At 4:00 p.m. on the 11th, the French team took a special car to the Elysee Palace.

The Elysee Palace is a two-story building made of large stones. The two wings symmetrical left and right are two platforms, surrounded by the garden in the middle, and the appearance is simple and solemn. The back of the palace is a quiet and beautiful garden. The interior of the Elysee Palace is full of magnificence.

At the entrance of the main building, the French blue, white and red flags fluttered in the wind. There are two letters of "rf" on the lintel, which is the abbreviation of the name of the French Republic.

The walls of each living room are decorated with gilded wood, with famous oil paintings and exquisite tapestries hanging on the walls. They are surrounded by gilded carvings and rare artworks from the 17th to 18th centuries, as well as golden clocks and large chandeliers, making this place look like a museum.

The palace furnishings include 2,000 gilded engravings, 200 precious tapestries, 130 exquisite clocks and a large number of precious works of art.

This palace was the place where the French president met with foreign dignitaries in the past. Today Chirac was going to meet with the French team. French players were wearing suits and tie, and Tang Jue didn't like formal clothes because he felt that he could not stretch his limbs comfortably.

When they got off the special car, the first thing that caught the players' eyes was the Republic Guard wearing red tassel helmets and blue uniforms. Four guard members guarded the gate. Under the light of media reporters, they walked into President Chirac's official residence. The magnificent Elysee Palace attracted the attention of Ribery and others. This was their first time entering here.

Looking at the famous oil paintings and exquisite tapestries hanging on the wall, the gilded carvings and rare artworks on the furnishings, as well as the golden clocks and large chandeliers, Ribery couldn't help but reach out to touch the exquisite furniture. The staff politely stopped him.

Everyone tried their best to restrain their laughter, and Ribery said awkwardly to Tang Jue beside him: "I just pretended to touch it, but who knew they took it seriously!"

Tang Jue moved his eyes from the exquisite artwork to Ribery. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Ribery's crotch. Ribery quickly covered his crotch with his hands while shouting: "What are you doing?"

Tang Jue shrugged and said lightly: "I just pretended to touch it, but who knew you took it seriously!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing!

The staff wanted to stop the players' laughter, but when they thought that these people were the protagonists today, they pretended to hear nothing.

Under the leadership of the staff, everyone came to a living room. Chirac was waiting for them.

"I have heard your laughter a long time ago. Can you tell me what makes you so happy?" Chirac looked at the French players with a smile. Everyone turned their eyes to Ribery. Ribery lowered his head awkwardly, and the scar on his face turned red!

Chirac took two steps forward, first holding Domeneck's hand on the right side of the team. Football Association Chairman K Simone stood beside Chirac. Just as he was about to introduce him, Chirac said: "I know him."

Looking at Domeneck, Chirac smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you for bringing the Hercules Cup back to France!"

Domeneck said modestly: "The main credit is with the players, I only do what I should do. In addition, the French team's achievement of such a result is not separated from you."

In the group stage game against South Korea, Domeneck let Don Jue sit on the bench. At the end of the first half, France fell behind zero and took a break. When he returned to the locker room, Zidane was very dissatisfied with Domeneck. Zidane, who was replaced early in the second half, walked back to the locker room. In anger, he kicked the door of the locker room broken.

The conflict between Zidane and Domeneck became sharp, and Chirac immediately asked Platini to deal with this matter. With the efforts of Platini and Czemone and others, the two reconciled. The generals and coaches walked back together, and the French team performed better and better in the next game.

Chirac looked at Domeneck deeply and said nothing. Under the introduction of K Simone, Chirac shook hands with the French team members cordially.

"After the game, I repeatedly admired your last shot, the barb, it was great!" Chirac held Tang Jue's hand and said with a smile: "It was you who competed for the Hercules Cup for us!"

Tang Jue said with a smile: "The credit is not on me alone, and winning is the joint effort of the whole team. In addition, without Ribery passing the ball to me, I would not have a chance to shoot."

Ribery stood on Tang Jue's left side. When he heard this, there was a surprise in his eyes. Ribery didn't expect that Tang Jue would mention his name at this time.

Chirac nodded and said, "I like this. Football is a team project. If you want to achieve good results, you must rely on the joint efforts of all players."

"At first I was a little worried, thinking that after this World Cup, you will be even more arrogant and arrogant. Now my worries have disappeared." Chirac said loudly: "From now on, I decided to become your fan!"

"You are my idol!"

The French team was surprised and applauded after the surprise. Vieira's brows were frowning tightly, but he was also applauding.

...

At 10:00 a.m. on the 11th, FIFA announced other awards for this World Cup: Brazil and Spain shared the fair competition award for this World Cup; Portugal was rated as the most popular team by fans; Italian goalkeeper Buffon, who lost only three goals in 7 games, won the Yasin Award, which is the best goalkeeper.

FIFA also announced the best 23-man roster:

Goalkeepers: Buffon, Lehmann, Ricardo.

Defenders: Ayala, Terry, Touram, Ram, Kanavaro, Zambrota, Gala

Midfielder: Zeroberto, Vieira, Zidane, Barack, Pirlo, Gattuso, Feigo, Maniche

Forwards: Crespo, Don Jue, Henry, Clos, Totti

Both teams participating in the finals have six players selected, becoming the biggest winners and occupying almost half of the world. All the top four teams in this World Cup come from Europe, so the players selected for the best team are also mainly European players. There are only three players in South America in developed football.

Tang Jue became the youngest player elected, which made French fans very proud!

There is the best lineup, and of course there will be the worst lineup. On the 11th, Marca selected the worst eleven players in this World Cup:

The worst goalkeeper: Karachi of Australia. In the game against Croatia, he accidentally replaced Schwarzer. However, a fatal mistake almost ruined the team's chance to qualify. Against Italy, Schwarzer once again replaced his main position.

The worst left-back: Cafu. Before he met France, Brazil encountered weak teams all the way. Cafu did not show his own problems, but in Brazil's game against France, Domeneke regarded him as the main breakthrough.

The worst central defender: Uyfalusi of the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic stopped in the group stage. It was not because he lost to Italy, but because he lost to Ghana. The direct reason for losing to Ghana was Uyfalusi's low-level mistake and a red card.

Worst central defender: Seihei's Dudic. Seihei lost 2-3 to Côte d'Ivoire. In one game, he had two unnecessary handballs in the penalty area. With two goals in the first game, he gave the victory to the Côte d'Ivoire. Seihei lost the last chance to save face.

The worst left-back: Carlos. In the game against France, Carlos failed to complete the defensive task well, causing Tang Mei to score twice.

The worst central defender: Lampard. Everyone has been hoping that Lampard can score, but as the player with the most shooting per game, he failed to score and wasted too many opportunities. He even failed to score even penalty kicks in the end.

The worst central advanceer: Pollack of the Czech Republic. In the game against Italy, he first made Matrazi score a goal without being tight, and then he made himself play with a red card due to two stupid fouls, which ruined the Czech Republic's last chance.

The worst right forward: Stankovic of Serbia. As the most valuable star in the team, he evaporated on the court in several games. His performance was completely like an ordinary player from Serbia, which was surprising.

The worst left forward: Ronaldinho. To be fair, if this is an ordinary player, his performance is not too bad, or even pretty good, but because he is Ronaldo, this is much different from the level he can perform. There is only one irrelevant assist in 5 games, which is really unreasonable.

The two-time World Footballer, none of them scored a goal and did not perform well in the key knockout matches. Especially in the game against France, when they got excellent opportunities, they inexplicably scored high and missed the goal.

The worst forward: Kezhman, who was squattish, was highly expected but his performance was disappointing. The black forward ran the most on the line, and the most eye-catching thing was the old Milosevic. What really made people pay attention to was that the bad foul and the shameful red card were eventually sent back to the country by the team in advance.

Worst striker: Ibrahimovic. As Sweden's highest-value star, he did not show a level that matched his value on the court, and still did not break his goal drought in the World Cup.

...

On the 11th, FIFA announced that a team has been organized to investigate the Zidane collision incident.

Most people believe that even if Zidane is insulted, he should not lose his mind. As the captain of the French team and the spiritual leader, Zidane should have dealt with it calmly at that time.

But some people support Zidane. AFP reported that Aledin Boruydi, chairman of the Iranian parliamentary Foreign Relations Committee, recently wrote to Zidane to congratulate the French captain on his "reasonable and timely counterattack" when facing the "insult of personality and Islamic identity."

Iranian President Ahmadinejad told the media: "Zidane has always been my idol, and he used to be, and he will be there!"

Iran's Le Monde is a radical newspaper led by Boruyad, known for its full support for the tough policies of Iranian President Ahmadinejad. The newspaper used two famous header photos on the front page, titled: "The best player in the world fights for his Islamic identity."

The Iranian Congress may not know that Zidane claimed to be an ungodly Muslim, married a non-Muslim Spanish dancer, had four boys, and none of them gave Islamic names. Neither they knew what happened between Matrazi and Zidane.

However, even if they know, they won't change their practices. In Iran, football is a popular sport, and Ahmadinejad has always been accustomed to using football to promote his political philosophy.

Before the Iranian football team went to Germany, President Ahmadinejad made a debut in a training session of the team. He wore national team jerseys and sneakers and fought with the players. He delivered a speech after training, wishing the Iranian team as successful as Iran's nuclear program. Captain Dei gave Ahmadinejad a national jersey with the number 24.
