"Captain, is that little guy in Thierry okay? How do I think that since that attempt to break through Nesta head-on, only to be taught by the other party to be a human being in person, this kid's spirit has collapsed? This was the 41st minute of the game, and after Desailly and Blank once again struggled to resist the combined impact of Vieri and Inzaghi, Desailly asked Deschamps, "Do you think we should build Coach YƬ Lemaire to adjust the lineup at halftime, at least let us put enough pressure on the opponent on the offensive end!" Otherwise, we wouldn't have beaten the Italians on defense alone. ā
Desailly's words are true, and if he and Blank had not played well in the first half, showing the best form and destroying Vieri and Inzaghi again and again, France would have been ahead of their opponents by now.
"Give him a little more time, I'm sure he'll adjust." Deschamps glanced sympathetically at Henry, who was a little distracted in front of him, and made this assessment, "Marcel (Desailly), we are all in our thirties now, and the team will be handed over to these young people sooner or later." If we deny their value so hastily, I fear that it will have an irreversible negative impact on their future. So, I think we should give them a little more trust. After all, the future of French football belongs to the young people, not the old guys who haven't had a few years to play. ā
"Okay, then I'll hold on a little longer." Hearing Deschamps say this, Desailly couldn't express any more objections, so he had to nod yes, "Although the future of French football does depend on these young players to support it, there are still some things I still have to say. We will have time to develop young people in the future, but the European Championship final is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many of us, and I hope you can think carefully about the mood of our older generation of French players. ā
"......" did not respond to Desailly's final reminder, but just silently watched Desailly, who was also silent, continue to devote himself to the game. To be honest, the 32-year-old Deschamps certainly wants to end his national team career with a European Championship title, and is also very dissatisfied with Henry's weakness after the failure to challenge Nesta, but unlike Desailly, as the captain of the team, he has to think more about things, and he can't just take action with a little interest in front of him!
If a team-mate chooses to abandon him without hesitation as soon as he is in a slump, then what is the point of Deschamps as captain?
Of course, the time left for Henry to adjust his mentality is also time-limited. If Henry still doesn't improve in the following time, then Deschamps can only ask Coach to replace him quickly, so as not to adversely affect the morale of the other players.
As a result, under the command of Deschamps, the French team, which was weak in attack, finally relied on tenacious defense to survive the last minutes of the first half of the game, and persisted until Friske blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and did not let Italy, which launched a counterattack in the final stage, score!
Although the score between the two teams is still tied 0-0 on the pitch, many eagle-eyed people can see that after Thierry Henry suddenly fell into a slump, the French team, which had lost this main point of firepower, looked rather lackluster in attack and struggled to cause enough problems for the Italian defence. On the other hand, the Italian side is full of vitality, Totti and Fiore and others are constantly sending cannonballs to the front, and Vieri and Inzaghi are even more firepower with their support, bullying the opposing Blanc and others!
"France are in a bit of a precarious situation right now, although they played at the highest level of defense tonight, but if Henry continues to be in such a slump and France can't put enough pressure on the offensive end, then France will probably not be able to escape the fate of losing the final." During the break, Roberto Baggio was analysing and predicting the situation of the second half of the game between the two sides, "Although good defense is the foundation of a championship team, it is obviously impossible to score goals by defending alone, and without attack, victory is naturally impossible...... After all, it's unlikely that every team will have the same good fortune as Italy did against the Netherlands in the semi-finals, saving six penalties in a single game. Not to mention, even if Italy did not rely on a penalty shootout goal to eliminate the Netherlands and reach the final in the end? ā
"Oh! Dear fans, look at what we found! At this time, a photographer accidentally photographed a figure hiding in the corner that was very familiar to the majority of fans, so that the commentator couldn't help but interrupt Baggio's chatter, "I believe that all fans who care about Italy are familiar with this character in the camera, that's right, this is Luciano Moggie, the general manager of Juventus Club!" He also came to watch the European Championship final between Italy and France! ā
Moji, who didn't realize that he had been captured by the camera, was staring at the pitch with a frown, and from time to time he looked down and wrote something in his small notebook - obviously, Mo Lao Fox had gained something from this game, but he didn't know which player he had his eye on this time, and was ready to take him to the Alp Stadium.
Of course, what worries many French fans even more is whether their talented striker Thierry Henry will be ruthlessly abandoned by Moggie for his sluggish performance in the first half of the game - while this may be a good thing for Henry's career, it may also cause Henry to lose faith in himself and collapse from the crowd!
This is not that the French are worrying about it for nothing, you must know that Henry's predecessor, the once hot shooter in European football, QƬ Papin, suddenly fell after joining Serie A, so Henry is naturally likely to repeat Papin's mistakes.
However, no matter how worried the French may be, time waits for no one. Fifteen minutes later, the duel between Italy and France resumed at the whistle of Friske!
The French players who held the ball looked depressed, looking at the turtle shell in front of them that disgusted them, and they didn't know where to start; Instead, the Italians continued to play with their defensive counter-attacks on the pitch, attacking the French door again and again!
