After Zidane and the others left, it was already 12:40 in the morning. Tang Jue picked up the phone and found that there were five missed calls on it, three of which were Alice's, one was from his parents, and one was Wen Ting's. Patrick didn't call, which was agreed upon by the two.

Tang Jue looked at these missed calls, and there was warmth flowing in his heart. He first called his parents and told them that he was fine. Then he dialed Wen Ting's phone again, and the voice on the other end of the phone was still cold, as if a cold wind came from the microphone, which made him cool down suddenly.

After Wen Ting briefly inquired about Tang Jue's physical condition, she immediately hung up the phone. Tang Jue wanted to ask her about the research on drugs for the treatment of liver cirrhosis, but Wen Ting didn't give him this opportunity at all.

Before calling Alice, he sent a message to Patrick telling her that there was nothing wrong with his body. Patrick replied to him: Thank God! Be sure to take care!

Thinking of Alice's anxious call to herself, Tang Jue's heart was full of warmth. He knew that Alice must not have slept yet, waiting for his call.

"Honey, have you finished checking? Questions? Is the head injury serious? Damn them, I want to kill them! ”

Alice threw three questions in a row. Tang Jue reassured her that after careful examination by the hospital, her body was fine, and she would be able to reappear on the training ground in two days. Alice immediately said, "Okay, since you can't train for the past two days, come to me, and I'll recuperate for you." ”

The quarter-finals against Brazil will be played at the Forest Stadium in Frankfurt. Domenech arranged a day of rest in Hanover before flying to Frankfurt. Tang Jue told Alice to go to her hotel early tomorrow morning after asking the coach for leave.

……

The next day, the major media in the world reported on the one-eighth final. Sky Sports said: "The French team had the last laugh when it came to the strong dialogue. France reversed the score and eliminated the Spanish Matadors with a score of 3-1 to enter the quarterfinals. ”

Don had said before the game. He's going to keep Spain down in front of him forever. He did it last night! ”

"In last night's game. Don was stubbornly resisted by Alonso. Alonso used both hands and feet to crack Don's eyebrow bone and severely injured his ankle twice. But Don had an inhuman-like body, and he got up from the stretcher again and again. Back on the pitch.

"It's that spirit that motivates the French players. Three times they pierced the gate guarded by Casillas. And keep the score 3-1 until the end of the game. Zinedine Zidane lived up to his pre-match words: 'This is not my last game!' ’。 Raul's twenty-ninth birthday present was a failure. ”

"Reaching the quarter-finals, France will face a strong opponent – five-star Brazil. Brazil has won four consecutive victories in this World Cup. Their luxurious attack group is terrifying. With a healthy Ronnie and a booming Kaka, the two of them are Brazil's guarantee of goals. ”

"After the final in '98, after eight years, the two teams met again in the World Cup. Who's going to have the last laugh? A wonderful showdown is about to be unfolded in front of the eyes of fans all over the world. The duel between Zidane and Rooney, the duel between Kaka and Don, these two pairs of players from different eras, what kind of excitement will be performed? ”

Milan Sport said: "Last night it was not so much France's victory over Spain as it was about Don's victory over Alonso, his victory over Spain. One assist, one goal, and Don changed the situation on the field with two feet. Alonso was completely at the bottom of the showdown with Don. ”

At the press conference, Domenech said that Don was on the spot without anesthetic, and he took the toughness to the extreme. His spirit is so strong that it's terrifying. We don't know what he thought at the time, but if he were someone else, he would probably give up the game and go to the hospital for stitches. But he didn't! ”

"Brazil had a smooth ride in the previous tournament and didn't encounter much resistance. This is not necessarily a good thing for them, because they have not been brutally tested. France, on the other hand, faced two times when they were behind the scoreline. These two experiences for the French team were excellent experiences for them. ”

"France are a standpoint for Brazil, they had a mediocre performance in the group stage, with two wins and one defeat. Including last night's game, they have already been breached first twice by the opposition. This is indicative of a problem at the back, which is good news for Brazil. ”

"When the two strong meet, it's normal for whoever laughs the most. Brazil has the advantage in strength and France in spirit. What kind of passionate collision will two teams with elegant and gorgeous playing styles stage? ”

The match was also covered at great length by the print media. The title of the team report is: France reversed the score 3-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals!

The headline of the Marca newspaper read: 1-3 reversal, Spain lost!

Italy's Torino Sport newspaper praised Thuram and said that with the form he showed last night, there would be no problem playing for Juventus for three or five years. They praised Thuram for hitting back with a header against those who had doubted him.

The headline of the British Daily Mail is: Don Bloodstained Stadium, France reversed 3-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals!

The photo they put on the right side of the article is a photo of Tang Jue wearing a bandage on his head and breaking through with a ball. In their comments, they said: Alonso failed to stop Don and was sent off instead. Don had said before the game that he was going to make Spain bow their heads in front of him forever. He did it last night!

The so-called success and defeat of the king, the media praised the French team and criticized Spain. Many media outlets thought that last night's match should have been more exciting, and the Spanish defenders turned the match into a wrestling ring, which greatly diminished the excitement.

Even the Spanish media have criticized Spain's style of play, arguing that they have turned their backs on Spain's usual elegant style of play. The French media was even more cynical, reviving the war of words between the two teams before the game. Don did not perform well in the warm-up match before the official start of the World Cup, when he was ridiculed by the Spanish media.

The French media took this opportunity to launch a strong counterattack, laughing that the French team was specially designed to subdue the matadors. Don is an extremely sharp knife that can cut the matador to the ground with two swords!

Some media even have cartoons: Tang Jue is holding a big knife in his hand, smiling at the bullfighter who fell to the ground. Blood was still dripping from the knife, and the matador had two wounds on his body, and blood was flowing from the wounds.

The Spanish media can't fight back right away, they have to wait for Brazil's chance to beat France, when they will double up. They are like killers hiding in the dark, and when the enemy gets close enough, they will jump out of the darkness and give the opponent a hard blow, and they are waiting for the opportunity to appear.

Many newspapers in China have also carried out a lot of reports on this game, and China Sports News has used such a headline: In ancient times, there were bone scraping to cure poison, and now there are sideline stitches!

……

At 11 o'clock in the morning the next day, Spain took a bus to the airport, they were going back to Spain, and the World Cup had already met them again. At the entrance to the airport, there are a large number of journalists waiting. The pre-match war of words between the two teams has aroused the interest of the media, as if the story has an attractive start and they are about to get a good ending.

When Raul appeared in the field of vision of the media reporters with a cane, the French reporters began to get excited.

"Mr. Raul, what do you think of last night's game?"

"You said before the game that a win would be your best birthday present, can you talk about how you feel now?"

"You used to say that last night's game was Zidane's last game. As it turned out, last night was your last match of the tournament. Do you regret what you once said? ”

Countless questions were thrown at Raul like bombshells, and in an instant, Raul seemed to be blown to pieces. Raul's face was an unhealthy white, and every word of the reporter was like a sharp knife stuck in his heart. As if he hadn't heard the reporter's words, he limped straight into the airport.

The bombs thrown at Alonso by journalists were:

"Don came back from the hospital last night and the French team said his injury was not serious and he could play in Brazil. Did you want him to lie in bed and watch France play Brazil? ”

"Some people say you don't feel like a Spanish player at all, but a butcher. What do you think about this? ”

"Judging from the TV footage, you had a lot of conversations with Don during the game, what did you all say at the time?"

"What do you think of Don as a person?"

"What do you think of Don?"

The bombs that journalists threw at Casillas were:

"You also said before the game that this was Zidane's last game. Now what are you going to say? ”

"You said before the game that you wouldn't let Don break through the goal you were guarding. He volleyed in and it was successful, what do you think of his shot? ”

A French reporter asked even more viciously: "What did you gain in the duel with Tang?" ”

The Spanish players didn't seem to see the reporters at all, they lowered their heads and quickly walked into the airport, which made the reporters waiting for them quite depressed. The famous football commentator of France Télévision, Henrik? Speaking to the camera, Hilario said: "The Spanish player left without answering any questions from reporters. No one knew what was going on in their minds right now. Maybe years from now, we can see in the memoirs of a certain player what they are thinking at the moment. ”

……

Cristiano Ronaldo, whose injury has improved slightly, said in an interview with the media: "I hope to meet Don in the semi-finals! ”

"We had a fight in the United States before and he was rebuked by a lot of the media. I thought he would succeed. I'm looking forward to playing against him in the World Cup! ”

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to meet Tang Jue in the semi-finals, and this is premised on the premise that Portugal and France must win first, and then both of them must be healthy. These two guys, who are known for their pride, if they really meet in the World Cup, what kind of sparks will they have?

Tang Jue immediately said in front of the media that he would definitely fulfill Ronaldo's wishes! (To be continued......)
