Chapter 214: World Cup debut!

On 13 June, the weather in Stuttgart was sunny with a maximum temperature of 34 degrees. At six o'clock in the evening, fans on both sides began to pay tribute to Gottlieb? Daimler Stadium gathered, draped in national flags, and some fans painted the national flag on their faces with oil paint. A jubilant scene, for them, it is a quadrennial event.

Fans sang and danced to their battlefields. Their own soldiers are charging on the field, and they have to wave their flags and shout to cheer for them.

Gottlieb? The Daimler Stadium, which resembles a silver-white car, is the result of the renovation of the stadium in 1991 with an investment of 17 million marks by Daimler AG. As a result, Daimler AG was awarded the naming rights for the stadium.

However, for the World Cup, Stuttgart has invested about 51.5 million euros in renovations, and the renovated Stuttgart Stadium can accommodate 40,000 spectators during the World Cup.

At half past six in the evening, the French team bus drove into Gottlieb? Daimler Stadium, Tang Jue looked at this stadium that looked like a car, and thought to himself, then he will transform into a speeding car tonight, where he will cross obstacles and directly reach the end of victory!

A French fan spotted the bus and frantically shouted "France!" at the bus. France! ”

The Germans are meticulous in their work, there are a lot of security guards in the stadium, and the French team's buses enter the stadium directly without being harassed by media reporters.

Before the game, many media predicted the starting lineups of both sides, and the vast majority of media believed that Tang would never start. Their reasoning: Don is the heart of Domenech's future French team. He will not let the core of the future leave a bad memory in his World Cup debut.

For the first time in the World Cup, the vast majority of players started from the bench. Domenech will use Don sparingly and will definitely give him a time to adapt.

In addition, in three warm-up games, not a single goal was scored, and Tang was under heavy pressure. Under heavy pressure, starting the game, either he can break out strongly, or he will continue to slump. According to Domenech's character. He's not going to gamble.

So the best time for Don to play was in the second half.

……

As the time of the game approaches. The more pressure that hangs over the players. Especially like Tang Jue, Ribery, and Saha, who are rookies in the World Cup, there is excitement and nervousness, and compared with Ribery and Saha, Tang Jue has more pressure. He had a lot of halos on his head.

Last night, Tang Jue took a car to the hotel where Alice lived. Alice knew that Tang would have to compete tomorrow. Gave up their own wildness. Give Tang Jue a full-body massage to relax. When Tang absolutely wanted it, Alice resisted the temptation and firmly refused.

Poor Tang Jue had to wait an hour later. Back to your hotel. Domenech demanded that the players must return to the hotel before 12 o'clock in the evening, so that it is easier to manage the team, go to nightclubs, and it is easy to get into trouble.

Speaking to the media before the game, Domenech cautiously stated that the Swiss team was a tough opponent and that they were resilient. And said that the French team is ready. When the reporter asked him if Tang Jue could start, he did not give a clear answer.

Swiss head coach Kuhn said before the game that the Swiss team is ready and they will definitely give the fans a good game. When asked by a reporter how he would deal with the "three musketeers", he said that containing Zidane was the first priority. In addition, Professor Arsene Wenger has shown a clear path in the Champions League final, and breaking the link between the two strikers can limit their performance.

……

After changing into jerseys in the locker room, the players went out to warm up. It is said that blue symbolizes melancholy and elegance, and the French players represented by Zidane are elegant on the field. Putting on the blue robe, Tang Jue followed his teammates to the World Cup arena.

The south side of the stadium belongs to the French fans, who entered the stadium early and turned the stands into a sea of blue. Some fans are still holding a big rooster, and the rooster is leisurely pecking at the bananas in the hands of the fans.

The north side of the stadium belongs to the Swiss fans, who have turned the stands white like a sea of snow. They're going to freeze that blue ocean. A little red in the sea of snow, like a plum, that is their national flag.

When he first appeared on the World Lujie Cup, Tang couldn't help but be excited, and finally stepped onto this stage. On the blog, you can be arrogant and swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, but the meal always has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the game always has to be fought one by one. For the first time in life, people are a little excited, hesitant, and even overwhelmed.

Tang Jue's heart was full of excitement, he did not hesitate and was overwhelmed, because his goal was clear, that is, to use a victory, to score a goal to complete his debut, and fight back against the Spanish media.

There was a group of beautiful women behind the bench for the French team, and it was the wives of the French team. Some media surveyed among fans which team's wife group was the most eye-catching. What is surprising is that the French team actually defeated the England team to occupy the first place. Fans believe that the French team has Alice, and that Alice is the most beautiful and unique woman in the world, the most perfect woman made by God.

Last night, Alice told Tang Jue about this report, and Tang Jue shook his head and said: "The World Cup has just begun, and the French team has already won a championship. ”

Alice unfolded her peerless smile, and in an instant, Tang Jue seemed to see a blooming rose, heard the sound of blooming, and smelled the refreshing fragrance of flowers.

"Honey, I've won a championship, and it's up to you next. I think we should both win the championship and become the happiest couple in the world! ”

Alice blinks her big beautiful eyes, motivating her man.

The beautiful group of ladies is a sight to behold on the pitch and attracts the attention of many people, Alice is rarely seen at the game, she only appears a few times at the San Siro. An away game in Milan, she has never been to. Being able to watch Alice live made her fans very excited.

……

The half-hour warm-up was quickly over, and the two sides returned to the dressing room, where the head coach had to make the final arrangements for the game.

France locker room.

Domenech stood near the door. After glancing at his teammates for a week, he said, "Now the starting line-up is announced: goalkeeper, Butters; defenders, Sagnol, Thuram, Gallas, Abidal; Midfielders, Vieira, Makelele, Zidane. Ribery; Striker. Henry, Don. ”

The scar on Ribery's face shone red, and Tang Jue looked down at his toes and exhaled a long breath. Makellele, who was sitting next to him, patted him on the shoulder. Congratulations to him. Vieira's brow furrowed slightly. Ribery and Don Jue played at the same time. It made him a little unhappy. A smile appeared in Zidane's eyes, and Henry had no expression on his face.

Don knows how much pressure Domenech will withstand, after all, he is in three warm-up matches. It has been criticized by the Spanish media. A lot of the media is also not optimistic about themselves.

Then if nothing else, just for the trust of the head coach, we must also hand over a satisfactory answer.

Domenech looked at the players with different expressions and continued: "In the qualifiers, I used to say that this is the last trip for many players to win the World Cup. It was still far from that day, and now, it has finally arrived. ”

"No matter what mood we have, we should forget about the honors of the past. It's a new arena, a new journey, and we're here to prove ourselves again. Let the fans of the whole world see our wonderful! ”

"I've always believed in you as much as I believe in myself. I think we're going to be here and have a great summer. Tonight is the first step on our journey, and we have to take this step solidly! ”

After the pre-match mobilization, Domenech began to plan specific tactics.

Swiss team locker room.

Kuhn looked at his players and said: "France are strong, don't take the media. A lot of people think that Brazil has the most luxurious midfield, but I think the French team's midfield is the most luxurious. ”

"The French team is strong, but we are fighters, and when a fighter faces a strong opponent, he can only survive if he is unstoppable. I think you, like me, don't want to die. We must use courage as a spear and tenacity as a shield to deal with strong opponents, and then find opportunities to give opponents a fatal blow! ”

"At the beginning of the game, the link between Zidane, Henry and Don was to be severed."

At this time, some players looked at their head coach strangely, didn't there be a lot of media analysis that Tang would not start?

"I said, don't believe what the media says," Kuhn said. Don will definitely start, and if it were me, he would have played. You all know what kind of person he is, he is a person who is getting stronger and stronger. Barcelona are 3-0 up at Camp Nou with just four minutes left, what did he do? ”

"Who helped Milan knock out Barcelona to reach the final?"

"The main purpose of saying this is to tell everyone that the opponent is very strong. We have to be determined to fight them at any time. ”

He pointed at Volger and said: "You are Don's teammate in Milan, and the task of defending Don is left to you." ”

……

Half an hour before the game, the media finally got the starting lists of both sides. Don showed up in the starting lineup, and Domenech turned their predictions into a piece of waste paper.

Since this is already a fact, it can only be encouraged, the famous football commentator Henrik of France TΓ©lΓ©vision? Hilario said: "Don's presence in the starting line-up shows that Domenech has a lot of trust in him. We expect Don to have a good performance in his World Cup debut and continue his good form this season. ”

"Newcomer Franck Ribery is also in the starting line-up, which significantly lowers the average age of the French starters. Or many Menech are using this as a way to respond to the criticism of the media. Some media believe that the age of the French team is too old. ”

Ariati, a commentator on Swiss national television, said: "The starting line-up of the Swiss team is: goalkeeper, Zubelboule; Four defenders, Degen, Senderos, Muller, Magnin; Four midfielders, Barnetta, Vogel, Cabanas, Vikki; Two forwards, Frey, Streller. ”

"It was a real surprise that Don was in the starting line-up. However, I think Kuhn must have thought of this a long time ago and prepared a way to deal with it. ”

ESPN's commentator said: "Domenech's arrangement was unexpected by most people. I believe this has something to do with the excellent performance of Don in the qualifiers. France won 2-0 away at Switzerland, with Don providing an assist and a goal, and was the biggest contributor to France's victory in that game. ”

Domenech will be hoping to replicate that win in this game, when Don was not well known and was a rising star. Now Don is famous, and the Swiss team will focus on him. Whether Don can get out of the slump in the warm-up game is worth looking forward to! ”

"The biggest attraction of this game is how Don will perform in his World Cup debut?" (To be continued......)
