When Tang Jue was interviewed by reporters, a reporter from German Bild approached Beckenbauer to find out what he thought of the first winner of the "Best Newcomer Award in the World Cup". Beckenbauer pushed his glasses and said: "There is no doubt that Don won the award, in key games, key moments, with goals to save his team, he has become one of the key figures in the French team, to the present." ”

"Maybe some people don't like what he says and does off the pitch, but when you judge a player, you should look at what he does on the football pitch. I have no secret of my love for him and he will be one of the greatest players on the planet! ”

The Paris Daily interviewed Blatter, who said with a smile: "This is voted by the Internet and FIFA experts, and Don has an absolute advantage in both online voting and expert voting." This shows that he has received unanimous approval from experts and fans alike. ”

"Don has proven on the field that he deserves this award. I hope he can bring us a bigger surprise in the final to make up for the regret of not playing in the semi-finals. ”

……

Tang Jue left the reporter, got into the car, and returned to Alice. Alice rested her head on Tang Jue's shoulder and happily put her hand on his face. The car started slowly, and Tang Jue gently kissed Alice's smooth forehead. He was about to speak, but Alice shook her head and whispered, "Don't speak! ”

Tang Jue swallowed the words back in his throat, and Alice put her ear to his chest, and whispered, "Let me listen to your heartbeat, it will make me feel more real." ”

"Don't speak!"

Tang was suffocated into internal injuries. Alice showed her domineering side. Tang Jue had no choice but to caress Alice's long dark brown hair and tell her his language with his hands. This picture is very warm and romantic.

……

The major media commented on this matter in the fastest time. France TV said: "There is no surprise that Don won the award. For the other five young players who made it to the bottom list, this is a completely unequal PK. On the field, Don conquered the fans and FIFA experts with his wonderful performance. And they're just getting started. ”

Milan TV said: "This season, Don is winning the top scorer and best player in Serie A, the top scorer and best player in the Champions League. After the European Golden Boot. For the first time, he won the world's first award. Not surprisingly, he will also be the top scorer in this year's World Cup. ”

"This award-winning professional has swept Serie A, the Champions League, and now he has begun to search for awards in the World Cup. He was like a greedy man. The harvest is insatiable. ”

In his acceptance speech. He made no secret of his ambitions. To harvest the world of footballers. This is premised on the premise that the French team must defeat the Italian team in the final. Italy will not let him get it easily. Italy needs to salvage the image of Italian football with a World Cup trophy! ”

The headline of the team newspaper is: Tang indisputably won the "Best Newcomer Award in the World Cup"!

……

Back at the station, Tang Jue quickly forgot the joy of winning the award and devoted himself to training seriously. The Hercules Cup is a trophy that every player wants to lift the most. Countless heroes have struggled all their lives and won countless championships and personal honors, but they can't get their hands on the Hercules Cup.

The Dutch Three Musketeers, Figo......

Don never wanted to be like that, to reach the final, to be so close to the Hercules Cup, and like his teammates, he wanted to be the last winner in the final and lift the coveted trophy. The atmosphere in the French team was very good, Vieira put his own fight with Tang Jue aside, and although the two did not joke on the training ground like friends, they also communicated.

Kupe also gives up his preconceptions about Butters and helps Butters as much as he can in training. After entering the knockout round, Butters has shown with a heroic performance that he is fully qualified to be France's first goalkeeper.

Zidane and other veterans are slowly recovering their physical strength, physical fitness is their worst enemy, and they must be the best and most fully prepared. The French team were undoubtedly lucky, winning all three knockout games in regulation time and not dragging the game into extra-time, allowing them to save a lot of energy.

Will there be overtime in the final? No one could have predicted it, but they had to be well prepared for extra time. Only those who are well prepared can win in the crucial battle. This group of veterans who have experienced the finals of the 98th World Cup know what to do.

Tang Jue and Ribery, who participated in the World Cup for the first time, looked a little excited and a little nervous. They work very hard in training. On several occasions during intra-team battles, they dropped their teammates on the turf.

During the break, Zinedine Zidane found Tang Jue and Makelele found Franck Ribery, and they wanted to talk to them.

"Don, the training ground is never a competition field, on the training ground, they are opponents, but they are not opponents either. You look a little nervous. Zidane said as he handed Tang Jue mineral water. Tang Jue took the mineral water, took a few sips, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "I'm not nervous, but excited." ”

Zidane shook his head and did not argue with him on the subject. How can a person who is proud to the bone admit that he is nervous before the final.

"Eight years ago, we made it to the final for the first time. Fighting on home soil, everyone wants to keep the championship trophy, and for this reason, before the final, many players are a little confused with excitement, and even can't sleep well at night. The same goes for me, unable to get into deep sleep for two nights. Excited, quite excited, like you just showed at the training ground. ”

Tang Jue secretly thought: With the help of Xiao Feifei, my sleep has been very good. But if it weren't for Feifei, would I be like them?

"The day before the race, Platini came to our premises. He came to me and said, 'Brazil is more stressed than we are, Ronnie is more stressed than you. We should let go of the burden of the host country and carry the burden on our backs, many of whom will not even be able to enter the final. Italy in '90, with Baggio, Baresi and Maldini, was blocked out of the final by Argentina. is the best example of this. ’”

Inheritance, the football of a country, always needs to be inherited. Platini is a banner of French football, and at a critical time, this banner stepped forward to defuse the inner restlessness and tension of the French players. The championship of the World Cup is the effort of countless generations. In his own way, Platini reached the final of the World Cup.

Tang Jue secretly thought: Rome was really not built in a day.

"'We're not trying to keep the title, we're going to fight for it.'" , he said this. I thought about it for a long time to figure it out. The championship does not belong to anyone, the championship is not what should belong to you, but it is up to you to fight for it. There is nothing in this world that should belong to you. It takes you to work hard. Go for it. It could be yours. ”

"Since you want to fight for it, then you should have a good attitude and a good mentality. We can forget about the results and try to do the process well. Relax, you've been in the Champions League final this season and you know how important it is for a final. ”

In the Champions League final with Arsenal, Don was by no means nervous, only excited. The main reason is that Arsenal is worse than Milan, and in addition, the Champions League is held every year, and even if you lose the title, you will have a chance next year. But the World Cup is different, it is only held once every four years, and if you miss this time, you will have to wait for another four years. This is the source of Tang Jue's inner tension.

What's more important is that the current French team has a very good mix of personnel and a balance between attack and defense. After four years, after the retirement of these veterans, will the newcomers be able to grow up? Football is a team sport, and it is not possible to stand on the highest podium and not to play well.

In Tang Jue's subconscious, he believes that the French team in four years will be weaker than the current one in terms of overall strength. Four years later, he will definitely become the first person in the world, but so what, one person can lead the whole team to the bottom?

Tang Jue looked down at the turf, silently thinking about what Zidane said. If you miss this time, will you still have a chance to win the World Cup? I didn't play in the semi-finals, and I had to make up for the shortcomings with goals in the final.

He suddenly thought: That's right! Didn't Maradona single-handedly bring Argentina to the final in the 90 World Cup?

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly expanded, like a window opened, the sunlight outside the window illuminated the dark room, those nervous and anxious air, through the window, flew out, fresh air into the room!

There is a strange look in Tang Jue's eyes, even if four years later, the French team is not as strong as it is now, he can lead the team to the final like Maradona. Not only to enter the final, but also to make up for Maradona's regrets, and finally win the Hercules Cup!

The higher you stand, the farther you can see!

As far as the heart goes, the mind is as high as it is!

Tang Jue raised his head, turned his head to look at Zidane, and said with a smile: "I understand!" ”

Zidane really thought that Tang Jue understood his words, he didn't think at all that Tang Jue's anxiety came from four years later, from if he couldn't defeat the Italian team, four years later, whether the French team could lift the Hercules Cup.

Zidane patted Tang Jue on the shoulder and began to tell the story of eight years ago. Zidane's words are not ambitious, in the final eight years ago, he was very focused, not missing any opportunity to break through the opponent's goal, did not think about the final result, focused on the process of the game......

On July 8, the morning of the battle for the third and fourth places, FIFA announced the list of ten people competing for the "World Cup Golden Ball": Ballack, Klos, Pirlo, Cannavaro, Buffon, Maniche, Zidane, Tang Jue, Henry, Vieira.

Germany and Italy have three spots each on the ten-man squad, with Portugal having one player on the list and France leading the pack with four. It had to do with their performance in the knockout stages, and they were able to cross the three mountains of Spain, Brazil and Portugal to prove their quality.

As soon as the list was announced, there was an atmosphere of pride in France, and the French media shouted: Don has become the youngest candidate in history for the Golden Globe Award of the World Cup!

The Portuguese media thinks that FIFA is too unfair, and the ten players are all from the top four teams, why is Portugal only one selected? (To be continued......)
