Chapter 167: Can Tang Jue play tonight?
The reporters waited two hours for the French team to come out of the training ground. Escorted by stadium security, Tang Jue and his teammates boarded the bus, while Domenech stayed behind to deal with the media reporters.
"Why did Don heal so quickly?"
"Did Tang participate in the joint practice today?"
"Will Don start tonight's game?"
……
Countless problems have sprung up like a tidal wave for the French coach, and there is a great tendency to drown. Domenech said to the reporters who surrounded him: "Don is just here for recovery training today, and we have to ask the team doctor for advice on whether he can play tonight." He didn't participate in the team's joint training today, just did simple physical training. ”
"Don's return has boosted morale and the players are confident for tonight's game. The Netherlands are in very good form, they were in awe-inspiring form in their opening game and we will be serious about preparing for tonight's game. ”
A Dutch journalist asked dissatisfiedly: "Three days ago, you announced that Don would take three weeks to recover, why did he start training three days later?" Could it be that you lied three days ago? ”
Domenech recounted the argument that had been prepared for a long time: "Yesterday Don felt that his injuries were not so serious, so he re-examined, and after the results of the examination came out, it proved that it was a misdiagnosis three days ago. ”
Reporters were in an uproar, and many reporters did not buy this explanation, and an Italian reporter asked: "Now that medical equipment is so advanced, how can it be misdiagnosed?" Did you deliberately set off smoke bombs? ”
Domenech replied: "I'm not a team doctor, so I'm not very clear about it. Don is now starting to return to training. It's good news for the French team, and it's also good news for the French fans. But tonight we can't say for sure if he'll start. ”
"That's it! It's a game coming up tonight and I still have a lot of work to do! With that, Domenech left the crowd of reporters under the protection of the security guards at the training ground. Dutch and Italian journalists spat angrily on the ground.
"Oh, phew! I still want to deceive people! Damn the French! Don will definitely start tonight, and we will definitely not be deceived by you again! ”
French journalists snickered on the side!
A reporter said to himself: "So, this is an oolong incident of the French team doctor? ”
……
At noon, major European TV media broke the news that Tang Jue was participating in the training. This is explosive news!
Dutch and Italian fans scolded the French for being mean. French fans were overjoyed. A lot of young fans are running to tell each other that they are looking forward to tonight's game. Paris TV said: "As soon as the news of Don's resumption of training reached France, the clouds over France dissipated! For French fans, nothing matters now. It's great news that Don has started training! ”
Dutch national television said: "According to the news sent back by our correspondent from Switzerland. Don showed up at the training ground this morning. According to the observation of our reporter, Tang's gait is normal, as if he has recovered. After the training session. The French coach announced that Don's training today was only to resume training and did not participate in the team's joint training. ”
"Three days ago, the French team announced: 'Don will be cured in three weeks.'" However, just three days later, Don magically appeared at the training ground, and the French lied! The answer given by the French coach turned out to be that the diagnosis three days ago was inaccurate. ”
"We're not going to comment on the French doctor's own goal now, just tonight's game. Basten must be ready for Don to start, and although the French boss said he couldn't confirm whether Don would start, we couldn't believe what he said. ”
Milan TV said: "There are two very different opinions on whether Don will be able to play tonight. Don took part in this morning's training session and some said it was an own goal from the French team doctor and thought Don could play tonight. The training was not allowed to be watched by reporters, and after the training, the French coach said that Don was only a recovery training session, and some people thought that Don would not play tonight. ”
"The people who think Don will be able to play tonight are mainly based on Don's gait and what the Frenchman has done before. The French boss said he couldn't be sure Don would play tonight and people no longer believed what he said and thought he was setting off smoke bombs again. ”
"The people who think Don can't play tonight are mainly based on what the French coach said, as well as the fact that French training is not open to the public. If Don can play tonight, why didn't the Frenchman let reporters watch the training? ”
Our reporter interviewed Milan star Maldini by phone, Maldini believes that there is a recovery period after the injury of the player, and it is impossible to play just after the injury. He thinks that in that game three days ago, Don did get injured. As a former teammate, he believes that Don is a proud man who would never have been stretchered off the field if his injury was not serious. ”
"Based on the views and phenomena of all parties, this station believes that Tang will not play tonight!"
Major European media are speculating about whether Tang Jue can play tonight, and there are fierce disputes within the French team. The team doctor firmly believes that Tang Jue will not be able to play tonight, and Domenech tries to convince the team doctor to let Tang Jue play tonight.
"I'm the team doctor, and I want to give a professional opinion. Despite checking that he is healed, I think he will need at least three days to recover! ”
Domenech looked at the team doctor and said: "Tonight's game is important, we can't afford to lose, he has to play!" ”
The team doctor shook his head and said, "It is undeniable that this is a miracle, Tang exceeded my expectations and was able to participate in training so quickly." But I don't think he can play tonight, even if it's the final tonight, I'll stick to my point! ”
Domenech exclaimed, "Do you know how many pairs of eyes are looking at us now? Did you know that the whole of France, wants to see Don play on the field? Even the whole world, wants to see him on the field! ”
The team doctor said firmly: "No, no, no!" Unless you fire me now! ”
Seeing the stalemate, assistant coach Henrik hurriedly persuaded the team doctor to leave here temporarily, and both of them were calm and calm. The team doctor as he leaves the room. Speaking to Domenech, he said: "From a professional point of view, Don will definitely not play tonight. From a strategic point of view, tonight is not a do-or-die match, and even if we lose tonight, we can still have a chance to qualify. Have you ever wondered what Don would do if he rushed into the game and got injured again? ”
"The players who are recovering are the most vulnerable, you have to think long-term, you have to think about the whole European Championship!"
After the team doctor left, Domenech fell into deep thought. The team doctor's final words hit the heart of the matter. Even if we don't beat the Netherlands tonight. France still have a chance to qualify. What if you risk letting Tang Jue play tonight and get injured again? How will the outside world criticize it?
Will Tang Jue be able to beat the Netherlands when he plays?
What if we can't beat the Netherlands tonight and Tang Jue is injured again?
Even if he defeated the Netherlands, Tang was injured. Is it worth it? Can he Domenech live with such consequences?
This risk. Is it worth the risk?
Assistant coach Henrik sat quietly on the sidelines. Looking at Domenech's constantly jumping brows, he said softly: "If you have difficulty deciding, it is better to call him over to discuss." ”
Refuse the professional advice of the team doctor. Domenech has the right to let Tang Jue play, but doing so will chill the team doctor. Respect the opinion of the team doctor, think about the whole European Cup, and put Tang Jue on the bench, what will he think?
06 World Cup group stage, France and South Korea match. France fell behind 0-1 in the first half, and Zinedine Zidane asked him at half-time to let Tang Jue play. Domenech did not make a clear statement at that time, Zidane was substituted early, he walked directly to the dressing room, and angrily kicked the door of the dressing room.
There was a crack in the general, if it weren't for the president of the Football Association, Platini and others to resolve the contradiction between the two of them. France will never be able to make it to the final, let alone win the Hercules Cup against Italy.
……
Domenech let out a long breath and decided to listen to the team doctor and not take the risk. The French coach nodded and said: "Before he comes to me, go to the team doctor and listen to the team doctor's opinion!" ”
Not taking risks, which is in line with his conservative character.
……
Tang Jue came to Domenech's room with a gloomy face and sat on the sofa. Domenech pointed to the teacup on the table and said, "Drink tea first!" ”
Tang Jue gently picked up the teacup and said to him: "Coach, it is up to you to decide the players to play. The team doctor's opinion can only be used as a reference, and you can't listen to him completely. ”
Domenech looked at the disciple who was drinking tea and said with a smile, "I have to consider his professional opinion." I've been arguing with him for a long time about your play. This old man is too stubborn, what to say, we have to think about the whole European Cup, tonight is not a battle of life and death; Say what, players in the recovery period are the most vulnerable, what to say, even if you beat the Netherlands tonight, if you get injured, you will lose more than you will lose, etc. ”
"Tell me, how am I going to refute him?"
Tang Jue painfully put the teacup on the table. The team doctor has a point, players in recovery are the most vulnerable, but it can be quite painful to sit on the bench and watch their teammates play in an important game. In the semi-finals of the '06 World Cup, France played against Portugal, he sat on the bench, and he didn't want to taste that taste anymore.
Domenech smiled and said, "Look, you don't know how to refute him." ”
"Don, he has a point, if we want to win the championship, we have to think long-term. Tonight is not a do-or-die match, our goal is to win the championship in the end. To do great things, you have to know how to make trade-offs, and I was deeply touched by the fact that you left your old suspicions and went to Milan and invited Vieira. I appreciate your attitude of seeking war, you are a person who does great things, I believe you can think clearly! ”
Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Okay, I agree not to play tonight." Coach, can I give you advice during the game? ”
Even if you can't play, with the ability of supercomputer Xiao Feifei, you can still help the team win off the field. However, Domenech did not agree: "You are not a member of the coaching staff at this time, don't you believe in my ability?" ”
Tang Jue hurriedly said, "No, coach, you think too much." Well, as long as I didn't say. ”
Unity comes first, and Don never wants to make a mess over this matter. Even if they lose to the Netherlands tonight, France still have a chance of qualifying. (To be continued......)
