After the Paris daily newspaper published Tang Jue's remarks, it caused heated discussions among French fans. After thinking about it, many fans thought that the so-called controversy should be stopped and the players could prepare for the European Championship in a calm environment. But some other people have even more opinions about Tang Jue.

"If the French people think Anelka is more important than me, I can leave the French team and let him be the main striker of the French team, or even let him be the captain, I have no complaints!" What is this called, is this obviously a pride in talent!

So there were some radical fans at the French team's training base, unfurling banners - we don't need Anelka, we don't need Don!

The anti-Tang coalition became excited, and they finally seized the opportunity to attack Tang Jue, so one article after another attacking him appeared in the British and Catalan media. They want to vent the depression that has been stagnant for a season!

The overwhelming sound of the crusade came like a huge wave, and Tang Jue was drowned out. The most painful thing for him was the banner unfurled by the fans outside the training ground. The old guys on the team advised him to ignore these guys. The French team's usual laughter has been reduced and replaced by seriousness.

……

Milan, Vieira's home, two couples sitting on the sofa in the living room, Shail? Pracha asked, "Why didn't you stand up and speak for him this time?" ”

After the Champions League final, Patrick Vieira stood up and thought he was the best choice for the French captain. Shayle? Pracha believes that this time the wave is even bigger than the last one, and her husband should stand up and speak.

Vieira laughed and said, "I've already helped him once. This time he had to carry it himself. If you want to achieve great things, you must be able to resist the tremendous pressure from the outside world. And he is different from others, the louder the voice of opposition, questioning, and sarcasm, the more it can stimulate his fighting spirit. ”

"He's not in good shape right now, and there's got to be a strong stimulus to get him motivated and his potential. I think it's a good atmosphere and it's good for him to improve as soon as possible. In addition, at this time, there must be someone more suitable than me to encourage him, and those people in the Football Association will not be indifferent. ”

Shayle? Pracha shook his head and said, "Things are too complicated between you men, and at first the two of you fought to the death. Then he came to you on his own initiative. Asked you to go back to the French team, and you turned him down. I thought you were mortal enemies, but not long ago you were complimenting each other in front of the media. Appreciate each other. ”

……

June 3 at 3 p.m. Stade des Princes, Paris. France welcomed Hungary in their only pre-European Championship warm-up match. Don never started and sat on the bench.

Some fans put up a banner: Don is the cancer of the French team. He should leave the French team!

Tang Jue looked at this banner coldly, and when he turned his head, he saw another one: We can't let an unpatriotic person be the captain!

What a feeling it is, sad!

Henry, who was also sitting on the bench, patted him on the shoulder, pointed to another banner and said: "Don, look, you have supporters!" ”

Tang Jue looked in the direction Henry's finger pointed.

"Don! We always have your back! ”

"Don! You are the eternal captain in our hearts! ”

Tang Jue exhaled a long breath and said, "I will play for them in the future!" ”

……

At 3:15, the game officially began. The forward line of Benzema and Govu began to attack the Hungarian backline, and the Hungarian midfield formed an impregnable wall outside the box. Domenech put all the players who played in the Champions League final on the bench in the hope that they will get more rest. This has greatly affected the strength of the French team.

Over time, Hungary slowly turned the tide and gradually took control of the game. France were in danger in front of goal, and if it weren't for the consistency of Thuram and Kupe, their city would have been breached by the opposition long ago.

Both teams ended the first half 0-0. After the halftime break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, the French team still did not get rid of passivity, and the fans in the stands began to shout Tang Jue's name, but Domenech was unmoved and did not let Tang Jue play.

In the fifteenth minute of the second half, the French coach began to make substitutions one after another. With Thierry Henry, Franck Ribery, Makelele and others on the pitch, the French team will gradually turn around their disadvantage and their offensive will gradually increase. Ribery is on the left flank, and he is the most active in the French team. In the second minute of his play, he tore through the opposition defence and crossed the ball to the middle. Henry grabbed the spot and shot at goal, but was saved by the opposing goalkeeper.

In the thirtieth minute of the second half, Ribery suddenly cut inside with the ball, flashed out of the shooting space, and shot angrily. The ball hits the crossbar and bounces off the bottom line. No one expected that it would be France's most dangerous shot of the game.

As the referee's whistle sounded at the end of the game, the two sides shook hands 0-0. Tang Jue returned to the locker room immediately after the game, and he did not want to stay on this court. You know, he started his career on this course four years ago.

There were so many fond memories of that season that time had passed, and the stadium was no longer welcome. The hearts of the people are the hardest to guess, and at that time he had just made his debut and won the hearts of the Parisian fans. Now he is famous all over the world, but there are people who oppose him.

Tang Jue returned to the locker room expressionlessly and sat in his seat, his heart was very complicated.

"Squeak! ......" The door to the locker room opened, and he instinctively raised his head, and a tall figure met his eyes.

With an unruly expression and a casual outfit, the person who came was the famous Cantona. It was the mentor at the start of his career, and when he arrived at Saint-Germain, Cantona developed a training and competition plan for him to help him move at rocket speed.

Don was able to play in Ligue 1 in his first season at Saint-Germain and has a close relationship with Cantona. As if seeing his own relatives, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Cantona tightly.

"What's wrong? I know you're stressed, but that's not your character! Cantona patted him on the shoulder. He saw the tears hidden in Tang Jue's eyes. This guy, who is known for his strong will, actually cried!

Tang Jue rubbed his eyes and said embarrassedly: "In front of you, can't I be weak?" ”

Cantona laughed a few times and said, "Yes! OK! I don't know how surprised the outside world would be if they saw you like this. The iron man in their eyes, the tenacious fighter in their eyes, actually cried! ”

Tang Jue complained: "Are you here to make fun of me? ”

Cantona patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I am your staunchest supporter, how could I make fun of you." ”

The two then sat down, and Cantona looked at him carefully and said, "Grow up! ”

"There's a lot going on!" Tang Jue said.

The corners of Cantona's mouth curled up and said, "As long as you're a star." Things will come to you. The greater the fame. The more things you do, the more you have to get used to it. ”

Tang Jue shook his head and said: "I am not afraid of any challenge in Real Madrid, but this time is different, my opponent is French fans. ”

Cantona smiled and said, "I've heard the story of you and UltrasSur boss Diani. The same fans. You can deal with Real Madrid fans. Can't you deal with the fans in France? ”

Tang Jue's mood suddenly brightened!

At this time, the French players returned to the dressing room when they spotted Eric Cantona. They stepped forward one after another to hug the senior. Domenech shook his hand and said, "Thank you for coming to visit us!" ”

"It's an eventful time, and you need encouragement, so I'm here," Cantona said with a smile. ”

"Then tell us a few words!" Domenech said.

Cantona nodded and said, "It's time to say a few words!" ”

……

"Euro '96 was painful for me. Jacques completely forgot about me, and I could only sit at home and watch the French team play, and I hated him immensely. A year later, I retired, and two years later, France won their first Hercules Cup on home soil, and I was just a spectator. ”

Jacques was to unite in the dressing room and let former captain Eric Cantona leave the French team. Jacques's decision at that time was criticized by French fans. In May '97, at the age of 31, Cantona led Manchester United to the Premier League title, but in July, he suddenly announced his retirement, leaving a series of questions and regrets in world football. Is he going to reveal the truth behind it today?

"Admittedly, not being able to play at Euro '96 hit me too hard and leaving France I lost the motivation to keep playing. So at the end of the '97 season, I chose to retire. ”

Tang Jue fell into deep thought, could it be that Cantona said this to himself?

"After retiring, I have always had a problem with Jacques. Now I slowly understand that maybe I'm in the team, France won't be able to reach the top in '98. Jacques may have been right to abandon me for the sake of a united French team. ”

"Solidarity is the most important thing to win the championship, so we must also unite now to resist the pressure from the outside world!"

"I think every single one of you wants to achieve the glory of 2000 and to win the European Championship for the first time in two years after winning the World Cup, which is a feat. Now, you should be brave enough to stand up and fight the pressure together to achieve your dreams! ”

"I'm here today, on the one hand, by the president of the Football Association? Simosoto, on the other hand, I do want to tell you what is on my mind at this time. ”

He pointed at Tang Jue and said: "He is a player I personally trained, his growth is beyond my expectations, he is the pride of my life." I don't want my tragedy to happen to him! He's your captain now, and he's done what a captain is supposed to do, stepping up in key games to help the team get through and win the game. How many players like this can you find in today's football? ”

'He's got you guys going, he's indispensable to the French team. If you have any other ideas right now, I think you should think about quitting the French team. Because what the current French team needs is unity, and the current French team needs the championship trophy to save the image of French football! ”

"He can lead you to the winner's podium!"

Cantona concluded: "I'm done, the future is in your own hands, you can choose!" ”

Tang Jue stepped forward and hugged him again, and the former mentor stepped forward in times of danger and moved him by example. Cantona patted him on the shoulder and said, "I can only help you get here, you need to go up and down the field to solve everything." However, I have always believed in you, that you are a great player, that you can bring glory to French football! ”

Tang Jue nodded and said, "I won't let you down!" ”

Thuram exclaimed: "Anelka is a cancer, he has ruined the image of French football. We can only unite now and fight for the European Championships. I'm very old now, and every event could be the last for me. Now, if anyone makes any more irresponsible remarks in the team, don't blame me for being rude to him! ”

Makelele nodded and said, "Yes, if anyone has anything else in mind, hide it as soon as possible, and don't let me see it." I was in France for one day and I didn't allow different voices to come out. Brothers, this European Championship has a double meaning for us, one is that we want to achieve the feat of 2000 and the other is that we need the trophy to save the image of French football. (To be continued......)
