Chapter 297: The impact of Zidane's departure!
Sky TV said: "Zidane used to be high up, sitting on the throne and overlooking the field. Tonight, he cemented his position with a 'spoon' penalty. But he crashed headlong into Materazzi, fell from his throne, and became a sinner. ”
Domenech, who was standing in the command area, was stunned, while Lippi, who was not far from him, had joy in his eyes. At half-time, he reminded his players to use words against Thierry Henry and Zinedine Zidane. Materazzi immediately devised a plan, first using force to get Henry off the pitch, and then physically attacking Zidane, which also caused him to leave the pitch.
Lippi pushed his eyes and secretly rejoiced in his heart: the formidable "three musketeers" of the French team, leaving two, Domenech, see what else you can do to fight me!
With Zidane leaving, the game was going on, and Domenech's assistant felt it was time to bring him back to reality, so he left the bench and pushed Domenech. Returning to reality, Domenech realized that he had lost his temper, exhaled a long breath, and his brain was racing rapidly. He had too many things to think about, first of all, the next game strategy, then to determine who would control the team's tempo, and then who would pass the ball to Tang......
Sky TV analyzed Zidane's "collision" incident: "Zidane is the spiritual leader of the French team, the engine of the midfield of the French team, and the controller of the rhythm. The impact of his departure on the French team is immeasurable. From a technical and tactical point of view, France's attack will be in trouble, with no one to send Don a crucial pass, and it will be difficult for France to break down the Italian goal. ”
"With no one in control of the pace of the game, France could drop a notch. Then the French team will be tactically behind the Italians. ”
"Spiritually. The losses of the French team were even greater. With Zidane leaving, the French team could have a nervous breakdown. The mental blow is the most deadly! ”
ESPN said: "Without Zidane's clever pass, France would have struggled to overcome Italy's solid defence. With only about ten minutes to go, there is a risk that the game will go to extra-time, where the Italian's physical superiority will come to the fore. In addition, Italy played extra time in the semi-finals, while France did not, and the Italians had more experience in extra time than France. ”
Commentators from various countries have analyzed the impact of Zidane's departure on the French team. Almost all of them think. It was a turning point in the game. In the next game, the French team turned from advantage to disadvantage, from offensive to defensive.
The hearts of French fans are filled with worry, while Italian fans cannot hide their joy. They turn their joy into shouts and cheers. So the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. The rousing "Italy! Italy! Italy! Shouts.
The shouts and cheers of the Italian fans. The voices of the French fans were completely suppressed, and France was also at a disadvantage in another battlefield.
Before the game restarted, Domenech called Vieira to the sidelines. Henrik? Hilario said into the microphone: "Zidane leaves." Who controls the tempo of the team? Ribery? He has been called the 'Zidane successor' and it stands to reason that he could not have been the most suitable. ”
"And he's in the right position on the pitch. So it's a good choice to use Ribery to control the tempo of the team. However, he was too young to carry such a burden in the French team. This is the final of the World Cup, and according to Domenech's conservative character, he will not take this risk. ”
'The other option is Patrick Vieira, who has more experience than Franck Franck Ribery. Patrick Vieira is the backbone of France's defence and if he is asked to take on that responsibility, his fitness will be severely tested. Of course, his organizational skills are also average. ”
Henrik? Hilario said worriedly: "Now Domenech has called Vieira to the sidelines, which means that he has made a decision. For almost a decade, the French team has become accustomed to Zidane on the field, and now the French team has to adapt to playing without Zidane. It's pretty tough! ”
When the game resumed, Patrick Vieira took over from Zidane, shouting on the pitch and directing his team-mates. With one less man to play, the French team focused on defense, and even Ribery returned to his own half, and Tang stood alone in the front court. When attacking, the French team did not invest many troops, and Tang Jue was alone.
Italian fans clearly know that the only person who can pose a threat to their team is Tang Jue. Whenever Tang Jue got the ball into the encirclement of Italian defenders, they yelled. When Tang Jue lost the ball, they let out a huge boo. They want to defeat Tang Jue in this way.
was booed by the Italian fans, and Tang Jue's face turned slightly pale. Seeing that almost all of the Italian players around him were around, Tang Jue's brows were furrowed. In a soccer match, who can break through the opposing team's goal without the support of their teammates?
Henrik? Hilario sighed: "Don is surrounded by Italy, and he has no teammates around him. Domenech wants to send the game to extra time, but does France have a chance of winning extra-time? ”
Sky Sports said: "Italy did not relax their defense against Don with their numerical superiority. The two full-backs reduced the number of assists. It looked like they were going to drag the game into extra time. Lippi said that going into extra time, the game would be in Italy's hands. ”
As the game progressed, Lippi saw that the French team was struggling to organize a decent attack, and the flag waved, and the Italian team increased the attack on the French team.
In the 40th minute of the second half, Pirlo played a long pass in the centre circle, and his pass was aimed at the tall center forward Toni. Thuram roared, leaped high and pushed Tony back with the ball. Mateazzi twice dubbed the ball in front of him and said at the time that the Italian could not snatch it on his head again.
Piero met the ball, but instead of stopping it, he crossed the ball straight into the middle. Totti, who received in the middle, met the ball and shot angrily. Gar stretched out his right leg, and the ball hit his leg at the most and bounced off the baseline.
Materazzi re-entered the French penalty area and Thuram posted it on, and he wanted to prove what he said with his actions. Pirlo's corner is headed over by Thuram. Totti shoots from distance again!
There were too many people in the penalty area, and the ball bounced off Accunta's body. Piero stepped forward and was about to shoot again, but Sagnol stabbed the ball out with his toes. Piero could no longer restrain his feet, and the next moment, Sagnol let out a scream and fell onto the turf.
Italy's offensive is in full swing, and the French team is struggling to hold on. The French fans in the stands were even more worried.
German television said: "It turns out that without Zidane, the French team has dropped a notch. France are now struggling to organise a decent attack, let alone break down Italy's goal. How long will the French team last? ”
Henrik? Hilario shook his head and sighed: "Vieira's defensive ability is world-class. But the organizational skills are mediocre. Domenech shouldn't let him dictate the team's tempo. The French team has no rhythm at all. ”
……
Tang Jue clearly did not agree with Domenech's strategic arrangement. He didn't want to drag the game into extra time. Since there is one less player to play, you should find a way to break the opponent's goal and let the game end in regular time. If the game goes to extra time, will France still have a chance of winning?
If a coach doesn't think about how to win the game. So is he still a great coach?
Don had no time to discuss the issue with Domenech. He decided to act on his own. Take advantage of the time of the throw-in. Tang Jue found Ribery and said: "When attacking, be bold and break through to the opponent's penalty area." Believe in yourself, they won't stop you! I'll pick you up in the middle! ”
Ribery looked at Tang Jue in surprise. Patrick Vieira told him the manager's tactics were not like that. Vieira told him that the coach had told him not to go deep into the opponent's hinterland and pass the ball to Tang Jue early.
What now? Is it to listen to the coach, or is it his?
Tang Jue saw Ribery's hesitation and entanglement, and continued: "This is our first World World Cup, do you want to end the game with a loss?" Look at the Hercules Cup on the sidelines, we're so close to it. It's ours! ”
Ribery turned his head to look at the gleaming gold trophy on the sidelines that every player could dream of. There was no longer hesitation in his eyes, he nodded, and said firmly: "Okay!" ”
Tang Jue let out a long breath in his heart, and said to Ribery after the most reluctance: "Pay attention to your passing, either close or far, there are too many people in the middle." ”
Ribery nodded and said, "Good! ”
……
The clock was fast ticking, and Italy took advantage of the numerical advantage to keep the French team in their own half. As the game wore on, the Italian full-backs grew emboldened and they provided more and more assists.
Amid the shouts and cheers of the Italian fans, the Italian team launched a siege on the French goal. For a while, the French team roared in front of the goal!
Tremendous pressure pressed on the French backline, and the French land was covered with thick dark clouds, obscuring the stars in the night sky. The stars are dim in France!
"As the time to end the game drew closer, Italy launched a ferocious attack against France, who were hoping to solve the problem in 90 minutes," ESPN said. ”
Sky Sports said: "Before Zidane leaves, France wants to end the fight in 90 minutes, while Italy wants to drag the game into extra time. Now the two sides have adjusted their strategies and there has been a reversal. I think Domenech's idea now is to use extra time to get the players to digest the impact of Zidane's departure. ”
At this time, Domenech, who was standing in the command area, shouted loudly to his players to pay attention to defense. Lippi was shouting loudly, causing his team to ramp up their attacks. Materazzi couldn't help but say in Tang Jue's ear: "Boy, I said, don't you want to get a bargain from me. Look, you can't even get the ball, throw in the towel! ”
Tang Jue sighed and said, "Admit defeat? It can only happen to people like you. in my dictionary. There was never the word 'throwing in the towel'. ”
Every time Italy attacked, it was applauded by the fans. The faces of the French dignitaries were grim, and the faces of the Italian dignitaries were full of joy. Pele shook his head and said: "Sooner or later, the French team will lose this game, even if it goes to extra time, they can't win." If they can drag the game to penalties, they won't be able to win. ”
Maradona shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, Zidane's fate ......"
Neither the media nor these football legends fancy France as they think Italy will be the winner of the night. ESPN said: "Don is still young, only eighteen years old, missed tonight's title, and four years later, he can make a comeback! (To be continued......)
