Chapter 164: Angry Domenech!
Half an hour later, Domenech and Thuram appeared at a press conference. The French coach said with a solemn face: "Thank you to my players, they withstood the pressure and won the first game. ”
"Don was the biggest contributor to the game and he helped us knock on the door to victory. In order to win, he did not hesitate to risk injury to grab a shot, and he deserves everyone's respect. ”
"We were very stable throughout the game and didn't give the opponent too many shots on goal. We deserved to win this game because for most of the time the initiative was in our hands. Romania are a respected team and they play their own style. ”
Domenech's affection was not very high, and finally said: "Please ask questions now, but I will only answer three questions, because I still have to rush to the hospital to find out about Don's injuries!" ”
The team reporter was first pointed out by the press officer, who said: "Mr. Domenech, first of all, congratulations to the French team for winning the first game under great pressure. My question is how will the French strikers partner if Don is not available for the next two games? How much impact does Don's absence have on the French team? ”
Domenech pondered for a moment and then said: "This is an issue that our coaching staff has not discussed yet. As for how much impact Don's absence has on the French team...... It's definitely huge. It is undeniable that the attack of this French team now revolves around him. If he's out we have to change the way we play, it's very difficult for us! ”
"But we'll talk about how we can play without him tonight."
The second to ask a question was from the reporter of the Milan newspaper Sport. He said: "What are your thoughts on the next two group games? ”
Domenech said: "The Netherlands and Italy are both favourites to win the tournament and neither game is going to be easy. We will try to have a good table against the Netherlands and be able to beat them to qualify early. Of course, we are also ready for the last do-or-die battle with Italy. ”
The third question was asked by the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, as an important member of the "anti-Tang coalition", how could he let go of such an opportunity!
"It seems great that the ball bully left the pitch with an injury in order to score a goal, but it is actually a selfish act. If he is not available for the next two games, it will put France in a difficult position. Even for this reason, there is a good chance that the French team will go home after the group stage. We think he is. In order to evade the responsibility of being the captain and the core of the attack! ”
Domenech frowned. scolded: "Who is the ball bully? Tang has a name and a surname, and his name is not called Qiuba! ”
As soon as these words fell, the scene was chaotic!
The French media reporters applauded loudly, and the British media reporters looked embarrassed. Journalists from other countries began to heckle!
Domenech abandoned his elegance. Snorted coldly and said, "I know some people have opinions about Tang. has been trying to discredit him, as a journalist, you should have your own professional ethics. Don in order to score. Fight until you get hurt, this is a responsible behavior, not an evasion of responsibility in your mouth! ”
"Have you ever played? Do you understand a player's desire to score a goal and win? Players fight the field for the sake of honor, and you not only don't praise this behavior, but you also talk nonsense here? ”
The French coach said angrily: "Okay, my three questions have been answered!" ”。 With that, he stood up and left the press conference, leaving Thuram alone.
Apparently Thuram was also angry, and he said into the microphone: "Some people want something to happen to the French team, this mentality is not right. Don paid a heavy price for the team's victory, and we should treat him with respect. In other words, when you encounter a situation that Don is facing, do you have the guts to do it like him? ”
'He's a responsible player and I'm sure he won't stay in the bed too long and will be able to play the next two games! Even if he can't be in the last two games of the group, we will work hard for him so that he can play in the knockout rounds! ”
The more Thuram spoke, the more angry he became: "The 'down-Tang Dynasty' turmoil is a trick used by some people with ulterior motives. When they saw that Don helped Real Madrid win the Champions League and fulfill his promise to Real Madrid fans, they were very unhappy, so they had nothing to do. Shamefully, they are now targeting the French again. ”
"What does the incident with Anelka have to do with him? You're trying to use this to discredit him! Now he's scored, he's injured, and you're attacking him again. I tell you that the French fans are not something you can manipulate if you want to, they will come to their senses! ”
"By the time they come to their senses, you'll be street rats!"
"That's it!" Thuram angrily said, "I don't want to answer any questions!" ”
After saying that, he stood up and left the press conference, the French media reporters cheered loudly, and the British media reporters looked extremely ugly. Journalists from other national media shook their heads, stupid X, when others are sad, you actually provoke them. Silly X, this is your own humiliation!
The anti-Tang alliance is not too stupid, but Tang Jue has rarely given them a chance to criticize. They could only use a magnifying glass to study Tang Jue's words and deeds and find places to criticize. Tang was desperate to score with an injury, and they thought it was an opportunity. They didn't even think about what the French thought, so they brought shame on themselves.
……
The Romanian coach and captain then came on and Pieturka said: "We lost tonight and the blame is on me. We're going to start preparing for the next two games. Every game in the Group of Death is not easy to play, and we will give Romanian fans an explanation! ”
'In terms of this game, Don was the focus of our defense, but he still scored. I don't feel like it's my failure. In four games at the top of last season, Rijkaard was unable to prevent him from scoring, and he even scored four goals at Noknap. In the Champions League final, the mighty Chelsea fielded three world-class midfielders, but they couldn't stop him from scoring a hat-trick. ”
"He has no solution!"
Pieturka used Rijkaard and Jose Mourinho as shields.
Mutu said: "We did our best tonight and the first half was coming to an end. Radoni got the red card and we realised it wasn't good. Don is the hardest player in the world to defend today, and I was deeply shocked when he got up from the turf again and again, he is a tough guy on the pitch and deserves everyone's respect! ”
The Romanian coach and captain spoke highly of Tang Jue, which surprised the British reporter.
……
At this point, the game at the Bern Arena has begun!
The Netherlands last beat Italy in 1978 and Italy are unbeaten in eight meetings between the two sides since then. Tonight, Italy lined up the 4321 Christmas tree formation they have been using for the past two years. In the high-profile centre-back position. Head coach Doni still trusts the veteran. Served by Materazzi and Bazali.
The two full-backs were Panucci and Zambrotta, while the midfield was exactly the same as the Milan midfielder. Due to too many injuries in the attacking line in the Netherlands, Van Basten could only field a more conservative 4231, with Ruud van Nistelrooy rushing forward. Van der Vaart, Sneijder and Kuyt were behind him.
The game begins. Italy counter-attacked. The second minute. Italy counter-attacked to form a two-on-two, but Di Natale's cross from the right slipped past the goalkeeper. In the ensuing game, the Dutch team was organized by Sneijder. An attack was launched on Italy. In the 11th minute, Sneijder's right-footed shot from 25 meters went through the wall, but was blocked by his own Oyer. Van der Vaart then fired a long-range shot from 25 yards, and Buffon easily held the ball in his arms.
In the seventeenth minute, Kuyt sent a through plug in the middle of the midfield, and Vanney successfully broke into the penalty area against offside. Buffon, who attacked, did not touch the ball and mixed Ruud van Nistelrooy. Ruud van Nistelrooy staggered and did not fall to the ground, and by the time he was on his feet, the ball had reached the baseline on the right side. He had no choice but to cross and Cannavaro took two steps forward to clear the ball.
In the nineteenth minute, Sneijder cleared the ball in the front of the penalty area and volleyed high with his left foot!
The controversial footage appears at the twenty-sixth minute. Van der Vaart's free-kick from the right was whittled into the box and Buffon couldn't get it out of the way. Mathieson got the ball in the penalty area and passed back, Sneijder shot with his left foot from 16 meters on the left rib, and Ruud van Nistelrooy blocked the ball into the goal three meters in front of the goal, Netherlands 1-0!
The Italian signalled the ball for offside, and from slow motion, Ruud van Nistelrooy was in an offside position, but Italy had a defender outside the baseline at the time, and the goal was disputed. Toney was booked for his dissatisfaction with the referee's decision.
Five minutes later, the Italians were hit again!
In the 31st minute, Pirlo took a corner kick from the left, which was rubbed by the Dutch player at the front point, and Van Bronckhorst cleared it at the back post. The Netherlands then counter-attacked, with Van Bronckhorst dribbling a long ball down the left and Kuyt heading in from the right touchline of the penalty area.
Sneijder's right-footed volley from six meters on the right flank flew into the near corner, Netherlands 2-0!
With the score down, Italy launched a frantic attack, but they were unable to succeed under the stubborn resistance of the Dutch. The two sides ended the first half with a score of 2-0. After the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again!
Italy, which was behind the score, had no way to retreat, and launched wave after wave of offensive frenzy against the Netherlands, and the Dutch team played a defensive counterattack!
In the 79th minute, Pirlo took a free kick from 25 meters and fired a right-footed shot straight into the top left corner of the goal, which Van der Sar miraculously saved. The Netherlands immediately counter-attacked, Van Bronckhorst burst into the box with the ball and crossed, Kuyt fired a right-footed shot from 15 yards!
Buffon, who attacked, blocked the ball, Kuyt crossed from the right rib of the penalty area after getting the ball, Van Bronckhorst's header from six meters was empty, Zambrotta failed to make up for the goal, the Netherlands 3-0!
Van Bronckhorst's goal made it clear to the Italian that the tide was turning. In the ninety-fourth minute, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. The Italians, who were good at counter-attacking, fell under the Dutch's defensive counter-attack. The Netherlands got off to a good start with a 3-0 win over Italy!
After the game, an angry Gattuso vented his anger on the referee, and he angrily scolded the referee: "That goal in the first half is obviously offside!" You ruined the game and stole our victory! ”
……
At this time, Tang Jue had just finished receiving an examination from the hospital, and the team doctor said to Domenech worriedly: "It is conservatively estimated that it will take three weeks to recover, you have to plan in advance!" ”
The French coach's face turned ugly, and he said after a half-speech: "Maybe it won't take him that long to recover." The same was true of him in '06......"
A glint flashed in the team doctor's eyes, then he frowned and muttered, "I suspect that there was something wrong with the hospital's equipment at that time, but this time, I have seen it, and the equipment is the most advanced today." ”
Domenech exhaled a long breath and comforted the team doctor: "If 06 was a miracle, I believe there will be a miracle this time!" (To be continued......)
