The atmosphere in France was much calmer, with Thuram, Makelele, Thierry and others competing in the final four years ago. Thuram and Thierry Henry, in particular, are playing in their fourth World Cup and their third World Cup final, so they are very comfortable with the atmosphere of the final.

From these veterans, you can experience a calm temperament.

Under their influence, the tension of the other players has also been reduced a lot. Everyone was busy replenishing water and wiping the sweat on their bodies, and it was strange that no one took the initiative to ask about Tang Jue's injuries.

Is there any benefit to asking?

If the injury is serious, it will inevitably affect the morale of the team, so everyone didn't ask. In fact, Tang Jue's injury is not particularly serious, at least he can continue to play.

The situation in the first half can be described as bad for the French team, and if it were not for Tang Jue's free kick goal, the French team would have been in a comprehensive disadvantage. Domenech wants to change this passive situation.

'The defensive strategy had to change, from the second half we had to press high and not let the opponent's smooth passing disrupt their rhythm.

Domenech's gray hair fluttered rhythmically with his words. It could well be his last game on the world football stage, and he hopes for a happy ending.

Disrupting the opposition's rhythm with high pressing is his way of dealing with Spain's possession style of play, and perhaps it's the only way.

Makelle thought for a moment and nodded, "This is the only way, our physical fitness should be fine." ”

If the whole game is pressed high up, France's midfield will not have that physical foundation. The start of the first half. France's defensive strategy is to recycle and hold their positions, which saves them energy. The second half is the decisive moment, where to save any energy.

Everyone nodded.

Domenech was satisfied with this answer, nodded and continued: "As for the attack, it can be as simple as it can be, the main thing is to find a way to raise the speed. ”

Speed and accuracy are a contradiction, and there is no guarantee in the pursuit of speed and accuracy, just like in the Premier League, they are fast but also have a lot of mistakes.

But in front of Spain's possession play. If you play possession with the opponent. The competition controls the rhythm, that is, to find death. It's better to be simpler, and competing with opponents for speed may still be a way to survive.

Tang Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Don't pass the ball to people for a long pass." Pass the ball into space. ”

Pass the ball into the open space. Both sides have equal chances of getting the ball. Tang Jue thinks that since he doesn't insist on accuracy, let's compete for speed. Whoever is fast has the potential to win.

Domenech thought for a moment. Nodding his head, he said, "That's it!" ”

The tactical problem is solved, so now it is a morale problem to be solved, and after a glance, the French coach said in a deep voice: "Tonight is the last World Cup game for many of us, including me. ”

Thuram, Makelele, and Henry looked up, Don raised his eyebrows, and Benzema looked up at the veteran......

"In order not to leave us with lifelong regrets......"

Makelle exclaimed: "We fight! ”

Thuram said in a deep voice: "Fight until the last moment!" ”

Henry exclaimed, "Fight! ”

Ribery looked like a normal person in the first half, and there was too much depression in his heart, and he said with a hideous face: "Either you die, or I live!" ”

As he spoke, the scar on his face shone dangerously cold.

……

While the players were resting, British consulates across France were once again attacked, and sirens sounded in the streets......

This is a French fan venting his feelings, starting with Tang Jue punching a British reporter, French fans hate the British to the core. In the first half, Webber was furious with two controversial penalties and they wanted to teach the British a lesson.

It is said that that night, the French police arrested more than 300 fans who were making trouble.

……

After half-time, the players from both sides walked out of the locker room and towards the pitch. Alonso glanced at Tang Jue beside him with an unkind look.

"You won't have that much luck in the second half!" The Real Madrid midfielder said in a deep voice.

Tang Jue slowly turned his head and stared at Alonso, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said with a smile: "Luck is also a part of strength. I've always had good luck and you couldn't stop me in the second half. ”

In the face of provocation, Tang Jue usually fought back.

Alonso was not angry, and said with bright eyes: "Then let's see!" ”

Tang Jue nodded and said, "We'll see!" ”

"You're going to be the biggest loser!"

……

"Tick! ......" whistle blows, and the second half of the game begins!

ESPN exclaimed: "After a fifteen-minute break, players from both sides returned to the field of play and the second half of the game began!" ”

The French team quickly transferred the football to the front, and the three left-sided players of Ribery, Tulalang, and Evra worked together to tear apart the Spanish defense, and Ribery made a cross!

Tang Jue, who received in the middle, did not seek to break through with the ball under the defense of the other two, but directly knocked back. Gourcuff stepped forward, waved his right leg and headed straight towards the football.

"Smack! ......" sounded, and the football roared towards the goal like a cannonball!

"Ahh ......" There were screams from the stands, not expecting the French team to attack the Spanish goal at the beginning of the second half.

It's a pity that Gourcuff's footwork was not mastered well, and the ball flew out of the bottom line above the crossbar.

In the goal kick, the French midfield did not retreat back, but immediately launched a press in the midfield. Obviously, Spain did not expect that France would change their defensive strategy at the beginning of the second half. In the face of the menacing French players, the football at their feet soon reached the feet of the French players.

In the third minute, right-back Sagna stepped forward to assist and found Henry with a diagonal cross. Henry took two steps forward and didn't seek to break through with the ball. Instead, he struck back with the inside of his right foot, and the ball rolled past the heel of his left foot and towards his left back.

At the moment of Henry's pass, Tang Jue suddenly accelerated to shake off Alonso, took two steps forward, and then raised his right leg, he wanted to shoot!

Pique and Puyol stepped forward and stretched out their legs, they were about to block the shot route!

"Smack! ......" sounded, and the football was like a sharp arrow. Crossing the blocks of two Spanish centre-backs. Fly towards the left side of the goal!

At this moment, the only one who could stop the football was Casillas, and I saw him leap and pounce on the football!

The air in the stadium is tense!

The next moment. Casillas' left hand was in the way of the ball. Then the ball rolls off the line.

In the stands. Thunderous applause!

The French fans applauded excitedly, and their team deserved to be encouraged to change the passivity of the first half. And the Spanish fans applauded Casillas' brilliant save.

France Télévisions exclaimed: "France has changed its defensive strategy. Pressed high and achieved good results. Spain's fluid passing rhythm is gone, and the ball is no longer firmly in their hands! ”

"It seems that Domenech has found a solution to Spain's possession tactics!"

"Come on! Team France! ”

Madrid TV said worriedly: "The French team has put a lot of pressure on the Spanish goal, and the Spanish players must immediately adjust their mentality and face the changes in France positively. ”

For a full ten minutes, the French team pressed Spain to the death, forming four shots on goal. The old coach Bosque was no longer calm, and stood in the command area and shouted at his players, signaling them to come to their senses.

As the game progressed, the Spanish team slowly calmed down, and they passed the ball faster, and a lot of the time it was the first time to pass the ball. The experienced Spanish players slowly adapted to the high pressing of the French team and began to attack.

In the 14th minute, Xavi planned an attack on the left flank, and left-back Capdevilla made a diagonal pass from eight meters from the baseline. Iniesta stepped forward and fired a long-range shot!

The next moment, the football went out of the door.

In the eighteenth minute, Spain made a comeback, Iniesta crossed diagonally, Villa inserted into the penalty area, and shot angrily. Gallas dropped his center of gravity before Villa's shot could be made, and he was going to make a block.

The next moment, the ball hit Gallas's right leg and bounced off the baseline.

The battle for the pinnacle was held at the Soccer City Stadium, and fans around the world were mesmerized. In contrast, fans watching the ball in the stadium are a little more nervous, because every pass has the potential to change the balance on the field.

In the twenty-second minute, after Ribery cut in, he suddenly made a direct pass!

Tang Jue got rid of Alonso and plunged into the penalty area like a sharp arrow!

The Spanish defenders had been keeping a tight eye on France's number one star, and seeing Tang Jue into the box and running wildly towards the football, Pique's Puyol quickly moved his position to flank the ball. Where would Tang have such a good opportunity for France to shoot, step forward, swing his left leg, and kick the football hard!

A white light flashed, and the ball flew towards the near corner!

The Spanish fans' faces are pale, and the angle of this ball is tricky!

Casillas flew over and was going to pounce!

The next moment, the football flew past his fingertips, and despair appeared in Casillas' eyes!

"Pong! ......" There was a loud bang, and the goal began to shake violently. To the delight of Spanish fans, the football hit the post and popped off the bottom line.

......A loud sigh rang out from the stands, followed by thunderous applause.

Casillas had a feeling of relief after death and then got up from the turf and yelled at his own defender.

"Can't let him shoot with his feet! Watch closely! ”

Tang Jue hugged his head in pain, he missed a good opportunity to overtake the score.

Damn the pillars!

Alonso looked at the football that rolled out of the bottom line with a pale face, and then he exhaled a long breath, walked to Tang Jue's side and said: "Look, I said a long time ago that your luck has run out!" ”

Tang Jue frowned slightly, got rid of the pain, glanced at his Real Madrid teammates contemptuously and said, "My luck has just begun!" ”

German television exclaimed: "Some people say that the final is not good because both sides are very careful, and that was the case in the first half. But as the second half began, the French team changed the conservatism of the first half and attacked aggressively to make the game exciting. ”

"It was a great final!"

In the 25th minute, Spain won a corner kick and Xavi combined with Iniesta, who kicked the ball into the French penalty area. There was chaos in the French penalty area, players from both sides pulled each other, two players fell, and the football rose backwards!

A red figure jumped high!

Then, his forehead was slammed against the football!

The football flew like a white cannonball towards the top right corner of the goal!

The faces of the French fans began to turn pale, and the eyes of the Spanish fans bloomed with the flowers of hope! (To be continued......)
