The air in the conference room became strange, and Zidane's approach clearly showed that he attached great importance to Tang Jue. A few people became unsightly, but they quickly hid their true thoughts.

Domenech's eyebrows were raised, and a flash of imperceptible joy flashed. He has been thinking about the question of the leader of the French team after Zinedine Zidane, the president of French football. Simone is quite optimistic about Tang Jue, believing that he is the future leader of the French team.

Now that Zidane is so elevated, Domenech is brewing the situation of the "post-Zidane era" in his heart.

Tang Jue thought for a while and said: "Judging from the current form, we have to win this game to put pressure on the Swiss team. In the next game, we will return to our home stadium and knock Switzerland down and we will be able to secure the top spot in the group. Take your destiny into your own hands. ”

Tang Jue said firmly: "So in this game, we have no way back, we must get three points against Ireland." ”

"It doesn't matter if they had a bye in the last round, they have a physical advantage, or they play at home, even if they are a strong team like Brazil, we only have one goal, and that is to beat the opponent!"

Tang Jue's firm words were like drumsticks, and they slammed the hearts of the French players. The drums on the hearts of the French players resonated with each other in the air.

Zinedine Zidane applauded, Makelele applauded, Thuram applauded......

Domenech's eyes were bright and he applauded!

There was a struggle in the eyes of Henry and the others, and they felt that although Tang Jue was very young. But it was a formidable opponent. But they also started applauding!

There was a round of applause in the conference room!

After a while, the applause slowly faded, and Zidane glanced around and said: "Don is right, we don't have any way back now." Before the last game, the coach said that many of us may be the last time we will participate in the World Cup, and that's right.

I've decided to retire at the end of the season. Makelle is also thirty-two years old, and he will be thirty-six in the next term. Thuram is Chinese New Year's Eve. There is absolutely no way that those of us will participate in the next World Cup. ”

The years are ruthless, like a carving knife, no matter how talented a player is, there is a time when he gets old. A generation of football kings. About to leave. The conference room was filled with a faint sadness.

Zidane quickly adjusted his emotions. Said: "Brothers! I would like to thank all of you for the many years we have worked together to win the World Cup. I also won the European Championship. ”

His voice raised several degrees: "Now we are fighting together again, and we are going to participate in next year's World Cup in Germany with our heads held high!" ”

"Let's go and perform on the stage of the World Cup again!"

No one took the lead, everyone in the room began to applaud, and someone's eyes began to moisten. I don't know who shouted: "For Zidane, we fight!" ”

"That's right! Fight! ”

"Dream of Germany!"

The pre-game meeting turned into a mobilization meeting, and the atmosphere in the conference room was unprecedentedly high. Domenech felt at this point how big the role of the team leader was, and Zidane's words were worth a thousand words.

The French team turned pressure into motivation through their pre-match meetings and they were ready to fight Ireland.

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon of September 8, there was a sea of people inside and outside the Lansdown Road Gymnasium. The Irish fans are singing and dancing on their doorstep, cheering their soldiers to defeat the mighty French team with their own shouts.

Their men drew away at France on 10 October last year and are back at home, and with their players at ease, they have every reason to believe they will win this game in the end.

The French fans, dressed in the white away uniforms of the French team, had relaxed expressions. France's 7-0 win over the Faroe Islands in their last game swept away the slump in the previous six rounds. France fans have reason to believe that their team will surely beat Ireland here!

They scoffed at the perception of the media, believing that they were artificially creating tensions.

6:10 a.m., the away team's locker room.

Domenech was on the pitch: "Don on the right, Thierry Henry on the left. ”

Tang Jue frowned slightly, previously, the left side of the French team was Henry's. In the warm-up game in July, Tang Jue played on the right side. At that time, he was determined to go back to the left. His wish came true in the last game, and he returned to the right in this game.

Domenech spotted Don's displeasure, and he explained, "Don, Roy? Keane likes to defend on the right and Thierry Henry is more familiar with him. ”

The coach actually explained to Don?

Henry frowned, and Vieira looked thoughtful.

If you want to fight, you must win!

Tang Jue looked at Domenech and said, "Coach, if this is the reason, you can rest assured. Do I know Roy? Keane is strong and tough, but I think I can take on him! ”

"If I run away because he is strong, then how will I face even stronger opponents in the future?"

Tang Juejiang's sentence "To become a great player, you must have a great heart." The words were hidden in his heart, and he knew that in the current environment, this sentence was inappropriate and would cause many people to resent it.

Zidane seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate, and at this moment, his eyelids jumped. Thuram nodded slightly, Makelele's eyebrows raised, and Roten smiled and shook his head.

"Coach, I can play whichever side!" Henry spoke. He sneered in his heart: Young! It's going to make you suffer! The left side will still be mine in the future!

Domenech agrees with Tang Jue's statement in his heart, and only fearless can he calmly face a strong opponent. In the last game, Tang Jue was placed on the left side, and he saw Henry's dissatisfaction, so he let Henry return to the left side in this game.

Since Henry himself has no opinion, then let Don go to the left. Anyway, players always have to grow, even if he can't play his level in this game, it will be an experience for him in the future.

If he can do well in this game, then he will be deployed on the left side in the future. Henry had nothing to say!

"Good! Don is on the left and Henry is on the right. ”

After the hiccup, Domenech moved on to other positions.

……

Home team dressing room.

Head coach Karl looked at Roy? Keane said: "Your task is to limit Zidane's play, to stay on track. Limiting Zidane reduced France's strength by half. Your task is heavy! ”

Roy? Keane nodded, he knew that Doukar was right, restricting the core of the French team, and they almost succeeded.

Domenech and the French players had no idea that Ireland would be arranged like this. Roy? Keane's defense was not against the French striker, but against Zinedine Zidane. They are to use the strongest shields. Blocking the heart of the French team's attack.

Maybe in Carl and Roy? Keane's eyes. Zinedine Zidane is France's key man.

Karl looked at his two central defenders, Cunningham and Dunn, and said, "Don is very fast, you two have to work together, one is against him, and the other is waiting for the opportunity to come up and grab the ball." Note. He must not be allowed to use his speed. ”

Dunn, who plays for Manchester City in the Premier League, said with a smile: "Coach. You can rest assured. I'm not going to let him play at speed. ”

Karl shook his head and said, "You can't underestimate him, more than a month ago, Terry and Ferdinand didn't have a good way to restrain him. Causing England to lose the game. Although he is young, many people are optimistic about him and think that his future is bright. ”

Cunningham smiled and said, "Coach, you are raising him, what is so scary about an eighteen-year-old little guy." Even if he becomes a great striker in the future, that will be for the future. We're not John Terry and Ferdinand, we're going to take him seriously. Terry once told me that he took it lightly in that fight, or he would have stopped Don absolutely. ”

Most of Ireland's players play in the Premier League, they are very familiar with English players, and many are even good friends.

Karl knew that now was not the time to increase his popularity, and he buried that trace of worry deep in his heart.

Roy? Keane said excitedly, "Brothers! We've got to win the French team! ”

"That's right! Take down the French team! ”

"Victory is ours!"

More Irish players roared as they stood up excitedly.

Ireland are ready to defend their home honours!

……

At 6:40, players from both sides stood in the players' tunnel, ready to play. Roy? Keane looked at Zidane fiercely, but Zidane didn't pay any attention to him at all.

Dunn looked seriously at Tang Jue, who was at the end of the line, and Tang Jue stepped up and looked directly at Dunn. The corners of Dunn's mouth turned up slightly, and a defiant expression appeared on his face.

Tang Jue read his eyes: "Boy! Don't try to get a favor from me! ”

"Dunn, 26 years old, Premier League Manchester City player, early stage of the star game. Master, one-on-one he is not your opponent. Xiao Feifei's voice sounded in Tang Jue's mind.

Ball star at the beginning?

Tang Jue remembered that he had long been close to the middle level of the ball star, why had he not broken through to the middle of the ball star so far?

"Master, you may reach the middle level of the ball star at any time now, and after the trip to the United States, you have the level of the middle level of the ball level, but you have never had the opportunity to show your breakthrough skills."

"What?"

After being surprised, Tang Jue smiled and looked at Dunn.

Dunn's eyes became solemn, he thought that Tang Jue would use anger to meet his provocation, but Tang Jue looked at him with a smile. Dunn understands that the Milan star in front of him is definitely not as young as his age suggests, but rather very mature.

Dunn didn't expect Tang Jue's smile at all, because he could reach the mid-level of the ball star at any time. He interpreted Tang Jue's smile as: Tang Jue is a very mature player, because he faces other people's provocations with a smile!

……

The players from both sides walked to the pitch under the leadership of the referee, and the big battle between Ireland and France was about to break out!

The Lansdown Road Stadium suddenly boiled!

The Lansdown Road Stadium has a capacity of 50,000 fans, and tonight, 45,000 Irish fans are in attendance, and 5,000 French fans are cheering for their soldiers.

Wearing green home jerseys, the overwhelmingly outnumbered Irish fans shouted: "Ireland! Ireland! Ireland! ”

The momentum is earth-shattering!

Not to be outdone, the outnumbered French fans shouted: "France! France! France! ”

Before the game even starts, the battle has already begun! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
