As soon as Givash saw Lao Lei's outstretched thumb and a friendly smile on his face, his face darkened suddenly. He was originally regretting that he had missed the opportunity again, but when he was stimulated by Lao Lei, a resentment suddenly rose in his heart, and he wanted to prove himself more urgently, in order to fight back against Lao Lei's sarcasm and falling into the well. With a dark face, Givash quickly turned his head and stopped looking at Old Ray.

As everyone knows, after he turned around, the "friendly" smile on Lao Lei's face completely turned into a smug smile. From Givash's clenched fists, Lao Lei could feel that his goal had been achieved, and now the French team's forward line will continue to be weak for a while. Some people can burst out with more force after being stimulated, but Lao Lei doesn't think that Jivash is this kind of person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been seen in the World Cup in 02.

When Tafarel re-released the football, Lao Lei's evil smile disappeared all of a sudden, and turned into a sad face. Facing the neat defensive formation of the French team, Lao Lei felt that the roots of his teeth hurt a little. Lao Lei tried to penetrate the French midfield defense through short passes, but was still forced back by the French team's defense. There was no way, Lao Lei began to make a gesture of pulling back towards the two forwards in the front, Rivaldo and Leonardo, narrowing the distance between the lines, first trying to find a way to hit the ball into the French half, and then form a reverse ball in the French half.

This is also fortunate that Brazil's head coach Zagallo is not the kind of coach who is very serious and stubborn, but the kind of coach who is very talkative and likes stars. If it were Capello, Lao Lei's two unauthorized organizations might directly lead to him being replaced, and then the copy would directly end in failure. Because of the current identity of Lao Lei, he is also a long-time veteran in the Brazilian team. has qualifications, so his words still work. Rivaldo and Leonardo's positions retraced. Gave Brazil a new force in the mid-line, and they were too close in their position in the previous period. It was difficult for Lao Lei to form a connection with them.

With Rivaldo and Leonardo, Ray can finally try to break through the French defence in midfield by trying to unleash a quick one-shot shot in small areas. The big-footed pass directly allowed Ronaldo to impact the French backline, and Lao Lei didn't try it. However, France's four defenders looked impeccable in defending high balls, and with Ronaldo and Bebeto not being good at headers, Lao Lei's long pass attempts did not show results. Long passes can't work, Lao Lei can only find a way to infiltrate with short passes.

This period also happened to be the heyday of Rivaldo and Leonardo, who was awarded the title of World Footballer of the Year in '99. And Leonardo has not left any unforgettable memories in the history of Brazilian football. But at this time, he also sat firmly in the position of AC Milan's main defender at that time, and his strength should not be underestimated, not to mention that Leonardo was wearing the No. 10 jersey that symbolized honor and football skills in Brazil at this time.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Lao Lei, Rivaldo, and Leonardo finally played a smooth Brazilian-style cooperation. The three of them form a solid triangle of passes, running to receive the ball while moving forward. The back-to-back combination of Deschamps and Petit was finally penetrated by Brazil in this game. Lao Lei received a backheel pass from Rivaldo before Deschamps came over, and directly picked up the pass into the penalty area. Ronaldo also turned forward in time. Prepare to handle this ball. But this pass was ruined by the French defender again, and Ronaldo did not receive the ball. France's right wing-back Thuram guessed Ray's intentions and made up for it in time. Before Ronaldo receives the ball. A ferocious tackle shovels the ball into Butters' hands, and by the way, brings down Ronaldo on the run.

Although Bebeto raised his hand to signal a foul, he wanted a penalty. But the referee made it clear. It was a clean tackle with no fouls. Old Ray looked at France's four defenders. The heart said that there were really wolves in front and tigers in the back. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. If the midfield line led by Didier Deschamps can be considered first-class, then France's defensive line is undoubtedly the best in the world. Lao Lei's several hard-organized offensives were always blocked by this guard line. Whether it's one-on-one or overall defense, France's back line has done nothing flawless.

However, Lao Lei didn't have time to think about how to break the French defense, and now he had to find a way to face the French attack. Butters quickly unleashed a hand-toss to Deschamps. At this time, Lao Lei was still in the French team's half, and he didn't have time to return to defense, and immediately chose to interfere with Deschamps' first pass to prevent France's counterattack. As the starting point of the French attack, Deschamps was an important link between attack and defence.

In the face of Lao Lei's personal interference, Deschamps, who is not very good at his skills, seemed a little uncomfortable, and did not pass the football out in time, but was entangled by Lao Lei. Deschamps had no choice but to re-pass the football to the back line and re-organize, which gave Lao Lei enough time to return to the defense, so that the French team lost a chance to play a quick counterattack.

After seeing that Lao Lei had returned to the defense in place, the French team could only devote themselves to the positional battle again and slowly look for opportunities. In the 27th minute of the first half, Zidane did not break through again in the face of Lao Lei's close pressing, but directly distributed the ball to the right. Thuram came up with an assist and linked up with Djokaf on the right flank, and the two played a one-two, with Thuram using his speed to beat the aged Dunga. After getting rid of Dunga, he did not choose to continue to move forward and go down in the face of Carlos Thuram, but suddenly played a diagonal pass with Jivash in the penalty area.

However, Givash's running path was firmly stuck behind Bayano, who stabbed the line first and France won a corner. For this result, Lao Lei groaned and immediately entangled Zidane in the penalty area. In fact, Lao Lei is not sure now, although he knows that Zidane scored two headers in this game and needs to focus on defense, but Lao Lei is afraid of taking care of one or the other.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Djokaeff had already taken the corner. Lao Lei firmly stuck Zidane at the front point, denying him a chance to jump and fight for the top. And in the grappling, as a result, neither of the two reached the football. The soccer ball flew over the heads of the two and flew towards the back post. And in the middle, no one has reached the football. The soccer trail is up to the back point. At the back post Brazilian centre-back Bayano missed a man and Djokaeff left unattended on the flight path of the football. With a gentle push on the spot, the ball flew straight from the near post into the gate guarded by Tafarel. At 1:0, France took the lead, as in history.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！ De-Yo-Ka-F!! The header, the golden header, opened the door to victory for the French team. "Scoring first in the World Cup final held on home soil, you can imagine how crazy it was.

Looking at the French players who were celebrating excitedly, Lao Lei was a little helpless. He didn't know that his hunch was so accurate, and he really lost sight of one or the other. In the next game, the defensive-oriented French team can safely adopt defensive counter-attacking tactics. Its strong backline will be a strong support for this tactic. Obviously, Jacques did the same, and after he was excited, he signaled the team to retreat and start to sacrifice anti-counter tactics.

After the restart, Brazil's backline began to press in an attempt to recover the deficit as soon as possible in the first half. However, the increase in the number of people involved in the attack did not bring about a great change in Brazil's attack. In the face of France's highly layered defensive set-up, Brazil's attack is often lackluster, when it has just become a threat or is about to become a threat. The French defence was always able to interrupt or disrupt Brazil's attack. However, the wide gap in the Brazilian half, like a time bomb, did not know when it would detonate.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Lao Lei and Rivaldo formed a wall collision on the left side. After making Petit dizzy. Rivaldo finally had a chance to face the French penalty area. However, just as he was about to accelerate his advance, France's captain Didier Deschamps tackled him directly from behind. As a result, Didier Deschamps received a yellow card, but Brazil lost an attack that threatened to become a huge threat. Once Rivaldo was allowed to reach the penalty area with ease. With Rivaldo's all-round individual ability, once he formed a combination with Ronaldo and Bebeto in the penalty area. There will be a great threat.

Rivaldo, although a little angry, wanted to ask the referee directly for a red card. But in the end, it can only be in vain. The free-kick was about 35 yards from goal, within Carlos' range. In '97, he hit the goal with a shocking free-kick in Brazil's friendly match against France. This time, however, he didn't score another free-kick from that distance and position, and his shot was blocked by Karlumb's back.

Unexpectedly, due to the large amount of Carlos's shots, the bouncing ball drew a high arc and happened to fall within Zidane's control. At this time, Brazil was the most empty time at the back, and after Zidane skillfully led the ball and turned, he began to increase his horsepower to move forward with the ball. Lao Lei was desperately chasing behind Zidane at this time. Zinedine Zidane soon got to the midfield with the ball and Dunga was the first to press it. Facing Dunga, Zidane stepped on the bike very indifferently. Zidane's cycling is not fast, but it is the change of pace.

After pedaling 3 bicycles, I suddenly increased the frequency and flicked the outside of my right foot out, then buckled it in, and skimmed my left ankle inward. The ball rolled past Dunga's left, who was also moving backwards, and Dunga was also shaken by Zidane's two blows to lose his center of gravity, and Zidane also took advantage of this opportunity to accelerate past Dunga. However, Dunga's delay also created an opportunity for the old ray behind, who took advantage of the opportunity to make a sliding tackle on the ground to break the ball out of Zidane's control area.

At this moment, Zidane stepped on the ball with his right foot, then turned 180 degrees with his right foot as the fulcrum, and pulled his left foot one after another. The whole person was like a flying butterfly, lightly and gracefully flashing through Lao Lei's tackle. Old Ray watched Zidane break through himself like a dance, when a sentence suddenly flashed in his mind about the man dancing on the stamp.

Marseille's slalom, the extraordinary move that became famous because of Zidane, appeared in the final. Many people may use Marseille maneuvers, but Zinedine Zidane is undoubtedly the most elegant. Under the gaze of the whole of France, the whole world, he danced and had charming eyes.

And the French commentator's excited "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL" commentary also drew a perfect end to this attack. (To be continued......)
