Chapter 285: I don't want to stand behind Zidane!
The finals came as scheduled, and fans around the world were looking forward to it. Major media were in the final battle, and countless news appeared on TV media.
"Zidane discussed tactics with Don and Ribery before the final, and Henry expressed dissatisfaction with this!"
"Tony boldly said: I will compete with Tang Yi in the final!"
"Matrazi vowed to leave Tang nothing!"
"The Italian team plotted to use the 'emotional card' to dismantle Don't fight!"
...
At 6 p.m. on July 9, the French team players rested in the hotel room. The nervousness before the game approached, as the game time approached, slowly crawled out of the players' hearts. In order to relieve his tension, Ribery came to Toram's room. He hoped to use Toram's experience to relieve his tension.
Tang Jue stayed in his room, a kind of inexplicable tension and excitement torture him. Thinking of his first World Cup final and when he raised the Hercules Cup, his blood began to flow faster, and adrenal hormones began to stimulate his body, making him feel excited.
Although it is not good to understand that this situation is, Tang Jue cannot suppress the occurrence of this situation at all. Xiao Feifei is omniscient, but it cannot control this situation either. Xiao Feifei can control Tang Jue's nervous system, but cannot control the secretion of hormones.
In addition, Tang Jue was shrouded in an inexplicable anxiety, and even he himself did not understand where the anxiety came from and where it came from.
In order to suppress his excitement, Tang Jue was about to wash his face with cold water. At this moment, his phone rang. Looking at the name displayed on the phone screen, Tang Jue couldn't help but stop. The phone was called by Ronnie. The quarter-finals did not affect the relationship between the two.
"Are you excited and nervous? Do you want to play the final right away? Are you thinking about lifting the Hercules Cup?"
There was a teasing smell in Ronnie's voice. Tang Jue sat on the edge of the bed and said angrily: "At this time, you still have to tease me. You damn guy!"
Ronnie smiled and said, "For you guy, there are only such moments that can torture you."
Tang Jue said helplessly: "Are you happy if I was tortured?"
Ronnie said for granted: "Of course!" and he said regretfully: "It's a pity that I can't see what you are now."
Tang Jue shook his head and said, "You haven't experienced the finals. What you were like back then, what I am now."
On the other end of the phone, Ronnie began to remain silent. In 1998, as Brazil's number one star, Ronnie led the team to the finals. However, he performed mediocrely in the finals. After the game, he was criticized by the Brazilian media. That period was the most sad day in Ronnie's career.
"I hope you won't show the situation I had in the past." Ronnie broke the silence and said: "Eight years ago, I failed because I thought too much and put too much pressure on myself. Four years ago, I regarded the final as a pleasure and my own hunting ground to experience the feeling of hunting. So I succeeded!"
Now it was Tang Jue's turn to remain silent. Ronnie did not break this silence. After a long time, Tang Jue said: "The hunting ground is very good! I hope to adjust my mentality as soon as possible and not follow your footsteps."
Ronnie laughed and scolded: "Damn it, your current situation is different from mine. Eight years ago, the whole of Brazil wanted me to break through the French goal and win the fifth championship trophy. You have Zidane in front of you. Standing behind him, do you have the pressure I had like back then?"
Standing behind Zidane?
Who is the real leader of the French team now? Who is the team's number one star?
The answer is of course Zidane, the three times World Footballer is a clear proof. The French team's starlight shines, among these stars. Zidane is undoubtedly the most shining. Even Tang Jue, who scored seven World Cup goals, cannot compete with him now.
Because in the long river of time, Zidane has been the leader of the team for a long time and has been shining in the world of football. Tang Jue is not the leader of the team now because he is too young and his qualifications and record are not enough to surpass the heroes.
The leader bears most of the pressure on the team, and the performance of the number one star determines the final result of the game. The reason why Zidane is said to be great is that in the 1998 final, he can withstand the pressure and break through Brazil's goal twice. The reason why Ronnie is said to be great is that after the failure in 1998, in the 2002 final, he can score twice, help the team stand on the highest podium.
Ronnie said that Zidane was standing in front of Tang Jue, whose main purpose was to resolve the pressure on Tang Jue. He believed that only in this way could Tang Jue be rewarded.
Tang Jue shook his head and said, "But I don't want to stand behind Zidane. I hope to fight shoulder to shoulder with him!"
Ronnie did not vomit blood because he knew what kind of person Tang Jue was. People like this who were so proud of themselves were of course unwilling to stand behind others. They had to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zidane. On the one hand, Tang Jue said that he had to bear the pressure from the outside world with Zidane, and on the other hand, he wanted to become the leader of the French team.
Ronnie was silent for a moment and said, "I like what you say."
...
The words with Ronnie made Tang Jue understand why he was nervous and excited. He was unwilling to stand behind Zidane and stood side by side with him. He wanted to stand side by side with Zidane and said what he was thinking, and at the same time he had to bear the oncoming pressure. After talking with Ronnie, the tension and excitement in Tang Jue's heart was slowly replaced by pressure.
After washing his face with cold water, Tang Jue sat on the bed and pondered. He couldn't think too long, and another phone call woke him up. This time the call was neither his relative nor a reporter who wanted to interview him, but Ronaldo.
"'Missing today, I can only look forward to the next real showdown.' I always remember the words you said that day. I hope you have the title of World Cup on your head when you are really showing up with me."
"How is this? Is this the best sentence you heard today?"
C Luo’s previous sentence was very serious, and the next sentence immediately began to tease Tang Jue. C Luo’s previous sentence was both to encourage Tang Jue and to show his pride. The implicit meaning was that it would be satisfying to defeat Tang Jue, who had the World Cup title in the future.
Ronnie and Ronaldo both chose to make fun of it. Perhaps in their opinion, this can relieve the pressure on Tang Jue. Of course, the people who call Tang Jue today are undoubtedly those who want to help him.
Tang Jue said seriously: "This is the most challenging thing I heard today."
"Go!" C Ronaldo said dissatisfiedly: "No one challenges you, you will find something to challenge. Don't say before the game against Spain, you were forced to say, "Let the Spanish players always bow their heads in front of me!". I know what kind of person you are, because we are the same people."
Since you regard the other party as your biggest competitor, of course you have to understand the other party. C Luo did not tell lies. They are all extremely proud people. He knows what kind of person Tang Jue is. C Luo did not say anything wrong. Tang Jue was not the sentence that was forced to say. That sentence was to put pressure on himself to inspire his greater fighting spirit.
Tang Jue smiled and said, "Okay! How could I escape your eyes? How about it? Is your mood getting better now?"
C Ronaldo shook his head and said, "Damn it, the final is about to begin. You don't care about the game, but you care about me." That being said, C Ronaldo was still a little moved. He was an opponent on the court and a friend off the court, which is a principle that many football players adhere to. C Ronaldo has not many friends because many people think he is too proud. Among players of the same age, C Ronaldo believes that Tang Jue is undoubtedly his best friend because the two have a lot in common.
After scolding, Ronaldo's tone became a little deeper: "Okay, I admit, I'm still in a bad mood now."
Tang Jue comforted: "Time is the best healing medicine. After a while, you will gradually forget it." C Luo said without appreciation: "I will never forget it, never!"
Since this is not possible, I will take a strong medicine and Tang Jue said: "If you think so, you have not lost at my feet anyway!"
If others say this, Ronaldo may despise him or even become furious. But Ronaldo on the other end of the phone was not furious. After thinking about it, Ronaldo said: "What you said is very good for my appetite. I feel much better now."
As if suddenly thinking about the purpose of calling tonight, Ronaldo said angrily: "Tang, you guy is too unauthentic. It is obvious that I should be the one who leads the topic tonight, why do you want to lead?"
Tang Jue said helplessly: "Okay, now you will be the one who will dominate, what are you going to say?"
"What did you say?" C Luo said: "Damn it, look, I have forgotten what I said before."
Tang Jue said: "Then need to say nothing, I understand what you mean. I won't let you down tonight to make up for the missed semifinals and to make up for the first real encounter with you."
C Luo nodded and said, "Well, this is what I hope to hear. I will cheer for you in front of the TV!"
...
At 8:30 p.m. on July 9, the south of the stadium was the gathering place for Italian fans. It was a blue sea, and the battle flags were floating on the sea. Milan fans who chose to support Tang Jue were not here, they sat in other corners. The south of the stadium was not where they sat, because it was a pure blue and could not tolerate other colors!
Sitting opposite the Italian fans were French fans, wearing white jerseys, like white snow on the top of a mountain. This was not cold snow, but passionate snow, which contained amazing heat. When the game started, we would fight the blue sea opposite.
At this time, players on both sides were preparing for the game in the locker room. The final was about to break out, and the four-year World Cup had reached its final moment. The two best-performing teams are about to fight for the highest honor in the world of football.
Zidane stood up and said, "Tonight I hope everyone will fight side by side with me, defeat the opponent and get the Hercules Cup. Victory belongs to us!"
The air in the locker room became hot. "Victory belongs to us!" Toulam also stood up and said. Then the other players stood up, walked to Zidane's side, and stretched out their hands. After a while, a hand of various skin colors appeared from a high tower formed by stacking.
"Vict!"
"Vict!"
"Vict!"
Everyone's roar is not so loud, but only comes from the heart, as if they are shouting with their lives, or they are talking to themselves.
In the Italian locker room, all Italian players surrounded Cannavaro, put their hands on their teammates' shoulders, forming a circle. Cannavaro placed his hands on his teammates' shoulders and shouted: "Long live Italy!"
"Long live Italy!"
"Long live Italy!"
"Long live Italy!"
The blood of each player began to boil, and his determination to compete for honor for the country awakened the most primitive passion in their bloodline. The atmosphere in the locker room was extremely warm. Lippi looked at his disciples, suppressed the tears surging in his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and shouted:
"Set off!"
At this time, a brief closing performance was being held on the field outside.
Chapter completed!
