Chapter 180: Third-Class People!
Don was definitely in the French team and had always been full of expectations, but what he didn't expect was that it all came so quickly.
At this time, he realized from Luo Teng's serious expression and deep voice that this conversation was very important for his future survival in the French team.
Tang Jue said: "You are a veteran of the French team, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Luo Teng looked at Tang Jue and said: "In 98, we won the World Cup for the first time, which is the result of the efforts of countless generations of French footballers. At that time, Platini turned the French team from a second-rate team in Europe to a first-class team. He is now remembered by French fans for leading France to the European Championship and to the semi-finals of the World Cup. ”
Lost in reminiscence, Roten continued: "Zinedine Zidane was the leader of the French team in '96. In '98 he led France to the World Cup, scoring twice in the final. He is a hero of French football. The 02 Korea-Japan World Cup was a nightmare for the French team! ”
"The defending champions were eliminated in the group stage. All the French knew that Zidane was injured. Back in France, the fans are more supportive of us after anger and disappointment. ”
Luo Teng looked at Tang Jue and said, "What does this mean?" This shows that it is not possible for the French team to leave Zidane. After last year's European Championships, Domenech wanted to hire a lot of new players and build a new French team. However, he failed. After six rounds of matches in the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, we were only fourth in the group. ”
Tang Jue's brows furrowed slightly.
Roten said: "Now he knows that without Zidane, the French team may not even be able to participate in the World Cup. So he had to redefine Zidane's position as the leader of the team. Hence the return of Makelele, Thuram and others. ”
Tang Jue asked in surprise: "You mean, the return of these veteran players was requested by Zidane?"
Luo Teng smiled: "So to speak. ”
There was shock in Tang Jue's eyes, a player's influence was so great that he could dominate the selection of the national team!
Tang Jue was a little depressed and asked, "So, my selection this time also has something to do with him?" ”
It's a matter of pride, and Don never wants to be in the French team because of someone's nomination. He would rather be in the French team because of his outstanding performance in the league. Because he remembered that he had expressed respect to Zidane in front of the media, and Zidane also expressed his good impression of Tang Jue in front of the media.
As a teammate of Saint-Germain, Luo Teng did not know what it meant. If it were someone else, I might not think so, but it is an honor to be recognized by Zidane and nominated by him to enter the French team!
Luo Teng shook his head and smiled: "You don't have to be nominated by Zidane. Because you fit the philosophy of the young Domenech team. ”
Hearing this, Tang Jue felt a little better in his heart.
Roten took a sip of water and said, "If I were Domenech, I would have pulled you into the French team." ”
After listening to Luo Teng's words, Tang Jue did not have pride in his heart, and he did not think about this problem from Domenech's point of view. All he has to do is keep scoring goals and winning in the game.
"So, Zidane and those veterans who have been with him for many years are the first class in the French team!"
Tang Jue looked at Luo Teng in surprise, this was the first time he had heard such an argument.
"It's like a core, the person closest to him, the higher the status. Their position in the team is unshakeable, including Domenech! Because he did, but he failed. ”
Luo Teng ignored Tang Jue's shock and continued: "Those stars who have become famous are second-class people, including Henry, Trezeguet and others. They are the heart or main force of each club, and they are all indispensable people in the club. They have their pride. ”
Luo Teng didn't say some things directly, but Tang Jue could understand them.
"Although those stars who are not very famous, but who can play the main role in the French team, they are also second-class people." Luo Teng pointed to himself and said, "For example, myself." ”
Roten has not played many times at Saint-Germain this season due to injury. Regarding Luo Teng's ability to enter the French team this time, Tang Jue had doubts in his heart. Now Tang Jue seems to understand the reason. It turns out that the national team is not selected solely on the basis of form.
"The fringe and substitutes in the main squad are third-class people. They are a reserve army and can only play when the main team is not in good shape. ”
Tang Jue looked up at Luo Teng and asked, "So, I'm a third-class person?" ”
"No!" Luo Teng said.
Tang Jue looked at him strangely, hoping for an answer. Judging from Luo Teng's statement, he must not be a first-class person, because he has not even seen Zidane himself, and more importantly, he has not been born and died with him.
In the same way, he cannot be a second-class person. Although he is the main striker of Saint-Germain, compared with Henry, who has been famous for a long time, Saint-Germain is not a giant, and he is still a small person in the world of football.
What is it that you are not a third-class person?
Luo Teng smiled and said, "You don't belong to these three categories now. I'm talking about the players who have basically established themselves in the French team, and you're TBD now. ”
Tang Jue understood after thinking about it. Roten's words inspired his fighting spirit, and half an hour earlier, he had vowed in front of the media that he would become the main striker of the French team. If you come to the French team to play soy sauce, then how can you raise your head in front of the media!
Luo Teng looked at the red light that appeared in Tang Jue's eyes, and knew what he was thinking in front of him. He admired Tang Jue for this, how a young player, if he lost his fighting spirit, how could he survive in the cruel competition.
"You may be a third-class person in the future, or a second-class person, or even a first-class person in a few years!"
This was the true thought in Luo Teng's heart, and he said what he thought.
Tang Jue raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Borrow your auspicious words, I hope this day will come soon." ”
Luo Teng suddenly showed a serious expression and said, "It's up to you to fight for it all by yourself, and no one can help you." Rome wasn't built in a day, and the title wasn't won overnight. Take it one step at a time, and every step must be solid. ”
Tang Jue frowned and thought, and after a moment he asked: "In the team, strength doesn't take the first place, listening to you say this, it seems that there is something else besides strength." ”
Luo Teng looked at Tang Jue and remembered that this guy who only represented the club in the eleventh round of Ligue 1 helped Saint-Germain win the double at the end of the season. He also remembered the man who scored a staggering 29 goals in 26 Ligue 1 games and eight goals in six Champions League games.
Maybe I underestimated this one!
This is trying to rely on his own strong strength to fight for his position!
Maybe he can do it!
"Yes, at the end of the day, it's all about strength. As long as you are strong enough, there will be people to support you. There will also be people who will be willing to follow you. That's when you're the leader of the team! ”
Luo Teng exhaled a long breath and said, "You have such potential!" ”
"What potential?"
The door to the room opened, and the sound came from the doorway. Tang Jue and Luo Teng smiled and looked at the person who came in from the door. Ben Asholl walked in with a smile, and like Tang Jue, he was selected for the French team for the first time.
The three Saint-Germain team-mates greeted each other warmly. Sitting between Tang Jue and Luo Teng, Ben Assholl asked Luo Teng, "What potential did you just say?" ”
Luo Teng smiled: "I said, Tang has the potential to become the leader of the French team. ”
Ben Asauer raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course, Zidane said in front of the media that he will retire next year after the World Cup." Now he has not renewed his contract with Real Madrid. ”
"With Zinedine Zidane retiring, the French team needs a new leader. Perhaps Henry was a candidate, but after a few years, Henry grew old and needed a new leader. Tang is so young, there is time to grow. ”
Luo Teng smiled: "Even if Zidane retires, Henry can't be the leader of the team." ”
Two rookies who entered the French team for the first time were at a loss for a year!
