Chapter 211: I thank you on behalf of the French people!

Barak yelled at Bierhoff, which was a sudden incident, and a violent argument ensued. Assistant coach Flick hurriedly stepped forward to mediate, and the situation slowly calmed down. Finally, Metzelde, Odonko and the team's chief press officer, Stanger, thanked the fans with a slogan.

After the game, some media reported the news, and the title was called: Frustrated Ballack refused to thank the fans and quarreled fiercely with the team leader!

"After the match between Germany and France, captain Ballack clashed with team leader Bierhoff, what happened? Bierhoff replied in an interview that before the game, the team's administrator, Berau, made a sign that read, 'Thank you, fans!' ’。 Bierhoff asked Ballack to hold a banner with his teammates to thank the fans, but Ballack not only did not agree to him, but also got into friction with him.

One international said: 'On that occasion, Ballack was in a lot of pain, and no one would want to do anything else. ’

After refusal, Bierhoff and Ballack got into a heated argument, and it was only through the intervention of assistant coach Flick that the situation was calmed down.

Bierhoff said in an interview: 'We had an argument because Ballack refused to participate in the event to thank the fans, he was too emotional to do so. In this case, he should put aside the factor of football competition and give his blessings to the fans. Afterwards in the break room, we had a private conversation about the quarrel and exchanged opinions with each other. ’

After Ballack refused to attend, Metzelde, Odonko and the team's chief press officer, Stanger, thanked the fans with a sign and a slogan. ”

……

Recreate the glory of eight years ago. The French team, led by captain Tang Jue, came to the south side of the stadium to thank the fans.

"Long live France!" Thuram roared!

In the stands, the French fans let out earth-shattering shouts:

"Long live France!"

"Long live France!"

"Long live France!"

In this moment, the hearts of the players and the fans are connected!

It was a terrible blue ocean, surging with amazing enthusiasm to burn the stadium. Their team, two years ago, was on top of the world, and tonight they are on top of Europe, and they are the proudest, proudest people at the moment. Countless people shed tears of joy!

The German team walked to the podium under the leadership of captain Ballack. Receive the runner-up medal. Platini patted Ballack on the shoulder and comforted: "You still have a future. Next time you'll be on the winner's podium! ”

In the 02 World Cup, Germany won the runner-up, and Ballack did not cry; A month ago, Chelsea finished runners-up in the Champions League. Barak did not weep either; Tonight. The game is over. Germany won the runner-up, and Barak still didn't cry. In '02, Germany was defeated by Brazil. Barak thinks he has a future and that in four years I can start all over again.

A month ago, Chelsea lost to Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium in the Champions League, and Ballack believes the Champions League is every year and he has a future to start over next year. Tonight it's over, he's the captain and he's going to be strong.

But does he really have a future?

Where is his future?

Will the World Cup in South Africa be two years away?

Or the European Championship in four years' time?

When will I win the tournament?

Listening to Platini's words, tears finally flowed from Barak's eyes. When a man reaches a sad place, no matter how strong a person is, he can't help but shed tears. Crying Ballack, heartbreaking German fans!

This is a tragic figure, thirteen runners-up. Before the final, there was news that Ballack could not play due to injury, but many French media believed that this was the opponent's smoke bomb, after all, as the captain of the team, if Ballack could not play, the impact on Germany would be too far-reaching. In the end, Ballack still played with his armbands wrapped around his armbands, but he was still powerless to stop the unstoppable footsteps of Tang Jue.

For Ballack, who finished runners-up in all competitions in addition to the FA Cup, it was "unbearable" to finish second this season. He certainly doesn't look like a repeat of the embarrassment he had six years ago, so the Chelsea midfielder put Bodo on the final against France.

In his first international final, Ballack played a little tight, and his calf injury also affected him. Ballack was a little further down in the first half, and his defensive duties were on the heavy side due to the ferocity of the French attack.

After the game, Bild admitted that "neither Germany nor Ballack were at the heights they would have liked", and the German captain failed to become the fifth star to bounce back and win the European Championship immediately after losing the Champions League. The first three in history to achieve this goal were Real Madrid's Joko Widodo and Amancio in 1964 and Hamburg's Hrubesch and Karz in 1980.

Of course, another record is perhaps even more unbeatable, with the Community Shield, League Cup, Premier League, Champions League and the European Championship, with Ballack finishing five runners-up in a row in one year. So far in his career, Ballack has won 13 runner-up prizes in all competitions, an "achievement" that has never been done before......

……

After the German team received the medal, the French captain Tang Jue led his teammates to the rostrum surrounded by fans. The whole stadium began to sing "La Marseillaise", and Sarkozy hugged Tang Jue tightly and said in his ear: "All the French people are thanking you at this moment!" On behalf of the French people, I thank you! ”

Before the opening of the European Cup, the "Anti-Tang Alliance" took advantage of the donation from the Wenchuan earthquake to attack Tang Jue for only loving China, not France, and being unfit to be the captain of France. Some media in France followed up, and some fans also voiced their opposition to Tang Jue. Nearly half of the fans thought he didn't love France, and four out of ten fans didn't think he was fit to be the captain. That was the pain in Tang Jue's heart.

President Sarkozy's words are clear: The French people thank you for helping them stand on top of Europe. Tang Jue's nose was slightly sour, and he said with a smile: "Actually, it is no problem for them to see me, I only did what I should do." If one day more than half of the French fans think I'm not fit to captain, I'll leave. ”

Sarkozy patted him on the shoulder and said, "No! This will never happen again, I promise! ”

Tang Jue smiled and shook his head. Leave the president and come to Platini. The UEFA president happily hung the commemorative medal around his neck and said: "Congratulations! ”

Tang Jue smiled and asked, "Aren't you lost tonight?" ”

Platini knew what Tang Jue meant, eleven goals, breaking his record of nine goals, three hat-tricks, breaking his record of two hat-tricks. The UEFA president smiled and said: "Boy, there are still many records waiting for you to break. Having conquered Europe, you have to conquer the world! ”

Tang Jue obviously also understood what the UEFA president meant, as the captain. You haven't won the World Cup yet. The World Cup in two years is your next target.

After all the players received their medals, Tang Jue took the Delaunay Cup from Platini, roared loudly, and held it high!

The atmosphere of the scene is at its peak!

The flash shines like a firefly. French fans shouted: "Long live France!" ”

Thousands of miles away in the land of France. Bunting fluttering. The fireworks are gorgeous!

Thuram took the trophy and shouted, "We are the champions!" ”

Eight years ago, he was at the Rotterdam-Kuyp Stadium. Lifted the trophy. Eight years is like a reincarnation, he once again stands on the top of Europe, and this should be the last time he stands on the top of Europe. At the age of thirty-six, he will be forty years old four years later, and there is absolutely no way that he will still be in the French team. He was even thinking about quitting the French team after the tournament.

Veteran Makelle took the trophy and shouted: "We are the champions!" ”

This is Makelele's second major title and his first European Cup trophy. Fellow veteran of the team, Makelele was not as lucky as Thuram, and in '98 and 2000, he didn't make it to the French team. At that time, the French midfield was full of stars and had a large number of world-famous stars. Tonight is another peak of his career for Makelele!

Benzema lifted the trophy high and shouted: "We are champions!" ”

It was his first major tournament for his country and he was lucky enough to win the Champions League in his first tournament.

The French players walked down from the rostrum with the trophy in their arms, jogged around the field, came to the south side of the stadium, and lifted the trophy!

Many French fans were already crying, and at this moment, they could no longer suppress the pride and happiness in their hearts. They are the twelfth man in the team and they have a lot to do in this trophy.

"France!"

"France!"

"France!"

The name rang out from the Ernst Happel Stadium and, through the television signal, throughout Europe, throughout the world. This name is tonight's winner!

Domenech sat on the bench and watched the picture happily. It worked, and finally it worked again!

Born in 1952, Domenech was an excellent defensive midfielder during his playing days. Since 1969, he has played for many Ligue 1 clubs such as Lyon, Strasbourg, Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux. In 1984, Domenech retired from the sport after suffering a knee injury, winning two league titles and a cup title. Domenech also played eight games for the national team between 1973 and 1979.

After retiring from football, Domenech took up the reins and coached Murhouse in Ligue 2 in 1985, Lyon in 1989-1994 and in 1993 on the technical committee of the French Football Federation. Since 1994, he has been coaching the French U-21 national team, and during his 10 years at the helm of the French youth team, he has cultivated new and old French internationals such as Zidane, Henry, Trezeguet, and Saha.

At the 1994 and 1996 European Youth Championships, Domenech led France to the semi-finals and reached the final at the 2002 European Youth Championships.

After the end of Euro 2004, facing a team that needed to be completely restructured, Domenech, who has many years of experience in coaching the national youth team, was favored by the Football Association to replace Santini as the national team manager. In the early days of his tenure, Domenech received wide recognition from the French Football Federation and the players, hoping that he would bring life to the long-dormant French national team.

But such a result will also indicate that French football with Zidane as the core will gradually fade out of the international stage. This planted the seeds for his conflict with Zidane, and in the 06 World Cup, Zidane played against South Korea in the group stage, and Zidane left the game early and returned directly to the locker room. After the efforts of the French Football Federation, the French team reunited and finally defeated Italy in the final to win the second World Cup in history.

Two years later, more than 20 days ago, the French team was full of ambition to achieve the glory of eight years ago. However, whether it is the wave of "downing Tang" or the Anelka incident, it has cast a shadow on France's European Championship journey. However, the French team overcame these difficulties and won the championship in the face of adversity.

He became the first person in the history of France, and after leading the team to the World Cup, he won the European Championship, surpassing Jacquet!

At this moment, Domenech's heart was full of happiness. (To be continued......)
