Chapter 762: All in one
"Ladies and gentlemen, you're watching the Euro 2004 final Portugal vs France. The two sides went into extra time with a score of 2-2. β
'France had already used up their substitutions, and now Portugal have used up their substitutions, with Quaresma coming on for Figo and Rui Costa for Viana.
"The French team is very aggressive."
"The French team continued to fight in the midfield."
"Zidane is in great form, he keeps possession of the ball and helps France stabilize the ball."
In the first ten minutes of extra time, Zidane was mentioned the most in the commentary.
His play was too eye-catching.
Even more highlights than his regular time play.
On the sidelines, Trigra looked at Zidane's real-time data and was a little excited: "Sure enough, Zidane started!" Hold on, it's fast, it's really fast now! β
As the world's No. 1 man with the highest demand for ball quotient, Zidane's brain is very useful.
This kind of player can even control the whole game, let alone himself?
He knows exactly how many minutes he can contribute to the team.
Know exactly how many minutes you can stay at your peak.
Most extra-time games are played in two situations, either no one scores, or one side scores a lot.
The former is that the midfield cores of both sides are "out of power".
The latter is the core of one of the parties that is out of power.
What?
Electricity all the time?
One hundred and twenty minutes of the game, the core of the midfield is all at a high level?
Even Zinedine Zidane, who is ten years younger, and Deng Kai today, can't do that.
After all, the European Championship final is not just one game, there are six games ahead, an average of one every two or three days, and the game load is quite large.
And that's right on the heels of last season.
League, Champions League, domestic cups, etc., in less than a month, there will be preparations for the European Cup...... I don't know if there is half a month for me to really rest.
Theoretically, a core player can play a full 120 minutes.
But in reality, they can't.
Zidane's current explosion only proves one thing.
He knew he was running out.
He's going to start gambling.
To fully release his energy in a short period of time, and then hand over the game to his teammates.
That's something he should have stressed with the rest of his team-mates.
Therefore, the French team was more active overall in the first ten minutes of extra time.
Everyone is cooperating with Zidane.
The ninety-ninth minute was also the ninth minute of the French team's high-speed operation.
Zinedine Zidane maneuvered in Marseille behind halfway and got past Deng Kai, who pounced from the side and tried to steal.
Zinedine Zidane began to push.
Deng Kai chased back behind Zidane.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, Zidane suddenly sent a pass.
Ribery, who cut inside without the ball on the right, managed to catch the ball and, after a few dribbling movements, stuffed the ball to Vieira, who went down the right flank.
Don't look at Vieira as a midfielder, and he is tall, he looks like a pure defensive player.
But in fact, Vieira is a standard B2B with strong offensive attributes.
Insertion, long-range shots, crosses are all very good, it just depends on whether he wants to use them or not.
Ribery continued to cut forward after the ball, trying to grab the front point and get a header back.
However, Kostiani stuck Ribery's route and knocked him over.
The referee kept his whistle in his mouth, but made an offensive move in his hand.
Patrick Vieira, who was on the wing, saw everything in his eyes and temporarily changed the cross.
Bang!
Patrick Vieira crosses.
Wiltord overrun.
Henry was a few lateral distances away from the football landing point.
But it doesn't matter.
A bald head burrows into the bottom of the frame.
Then take a leap to the top of the ball with a soccer ball!
Swish!
Football breaks through Baia's ten-finger barrier.
βGOALοΌβ
"Lore! France leads Portugal 3-2! β
"Zidane scored twice!"
"Zinedine Zidane! The invincible Zidane! The greatest star in the history of the French team! β
"Deng Kai took away the title of world number one and world number one midfielder from him, but now, he is going to take away the Delaunay Cup from Deng Kai!"
"The Gallic rooster has pierced the Legion of the Five Shields!"
"Zidane gave Portugal a fatal blow!"
After the goal, the players of the French team celebrated wildly.
But Zidane, as the hero of the goal, is quite calm, and in the eyes of the outside world, this is the domineering of the king.
Even if half a hand has touched the European Cup trophy, even if Zidane is the biggest contributor to the victory of the French team, even if he finishes the game with his own hands, he doesn't even bother to celebrate!
It's just because he has owned all the trophies.
For winning championships, already get used to it!
But the truth is...... Zidane can't afford to waste a drop of energy.
After nine minutes of furious attack, this goal was significant for Zidane.
Because once ten minutes have passed and the French team cannot score, they will fully shrink the defense, completely abandon the attack, and then drag the game into a penalty shoot-out and resign themselves to fate.
Once more than ten minutes have passed, Zidane's physical strength is not enough to support the French team's attack, and he can't even help the team.
His physicality, every point was arranged, and there really wasn't any extra room left for the celebration.
"Next, we just need to defend well, we have to defend well." Zidane took advantage of everyone's presence and hurriedly confirmed with everyone that the French team would switch from offense to defense next.
On the Portuguese side, Deng Kai also made a gesture to his teammates and Trigra.
The whole team nodded.
β¦β¦
In the 100th minute, Portugal kicked off.
Just thirty seconds later, Deco slotted in and gave a huge pass down the left wing.
Deng Kai runs 100 meters on the side.
Although he was unable to catch up with the football due to Thuram's interference, Thuram experienced noticeable retching after the run.
He almost threw up.
The one hundred and third minute.
Deng Kai once again dribbled the ball on the wing and burst into Thuram.
Thuram parried again and again, but his pace became more and more chaotic, and he was finally directly shaken down by Deng Kai.
Deng Kai plucks the ball and cuts inside.
Bang!
Ribery's flying tackle, who was involved in the return defense, destroyed the ball that rolled out.
Ribery then stayed directly in the French half and did not travel to the Portuguese half.
The one hundred and fourth minute.
Costinha passes the ball to Dunkai, who asks for the ball at the halfway line.
Ribery hurried over to harass.
However, Deng Kai flicked the ball backwards with the outside of his left foot, turned around and drilled over the right side.
The back man has the ball!
Ribery pulled Deng Kai for the first time.
But Dunkai was nearly two laps bigger than him, and Ribery couldn't pull it at all.
By the time Ribery finished turning, he was already half a body behind Dunkay.
In the next distance, Deng Kai accelerated with the ball, and the distance between him and Ribery became bigger and bigger.
