At half past six, players from both sides returned to the locker room. At this moment, the nobles in the VIP seat were already sitting, UEFA President Platini and French Football Association President Ke Simo.

This French legendary star who just attended the opening ceremony a few hours ago appeared in the stadium. Although Platini was in a high position, he was a Frenchman, so he appeared at the Cape Town Stadium.

When he came to the Cape Town Stadium, he wanted to take action to tell the French team that I am here to cheer for you. He knew that the French team needs encouragement and support now.

The French team is not in a good situation now, the number one star is trapped in a whirlpool of public opinion, and the team's atmosphere is not very good. The French team is similar to the Zidane era, and a person's performance can determine the performance of a team.

Tang Jue is undoubtedly the spiritual leader of this French team, a powerful weapon for this team to attack cities and villages, and can even be described as magical tools. His mental state will affect other players, and his competitive state will affect the team's strength and performance.

After attending the opening ceremony and watching the opening game, Platini came to the Cape Town Stadium without stopping. He wanted to see Tang Jue's condition with his own eyes. If the French team's number one star was really not in good condition, he even decided to go to the French locker room after the game.

As a Frenchman, he hopes that his country's team will achieve good results in the World Cup.

"How is his spirit lately?" asked Platini.

He looked at the fans wearing French team's traditional blue jerseys on the court, and his expression was a little dazed. More than 20 years ago, he was wearing the blue jersey and fighting for the French team. Under his leadership, in the 1982 World Cup and 1986 World Cup, France reached the semi-finals twice in a row, but failed to win the championship.

However, no one can erase his contribution to French football. Under his leadership, the French team gradually became a world-class team, laying a solid foundation for winning the local championship in 1998.

"It's very silent, I'm a little worried." Ke Simo said worriedly.

As the defending champion, the French team was regarded as a favorite to win the championship before the game. Putting aside the defending champion, the French team is also full of confidence in this World Cup.

Now this French team is a team that combines new and old, mature and energetic. This team has famous stars like Tang Jue and Ribery who have become famous long ago. They are in their year of playing. They also participated in the last World Cup and have rich experience in the competition.

Simply put, they are both energetic and experienced. They are an important guarantee for the team to achieve good results.

In addition, the old and strong Touram, Marklele, and the former Arsenal King Henry, are the teams that have always been intimidating. You should know that these people have experienced countless competition tests, and when the battle is in a stalemate or the situation is not good, they can stabilize the morale of the army.

However, after the report of The Sun came out, everything changed. The French captain, the world's number one star, Tang Jue fell into a whirlpool of public opinion. This time it was not imposed by the outside world, but a change in his family, and his beloved girlfriend left without saying goodbye!

God, at this important moment, any small thing may affect the player's mentality, let alone the big thing that involves the relationship between men and women. Coupled with the promotion of some media, Tang Jue became a playboy and a man who steals fishy behavior. This not only has a huge impact on his personal image, but also on the image of the French team.

The French fans who had always been unsatisfied with Tang Jue took the opportunity to rise up and shouted that Tang Jue was not worthy of being the captain of the French team and should even be fired directly.

Domeneke and the French Football Association are not idiots, and they will definitely not listen to the opinions of those fans. But it is undeniable that this incident casts a shadow on the French and South Africa World Cup.

So the French team was covered with dark clouds.

"Can he stand it?" asked Ksimo.

This question is very strange. It is logical that Platini should have asked this question. But neither of them found it strange because Platini was once a famous star and he had a more accurate grasp of the players' mentality.

Platini did not answer positively and said with a sharp look: "With the cross, he will truly be invincible with the world. If he can't cross the cross... we can only wait for the next World Cup."

Invincible in the world?

This is a bit big. Football is a team project. Can one person’s excitement be invincible in the world?

Ke Simo pursed his lips tightly and didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. It was not that he thought there was something wrong with Platini's invincibility, but that he didn't know how to communicate next.

At the club level, players like Tang Jue are definitely the targets for the giants. If the value is there, ordinary teams, even if they are not top giants, can’t afford it. In a giant, there are world-class players around them, and it is completely possible that they are invincible in the world.

Since he transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Milan, he has begun to compete for Europe. After arriving at Real Madrid, he has dominated La Liga and Champions League for three consecutive seasons.

At the national team level, France does not lack talented players, but what it lacks is a core. Whether it is the Platini era, Zidane era, or even the current Tang Jue era, as long as there is a core, the French team has the ability to compete for the world.

Invincible in the world is nothing more than empty talk.

Platini suddenly smiled and turned to look at the French Football Association chairman beside him and said, "I remember that he seems to have encountered such a situation many times. Two years ago, the harsh environment was almost the same as compared to this time."

Ke Simo raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, he can cross it!"

In the European Cup in 2008, Anelka insulted Domeneke, which made the French team shame and greatly damaged its image. Driven by the anti-Tang League and some French media, Tang Jue became the driving force behind the incident. At that time, the French captain became the "cancer" and "conspirator" in the mouths of some media.

So many people were not optimistic about the French team, but Tang Jue stubbornly withstood the pressure of public opinion and scored goals one by one to lead the French team to continue to advance. Finally, he defeated the German team in the final and won the European Cup.

Tang Jue helped the French team to regain his feat of winning the World Cup and winning the European Cup. At the same time, he also achieved himself as the captain and won the first major championship, proving his leadership ability.

So this time, can he get through?

Platini still did not answer positively: "You can see the clues in this game."

...

The French locker room is full of anticipation, tension and worry. The World Cup is the highest stage in the world of football and the most sacred stage in the heart of a player. Having the honor of being in the World Cup was a professional player’s dream, and today, they will step on this stage for the first time or again.

So they were expecting and nervous.

All French players know that this French team has long been deeply imprinted by Tang Jue, and he is the spiritual leader of the entire team. Almost everyone is looking forward to it. He can lead the team to regain the glory of four years ago and raise the Hercules Cup. However, who would have thought that this spiritual leader was trapped in a whirlpool of public opinion at this important moment.

So they were worried.

Domeneck coughed twice and began to arrange the starting lineup: "Goaler: Loris; defender: Sarnia Galas Turam Evra; midfielder: Turalang, Marklele, Gurkuf Diabi; forward: Ribery, Henry."

Henry patted Tang Jue on the shoulder and said nothing. Evra looked at the coach incredibly.

Tang didn't actually start?

Turam and Maklay looked at each other, with thoughtful eyes in their eyes.

Is this... going to get him to play in the second half?

Is it to protect him?

Tang Jue looked at his toes and smiled bitterly in his heart: Coach, although I know you are in order to protect me, you still underestimated me. Do you think I am not a person who can take it and let it go?

Do you think I don’t even have this little resistance to stress?

Alas... I can't blame you. I have indeed performed a little... a little... decadent these days. Well, I will prove it to you.

"Captain on the field, Henry." Domeneck did not explain why Tang Jue was not allowed to start, and continued: "Tonight is our first game of this World Cup, and everyone knows that the first game is not easy to play."

"You must be cautious in the first half. The pressure on the World Cup is high. You must minimize mistakes. The speed of returning to defense in the middle and front court should be faster..."

After Domeneck finished speaking, Tang Jue knew that as the captain of the team, he should say something. He walked into the middle and first bowed to the players.

"First of all, I apologize to everyone. Recently, due to my reasons, the preparations have been cast a shadow and the team's image has been damaged."

Domeneck nodded slightly, with relief in his eyes. Some players who have joined the French team in the past two years looked at this scene in surprise. This person who was so strong in front of the media is now apologizing to us?

Substitute goalkeeper Mandanda felt warm. This Kinshasa, born in the Kinko Kingo, chose to play for the French team. In the team, Mandanda is nicknamed "French" because he did not choose to play for his birthplace. Mandanda plays for the French Marseille team and is the club's main goalkeeper, and has played for the team more than 100 times so far.

To be honest, he was really not very satisfied with Tang Jue before. The scandals were not too early or late, but they came out before the World Cup started. However, since the other party lowered his posture and apologized to the whole team, it shows that he is sincere to the team.

Forget it, maybe this is really something that the British did on purpose, and the purpose should really be to not want the French team to achieve good results. Well, I... would better forgive him.

Marklelai said loudly: "Don, you don't have to say anything about apologizing. We all know that this is something the British did on purpose..."

Tang Jue interrupted him and said, "No matter what, this matter has an impact on the team, and I should apologize. However, my apology is not to obtain your understanding."

A ray of light shot out from Ribery's eyes, and he knew what Tang Jue would say next.

"What I want to tell you is that I will use my own goals to lead everyone on the highest podium!"

"I'll do what I say!"

Turam couldn't help but scream: "Okay!"

Applause sounded!

"I know why the coach didn't arrange for me to start, he is for my own good."

His words were to reduce his teammates' suspicion of Domeneck. The French coach shook his head with a smile...

"Brothers! The stage has been set up, just wait for us to perform. Then, use our passion and passion to ignite this night!"

At this moment, Tang Jue became a passionate orator. He waved his fists and said loudly: "Tonight is the beginning of a legend!" (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
