PS: This is today's first update, and the 151,000 recommended plus more will be sent again in the evening. Also, by the way, ask for a recommendation ticket here......
While the players of the French team were struggling to persevere, a big event suddenly happened on the pitch that decided the outcome of the whole game!
At this time, the game was already in the 82nd minute, and after the ball was successfully intercepted by the Italian players, the French players immediately turned around and quickly retreated, so as not to be quickly counterattacked by the Italians on the opposite side.
However, at this moment, a scene that made Zhuang Mingge feel familiar, but made everyone except him stunned: I saw Materazzi babbling behind Zidane, and then everyone saw that the French forward who was walking towards his own half suddenly turned around, and then headed towards Materazzi!
Receiving Zidane's headbutt, Materazzi immediately screamed, and then fell heavily on the turf!
For Zidane's blatant violence, no matter how much he cares about the feelings of the French fans, the referee cannot turn a blind eye to it. So, the black-clad judge who rushed to the scene of the incident directly showed a red card to Zidane and sent the core of the French team who had just returned from the ban off the field!
Zidane didn't make any useless excuses with the referee, just glared fiercely at Materazzi, who was lying on the turf, before turning and walking into the players' tunnel.
Seeing Zidane being expelled from the game by the referee directly showing a red card for Materazzi on his head, everyone was stunned for a while, and then two completely different voices erupted in the stands - angry scolding from French fans and cheers from Italian fans!
The two managers on the sidelines also had different attitudes towards this, and the old Maldini was more surprised, he did not expect that Materazzi, a young man, not only completed the task he set before the game, but now he actually brought the most threatening Zidane off the field, so that the balance of victory was greatly tilted in favor of Italy.
Jacquet, who was not far from Maldini Sr., was furious at this time, and the coach, who was famous for his insistence on refusing to call up two famous players such as Cantona and Ginola, was furious on the sidelines, angrily denouncing Materazzi's actions to the fourth official on the sidelines, believing that he must have verbally insulted Zidane to lead his own organizational core to take such drastic measures...... All in all, Jacquet's implication was that he wanted the referee to send Materazzi off as well.
The fourth official did not respond to Jacquet's accusation, but pursed his lips disdainfully out of the sight of the French leader, saying that even if Materazzi said something provocative, if he was really angry, he should respond with words instead of directly doing it...... At most, people just moved their mouths, but Zidane on your side used a head hammer as soon as he came up, and the nature of these two is completely different. There are more players who are spewing trash talk on the field, and if everyone is like Zidane who takes revenge on each other after being scolded twice, then the game will really not be able to play......
Moreover, no one really heard Materazzi personally attack Zidane, and it was really unconvincing to punish Materazzi on the basis of personal speculation. Moreover, none of them can know what Materazzi said to Zidane just now, and if they want to find trouble with him, they will have to wait until the game is over, and not chirp here now.
"The French are finished." After Zidane was shown a red card, Zhuang Mingge said to Karin and Groz Jr., "The French team under Jacques relies heavily on Zidane's organization and scheduling on the offensive end, so now that Zidane is sent off, he can't find a player who can play a replacement role." ”
Zhuang Mingge's views also represent the opinions of most people at this time, because anyone with a discerning eye can see the importance of Zidane to the French team, so after Zidane left the field, the French team lacked not only an organizational core, but also a stadium Napoleon that could unite them with arrogance!
"Tony, in fact, I think we should be more concerned about what Materazzi said to Zidane just now, and then do our best to deal with it, otherwise I am worried that the French side will have unfavorable actions for Materazzi after the game." Although she was very happy that Italy had the advantage on the field, Karin saw the hidden danger from another angle, "I think FIFA will have to sell the hosts face in this situation and ban Materazzi after the game. ”
Hearing Karin's words, Zhuang Mingge did not respond immediately, after all, the wall has ears, if he made any remarks here that "Johansson and Platini do not deal with each other, so they will definitely not come forward to help the French at this time", it is inevitable that no one will overhear it. So just in case, Zhuang Mingge decided to keep his mouth tight here, and discuss these things when he returned to the hotel.
As a result, Zhuang Mingge began to deliberately change the topic, changing the content of the conversation to what Materazzi said to Zidane, which would make the core of the French team lose his cool, so as to make the previous extremely uncalm move.
As a traverser, Zhuang Mingge naturally guessed the reason why Zidane would suddenly go berserk, because the same thing happened once in the original time and space. Only this time, due to the early meeting between Materazzi and Zidane, the time of this incident was greatly advanced.
Just when Zhuang Mingge and the others were chatting in the box, the situation on the field had gradually become clear.
It has to be said that Zidane's red card greatly hit the morale of the French players, and when the score fell behind and the team's organizational core was sent off, Jacques used the authority of the head coach to pinch together the Gallic Army to revert to its old ways, and in the subsequent game, they lost their commander and fell back into a situation of fighting separately.
This is the main reason why France's record in the tournaments has not been bad, but their record is so bad without Platini and Zidane - without a Napoleon who can convince everyone, the French team is immediately a mess.
The Italians took the opportunity to seal the victory with Vieri on the left side of the game near the end of the game after receiving Maldini's cross from the left!
In the end, when the game was over, Italy defeated the host France 2-0 thanks to goals from Baggio and Vieri and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup!
And with France being eliminated by Italy, the wheel of history finally underwent an earth-shattering change under the influence of Zhuang Mingge's little butterfly!
