Chapter 24: Self-reliance!
("Fans, the game between France and Ireland is about to begin. The players on both sides are already in their place. Ireland is wearing green home match uniforms and France is wearing white away match uniforms.
The French team's formation is 4312, the goalkeeper is Kupet, the four defenders are Sanior, Boomsun, Touram, Gala, the four midfielders are Dorasu, Vieira, Marklele, Zidane, and the two forwards are Don and Henry."
"Dorasus replaced Maluda in this game, and the other positions have not changed, just like the last big victory over the Faroe Islands.
Let’s now introduce the Irish lineup, which is 442.
Goalkeeper: Kenny, from Sheffield United, and the four defenders are: Melberry, from Leicester, Cunningham, from Birmingham, Dunn, from Manchester City, O'Shea, from Manchester United;
Four midfielders: Reed, from Tottenham Hotspur, Roy Keane, from Manchester United, Kilbany, from Everton, Duff, from Chelsea:
Two strikers: Robbie Keane, from Tottenham Hotspur, Elliott, from Sunderland."
Henrik Hilario, a famous football commentator at France TV, was vigorously introducing the starters of both sides. Far from Lyon, France, Tang Yuantian's hotel was full of people. The man in glasses bet with the fat man around him: "I bet that Tang can score a goal."
The fat man had to say helplessly: "Then I have to bet he can score two goals."
The man in glasses smiled and said, "You cunning guy, you should bet that he can't score."
The fat man said angrily: "Why? You should be the cunning person. He scored three in the last game, and it was too easy to score one goal in this game."
The man in glasses thought it made sense. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay!"
Tang Yuantian's hotel has become the stronghold for Chinese students from the Second University of Lyon to watch Tang Jue's competition. Tang Yuantian and his wife were very proud of this. At this time, the two were sitting together, watching TV.
...
Tang Jue stood outside the center circle, looking at Robbie Keane and Elliott who were about to serve at the midpoint, and thought to himself: "The opponent in the last game was too weak, and scoring three goals is nothing. You must score a goal in this game and you must prove yourself!"
"Beep!" The referee whistled. The game officially began!
"The Irish striker passed the ball to the backcourt. The game officially began. The importance of this game to the French team is self-evident. Only by winning this game can they take the initiative. Ireland knocked the ball in the backcourt and fought at home. They waited for it. They seemed very calm."
Henrik Hilario's voice came out of the TV.
Ireland did not rush to attack at the beginning of the game. Tang Jue and Henry rushed through the half and were in the frontcourt to perform harassing defense. They were like two waves in the green ocean, failing to cause any waves.
After a brief backcourt pass, Ireland transferred the ball to the frontcourt and began to attack. The Irish team wearing a green jersey was like a huge green wave, and began to pounce fiercely on the French team's backcourt.
The two world-class midfielders of the French team, Marklele and Vieira, are being tested. They have serious expressions and tightly guard their hinterland, so that Ireland will never penetrate from the hinterland into the penalty area.
Seeing that he could not find a breakthrough from the opponent's hinterland, Ireland changed the attack direction and placed the main attack direction on the right side of the French team.
The Irish right forward is Chelsea's Duff, who is the Irish right-hand knife.
The side attack is a common tactical routine in Ireland. Their tactical style has been used for many years, and they are raised and beaten high. Duff is extremely active, and he cooperates with Kilbany. In the seventh minute, Duff cooperates with Kilbany. Duff takes a few steps and crosses Gala's side and gets the ball at the sideline.
After getting the ball, Duff quickly went down the bottom and Gala tried his best to catch up. Five meters away from the bottom line, Duff passed the ball into the penalty area with one kick.
Irish fans seemed to see hope for a goal, and they stared at it with their breath.
The two Irish strikers who were ambushing in the penalty area both jumped high, trying to compete for the soccer ball that was flying high. Tulam and Boomsun, beside them, also jumped up.
Football is like a pearl, and the four of them are like four dragons, four dragons playing with pearls!
"Bang!" Eliot beat Boomson to the football. The football changed direction and flew towards the center of the goal.
Veteran Kupei has been on the verge of a high-profile shot. Facing such a header at such a very positive angle, it is not difficult for him. Kupei stretched out his arm and hugged the ball firmly in his arms.
Erriot's header kicked off the Ireland's offense, and there was applause in the stands. Irish fans were applauding Erriot's header, and French fans were applauding Coupe's steady performance.
Roy Keane followed Zidane closely, following the arrangements of head coach Carl to freeze the French offensive core.
After French players got the ball in the middle and backcourt, their first task was to pass the ball to Zidane. Under Roy's close defense, Zidane did not perform well at the beginning of the game. He dribbled the ball horizontally and was unable to send a straight pass to the forward line.
Both sides were in a stalemate, and Tang Jue and Henry, who could not get the ball, seemed very lonely in the frontcourt. Henry began to retreat, and he wanted to get the ball, but Tang Jue continued to push the opponent's back line.
In the thirteenth minute, Henry took the ball in the opponent's hinterland, and he tried to use a breakthrough to tear open the Irish defense line. Henry walked forward with difficulty. Seven meters in front of the penalty area, he suddenly dribbled the ball horizontally, flashed the angle of the shot, and shot a long shot!
This was the first shot of the French team in this game. Irish goalkeeper Kenny used force on the outside of his right foot and flew to his right.
His hand failed to touch the football, but the football flew out of the bottom line from five centimeters outside the post.
The Irish fans seemed to have died once. They looked at the football flying out of the bottom line, exhaled a long breath, and then clapped desperately, trying to drive out the fear in their hearts.
Henry hugged his head in pain, Domeneck sighed. Zidane applauded Henry and encouraged him.
Ireland kept kicking from the wing and bombing the French team's goal with high altitude balls. Cupey used his steady performance to keep the football out again and again. Domeneck had a hint of anxiety on his face, and Zidane was defended by Roy Keane, but he still had no excellent performance.
Another player he relies on is Tang Jue, who has not shot yet.
Since you want to defeat Ireland, you have to make some achievements in the offense. Zidane cannot play out, who can solve the battle?
French fans and Domeneck have different views. They think Zidane is the kind of player who can solve the opponent in one second. As long as he is given an open space, he will pass a deadly ball at any time to help the team win.
The Lion King is always napping. What's more, Roy Keane is a very difficult guy. They are expecting Roy Keane to make a mistake, and Zidane's inspiration appears!
Ireland took advantage of its home court and physical strength to evenly match the French team. For both sides, this is a key game. Everyone wants to win the final victory.
The midfield became the most fierce place for competition. The scene of people turning up and down constantly appeared. In the 35th minute, when Vieira was competing for the header with Reed, Reed's elbow hit the corner of his eyebrows hard, and Vieira was bleeding!
Vieira returned to the court after a simple process on the sidelines.
bloody battle!
"Viela paid blood for this game. He is a strong soldier." Henrik Hilario said: "From the situation between the two sides, the two sides were evenly divided in the first half. Now one person needs to break this balance and break the deadlock between the two sides!"
"Who can break this balance? Zidane, Henry, or Don?"
"Zidane was frozen, Henry is still trying, Don't performs in a sluggish manner and has not shot until now. Who will be the savior of the French team?"
Listening to Henrik Hilario's commentary, the atmosphere at Tang Yuantian Hotel was a bit solemn. They came to cheer for Tang Jue, but until now, Tang Jue has not shot at once.
...
Roten, who sat on the bench until the reason, many people in the French team were dissatisfied with Don Jue. Now Zidane has been frozen by Roy Keane. Without Zidane's pass, Don Jue is undoubtedly lonely.
Tang Jue, who was standing on the court, also learned the reason after Xiao Feifei's analysis. Those people definitely wanted to see his jokes. He was competing with Henry in the locker room for a position, and they wanted to support Henry in this way.
Since he cannot get the support of his teammates, he can only rely on himself. Tang Jue has also been relying on himself in previous games, and speed is his weapon!
Tang Jue moved his position backwards. The French team's tactics were basically initiated from the ground and rarely had long passes. Now he couldn't get the ball here, so he had to retreat. Henry had done this a long time ago, so he had three shots.
Tang Jue retreated his position to the other party's hinterland, and he wanted to be self-reliant!
For such a key game, every player's concentration reaches the highest level. They rarely make mistakes in passing. After Tang Jue retreated, he never found an opportunity to steal the ball halfway.
Tang Jue was criticized in the locker room when he was traveling to the United States. At that time, he was a recruit from Milan and he was in a transformation. He faced the criticism silently and criticized.
But now it is different. It is not that he doesn't work hard, but that some people want to see his jokes. Thinking of the little abacus in the hearts of those guys, thinking of the open and secret arrows in the locker room during the halftime break, thinking of those ugly faces and vicious words. Tang Jue made a decision!
The world is indeed dangerous!
Tang Jue said viciously in his heart: "Little Feifei, turn on all your abilities!"
"Master! OK!"
Time is still Tang Jue's biggest enemy, because at this time, there are only five minutes before the end of the first half. He must make a difference within these five minutes to fight back against those guys who had been secretly sharpening their guns.
The environment in front of Tang Jue suddenly changed. Each player had several lines of different thicknesses and a red line was extremely eye-catching. It was the running trajectory of the football. Another thick red line was constantly adjusting the direction. This was the running route Xiao Feifei calculated for him!
"Now it's only one minute before the first half. The score between the two sides is still zero to zero, and no one can break the balance. The French team must make adjustments in the second half, tactical adjustments, and lineup adjustments. Replace those mediocre players, such as the forward line, should be adjusted."
As soon as Henrik Hillaryo finished speaking, the man in glasses became angry. He said viciously: "Bad! Is anyone passing the ball to Tang Jue? Is there any? Adjustment, it should be those midfielders!"
At this moment, Xiao Feifei's voice suddenly rang in Tang Jue's mind: "Master! The opportunity is here!"
Chapter completed!
