Chapter 391: The Knockout Tournament Begins!

Tang Jue said very politely, and the reporters burst into laughter.

The ridicule hit the South Korean reporters in the face like a slap in the face, but they still didn't change their faces, which shows that they have long since cultivated into a family.

Don't be too arrogant, the game is over, if the French team loses, we will give a "generous gift"!

The French captain suddenly remembered the European Championship two years ago, and remembered the South Korean reporter named Park Tae-min, his face was ugly, and he looked at the Korean reporters with disgust and said: "We were able to defeat South Korea four years ago, and we can also beat South Korea tonight!" ”

……

At 3:40, the starters of both sides stood in the players' tunnel, and Tang never went to see the Korean players, because he didn't know anyone else except Park Ji-sung. It stands to reason that he should go up and have a chat with Park Ji-sung, but he is not interested in remembering what he said from a Chinese reporter more than an hour ago.

Park Ji-sung took the initiative to come over and hug the familiar French star, and when he arrived at Tang Jue, he said with a smile: "We meet again." ”

Tang Jue raised his eyebrows, and thought about it, those words were not said by this person, so don't show him a face.

"Yes, meet again!" Tang Jue nodded and said calmly: "Life is like this, where don't we meet." ”

Park Ji-sung bowed his head and whispered in his ear, "After the game, we exchanged jerseys. ”

Tang never expected that this Korean captain would say such a thing, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded.

Soon after, under the leadership of four referees. Holding their ball boys, the players of both teams walked out of the tunnel and into the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The roar of the mountains and the tsunami of cheers came to my face!

Tang Jue has seen too many scenes like this, but his face is still shocked, his heartbeat still begins to accelerate, and he yells in his heart: Knockout, I'm coming! Tonight is the beginning of my real conquest of South Africa!

In his opinion, qualifying from the group is not a severe test, it is just a warm-up, and the knockout round is the real test. It's the main meal.

Major TV media began to explain live. TΓ©lΓ©visiono de France said: "Let's start with the starting line-ups of both sides. Domenech lined up in a four-four-two formation, goalkeeper: Lloris; Defenders: Sagna, Garas, Thuram. Evra; Four midfielders: Tulalang. Makellele. Gourcuff, Ribery; Two strikers: Don, Henry. ”

"This line-up is the same as the second game of the group. After Don was suspended for one game. Re-appearing in the starting line-up, we expect him to be on the lookout. On his last start, he set a two-World Cup record, scoring in the opening five seconds and scoring a hat-trick in seven minutes. ”

"The lineup of the South Korean team is 4231, goalkeeper: Jung Sung-ryong; Four defenders: Cha Duri, Cho Yong-hyung, Lee Jung-so, Lee Young-pyo; Two backs: Ji Chengyong, Kim Jung-woo; Three avant-garde: Kim Jae-seong, Park Ji-sung, Lee Qing-ryong; Single striker Park Joo-young. ”

"In terms of formation, the South Korean team is very defensive."

"This is Don's third game of the tournament and he has scored four goals in his first two games to be the top scorer," ESPN said. In terms of efficiency, he is amazing, averaging two goals in a game. Will he be able to continue his good form tonight? ”

"The beating storm ended with a one-match suspension and a fine of one million, and the French fans were delighted that their number one star had returned in the first round of the knockout round. In this matter, the credit of the French fans is great. It is not to blame them for their excesses, because the French team was able to qualify for the first round early, and Don was the biggest contributor.

Of the six goals scored by France in those two games, Don completed four and the other two came from his assists. The number is not deceiving, all six goals have something to do with him, and Don is the biggest contributor to the victory of the French team.

Tang, who was a fledgling four years ago, played in that match against South Korea. He scored a hat-trick in half-time to get people to know him. Four years later, Don is the most dangerous striker in football today.

In what ways will the returning Don repay his supporters?

We'll see! ”

Milan Sports said: "For Tang, this is a World Cup full of disasters and difficulties, before the start of the tournament he was involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, and was portrayed by some media as a big flower, and his image was greatly damaged. It was only with those women coming forward to clarify the facts and Alice's return that he got out of the whirlpool of public opinion. ”

Then he got into even more trouble. After being provoked, punched British journalists. Public opinion was in an uproar, and he once again entered the whirlpool of public opinion. With the strong support of the French fans, he received a light punishment - a one-match suspension and a fine of one million. ”

"Tonight is his comeback from suspension, and he shouldn't upset his supporters because he's a very emotional person!"

"The pressure of the World Cup is enormous, yet Don has proven countless times that he can play good games under pressure. We hope that Tang Shangjia's table is XiΓ n, Italy is home, and the team that Italian fans want to win the championship the most is the French team, because he created a ZΓ o Milan dynasty in Milan! ”

German TV said: "Tonight is star-studded, there are familiar players such as Don, Henry, Ribery and other players on the field, and there are famous names such as Zidane and Cantona who have retired and used to be famous. On the rostrum, in addition to the leaders of the two football associations, there were UEFA President Platini and FIFA President Seppat Blatter. ”

Behind the bench for France, Alice was seen for the first time in France's wife's group, and it was also her first appearance in the stadium of the World Cup in South Africa. Her arrival adds a touch of beauty to the game! ”

"Before the game, the most beautiful woman of the day, who has gradually faded out of the modeling world, said in an interview with the media: 'I'm here to cheer on the French team tonight, and I'm sure Don won't disappoint his supporters because he never let them down!' ”

"The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, which seats more than 40,000 people, is packed and the first knockout game of this World Cup is about to begin. From this match, the World Cup in South Africa has officially entered the brutal knockout stage! ”

South Korea's KBS TV said: "For South Korea. This is the first knockout match played outside of home soil, and they have already made history. We're sure they'll surprise us too! ”

At four o'clock, with the referee's whistle, the game began!

South Korea, who were the first to serve, began to attack tentatively, and in the fourth minute, Makelele brought down Park Ji-sung in front of the penalty area, and the referee blew a whistle and took a direct free kick.

Park Joo-young was standing behind the football, and he was ready to take a direct free-kick in this excellent position. The French midfield lined up with a human wall, and Lloris nervously commanded the human wall. The final round of the group stage for South Korean strikers. There was a beautiful free-kick goal.

"Smack! ......" a crisp sound. The next moment the football flew over the wall and went straight to the left post of the goal!

The air in the stadium suddenly became tense, and the angle of this ball was tricky!

Loris leaped and lunged at the football. However. His fingers didn't touch the football. Look at the soccer ball flying past your fingertips. Despair appeared in Loris's eyes, and his heart began to fall to hell.

"Pong! ......" with a loud bang, the football hits the post!

This loud bang was for Lorris. It was the sound of heaven, the despair in his eyes was replaced by surprise, and his heart returned to his chest, beating vigorously.

And this one for Korean fans, it was the god of fate who played a joke on them and made them fall from the clouds.

The soccer ball flies off the line.

"Boom......" The stadium resounded with a loud cry of regret.

ESPN exclaimed: "The French team escaped, and the Koreans showed their sharp teeth at the start of the game!" ”

"France can't underestimate South Korea, they are good both in attack and in defense," France TV said. ”

KBS exclaimed: "The South Korean team missed the goal and we hope they will continue to work hard and continue to give us wonderful performances!" ”

In the command area, Xu Dingmao shook his head and sighed, but he saw the hope of scoring goals, and gave his players a thumbs up to encourage them to continue to put pressure on the French team.

Domenech is no longer calm, and if South Korea score in the early stages of the game, France will be passive. And the back line is precisely what he is most worried about. He shouted at his players, signaling them to brace themselves and treat the South Korean team harshly.

This goal made the French team wake up, and the teams in the knockout rounds are really not soft persimmons. They re-examine their opponents and put away their contempt for them.

In the seventh minute, the French team also colored, Ribery broke through on the left and crossed into the penalty area. Tang Jue, who was at the front point, was under the attack of the opponent's two defenders, and did not touch the football at all. Henry at the back point struggled to grab the point, and under the interference of Zhao Yongheng, the football flew directly out of the bottom line.

As time went by, the competition between the two sides became more and more fierce, and players kept screaming and falling on the turf, and Tang Jue was the one who fell to the turf the most.

"The knockout rounds are really brutal and no one wants to leave this big stage. The Koreans, who were lagging behind in overall strength, played beyond people's expectations, and they completely froze France's number one star. The game played for nearly twenty minutes, and Don had yet to shoot a shot, which was rare. ”

After the start of the game, the South Koreans learned the lessons of Mexico, and Tang Jue was taken care of by the South Korean defenders, who did not give him a chance to shoot at all. Especially in the first ten minutes of the game, he kept at least two players around him.

France's number one star was once again caught in the encirclement of the opponent, and after thinking for a while, Tang Jue took the initiative to change, moved his position backwards, and expanded his range of activities. This is his solution to this dilemma in the past.

However, the South Koreans seem to have thought of this a long time ago, and the players who surrounded him became midfielders. In order to stop him from lifting up the speed, as long as Tang Jue held the ball steady and was ready to break through, they immediately adopted foul tactics.

These fouls were committed far from the goal, and free kicks simply could not threaten their goal. The French team's attack got tough.

KBS said loudly: "The Korean team has found a way to freeze Tang Jue!" ”

British Sky TV scoffed: "Ball bully! Are you starting to get lost, didn't you say before the game that this night was yours? ”

"We're going to ask you now, where are you? Where's your shot? ”

Franck Ribery felt he should step up at this point, and he frequently broke down the flanks and cut inside to threaten the goal.

In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Ribery once again made a sharp breakthrough, tore through the defense of the South Korean team, cut inside to the left side of the penalty area, raised his left foot, and swung towards the football!

Zhao Yongheng, who was standing between Ribery and the goal, stretched out his right foot, he wanted to block! (To be continued......)
