Teams from Asia, Africa and America flew to Germany before the game, and they had to adapt to the German climate in advance. Most of the European teams were still training in their own country.

As the World Cup approaches, more and more fans are pouring into Germany. They come here in advance to enjoy the German scenery, taste German beer, and watch the training of their favorite teams. Brazil's training has attracted the attention of many fans and media, and the stars are shining. This is a team called the most powerful team in Brazil's history.

The World Cup is also a grand event for the media. A large number of media reporters came to Germany. The media battle began before the game, and various news was presented to fans through the media.

"Ronaldinho doesn't go home at night, and drinks with his beautiful girl in the bar!"

"Nesta left the team due to a waist injury, and Italy lost the central defender!"

"Raul had an argument with Aragonese training!"

...

The French team trained in France in a low-key manner, and Tang Jue's condition has recovered to 70%. In addition to regular training, he is also training his secret weapon - free kick. According to Xiao Feifei's evaluation, his goal rate in the game has increased to 30%. Tang is definitely very satisfied with this result.

On June 7, the French team welcomed its third opponent in the warm-up match - the Chinese team. The game location was the Giofiloli Quiccard Stadium in Saint-Etienne.

During the warm-up, Tang Jue took the initiative to come to the Chinese team's half and shook hands with head coach Zhu Guanghu. Tang Jue shook hands with several Chinese team players and hugged them.

...

Tang Jue finally started, and he partnered with Henry. The players in the midfield and backcourt were the same as those in Denmark. This was the first time in three warm-up matches. Tang Jue, Henry and Zidane started at the same time. After the game, French media believed that Domeneke wanted to test the power of the "Three Musketeers" and make final preparations for the upcoming World Cup.

The competition begins on time at 3:00 pm.

The French team took advantage of their strength to firmly control the midfield. Under Zidane's dispatch, the French team launched an attack on the Chinese team from two sides. In the fifth minute, Henry got a shot opportunity. Under Zhao Xuri's blocking, Henry's shot hit the side net.

Henry's shot opened the prelude to the French team's offense. In the 12th minute of the first half, Zidane made a wonderful pass in front of the penalty area and stuffed the ball into the penalty area. Tang Jue rushed up like lightning. As soon as he took two steps, he was knocked down by Ji Mingyi. The penalty kick was taken. Ji Mingyi received a yellow card.

Zidane is the first candidate for the French team's penalty kick. The referee whistle sounded. Zidane jogged slowly towards the football. "Bang!" A crisp sound, and after the crisp sound, the football flew to the left of the goal. Chinese goalkeeper Li Leilei bravely saved Zidane's penalty kick out of the sideline.

Zidane's penalty kick was not scored, and the French team was not too frustrated. They continued to put more pressure on the Chinese team. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Tang Jue broke through Zhao Xuri in front of the penalty area. Just as Ji Mingyi was about to step forward to block the ball, he passed the ball to Henry.

After getting the ball, Henry suddenly passed the ball into the penalty area facing Xu Yunlong who was rushing up, and the ball passed through Ji Mingyi. The French fans on the sidelines were excited. In Milan, Tang Jue and Ronnie are a pair of golden partners, and they often assist the opponent in the game. Now Tang Jue and Henry have also established a connection in the game.

Tang Jue ran towards the football like lightning, and he wanted to score his first goal in the warm-up match. At this time, left central defender Zhang Yaokun was almost on the same parallel line as Tang Jue. When Tang Jue raised his right foot to prepare for a shot, Zhang Yaokun's center of gravity dropped, and he wanted to block Tang Jue's shot with his foot!

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, Tang Jue kicked the football hard on the right foot, and the football flew towards the left side of the goal like a sharp arrow!

The brave Li Leilei saved Zidane's penalty kick ten minutes ago. At this moment, he pushed the ground hard on the outside of his right foot, and rushed out like a hungry tiger. With a "puff!", Li Leilei blocked the football outside the door!

The football rebounded into the penalty area, and Henry on the left suddenly started and he wanted to make a follow-up shot. After two arrows, Henry's right foot kicked the football. Li Leilei was not a world-class goalkeeper, and his second reaction was not that fast. At this moment, he was still on the turf. Blinking his eyes, the football penetrated into the net. The French team led by 1-0.

This is Henry's fourth goal in three warm-up matches. Henry seemed very calm after the goal. Perhaps the Chinese team's strength is too far from that of the French team, and he thinks there is no need to be excited. Tang Jue still failed to break the goal drought.

With the score behind, the Chinese team launched a counterattack. Thirty-five minutes in the first half, Zheng Zhi shot from a long distance in front of the penalty area, completing the Chinese team's first shot. The football flew out of the baseline two meters outside the left post.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, France received a corner kick opportunity, and Toulam beat Ji Mingyi and pushed the ball into the goal. France led 2-0 and ended the first half with this score.

The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. In the first minute, Tang Jue almost broke through the goal. Maluda took over Zidane's pass and broke through the sideline. He passed the ball five meters away from the baseline and sent the ball into the penalty area. Tang Jue took a step forward and leaned against Ji Mingyi and pushed the ball. However, Li Leilei blocked the ball out of the baseline again.

Obviously, Li Leilei wanted to prove himself in front of Tang Jue. Tang Jue shook his head, and the feeling of shooting was still not at its best.

One minute later, Xu Yunlong made a cross from the right, Zheng Zhi made a wonderful pass from the front point, but Han Peng missed the opportunity slightly. In the seventh minute of the second half, the Chinese team made beautiful passes and cooperated continuously. Zheng Zhi made a wonderful pass on the left, and Tao Wei cut from the bottom and tripped by Turam, but the referee did not give a penalty. In the 12th minute of the second half, the Chinese team cleared the corner kick in the backcourt, and Hao Junmin failed to pass the cross from the cross in a fast counterattack, but Zhao Xuri missed the opportunity.

In the 20th minute of the second half, Zidane made a long pass from the backcourt. Tang Jue flew like an arrow on the right, stretched his right foot to remove the ball. Just as he was about to throw away Zhao Junzhe beside him at speed, Zhao Junzhe made a flying tackle and kicked Tang Jue hard on his support leg with his right foot. Tang Jue fell to the ground with a bang.

Tang Jue endured the severe pain and did not scream. Domeneck, who was standing in the command area, suddenly felt his heart sank. The World Cup was about to begin, if...

The French players quit and they surrounded Zhao Junzhe. Seeing that the conflict was about to happen, the referee quickly took out a red card to resolve the conflict.

Domenek replaced Tang Jue with Cice, and the team doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check Tang Jue's injury. Tang Zheng shook his head at the team doctor, saying that his injury was not serious. After falling to the ground, he asked Xiao Feifei to check his injury. Xiao Feifei told him that the lateral collateral ligament of the ankle joint was torn by 12%, and he could completely recover in two days by pressing his recovery ability.

Zhao Junzhe's flying tackle made the gunpowder smell stronger and stronger. Some people kept falling on the turf. Domeneck had to replace Zidane with Ribery and replace Henry with Trezeguet. He didn't want to lose his players at this time. In the 2002 World Cup, due to Zidane's injury, the defending champion was eliminated in the group stage. Domeneck didn't want this tragedy to happen again.

However, what he didn't expect was that the tragedy still happened. In the 30th minute of the second half, when Xisai broke through on the right, he was kicked by Zheng Zhi and hit the right heel. Xisai fell to the ground in pain and was replaced by Virtod. After Xisai got off the court, she received treatment on the sidelines for about ten minutes. Finally, she was carried on the stretcher and was carried on an ambulance. Tang Jue was also followed by him into the ambulance. The two were taken to the hospital.

In the 35th minute of the second half, the Chinese team counterattacked. Zheng Zhi broke through on the right side of the penalty area and was tripped by Abidal. The referee awarded a penalty kick. Zheng Zhi scored a low shot, and the score became two-to-one. Before the end of the game, Vertod got Ribery's cross from the penalty area, which was achieved in one go, locking the score at three-to-one.

In a warm-up match, the two-yuan general was injured. Domeneck was filled with sadness, and their injuries were unknown. After leaving the field in a hurry, Domeneck rushed to the hospital without even attending the press conference.

Cice was seriously injured and could not participate in the World Cup. Domeneck recruited Manchester United teenager Saha urgently into the team. In Domeneck's mind, Cice and Henry are a forward choice. Cice was on the left and Henry played center. Now this choice is scrapped.

In the three warm-up matches, Henry was undoubtedly the best performer in the forward line, scoring four goals. Tang Jue's performance was not in line with the titles of Serie A and Champions League scorer. He lost all three games and only received one assist. The satirical sarcasm of the Spanish media flew everywhere, and even the team expressed concerns about Tang Jue's status.

The British Daily Mail summarized the French team's three warm-up matches:

Perhaps even Domeneck himself has no clear goal or answer. Can such an old French national team achieve good results in the German World Cup? France defeated Mexico, Denmark and China in three warm-up matches. Judging from the training and competition process, France's condition is really average.

Winning three warm-up matches cannot cover up the fact that the French team is in poor form. The most obvious of these is that Don, the top scorer in the qualifiers, failed to score a goal in three games, and was in a terrible state.

The French media affirmed France's results in the warm-up match, but they didn't expect much to achieve good results in the German World Cup.

France is too old, and the average age of the starting lineup of the French warm-up match is as high as over 30 years old!

Old age is not only reflected in the intuitive numbers of age, but also magnified by the players' state on the court. In the warm-up match against Mexico, Denmark and China, Zidane has revealed such information. He is exhausted and seems to be difficult to become the engine of the team's offense. Most of the time, he has to retreat to the midfield, and after getting the ball, he rarely reappears the magical dribbling of the past. Zidane, who is approaching 34, repeatedly claims that he has completely entered the state, but there is obviously a clear gap between wishes and reality.

Historical data shows that except for Brazil in 1962, no other team has been able to rely on a group of 30-year-old veterans to win the World Cup. After Yake, Le Mail and Santini both regarded the 1998 champions as the core force in forming the team.

Therefore, the average age of France is nearly 30 years old, which became the "peak" period of France's average age after World War II. But the problem now is that an excellent team should be between 25 and 27 years old. How can France, with such a high average age, achieve good results in Germany?

In three warm-up matches, France scored more goals in each game than the other, but the role of the striker was not outstanding. Except for Henry, other players performed mediocrely. The new Serie A and Champions League scorer king, the best player Don, did not score a goal in three games and was in a sluggish state.

Cice's accidental injury reduced Domeneck a striker partner. In his blueprint, he would rather use Henry as the center and then let Cice break through on the wing to create opportunities. However, Cice was seriously injured in the game against China and was confirmed to miss the World Cup in Germany, so Domeneck had to change the team.

The Sun said that Domenech is likely to allow Don and Henry to serve as double arrows in the World Cup in Germany, and such a forward configuration has always been what the French media hopes for.

In the Chinese team game, Domeneck let the "three musketeers" start at the same time, but in the game, the three did not show the tacit understanding that people expected. Perhaps, this still takes time to test whether Domeneck can copy Ancelotti's "terror trio."

In preparation for the first warm-up match of the World Cup, France defeated Mexico 1-0 at Saint-Denis; in the second warm-up match of Lons, France defeated Denmark 2-0; and in the last warm-up match, France defeated China 3-1 at Saint-Etienne. Such a performance should be commendable, but are the six goals satisfying?

The Sun concluded that France's attacking strength should be very strong, but the team could never convert these advantages into goals. Just like in a match with China, France had a clear advantage in the whole game of ball control, but in the end the team only scored three goals, wasting at least three goals. How can such attack power satisfy French fans?

Many French media pointed out that France's main problem now is not on the front line, but on Toulam. It is understandable since he is not as good as before. Why is this hero who won the 1998 World Cup in France in Juventus at the risk of becoming a substitute in Juventus. Although he did not conced the ball in the warm-up match against Mexico and Denmark, France lost the ball in the match against China!

This is a bit incredible because China is the weakest among these three warm-up opponents. AFP pointed out that if Domeneck does not reorganize the team's defense, it will be more difficult for France to not concede goals in the game against strong teams.

In addition, French players do not seem to be very harmonious. Butters and Cupei are good examples. Although from the competitive state, Cupei is obviously better than Butters, the latter has "supported" by Zidane and others, so he firmly took the position of the main goalkeeper of the national team.

For this, Cupei even left the training camp for a while, but under the persuasion of the assistant coach, Cupei returned to the French national team. The Paris Daily said that although Domeneque is the head coach, he often needs to look at the faces of some veterans in the team. How can such a "ununity" French national team achieve good results in Germany?

...

On June 8, British Gambling announced the latest championship odds. Brazil, England and Argentina still ranked in the top three, and the French team dropped from fourth to seventh. Even French fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the French team. A survey showed that nearly 50% of fans had no confidence in France's championship.

The team newspaper analyzed that this is inseparable from Tang Jue's performance. The sluggish state made French fans disappointed him. Tang Jue was originally a capital that French fans were proud of.
