This is the first time Argentina and Italy have met in the World Cup final, and the two teams have met 5 times before, of which Italy beat Argentina by 1 goal twice in a row in 78 and 82.In 74 and 86, both teams drew 1:1 in the group stage.In the semi-finals of the World Cup in 90, the two teams still played 1:1, and finally Argentina won 4:3 on penalties. As you can expect from the head-to-head record of the two teams in the World Cup, the World Cup final for France will be a close match.

Tickets for the finals are divided into 4 tiers, starting at $80 and rising at $320, $640 and $1,280. At present, even the telescope position at the top of the stands has been fried to 1,000 US dollars, and VIP tickets have been fried to 10 times, and 1,280 US dollars is basically 100,000 yuan converted into RMB. Even this is hard to come by, and every day outside the Stade de France in Paris, dozens of people can be seen surrounding a dozen people to buy a ticket. Dozens of people naturally show that many people want to buy this ticket, and more than a dozen people are because the ticket is too sought-after and too valuable, and those who have tickets in their hands are afraid of being robbed! Therefore, these people with tickets in their hands often get together from seven or eight people to a dozen people to sell tickets, and everyone's safety is also guaranteed.

However, Lee Byrne still saw two interesting news, a Japanese fan had a second-class ticket in his hand that originally cost $640, because his family was seriously ill, this guy really couldn't wait for the final three days later, so he decided to sell it for $5,000. Because of the language barrier, this guy didn't find a partner, so he was tricked into the alley by a few local blacks and ransacked, and it is said that he left a pair of underwear for this Japanese fan.

There is also a news that five fans from South Korea, four of whom have tickets to the final, although it is the cheapest, but at least you can feel the atmosphere of the highest level of world football on the spot. This last person was in a hurry without a ticket, but this guy came up with a bad idea, he found a local who sold tickets for the finals, and pulled people to find a place with few people to trade. On the other hand, he asked his four fellows to meet at this trading place, and as a result, this stick planned to do something bad with more people, of course, his friends didn't know. It turned out that this guy was really unlucky! Ran into the black eats the black, the seemingly honest local was actually deliberately pushed out by his own gang, and when the stick without a ticket was viciously preparing to rob, a dozen locals suddenly rushed out, and without saying a word, the 5 sticks were cleaned up, and the tickets of the 4 people were snatched away. You say it's a mess! Fortunately, we Chinese are not stupid, and we do not do things that lack morality, and finally did not follow the foreign phase.

The finals were delayed for 3 days because of the previous events (Volume 2, Chapter 18, mobile APP can be seen, as if the PC side is locked), and officially started at 6 pm French time on July 15th, that is, at 1 am Beijing time on the 16th.

On July 14, Li Byrne finally waited for Platini's call, and the other party only said one sentence: "Oui, Cama."

che.” Thanks to the boy who happened to be with Sophie at the time, I really don't know what this means. Platini was telling Lee Byrne that the matter was done before.

Sure enough, FIFA held a press conference that night, in addition to the final, the other two things are that the final will use Rice Sports' holographic technology, and the controversial penalty in the game will allow both teams to appeal and determine through the holographic replay. It's nothing, after all, being able to ensure the fairness of a game is something that everyone wants to see. The second thing is to set off an uproar, FIFA announced the 2002 Japan and South Korea World Cup, the Korean Football Association will be disqualified from hosting due to their illegal operation, and the remaining Japan has been determined to be insufficient to host the World Cup alone after discussion at the meeting, so FIFA will re-vote on the host country of the next World Cup on August 15, but the host country is still selected among Asian countries, and the national football associations that are willing to host the 2002 World Cup can use the next month to start preparing. Of course, FIFA also mentioned that it wants some big Asian countries to host the next World Cup, and it is best that the team of this country is also a strong team in the world.

Hertz! As soon as these words came out, basically anyone with an IQ of more than 50 knew what it meant.

After watching the press conference, the teenager immediately made a few phone calls back, and contacted Lao Cai of the Football Association, as well as the coaches who had a good relationship with him, and of course Lao Fan, this matter must be snatched down no matter what. So just in case, if necessary, you also need domestic football people to put some pressure on the Football Association.

After arranging these things, the next day Li Boen was in the mood to accept CCTV's invitation to explain the final with Zhang Lu, who flew over in a hurry, and Huang Jianxiang at the Stade de France. To say that the holographic technology after 400 years is really good, in addition to a few small programs arranged by the host to warm up before the final, in addition to the holographic projection to show the audience Argentina and Italy the way to qualify. Finally, the sun and waves rose on both sides of the field, and the fans on the east side could clearly feel the heat, while the fans on the west side bathed in the cool sea breeze and could even smell the light saltiness of the sea breeze. Then, a pampas eagle flew into the air from the eastern half, and a sea dragon emerged from under the surging waves on the western side, and finally the holographic projection on the field slowly dimmed in the collision of the eagle and the dragon's chant. The fans at the scene climaxed directly, this ticket is worth buying!

A battle of the world's highest level of conflict kicked off, and the elder Maldini returned to the traditional Italian style of play in the final, ensuring that the team could play at its best. Argentina are still the same squad that won against England in the semi-finals.

The two teams are playing back and forth. I have to say that Italy's defense is really strong, and Argentina's dangerous attack in the first 20 minutes of the first half was blocked by the opponent.

In the 9th minute of the first half, Maradona moved to the left side in front of the penalty area to open the gap, Batistuta bent his bow and arrow, and a burst shot of 197 kilometers per hour from 30 meters away went straight to the top corner of the goal, which was actually blocked by Pagliuca's extreme side save, and then the old horse's follow-up shot was shoveled out of the bottom line by another old horse in the Italian team.

At that time, Zhang Lu asked Li Bourne what he thought about the game, and when the old horse was running, the young man saw Argentina's next step, and the moment Batistuta got up, Li Bourne commented: "The advantage of its spear is all in things!" Then, when Pagliuca made an incredible save on this burst, and then Maldini made a tackle to destroy Maradona's follow-up shot, Zhang Lu and Li Boen said in unison: "Its shield is strong, and things can't be trapped!" After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, Huang Jianxiang reluctantly answered next to him: "Now the people of the whole country know that you two are educated, okay!"

Don't look at such a small paragraph, the Chinese fans in front of the TV really like it, and the result is that in addition to the good play of the national football team, this cup was later considered a great development of the Chinese football commentary career.
