Chapter 232: Mediate the Conflict!
Don refused to be a lobbyist for Domenech, and he didn't want his teammates to think he was Domenech's man. There are a lot of veterans in the French team, and they are all the backbone of the team, and these veterans have always had problems with Domenech. In Tang Jue's blueprint, these veteran players should at least finish the Euro 08 Championship.
Jacques Chirac sent two of the most important figures in French football to deal with the contradictions within the French team. The two were on the plane, and they were figuring out where to start to solve the problem.
Tang Jue came out of Domenech's room and entered Zidane's room. Zidane and Makelle lived together, and Tang Jue told them about the conversation between the two. Zidane fell into deep thought, and Makelele said: "The responsibility for this matter is still on him, at least Zidane should be told his thoughts in advance." This way this dispute can be avoided. ”
Zidane shook his head and said incomprehensibly: "Fighting spirit? What bullshit. He has to do this trick with the South Korean team, and if he plays against the German team, what tricks will he play? Put all of us on the bench? ”
Clearly, Zidane did not approve of Domenech's approach. Tang Jue left after a few words of comfort, this kind of thing is not something that can be solved by himself. Let's wait for those who are heavier to solve it.
……
The next day, the major print media expressed their opinions on the match between France and South Korea. Last night's game was full of content, with reversals, hat-tricks, and contradictions between Zidane, Tang Jue and Domenech. They describe and analyze these at great length.
The title of the team newspaper is: Don scores a hat-trick, France wins 3-1!
The team newspaper believes that Tang Jue's appearance changed the situation. Tilting the scales of victory in favor of the French team. Three goals, all of them brilliant. Especially the third goal, which they think can be compared to Maradona's goal in the 86th World Cup. They expressed concern about the contradictions in the French dressing room, believing that it would affect the French team to go further.
The newspaper called on the French team to abandon their preconceptions and unite. Only in this way can we achieve good results.
Marca's headline was: Hat-trick in fifteen minutes, Don helps France turn the score!
The headline of the Milan sports newspaper read: Hat-trick stunned the crowd, Don helped France advance to the round of 16!
The media praised Tang Jue, believing that he improved the attacking power of the French team and changed the status quo of "weak forwards". The Spanish media in front of Don's hat-trick. He had to be praised as well. Call him the master of last night's game.
The Spanish media focused on the conflict in the dressing room of the French team, and they believed that the French team was full of conflicts before the game, there were conflicts between players and players, and now there are conflicts between players and coaches. There is no team in the world. It was in the midst of contradictions that he won the World Cup. Their conclusions were straightforward. Such a French team. It is impossible to eliminate all kinds of heroes, and win the World Cup after the most Lu.
The UEFA headline is: Shine all over the field, Don with a hat to help France beat South Korea!
FIFA's headline is: Youngsters in charge. France won 3-1 and advanced to the round of 16 in advance!
The match had another effect, as British bookmakers adjusted France's odds to win the tournament from 8.34 to 6.1, with France moving back from seventh to fourth.
While the French fans were happy, they also expressed concern about the team. Some media interviewed fans, and almost all of them hoped that the team should abandon their preconceptions and be able to unite.
AFP reported at 9 a.m. on the 19th: French Football Federation President K? Seamo, along with French football icon Michel Platini, arrived in Leipzig in the early hours of last night. The purpose of the trip to Leipzig was not stated at the airport, but according to media speculation, the purpose of their trip was to mediate the conflict within the French team.
As soon as this news was released, there was a lot of discussion in the outside world, and everyone was speculating about how far the contradictions of the French team had developed, so that these two had to mediate in the dust.
BBC commented: The contradictory French team, although they qualified from the group ahead of schedule, the problem they faced was not a strong opponent, but themselves. The last to beat the French team was not their opponent, it was most likely their internal contradictions.
Spanish TV commented that Zidane's last World Cup is bound to be difficult. This difficulty began in the qualifiers, where the French team had a minimum ranking of fourth place in the group. At that time, the conflict with Domenech led to his inability to participate in the first few games. Domenech had to be recalled to the national team under strong pressure from inside and outside.
It turns out that the current French team is simply inseparable from Zidane.
The World Cup has officially begun, and the French team has won two consecutive victories, which is gratifying. But last night, we saw Don sitting on the bench and Zidane came off without saying hello to Domenech. All this shows that the contradictions between him and Domenech have reached an irreconcilable level.
A generation of midfield maestro is leaving, and we wish him a good ending.
The reason why Spanish TV commented this is because of Zidane's success at Real Madrid. Other Spanish media began to fire at Tang Jue, believing that Tang Jue caused the conflict with the French team.
They even made it up that Don would ask for a start before the game, and Domenech would not agree. At halftime, Tang Jue asked to play again, but Domenech still did not agree. Tang Jue instigated the team's veteran players to argue with Domenech, which led to the expansion of the conflict in the locker room.
The Spanish media portrayed Tang Jue as a selfish person who provoked conflicts within the team in order to achieve the goal of making himself play. As soon as these news were released, they were actually reprinted by many media. Because Tang Jue has always been very strong in front of the media, they think that this news is in line with his personality and usual practices.
A victory that should have been praised by the media, but due to the contradictions within the French team, the victory was quickly forgotten. Tang Jue scored a hat trick, which should have received more praise, but under the speculation of the Spanish media, people had doubts about Tang Jue's character.
……
Gram? At eight o'clock the next morning, Seamus and Platini had a two-person meeting. Their task is daunting. It is better to resolve such a thing as a contradiction as soon as possible, otherwise no one will be able to clean it up if it continues to develop. After discussion, the two carried out a division of labor. Simo is in charge of Domenech and Platini is in charge of Zidane's group of veterans.
Ten o'clock in the morning, Zidane's room. The players who were called up by Platini were all players who had a high impact on the team. Zinedine Zidane, Thuram, Claude Makelele, Thierry, Butters, Patrick Vieira and Don were all present. Platini sat in a chair in the middle of the room, Zidane sat on his left and Thuram sat on his right. Others sat around them.
Everyone's face in the room was full of solemnity. The air is oppressive. Platini exhaled a long breath and broke the silence and said: "I was watching your game in the hotel in Munich last night, and I received a call from the president after the second half of the game began. He asked me to fly to Leipzig right away. As for what reason and purpose. You should be able to guess. ”
"And the gram that came with me? Mr. Seamos. He is now communicating with Domenech. ”
"Last night, all of France rejoiced in your victory. What is this for? Because this is the World Cup, this is the World Cup once every four years. It is the highest stage in football. ”
"No one wants to leave the World Cup prematurely, how many times can a person experience the World Cup in his life. Twice? Three times? Or four times? ”
"Do you want to hope for the next one? How many of you will be able to participate in the next World Cup? ”
Zidane's eyes showed struggle, and Henry wondered if he still had a chance to compete in the next World Cup. Makelle looked at Platini and said: "The main reason for this contradiction is that it is him, not that we want to deliberately provoke trouble. ”
Next, Makelle recounted what had happened. After listening to this, Platini looked at Tang Jue after pondering for a few seconds and asked, "Before the game, did there any conflict between you and the coach?" ”
Tang Jue shook his head and said, "No, our previous relationship has always been very harmonious. ”
Platini was once again lost in thought, and Thuram said, "You are right, many of us will not be able to participate in the next edition. Who doesn't want to have a good performance in the last World Cup. ”
"For this team right now, Don's role is irreplaceable. He had a good performance in the first game, so why put him on the bench? I don't understand what he thinks. ”
"At half-time we were behind and at half-time we suggested that Don should be played. It was sound advice, and it turned out that Don changed the situation on the field very quickly after coming on the field. What is he still bent on? Didn't he hear the shouts of the fans in the stadium? ”
"I agree with Zidane's point of view, his coaching ability is questionable!"
Both Makelele and Thuram used "he" in place of Domenech, and Platini didn't know about these veteran players and had a lot of opinions about Domenech.
Platini looked up and said, "Me and Gram?" Seamus came to resolve the conflict between you. In my judgment, the most important problem between you is the lack of communication. If you communicate well, there will be no such problems. ”
Makelle was about to speak when Platini shook his hand at him, motioning for him to finish his sentence.
"Also, I don't think you have any respect for Domenech in your hearts. I don't want to go into the reasons for this question. As a manager, he has the right to arrange when the players are on the pitch and as a player, you should follow the manager's instructions when you are on the field. ”
"If you have a disagreement with his arrangement, you can communicate after the game instead of arguing with him on the spot. We can put ourselves in the shoes of a manager, if you are a manager, how do you deal with this situation? ”
The room became quiet. Vieira broke the silence and said: "I support Mr. Platini's point of view. It's the manager's right when the players come on and what do we think and we should communicate with him after the game. ”
The corners of Zidane's mouth were slightly upturned, and a look of contempt appeared in his eyes. Tang Jue shook his head in his heart, and the future UEFA president was about to start talking. Vieira sneered in his heart: You old guys are about to leave, and it is better to have a good relationship with Platini than to have a good relationship with you.
Platini nodded happily after hearing this, and he was even more impressed by Vieira.
Tang Jue raised his head and looked at Platini and said, "This matter started because of me, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. On a case-by-case basis, the key point of this matter is that there is a problem in communication. Mr. Domenech is very aware of the situation in the team, so he should have communicated with Zidane beforehand. In this way, unnecessary misunderstandings can be avoided. ”
'I think it's very common for a manager to talk to the team leaders about the team. After all, the team leader is the bridge between the players and the coach. ”
Tang Jue contradicted Vieira's views, and he put the blame on Domenech. Zidane and the other old men nodded yes, and Vieira sneered in his heart: You are still too tender, these guys are leaving. What an idiot! (To be continued......)
