Zidane looked at the water glass sitting on the table and said: "A big victory, the players will be ecstatic." Six to zero, how excited would Henry and Don be if they both scored hat-tricks? Extreme excitement is followed by extreme fatigue. So how do you play the knockout round? The opponents in the knockout round are stronger, and who can guarantee that they can still perform well in the knockout round. ”

The other people at the round table were lost in thought, and Zidane took the opportunity to drink water to sort out the language in his head, and he wanted to say what he understood about football. This is what he has known about the game for many years, and the conclusion he has concluded after many matches.

Looking at Tang Jue, Zidane continued: "Who among you here can guarantee how far the Argentine team can go. I'm not a prophet, but I'm going to make a prediction tonight that Argentina won't go very far according to my view of the world of football. ”

The other four at the table looked shocked as Argentina qualified ahead of Brazil in qualifying, having been strong in the last two years. In this World Cup, they are behind Brazil and are the second favorite to win the championship. Zidane said that a big victory would ruin Argentina and that they could not go too far.

"Master, Zidane's analysis is similar to my conclusion. I've said the same thing to you, extreme excitement is followed by extreme fatigue. Xiao Feifei's voice sounded in Tang Jue's mind.

"So, if you want to go further, you have to suppress yourself and not let yourself score goals in the game? This is the characteristic of the competition system, a game is the winner of the game, and there is no room for loss? A question appeared in Tang Jue's mind.

Xiao Feifei said affirmatively: "Master, that's the case." Home and away matches. It's okay to make mistakes, it's a game system, you can't make any mistakes, so you have to restrain yourself and don't let yourself score goals. Scoring goals to your heart's content will make you extremely excited. Extreme excitement will have an impact on the next game. ”

Tang Jue asked in his mind: "According to what you said, if I don't show extreme excitement after scoring a goal, I can avoid what you said." Extreme fatigue followed by extreme excitement. Is that the case? ”

Xiao Feifei quickly analyzed. After two seconds, he said, "Master, the possibility you said exists. According to human emotion, no one can do it after scoring a goal in the World Cup. And still not excited. If you can do it. can escape this law. ”

"There's another possibility. A team has multiple attacking players, and the player who was too excited in the last game could not perform at his best, and other players can replace him. Help the team score. This possibility, as far as today's team is concerned, can only be realized by the Brazilian team, who have five players in their team and have a strong attacking ability. ”

"France don't have that quality right now, and apart from you and Thierry Henry, it's very difficult for the other strikers to break down the opposition's goal."

At this time, Vieri broke the silence, looked at Zidane and said: "What you say makes sense, I support your point of view, we don't need a big victory, we just need a victory." Our goal is not a big win, but a championship at the end of the game. Expectations for the next game increase after a big win, which can lead to impatience and poor performance. The biggest taboo in the tournament is the ups and downs, which is not good for the players. ”

Tang Jue nodded and said: "Yes, our goal is the Hercules Cup, the previous game is just a foreshadowing, a qualifying game." If we have to fight hard to eliminate the opponent and advance, we will fight the opponent as hard as we can. ”

The room was quiet, and Tang Jue and Vieira had already expressed their opinions, and they supported Zidane. Henry shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, everyone has a different view of the football world and a different understanding of the game. Maybe what he said makes sense, maybe what Zidane said makes sense, who knows.

Tang Jue has not yet considered whether he should break this law, and there must be a reason for existence if he exists. In his first World Cup, it is most important to be safe. When you reach your peak, you can challenge that rule. Where did he think that Ronnie had broken this rule, in the 02 World Cup, Ronnie, who was at his peak, plus Brazil was full of talent, and there were two big wins in the group stage.

What you don't recognize, others do. Tang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zidane was indeed an amazing person. Xiao Feifei couldn't help but say again: "Master, his physical fitness is average, and he can reach the current level by virtue of his correct understanding of football." In your human terms, he's a footballer's most intelligent player. ”

Tang Jue nodded in his heart and said: "Everyone succeeds for a reason, Zidane relies on superior football wisdom, and Ronnie relies on the perfect combination of his physical fitness and skills." ”

Domenech held the glass, his eyes unfocused, his brow furrowed, sometimes furrowed. The main purpose of tonight's meeting was to discuss how to play the last two games, but as soon as it came to the game against South Korea, Tang Jue and Vieira had a conflict, so they had to move the topic to the second topic.

Who knew that Zidane actually said such a thing, Domenech quickly analyzed it in his brain, and even tried to recall the scores of the winning teams in the previous World Cup. In the 02 World Cup, Brazil defeated China and Costa Rica 4-0 and 5-2 respectively in the group stage. These two games are big wins, in the 98 World Cup, the French team also defeated Saudi Arabia 4-0 in the group stage.

Thinking of this, Domenech did not agree with Zidane's view. He gave his reasons and gave the example of these two World Cups.

Zidane said: "If our players are a few years younger and have the level and experience they have now, I think we can probably ignore this rule. But we are too old and need to recover longer, and this rule must be true for us. ”

"Coach, are you willing to take this risk?"

Domenech was once again lost in thought, and he actually agreed with some of Zidane's views. It's just that there are too many variables in football matches, and two teams with little difference in strength, before the end of the game. No one can predict who will emerge victorious. There are too many examples of this kind of battle in the world.

In addition to competing for strength and state, football games are also competing for will and luck. A strong-willed team can work miracles and turn defeat into victory when there is no way back. There are a lot of things that happen on the field, and maybe one detail can make the difference between winning and losing a game.

Venture?

If you're cornered, it's okay to take risks. Now the French team is not on the verge of despair. What to risk for the sake of the dragon.

Domenech figured this out. The mood suddenly brightened. Anyway, the purpose is to go further, this is not a seminar on tactical strategy. Since these guys are all supporting him, let's follow him.

A big win, and then a lot of momentum along the way. Defeat all the Haoqiang who are blocking the road by a big score. Stand on top of it. It's the perfect game in every footballer's heart. It was a great temptation, and Domenech was almost seduced by it.

To do this, there must be two main points, and the strength is superior. The players are in good form, and obviously the current French team does not have the quality to achieve these two points.

"Good!" Domenech looked at Zidane and said: "If we can qualify early, we will put the main team on the bench in the last game." ”

After this meeting, the views of the roundtable reached the ears of the other team members through different channels. It's a matter of strategy for the team, and they know that their words don't have any effect, and it's not something they need to think about. They accepted it unconditionally.

Soon after, the main content of the round table reached the ears of the French legends, who did not expect that these celebrities were not only thinking about the group stage, or even about this tournament, but about the basic strategy of French football. Because the strategy of a country's football is not only reflected in the national team, but also in the youth team. Long-term construction is required.

After a few days of silence, 98 Champion coach Yakai expressed his support through certain channels. When it comes to the fundamental strategy of French football, Professor Wenger cautiously said that he basically agrees. Platini, who is busy with the UEFA presidential election, also stated: According to the current situation and future of French football, this strategy is wise, and I fully support it. This is the strategy of French football, now and in the future, of the competition.

This result surprised Domenech, and he really did not expect that these figures who had an important influence on French football would actually be on Zidane's side. He also didn't expect that he just wanted to discuss the strategy of the match with Togo, who knew that this would become the strategy of French football in the competition.

When he heard this information, cold sweat began to form on his forehead, if he objected at the time, it was possible that after the end of this World Cup, he would definitely leave the position of head coach.

It will be a big event that will affect French football and define the style of play in France from then on. They are closer to utilitarian football, and their philosophy is similar to that of Italian football, and since then there has been a team in the world that plays with a gorgeous style of play and pursues victory.

Since then, the strategy of the French team has been clear, in a big tournament format, the game only needs to be won, and it doesn't matter what the score is. And try to minimize the occurrence of big wins.

This strategy is undoubtedly the right one for a team like France. In this way, Zidane is influencing the present and future of French football.

……

On the second day of the roundtable, France will play their second match of the group stage. Three hours before the French team's game, it was the game of the Brazilian team. Pereira told the media before the game that Ronnie will miss this afternoon's match against Australia due to blisters on his feet. This means that when Ronnie sets a new record, it will be pushed back.

Before the match between France and South Korea, various media made predictions for this match, and most of the media believed that the French team had a good chance of winning. The French media believe that their soldiers will definitely defeat the South Korean team and qualify early.

The South Korean media believe that their soldiers will definitely play at a high level, and if they beat the French team, they will be able to lock in the qualification place in advance. Even if you can't win, a draw is acceptable. They told the South Korean defenders to find a way to contain the "three musketeers!" ”。

It's a game about qualifying early, and both sides want to win their opponents. The Great War is imminent! (To be continued......)
