The blue bus pulled out of the airport, and along the way there were excited fans, draped in flags, shouting: "France! France! France! ……”

The French team proudly waved to the fans through the windows......

An hour later, the bus arrived at the Arc de Triomphe and the French team stepped onto the second deck of the bus. Tang Jue felt that his vision suddenly widened, and there was a sea of people under the bus. The nearly 50-meter-wide road has only one lane, and the rest of the road is full of fans celebrating the victory.

On both sides of the Champs-Élysées, there were originally more than a dozen rows of simple stands, stretching along the entire avenue. But such stands don't seem to please the fans, everyone wants to get as close to the team bus as possible, and almost no one chooses to sit in the stands and party.

The headquarters of the French Football Federation is hidden by the Arc de Triomphe, between a huge townhouse building, with a mottled yellow wooden gate without even a hint of text or signage. Compared with the luxury and grandeur of other countries' football associations, the French Football Association seems quite shabby, and can even be described as shabby. But this is indeed the most important national football association in the world, and many laws and regulations that have a profound impact on football are made here.

The French Football Federation only has a dozen rooms on four floors above and below the apartment, and it is necessary to find a revolving glass door and follow the hints of the family portrait of the French team on the glass door to confirm that it has arrived.

At this time, the French Football Federation door was locked and empty. Their staff is out and about. On the evening of the 9th, the French team won the cup, and on the morning of the 10th, they began to nervously prepare for the grand welcome ceremony.

A lot of out-of-town fans rushed to the bus last night. Come here. Some fans even slept on the street for a night. Unlike eight years ago, there were a lot of Asian faces in the crowd......

Surrounded by 200,000 people, the blue bus slowly drove from the Arc de Triomphe into the Champs-Élysées, and the Hercules Cup was kissed by each French player one after another, and the last was held high by Zidane, and the whole France chanted "Long live......

Today is a big day for France!

From the Arc de Triomphe to the Obelisk of the Place de la Concorde, the 3-kilometre-long Champs-Élysées is the center stage of the national celebration in France. The blue bus slowly moved forward in the crowd, the emotional crowd. Shout out the name of your hero.

Huge advertisements for shops on both sides of the Champs-Élysées. Zidane's shiny bald head can be seen everywhere; Zidane's endorsed goods range from watches to suits and even baby products. Zidane's glorious image in France is all-encompassing, a good player, a good man, a good husband and a good father, so almost any product. can find a reason for Zidane to endorse.

Zidane's biggest poster. On the outskirts of Marseille, where Zidane grew up. The entire side of the 10-storey house is a face of Zidane, about 300 square meters.

This World Cup is the end of Zidane's career, and the French express it in this form. Respect for him. Ribery pointed to the billboard and said loudly in Tang Jue's ear: "Maybe in the future, Zidane's avatar will be replaced by yours!" ”

Tang Jue shook his head and said loudly in Ribery's ear: "I don't like to shoot commercials!" ”

……

The event was broadcast live on France Télévision, allowing those who could not attend the event to be seen on television. Henrik? Hilario exclaimed: "Today, Paris is empty, people are coming to the Champs-Élysées and the Place de la Concorde. They are here to witness the heroes return to their hometowns! ”

"There are more than 200,000 people on the Champs-Élysées. Eight years ago, when France won the championship on home soil, the whole country went crazy. ”

"Now France is proud to have won the trophy for the second time in Germany with their excellent performance. This is the first time that the French team has won the trophy outside of their home soil. Excited fans chanting the names of the heroes. Look, now Don is holding the Hercules Cup high, listen, the fans are chanting his name. ”

"Eighteen is for the average person, he should be in middle school or university by now. Eighteen is for a player who is mostly still in the club's youth team; Some lucky players enter the first team, sit on the bench and watch their teammates play; Only individual talented players can play. ”

"Don is a genius among geniuses, entering the Saint-Germain first team at the age of seventeen and quickly taking the place as the main striker. At the end of the season, he moved to AC Milan. No one could have imagined that he would soon become the team's main striker in the star-studded city of Milan. At the end of the season, he helped Milan win Serie A and the Champions League. Personally won the top scorer and best player in Serie A and the Champions League. ”

'Don has brought his good form to Germany, playing five times and scoring eight goals, which is fantastic for a player. More importantly, at the most critical moment of the final, he used a volley barb that shocked the world to beat Italy and help France win the Hercules Cup! ”

"At that moment, he conquered Italy and conquered the whole world. He has become a mainstay of French football and a guarantee of the French team's victory. Whatever his future holds, he is a hero in the hearts of French fans! ”

"Now the Hercules Cup is passed to Ribery's hand. The young man, known as the 'successor to Zidane', proved himself at the World Cup. In the semifinals, it was his goal that allowed the French team to eliminate Portugal with a score of 1-0 and advance to the final. ”

"In the final, it was he who broke through on the side and delivered cannonballs to Don. After the game, many believed that after Zinedine Zidane's departure, Ribery would be the heart of the French team's midfield. The future French team, the frontcourt combination composed of him and Don, will surely become the guarantee of the French team's victory! ”

"Now the Hercules Cup is passed to Vieira......"

On the blue bus, Ribery said loudly in Tang Jue's ear: "Don, since I stepped on the football field, I have dreamed of this moment. Eight years ago, I watched it on TV, and now I think it's a dream. Yes...... What are you doing? Damn it! ”

Ribery looked at Tang Jue angrily and rubbed his left arm. Tang Jue smiled and said in his ear, "I'm just letting you understand that this is not a dream. This is the real world! ”

The three-kilometer Champs-Élysées is a full hour walk by bus.

After passing through the Champs-Élysées, the French team members stepped off the bus. The festivities will be moved to the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde. At this time, the square was covered by a huge red, white and blue canopy, and a row of barricades had been set up at the celebration site of nearly fifty steps.

On the top of the steps stood a row of people, dressed in suits and leather shoes, led by French Prime Minister de Villepin, and standing to his right and right was the president of the Football Association, Gram? Simone, vice-chairmen Great, Platini......

The French team stepped on the steps and shook hands with the excited fans on both sides. Difficult to climb up. An excited female fan hugged Tang Jue tightly. Shout out, "I love you!" ……”

Tang Jue smiled and said in her ear: "I love you too!" ”

After the excited female fan screamed, she fainted......

According to the previous arrangement, the Hercules Cup should once again be passed by the French players. However, the players all went to shake hands with the excited fans. The Hercules Cup has always been held only by Zidane. Fifty steps. The French team walked for half an hour.

Walk up the steps. The French team stands at the highest point of the square. The row of big men on the steps greeted the heroes warmly. De Villepin walked up to the microphone and said loudly, "Gentlemen, ladies. We finally have this great moment again! ”

"For a month they fought in Germany, shed blood in Germany, they were a great group of fighters!"

"For a month, they have beaten strong opponents on the field and stood on the top podium. They are our heroes! ”

"It is they who have realized our dream of the World Lu World Cup, and it is they who make us proud to stand at the top of the World Lu World!"

Every word de Villepin uttered, there was a great deal of screaming and thunderous applause.

"Now I pronounce the names of the heroes, Butters...... Makelle ...... Thuram ......"

Once again, the Hercules Cup is passed in the hands of the players!

De Villepin pronounced the last name: "Zidane!" ”

At this moment, Zidane held the glittering Hercules Cup high!

Henrik? Hilario shouted: "Friends in front of the TV, now please raise your hands!" This is the moment that belongs to France! ”

The whole of France raised their hands with Zidane!

Thunderous cheers!

The celebration is at its climax!

……

At this time, on the east side of the Place de la Concorde, next to the Seine, is another new attraction of the World Cup in Paris——— a huge national flag ribbon spanning in front of the National Assembly building. The tricolour ribbon spans the 12 huge stone pillars at the entrance of the Houses of Parliament.

Another flag ribbon is laid flat on the granite steps of the Houses of Parliament, and the two ribbons are joined by a circular tricolor ring. This is the most formal style of ribbon worn on the chest of a hero at the coronation ceremony in France.

On a row of iron railings in front of the Houses of Parliament hung a 20-meter-long and five-meter-wide banner that read "Champion! France! On the day of the finals, the banner here reads "Forward! France! ”。 Many Parisian locals go to this place to take pictures.

This huge ribbon and banner was made after the victory over Brazil to reach the last four. As soon as it appeared at noon the next day, it immediately became a big picture on the front page of all French newspapers. It is reported that this idea was conceived by French President Jacques Chirac before the match against Brazil.

The National Assembly building, the highest authority in France, is a statue of Rousseau, Voltaire and Montesquieu, the three giants of France's democratic reforms, but now they have become the foil of football. According to a French newspaper, football has become the number one topic in the French parliament during the World Cup.

On the day of the final, French President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister Jean-Michel de Villepin left the venue and appeared in the VIP seats at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, each wearing a scarf with a French flag pattern to cheer for their national team.

The Sichuan restaurant next to Lyon II, if it was placed in the past, now is the peak time for eating. At this time, the table was still full, but there was not a single dish on the table. The people in the dining room, having forgotten about hunger, watched the live broadcast on TV.

There was no man with glasses in the crowd, and it was said that he had left for Paris last night...... (To be continued......)
