Chapter 277: Advance to the Finals!

There are no words to describe Ribery's mood at this time, he only feels that he is the happiest person in the world. Scoring in the World Cup for the first time is not something most players can do. And this goal came in the crucial semi-finals!

The French players on and off the field tightly surrounded Tang Jue and Ribery in the middle, and they shouted comfortably and happily. French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre de Villepin, who was sitting in the VIP seat, hugged and congratulated Platini next to him. Not far away, the famous players of French football waved their fists excitedly. On the other side, the Portuguese players hung their heads in frustration.

At this time, the whole land of Portugal fell into a deathly silence.

ESPN said: "In the second half, Ribery changed his style of play and cut inside after breaking down the wing. Prior to this goal, he had already completed two shots on goal in this way. Ribery's change did not attract the attention of the Portuguese players, who still focused their attention on Ribery's wide breakthrough, and at the moment, they swallowed their bitter fruit. ”

German national television said: "In the past, at such critical moments, it was Don who stood up. In this game, Don sat on the bench and Ribery stepped up. The world of football belongs to young people, and Franck Franck Ribery, who is called the 'successor of Zidane' by French fans, has proven himself in this World Cup. Now he has proved his worth once again with a goal in the semi-finals. ”

"A few days ago, it was rumored that Bayern had made an offer to Marseille in the hope of bringing in the French winger next season. The 28 million offer tempted Marseille. I think Bayern president Rummenigge should have a headache by now after Franck Ribery scored that valuable goal. Marseille will definitely raise the price. ”

"In addition, to score in such an important game as the semi-finals, the European giants will definitely not let Bayern win easily. Real Madrid need a new central midfield after Zinedine Zidane's departure, and Ribery is undoubtedly a good candidate. Of course, a money-burning team like Chelsea, they will also come forward to gamble. ”

"This goal will inevitably affect Ribery's transfer this summer. The giants have opened their arms to him! ”

The famous football commentator of France Télévision, Henrik? Hilario said excitedly: "Without Don, another young man from the French team stepped up. Ribery is undoubtedly great. He is the heart of France's midfield for the next decade! ”

"This ball will definitely make his path to the national team smoother. We have to admire Domenech's employment. Since the start of this World Cup, he has been putting Ribery in the main lineup. After a few games, he began to shine and is now the team's goal hero! ”

……

Before the game restarts. Scolari replaced Pauletta with Simao. He played the best card in his hand. The game resumes. With the score behind, Portugal launched a ferocious attack on the French team. In the twenty-second minute of the second half, Figo used his skillful skills. Kicking the ball into the box on the wing, the tall Thuram pushed the ball straight out of the box to defuse the attack.

In the 27th minute, Ronaldo broke through Galla with the ball and advanced into the French penalty area. Cristiano Ronaldo was about to shoot with his feet, but Vieira, who was making up for the defense, accurately shoveled the football out of the bottom line. The French midfielder relied on his experience to play against a ferocious Portugal side. France knew how to play with a lead and they almost all returned to their own half.

The French players had a high degree of tactical unity and wanted to keep the score until the end of the game. So they built an iron wall in front of their goal.

Don never paid attention to these things and focused on warming up. French TV commentator, Henrique? Hilario said: "Leading 1-0, France have never lost to an opponent in this kind of score in almost a decade. Now all the French team has to do is rely on their experience to stubbornly resist Portugal's attack. We believe that victory belongs to France! ”

As the game time wore on, the Portuguese players became more and more irritable. Cristiano Ronaldo lost the ball under the siege of Vieira and Gala, and he pushed Vieira in anger. An argument ensued, and the referee had to settle the altercation with a yellow card.

Don never made the game, and the assistant coach called him back to the bench. Don didn't ask why, knowing that with a 1-0 lead, Domenech was thinking about how to keep the score until the end of the game. The French team has the ability to do that.

In the 37th minute of the second half, Portugal had a good chance to score. Deco made a scalpel-like pass outside the penalty area, penetrating the entire French team's defense, and Simao, who had just come on the field, arrived and the crisis appeared!

Butters had his brightest moment of the game, as he was like a hyena with a keen sense of smell, saving to his right side the moment Simão shot. The ball goes through his fingertips and rolls out of the baseline!

The former butter hand showed great competitive form when he played against Brazil. At the moment, he is the most loyal defender of the goal.

Ten minutes into the game, the air at the Allianz Arena was about to freeze. French fans want the game time to end quickly, and Portugal fans want the game time to continue indefinitely until Portugal scores. Domenech began to waste time with substitutions, first replacing goal-scorer Franck Ribery with Govu. Ribery won the applause of all the fans in the stadium.

Two minutes later, he brought on teenager Saha for Thierry Henry. With Saha on the field, Tang Juezhi said that he had no chance to play in this game. Looking at his teammates who were fighting the field, Tang Jue shook his head in his heart and thought to himself: I can't have this kind of surprise in the future, I didn't train with my teammates, and the coach didn't believe that his injury was completely healed.

At the end of regular time, the fourth official held up an electronic display on the sidelines for three minutes of stoppage time!

In three minutes, France will reach the final of the World Cup for the first time since '98. The hearts of the French fans inside and outside the stadium were a little nervous and a little careful, and some fans began to pray to God: "Oh God! Don't let the unexpected happen! ”

"Oh God! Let the French team reach the final! ”

"Oh God! As long as the French team reaches the final, I will be three months. No, don't touch a woman for three weeks! ”

……

Portugal are still desperate, but they are in a hurry and cannot tear apart the stubborn French defence. Despair slowly crawled out of my heart, like mushrooms after a rain, growing rapidly. In the second minute of stoppage time, the ball at Deco's feet was tackled by Vieira and Zinedine Zidane. In desperation, Deco slammed Vieira down on the turf.

Red!

The referee pulled out the first and only red card of the game. The red card signaled that he would not be able to play in the next game, and Deco said goodbye to his World Cup journey ahead of schedule. With the end of Deco. The Portuguese players know that the tide is over.

A minute later. The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!

The famous football commentator of France Télévision, Henrik? Hilario shouted, "It's over!" The French team is in the final! Long live the great France! ”

"France extended their lead and won the game!"

ESPN said: "As the referee's whistle blew at the end of the match, it was announced that France had reached the World Cup final for the second time. Portugal's golden generation failed to set new milestones. Eight years ago. France reached the World Cup for the first time. defeated Ronaldo's Brazil. Four days later. Can France make another brilliant comeback and lift the Hercules Cup for the second time with a win over Italy, who are mired in the phone? ”

The French players on the bench were like water pulling the floodgates open. Emerge on the field and instantly overwhelm the players of the game. On the south side of the Allianz Stadium, a majestic Marseillaise was sung, and the song was full of joy and pride!

Unlike the joy and pride of the French team, Portugal is in a state of grief. Ronaldo kicked helplessly on the turf and cried bitterly, and Deco, who was sitting in the locker room at the moment, also lowered his head and silently left tears. Many Portuguese players cried, and Figo wiped away his tears and hugged Zidane and sent his blessings.

After Zidane and Figo exchanged jerseys, they silently patted him on the shoulder. There are people on the pitch who are proud, and there are people who are frustrated, this is an eternal law. Tonight belonged to the French team, who used their experience and strength to have the best laugh and advance to the final.

Tang Jue walked up to Ronaldo, patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's a pity to miss tonight, I look forward to the first real showdown between us." ”

Ronaldo stopped crying, stood up and looked at Tang Jue, wiped away his tears, exhaled a long breath and said: "Yes, our duel has just begun, I expect our first real duel!" ”

Ronaldo's voice was a little choked, but his words were very firm. The two fateful opponents, sympathetic to each other, have been looking forward to tonight's showdown for a long time, but unfortunately the opportunity did not come and missed the first meeting between the two. In Ronaldo's mind, the victory over Tang Jue can be compared to the victory in the game.

Ribery became famous, and countless cameras and cameras were pointed at him. Perhaps happiness and success came too quickly, and Ribery in front of the camera seemed a little restrained. Thuram spotted Ribery's predicament and pulled him back to his teammates.

The Allianz Arena has become a blue-and-white world, and the French fans are not leaving, they are waiting for the heroes. Zinedine Zidane led his team-mates to the South Stand and bowed to them hand in hand. The fans went crazy, and countless people were heartbroken and howled with pride. Countless happy saliva and tears are flying!

……

The players returned to the dressing room with the joy of victory, and the dressing room became lively, and everyone excitedly celebrated each other to advance to the final. A short time later, a big man in a suit and leather shoes arrived, and behind him was Platini. Platini warmly hugged Zidane and other players and congratulated him.

This big man in a suit and leather shoes is none other than French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre de Villepin. He shook hands with all the team members one by one. When he shook hands with Tang Jue, De Villepin said with a smile: "When I saw you warming up, I thought I could see you playing." ”

Tang Jue said with a smile: "I must be on the court in the final!" ”

De Villepin nodded and said, "I will definitely be there to cheer for you in the final!" ”

Holding Zidane's hand, De Villepin shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't think you are old, you can still play football for a few years." ”

Zidane shook his head and said, "I'm too old to run." He pointed at Tang Jue and Ribery and said: "They will not let France down, the future belongs to them!" ”

Standing in the middle of the locker room, de Villepin said loudly: "On the way to the locker room, President Chirac called me to tell everyone that he was proud of your performance tonight!" ”

Before the applause rang out, he continued: "He said that he will definitely come to the scene during the final to cheer for everyone!" ”

Thunderous applause in the locker room!

"Congratulations on a great game and a great victory!"

"Each and every one of you is a hero to the French people!" (To be continued......)
