Chapter Forty-Three: What I'm Seeking Is Victory!
The next day, the Swiss media criticized Tang Jue, believing that he was too arrogant and did not take the Swiss team seriously at all. They called on the players of the Swiss team to teach Tang Jue a good lesson at home and let him understand the strength of the Swiss team.
However, the French team media praised Tang Jue, believing that he used his wit to defeat the conspiracy of Swiss journalists. He also said that Tang Jue's style on and off the court is the same, the same sharp. He represents the style of a new generation of players who are just as flamboyant on and off the pitch.
For the upcoming life-and-death battle, the French media is still very cautious, this kind of game with no way out, what kind of possibilities can appear. The Swiss media believe that their soldiers will definitely be on their doorstep, teach the French team a hard lesson, and continue to occupy the top spot in the group.
A match about the top spot in the group is about to begin, attracting not only the attention of all the fans in both countries, but also a lot of media attention. They all voiced their opinions.
Milan Sports believes that the key to France's victory lies with Zinedine Zidane and Tang Jue. Putting Tang Jue and Zidane together, this is elevating Tang Jue. To elevate Tang Jue is to elevate Milan, and the Milan Sports Newspaper said this purposefully.
Marca believes that a draw between the two teams is very likely, and the Swiss team is at home, which is their biggest advantage. The advantage of the French team is that they have the momentum of two consecutive wins, and the two teams have a slight advantage in the momentum. However, with Zidane, the French team can do wonders.
A draw is acceptable for France. Because their last opponent is Cyprus, while Switzerland's opponent is Ireland. So analyze from this point. Domenech will surely try to secure this draw.
For Switzerland, their mentality must have been to take advantage of a home win over France, but a draw is the most likely due to the difference in quality. A draw would also be acceptable for the Swiss, who could still top the group. Even if there is an accident in the final round, they can go to the play-offs as second in their group.
Germany's "Kicker" believes that the key to this game is Tang Jue, and when it comes to the media that knows the most about football, Italy and Germany are definitely in the top two. The comments of "Kicker" have attracted the attention of many national media, and the British Sun believes that Tang will definitely continue his form in Milan. Great performance in Bern.
For comments from the media. Tang Jue didn't take it to heart all the time. He is preparing with the French players. Zinedine Zidane has said that this kind of game is the best way to prove a player's worth. He's going to prove himself in this game!
This life-and-death match was scheduled at 3 p.m. and 2 p.m. on the 8th, with a large number of fans arriving from France. Already gathered outside the court. They sang and danced. Draped in the national flag and singing the "La Marseillaise", today they are here to fight. They fought against the outnumbered Swiss fans.
A larger number of Swiss fans, some draped in flags and some waving small flags in their hands, stepped onto the pitch in groups of threes and fives. Their faces were beaming with light, and this afternoon was their chance to witness their best win over France. They want to use their shouts to stimulate the fighting spirit of their soldiers and wear down the momentum of the other party.
It was a game that both sides could not afford to lose. Switzerland will be looking to take on Ireland immediately after this game, while France will host Cyprus.
The opponent in the last round is in favor of the French team. All the players in the Swiss team know this, and only by winning this game will they be able to take the initiative. If the two sides draw, even if they can beat Ireland away in the last game, and the two sides have the same number of points, then they will have a goal difference.
Now that the Swiss team is at the top of the group with a goal difference of two goals, who knows how many goals France will score in the last game. Can Cyprus stop France?
So for the Swiss team, they will have to beat the French team in this game to have the advantage.
At half past three, the home team dressing room.
The Swiss team, which is mainly composed of overseas players, is making the most pre-match arrangements. If they are to compete in next year's World Cup in Germany, they cannot afford to lose this game.
The head coach of the Swiss team, Kuhn, said loudly with uplifting words: "We have no way back, we must win against our opponents. This is our best chance to take the French team down with our own hands and take our destiny into our own hands! ”
"Brothers! Raise your proud banner and we will plant it on the walls of the French team! ”
As soon as the manager's words fell, the Swiss players shouted:
"Victory belongs to Switzerland!"
"Victory belongs to Switzerland!"
"them!"
The atmosphere in the home team's dressing room is at its peak!
Kuhn waited for the players to gradually quiet down and said to the midfielder Warger: "Don is your teammate in Milan, you are most familiar with him, and today the responsibility of defending Don will be handed over to you!" Be sure to stop him and don't let him run! ”
The player, who rarely plays in Milan, nodded firmly and said: "Coach, don't worry, I will definitely stop him!" ”
Away team locker room.
Domenech first announced the starting line-up, which was essentially the same as the one against Ireland, with Tang Jue partnering Thierry Henry. There was a change in midfield, with Roten returning from injury and taking up a starting position. The other three are Zinedine Zidane, Claude Makelele, and Patrick Vieira. There are no changes to the four defenders, namely Sagnol, Boumson, Thuram and Garra. The goalkeeper was the veteran Kupe from Lyon.
This is the strongest squad in the French team right now.
Domenech said: "We all know the current situation, and I don't expect too much from you. The bottom line I need is a draw and we have to draw at least here. A draw would give us the initiative. ”
Domenech is relieving the pressure on his players, having spoken to Zinedine Zidane last night, and both agree that a draw is the bottom line that France can afford. The strategy for this game is a draw.
Don, who was putting on his shoes, looked at Domenech in surprise, his goal was actually a draw?
No! I'm here. Not for a draw!
Be sure to win!
Zidane stood up, squinted his little eyes and said: "Brothers, the coach has stated the goal, we have to be tested. Show your courage, show your inner passion! ”
There was a sense of struggle on Tang Jue's face, and Zidane actually stood on the same front as Domenech. This......
That's not what Zidane said when he was training in Marseille, he said at the time that if he won this game, he would invite everyone to drink! Not to mention that he was interviewed at the airport. Said to the media. Will use the goal to help France win this game!
No!
Be sure to win!
On the field, the pursuit is victory!
Tang was determined to use the goal to help the French team win this game.
A red light flashed in his eyes, and a loud roar came out of his mouth: "Brothers. We've got to win this game. Take your destiny firmly into your own hands! ”
Two of the team's most important men have already strategized for this match. Then the other players just have to execute. Tang Jue's behavior undoubtedly challenged the two. Never before in the dressing room had anyone challenged both men at the same time.
Now someone actually does it. It's like looking for death!
Domenech shook his head bitterly. Zidane's small eyes are literally a slit. Luo Teng shook his head, an imperceptible smile flashed in Henry's eyes, and Vieira's heart blossomed!
Henry was indeed very happy in his heart: Zidane, Zidane, look, this is the person you value! You see, is such a person worth doing so much for him?
Brat! Just wait to die!
Vieira almost laughed out loud: I've seen a fool, but I've never seen a fool like you. Affection, for those who are gracious, they must oppose it. Die, see how you die!
Everyone's expression in the locker room was different, some regretted, some secretly delighted, and some surprised......
At such times, it always takes someone to break the deadlock, and Thuram said with bright eyes: "Brothers! The result doesn't matter, the important thing is that we give a good game to the fans of the world! ”
Makelle chimed in: "Yes! Brothers, show us in front of the fans! ”
Zidane exhaled a long breath!
The two old men resolved the embarrassment in the locker room, but the hatred in their hearts could be loaded with a truck! Tang Jue still didn't feel that he had anything wrong. The manager has the manager's plan, and Zidane has his own opinion. So why can't you express your own opinions?
What he is pursuing on the green field is victory, not to mention that the Swiss team is not a strong team in the world, and giving up victory for the sake of a certain strategy is completely untenable!
He completely ignored the rules of the locker room!
……
As he walked out of the locker room, Luo Teng pulled Tang's jersey and whispered, "Don, what you did this time was too reckless. Both of them are very good to you, and you do this so that they can't step down. ”
Until this time, Tang Jue still didn't realize that he had made a mistake. He looked at Zidane, who was at the front of the line, and said softly: "He should understand me." ”
Luo Teng shook his head and said, "If it was someone else, he would have lost his temper a long time ago." He didn't lose his temper, he already looked at you differently, and you still want him to understand you? How to understand you? ”
"The people you value oppose you at a critical time?"
Luo Teng said softly with great concern: "You don't know anything about Zebina, alas! You...... After the game, you'll have to explain it to him! ”
Juventus' defender Zebina, because of a conflict with Zidane in the dressing room, has not entered the door of the French team since. He has complained many times in front of the media that Domenech only reuses players in France and does not pay enough attention to players like him in big clubs.
Zebina is smart, he did not talk about his contradictions with Zidane in front of the media. Of course, he didn't dare to say it, so he really had no way out. If he does speak out in front of the media about his conflict with Zidane, he could still be sidelined in the Juventus dressing room. Juventus is a place where Zidane is famous, and he has many friends there.
Tang Jue realized how much of a mistake he had made, and he lowered his head and pondered. Zinedine Zidane can be said to be his biggest backer now, and he has his back to this backer, and he has dodged a lot of open guns and arrows in the French team. What's more important is that he is kind to himself, thinking of Ronnie's words, Tang Jue is a little remorseful!
On one side is kindness, on the other side is self!
It takes a long time to figure this out. Now it's about to be a game, so let's think about these things after the game!
You have to score goals to prove yourself right. The conflict with Zidane will be discussed after the game. At that time, he may also forgive his recklessness in the joy of victory!
If it were Thierry Henry, what I was pondering now was how to complete the strategy of the manager and Zinedine Zidane. Instead of desperately executing their original intentions, even if they beat their opponents with goals at the end, where will Zidane and Domenech's faces be placed?
At 3:45, the players stood on the side of the pitch under the guidance of the referee, and the first thing to play was the "Marseillaise" of the French team. Tang Jue, who was standing at the end of the team, was thinking about how to deal with the defenders of the Swiss team in this way, and now he thought in his heart that he had only one desperate way, he must score goals and beat the Swiss team.
Only in this way can Zidane forgive himself for his recklessness.
This is the method that Tang Jue found, can Tang Jue fulfill his wish? Can goals be scored to help France win? Will the Swiss defenders, who have no way out, give him a chance to score?
Even if he scores goals and helps the French team win, will Zidane really forgive him?
Those who have opposed Zinedine Zidane in the dressing room are now out of the French squad. What awaits Tang Jue? (To be continued......)
