Chapter 297: The impact of Zidane's departure!
Sky TV said: "Zidane used to be high above, sitting in the throne, overlooking the field. Tonight, he consolidated his throne with a 'spoon' penalty kick. But he crashed into Matrazi, fell from the throne, and became a sinner."
Domeneck, who was standing in the command area, was stunned, while Lippi, who was not far away, had joy in his eyes. During the half-time break, he reminded his players to use words to deal with Henry and Zidane. Matrazi immediately made a plan, first using force to get Henry out of the stadium, and then personally attacked Zidane, which also caused him to leave the stadium.
Lippi pushed his eyes and felt secretly happy: The French team's "three musketeers" left two, Domeneque, see if you can fight me!
Zidane left, and the game had to continue. Domeneck's assistant felt that he should return to reality, so he left the bench and pushed Domeneck. Domeneck, who returned to reality, knew that he had lost his composure, exhaled a long breath, and his brain was running rapidly. He was thinking too much. First, he had to make the next game strategy, and then determine who would control the rhythm of the team, and then who would pass the ball to Tang Jue...
Sky TV analyzed the incident of Zidane's "hit": "Zidane is the spiritual leader of the French team, the French team's midfield engine and controller of rhythm. His departure has an immeasurable impact on the French team. From a technical and tactical perspective, France's offense will be in trouble. No one will send a key pass to Don, and the French team will find it difficult to break the Italian goal."
"No one controls the pace of the game, the French team may drop by a certain level. Then the French team will be behind the Italians in tactical terms."
"From a spiritual perspective, the French team suffered greater losses. When Zidane leaves, the French team may experience a mental breakdown. The mental blow is the most deadly!"
Espn said: "Without Zidane's wonderful story, the French team will be unable to cross the Italian team's solid defense line. Now there is only about ten minutes before the end of the game, so the game may drag into overtime, and the Italian's physical advantage will be highlighted. In addition, Italy played overtime in the semi-finals, while the French team has not played overtime. The Italian has better experience in overtime than the French team."
Commentators from various countries analyzed the impact of Zidane leaving on the French team. Almost everyone believed that this was a turning point in this game. In the next game, the French team changed from advantage to disadvantage, and from offense to defensive.
The hearts of French fans were filled with worries, and the Italian fans could not hide their joy. They turned the joy into cheering, and the inspiring shouts of "Italy! Italy! Italy!" sounded.
The cheers of Italian fans completely suppressed the voices of French fans, and France was at a disadvantage on another battlefield.
Before the game started again, Domeneck called Vieira to the sidelines. Henrik Hilario said to the microphone: "Who will control the rhythm of Zidane leaving? Ribery? He is called the 'Zidane successor'. In theory, he is the most suitable one."
"And his position on the court is the most suitable. So using Ribery to control the team's rhythm is a good choice. However, he is too young and has never taken such a burden in France. This is the World Cup final. According to Domeneck's conservative personality, he will not take this risk."
"The other candidate is Vieira. Compared with Ribery, he has more experience. Vieira is the backbone of the French defense. If he is asked to take this responsibility, his physical fitness will be severely tested. Of course, his organizational ability is also average."
Henrik Hilario said with great concern: "Now Domeneck called Vieira to the sidelines, which means he has made a decision. For nearly ten years, the French team has become accustomed to Zidane on the court, and now the French team must adapt to the game without Zidane. This is quite difficult!"
The game started again, and Vieira took over Zidane's heavy responsibility. She shouted on the court and directed her teammates. One less player, the French team focused on defense, and even Ribery returned to his half, and Tang Jue stood alone in the frontcourt. During the offense, the French team did not invest much force, and Tang Jue could not speak alone.
Italian fans obviously know that the only one who can pose a threat to their team now is Tang Jue. Whenever Tang Jue takes the ball and falls into the siege of Italian defenders, they will yell. When Tang Jue loses the ball, they will boo. They want to defeat Tang Jue in this way.
After being booed by Italian fans, Tang Jue's face turned pale. Seeing that almost all of him were Italian players, Tang Jue frowned very tightly. Without the support of his teammates in the football game, who could break through the opponent's goal?
Henrik Hilario sighed: "Don was surrounded by Italy, and he had no teammates to support him. Domeneck hopes to drag the game into overtime, but does France have a chance of winning in overtime?"
Sky Sports said: "Italy did not relax its defense against Don while it was dominant. The two full-backs reduced the number of assists. It seemed that they were going to drag the game into overtime. Lippi knew that when it entered overtime, the game would be controlled by Italy."
As the game progressed, Lippi saw that the French team could not organize a decent attack. With a wave of the flag, the Italian team increased its attack on the French team.
In the 40th minute of the second half, Pirlo made a long pass in the middle circle. His target of the pass was tall center Tony. Turam roared and jumped high, and pushed Tony back. Matrazi fought to reach the football twice in front of him. He said at that time that the Italians could not grab the football on his head.
Piero went away with the ball, but he did not stop the ball, but directly passed the ball to the middle. Toti, who was responding in the middle, shot angrily. Ga stretched out his right leg, and the football finally hit his leg and bounced out of the bottom line.
Matrazi entered the French team's penalty area again, and Toram posted it, and he wanted to use his actions to prove what he said. Pirlo's corner kick was pushed out by Toram, and Toti shot from a long shot again!
There were too many people in the penalty area, and the football hit Yaqunta and bounced back. Piero took a step forward and was about to shoot again. Sanior poked the football out with his toes. Piero could no longer hold his feet. The next moment, Sanior screamed and fell on the turf.
Italy's offensive was storming, and the French team was struggling to support it. French fans in the stands were even more worried.
German TV said: "It turns out that Zidane is missing. The French team has dropped a level. It is difficult for the French team to organize a decent offense now, let alone breaking the Italian goal. When can the French team last?"
Henrik Hilario shook his head and sighed: "Viela's defensive ability is world-class, but his organizational ability is average. Domeneck should not let him control the team's rhythm. The French team has no idea of rhythm at all."
...
Tang Jue obviously disagrees with Domeneke's strategic arrangements. He does not want to drag the game into overtime. Since one person is missing, he should find a way to break through the opponent's goal and let the game end in regular time. If the game is dragged into overtime, does the French team still have a chance of winning?
If a coach doesn't think about how to win the game, is he still a great coach?
Tang Jue didn't have time to discuss this issue with Domenek, so he decided to act on his own. Using the time of the out-of-bounds ball, Tang Jue found Ribery and said: "When attacking, be bold and break through to the opponent's penalty area. Believe in yourself. They can't stop you! I will pick you up in the middle!"
Ribery looked at Tang Jue in surprise, and Vieira told him the coach's tactics. This was not the case. Vieira told him that the coach said, don't go deep into the opponent's hinterland and pass the ball to Tang Jue as soon as possible.
What should I do now? Should I listen to the coach or his?
Tang Jue saw Ribery's hesitation and entanglement and continued: "This is our first World Cup. Do you want to end the game with a loss? Look at the Hercules Cup on the sidelines. We are so close to it. It is ours!"
Ribery turned his head and looked at the golden trophy that every player dreamed of. He nodded in his eyes, and said firmly: "Okay!"
Tang Jue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and finally told Ribery: "Pay attention to your passing, either near or far, there are too many people in the middle."
Ribery nodded and said, "Okay!"
...
Time passed quickly, and Italy took advantage of its number of advantages to suppress the French team in its half. As the game progressed, the two Italian full-backs became bolder and their assists increased.
Amid the cheers of Italian fans, the Italian team launched a siege against the French goal. For a moment, the cannons roared in front of the French goal!
Huge pressure was pressing on the French defense line, and the land of France was shrouded in thick dark clouds, covering the stars in the night sky. The French starlight was dim!
"Italians are taking a fierce attack against France and they hope to solve the problem within ninety minutes," said espn.
Sky Sports said: "Before Zidane left Zidane, France wanted to end the battle in ninety minutes, while Italy wanted to drag the game into overtime. Now both sides have adjusted their strategy and a reversal has occurred. I think Domeneck's current idea is to use overtime to let the players digest the impact of Zidane's departure."
At this time, Domeneke, who was standing in the command area, shouting loudly about his players and paying attention to defense. Lippi was shouting loudly, asking his players to increase their attacks. Matrazi couldn't help but say in Tang Jue's ear: "Boy, I said, don't want to get a bargain from me. Look, you can't even get the ball, admit defeat!"
Tang Jue sighed and said, "Taking the loss? It can only appear in people like you. In my dictionary, there is never the word "to admit defeat."
Every time Italy attacked, it received loud cheers from fans. Whispered in the VIP seat, French politicians looked serious, and Italian politicians were filled with joy. Bailey shook his head and said, "France will lose this game sooner or later. Even if they dragged into overtime, they would not win. If they could drag the game into a penalty kick, they would not win."
Maradona shook her head and sighed: "What a pity, Zidane's fate..."
No one is optimistic about the French team, whether it is the media or these football celebrities. They think Italy will be the winner of tonight. Espn said: "Don is still young, only eighteen years old, missed tonight's championship, and he can make a comeback in four years!"
