Chapter 320: The Art of Passing!
The next day, the French team returned to Paris. Because on the 6th, they will play the second game of the group stage of the European Championship. France will take on Italy at the Stade des Princes in Paris, the home of Saint-Germain.
More than two months ago, they met in the final of the World Cup, as if they were fateful rivals, and they were about to face each other again.
There is a lot of interest in this match, as the two teams were competing for the Hercules Cup at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin two months ago. After the World Cup, Lippi resigned as the Italian coach, and Milan's former wide player Donadoni replaced him as Italy's new manager.
Donadoni was a member of the Saki era, the Milan dynasty. The Italian Football Federation hopes that he can lead Italy to continue Lippi's glory and achieve good results in the European Championship. However, in the opening round of the group stage, they conceded first at home and drew with Lithuania with a goal. After the game, Donadoni was bombarded by the Italian media.
On September 5, the Milan sports newspaper published an article saying: If Donadoni's Italian team cannot play a decent game in Paris, then he should consider resigning!
Donadoni said before the game that he would not let the World Cup scene happen and would beat France at the Princes Stadium.
Domenech said: "We beat Italy in Berlin two months ago and now we are at home, so there's no reason why we can't win!
……
Tang Jue has been a little absent-minded in training these days, as if he has something on his mind. Henry expressed anxiety about this, during a dinner. Tang Jue finished eating early and left the restaurant. Henry said worriedly to Makelele: "Don has been looking unrelenting these days, which makes people worry. ”
Before Makelele could speak, Vieira, who was on the other side, said: "His soul has long been left in Alice, where is there to concentrate on playing football." ”
After saying that, Vieira laughed out loud. In the past, someone would have laughed with him, but at this time, he was the only one laughing. It's like a clown, struggling on stage to cause everyone's laughter. However, he found out later. No one is laughing but themselves. Vieira looked around left and right, and his face was gloomy and he stopped laughing.
The scar on Ribery's face flashed a dangerous red, and Henry was about to fight back. Makelle grabbed his hand. Motioned for him not to speak. Henry snorted coldly. Immerse yourself in eating.
Last night, Tang Jue did not spend the night at the hotel where the team stayed, but took leave to go to the hotel where Alice lived. Vieira against Domenech opted for the Princes Stadium. As the home of the French team, there is a lot of opinion. This is clearly taking care of Tang Jue. Thinking about how those Paris Saint-Germain fans would frantically shout Tang Jue's name during the game, Vieira felt uncomfortable when he thought of it.
Vieira was even more angry that Domenech agreed to Tang's leave. So he used this opportunity to fight Tang Jue. At this time, Vieira, who had a gloomy face, didn't want to be a clown, and he decided not to hit Tang Jue in these small things in the future, but to strike hard at a critical moment!
In the past, Tang Jue could sometimes find the answer from Alice when he encountered a problem, but this time he couldn't find the answer. This is a philosophical question, and a girl like Alice is not willing to help Tang Jue think at all. The sad Tang Jue fell into the quagmire of thinking.
……
At half past seven in the evening, the home team dressing room. Domenech made arrangements for personnel and tactics. Then the next step is for the captain to make a battle declaration. Tang Jue still looked like he was unwilling, as if he was outside the locker room. The players' eyes were all looking at Tang Jue.
Thuram couldn't help but stab him again. Don Jue looked at Thuram inexplicably. Worry appeared in the eyes of Makelele, Henry and others, and Vieira snorted coldly......
"Speak!" Thuram whispered. Tang Jue asked strangely, "What did you say?" ”
After Domenech finished speaking, the dressing room was quiet, so what the two men said was heard by the whole team. The air in the dressing room grew eerie, and Vieira's eyes were sarcastic, but he didn't say anything sarcastic.
The game is about to start, it's still like this, huh! That's the captain you've chosen!
Vieira turned his head to look at Domenech, he wanted to see the joke!
However, there was no anger on Domenech's face, and there was a calm, even a hint of joy. Vieira wondered, what was this for?
Thuram shook his head and whispered, "It's about to be a game, you should speak!" ”
I see. Tang Jue smiled awkwardly, stood up and said, "Brothers! Our goal tonight is to win against our opponents! ”
After speaking, Tang Jue sat down.
The air in the locker room was even more eerie, and the worry in the eyes of Henry and the others was even worse!
Patrick Vieira rejoiced: As long as you are still like this in the game, then at halftime, you have to wait for the heavy artillery fire! Boy, this position is not so easy to sit!
……
At 7:50 p.m. on the 6th, Tang Jue walked at the front of the French team, leading the team out of the players' tunnel and appearing at the Prince Stadium. A tsunami-like shout resounded throughout the stadium:
"Don!"
"Don!"
"Don!"
It is the owner of this name, who helped Saint-Germain a year ago, winning the Ligue 1 title and the French Cup. It is the owner of this name, two months ago, who helped France to defeat Italy in the final and stand at the top of the world. The owner of this name is from this stadium to the world!
The Italian team on the other side felt a lot of pressure, and it was this name that made them lose the Hercules Cup. Buffon had a gritty look in his eyes, and he didn't believe anyone could score every time he could play against him. He decided to make Tang Jue lose all his grain tonight!
Gattuso's eyes burned with a dangerous flame, and Tang Jue's words on his blog caused a shock in the Italian media. However, Tang Jue sought the support of Ronnie and Maldini, but did not find him. It made him feel neglected. Thinking that he once occupied half of the locker room and was now being ignored, Gattuso made up his mind to stop Tang Jue and let him get nothing tonight.
Finished with Georgia. Domenech's words caused Tang Jue to ponder, he was not entangled in whether he should pass the ball to his teammates more, because he had long understood the importance of passing, and he had already played beautiful cooperation with his teammates many times in the game.
What Tang Jue is entangled with, or rather thinking, is a question of behavior. This is a philosophical question, and since it is a philosophical question, where can it be figured out so quickly. However, he still kept thinking, so he seemed to be lost these days. Ants. Even distracted in pre-game meetings.
At this time, hearing the tsunami-like shouts of the mountains, Tang Jue's face sank, as if he was a drowsy guy. It's like waking up at last. Exhale a long breath. Tang Jue's eyes began to brighten!
Maybe you can find out in the game!
Eight o'clock in the evening. As soon as the whistle blew for the game, the match between the two sides began.
As soon as the game began, France took advantage of the home advantage. A ferocious offensive was launched against Italy. Franck Ribery was very active on the left, and in the third minute, he played the ball down the middle. Henry grabbed the header and ferried the football into the Italian penalty area, Tang Jue shook off Gattuso and got in!
When Tang Jue was two meters away from football, Cannavaro kicked his right foot on the football. The next moment, the football flew into the midfield. Cannavaro remains Italy's most consistent defender. Tang Jue, who didn't get the football, gave Henry a thumbs up.
In the fifth minute, Ribery cut inside in the corner of the box and then fired a powerful shot!
Soccer balls roar like cannonballs!
"Pong!" With a bang, the football hit the post!
A terrified Materazzi moved his feet quickly as the ball bounced into the box. Ribery took two steps forward and shot again. After a flash of white light, the ball hit the leg of Materazzi, who had come from the defense, and flew out of the bottom line. Italy's back line is rock solid!
After withstanding this wave of French attacks, Italy stabilized its position and began to counterattack. The game slowly entered the balance. In the final of the World Cup, Lippi did not send a special person to guard against Tang Jue, and received a certain effect. Donadoni thought it was a good idea, so he used it to get him.
Tang Jue is caught in the encirclement!
Every Italian defender in terms of individual combat ability, it is the world's best. Like steel bar, cold, hard, tough. The tacit understanding between the Italian defenders is like stone, sand and cement. With his personal ability and tacit understanding, he has become a world-famous reinforced concrete defense line.
Tang Jue was the sharpest arrow in the world, and he shot through the walls of Spain and Brazil. In the final of the World Cup, he shot hard at the reinforced concrete wall, and successfully penetrated the wall three times. However, it was like the end of a strong crossbow, easily blocked by Buffon behind the city walls.
At the very end of the final, Tang Jue changed direction and shot arrows from the city wall. Buffon, behind the city walls, apparently did not notice this, because he could not see. After the last, Tang Jue succeeded.
Will the Italian still give him a chance to shoot arrows at the wall tonight?
Or will Tang Jue stand on the wall and shoot arrows again?
It wasn't until the twenty-seventh minute of the first half that Tang Jue struggled to get a shot outside the penalty area. As a result, under the interference of Gattuso, the football deflected off the bottom line next to the post.
Italy's goal is clear, to get at least one draw away from home. They focused on defence, and for a while the French struggled to break through Italy's solid defence. Tang Jue began to retreat his position, leaving Henry alone on the opposing lineback.
In the 39th minute, Malouda took the ball in the heart of Italy and did not break through, but passed directly to Tang Jue on the back side. Tang Jue took the ball, and four Italian players appeared next to him in an instant. Malouda moved quickly along the flank. The corners of Tang Jue's mouth were slightly upturned, and the toe of his right foot was inserted under the football, and then the football was picked up!
The next moment, the football flew in front of Malouda!
Excited, Malouda pressed forward with his right foot, and the football rolled in front of him!
There is a road ahead of Malouda!
Grosso is galloping, and he wants to prevent Malouda from advancing into the box!
Henry moves towards the penalty area, and Ribery on the left also moves forward quickly!
Malouda dribbled the ball at high speed, and then five meters from the baseline, suddenly passed the ball to the left back!
Tang Jue stretched out his left foot and stopped the football. Gattuso, who had been following Tang Jue's left side, roared loudly and wanted to fight. Materazzi in front of Tang Jue stepped forward bravely, if Tang Jue wanted to shoot, he would block it with his body!
The Italian defenders are starting to get nervous!
According to the previous style of play, as long as he was in the shooting range, Tang Jue would try to shoot directly or break through. This is also the reason why the Italian defenders are nervous.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Tang Jue neither shot directly nor tried to break through the shot, but with a flick of his right foot, the football flew towards the left side of the Italian penalty area!
Surprised to appear on the face of the Italian defender, Buffon, who was standing on the goal line, felt a crisis after being surprised, so he quickly moved his legs to the right side!
Who is on the left?
Ribery suppressed his inner joy, stepped forward with his right foot, threw his left leg back, and then swung it like a whip at the football!
Before the ball could hit the ground, Ribery hit the ball hard with his left ankle! (To be continued......)
