Chapter 213: 06 World Cup Opens!
Amid a wave of media skepticism, the French team flew to Stuttgart on June 9. Their first match will be played at the Tgetlib Daimler Stadium against Switzerland on the 13th.
On June 9th, the World Cup officially kicked off, and the World Football Bowl gathered at the Allianz Stadium, which was full. After the opening ceremony, the opening match of the 2006 World Cup in Germany began!
Germany and Costa Rica kicked off the first match of the World Cup at the Allianz Stadium, and the young Lahm kicked off the scoring with a World Rim wave. In the absence of core player Ballack, the German team still defeated Costa Rica 4-2 in the opening game to get their World Cup trip "off to a good start".
A total of six goals were scored in the opening game, and this wonderful opening game also made people have higher expectations for the excitement of this World Cup.
An hour later, the second match of Group A began, with Ecuador beating Poland 2-0. The next day, Group B matches began, with favourites England and Paraguay beating 1-0 and Trinidad and Sweden drawing 0-0.
Group C is known as the group of death of this World Cup, bringing together the favorites Argentina and the Netherlands, plus African powerhouse Ivory Coast and Europe's Serbia and Montenegro. On June 10, the first match of Group C, between Argentina and Ivory Coast, ended the first half 2-0 thanks to two goals from Crespo and Saviola.
In the 37th minute of the second half, Drogba swept a shot from the small penalty area to help Ivory Coast close the score gap. Argentina kept the score 2-1 until the end of the game.
June 12th. Italy, who were caught in the phone gate, beat Ghana 2-0. The Italian team is slowly moving forward in a low profile.
……
With the opening of the World Cup, the attention of the media and fans is focused on the wonderful game, and the French team can finally prepare quietly for the World Cup, Domenech breathes a sigh of relief.
The hotel where the French team is staying is luxurious and romantic. It is a hotel in the shape of an old castle, more than ten kilometers from the city, and it is very quiet. Domenech hopes that the players can relieve the tension and adjust their form in such an environment.
Patrick's half-month vacation was long over. She returned to Milan with reluctance. The French team's wives followed the French team. The hotel where they stayed was five kilometres from the French team. Alice used her fame and shrewdness to become the leader of the wives group, which she led to at her leisurely pace on a tour of Stuttgart's historical sites.
Tang Jue's injury, as Xiao Feifei said, healed quickly. He was more involved in training. In training. Domenech worked hard to create the "Three Musketeers". Zidane, Henry, and Don are quickly familiar with each other's characteristics. Their tacit understanding is increasing day by day.
However, the overall condition of the French team is not very good, the veterans are not in the best condition, and the newcomers are good. But they are not the workhorse. Cisse's departure made them see the cruelty of the field, the World Cup is the player's dream field, Cisse is close at hand, and he has to leave.
In the face of the World Cup, Vieira chose to be united, and he no longer found fault in the dressing room and on the training ground. Tang Juezhi said that these are temporary, and if the team's results are not good, Vieira will be the first to jump out and blame himself. Vieira is like a king cobra, waiting for his opponent to make a mistake.
In order to ease the tension before the tournament, Domenech did not have too many restrictions on the players' nightlife, and the players could go to meet their couples in the evening. Patrick leaves, and Alice fills Tang's mind. Tang Jue experienced the wildness in Alice, who has changed since Milan won the Champions League. She wanted to hold Tang Jue tightly in the palm of her hand, so she became very active and wild.
Tang Jue seemed to have just left the gentle beach and came to the wild African savannah. Alice gave him a different style, and after fighting with Alice, Tang Jue could always get a good night's sleep. Under the nourishment of love, Alice is becoming more and more beautiful and moving, and Tang Jue is slowly recovering.
……
In the blink of an eye, it is the 13th, and the French team is about to usher in its first game. Opponents in the same group, South Korea and Togo, are scheduled for 4pm, while France and Switzerland are scheduled for 8pm. Domenech only had a training session in the morning to familiarize himself with the field, and the players were in the hotel in the afternoon to watch the South Korea and Togo matches.
A number of media outlets have analysed the two matches that started in Group G tonight. Most media outlets believe that the Asian powerhouse has a better chance of beating Togo, and Asia is on the rise, as evidenced by Japan's 2-2 draw with hosts Germany in the warm-up match.
Their focus was on France and Switzerland, who were in the same group in qualifying, with France leaving Switzerland behind in the last few games to qualify as top of the group.
The newspaper believes that France have always been a slow-burning team, just like they were in qualifying, and fans can't get their hopes up too much for this match. The biggest attraction of this game is whether Tang Jue can play. How many surprises will the "Three Musketeers" surprise fans if he plays?
With a sluggish warm-up performance and his first World Cup appearance, Domenech may not start Don't start, and France's starting forwards should be the Gemini signs of yesteryear – Thierry Henry and Trezeguet. The most likely playing time for Tang Jue should be in the second half, which is also good for him. Experiencing the World Cup on the sidelines can gradually adapt to the pressure of the World Cup.
There are four midfielders, Zidane, Makelele, and Vieira are the ironclad main players, and the other candidate may be Dosula, and Ribery, who performed well in the warm-up game.
As for the back line and goalkeepers, there should not be many changes, it will still be the same five: Sagnol, Boumson, Thuram, Gala, Butters.
Switzerland's victory over Turkey in the play-offs shows that they are not to be underestimated. In qualifying, they drew 0-0 away from France. In the second leg, Tang Jue left a deep memory on French fans. He first played a clever pass to Thierry Henry in an extremely difficult situation to help him break down the Swiss goal. He then received a clever pass from Zinedine Zidane and sent the ball into the opposition goal.
In that game, the French team won 2-0 with the wonderful performance of the front three and successfully topped the group. At that time, there was no such thing as "three musketeers", because Tang Jue had just come out, time had passed, and a short season had passed. Tang Jue has become the brightest new star.
That game was for Tang Jue. It's a great memory and we look forward to him giving us another great game tonight. For his debut in the World Cup, write a strong stroke!
The Swiss team will definitely want to be at the Tegotlieb Daimler Stadium. Avenge a two-goal defeat at home. This is the World Cup Stadium. Anything can happen. In the opening match of the 90 World Cup, the defending champion Argentina was led by the football king Maradona. actually lost 0-1 to the Cameroon team led by Uncle Mira, which caused a big upset.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the first game is always the hardest to play. We hope that the aging French team will be able to complete their first game smoothly with their rich experience in the tournament.
The special issue of the German kicker's magazine World Cup published an article: Tang ushered in the debut of the World Cup!
Don has been in a slump since winning the Champions League, without scoring a single goal in three warm-up games. In the face of his World Cup debut, what kind of form he will show is worth looking forward to. Will the superstar, who is the top scorer and the best player in Serie A and the Champions League, score on his debut as he did in Milan and France?
Did that famous law summarized by the Spanish media appear in him?
It's all going to be revealed tonight, and all we have to do is wait quietly in front of the TV.
The match was also predicted by the Spanish media, who mostly thought that the French team had little hope of winning. The headline of the newspaper Marca reads: France's first match revealed tonight!
Don's form is sluggish, and it's entirely possible that he could be dropped by Domenech. The aging French team will face the challenge of the Swiss team. Physical fitness is undoubtedly the weakness of the French team, and the veterans of the French team showed physical exhaustion in the warm-up matches. The intensity of the World Cup is greater, age is like a burden, and the burden on the French team is too heavy.
Don is Pele's favorite player, and he has not scored a goal in three warm-up games, which once again proves the 'crow's mouth' of the football king Pele.
……
In the face of most media looking down on the French team, Professor Wenger said to the media: "The media say that the French team is old, and I admit that the French midfielders are older. Age is a burden, but it is also an asset, and they have made the French team more consistent.
Don's poor performance in the warm-up match does not mean that he will be in a slump in the World Cup. He has proven himself in a number of important races. I believe that in tonight's game, he will burst out with amazing energy and let fans all over the world see his wonderful performance.
After three warm-up matches, many media outlets have reiterated France's 'lack of strikers', but let's recall who is the best striker in Europe this season? There is no doubt about Don and Henry.
Who performed best in the Champions League final? Anyone who watched that final knew that it was a match between two French strikers. Don and Thierry Henry, who both scored in the Champions League final, show that they can show their killer nature in key games.
Thierry Henry was in his prime, as evidenced by that super long run at the Bernabeu and the goal in the final. He scored four goals in the warm-up match, which shows that his form has recovered quickly, and he will definitely shine in this World Cup.
Don is the most formidable striker in football today, and if you don't believe it, you can ask Bayern, ask Barcelona. Who knocked them out?
I'm bullish on the French team! ”
Professor Arsene Wenger praised Tang Jue and Thierry Henry for cheering on the French team. Not for anything else, because he is French. The French team needs encouragement at this time, that's Wenger's opinion, and he does the same.
On the afternoon of the 13th, the match of Group G began, and the South Korean team defeated the Togo team 2-1 to usher in their first game.
At 8 p.m., the first match of the French team will begin!
Tang Jue's World Realm Cup debut is about to be revealed, how will he welcome his journey to the World Realm? (To be continued......)
