Anelka's insults to Domenech have greatly damaged the image of French football and greatly affected the morale of the French team. The team needs encouragement at this time, and the French Football Federation has put a lot of effort into choosing a candidate, and the first person they thought of was Zinedine Zidane, but in the end they brought in Eric Cantona.

The best way to save the image of the French team is to put in a good performance at the upcoming European Championships. As the team's number one star and captain, Tang Jue's performance has a huge impact on the team's performance. Cantona has been a man of great grace to Don and has led the way in professional football, and the Football Association believes he is the right person to do so. As it turned out, they made the right decision.

After Cantona's speech, the morale of the French team has improved, and Tang Jue has also found a solution to the current predicament. In the next training, the team ignored the outside world's discussions and concentrated on training, and Tang Jue was also trying to recover his state.

With a home draw with Hungary, fans in France are very worried about the team's form. La Paris commented: The 0-0 draw with Hungary makes us even more aware of the fact that the French team cannot win without Don. Domenech did not let the captain who was in the whirlpool of public opinion play, and the French team's attack only blossomed but did not bear fruit, which is very worrying.

Before Don entered the French team, the French team's forward line was criticized. "Weak striker" has long plagued the French team, and in the 98 World Cup final, it was not the striker who scored two goals, but Zidane. Since Don entered the French team, he has slowly gotten rid of the status quo of "weak forwards" in the 06 World Cup. He scored eight goals in his first appearance and stepped up to beat Italy at a crucial moment in the final. Now this French team is even more inseparable from him.

Don has now grown into the world's number one striker, both for club and country, and has stepped up to the plate many times when the team is in crisis. The just-concluded Champions League final is the epitome. Are we going to destroy this once-in-a-century genius with our own hands?

The current image of the French team is so damaged that the European Championship needs to save it, and at this time, the fans should give them more encouragement than blame. We cannot be misled by certain foreign media. Be steadfast in your support for your team and your stars. It is they who bring us pride and honor, not the foreign media.

Fellow citizens, would you like to see the French team sink in the midst of your own scolding, or would you like to see the team achieve good results in the midst of your own encouragement?

The Italians set an example for us. Before the '06 World Cup. Phonegate erupts. Italian fans in this case. Choosing a team that was a staunch supporter of them, Italy was able to reach the final of the '06 World Cup and almost made it to the top. You baash Don for not loving France. You criticize the French team, criticize Don, is it patriotic?

……

After the publication of the Paris daily newspaper article, a number of media outlets published similar articles, calling on fans to give more encouragement to the French team. The fans also slowly calmed down, and those voices against Tang Jue slowly disappeared. Many fans said they would still support the French team as they did before, and they would also be there to cheer for the team.

The anti-Tang coalition continued to publish articles attacking Tang, but French fans who came to their senses were no longer influenced by them. The French team can finally prepare in a quiet environment.

……

The 13th European Championship Finals will be held from 7 to 29 June 2008 and will be co-hosted by Switzerland and Austria. This is the second time that the two countries have co-hosted the European Football Championship since 2000. In Group C, the French team is known as the "Group of Death", and in addition to the French team, there are two world-strong teams, the Netherlands and Italy, all three of which have the strength to win the championship. The worst team in the group is the Romanian team.

France and Italy are old rivals, and after meeting in the '06 World Cup final, they were in the same group in the European Championship qualifiers. It's not that enemies don't get together, fate makes them meet again.

France's first group game is on 10 June, and their first opponent is Romania, and it will be an important game for them to have a chance of qualifying against the other two strong teams. The second match, which will be played on the 14th against the Netherlands, will be a crucial match to determine qualification, and if we can beat them, we will lay the foundation for qualification.

If we win the first two games, the last game against Italy will be easier. If there are surprises in the first two games, this one will be a battle of life and death. Mighty Italy is known for its defense, and it is not easy to defeat them.

The schedule is still in France's favor, as long as they win the first opponent, they will have a certain psychological advantage. As long as you win the last two games, you can qualify. However, it will be difficult to beat either the Netherlands or Italy.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of June 5, the French team appeared at Geneva International Airport in Switzerland, and a large number of reporters were already waiting for them. In the wake of Anelka's insult to Domenech, France has been in the spotlight of the football world. Domenech and Tang Jue became the focus of reporters' interviews.

The events of the journey of more than an hour were not too long, but the expressions of the French team were not relaxed. Except for Domenech and Tang Jue, the others quickly left the airport and got into the bus, and no one wanted to face the media at this time.

"Mr. Domenech, what do you expect from this European Championship?" A Swiss journalist was the first to ask.

Domenech said: "Our goal is to win the championship and repeat the glory of eight years ago. ”

The World Cup winner plays the European Championship, the goal is, of course, the title, can Domenech have other options?

A British journalist asked: "Mr. Domenech, what do you think about the group stage?" ”

The implication of this reporter's words is that in the group of death, the French team should first consider qualifying from the group of death, and then they can talk about the knockout matches, as for winning the championship...... The French team, which is in the whirlpool of public opinion, wants to win the championship? I'm afraid it's too difficult!

The French coach's brows furrowed slightly, yes, even if there was no Anelka incident, it would have been difficult to qualify from the group of death, not to mention......

Domenech became sad when his rhetoric came to fruition: "Every game in the Group of Death is very important, Italy and the Netherlands are respectable opponents and our goal is to get points from them. Romania are also a strong team, no game in the group stage is easy, and we treat every game as if it were the last. ”

A reporter from the French team newspaper asked: "What is the mood of the French players right now?" Is the preparation situation normal? ”

The French boss said: "We had a tough time and now the whole squad is in a stable mood and the preparation is normal. Several players who participated in the Champions League final are slowly recovering from form, while the rest of the squad is in good form. ”

"The French media chose to support the team at a critical time, and on behalf of the whole team, I would like to express my gratitude to them and hope that they will continue to support us!"

……

On the other hand, Tang Jue is being "tortured" by the media!

"Don, some people say that the Anelka incident has something to do with you, what do you think about this?"

Don said politely: "Anelka's matter is his personal matter. If you have to contact me, I can't help it, anyway, my mouth grows on your mouth! ”

'As captain and part of the French team, I'm very saddened by what happened to the team and it affected our preparations. However, we will rise to the occasion and give the fans who love France a great game. ”

He took a deep breath and said firmly: "Also, this is my first European Championship and I don't want to end in failure. I want to tell everyone that I will lead France to the top of the podium because this is my first major since captaining the team. My dream is to lift the championship trophy as the captain! ”

Without applause, even the French journalist felt that the trip to Switzerland was not so easy. In the group of death, it is difficult to qualify from the group, let alone win the championship. Before the war, it was commonplace for reporters who were familiar with Tang Jue to make bold statements.

Although most of Tang's rhetoric was completed, this time, the reporters expressed skepticism.

"Some media believe that the most realistic goal of the French team at present is to play well in the group stage and find a way to qualify from the group of death, as for winning the championship, it is after the group qualification. What do you think of this view? ”

Tang Jue said: "People who hold this view don't believe that we can qualify from the group of death. I tell you that we will definitely make it out of the group, we will aim for the title and only then will we be able to save the image of French football. ”

"As the captain of the French team, I have a natural responsibility to save French football! I'll do what I say! ”

A British journalist asked: "Practice has shown that many players who perform well in the Champions League final will not be able to perform well in the next major tournaments. What gives you so much confidence? ”

Tang Jue raised his eyebrows and said: "The so-called law has never been an obstacle for me. There is only one enemy of mine, and that is myself. In the Champions League final, I wasn't at my best, I was able to lead the team to the final title, as long as I get back to my best, no one can be an obstacle for me. That's where my confidence comes from! ”

"The criticism from the outside is the motivation for me, and I will fight them back with victory. I was really depressed for a while before I came to Geneva because some of the fans didn't support me anymore. But now, they finally figured it out and chose to support the French team and support me. ”

"In this case, I don't have any burden on my heart anymore. All I have to do is help the team win with my own goals! (To be continued......)
