang Jue was still looking down at his toes.
As the number one family in a thousand years, Tang Jue didn't know what they really thought in their hearts. He was accustomed to the struggle for power, and he was accustomed to these words that implied swords and swords.
He knew that he couldn't make any representations now, and the slightest carelessness would leave a bad impression on others. Or that he is now a sword, being wielded in the hands of others. Thuram and Makelle swung him and stabbed him at Domenech.
Although he hated this feeling, he knew that his strength was not strong enough now, and it was not the time to fully control his own destiny.
The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became tense. (To be continued.) )
