At 9 a.m. on the 25th, the French team started normal training. After the warm-up activities, they began to fight. The main team was wearing a yellow vest and the substitute was wearing a white vest. Domeneck observed the players' status during training to determine the starting lineup on the 27th.

Zidane is in a very average state. Under his organization, the pace of the main force is as slow as a classic car. This makes Domenek worried. If you don’t let this person play, you will definitely trigger a new round of conflicts. Let him start, this state...

The reporters outside the court also discovered this situation. So on the 26th, the French media held a big discussion. The media was divided into two factions, one faction supported Zidane, while the other faction believed that Zidane should not start. Should Zidane start? It became the thing that France cares most.

Among the "anti-Qi faction", "**" said Zidane may become a burden for the team, and "Liberty" said that it was time for the French team to become younger; Le Figaro, who disagrees: "It is a crime to not allow Zidane to play!". "Le Point" did not get involved. Perhaps they still remember the lessons of being forced to apologize to Yakai in 1998.

"Great players are born for great games!" Le Parisien stood firmly behind Zidane. "Those who criticize Zidane have forgotten his ability on the court." Le Parisien believes that French coach Domeneke obviously also believes that no matter whether he sent Zidane from the bottom of his heart or under pressure, he should have a big gamble this time.

For Zidane now, the most important thing to do is to wait. He also needs to be patient. He may have maintained a slow rhythm for a long time, but when he needs to kick out the key moment, Zidane can still raise his old legs and swing quickly and sharply. For these few seconds of flash, Domeneck should wait for ninety minutes.

How to evaluate Zidane's role depends on what standards you use. Zidane, 34, is no longer the king of football that was the one who dominated the football world back then. If he only stared at his three-step slow steps and pass mistakes, it would be easy to draw a conclusion of "burden".

Zidane's straight pass from behind the opponent has always been the only effective way of attack in France. How many times? French coach Domeneck couldn't help but cheer for his "old man". The young man has passion and vitality, but the "old man" has terrible experience, knowing when to restrain himself and when to fight for his life. He also has to take that step or kick out that step.

The old man Zidane has become a monument. After the game against the South Korean team, he angrily kicked the wooden door of the locker room passage, and the Leipzig people collected the goal, saying that it was to commemorate "the greatest player in the world."

In Zidane's argument, the opposition actually ignored one thing, that is, the influence and motivational role of this veteran on his teammates. On the court, his teammates are willing to fight to make him play one more game. Whether on the court or off the court, he is the best candidate for the French team to stabilize the morale of the army.

Spanish players took advantage of this opportunity to start clamoring in front of the media. They shouted: They would see Zidane off on the evening of the 27th.

Zidane has been regarded as a character in the museum inside and out. Torres said: "We will make this game the last game for Zidane."

Raul even said, "I will go and say goodbye to him because this is his last game."

Faced with the provocation of Spanish players, Zidane said lightly in front of the media: "Retirement? I regret to tell them that I will not retire after this game."

Tang Jue supported Zidane in front of the media: "He will always be the king on the court, and no one can stop him because he is not a lonely battle. He only needs to be in the midfield, with Henry and I charging in front, and Marklele and Toulam behind him."

"Those who said Zidane were the last game were actually insignificant. A generation of midfielders left many classic moments for world football, but they forgot these. I want to use facts to prove how ridiculous what they said now."

"The attack on Zidane is because they are afraid of him. They are afraid that under his command, France will step on Spain and advance to the quarterfinals. I want to tell them that we will meet with Brazil in the quarterfinals. We want to leave a classic and great game in the World Cup, which is not a game against Spain, but a game against Brazil."

"What I am considering now is not to defeat Spain in this way, but to break through Brazil's defense line like this."

Tang Jue's words were very arrogant and did not even take Spain's attention. Almost all French media published what Tang Jue said, and French fans also began to support Zidane, calling on Domeneck to let Zidane start and let Zidane personally teach the Spanish guys who are more than just the world.

Faced with Tang Jue's arrogant words, Raul only said one sentence: "The game on the evening of the 27th will be the end of Tang's first World Cup!"

Torres said: "Tang is a guy who is ignorant of the world. I know how to destroy his arrogance."

Casillas said: "I reiterate my point of view, I will not let him score!"

Ming's provocation against Casillas, Tang Jue couldn't help but say: "I have never played against Real Madrid, so I don't know how powerful he is. It seems that the world's number one goalkeeper is not him today. Buffon is recognized as the world's number one goalkeeper. I can play a big four in San Siro, breaking the goal guarded by Buffon four times, what is the Spanish goal?"

"Hmph! If he is brave enough, he will not shed tears after the game on the 27th!"

In order to prove how powerful he is, Tang Jue took out the game between Milan and Juventus and said that Buffon was the kind of person who was shot while lying down. At this moment, Buffon did not say a word to the media. He was preparing for the upcoming quarterfinals with his teammates.

During the World Cup, the Italian telephone gate became increasingly fierce: On June 8, Borelli, director of the Investigation Office of the Italian Football Association, announced that he would hand over the investigation conclusions to the prosecutors seven days later after the third day of the investigation into the Italian football scandal.

On June 14, Juventus officially announced the appointment of Geely as the club's new chairman, with former chairman Stevens and Boniperti as honorary chairman.

On June 15, the new Italian Football Association chairman Rossi said to the public that he would decide who would face charges around June 22.

On June 20, Borrelli, deputy director of the Italian Football Association's Investigation Office, made it clear that Juventus and AC Milan need to bear the main responsibility in this Italian football scandal, while Lazio and Fiorentina have relatively light responsibilities.

On June 22, the Italian Football Association announced the preliminary investigation results of the scandal, including Juventus, Fiorentina and Lazio who will be prosecuted and demanded relegation, and Juventus' league champion will be deprived of last year. AC Milan's punishment is under investigation.

Before the World Cup began, Buffon and other players were involved in the storm of counterfeiting. Some media revealed that Buffon had participated in gambling. Italian football was in a storm. Italian team, led by Lippi, faced the media silently. These brave men must use their actions to save the image of Italian football.

In the two quarterfinals held on the 25th, England's favorite to win the championship defeated Ecuador and advanced to the quarterfinals with Beckenham's direct free kick.

The game between Portugal and the Netherlands is called the focus battle. The game was very tragic. The referee presented a total of 16 yellow cards and four red cards, of which Portugal won nine yellow cards and two red cards, and the Netherlands won seven yellow cards and two red cards. Before the end of the first half, Portugal's midfielder Costinia was sent off for a total of 2 yellow cards.

The game was very fierce at the beginning, with both sides fighting offensive football. Ronaldo became the main target of the Dutch team. In the fifth minute of the game, Van der Meer dropped Ronaldo and got a yellow card. One minute later, Braruz raised his leg and kicked Ronaldo on his right thigh and received a yellow card. Ronaldo was a little uneasy in running and received an emergency treatment outside the field. The close-up shot gave the blood mark on his thigh.

In the 23rd minute, Portugal took the lead with its first shot. Miguel threw the ball into the right sideline, Deco knocked on Ronaldo, and Ronaldo grabbed the ball from the three defenders to defend the ball and passed it to Deco who was inserted on the side. Deco made a cross from the right, Pauletta pressed the defender with his right foot back, Maniche stopped the ball and avoided Braruz who fell to the ground tackle, and then drove away Oye, and shot with his right foot twelve meters in front of the goal and shot into the right side of the goal. Portugal led 1-0!

With this goal, Portugal finally defeated his rival, the Netherlands 1-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals with difficulty. At the end of the game, Portugal announced that Ronaldo was seriously injured and may miss the quarterfinals. Portugal paid the price for the victory. In addition to Ronaldo, Deco and others also had injuries to varying degrees.

This game made Tang Jue fall into deep thought. In the game against Spain, he will definitely be strictly guarded by the opponent, and even the opponent's shoe nails will greet his legs. Passing the ball seems to be the best choice. Although Puyol did not speak too much in front of the media, it can be imagined that the Spanish defenders now must be discussing how to bring himself down.

The battle of words before the game inspired not only the fighting spirit of both sides, but also the fierceness of the players on both sides. After the match between Portugal and the Netherlands, Zidane, Henry and Don Jue were called to his room by Domeneck.

"I am most worried about your health. The Spanish defenders will definitely learn from the Dutch team's playing style and deal with you fiercely. Especially you!" Domeneck pointed at Tang Jue and said. He looked at Zidane again and said, "They will also deal with you fiercely."

Tang Jue smiled and said, "Coach, I am a steel bar and I am not afraid of their ferocity." Domeneck shook his head and said, "The knockout stage is different from the group stage. Everyone wants to go further. The Spanish defender will not be elegant."

"The World Cup stage is too big, no one left regrets. This is your first time participating in the World Cup, and you don't understand the danger."

Zidane looked up at Domeneck and asked, "What do you think?"

Domeneck could not have called them specifically because he was worried about their bodies. He must have his own thoughts. So, what was his thoughts?
