At eleven o'clock in the morning of the 10th, Tang Jue had just gotten up and finished washing, sitting on a chair in the room, when a tall figure pushed the door in. This person is none other than Henry, who left the field early last night. Tang Jue stood up with a smile and hugged Henry.

"Thank you!" Henry said emotionally.

Tang Jue patted Henry's shoulder and said with a smile: "I am the striker of the team, I should take on the task of scoring goals, and scoring goals is my responsibility." ”

Henry shook his head and said, "Zidane and I left, and the burden on your shoulders is heavier." I woke up in the morning and watched the video of the game, it was so tough. ”

Tang Jue said: "People always have to encounter difficulties, and people are always overcoming difficulties. Forget it, let's not talk about that, how are you doing? Where did it hurt? ”

"Moderate concussion." Henry said: "The doctor said that you can be cured in four weeks, and there is no big problem. ”

Volleyed barbs and defeated Italy, Tang Jue shook the whole world, and the biggest shock was the players of the French team. Zinedine Zidane will retire after the World Cup, and Henry will still want to compete for the position of leader in the dressing room. Tang Jue had a deep discussion with Henry before the start of the World Cup, hoping that the two would join forces to fight Vieira, but Henry did not make a clear statement at that time.

Time has passed, a month has passed, the World Cup has come to an end, and Tang Jue has become famous all over the world and has become the biggest contributor to the French team's victory. In the final, Zinedine Zidane, the spiritual leader, left the pitch and France struggled, and Don beat Italy to help the team win. His status in the hearts of his teammates has risen rapidly, and there is a faint tendency to become a new spiritual leader.

Patrick Vieira continued to be solid at the World Cup, particularly in the semi-final against Portugal. With Claude Makelele sidelined, he single-handedly took on the burden of defending the midfield. In the game, his performance was super-level and was an important contributor to the victory over Portugal by the French team.

Vieira is Tang Jue's biggest rival to become the leader. He has a high level of support in the hearts of the French team and French fans. Last month, a French journalist launched a survey of French fans: Zinedine Zidane retired, who do you think is the most suitable to become the new captain?

Vieira has a 51 percent approval rating, Henry's 32 percent approval rating, and Don's approval rating is only 16 percent. In other words, Henry and Tang Jue combined, there is no Vieirado.

Henry sat down in his chair and pondered for a moment. looked at Tang Jue and said, "What we said before still counts?" ”

Tang Jue said with a serious expression: "Of course it counts!" ”

"Good!" Henry patted Tang Jue's shoulder and said, "I will fully support you!" ”

……

One o'clock at noon. Zidane came to Tang Jue's room, and after the two embraced, they sat on the chair.

"How? What does it feel like to be a champion in the world? Zidane asked with a smile.

Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "It's like conquering the most attractive beauty in the world!" ”

Zidane laughed and scolded: "Conquer the beauty? God, you have long since conquered the most attractive beauty in the world. ”

Tang Jue felt that his analogy was inappropriate. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's put it this way." It's like climbing Mount Everest. Finally stood at the peak. Standing on the summit, I realized that Italy had died under the peak. I can roar at the top of the peak. It's a really great feeling. ”

After taking a sip of coffee, Zidane placed the cup on the table with a yellow dark flower, and said, "Aren't you afraid of causing an avalanche?" ”

Tang Jue smiled: "Avalanche? What are you afraid of, anyway, I'm standing on the peak, and the avalanche won't weigh on me. ”

Zidane didn't laugh, he suddenly became melancholy. Tang Jue knew where his hesitation was, so he smiled and said, "We should be happy, no matter what, we are the victors after the worst." ”

Zidane shook his head, his right hand stroking the coffee cup. Tang Jue's words did not let him come out of his depression. Raising his head, Zidane asked, "How do you know what Materazzi said?" ”

Tang Jue looked at Zidane and said, "If I say, I guessed, do you believe it?" ”

Since he didn't want to say it, then forget it, Zidane shook his head and said: "At that time, there was a demon in my heart, and this demon said, 'Fight back!'" Hurry up and fight back! So I couldn't control my emotions. ”

Tang Jue waved his hand and said, "You don't have to feel guilty about what you've done. I said last night that if it were me, I would rip out his tongue so that he would not be able to speak from now on. ”

"The responsibility for this matter is not yours, but his. I'm sticking with you! ”

Zidane let out a long breath, and his mood improved slightly. If Italy had won last night, he would have been a sinner. As soon as the winner of the Golden Globe was announced in the morning, it caused controversy. That's one of the consequences of that incident.

"I'm not going to collect the award in the afternoon." Zidane said as he looked out the window at the tall building. The room was quiet. Tang Jue followed Zidane's gaze and looked at the orange tall building. The knot in my heart still hasn't been untied.

If you don't go to the FIFA awards, the consequences are serious. Tang Jue knew that the main reason why Zidane did not attend the award was that those reporters were a group of poisonous snakes. Zidane did not want to be attacked by poisonous snakes to uncover the scars of last night.

Tang Jue withdrew his gaze, looked into Zidane's eyes and said, "You should go!" ”

Tang Jue knew that Zidane had come to seek understanding. But he believes that it is men who should face everything bravely, instead of running away. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you should go for it.

Zidane continued to look at the orange skyscraper, his right fingers tapping rhythmically on the tabletop. Tang Jue looked at the fingers of Zidane's right hand and said, "On the court, your rhythm is not like this. Your feet can play the most beautiful music in the world. You can control the tempo of the arena very well. ”

Zidane didn't withdraw his gaze, but his fingers stopped, and he continued to tap on the table. The beating began to have a rhythm, a rhythm. Tang Jue seemed to see Zidane on the court, elegantly dribbling, breaking through, and passing......

"When! ......" After an accent, Zidane's fingers stopped. Tang Juezhi said that Zidane had already made a decision. Retracting his gaze, Zidane looked at Tang Jue and said, "Okay! I'll go! ”

Tang Jue laughed happily!

……

Three o'clock in the afternoon of the 10th. The lobby on the third floor of the Hilton Berlin is overcrowded. FIFA will present the Ballon d'Or and the Golden Boot here. More importantly, reporters wanted to know what Zinedine Zidane and Don absolutely thought about last night's game. There were no reporters last night who were able to interview the French players because the French players were celebrating.

Tang Jue and FIFA officials took the stage. This FIFA official is none other than Hugor, the head of the FIFA Technical Research Group? Osik. He once announced the winner of the "Best Newcomer in the World Cup" award. Hugol? Osik was holding a golden sneaker in his hand - "Top scorer!" "Trophies.

There was an uproar in the audience, Hugol? Osik said into the microphone: "Good afternoon, fellow journalists! What I'm about to award right now is 'Top Scorer'. In this year's World Cup, Tang scored a total of eight goals and topped the scorer list. ”

"I declare. The winner of the 'Top Scorer' of the Eighteenth World Cup is - Tang! ”

The audience applauded. Hugol? Osik stood up and handed the golden soccer ball to Tang Jue. Tang Jue politely accepted the trophy, and then proudly held it high. The long guns and cannons in the audience began to flicker!

Tang Jue put the trophy on the stage and said into the microphone: "I'm very happy to get the most coveted trophy for this striker." Thank you to my teammates. Without them. I couldn't have scored so many goals. Thanks Zinedine Zidane. He sent me a lot of great passes! ”

Tang Jue's words were very brief. The team reporter asked: "Don, congratulations on winning the 'Golden Boot Award'!" My question is, what motivates you to score so many goals? ”

Tang Jue smiled: "Target! I said that in March of this year. My goal is the triple crown. At the end of last season, my Milan team-mates and I won Serie A and the Champions League. Then the goal of the triple crown has been completed two, and only the World Cup is left. The most difficult of the three crowns is the World Cup. ”

"In the game against South Korea, the score was down, I came off the bench and had to fight hard. Since I'm a striker, my job is to break down the opponent's goal and help the team win. I scored my first hat-trick in that race. ”

"When it comes to playing against Brazil, they are too strong. I had to fight hard again for the sake of my goals. One goal obviously didn't guarantee the win, so I scored two. ”

"In the final, Italy's defenders were the best in the world. They formed a strong line of defense. There was a big net around me and to be honest, I think it was too tough to score. I had two great chances on goal before I scored, but they were dismantled by the Italians. ”

"At that time, I was disappointed. But the thought of being only one step away from the goal made me desperate again. I had spoken to Ribery before the goal, he was in charge of the pass, I was in charge of the shots. We did it. ”

Tang Jue retracted his thoughts, looked at the reporters in the audience and said: "I am a person who keeps my promise, since I said that I want to complete the three crowns, no matter how difficult it is, I will work hard." So from that point of view, fulfilling my promise was the original motivation for me to score goals. ”

There was applause from the audience. At this time, Zidane was sitting behind the stage, and next to him was the guest of honor, Platini. At this time, Platini looked at the TV and smiled: "It looks like we have to find a way to make him make more promises!" ”

Zidane shook his head and said: "I know him, no one can force him to make any commitments unless he wants to." ”

Platini began to think about what Zidane had said.

……

A reporter from the German newspaper Bild asked: "Many people have opinions about Zidane's 'Ballon d'Or', what do you think?" In addition, some people think that last night's volley was the best goal in the World Cup final, what do you think about this issue? ”

Tang Jue thought for a while and said: "At noon, when the team reporter interviewed me by phone, I once said that I think Zidane deserves this award. The French team was able to win the championship after the most reluctance, and he contributed the most. I know that some people think that I am the biggest contributor to the French team's victory. ”

"Actually, they were wrong, Zidane is the initiator of the team's attack, the controller of the team's rhythm. It can be said that without Zidane, the French team would be lowered a notch. His departure from the pitch is a testament to that. ”

"So I think Zidane deserves the Ballon d'Or!" (To be continued......)
