Chapter 360: The World Cup in South Africa is coming!

The end of the Champions League marks the end of the season. Real Madrid became the biggest winner, achieving the treble for the first time in a year. For a time, Real Madrid became the hottest team, and Real Madrid was shining with stars and world-renowned.

Cristiano Ronaldo has finally fulfilled his Champions League dream. The new generation of Portuguese superstar, who is infamous as a "traitor", cried with joy after the game, and said in an interview with the media: "I have experienced unity in Real Madrid, there is no dumping here, only a strong brotherhood. It's a very competitive place and you have to be in good shape in training to have a chance to start. ”

'Carlo Ancelotti has created a dressing room with a great atmosphere, he is a coach I respect a lot, he has taught me how to adjust my mentality and go into the game with the mentality of enjoying the game.

"Thanks to my teammates for helping me over the past year and allowing me to adapt to life in Madrid very quickly, and thanks to Don, who gave me a different side of football."

Some people think that he is reflecting Manchester United's poor dressing room relationship, and that the knight's ability to handle the dressing room is not as strong as An Shuaiqiang.

The British media was collectively silent, they had no choice, Real Madrid achieved the treble, and Ronaldo performed well all season, and the chaos in the dressing room of Real Madrid did not appear in their imagination.

Imagine how they could criticize the Manchester United "traitor" in this situation. In order to divert attention, they put a lot of energy into the coverage of the World Cup in South Africa.

……

Since FIFA stipulates that the 2010 World Cup will be hosted by African countries, the five countries vying for the right to host the 2010 World Cup are all African countries. They are: Egypt, Libya, Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia.

On 8 May 2004, Tunisia renounced its bid to host the World Cup because it could not co-host the World Cup with Libya. Libya was disqualified because it only wanted to co-host the World Cup with Tunisia and would not host it alone, and Libya also stated that it would not allow Israel to participate in the World Cup.

On May 15, 2004, at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the International Football Association held in Zurich, Switzerland, South Africa defeated Morocco by 14 votes to 10 to win the right to host the 2010 World Cup, becoming the 16th World Cup host country.

Actually, in 2006. South Africa has a good chance of winning Africa's first World Cup. But in the final round of voting, South Africa lost by one vote to Germany, forcing South Africans to wait another four years.

This is the first time the continent has hosted a World Cup, and there are doubts about their ability. Organize one of the most engaging individual events in the world today.

However. South Africans in preparation for the World Cup. With a lot of enthusiasm and money, all the preparations are carried out in an orderly manner to welcome fans from all over the world with a new look.

The World Cup finals begin on June 11. It ends on July 12 and will take a whole month. Others call this month "World Cup Month".

The quadrennial World Cup is undoubtedly a sporting event in the world today, a feast for fans, or a carnival for fans once every four years.

Especially those fans of the national team who have reached the finals, they count the characteristics of each player in the national team and predict where their national team can go.

The French fans are the most excited and proud, and their captain is the brightest star in world football in recent years, winning the World Footballer of the Year for an unprecedented four consecutive years. In addition, their team won the European Championship two years ago, and the players in the team have a lot of experience in major tournaments.

As the defending champions and Euro 08 winners, France are undoubtedly favourites to win the title.

The Daily Mail was not very happy with the atmosphere, they said: The so-called unprecedented four consecutive years of World Footballer of the Year, it is because there are very few football masters now, if the time goes back to ten years ago, it is absolutely impossible for this to happen.

Ten years ago was the golden age of world football, with many talents and masters, Rooney, Zidane, Figo, Rivaldo...... The stars are shining, everyone is so dazzling, it is impossible to have such a dominant situation in today's football.

As for France becoming the favorite to win the championship, this is a matter of course, but there is a popular saying in football - the hot must die!

We wish the French team to go further, and we wish Don to win his World Cup!

……

The meaning of the Daily Mail is obvious, if Tang Jue was ten years ago, it would never be possible to achieve his great career in that era of masters, and it would never be possible to win the World Footballer of the Year for four consecutive years.

In addition, the big favorites will die, and they are not optimistic that the French team can successfully defend the title.

The World Sports newspaper made a similar comment: the Dutch in '74 were star-studded, and their all-attacking and all-defensive style of play swept the world, and Cruyff was undoubtedly the brightest star of the era, and they fell in the final. In 98, Ronnie was full of scenery and also fell on the field of the final. In '06, Brazil was star-studded, and the Magic Quartet failed to play in Germany.

This shows that the pressure on the favourites is too great, and under the watchful eye of fans around the world, they have an unbalanced mentality and lose in crucial matches.

Compared to 06, the pressure on the ball bully is huge, four years ago the French team was Zinedine Zidane, and now it is his. Four years ago, all the pressure was on Zidane, and the fledgling guy, as long as he can play his level, the team's victory or defeat is not so much pressure for him.

That is, because of too much pressure, during the group stage match with South Korea, Zidane walked directly to the locker room after being replaced, and even kicked the door of the locker room. That is, because of too much pressure, at the critical moment of the final, he failed to control his feelings, and hit Materazzi headfirst, almost regretting it for life.

The current situation of the football tyrant is somewhat similar to that of Ronnie in '98, when he won the championship with Brazil in the United States and led the team to the World Cup in '98 as the team's number one star. The football tyrant won the World Cup with France four years ago, and he led the team to the World Cup as the team's number one star this year.

What Ronnie didn't do, the ball master can do?

……

The questioning of the World Sport newspaper is undoubtedly powerful. Ronnie is recognized as a talented and great striker, and is the representative of strikers in the eyes of fans around the world, especially the post-60s and post-70s, Ronnie is the only striker in their eyes.

Of course, it is impossible for the French media to be silent, and the Paris Daily newspaper countered: The so-called similarity of Don and Ronnie's situation is untenable, in the '94 World Cup in the United States, Ronnie did not play, and in '06 Don was the team's main striker.

He scored eight goals in his first World Cup, the same number as Ronnie in '02, which was Ronnie's best in the '02 World Cup.

More importantly. In the '06 World Cup final, Zinedine Zidane was sent off. When the French team was about to collapse, Don stepped up and killed Italy with a volley that shocked the world.

That is, Don in his first World Cup. Have been baptized. More precisely. He withstood the rigors of the ordeal. He saved France when the team needed him.

And Ronnie's first World Cup was sitting on the bench and watching the World Cup. There is a big difference between the two. In addition, Don not only played in the '06 World Cup, but also participated in the Euro '08 as captain.

Euro 08 was a disaster for the French team, and Anelka had a conflict with coach Domenech before the game, leaving the French team with a burden of shame. In the first game of the group stage, Don was injured and had to miss the second game against the Netherlands. As a result, the French team could only start a life-and-death battle with Italy in the final round.

After a hard-fought way out of the group, they met a strong Spain in the first round. But they were united and made it past Spain to reach the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, they defeated the dark horse Russia without any suspense and met the German team in the final.

The strong Germans were also unable to stop France, who managed to reach the top of Europe, repeating the feat of winning the World Cup in '98 and winning the European Championship two years later.

Having lived through the '06 World Cup and Euro '08, Don is fully mature, and he can handle the rigors of various important competitions.

As for his ability to withstand pressure, Don is superhuman in this aspect, which is the main reason why he has a good performance in heavy competitions. The shining championship trophies fully show that Don can withstand great pressure!

With the publication of this article in the Paris Daily, two factions appeared in the European media, the "anti-Tang faction" dominated by the anti-Tang alliance and the "pro-Tang faction" dominated by the French media.

The World Cup is a feast that attracts the attention of media and fans all over the world. The world's media, large and small, came to South Africa before the start of the World Cup.

Major print media in Europe have even opened columns to report on World Cup-related news. Television media have produced programmes about the main stars of each team and their experiences of qualifying.

The most frequent word in the major sports media is "South Africa World Cup", and they, like the participating teams, are actively preparing.

On 5 June, the French team appeared at the Cape Town airport in South Africa, where more than 100 journalists were waiting for them. When Domenech led the French team's stars to the airport, the crowd of reporters became crowded.

Ahead of Tang Jue is the tall Thuram, the veteran French who has announced that he will retire after this World Cup. In other words, this World Cup is his curtain call, which is the same as Zidane in the 06 World Cup.

Walking on the left side of Tang Jue is Ribery, who transferred to Bayern. To the right of the team is Thierry Henry, a veteran of Real Madrid's Champions League dreams and ready to leave the Bernabeu next season.

In his own words: "I should have taken it easy, the European schedule is too dense and my body and mind can no longer handle it. ”

Ribery stabbed Tang Jue and said worriedly in his ear: "Don, this battle ...... You have to be careful. ”

Tang Jue looked at those excited media reporters, frowned slightly and said, "I've seen more dangerous battles than this...... I can handle it. ”

Why is Tang Jue, who is used to seeing big battles, so strict?

Could it be that he's been in trouble lately?

Let Ribery worry so much. (To be continued......)
