Chapter 190: I won't give you a chance!

The semi-final between Turkey and Germany was a thrilling affair with the fighting spirit of the Turks, who were able to get through with a stunning strike from Lahm. People are looking forward to the match between Russia and France, and what kind of sparks will they spark?

How will Hiddink contain Don?

Can Don continue his record of scoring in every game in the tournament?

Can France reach the final again after eight years?

If France advances to the final, then the game will be even more exciting. Don once said that he was going to crush Spain, England, Germany. What happens when France and Germany meet in the final?

……

Immediately after the match between Germany and Turkey, Domenech called a meeting of his players, and it was a match that they should be wary of. There are many examples of football matches where the weak defeat the strong, and the European Cup has repeatedly staged the myths and legends of dark horses winning the championship, and Russia is a dark horse full of color.

Domenech has ambitions, or ambitions, to recreate the glory of eight years ago, and he does not want to be the whole of Russia. Turkey's match against Germany was an opportunity for them to warn their players not to be arrogant against Russia.

On the twelfth floor of the hotel, there is a meeting room with tables that are arranged in an oval shape, and meetings are often called "round tables". In the 06 World Cup, the French team once held a round table meeting, and the meeting determined the proposal of the players led by Zidane - a game of the conference system, no need to win, just win!

This proposal has been affirmed by a group of French football legends, including the current UEFA president Michel Platini. Tonight's roundtable will not produce proposals, Domenech wants the right attitude to the game. He has heard too many words of contempt for Russia these days. It's dangerous.

Domenech glanced at his team and said: "Let's come and talk about our thoughts on Turkey and Germany, and our thoughts on tomorrow night's game. ”

"Ribery speak first!" The French coach began to roll out names.

Ribery was so excited that the coach actually asked me to speak first.

"Russia can't compare to us in terms of both historical record and tournament experience, and we have absolute confidence that we can beat them. As for tonight's game, I think it was a thrilling win for Germany, but it was a strong team that won. We are stronger than Russia, so it will be us who wins! ”

A lot of players nodded. Of course, you have to be confident before the game. How can you fight without confidence?

Domenech shook his head secretly in his heart, but there was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face, he looked at Benzema and asked, "What do you think?" ”

As a newcomer, Benzema is cautious. "I totally agree with Ribery," he said. ”

Domenech smiled. Turning to Makelele, he asked, "Let's talk about it defensively." ”

Makelle raised an eyebrow. "I've watched the video of the Russian game in the past two days, and I think we need to limit Arshavin, as long as we limit him. Russia has a broken shoulder. But they were very good pressing, we had to pass the ball quickly in the middle and back and try to dribble as little as possible. ”

Domenech nodded, worthy of a veteran, and got to the heart of the matter. With Makellele's words, tonight's meeting has already paid off.

"Henry, what do you think?"

Henry thought for a while and said: "I judge that Russia may change its style of play and will not press high." ”

Pressing from a high position, this is the magic weapon of the Russians to get to this point, how can they give up?

Confused, some people started to shake their heads, including Makelele and Thuram, Henry was not disappointed, and continued: "Don's speed is what they fear, if the high press is not successful, we quickly move the football to the front, and their defensive gaps in the midfield and back will increase. Hiddink wouldn't have thought about it. ”

Everyone began to think about it, what he said seemed to make sense, Benzema secretly glanced at Tang Jue, and found that there was no complacent or proud look on his face, he shook his head and sighed in his heart: It's too calm!

Domenech nodded slightly, and in the information provided to him, Tang Jue had speculated that Hiddink was likely to abandon high pressing and enhance the defensive thickness of the midfield.

Domenech then asked each player to speak, with many expressing great confidence in tomorrow night's semi-finals, with some even saying "As long as Don is fit, any of us can beat it." ”

This is a kind of worship that borders on blindness. Domenech would be acceptable if it was said by the fans, but it would be dangerous if it was said by the players. Football is a team sport where everyone has their own role on the pitch, and if one of them goes wrong, it's very likely to fall short.

"Don, tell me what you think." The reason why the French coach left Tang Jue to speak last was because he hoped that some of his words could come out through his mouth. The two communicated many times in two days and reached an agreement in many places.

Since the end of the 06 World Cup, Tang Jue has bloomed with amazing energy, sweeping the domestic league and the Champions League for two consecutive years. At the same time, he also won the World Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years, and his prestige in the team gradually increased. Although it has not yet reached the height of Zidane, it is not far off. In this tournament, France's experience in the group stage and the quarter-finals against Spain have made the French players realize the importance of the game.

"Russia is not terrible, it is we who are terrible. Accidents can happen in any game, and we have absolute confidence to beat our opponents, but we also have to be prepared for the worst. A great Chinese man once said, 'Strategically despise the adversary, tactically value the adversary.'" ”

'We have absolute confidence to beat the opponent, which is to strategically defy the opponent and we have done it now. But tactically we don't pay attention to the opponent, and we haven't done it well. There are too many examples of the weak defeating the strong, and we must be vigilant and not overturn the boat in a small ditch. Tang Jue talked eloquently.

Domenech's eyes lit up, the phrase "strategically despise the opponent, tactically value the opponent" is too classic, which Chinese great man said this? Is China's culture so vast and profound?

There are many people with a thoughtful look in their eyes, and they fall from the clouds and return to reality. Anything can happen in a game, so what if we're down behind? Will the mentality be unbalanced?

Strategically despising the opponent, tactically valuing the opponent, God, this sentence is too incisive and condenses the true meaning of the battle into one sentence. The man who can say this is indeed a great man.

The team members discovered the power of this sentence and had shock and admiration in their eyes. Domenech noticed the reaction of his teammates, and he was quite satisfied, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes bloomed like flowers. Tonight was a fruitful one, and tomorrow night's game is even more certain.

The French boss began his concluding remarks: "Everyone talked about their views on the game and I was very satisfied. Tonight's meeting, although there are no resolutions like two years ago, I think we have found a direction for the future and solved the ideological problem. ”

"In all our games, we have to think of this phrase 'strategically despise the opponent and tactically value the opponent.'" This sentence makes us not confused, not arrogant. ”

"Now we're going to take that to heart and think about tomorrow night's game with that. I'm sure you'll get tomorrow night's game right! ”

……

At the end of the meeting, the players went back to their rooms. Tang Jue's room was full of people, they wanted to know which great man said that sentence, and what kind of great deeds he had done? Tang Jue looked at his teammates' eager expressions, smiled and said to Ribery, "Pour tea!" ”

Ribery took two steps, then suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "Why do I want to pour you tea?" Even if you pour tea, why me? ”

Tang Jue said solemnly: "You are so studious, I will be a teacher once." In China, it is most normal for students to pour tea for their teachers. ”

"Why?" Ribery continued.

Tang Jue shook his head and said, "The teacher lectures, and after a long time, your mouth will be dry, and you will need tea to quench your thirst at this time." ”

"Pour tea!" Thuram nodded and said, "Respect the teacher!" ”

"Yes!" Makelele said, "You're a little younger here, do you want me to pour tea?" ”

Seeing that the two of them were fierce, Ribery nagged: "Am I a little younger? Hmph, Don is even younger than me. That's right......" He turned his head to look for Benzema, but he didn't find Benzema.

After a while, Tang Jue sat down in his chair and, like a teacher, began to explain the life of the great man......

"Pour water!"

"Change the Tea"

When these voices sounded, Ribery had no choice but to pout aggrievedly and serve Tang Jue.

"The fifth anti-encirclement and suppression ended in failure, and as a result, they were forced to embark on the famous 'Long March', as for the story of the Long March, I will tell it tomorrow night, it is already two o'clock in the morning!"

As if awakened from a dream, Thuram looked at his watch and couldn't help but yawn. "It's late, I'll hear it later."

Over the next few nights, Tang Jue became a teacher, tirelessly lecturing to these studious students. Ribery didn't want to come, but he couldn't help but want to hear the legendary story, so he became a full-time "waiter".

The morning sun of the 27th pierced through the cracks in the curtains and penetrated firmly into the room. Tang Jue opened his eyes and looked at the dazzling eyes, today is the day of the semifinals, Russia must win, not only for the championship, he can't give the "Anti-Tang Alliance" any chance.

UEFA's expulsion order made the "anti-Tang League" leave the European Cup, and Tang Jue knew that they were hiding in the shadows, quietly waiting for him to make a mistake. He also knew that as long as he was on the pitch for a day, these people would not let him go. The media is a formidable enemy, with a pen in their hands, and they can manipulate public opinion.

They started the wave of "inverting the Tang Dynasty", and they also started the "Peachy News" a few years ago. These people consider themselves to be the expressions of public opinion, the uncrowned kings, and they are very proud, and few players dare to offend them. There are only a few poor people who dare to fight them, Maradona is such a person, and Tang Jue is also such a person.

"I'm not going to give you a chance!" Tang Jue said with his back against the pillow.

Henry rubbed his eyes and asked strangely, "Who won't you give a chance?" Russia? (To be continued......)
