Chapter 45: Quickly Counterattack and Sink Switzerland!
Those small eyes narrowed into a slit, and the corners of their mouths were slightly curled.
Tang Jue hurriedly said: "The main thing is that your passing is too accurate, without your passing, I can't get rid of Vogel, and I can't break through." ”
As he spoke, he quickly sat up. Luo Teng smiled: "Okay! Don't argue about that, the goal has been scored anyway, and the credit will be calculated after the game. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and pulled Tang Jue up.
Zidane patted Tang Jue's shoulder and didn't say another word.
Henry, who ran like a madman, walked towards the center circle after receiving the congratulations of his teammates, and when he saw Zidane, Tang Jue, and Luo Teng walking together, his pupils shrank. Without the slightest hesitation, Henry hurriedly walked up to Tang Jue, hugged him, and said in his ear: "Don, your pass is so beautiful!" ”
Tang Jue smiled and said, "No! If you don't put the ball into the goal, no matter how nice the pass is, it doesn't matter. ”
Zidane let out a slight, barely audible snort from his nose, and he walked away with his head down, not hugging Henry. In his opinion, after Henry scored, the first person to hug should be Tang Jue. If it weren't for Tang Jue's pass, where would he have a chance to shoot.
How could a guy like Henry, who had been on the pitch for so long, forget that?
This is obviously to downplay Tang Jue's contribution in this ball. This kind of behavior made Zidane despise.
The game soon restarted and the Swiss were looking to use the last few minutes of the first half to equalise.
Everyone knows that if they lose this game, they will have to win the last game against Ireland. to have a chance to qualify for the play-offs. Perhaps Ireland and Israel will be closing in on them after this match. Because the opponents of these two teams in this round are not strong, one is Cyprus and the other is the Faroe Islands.
Wearing red and white jerseys, the Swiss team launched a ferocious attack after the game restarted. They were like beasts, baring their fangs and swinging fiercely at the French team's penalty area.
The defenders of the French team, together with two of the most experienced players in the tournament, Vieira and Claude Makelle, put up a sturdy shield. Defend the French goal behind you.
Only muscle to muscle is heard. The sound of bones colliding with each other, a fierce battle has begun. The diminutive Makelle frequently competed with each other for the strength of his body, and his hard bones ached. Vieira's long legs stretched out again and again. To steal the ball at the opponent's feet.
With the referee's whistle. The first half of the game was finally over.
Home team dressing room.
Kuhn looked at the frustrated player. Shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have no way back! It was a match that almost determined whether we would be able to play in next year's World Cup. Brothers! We had to fight hard in the second half and we had to equalize! ”
Courage began to gather in the eyes of the Swiss players. Kuhn continued to encourage his players: "Attack! Offensive! The only thing we had to do in the second half was attack, 0-1 and 0-2 were the same for us, attack! The two full-backs need to be bold in attack! ”
Truth be told, Kuhn has been planning for a draw. It is very difficult to break the goal of the French team, and so far in the group stage, only Israel has used the home advantage to break through the French goal on March 31. In other words, the French goal has only been breached once so far.
The Swiss team, which has no way out, must take advantage of the home advantage and break the French team's goal, as Israel did. A draw, Kuhn wants a draw!
The Swiss players, encouraged by their manager, are back in gear and will have to prove themselves on their home turf.
Away team locker room.
Domenech's spirit was clearly good, and Thierry Henry's first-half goal upset the balance. In the second half, the Swiss team, who had no way out, were sure to launch a ferocious attack. He had to find a solution.
'Pay attention to their full-backs involved in assists, the two wings have a heavy task. Domenech's tone was aggravated: "However, no one can help you. The main task of Makelele and Vieira is to be in front of the penalty area, and they must not be allowed to attack from the front. ”
"The first thing we have to do is to defend, intercept their attacks, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack. Fight back quickly! That's our attacking strategy in the second half! ”
"The longer we hold on to the 1-0 scoreline, the more chances we have to fight back quickly!"
Speaking of this, Domenech also deliberately glanced at Tang Jue, Tang Jue is a master of rapid counterattacks, and his unrivaled speed is his sharpest weapon.
Domenech is planning the second half of the game. The game is a battle of wits and courage, and when Kuhn was at halftime, what he had to do was to inspire the courage of his players, and he had to fight. And Domenech guessed Kuhn's arrangement, he was fighting his wit!
The second half started as arranged by the two managers.
The momentum of the Swiss team was monstrous, and they began an almost frantic attack amid the shouts of the home fans, and the two full-backs frequently stepped forward to assist, and the French team was in a hurry on the wing!
Like a tank, the Swiss team ran over the French team in the half!
Makelele and Vieira were at odds, with the Swiss not attacking from the middle at all. What should they do? After a short period of negotiation, the two decided to stay in the middle and assist in the wings. That's what makes the two wings feel a little better.
However, this is only a little better, thanks to the assistance of the two full-backs, the Swiss team relied on the numerical advantage, and gradually tore apart the French team's side defense, and the rumbling artillery fire started from the two wings of the French team, and went straight to the penalty area!
Frey, who is from Rennes, was unusually active after Don's goal, and he decided to compete with Tang Jue on his doorstep. Last season, in Ligue 1, he fell behind across the board. Today he is going to challenge Tang Jue.
So he aroused pride in his chest and planted the banner on the walls of the French team. In the fourth minute of the second half, he received a pass from the wing in the box and leaned on Thuram to shoot fiercely, almost breaking the door of Kupe.
Under the ferocious attack of the Swiss team, the French team had to play a defensive counterattack. Tang Jue had a chance in the seventh minute of the second half. He received a pass from Patrick Vieira near the centre circle and a beautiful Parisian spin saw Don shake off Vogel next to him.
Tang Jue was about to launch a sharp attack, where would Vogel give him a chance, his center of gravity fell, and he knocked Tang Jue to the ground with one kick. The French players took advantage of the opportunity to launch a siege on Voger. The Swiss attack was too ferocious and they had to take advantage of this opportunity to catch their breath.
The referee settled the altercation with a yellow card.
Under Zidane's control, the pace of the French team's attack was very slow. They're going to kill time. Make your opponent frizzy. The Swiss team could not be fooled, they patiently played with the French team.
However, once they control the football, they will pick up the tempo of the attack. One fast and one slow. You can tell the mood of both sides by controlling the speed of the ball.
On the one hand, the French team stubbornly blocked the almost frantic attack of the Swiss team. On the one hand, after getting the ball, launch a quick counterattack.
Tang Jue seems to have returned to last season's Saint-Germain. At that time, Saint-Germain had limited strength, and they had to play defensive counter-attacks on a regular basis, and the manager was attacked by the French football legends at the time. Say they play Italian football.
At that time, Tang Jue was undoubtedly the sharpest knife of Saint-Germain, and he used his speed and skill to tear through the opponent's defense again and again and send the ball into the opponent's goal.
In the nineteenth minute of the second half, Tang Jue counterattacked with the ball in the midfield, and this time he did not carry the ball himself, but passed the football to Henry who was not far away. After passing the ball, Tang Jue was like a cheetah, heading towards the opponent's hinterland.
After getting the ball, Henry made a sharp breakthrough. Ronnie once said that Henry's breakthrough technique is one of the best strikers in his eyes, and at this moment Henry has taken his technique to the extreme.
After some dazzle, Henry actually tore through the Swiss team's defense along the sideline. Just when the left central defender of the Swiss team thought that Henry would break through to the penalty area, Henry made a sharp stop, stopped the football, and passed the football to Zidane.
Just when the football was still two meters away from Zidane, Tang Jue began to accelerate, got rid of Voger behind him, and began to drill into the Swiss team's penalty area!
Since it was a frantic attack, the Swiss team would have fewer defenders at the back, and at this time, only the Swiss team's left central defender Behrami was defending in the middle of the penalty area.
As if telepathically, Zidane did not stop the ball, but passed it directly. Volger, who was thrown by Tang Jue, fell his center of gravity, and since he couldn't keep up with Tang Jue's footsteps, he wanted to use his own tackle to destroy!
A white light flashed, Zidane's pass was as precise as a scalpel, and the football actually flew three centimeters in front of Worgher's toes, and it was almost at Tang Jue's feet in an instant.
At this time, Behrami on his right side is running towards him quickly, and if Tang Jue catches the ball with his right foot, then Behrami will get infinitely close to him. What a Tang Jue, with a collar of his right foot, the whole body came to a 180-degree rotation!
The chic and beautiful pull ball turned around, and ushered in the cheers of the French fans in the stands!
Swiss fans feel like they're dying!
After turning around, Tang Jue didn't give Behrami a chance at all, not even a chance to foul. With his left foot out, he quickly approached the goal. Two steps later, Tang Jue shot angrily!
In the blink of an eye, the football was already in the goal!
Henrik? Hilario shouted quickly and loudly: "The ball is in!" The ball is in! France leads 2-0! ”
"It was a successful quick counter-attack for France, and all three attacking players did their job brilliantly. Don delivered the fatal blow, and for him, it was perfect for the game. An assist, a goal, he's the key man in the game! ”
"He's on his way to superstardom! Now, no one can stop him from moving forward! ”
"Leading 2-0, the French team has one foot in the German World Cup! The victory in this game means a lot to the French team! ”
Henrik? Hilario was already celebrating the victory in advance, and he thought that France should have no problem winning this game, 2-0, and until now in the qualifiers, there is no team that can penetrate the French goal twice in one game!
French fans, who thought the same way as him, began to sing and dance in front of the television, in bars and in the stands.
It seems that in their opinion, the hard-fought and torturous World Cup qualifiers are finally over, and the next game of the French team will be at home to Cyprus, and there is no reason for their team to lose.
They can finally put their nerves down and watch the game. (To be continued......)
