Chapter 127: A Strong Enemy France
In the knockout round, they will face a strong opponent France, while Ukraine, who will advance as the second place in Group H, will face a relatively weak Switzerland, and Belgium will not know whether to be happy or worried.
France are one of the most influential teams in European and century football today, having won the European Championship in 1984 and 2000 and the Shijie Cup on home soil in 1998. The French team has experienced the glory of the Platini era and also fell into the trough of the early 90s, and with the emergence of Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry and a number of other stars who have made Shijie football the most eye-catching so far, the French team has regained its glory and became the first team to win the Shijie Cup and then the European Cup.
Ligue 1 is one of the top five leagues in European football and the cornerstone of developing French stars. In recent years, Ligue 1 teams have played an increasingly important role in European football, especially Lyon's sudden rise in recent years, which has impressed the entire shijie football world.
In today's French national team, head coach Domenech has a talented midfield playmaker like Zidane, Henry, Trezeguet and other "best shรจs" to lead the striker, and the defense of Butters, Thuram and other old and strong. On the stage of the Shijie Cup, the strength of the French team is still outstanding.
But if you analyze carefully, it is not difficult to see that France is not a first-class team in Shijie at present, every country has this time, when the green and yellow are not connected, the young are too young, the old are too old, although in terms of the league, the combination of Henry and Trezeguet is very threatening, but in the national team, Henry has always been unable to support Afu, and the experienced midfielders Zidane, Makelele, Vieira, etc. can play a role at critical moments, but they are somewhat lacking in physical strengthAlthough there is Thuram in the back line, it cannot but admit that France has been reduced to a low-level defensive team, and the three lines of the whole team are strong and weak.
And the biggest problem that plagues the French is who will carry the banner of French football after Zidane, as early as June 25, 2004, when the French team lost to the Greek team and exited the European Cup. Zidane issued a statement to the outside world, announcing his retirement from the national team.
And on February 4, 2005, he announced that he would say goodbye to the field when his contract with Real Madrid was completed, that is, after the 2006-07 season.
In 2005, Zidane's fans were mixed with joy and sorrow, on the one hand, when the French team was struggling to qualify for the Shijie Cup European qualifiers, Zidane announced that he would return to the French national team to help the team that stumbled in the Shijie Cup qualifiers at that time establish qualification. On the other hand, he opted for an early retirement and will never play for any club again after the 2005/2005 season.
Perhaps Zidane's influence was so striking that he announced on his official website: "I have made the decision to come back." A week later, Claude Makelele and Thuram, who had already spoken with him about quitting the national team, both chose to return.
This old and strong French team has achieved a good record in the next qualifiers, proving to the world that although Zidane is old, his technical and tactical ability is still outstanding.
But in any case, Zidane, who has already won all the honors, chose to retreat bravely. For him, saying goodbye to his beloved football at the 2006 Shijie Cup final was undoubtedly the best way to do so.
Although the aging of the lineup, although Zidane will retire after the Shijie Cup, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, in the Group G where the French team is located, Switzerland, South Korea, and Togo are not enough to compete with France in terms of strength, and the qualification should not repeat the path of the Shangjie Shijie Cup.
However, it turns out that the French team in this Shijie Cup, like the last Korean Rishijie Cup, entered the state slowly, drawing 0:0 with Switzerland in the first game, drawing 1:1 with South Korea in the second game, and defeating Togo 2:0 in the first round, or with the help of Switzerland.
However, in the previous life, after the group appeared, the French team became more and more courageous, eliminating Spain 3:1 in the 1/8 finals, defeating the defending champion Brazil 1:0 in the 1/4 finals, and then defeating the strong rival Portugal 1:0 in the semifinals.
In the final match, Zidane's France played against Italy, and Zidane calmly scored a spoon penalty and played Buffon.
However, in the second half of extra time, he was sent off for headbutting Italian defender Materazzi, and France lost to Italy in Zuihou's penalty kick, ending the Shijie Cup journey and finishing as runners-up, Zidane retired after the Shijie Cup.
In the face of such a strong French team, even if it is a person like Degan who is extremely self-confident, there is no certainty of victory, not to mention that now the French team is united, there are no previous factional struggles and contradictions, and everyone wants to use a Shijie Cup championship trophy as a retirement gift to Zidane.
"France is a strong opponent, Zinedine Zidane is a great player, unfortunately he will retire after the Shijie Cup, but fortunately, I still have the opportunity to face him!"
In an interview before the game, Digan also expressed his expectations for this game, and the most outstanding player on Shijie has always been his dream, there is no doubt that the greatest player in today's Shijie football is Zidane, to be able to compete before the football master retired, Digan was also uncontrollably excited.

Of course, Degan's remarks were used as an excuse to attack him, arguing that he lacked the most basic respect for a great player, as if he had ignored Basten in the first place.
However, Zidane is very open to this: "I know him, Digan is one of the most outstanding strikers in Shijie football now, he has a terrible goal efficiency, I think his strength can become the core of any team on Shijie, and Belgium game, how to defend Digan will become our main job, the previous games have proved that he must not be given the opportunity to easily get the ball in the front court, otherwise, he will have to bear a heavy price for negligence!" โ
France's leading striker Thierry Henry said: "We lost to Digan in the Champions League final, I hope to win it back on the stage of the Shijie Cup, Digan is very good, but the overall strength of the French team is stronger!" โ
Players from both sides are ready and the big battle is imminent!
