Chapter 76: Master of Art
George and others met the opponent French team when they were in the players' tunnel, because the game had not yet started, the players on both sides began to chat with each other, especially the players of the Arsenal club, five of them were Arsenal clubs, and they chatted happily with each other, and there was no fire at all that the game was about to start.
Unlike others, George did not chat with others, because George was looking at Zidane, the core of the midfield of the French team at this time, for Zidane, who was his idol in his previous life, George still couldn't believe that he actually looked at Zidane up close, and even played with him later.
Looking at Zidane, George couldn't help but sigh that this master of art on the football field has really experienced many disasters. finally entered the giant Juventus, but has been in the shadow of Deschamps, the double captain of the national team and club.
But fortunately, after the storm, there will always be a rainbow. When Deschamps left Juventus in 99, Zidane began to really release his energy, successfully provoked Juventus's offensive pillars, and started his own stage. In particular, Zidane's outstanding performance has attracted the attention of La Liga giants Real Madrid, no, this summer, Real Madrid used Genesis $64 million to bring Zidane to Spain and to the Bernabeu. From these, it can be seen how high the current Zidane is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the world's No. 1 midfielder.
seems to feel that someone is looking at him, Zidane couldn't help but turn his head to look, what appeared in front of Zidane was a handsome player, for this player, Zidane still has a little influence, it seems that his name is George, he is a Liverpool native, England's star of hope.
Thinking of this, the kind-hearted Zidane couldn't help but smile at George. Seeing Zidane greeting himself, George couldn't help but feel very excited, after all, his idol greeted him, and whoever it was, I am afraid it would not be calm.
Just as he was about to take this opportunity to walk over and chat with Zidane, the referee began to signal that the time for the players to play was almost up, and everyone was ready to enter the field.
Seeing his wish interrupted by the referee, George became dissatisfied with the referee for the first time. However, George also knew the importance of the matter, and naturally he would not be theorizing with the referee for this reason, but just followed the referee behind him with an unhappy face and walked towards the court.
At this time, the players on both sides, who were originally talking and laughing, suddenly stopped talking very tacitly, looked at their eyes in front of them, and couldn't help exuding a trace of fighting intent all over their bodies.
Seeing this situation, even George wondered why the players on both sides who just happened to be good buddies had become enemies at this moment, and the two sides had changed so quickly. But think about it, George also understands, after all, everyone is a professional player, and personal friends off the field are personal friends, and everyone is an opponent on the field, so naturally he will not be polite.
When the players from both sides walked into the stadium under the leadership of the referee, the already noisy Old Trafford stadium suddenly erupted into a burst of warm applause and cheers, for this strong dialogue, the fans have been looking forward to this strong dialogue for a long time.
There was no politeness, the players on both sides began to devote themselves to the battle after the referee whistled to signal the start of the game, and the original friendly scene could only stay in the players' tunnel, leaving only endless fighting spirit and fire on the field.
No, when Pire received a pass from Makelele and was about to make a low cross, he was hit hard by Cole, who was halfway through. You must know that both of them are teammates in the same club, and the relationship is quite good. Now on the pitch, the game has just begun, everyone is starting to play with their lives, I don't know if this situation has made Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger see it, I don't know what to think.
Pire got up from the ground and watched as Cole, who didn't even bother to pull himself, turned back to the box and joined the defense. Piret frowned, clearly feeling a little dissatisfied. But Pire, after all, is a star, and he controls his emotions very well, and at the same time, he knows that he is in the situation that Kerr has just had, and he will definitely not show mercy.
Pire's set-piece leaped high into the box, and it was clear that the ball landed in the far corner of the player, where Thierry Henry was ambushed, ready to deliver the most lethal blow at the right time.
It's a pity that Henry ran into Campbell, a teammate in the same club this time, and Campbell was very clear about Henry's danger, and he had long noticed Henry who was ambushed on the side. When Pire's ball fell, Campbell got in front of Henry and headed it out of the box.
Scholes grabbed the ball first and immediately passed it to the unguarded Beckham. Beckham looked ahead and immediately made a big foot pass to the ball and the ball flew towards Husky with precision.
Desperately pushing Desailly behind him, Husky leaped high and couldn't stop the ball himself, and with no way to stop the ball himself, Husky's header was ferried to George.
George, who got the ball, immediately began to run wildly with the ball, facing his old opponent Silvestre, without too many fancy moves, just a change of direction, and then relied on his strong body to run past Silvestre.
Seeing George's pass, Old Trafford Stadium suddenly erupted into a huge cheer, in the eyes of the fans, just now George is relying on his strong body to squeeze away Sylvester, this very manly way, whether it is a man or a woman, are very willing to see.
George, who was running wildly with the ball, suddenly felt a low pant behind him, and listening to the panting, George knew that someone was approaching him quickly. While thinking about what kind of person it was, George suddenly felt a huge force coming from his back, and at the same time, a thick foot appeared in front of him, and the inertia made George have to rush over, and as a result, he fell to the ground hard.
"Thuram!" Getting up from the ground, George looked at the person who cut off the ball at his feet, it was Thuram, who claimed to be able to prevent Ronaldo one-on-one.
Cutting off George's ball, Thuram immediately ran with the ball and finally passed to Makellele, who passed to Vieira, who finally passed the ball to Zidane, the core of the attacking organization.
If you say that Zidane has no ball, just like Zidane's character, he is very low-key, and even people don't know where Zidane is for a while, as if he has disappeared. But Zidane, who got the ball, made a huge change and became the brightest star on the pitch.
In a textbook Marseille maneuver, Zidane got past Scholes in a very elegant way. Looking at the Marseille maneuver played by Zidane, George also had to sigh, in this world, except for Zidane, I am afraid that no one can play the Marseille maneuver so well and so casually.
Although the Marseille slalom was not created by Zidane, it is true that Zidane often used the passing moves when he was in Marseille, and it can be said that the Marseille maneuver was carried forward by Zidane.
A scalpel's mid-air pass, the ball tore through the England backline, and Henry, who caught up with the ball, did not sit down to adjust and shot directly at the goal. However, he was stopped by the brave Seaman.
Pire's corner kick was deflected wide by Trezeguet, but even so, Henry's shot and Trezeguet's header shocked the fans and England players in a cold sweat.
Five minutes later, the French team that broke the ball in the midfield launched an offensive again, and the ball was finally handed to the feet of Zidane, who carried the ball, facing the two-person wall of Scholes and Gerrard, and used almost a set of juggling actions to carefully protect the ball while also approaching more than ten meters to the England penalty area.
In the end, Zidane used his own way to tell everyone why he is a master of art on the court. With Paul Scholes and Steven Gerrard in the crossing, Zidane used his heel to pass the ball to Makelele, who cut in from behind. Due to Zidane's involvement, no one noticed Makelele's forward insertion, and no one defended, and Makelele, who caught up with the ball, hit the goal directly outside the penalty area.
It's a pity that Makelele's defense is very good, and his shooting skills are miserable, and the final goal is directly missed.
But even so, Zidane's excellent performance, Keegan, who was anxious, stood on the sidelines, constantly reminding the players on the field that they must be careful of Zidane and pay attention to defense.
Keegan can not be in a hurry, it was Makelele who just shot the goal, if it were replaced by Pire, Henry, or Trezeguet, I am afraid that the final situation will be completely different. What's more, now Zidane's form has come up, and the game has only started for less than twenty minutes, and everyone knows that a world-class midfielder like Zidane will definitely be able to pass Henry and Trezeguet many times like a scalpel in so much time left. Henry and Trezeguet are also world-class strikers, as long as Zidane's form comes up and he keeps delivering shells, even if the two are in poor form, I am afraid they will be able to score a few goals.
