Chapter 202: A Battle of Two People!
Time flies, three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the European Championship final is about to start.
June 30, the final day of the European Championship. After 19 days and 30 fierce battles, the two strongest teams entered the finals. Both teams expressed their determination to win the championship before the game. Germany has not won a continental title for 12 years, while France are on the verge of achieving what they did eight years ago. It's going to be a battle of the dragons!
"Ballack vows to win!"
"According to the exact information, Ballack is not in the line of fire with a minor injury and will go to the final with an injury, and he will fight for his first major title!"
"Ram vows to stop Don and achieve the supreme glory of Germany!"
"Frings has made a bold statement, Don is no match for him!"
"Domenech changed tactics and abandoned the golden passage, and Ribery was very dissatisfied!"
"The French team is practicing new tactics!"
"Beckenbauer said that Don is not invincible, and the German team has a chance to win the championship!"
"Don vows to chase Platini's nine-goal record!"
"Don said that the French team will achieve the glory of eight years ago!"
"Thierry Henry has made a big statement that he will continue to score in the final!"
"Ribery said that France will not change its tactics, and the golden passage will still be unimpeded!"
"German Chancellor Angela Merkel will be on the scene to cheer for the German team!"
"French President Nicolas Sarkozy will fly to Vienna this morning to watch the final in person!"
Various news appeared in the media, and the German newspaper Bild said: "The ball bully dares to say that he wants to trample the German team under his feet. The Germans vowed to fight for glory and keep the ball under siege. The provocation of Germany ended badly, and France was doomed to defeat! β
Not to be outdone, the French press said: "Don is a man who keeps his word, he says that if he wants to trample the German team under his feet, then the German team will be trampled under the feet of the French team!" β
"This is Don's first European Cup, and for someone as proud as he is, the title is the only thing he's chasing," Le Monde said. The arrogant Germans will taste defeat tonight! β
World Sports said: "The ball will be beaten to the Golenst Harpoel Stadium! β
The Daily Mail said: "Tonight, the world will witness the defeat of the football giants! β
The media is still fighting. It's all building momentum for tonight's final. The final is scheduled at the Ernst Haple Stadium in Vienna, Austria. The game is played at 8 p.m. The stadium has hosted four group stage games, four knockout games, and saw France beat Spain 4-2 and Russia 3-0.
Tang Jue scored four goals in this stadium. It was a place that left him with fond memories. He's going to lead the French team to the top here. Look down on the European powers!
Half past six. The sunset hangs in the sky, and it can be replaced by night at any moment. The Ernst Happel Stadium is very lively and the fans have already started to gather here. Some anxious fans began to line up and prepare to enter the stadium. The fans who didn't line up sang and danced as if they had come to a big festival.
With the winner of this tournament going to be decided tonight, who will have the last laugh? Who are the biggest losers?
Several German fans shouted to the reporters: "The victory must belong to Germany!" β
Jimmy French fans shouted to the reporters interviewing: "Don said he was going to give us the championship, and the victory belongs to France!" β
A bus slowly drove into the stadium, and the German fans were excited, and their players were coming!
β¦β¦
Loew led his players off the bus as Ballack spoke to the media. A French journalist asked: "How do you feel about yourself getting twelve runners-up?" β
It's Ballack's eternal pain, twelve runners-up, showing that he has lost the championship twelve times.
"Twelve runners-up are for tonight's championship!" Barak raised his eyebrows and said with a serious face.
Another French journalist asked: "Some people say that tonight is your fight with Don because he made you hate in the Champions League final." Don said he'll beat you again like he did in the Champions League final, what do you think about that? β
Barak snorted coldly and said: "No, this is not a battle between me and him, it is a battle between Germany and France. The German team is a whole and I am just one of them. β
"The Champions League final won't be repeated, his luck has run out in that game!"
Barak deftly answered the French reporter's question. The German journalist looked at the French journalist with disdain, the battle of two people? German football is about the whole, and only you French football are about the individual. Personally, once you limit this superstar, you're done!
A German journalist asked: "How are you going to restrain Don tonight?" β
Barak was a little short of breath, it was understandable that the French journalist mentioned the Don, why did the German journalist mention that person as well? Can't you just get around him?
"We'll show you how we made him nothing!" "Don is not a problem, we just have to play at our level and we can beat them," Ballack said. β
An Italian journalist asked: "The fans are concerned about your injury, will you be in the final?" β
Ballack finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally someone stopped mentioning that guy, he smiled and said: "Thank you fans for your concern, I'll be on the field tonight!" β
A Dutch journalist asked: "Do you think Don will catch Platini's record of nine goals?" β
Barak felt tragic about himself, and when he mentioned this person again, he didn't think it was necessary to give interviews to reporters anymore.
"Ask him for yourselves!" After saying this, he left the journalist.
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later, the French bus drove into the stadium, and the emotions of the reporters were high. The final is about to start, what will that guy say?
With a delicate face and a confident smile, Tang Jue came to the reporter with a sports bag on his back.
"If Germany succeeds in cutting off the golden lane, what will France do?" A German journalist was the first to ask.
Tang Jue said confidently: "The German team can't cut off our golden channel, so we won't change our tactics." β
German journalists pouted. Snorted coldly in his heart. The face of the French journalist is full of pride, domineering, this is domineering!
"What's your goal tonight?" A Dutch journalist asked. The question sparked the interest of other journalists, and Tang Jue is only one player away from Platini's nine-goal record, will he catch up or surpass it? And, will he continue his magical record of scoring in every big game?
Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Goal? β¦β¦ First of all, we want to win, that's for sure. Second, I'm going to try to score goals. Third...... There is no third, just these two goals. β
Many reporters laughed. The king of the pitch. There's also big boyish humor.
"By the way, hasn't Barak already won twelve runners-up, and tonight he will continue his record and continue to win runners!" Tang Jue said with a smile.
There was a shout of applause. It was French and Dutch journalists applauding. Since Tang Jue talked about the 74 World Cup final three days ago. Dutch journalists are already on the side of France. The German journalist's face was hard to look at. If this word reached Barak's ears, he would have been furious. They're starting to get worried, this guy ...... Will he say this to Barak?
β¦β¦
Seven. The sun sets, the night dominates the sky, the stars are dotted, and the moon is gone. Vienna, the world-famous art capital, is lit up, and people's enthusiasm is not reduced by the arrival of night, but the enthusiasm is high, and the European Cup final is about to start!
The players on both sides were preparing on the pitch at this time, and Ribery said to Tang Jue: "What did you just say to reporters? "It's something he's interested in.
Tang Jue thought for a moment and said, "I told them that Barak will continue to win the runner-up tonight." β
Henry pouted and said, "You guy is too ruthless, just keep this kind of thing in your heart, don't say it in a big way, Barak will go crazy." β
Why is Barak crazy? Only when he finished 13th was he would go crazy. The hidden meaning behind Thierry Henry's words is that France will win tonight.
Makelle nodded and said, "This guy Tang is really ruthless, he doesn't give others the taste of the champion at all, and he always eats alone." β
Thuram looked at Makelele and said, "Otherwise, next season we will go to Real Madrid together and win the Champions League together." β
Thuram's negotiations with Real Madrid were successful and now all he has to do is sign for confirmation. In the Champions League final, Chelsea's two goals, both from corners, CalderΓ³n understood that Real Madrid lacked a tall centre-back. Thuram has the height and the experience, and Real Madrid lack such a veteran.
Makelle pressed his legs, shook his head, and said, "I'm tired of being there, and good horses don't eat grass." β
Makelele belongs to the era of the Galactic Battleship and was the hero of Real Madrid's victory in the 2000 Champions League. When he asked for a raise, Florentino didn't value him at all and sold him directly.
"Don't talk about Real Madrid." Henry immediately diverted the subject: "It is said that Ballack is injured, let's bet on whether he will start." β
If anyone hears these words from them in the pre-game warm-up, they won't believe it. The finals are about to start, so why not talk about the competition, just talk about the boundless things. In fact, they used these borderless words to defuse the tension of the final.
In the finals, you may ascend to the sky in one step and achieve the highest honors, or you may become the biggest loser and watch others lift the trophy. No one will not be nervous, in 98 Ronnie was overly nervous, causing physical discomfort, and fell out of standard in the final, watching Zidane achieve the highest honor.
On the other side, the German players were also chatting. What Ballack and Krauser were talking about, Podolski looked at Tang Jue in the other half from time to time, and his eyes were full of war.
Ahead of the European Cup, Bild thought Podolski could be on the rise. In the first game, he lived up to expectations and got off to a good start with a brace against Poland. In the second game, he continued to score, but then he stopped his own goal.
Five games, three goals, third in the scorers' list, this is the answer he gave. This is a good result, but compared with Tang Jue's eight goals in four games, it is much inferior. Podolski believes that as long as he helps Germany win this game through his own goal, then he will overpower Tang.
That was his intention, and he decided to do it. If there is a benchmark in this era, Tang Jue is the benchmark for so forwards. Podolski knew he wouldn't be able to catch up in all his arms, but it was still possible to win a fight between the two men in a given match. Yes, he thinks that tonight is the battle between him and Tang Jue.
"Don't get old to see him, he'll die at my hands tonight!" A voice pulls Podolsky back into reality. (To be continued......)
