Chapter 165: Chain Reaction!
Domenech hoped for a miracle, and so did France as a whole.
On the 11th, the Lyon daily newspaper reported: Last night hundreds of fans came to the place where Don used to live, put flowers and send blessings. Many fans went to church this morning to pray for Don's speedy recovery. The match between France and Romania made the whole of France see that Don is desperate for the honor of France.
The French fans saw it, so they were moved. With his actions, the Don shattered his opinion that he did not love France, and there was no longer a market for the wave of "down-to-Tang"!
Romania's defense was ferocious, and they turned a football match into a wrestling match. Last night, Tang was violated by the opponent a total of 14 times, and the first thirteen times he stubbornly stood up and continued to play. For the fourteenth time, he finally fell. However, this fourteenth fall opened the door for France to victory, and his stab gave France a 1-0 lead.
Winning is everyone's dream and motivation to work for it, but we can't hurt players for the sake of winning, and that should be strongly condemned. What is surprising is that Zivo, who left Don injured, did not even receive a yellow card, God, what is the referee on duty doing?
If the referee on duty had been more strict in enforcing the law, Tang would not have been able to lie on the hospital bed now. We strongly question the scale of enforcement of the referee on duty, and call on the UEFA referees committee to step up enforcement efforts to keep savagery away from football and protect talented players!
At the moment Don was carried out on a stretcher, a cloud hung over the whole of France, and the whole of France was worried about his injuries. Last night made it clear to the French fans that without Don, their team couldn't have a better way to break the opposing goal.
……
A number of French media outlets have condemned Romania's brutal kicks. Ziwo was slammed because he was the one who caused Tang Jue to leave the field directly injured. The rest of the European media also thought that Romania's style of play was too rough.
According to the German newspaper Bild: Last night was the first round of Group C, with France beating Romania 2-0 thanks to goals from Don and Thuram. In the match played a little later, Italy lost 0-3 at the feet of the Dutchman.
Last night, Don was the hero of the French team, and in the 44th minute of the first half, Radoni was sent off with a red card for a brutal takedown near the centre circle. With the advantage of numbers, the French team launched a frantic attack in the second half. Thirteenth minute. The Romanian exclusion zone was in chaos. The Romanian, with his tenacity, kept the ball out of the goal twice in a row.
At that moment, Don scrambled to shoot at Zivo when he tackled. He succeeded, and the ball went into the back of the net. France led 1-0. But. Don also paid a heavy price for this goal. He was carried off the field on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. It is not yet known when he will be healed.
In the 42nd minute of the second half, the 36-year-old Thuram took advantage of a corner. Scoring again against Romania helped France win the game 2-0. France won the game, but they lost their sharpest weapon!
Last night, the Romanians played very savagely, and they tried to stop Don's breakthrough with a ferocious foul. France's number one star, known as the "Iron Man", actually fell, which is simply a "miracle!" ”。 Is Don going to say goodbye to his inaugural European Championship like this?
The whole of France is crying!
……
The British media was ready to lash out at Tang Jue, but at last night's press conference, they were beaten by Domenech and Thuram. They knew that if they published the article as they had originally thought, they could suffer condemnation from the whole of France. So they changed their minds and objectively evaluated last night's game.
The headline of The Sun reads: 2-0, France beat 10-man Romania to get off to a good start!
The headline of the Daily Mail reads: France win 2-0, the ball dominates the game with an injury!
The Guardian's headline read: Don helps France get off to a flying start, France beat Romania 2-0!
The Daily Telegraph still did not intend to give up attacking Tang Jue, but he did not attack him from the aspect of responsibility, but criticized him for not singing the national anthem. However, his report did not cause a stir in the French.
……
Fans and the media began to pay attention to Tang Jue's injury, and on the morning of the 11th, the spokesman of the French team announced that after an examination in the hospital, Tang would recover in three weeks!
The whole world was in an uproar, and the French media were furious, criticizing UEFA in addition to the Romanian team.
"Today is a sad day for the whole of France and Don will miss all the remaining matches," said France Télévision. We strongly demand that UEFA punish Zivo! ”
Sky Sports said: "The ball boss is saying goodbye to his inaugural European Championship! ”
"Don was undoubtedly the focus of the world's attention for the season that has just ended, leading Real Madrid to all the trophies and creating the first treble in Spanish history," said Madrid TV. Before the start of the European Championship, the French team and Don were caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, so he did not have the opportunity to make a big statement. But every single one of us knows that he is an ambitious player and his goal is definitely to win the European Cup.
However, the world was unpredictable, and in the first game of the European Cup, he was injured and left early. This morning the French team announced that Don will be cured in three weeks!
What does this mean, that he will miss the rest of the French team! Explain that his first trip to the European Championship is over!
No one knows how painful he is now, and for this current No. 1 star, who is desperate for a championship, there is nothing more painful than lying in a hospital bed and watching others lift the championship trophy!
It's over, he can finally get a good rest, and we hope that he will recover soon and bring more victories and trophies to Real Madrid! ”
The British press suppressed their joy and hypocritically published articles denouncing the Romanians. Anyway, Tang Jue is no longer able to participate in the next games, and they have to be generous to redeem the world's fans' perception of them.
The Italian and Dutch media were overjoyed and criticized Romania's brutal style and demanded that the UEFA referees committee must improve the level of law enforcement, strictly enforce the law against those malicious fouls, and protect the professional lives of athletes.
Romania coach Piturka defended in an interview with the media under pressure: "We did play a little rougher, but we didn't want anyone to get hurt or put anyone in a hospital bed. ”
Pitulca's remarks were attacked by the French media, and the Paris daily newspaper sarcastically said: The butcher actually said that he didn't want people to be hurt, he didn't want people to lie in a hospital bed, but Don was lying in a hospital bed now! And lie down for three weeks!
Milan Sport reports: France have lost their number one star, casting a shadow over qualification. As a Frenchman, Platini was furious. According to credible sources, last night the UEFA president met with officials of the refereeing committee and asked them to severely punish malicious fouls in future enforcement.
……
On the afternoon of the 11th, the officials of the referee committee announced that malicious fouls will be severely punished, Romanian midfielder Radoi will be suspended for two games, and Zivo will be suspended for one game!
There was an uproar in the Romanian media, who thought that the additional punishment for Radoni was excusable, but the punishment for Zivo was a bit excessive. The Romanian Football Association immediately said that it would appeal for Zivo!
No one thought that Tang Jue's injury would cause such a series of reactions. The World Sports News said sourly: "There are people on the ball boss!" ”
Johansen published an article to express his opinion: A series of overreactions caused by the injury of the ball bully once again fully show that there are people above the ball boss. This season, Real Madrid traveled to Germany to play the Champions League group stage against Werder Bremen, and before the start of the game, the UEFA president issued an official letter to each club - no racism on the field!
Maybe many people don't understand the reason behind it, but in fact, at that time, the football tyrant was attacked by Real Madrid's diehard UltrasSur at the Bernabeu.
There are people up there who are easy to do. Italy were treated unfairly in the match against the Netherlands, with the Netherlands scoring the first goal and Ruud van Nistelrooy in an offside position, which was ignored by the assistant referee and referee on duty. Why do the referees do this? In the Group of Death, France's strongest opponents are Italy and the Netherlands.
France are more familiar with Italy than the Netherlands, with both teams in the same group in the European Championship qualifiers, and France have won both games. To qualify from the Group of Death, France will have to beat either the Netherlands or Italy. France have little chance of winning against the Netherlands, so they must pin their hopes on Italy.
Italy's biggest beneficiary of the defeat to the Netherlands was France, who would have qualified with a win over Italy in the final round. If Italy beat the Netherlands, the situation would become very complicated, and there would even be a situation where three teams would have the same number of points and a better goal difference, which is something that the French do not want to see.
So Italy had to lose to the Netherlands. At this point, we can understand why the referees turned a blind eye to Ruud van Nistelrooy's offside. Don't be surprised if Romania draws with Italy in the second round of Group C, because it will be more beneficial for France, and they will qualify for their last game as long as they draw with Italy!
With a strong defensive ability, the French team is quite sure that they will draw with Italy. There are people on the French team, and there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do!
But we have to ask: how far can the French team go without the ball dominance even if they enter the knockout round?
As soon as Johansen's article was published, many British media reprinted it, and the Italian media also began to reprint the article in large numbers, so conspiracy theories began to circulate in the European Cup!
As it turned out later, Italy did end up in a draw with Romania. After that game, conspiracy theories were rife in the Euros.
UEFA and Platini were under heavy pressure, and UEFA authorities were quick to refute the idea that the Eurosa was the highest level in Europe and that no one was rigging the game. UEFA has put a lot of effort into creating a fair and just playing environment for this European Championship. If someone thinks that some people are manipulating the game in favor of France, then why put France in the group of death?
UEFA's rebuttal is forceful, and conspiracy theories have temporarily disappeared from the media, but among the people, conspiracy theories still have a market. (To be continued......)
