The Vuvuzzula at the Cape Town Stadium rang out loud, and the fans on both sides became agitated as the game began. The shouts came and went, and the flags fluttered.

France, an experienced team in the tournament, went on a furious attack on Uruguay from the start of the game, taking advantage of the early stages of the game when their opponents were not on a firm footing to find the back of the net.

In the third minute of the opening game, Ribery cut inside and shot hard from outside the penalty area, and the football went straight to the near corner like a cannonball!

Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera took a leap and made a thrilling save to get the ball off the line.

In the seventh minute, Ribery broke through Victorino on the left and crossed, but Henry missed a chance on the edge of the six-yard box and the ball slid wide of the far corner.

In the tenth minute, Diaby shot from 30 yards, but the ball went wide of the goal.

In the twelfth minute, Patrice Evra was booked for a tactical foul after losing the ball in midfield, bringing down Diego Perez. Lloris then got a high ball away, but he turned back in time to confiscate it.

This goal shocked the French fans into a cold sweat, is there a tradition in the butter hand of the French goalkeeper?

In the 14th minute, Gourcuff headed in a French corner and Thierry Henry nodded in front of the goal, but Suarez blocked it on the edge of the six-yard box.

In the 16th minute, Gourcuff crossed from the right and Ribery headed wide from 12 yards.

France attacked for more than ten minutes without scoring a goal, and after Uruguay stubbornly withstood the opponent's attack, they gradually adapted to the rhythm, and the two sides returned to balance.

The two sides come and go, looking for a killing opportunity.

In the nineteenth minute, Gonzalez passed. Forlan shook off Gallas and fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box on the left that was saved by Lloris.

In the 22nd minute, Maxi Pereira fouled Ribery on the wing, and Gourcuff's free-kick from the left flank was shot from a tight angle, and Muslera flew to save the near corner.

In the 27th minute, Tulalang passed the ball and Gourcuff's left-footed long-range shot from 30 meters was slightly high.

Players from both sides of the pitch fought fiercely, looking for a lethal opportunity, and the fans on both sides shouted loudly off the pitch that they wanted to shout out the passion they had accumulated for four years.

As the game progressed, the French fans saw their players squandering chances. I can't help but think of that black hair. So someone began to yell Tang Jue's name:

"Don!"

"Don!"

"Don"

……

At this time, thousands of miles away, in a village in Sichuan, southwest China, the time was half past two in the morning. Summer bugs chirp. People almost all fall asleep. In such an ordinary village in China. There are very few fans, and even if the Chinese team reaches the World Cup finals, it will not arouse their interest.

But there is one house where the lights are bright.

Tang Jue's grandfather and grandmother. Sitting in the middle of the sofa in the living room, sitting upright, with cloudy eyes, I watched the TV screen seriously, and the match between France and Uruguay was being broadcast live on the TV.

The two old men heard that their grandson was in a difficult period now, and a group of people wanted to find ways to attack their grandson, and they were very anxious.

The fairy-like granddaughter-in-law ran away. The two old men lamented that today's young people are too impetuous, and those who are not married break up at every turn, and those who are married divorce at every turn.

They know that their grandson has a lot of ability and a lot of money, and they are not so worried about their girlfriends, but it is a pity that the girl who is like a fairy is no longer their granddaughter-in-law.

is working hard alone, and there is no way for the family to help. They decided to show their support in their own way, so they sat in front of the TV and cheered on their grandson.

It doesn't matter if you can't read a football game, just see your grandson on TV. However, they did not see their grandson after the game started, and the commentator made it clear that his grandson was in the whirlpool of public opinion, and the French coach did not let him play in order to protect him.

They don't understand what the whirlpool of public opinion means, but the whirlpool does. The big river more than a dozen miles away rose in the summer, and there were many whirlpools, and from time to time people drowned, and they knew how powerful the whirlpools were.

Saying this, the grandson's condition was very bad and dangerous, and the two old men were even more worried.

However, that manager is not bad, he is protecting his grandson. In this way, foreigners should have good people and people who care about their grandchildren.

Tang Yuantian glanced at the two old men who were sitting precariously, a little unbearable, and said, "It's late, you go to sleep." ”

Tang Jue's grandfather continued to stare at the TV and said, "We don't sleep, we want to sleep, you go to sleep." ”

Tang Yuantian stopped talking, he knew that his father had a very strong temper, and no one could stop him.

At this time, the voice of the commentator came to the TV: "The French team has been unable to open the situation for a long time, and the French fans have begun to chant Tang Jue's name, hoping that the first person in today's football can be put on the field." We believe Domenech can't keep him on the bench all the time......"

When the two old men heard their grandson's name, their cloudy eyes brightened a little.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle sat together, the eldest uncle fell asleep more and more, he couldn't understand football, and the second uncle was even more simply and fell asleep directly.

……

In a high-end residential area in Paris, France, Wen Ting sat on the bed and looked at the notebook on her lap, which was broadcasting the match between France and Uruguay live.

Since that night, she has changed from a girl to a woman. She has no regrets about what happened that night, if she has to find a man, she would rather that man be Tang Jue.

There are no regrets, but that doesn't mean she doesn't feel guilty. She feels sorry for Alice and feels like a third party who has ruined other people's feelings.

In addition, she knew the importance of the World Cup to a professional player, so she sent that message to Tang Jue, hoping that he would not be psychologically burdened.

Now the players on both sides of the field are playing hotly, and Tang can only sit on the bench. He was such a proud man, and she knew that he must be extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

Then her heart was also troubled.

……

In the presidential suite of a luxury hotel in New York, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and extremely beautiful appearance sat in the living room watching TV. At this time, the TV camera was focused on Tang Jue on the bench, and there was no expression on his face. But she saw a faint sorrow between his brows.

This man used to be her most beloved, of course, now she loves him deeply, but she can't accept that unbearable scene.

Looking at this incomparably familiar face, looking at the sorrow between her eyebrows, her heart ached. If that hadn't happened, he wouldn't be sitting on the bench now, but would be roaming the pitch in high spirits......

"Are you waiting for me to forgive you?"

"What woman can endure the betrayal of her man...... I'm not a saint, just an ordinary woman, a longing for love. I want to be the only one in my man's mind. ”

"I won't forgive you!"

……

The French team is still squandering chances.

Thirty-fifth minute. Ribery crosses from the flank, and Henry stands on the line of the box with his back to goal, leaning on Uruguayan centre-back Victorino. Knock back with one kick. Diaby stepped forward. Shoot hard!

A white light shone brightly. The soccer ball slid out of the door.

In the 41st minute, Tulalang made a steal at the back, and a big foot launched a quick counterattack. Henry gets rid of Maxi Pereira. In the face of the attacking Muslera, shoot with one shot!

The air in Cape Town suddenly became tense, and it was the best chance for France to score so far in the game.

Will the ice be broken this time?

The football flew over Muslera's head as the French fans were about to cheer.

"Pong! ......", the ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

The cheers in the throats of the French fans turned into huge sighs, and the Uruguayan fans were covered in cold sweat, and their faces slowly returned to normal. Henry, who missed the opportunity to break the goal, covered his face in frustration and knelt on the turf......

In the VIP seat, Platini shook his head and sighed. Seamus sighed and said: "Without Don, the French team ......"

However, Tang Jue, who is in the whirlpool of public opinion, must have a good performance on the field, and he will definitely be able to break the deadlock?

Platini exhaled a long breath and said objectively: "Even if Don is on the field, if he doesn't adjust his mentality, it will be difficult to make a difference." For a team to have the strength to win the championship, what is needed is the collective performance of the whole team, and it cannot rely on the amazement of one player alone. ”

That's right, football is a team sport and you have to rely on the whole. Even if Real Madrid has monopolized the Champions League in the past three seasons, in addition to Tang Jue's amazement, the other players are also very good. Casillas, for example, makes great saves, such as Kaka, in addition to organizing attacks, often uses long-range shots to break the opponent's goal.

President of the French Football Federation, Gram? Seamus said, "But...... However, a team like the French team, without a core, where does it have the strength to compete for the title? You were a testament to that, and Zidane was a testament to that. ”

Platini said: "Don's status is unknown, so you're worried right now? ”

"It's useless to worry. Ball King ...... The title of King of the Ball is not something that everyone can get, you have to go through countless difficulties and overcome them. For Tang, this time it was very difficult, and it was not a test. ”

"It's like the Spanish derby, whoever can step past each other can dominate La Liga and even win the Champions League. If Don can withstand this test, he will be able to achieve his title of king of the ball, and if South Africa successfully defends his title, no one will question his title again. ”

President of the French Football Federation, Gram? Seamus asked strangely: "It stands to reason that you know him very well, you should be able to judge whether he can resist this time." Why ......"

Platini said with a smile: "I haven't experienced this again, how do I know how much psychological pressure he is." ”

The sudden departure of the beloved girlfriend must have been a big blow, coupled with the media's random speculation and ridicule, ordinary people have long fallen. Tang did not appear in the warm-up match, and no one knows what his current state is and whether his temper will become irritable.

There is media speculation that Tang Jue has now collapsed, so Domenech has been putting him on the bench. The absence of him in the starting line-up for this game is even more so.

"He'll play in the second half anyway, we'll see." Platini cursed his smile, worry appearing between his brows.

As the referee's whistle blew, the first half ended.

ESPN said: "The dull first half was over, the defending champions didn't show their quality to defend their titles, and they wasted chances again and again. We hope both sides will surprise us in the second half! ”

France Télévisions said: "It was a long time to open up the situation, and the fans in the stadium shouted Don's name, hoping that he could come on the field and change the situation on the field. But out of the Tang in the whirlpool of public opinion, what is the state? (To be continued......)
