Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 93 Big Names Fans
The stands of the Stade de France were already full of fans, and the game was in full swing, with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Prime Minister Fillon and other dignitaries, superstars Zinedine Zidane and Barthez all present to watch the game. The French fans in blue kept chanting 'allezlesbleus!' (Blues rush!) ), while the Irish fans in white jerseys chanted 'go, go, theboysingreen'. French and English alternately intertwined, lively like a duet, like a symphony.
Li Huan and Ellijie sat in the ordinary stands in a very comfortable position to watch the game, which Li Huan bought from the scalpers at a high price, the tickets for this game were sold out within 3 hours, and the French official in order to control the number of Irish fans, online ticket sales and telephone ticket sales have been cancelled, and it is difficult to find a ticket in France. Li Huan didn't want Wenger and those French teammates to know his whereabouts, so he had to spend money to be slaughtered. Two ordinary tickets with a good position cost him 2,000 euros, if it weren't for accompanying Ellie, Li Huan would definitely not have come to see it. This amount of money is nothing, but he already knows the result of this game, and he is not in the mood to watch the live broadcast at night.
In this game, although the French team won away, they only scored one goal, so they played very nervously. They are well aware that if they concede a goal, the game will be dragged to extra time. The Irish, who are at a disadvantage, can only give it a go, and the minimum goal is to fight for extra time. Under the guidance of Italian coach Trapattoni, they played very steadily, so that the French team's attack could only scratch the itch, and Ireland's counterattack was to the point, making France's defense full of holes, and finally in the 32nd minute, Irishman Duff made a clever assist, and their ace Robbie Keane made it all in one fell swoop, and the aggregate score was tied at 1:1.
There was a dead silence for the French fans, not a single person made a sound, except for the Irish cheers echoing over the Stade de France.
Li Huan took the disappointed Ellie Jie in his arms and comforted: "Don't worry, the game is not over yet, believe in your compatriots, they will score a goal." ”
Li Huan used the word "play", instead of the verbs of hitting, kicking, and attacking, but Ellie Jie was disappointed and didn't notice it, and even if she did, she could only think that Li Huan was not familiar with English. She gently leaned her face on Li Huan's broad chest and said, "Can it really be equalized?" ”
"Trust me, for sure." Li Huan gently stroked Ellie's soft back, feeling the ** feeling that this body brought to her half an hour ago, the woman Li Huan has experienced a lot, but no woman has ever given Li Huan and Elliejie that feeling in bed, women are made of water, Li Huan really understands the meaning of this sentence this time, of course, it is not purely water, but that Ellie's body is like water, and it is soft as if it has melted, so that men would rather die of exhaustion.
Ellie raised her head and said, "I believe in you." ”
Li Huan smiled and said, "You should believe in your national team." Their performance is still okay. ”
Before Li Huan's words fell, the big screen just gave the camera to Domenech, the head coach of the French team, and the French fans in the audience booed at the same time, Ellie Jie quietly slipped her glasses down, staring at Li Huan with brown eyes with a smile, which made Li Huan a little embarrassed, and said: "Domenech's command has some problems, the selection and tactical arrangements are not as good as Professor Wenger, and the players' individual performance can be scored." ”
Ellijie pushed her glasses up again, and said dissatisfiedly: "In the battle of life and death, the president and the prime minister are here, and the performance of passing is failing." ”
Li Huan smiled and said: "Maybe it's too nervous, football, it's just a game, watching the game is mainly to relax and entertain yourself, don't take it too seriously." ”
Ellijie shook her head and said, "This mentality of yours is not something that ordinary players and fans can do. You're a big player."
Li Huan smiled and said, "I'm a big-name fan now." ”
The French did not score until the end of the 90th minute, and the game had to go into extra time, at which point the French realised that they would be finished with the same play as before, so they pressed the Irishman's frantic attack, and the game became more and more intense.
Alijie is now skeptical of Li Huan's prediction, and said, "Do we still have time to score?" It's a problem to drag a penalty and we're not good at taking penalties. ”
Li Huan said confidently: "Don't worry, you won't enter overtime." ”
Ellijie looked at the Irishman's unusually calm play on the field, the French team's attack could not break through the Irish defense at all, and there was no sign of scoring at all.
But at this time, Malouda's free kick was long pass, Henry answered in the penalty area, picked up Galla in front of the goalkeeper, and Galla headed into the empty net.
The Stade de France, which can accommodate 80,000 people, suddenly boiled, and more than 70,000 fans shouted 'Long live France' and jumped, and Ellijie next to Li Huan also jumped up and chanted in French with the fans, extremely emotional. Only Li Huan was still sitting there, looking meaningfully at the French and Irish players in the stadium.
All the Irish players on the field ran in front of the referee, and even the goalkeeper Givens ran over, excitedly signaling to the referee that Henry had handballed the ball and that Gala was offside, but the referee was unmoved and insisted that the goal was valid.
Although Ellie Jie's position was very good, she didn't see the handball clearly, nor did she see that Gala was offside, she saw that the Irish players and fans were so excited and angry, and said with a little weakness: "Lee, is this handball a handball?" ”
Li Huan smiled bitterly and said, "Let's take a look at the slow-motion playback in a while." ”
After the slow motion came out, the noisy Stade de France fell silent, no one celebrated Galla's goal anymore, they all saw Henry use his hand of God to complete the assist, Galla was indeed suspected of offside, the French fans were ashamed of such a goal, and the proud French fans did not have the face to applaud such a goal.
Ellie Jie stood up silently, groaned for a while, and said to Li Huan: "Let's go, when the game is over, there are too many people leaving." ”
Li Huan also stood up, put his arm around Ellijie's shoulder, and said: "It's very common in the game, it's just that this game is too important, your fans are better than the players, France, I am impressed." ”
Ellijie's eyes brightened suddenly, and she quietly clasped her five slender and slender fingers with Li Huan's fingers, and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a French dinner." ”
Li Huan smiled slightly and said in Ellie's ear: "I prefer French wet kisses." ”
"Nasty!" Ellijie kicked Li Huan with her black pony boots, and the two walked side by side to the sidelines.
After the World Cup qualifying play-offs, Thierry Henry's handball became the most controversial handball in football history after Maradona, the hand of God that destroyed the Irishman's years-long efforts. In order to vent its dissatisfaction, Ireland did not hesitate to sue FIFA repeatedly, and tried their best to get the opportunity to replay, but unfortunately it was in vain! Under pressure, French President Nicolas Sarkozy had to make a presentation to Irish Prime Minister Brian Sarkozy on the sidelines of the EU summit. Cowan apologized.
The British newspaper The Times directly referred to Henry as a "degenerate French icon", saying that "the former Arsenal striker said he was willing to play a replay because he knew it couldn't happen". Because of this play-off, even Arsenal, which is dominated by the French gang, has been criticized by the media and fans in the British Isles, and Henry's mentor Arsene Wenger is worried about anti-Arsenal sentiment in the Premier League, and has to say in an interview with British reporters, "We relied on someone's handball and the referee's misjudgment to advance." ”
Arsene Wenger's anti-Arsenal sentiment did not appear, but the French players who participated in the weekend's life-and-death battle were all mentally exhausted, in the 13th round of the away challenge to the black cat Sunderland, the referee also took special care of Arsenal, which was only suspected of handball and fake fall was also sentenced to handball, but in the end, Arsenal still reversed Sunderland 2:1 away with goals from Li Huan and Van Persie, and won the 20th consecutive game of the season. The league win also reached 12. However, with Chelsea and Manchester United also victorious, the score of the winning team is still not open.
After the end of the 13th round of the league, Arsenal still has a Champions League group stage, but for Arsenal, who have no desire, this Champions League group stage can only be used as a training match, their focus is on the 14th round and Chelsea's London derby, this battle for the top spot is known as a game that determines the trend of winning the championship this season, after this battle of Tianwang Mountain, Arsenal's future is bright, the league championship basically got an ear, if it fails, the road behind will be much more dangerous, After all, Arsenal's bench strength is the weakest of the Premier League's top four.
In the 5th round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Arsenal played at home against the standard column, Arsenal had no desire, and the lineup of the pure substitute plus the youth team was discharged, none of the main players played, Li Huan, Fabregas, Van Persie and others appeared in the stands, and the standard column said that there was still hope of qualifying, and sent a full main lineup, hoping to take the opportunity to win a victory, but in the end, Arsenal's midfielder Merida scored a single goal, Sagna World Wave expanded the score, Arsenal beat Standard Lie 2-0, Won €600,000 in prize money, all of which was awarded to the whole team by Professor Arsene Wenger. In the other match of Group F, the defending champion Hoffenheim finally came out of his way at home, winning 2:0 against Olympiacos, Hoffenheim and Olympiacos both have six points, which team can qualify depends on the results of the final round, and the performance of Arsenal, who won the group, will determine who is second in the group.
