Chapter 240: The ruthless Alonso!
In the Spanish locker room, the tension before the battle was shrouded on the players. Aragonese announced the starting list: "goalkeeper, Casillas; defender, Ramos, Puyol, Pablo, Peña; midfielder, Fabregas, Xavi, Alonso; striker, Raul, Torres, Villa."
Raul breathed a sigh of relief, and he understood that the old coach Aragones was giving him face. He made up his mind to perform well, and in addition to giving himself a grand birthday gift, he also had to trust the old coach.
"With Zidane in the French team, there are infinite possibilities. Don't just see his age. You must not relax your defense against him. In addition, Don must not relax this point. I emphasize again that you cannot let him run!"
"Children! Tonight is the time for you to prove yourself. The whole world's eyes are on you! Show your ambitions and go fight!"
The declaration of battle has been shouted!
...
At half past eight, the starting players of both sides appeared in the player channel. Many players of the Spanish team are Zidane's teammates. Logically speaking, they should say hello to Zidane, but their eyes either look at the back of their teammates' heads or look at the ceiling above the passage.
Zidane exhaled contemptuously and looked at the end of the passage, where it was the battlefield tonight. Is tonight the end of his career? No! It must not be!
Zidane's eyes became firmer!
Standing in the middle of the team, Tang Jue looked at Spain and found that they were all looking straight and looked serious. He couldn't help but chuckled. Suddenly a fierce look came towards him, and Tang Jue raised his eyebrows slightly. It turned out that this was the Spanish midfielder Alonso.
What was unexpected was that Tang Jue suddenly laughed. Alonso frowned, stared at Tang Jue fiercely, turned to look at the stadium. Alonso thought to himself: Humph! Underestimate me! During the game, you will know how powerful my shoe nails are!
...
Under the leadership of the referee, the players on both sides walked out of the player channel. The atmosphere on the court suddenly became warmer, and countless cheers sounded!
"France! France! France!"
"Spain! Spain! Spain!"
The fans of both sides refused to give in, and their battle had already begun!
TV media have used this time to interpret the lineups of both sides. Henrik Hilario, a famous football commentator at France TV, said: "The French team's formation is 442. Domeneck sent all the main players. The starting striker is Henry and Don, who performed the best in the Champions League this season. Their club eliminated Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League, and they are the key men to defeat their opponents."
"We have reason to believe them and will give us a satisfactory answer tonight!"
"There are not much changes in the midfield and backcourt. Ribery has put himself in the main position through his wonderful performance in the previous few games. He is another fire point besides the three Musketeers."
Spanish TV One commentator Antonini said: "Spain's lineup is 433. This is the same as Barcelona's lineup. Barcelona's amazing performance in La Liga and the Champions League has allowed Aragonese to find the best formation in Spain."
"Raul said when he entered the court that he wanted to give himself a satisfactory birthday gift. He would not let Aragonese down."
Espn's commentator said: "Spain and France are both technical teams, and this game will feast the eyes of fans all over the world. The lineups of both sides have not changed much. The French team's 442 formation is the most stable formation. Spain's 433 formation means that they will play offensive football in this game."
"We will wait and see what kind of visual feast these two Latin teams that advocate technology will present to us!"
Rubinho, a famous football commentator of Milan TV, said: "This game caught the appetite of fans before the game. The players on both sides had a big fight of words before the game. One side said it would be Zidane's last game, and the other side said they would continue to move forward."
"A team will eventually leave the World Cup. The knockout stage is always cruel. The loser becomes the stepping stone for the successful. The successful stands on the body of the loser and continues to fight against powerful opponents. No one wants to be the stepping stone for others. The old French team plus the young Don and Ribery, the French team is carrying a momentum in their calmness. Spain rarely performs well in the competition."
"All this shows that France has greater hope of achieving this game. However, it is absolutely impossible for Spain to admit defeat easily. In the four-year World Cup, no one is willing to admit defeat!"
"This will definitely be a battle of dragons and tigers!"
"There are many highlights in this game. First, whether Tang can continue his record of scoring goals in every game. Tang has participated in two group matches and scored a total of four goals. Tang said before the game that he would score two goals. We will wait and see if he can fulfill his promise. Secondly, how the Spanish defenders will deal with Tang. The two declared war on the other side through the media before the game, and it was full of gunpowder."
"Third, how does Spain defend the three Musketeers. In the game against Switzerland, the three Musketeers teamed up to knock the Swiss team down. Spain will definitely not let them pass and receive the ball easily."
"Fourth, is this Zidane's last game?"
...
There were 153 TV media broadcasting live on the live broadcast seat, setting the highest record since the start of the World Cup. Various languages rang in front of the microphone, and fans from all over the world learned about the status and stories of the two teams before the game through their commentary.
After the national anthem of both sides was played, the game was about to begin. Zidane and Raul exchanged team flags and picked the side. Raul guessed the coins, he chose the stadium, and Spain sat on the east side of the stadium in the first half.
Two minutes later, in the flash, the referee whistle blew and the game began!
Khillario shouted: "The battle of focus has officially begun!"
Antonini said excitedly: "With the referee's whistle, the last game of the 2006 quarterfinals started!"
Rubinho said loudly: "The competition for the last quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup has begun!"
Henry passed the ball back to the backcourt. The French team calmly poured the ball under the command of Zidane. The three Spanish strikers rushed through the half-time like hungry wolves. Raul was very excited and ran very fast. When approaching Vieira, Vieira passed the ball to Marklele beside him. Raul immediately turned around and chased Marklele, but he never thought that he would slip and fall on the turf.
French fans would miss this opportunity, and they booed Raul and were laughing at him!
Spanish fans fought back and gave Raul applause!
Tang Jue ran to Spain's half after the game started. The defense against him was Alonso from Liverpool. Alonso hit Tang Jue hard without the ball. Tang Jue frowned and looked at Alonso. Alonso's nose sprayed a cold air and said, "What are you looking at?"
Tang Jue is the kind of person who respects me one point, I will let you three points, you will invade me one inch, and I will change you one foot. Facing Alonso's provocation, he said contemptuously: "I'm looking at a pig!"
When Alonso heard this, his eyebrows stood up and he said viciously: "Boy, you're dead!"
Tang Jue said contemptuously: "The person who said such words has never beat me. The one who died in the end is not me, it is you!"
Alonso stopped talking, he wanted to give Tang Jue a little color. At this moment, Ribery passed by a diagonally to find Tang Jue. Tang Jue stepped forward and was about to get the ball. Alonso stretched out his leg from behind and kicked Tang Jue's left ankle with his right shoe nail!
"Ah!..." With a scream, Tang Jue fell to the ground with a bang!
Alonso said viciously to Tang Jue: "Damn it, let's see who will die!"
Henrik Hilario, a famous football commentator at France Television, said: "Don's battle of words with Spanish players before the game made both sides full of gunpowder before the game. Alonso kicked Don's ankle from the beginning of the game, expressing his dissatisfaction with him."
Tang Jue rarely screamed during the game, and only screamed when he was seriously injured. Henry and others quickly surrounded Alonso in order to go up, scolded him loudly, and asked for an explanation. The referee hurriedly stepped forward to separate the players of both sides to avoid further expansion of the conflict, and took out a yellow card to Alonso!
Espn commentator said: "Alonso can give a red card for this foul. The referee didn't want to break the balance on the court too early, so he only gave him a yellow card. Judging from Alonso's foul this time, the game will be very intense."
Alice, sitting behind the bench of the French team, was full of worry in her eyes. The distant dormitory of the second major international student in Lyon and Milan, Italy, also had a pair of worry-filled eyes. The living room of Tang Yuantian Hotel was full of anxiety, and the whole of France was full of anxiety. Some French fans began to shout loudly.
In the distant Spain, fans were secretly happy. If this person ended, their confidence in winning would be much greater. Tang Jue was finally carried out by the stadium staff on a stretcher, removed the socks and leg guards, and the ankle joint clearly left three shoe nail marks!
The camera lens clearly shows this picture in front of fans all over the world. French fans scolded Alonso for being too cruel, and they couldn't help but start to worry about Tang Jue. The game has just begun. If this person is injured, then...
Domeneke couldn't help but step forward to ask about Tang Jue's injury. Tang Jue told Domeneke that he had no problem. At the moment of injury, Xiao Feifei told him that the problem was not very big, there was no problem with the bones, and the ligament was torn 9%, so he could persist in the game.
In order to prove that she had no problem, Tang Jue stood up from the stretcher and ran two steps. The severe pain made his steps stagger. The French fans in the stands were full of worries, and Alice frowned very tightly. She could feel Tang Jue's pain at this time.
Tang Jue immediately ordered Xiao Feifei to help him relieve the pain. In an instant, the severe pain disappeared. Tang Jue suddenly felt relaxed, exhaled a long breath, his eyes became sharp, and he continued to run forward a few steps. The French fans in the stands looked at Tang Jue who was walking normally and cheered!
Henrik Hilario, a famous football commentator at France Television, said happily: "Don has no problem, he can return to the court immediately! Alonso's fierceness will inevitably inspire him to fight more!"
A minute later, Tang Jue returned to the court again. French fans inside and outside the court applauded Tang Jue hard. Those worried eyes finally changed to joy. A joy flashed in Zidane's eyes. He quickly came to Tang Jue and asked softly: "How is it? Is the problem serious?"
Tang Jue smiled and shook his head and said, "A small problem, he didn't use much force enough." Tang Jue's optimistic words swept away the haze in Zidane's heart. Alonso, not far away, frowned and began to close his heart. He knew how powerful his kick was. If someone else had been sent to the hospital long ago. Could this person be a steel bar?
After exhaling a long breath, Alonso's eyes showed a ruthlessness: Boy, I didn't ruin you this time, so I must ruin you next time!
Tang Jue's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at him contemptuously in response to Alonso's eyes. Alonso understood what he meant: Come on, I'm already angry, wait for my anger!
A stream of air conditioning spurted out from Alonso's nostrils, and he sneered in his heart: "Come on! Who is afraid of whom! Boy, today is destined to be your unlucky day, who told you to be so arrogant!"
Tang Jue quickly entered the frontcourt, and Alonso quickly stepped on it. Tang Jue hit Alonso's shoulder hard and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "You are dead, I want fans all over the world to see how I broke through you and sent the ball into the Spanish goal!"
Alonso said contemptuously: "I was not strong enough just now, and you will not have such good luck next time."
