Chapter Two Hundred and Three: Provocation from Vieira!
Arsenal lost the final, and the Spanish and British media analyzed that Henry is about to leave Arsenal and go to Barcelona.
However, on May 20, the British Sun suddenly reported that Henry renewed his contract with Arsenal for four years, with a weekly salary of 110,000 pounds!
Thierry Henry's rampant transfer rumours have suddenly turned out to be dramatic. Henry's approach left the media scratching their heads. Ronnie, Maldini, and Tang Jue looked at this report and felt very strange. Tang Jue decided to return to the national team and ask Henry what he really thought.
The British Daily Mail reported on May 21 that the reason why Henry stayed at Arsenal was because after returning to London, he was warmly welcomed by Arsenal fans at the airport, which is the reason why Henry stayed at Arsenal.

The Champions League is over, and the eyes of fans in the world have shifted to the upcoming World Cup. All the heroes are actively preparing for the quadrennial World Cup.
As early as May 14, Domenech announced the 23-man squad for the World Cup, and French stars such as Pire, Zebina, Giuli, Miku, and Anelka were not selected. The selection of the two newcomers, Chimbonda and Ribery, who have not been ordained, came as a surprise to many.
Twelve players in the 23-man squad have played in leagues outside of France, and most of the players in this squad have represented France at the 2002 World Cup. Domenech chose experience, the stage of the World Cup, the pressure is too great, and experience is especially important.
Goalkeepers: Butters, Kupe, Rondero.
Defenders: Abidal, Boumson, Chimbonda, Gallas, Givet, Thuram, Sagnor, Silvestre.
Midfielders: Dorasu, Derla, Makelele, Malouda, Vieira, Zidane.
Forwards: Cisse, Thierry Henry, Franck Ribery, Tang Jue, Trezeguet, Wiltord.
The French media have expressed their opinions on Domenech's 23-man squad, believing that Pire, Zebina, and Giuli should be in the squad. These three have proven themselves on the European stage.
Facing the pressure of public opinion. France coach Domenech made his position and opinion clear at the press conference: "I know that everyone is waiting for this list, and it is a great responsibility for me. We select players based on several criteria: player level, game experience, complementarity, and personality of the players.
After two years of observing the players, as well as discussions with my assistants, I settled on a 23-man roster based on the above criteria. It's not going to be an easy thing to do, the list is certainly not going to make everyone happy, and I'm sad to knock out some of the players. But no matter what people say, these are the 23 people who participated in the World Cup, and I hope to get everyone's support, and I have a lot of confidence in these players. β
Girati, the famous football show host of France TΓ©lΓ©visions. We interviewed French football legend Lalke about the list. Lalkai commented on the list of 23 people.
"Anelka, the unruly striker in the front, is once again out of reach in the World Cup. I think this has something to do with the relatively low level of the Turkish league that Anelka plays. β
Other unsuccessful Arsenal veteran Andreas Pire, Barcelona's Giuli and Bremen's Miku were also missing. I don't think Pire's selection was a surprise because he barely got a chance to play in Domenech's national team. And despite Pire's excellent form of late. But his place in the Arsenal mainstay is under threat from newcomers. And after all, Marseille's Ribery is on the rise, and the call for selection for the national team is extremely high. Gyuli has had too little playing time and too many transfer rumours at the end of the season throughout the season. became the main reason for his defeat. β
"It's a pity that Juve's Zebina was not selected, this Juventus defender, in Juve's tacit cooperation with Thuram, has performed well in Serie A and the Champions League."
"Every World Cup or big tournament has new stars coming out, such as Owen and Wayne Rooney, and I hope that the two rookies of the French team, Don and Franck Ribery, will also be able to do well during the World Cup. As for Don, he has already proven himself in Serie A and the Champions League this season, and he can improve the attacking quality of the French team as long as he plays at his level at the World Cup. β
β¦β¦
Tang Jue returned to Marseille on May 24 and reported to the national team. The World Cup will start on June 9, and the time for the competition is very close. France's first opponent is Switzerland, which will be played on June 13 in Stuttgart.
At one o'clock at noon, Tang Jue dragged his suitcase and appeared in Domenech's room. Domenech greeted him with a smile and gave Tang Jue a big hug: "Congratulations!" The final performance was great, I'm so proud of you! β
Tang Jue smiled and said, "Professor Wenger's tactics are so clever that I was almost devoured by him. Luckily, Milan are better than Arsenal, and in addition to me, there are Ronnie and Kaka. We were lucky enough to have the last laugh! β
Domenech looked at Tang Jue carefully and said, "This is not like your style. Your performance in the final shocked the entire world. β
Domenech began to build a young French team after Euro 04, but in the World Cup qualifiers, the performance was very unsatisfactory, and Zidane had to be brought back again. Tang Jue's appearance is just in line with his philosophy, and more importantly, through the World Cup Qualifiers, Tang Jue not only conquered the fans, but also conquered the players of the national team with his wonderful performance.
In Domenech's football blueprint, Tang Jue is the leading figure in the future of French football. The French team has no shortage of excellent midfielders, such as Franck Francis, who has just emerged in the past two seasons, is a good midfielder. If you add Tang Jue, the French team's attack becomes sharp.
The two talked in the room for half an hour, and Domenech asked Tang Jue to hurry up and recover, and told him that starting June 1, the French team will play three warm-up matches according to the opponents in the group stage, which are Mexico, Denmark and China. France are in Group G and will face Switzerland, Togo and South Korea in the group stage.
Hearing the name of the Chinese team, Tang Jue had a strange emotion in his heart. He never thought about the game against the Chinese team again. Domenech looked at the expression on Tang Jue's face, remembering a few months ago. In France, there was a matter of donating animal heads.
Domenech said with a smile: "Don, in fact, there are many players in the football world who are in the same situation as you, such as Deco, Zidane is also like this, he himself is of Algerian descent. β
Tang Jue raised his head and looked at the coach and said, "I have figured out these things a long time ago, but I didn't think of playing against the Chinese team." β
Domenech laughed: "The opponents in the group stage are South Korea, and this arrangement is targeted. β
Tang Jue's mood slowly recovered, and he looked at Domenech with a smile and said, "Coach, I fully support your arrangement. You don't have to worry about me. I'm a professional footballer and I know I need to do it. β
Then Tang Jue came to his room, where he lived with Dorasu from Saint-Germain. DorasΓΊ was still in Milan last season and joined Milan as the best player in Ligue 1 in 03-04. Dosula under the starlight of Pirlo, Seedorf. It seems a lot darker.
Due to the fact that there are fewer opportunities to play in Milan. For this year's World Cup, he chose to return to China. Dosula played with great spirit and was very good in the few minutes he played in Milan. Back at Saint-Germain, he immediately became a regular in the team and showed a high level.
Dosula plays the same position as Pire, on the right flank. Due to his excellent performance, Domenech eventually gave up on Pire.
As soon as he entered the door, the handsome Dorasu, who has Indian ancestry, was lying on the bed watching TV, and he was the only one in the 23-person squad, and Saint-Germain was the only one selected. Roten has not played much this season due to injury, which is also an important reason for his defeat this time.
Looking at Tang Jue, Dora Su jumped out of bed barefoot and gave Tang Jue a big hug. The two formed a friendship in last year's qualifiers.
Tang Jue knew the reason for Domenech's arrangement, and he smiled and patted Dorasu on the shoulder.
Dorasu smiled and said, "Deu, Roten and the others asked me to convey their greetings to you. β
Tang Jue jumped vertically, jumped on the bed, and was still comfortable on the bed. He turned his head and asked, "Are they all okay?" What happened to Roten's injury? β
Dorasu sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the hot Milan star, shrugged and said, "Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad." By the way, Roten asked me to ask you, when will your wine be returned? β
Tang Jue patted his head, and suddenly remembered his promise to Dewu that after the Champions League final, he would invite them to drink. Who knew that he and his teammates got drunk on the night of the final, and got on the plane back to Milan at noon the next day.
"Sorry! I'll definitely find time to make up for it in the future! Don looked at Dosula apologetically, he didn't keep his promise, whatever the reason, he should explain it to Dewu, and he forgot about it.
Dosula said with a smile: "They said that in order to punish you, they asked you to score a few more goals in the World Cup. β
Tang Jue lay comfortably on the bed and said with a smile: "This is no problem!" β
Dora Su shook her head, this man was always so confident, both in front of the media and in private. Dosula had heard a lot about Tang Jue at Saint-Germain this season, and he really didn't expect a young player to grow so quickly, even in the history of football.
β¦β¦
The team has been training for a week now, and the season has just ended, and Domenech has spent the week focusing on recovery training for his players. On the afternoon of arriving at the national team, Tang Jue took a two-hour break at noon and participated in the training of the whole team.
At half past three in the afternoon, the French team came out of the room in groups of three or five, ready to go to the afternoon training. In the corridor, his teammates looked at Tang Jue and enthusiastically stepped forward to congratulate him, and Zidane gave Tang Jue a big hug.
The corridor became crowded, and Vieira was very unhappy when he watched this scene, thinking to himself that if he was a week late, he would have privileges at a young age. But his face was still welcoming. Henry's mood was average, and a faint sense of loss could still be seen in his expression.
Ronnie told Tang Jue what he talked about with Henry after the final, and Tang Jue stepped forward to hug Henry, since he was going to sit in the same boat, then from now on, he had to show his sincerity.
Henry returned to London two days before Don and left all the contract negotiations to his agent. He knew that this might be his last World Cup, and he should cherish it.
"I heard you returned two days ago." Tang Jue said in Henry's ear. Henry threw away the trace of loss in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is not only Zidane's last World Cup, but also my last, of course I have to be positive." β
Tang Jue thought about it and didn't say anything, there are many people here, and some words can only be communicated in private.
"Training!" Vieira shouted and led the way to the elevator. The situation is not good, and Vieira believes that this situation cannot be allowed to continue. Also of Asian descent, Dosula and Tang Jue walked towards the elevator together.
When he walked into the elevator, Tang Jue heard Vieira's voice: "It's a week late, and it's still so high-profile!" β
The elevator can stand seven or eight people at a time, and the people standing in the elevator suddenly go quiet. The day before yesterday, in order to relax, Domenech asked the whole team to climb the mountain to relax, Butters climbed less than 300 meters before turning his head down the mountain, Kupe was very dissatisfied with Butters' behavior, and soon he also went down.
The World Cup is about to begin, and the French team has begun to fight secretly for the sake of position, which is not a good situation. Now Vieri has challenged Tang Jue. This is not a good stubble, and the air in the elevator is starting to get nervous! (To be continued......)
