Chapter 24: Self-reliance!
"Fans and friends, the match between France and Ireland is about to begin. The players from both sides have already taken their places, with Ireland wearing a green home kit and France wearing a white away kit.
The formation of the French team is 4312, the goalkeeper is Kupet, the four defenders are Sagnol, Boumson, Thuram, Galla, the four midfielders are Dorasu, Vieira, Makelele, Zidane, and the two forwards are Don and Henry. β
"Dorasu started in place of Malouda in this game, and there is no change in other positions, as in the last big win over Faroe Islands.
We now introduce the Irish lineup, which is 442.
Goalkeepers: Kenny, from Sheffield United, the back four: Melberry, from Leicester, Cunningham, from Birmingham, Dunn, from Manchester City, O'Shea, from Manchester United;
Four midfielders: Reid, from Tottenham Hotspur, Roy? Keane, from Manchester United, Kilbane, from Everton, Duff, from Chelsea:
Two strikers: Robbie? Keane, from Tottenham, Elliott, from Sunderland. β
The famous football commentator Henrik of France TΓ©lΓ©vision? Hilario, in the hard work of introducing the starters of both sides. Far away in Lyon, France, Tang Yuantian's hotel was full of people. The man with glasses made a bet with the fat man next to him: "I bet that Tang will never score." β
The fat man had no choice but to say: "Then I have to bet that he can score two goals." β
The man in glasses laughed, "You cunning guy, you should bet that he can't score." β
The fat man said angrily: "What are you doing? You should be the cunning person. He scored three in the last game and it was too easy to score a goal in this one. β
The man with glasses thinks it makes sense. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay! β
Tang Yuantian's hotel has become a base for Chinese students from the second university of Lyon to watch Tang Jue's competition. Mr. and Mrs. Tang Yuantian are very proud of this. At this time, the two were sitting together, watching TV.
β¦β¦
Tang Jue stood outside the middle circle, looking at Robbie who was about to serve at the midpoint? Keane and Elliott thought to themselves: "The opponent was too weak in the last game, and scoring three goals is nothing." You have to score in this game, you have to prove yourself! β
"Tick!" The referee blew the whistle. The competition is officially on!
'The Irish striker passes the ball to the back. The competition has officially begun. The importance of this game for the French team is self-evident, and they can only take the initiative if they win this game. Ireland poured the ball at the back and played at home. Wait for the enemy to wear themselves out. They seemed very calm. β
Henrik? Hilario's voice came from the TV.
Ireland were in no hurry to attack at the start of the game. Tang Jue and Henry rushed through the half-court and were playing harassing defenses up front. They were like two waves in a sea of green, failing to stir up any waves.
After a short backfield pass. Ireland moved the ball up front and they started attacking. The Irish team, wearing a green jersey, was like a green wave, and began to pounce fiercely on the backfield of the French team.
France's two world-class midfielders, Claude Makelele and Patrick Vieira, are being put to the test, with serious expressions and a tight grip on their hinterland, not allowing Ireland to infiltrate the box from the hinterland.
Seeing that they could not find a breakthrough from the opponent's hinterland, Ireland changed the direction of attack and placed the main attack direction on the right side of the French team.
Ireland's right midfielder is Chelsea's Duff, who is Ireland's sharpshooter on the right.
Attacking from the flanks is Ireland's usual tactical routine, and their tactical style has been used for many years, playing high and high. Duff is unusually active, and he works well with Kilbani. In the seventh minute, Duff combined with Kilbani, and Duff crossed past Gala in a few arrows to pick up the ball on the touchline.
After getting the ball, Duff went down at a fast pace and Gara desperately chased after him. Five metres from the baseline, Duff crossed the ball into the box.
Irish fans seemed to see hope of scoring goals and they stared with bated breath.
The two Irish strikers who were ambushed in the box both leaped high to fight for the ball flying high. Thuram and Bumsson, who were beside them, also jumped up.
Football is like a pearl, and the four of them are like four-headed dragons, four dragons playing with pearls!
"Smack!" Elliott beat Bumsson for the ball, which changed direction and flew towards the middle of the goal.
The veteran Kupe has been waiting for a long time, and it will not be difficult for him to face such a header from such a good angle. Kupe stretched out his arm and held the ball firmly in his arms.
Riot Elliott's header kicked off Ireland's attack, and the stands burst into applause, with Irish fans applauding Elliott's header and France fans applauding Kupe's solid performance.
Roy? Keane followed Zidane's side closely, and he followed the arrangement of head coach Karl to freeze the attacking core of the French team.
After the French players have the ball in central midfield, the first task is to pass the ball to Zinedine Zidane. In Roy? Zinedine Zidane did not perform well at the start of the game, he was more of a lateral dribble, unable to send through balls to the forward line.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and Tang Jue and Henry, who couldn't get the ball, looked very lonely in the front court. Henry began to retreat, he wanted to get the ball, and Tang Jue continued to push against the opponent's back line.
In the thirteenth minute, Thierry Henry picked up the ball in the heart of the opposition and tried to tear apart Ireland's defence with a breakthrough. Henry struggled all the way, seven meters in front of the penalty area, he suddenly dribbled horizontally, flashed the angle of the shot, and shot from a distance!
It was France's first shot of the game, and Ireland goalkeeper Kenny strained the outside of his right foot and flew to his right to save it.
His hand failed to touch the ball, but it flew out of the baseline five centimeters outside the post.
It was as if the Irish fans had died once, watching the football flying off the baseline, exhaling a long breath and clapping desperately. Drive out the fear of your heart.
Henry hugged his head in pain, and Domenech sighed. Zidane clapped loudly at Henry, encouraging him.
Ireland constantly started the ball from the flanks and bombarded the French goal with high balls. Kupe used his steady performances to keep football out of the door again and again. There was a hint of anxiety on Domenech's face, Zidane was killed by Roy? Keane defended closely, but he hasn't played well until now.
Another player he relied on, Tang Jue has not shot on goal until now.
If you want to win against Ireland, you have to win something in the attack. If Zidane can't play out, who can solve the battle?
French fans and Domenech have a different opinion, they think Zidane is the kind of player who can solve opponents in a second. Just give him a gap and he'll pass the lethal ball at any moment. Help the team win.
The lion king has a time to nap. And what about Roy? Keane is a very difficult guy. Are they expecting Roy? Keane made a mistake and was expecting Zidane's flash of inspiration!
Ireland took advantage of their home and physical advantages to draw the same level with France. It was a crucial game for both sides. Everyone wants to win the last victory.
Midfield becomes the most competitive place. The scene of people turning on their backs keeps appearing. Thirty-fifth minute. When Vieira was fighting with Reed for the header, Reed's elbow hit him hard at the corner of his eyebrow, and Vieira was bleeding!
Patrick Vieira after a brief handling on the sidelines. Back to the pitch.
Bloody battle!
'Patrick Vieira gave his blood for this fight, he's a tough fighter. Henrik? Hilario said: "From the perspective of the situation between the two sides, the first half was evenly matched, and now it takes someone to break the balance and break the deadlock between the two sides!" β
"Who can upset that balance? Zidane? Henry? Or Don? β
"Zidane is frozen, Henry is still trying, Don is in a slump and has not shot on goal until now. Who will be the savior of the French team? β
Listen to Henrik? Hilario's explanation, the atmosphere of Tang Yuantian Hotel is a little solemn, they are here to cheer for Tang Jue, but until now, Tang Jue has not shot a single shot.
β¦β¦
Sitting on the bench Roten until the reason, there are many people in the French team who are not satisfied with Don, and now Zidane is Roy? Keane froze, without Zidane's pass, Don was undoubtedly alone.
Tang Jue, who was standing on the field, also knew this reason after Xiao Feifei's analysis. Those guys definitely wanted to see his jokes, and he was fighting Henry for a place in the dressing room, and they were going to support him in this way.
Since you can't get the support of your teammates, you have to be self-reliant. Tang Jue has also been self-reliant in previous competitions, and speed is his weapon!
Tang Jue moved his position backwards, and the French team's tactics were basically launched from the ground, with very few long passes. Now he can't get the ball here, he has to step back. Henry had already done that, so he had three shots on goal.
Tang Jue retreated his position to the other party's hinterland, he had to be self-reliant!
For a crucial game like this, every player is at the highest level of concentration. They rarely missed the ball, and after Tang retreated, he never found a chance to steal the ball down the middle.
Tang was criticized in the dressing room during his trip to the United States, when he was a new recruit in Milan and he was in the midst of a metamorphosis. He was silent in the face of criticism and criticism.
But now it's different, it's not that he doesn't work hard, it's that there are people who want to see his jokes. Thinking of the little abacus in the hearts of those guys, thinking of the open guns and arrows in the locker room at halftime. Think of those ugly faces, vicious words. Tang Jue has made a decision!
The rivers and lakes are really sinister!
Tang Jue said viciously in his heart: "Xiao Feifei, turn on all your abilities!" β
"The hosts! What a shame! β
Time is still Tang Jue's biggest enemy, because there are only five minutes before the end of the first half. He'll have to make a difference in those five minutes to fight back against those guys who have been sharpening their guns in the shadows for a long time.
The environment in front of Tang Jue's eyes suddenly changed, and several lines of different thicknesses appeared on each player, and one red line was extremely eye-catching, which was the trajectory of football. Another thick red line is constantly adjusting the direction, this is the running route that Xiao Feifei calculated for him!
'It's only a minute before the first half, it's still 0-0 and neither side can break the balance. France had to make adjustments in the second half, tactically, and in the lineup. Replace players who are not doing anything, such as the forward line, and adjust them. β
Henrik? As soon as Hilario's words fell, the man with glasses became angry, and he said viciously: "Bullshit! Did someone pass the ball to Don Jue? Have it? Adjustments, too, should be those midfielders! β
At this time, Xiao Feifei's voice suddenly sounded in Tang Jue's mind: "Master! Here's your chance! β
The red line in front of Tang Jue's eyes became extremely thick, and he took a big step and began to run! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
