Chapter 186: The Beginning of a Feud with Terry!
The strong England team is looking to perform well in next year's World Cup in Germany. After six rounds of group stage qualifying for the World Cup, England firmly topped the group. As long as they don't make big mistakes in the next four rounds, they will have no problem advancing to the finals of the World Cup.
England took this friendly very seriously and arrived in Marseille three days before the game.
The French media hope that the French team can have a good performance at home. They made a pre-match prediction about France's starting lineup. The team newspaper believes that Domenech will make adjustments to the French forward line, which has been criticized before. Don is very likely to start because he was the hero of the win over Denmark.
A large number of journalists from England also came with the team to witness the warm-up match at the Velodrome Stadium. Witness the mighty England win over France here.
France and England have played each other 27 times in history, with 7 wins, 4 draws and 16 defeats. The most recent meeting took place last year, when the two teams were in the same group at the European Championships, with Frank Lampard taking the lead first to give England a 1-0 lead. England had a chance to extend their leads, but Butters denied David Beckham's excellent shot.
Just when everyone thought England would win the game 1-0, Zidane suddenly broke out, and he equalized with a direct free kick in front. Thierry Henry converted a penalty in stoppage time as France won the final minute against England.
In this friendly match, England is here to take revenge!
England have world-renowned stars on all three lines, and they are balanced in attack and defence. It's an opponent that every team has to deal with carefully.
England's opponent is France with Zidane, so Erikson was very cautious before the game, saying in an interview with the media: "France are a strong team because they have Zidane. All I can say now is that we will give it our all. ”
Domenech praised Eriksson in front of the media. Say he's a great coach. When it comes to the upcoming match, he believes it will be a good match. Both sides will definitely give the fans a great game.
When asked by reporters if he would change the starting lineup, Domenech said vaguely: "I will depend on the form of the players. Decide on the starting list. ”
A reporter asked: "Will Don be in the starting list?" ”
Domenech continued to say vaguely: "It depends on his form and the needs of the team. ”
Heartthrob David Beckham said in an interview: "It's going to be a tough game, France just beat Denmark. Their morale is really high. However, we will fight to the end. ”
Speaking to The Sun, Terry said: "Oh, I know him, he was at Stamford Bridge last season and it was the Champions League group stage. He was very average in that game. And not as strong as the French press says. It seems that his speed is good, as for the technique...... If he's going to play, I'm going to keep him at bay. ”
Chelsea were on the bench for that game as they had already progressed from the group stage two rounds earlier. And Tang Jue at that time. He is entering the first low point of his career. It was a difficult time, Tang Jue did not score a goal in three games, and he did not even have a handful of shots on goal.
When a reporter relayed Terry's words to Tang Jue, Tang Jue said: "If I can play, I must break through him and score a goal!" ”
The good show has already been played, and the reporter of the good thing passed Tang Jue's words to Terry, who chuckled and said: "There are many strikers who have thought about this sentence in their hearts, but this is the first time someone has said it. Don is a brave man, but the football field does not rely on bravery, but on skill. ”
The war of words between the two before the game made the media extremely excited. The British media thought that Don was too arrogant and did not take Terry seriously at all. This is a common problem among young people, who think that they are the masters of the world, and when they fall, they realize that they are not the masters of the world.
They even said that Tang Jue was arguing with Terry like this, just to want to be on the starting list, and even to borrow Terry's fame to improve his own popularity!
The French media believe that Tang Jue represents the vitality of young French players, and it doesn't matter whether Tang Jue has a chance to break through Terry in the game.
In the face of criticism from the British media, Zidane stepped forward, saying to the French media: "Don is a player with a lot of potential, his speed is definitely in the top three of the players I have seen. And everyone also saw that he showed skills in the game against the Danish team, he is definitely not a striker who only has speed and no skills. Don's style of play is very similar to Ronnie's, with sharp breakthroughs and super speed. ”
"Don is only seventeen years old now, and I hope everyone will tolerate him more. I'm very optimistic about his future, he must be a great striker in the world of football in the future. ”
Before the game even started, the smell of gunpowder came out for both teams. The feud between Tang Jue and Terry was settled, and since then, the two have left a lot of topics inside and outside the arena.
In the future battles, whether it is the national team or the club, there will only be a bloody battle between the two!
At noon on June 28, the coaches of both sides announced the starting lists. The British media found that Tang Jue did not appear in the starting list, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of their mouths. Some reporters even wrote down their true thoughts at this time in their notebooks: Tang did not borrow Terry to take the position, and the court must pay attention to strength after all.
And Tang definitely expected such a result. A good performance in a game doesn't mean anything. It wasn't until much later that Domenech told Tang Jue: "A good performance in one game is not enough to gag some people's mouths in the locker room." Even if Zidane supports you now, but later? After Zidane retired? ”
"For you to walk on a wide road, you have to take it step by step and walk the path that every player has walked steadily."
There are no major changes to the starting line-ups of both sides, and all the main players play.
England's starting line-up:
Goalkeeper: Robinson
Defenders from left to right: Ashley Cole, Ferdinand, Terry Gary Neville
Midfielder: Joe Cole, Lampard, Gerrard Beckham
Forward: Owen Rooney
France's starting line-up:
Goalkeeper: Butters
Defenders from left to right: Abidal Thulam, Sañol Juriti
Midfielder: Malouda, Makelele, Zidanerotten
Forward: Henry Trezeguet
At 3 p.m. on June 28, there was no cloud over the Velodrome Stadium. French fans wore French jerseys and held small national flags as they walked to the pitch in groups. Last night there was a heavy rain, which made the air refreshing. That victory seven days ago has French fans looking forward to this match. They will be hoping that France can continue their winning streak. Defeat mighty England on your doorstep.
The start of the game was four o'clock, and at this time, the players of both teams were led by the assistant coach. Prepare for the event at the course. The fans in the stands pointed at the players on the pitch, Beckham, who is loved in other countries, was not the focus, Zidane and Tang Jue were their idols.
Anlis said to his wife beside him, "Don looks like he's in good shape today. ”
Tang Jue was doing shooting practice at this time, and he sent three balls in a row into the gate guarded by Butters. Anlis's wife held the French flag in her hand and said: "Terry is a star who has been famous for a long time. is also the top defender in the world, and it may be very difficult for Tang to break through him. ”
The war of words between the two before the game. Through the mouth of the media, let everyone know.
Anlis said with a smile: "There is no defender in this world that Don can't break through, and Terry is just a stepping stone for Tang to go to the hearts of fans in the world." He, not Don's opponent! ”
……
Outside the stadium, French fans are walking towards the pitch with confidence. This afternoon's game has nothing to do with qualifying, nothing to do with trophies, it's all about a duel between two of the world's strongest teams. It is a duel to defend the honor of national football.
On the sidelines, countless long guns and short cannons were being erected. Journalists are busy, and the match has attracted a large number of media reporters from the world, and both world-class teams are likely to appear in next year's World Cup. For many, Zidane is on the verge of retirement. It's getting to watch him play less and less.
Especially the Zinedine Zidane fans, who came to the Velodrome Stadium with reverence, the king of the ball was about to come to an end, and they wanted to cheer on Zidane's last career. It was Zidane who led French football to the top of the world!
At half past three, the players of both sides left the stadium and gave up the stadium to the fans of both sides.
……
Away team locker room.
Christian Eriksson was making the most pre-match arrangements and told Frank Lampard and Girard to freeze Zinedine Zidane, telling them that if they limited Zidane, England would be halfway there.
Eriksson turned to Terry and said, "You have to pay attention to Henry, if you can't let him run after Don comes on, this little guy is very fast." ”
Terry smiled: "Coach, don't worry, whether it's Henry or Don, they don't want to pass through me." ”
Terry really didn't take Tang Jue to heart, if you want to talk about speed, Owen's speed can also rank in the top ten in the world. He has his own set of defensive strategies for those who are fast. In the Premier League, Owen has rarely been able to get a good deal in front of Terry.
……
Home team dressing room.
Domenech looked at Zidane and said: "We have to pass the ball more on both sides, we have to make the most of the width of the court. Pull as far away as possible to make more room in the middle. ”
Zidane nodded, he didn't like to talk in the first place, and Domenech's words he could have memorized a long time ago.
Explaining the points to the players one by one, Domenech looked up at his players and said with a firm gaze: "This afternoon, we are going to give a wonderful game to the French fans at the Velodrome Stadium. ”
His voice suddenly raised: "England are a strong team, we have only one task today, and that is to beat them!" ”
If this is the Parc des Princes stadium, if it is Waid who speaks? Alilozik, then it should be Deu who led the players to shout: "Saint-Germain, victory!" ”
However, the locker room is very quiet at this time.
Zinedine Zidane was the leader of this French team, and the leader did not shout "Victory!" The other players sat quietly. Zidane glanced up and said calmly: "Brothers, this is just a game, we will show our energy and try our best to show ourselves on the court." (To be continued.) )
