Chapter 199: He's a Myth-Maker!
Major European media commented on the semi-final between Russia and France. The French press fully praised the French team for a resounding victory, because the whole game did not launch a few threatening attacks from Russia at all. The Paris newspaper believes that this is the credit of Tang Jue.
"France beat arch-rivals Italy in a do-or-die battle and a first-round knockout win over what they called 'the strongest Spain team of all time', and Don scored back-to-back hat-tricks in both games. He became a difficult problem for Hiddink, and the Dutch, after careful consideration, abandoned tradition and recycled the defensive line. ”
"Giving up high pressing up front and recovering the defence, the Dutchman thinks that erecting an iron wall in front of the penalty area can block the attack of the trident. He did it in the first half, and France failed to break the Russian goal with wave after wave of attacks. In the post-match press conference, we learned that Guus Hiddink had calculated that as long as Russia could withstand France's attack in the first 20 minutes of the second half, they would launch a fierce attack. ”
But Don let his calculations fail, and in the ninth minute of the second half, he used a sharp break to beat five Russian players and send the ball to Henry's feet just as he was about to fall to the ground. The unguarded Henry made it all in one fell swoop and opened the door to victory! ”
"The three major weapons to break through dense defence - breakthroughs, set-pieces, and long-range shots. The French team has the sharpest breakthrough star in the world, so they did not use the last two weapons at all, and let Russia surrender. With the score ahead, the French team played more calmly, and they launched a quick counterattack with a steady defence. ”
"From the ninth minute of the second half. Don dominated the game, with one goal and two assists, and France beat Russia completely. Henry used two goals to forcefully counter certain media outlets, who before the start of the European Championships, thought he was old and the weakest link in the trident. ”
"It was Don who made Hiddink abandon tradition and change his style of play, and it was Don who dominated the game. Who can stop such a Don? ”
Don said in his post-match press conference. Twenty-four years ago, the European Championship belonged to Platini. This European Championship belongs to him. These words are domineering and make people's blood boil! If France can beat Germany in the final, Don can hold his head up and greet the worship of the world - this European Championship is mine! ”
Many French media believe that the biggest reason for Russia's defeat is the abandonment of tradition. The reason for abandoning the traditional style of play is to contain Tang Jue. But Hiddink did not succeed. Tang Jue showed his dominance in the game. They believe that the success of the French team comes from Tang Jue, from his excellent form.
The Russian media also attributed Russia's defeat to the abandonment of traditional play. "No team can win the championship on the basis of abandoning tradition," said the newspaper Della Russimo. Tradition is the direction of the long-term development of football in a country, and players have a thorough understanding of tradition, and suddenly change their style of play, and players simply cannot master it in a short period of time. ”
"Hiddink made a mistake on this, so Russia failed miserably, and it was so ugly. Now is not the time to hold accountable, Mr. Hiddink has been credited to Russian football by leading the team to the best results in Russian history. ”
Komsomolskaya Pravda commented: The miracle did not happen, the magical journey ended, and Russia fell outside the gates of the final. There is no point in arguing about the responsibility for defeat now, Russia has to look forward, they still have a future, the World Cup in South Africa in two years, it is their hope, the Russian people hope that they can soar into the sky!
The Russian media both criticized Hiddink and acknowledged his contribution to Russian football, and they did not want to lose the Dutchman.
Almost everyone commented on the game by name of three people - Tang Jue, Hiddink, and Henry. Tang Jue was the reason for Hiddink's abandonment of tradition, Hiddink's abandonment of tradition was the reason for Russia's defeat, and Henry's brace was one of the biggest contributors to France's victory.
After commenting on this semi-final, the media and people's attention was on the upcoming final. Tang Jue's remarks aroused heated discussions, especially the one-sided criticism of the German media, as if a huge wave was surging and had a tendency to swallow him. Major European media have expressed their opinions, and the team newspaper believes that the final is a close game, and it will not be a surprise to anyone who wins.
They said: Germany has a balanced attack and defense, France has a strong attack, Don is in good shape, both teams have a chance and a reason to win the championship. Germany have not won a continental tournament since Euro 96 and are hungry for a title.
Eight years ago, Zinedine Zidane led the French team to win the World Cup and immediately won the European Championship, putting the French team on top of the world. As if in a reincarnation, France won the World Cup in '06, and two years later, they overcame all odds to reach the final of the European Championship. Can Don lead the team back to glory like his predecessors? So the French team is also hungry for the title.
It has been said that the leader of a team influences the style of a team. Under the leadership of Zinedine Zidane, the French team is elegant and gorgeous, this French team is different from eight years ago, under the leadership of Don, elegant with tenacity, gorgeous with strong confidence.
The two can't be compared because they play in different positions and in different eras. The only intersection between the two was in the '06 World Cup. Zinedine Zidane's old and strong command led France to the final and scored the 'spoon penalty' that shocked the world. At that time, it was thought that this was the World Cup that belonged to Zidane. ”
If there was no Materazzi, the World Cup in '06 would have belonged to Zidane. But with Materazzi, the '06 World Cup is no longer his own. The '06 World Cup was Don's first World Cup, and at the age of eighteen, the young should only sit on the bench, however, Domenech put him in the main position.
Playing in the World Cup for the first time, eight goals, which is the same number of goals scored in Ronnie's '02 World Cup. The '02 World Cup was Ronnie's, his pinnacle. Don did the pinnacle of Ronnie's first World Cup appearance. In the 06 World Cup final, Zidane's lonely back broke the hearts of many Frenchmen, and Tang was born at this time, using a shocking and crying volley barb to kill Italy and save Zidane.
The 06 World Cup is a World Cup shared by Zidane and Don, and they led the French team together to the top of the world again, so that the last battle of Zidane's career ended with victory and ended with standing on the top of the world, so that he retired without regrets.
Some people say that the final was the match in which Don officially took over the French team. After Zinedine Zidane's retirement, Domenechli overrode the crowd and made Don captain of the French team. This is the youngest captain of the French team in history, and Domenech's decision proved to be the right one.
France reached the finals unbeaten in European Championship qualifying, in the Group of Death. France defeated Italy in a do-or-die battle to reach the knockout round. The first opponent in the knockout round was the mighty Spain, who won 4-2, and in the semi-finals, they met Russia, who won 3-0.
Of all these brilliant records, which victory has nothing to do with Don? In the second match of the group stage, France lost 0-2 to the Netherlands, which was the first time France lost in an official match in nearly four years. There was no Don in that game because he was injured.
In the battle of life and death, the Tang king returned and scored a hat trick. After this game, the wave of "down-down" that surged in France before the opening of the European Championship disappeared without a trace, and people understood the importance of Tang to the French team.
Now that the finals are here, Don's chance to prove himself has come. For him who is proud, he wants to repeat the brilliance created by his predecessors, and he wants to create the brilliance that his predecessors did not create. Some people say that this European Cup is a time to test Tang's leadership ability. For a 21-year-old, it's a bit of a burden, but he stood up and said, "This European Championship is mine!"
His remarks were once again shocking, some said he was arrogant, some began to ridicule, and some began to ridicule. Back a year ago, Don came to the Bernabeu and told the world that he would help Real Madrid win La Liga and the Champions League. At that time, almost no one believed him and thought what he said was a joke.
Does Real Madrid have what it takes to compete for these two titles? Can Real Madrid, known as "the most civilian Madrid in history", defeat many strong opponents and stand at the top? At the end of the season, Don led Real Madrid to the first treble in Spanish history!
Don has the ability to turn jokes into reality, just like in the 06-07 season, Milan were penalized by fifteen points for the phone. Don told the world that Milan wanted to win Serie A and the Champions League. Negative fifteen points to win the Serie A title? Obviously, no one believed him, and some people ridiculed him, which was the funniest joke.
The 06-07 season was a fantastic season for Milan, with the "horror trio" roaming Serie A and Europe. Whether it was ending Serie A with an unbeaten record or playing 7-7 at the Allianz Stadium, such a shocking score made Milan fans proud. It was a season full of myths, and Milan created many myths for the world to worship. Don fulfilled his promise and helped Milan win Serie A and the Champions League!
So we have reason to believe that he will fulfill his promise.
Now that Don has once again made a bold statement, we have reason to believe that he can achieve it, because his name is - Don!
This is a man who creates myths, a man who moves forward in the midst of difficulties, a man who fears all defenders, a man who is domineering.
The European Championship final is not the end of Don, but his starting point, like the World Cup in Germany for two years. The European Championship is not a game, but a stage, and he wants to tell the world on this stage - this is my European Cup!
……
The team's newspaper, which is known for its impartiality, has long transcended national borders and has been recognized by fans of European media. When their article came out, French fans were surprised, and fans in other countries were shocked, because the team newspaper rarely publishes such a tendentious article before a game.
After the French fans were surprised, they were full of expectations for the final, and even the team newspaper was so confident in Tang...... We'll be more confident! (To be continued......)
