Chapter 54 - Benzema's Pain!
Just as Tang Jue walked into the locker room, the match at the Gerland Stadium at Lyon's home court had just ended. Lyon defeated the newly promoted Mastra with a 1-0 small victory over the top of the standings.
After winning, Lyon was not ecstatic, and it was not worth their excitement to defeat a weak team like Stella. After the game, the players returned to the locker room one after another. Being the star of hope that Lyon focused on cultivating, Benzema was arranged to be interviewed. Benzema's face was filled with sweat, and he stood next to the bench.
Benzema was very excited to be arranged by the club for interviews. In the past, such opportunities were occupied by Brazilian star Juninho and other stars. He was very happy about the club's arrangements.
When he saw that the interviewee was Benzema, the reporter of French TV 2 was very happy. He had a plan and adjusted the focus of the interview. He asked: "Benzema, congratulations to you on defeating Stella. You came on the bench in the second half and had two shots, one of which hit the crossbar. Are you satisfied with your performance?"
Benzema said: "It's always exciting to beat the opponent. I'm very satisfied with my performance. If that ball is a little lower, it will be a pity. I will strive to score the next game!"
A reporter from France Television II asked: "At the Abe Deschamps Stadium, in the game that just ended ten minutes ago, Saint-Germain narrowly defeated Auxerre three-to-two. Don is your teammate in the Lyon Juniors team. He scored two goals and assisted one goal in his debut in Ligue 1. What do you think of him?"
Benzema showed a shocked expression on his face. The beautiful mood just now melted quickly in the rising sun like snow.
Ligue 1 debut, two goals and one assist?
My God!
He...he's really back!
Benzema put away his melancholy mood and said, "Congratulations! He was very strong in the youth team before, so I was not surprised that he performed so well."
A reporter from France Television II continued to ask: "What do you think of him not becoming your teammate?"
Benzema had a headache. Regarding all the questions about Tang Jue, the club issued a ban. He said: "I don't know how to answer you this question." Benzema thought for a while and said: "He has been training in the Lyon Junior Team for seven years. It can be said that he was trained by Lyon."
A reporter from French TV 2 asked: "Tang left Lyon at the age of fourteen. He is the only professional player in modern football who has not been trained in a youth training camp. From this perspective, he can also say that it was not trained by Lyon, but trained by himself. Do you agree with this statement?"
Benzema was in pain. He thought the reporter was mainly here to interview him. The shot that hit the crossbar was him breaking through the two and then shooting. In Benzema's heart, the shot was very exciting.
However, the reporter is concerned about Tang, what does this have to do with me? This guy is really back, and he scored two goals and one assist in the first Ligue 1 game. Think about his first Ligue 1 game, he had no goals, only one shot, and he didn't even make the goal frame.
Benzema said with pain hidden in his eyebrows: "I don't agree with this view. His skills are the best in the Lyon Junior Team, even better than mine. He was trained by Lyon, and there is no doubt that he was."
Benzema ended the reporter's interview in pain, but on the way back to the locker room, his eyes became brighter and brighter. The mountain of the past rose again. Benzema had no fear in his heart. He was the leader of the four little swans in France and he wanted to defend French youth football.
Prove yourself to be strong with your actions. The best way is to beat Tang Jue in the game against Saint-Germain and let everyone know that I, Benzema, are even better than Tang.
...
That night, Metz defeated Socho 2-1 at home St. Sim Furian Stadium. Half an hour later, Ribery sat on the rostrum of the press conference. Tonight he was the brightest star at St. Sim Furian Stadium, with a goal and an assist.
Ribery was thinking about what questions the reporters should ask and how he should answer them. His heart was wrapped in joy.
A reporter asked: "Ribery, Metz challenged Saint-Germain three days ago. Don said to you before the second half, 'You are a good actor and deceived the referee.' What do you think about this?"
Ribery frowned, and the scar face shone with a cold light. After pondering for a while, he said, "He was provoking me at that time. I usually ignore such people."
He is the brightest new star in France and the biggest contributor to Metz's victory in this game. In his eyes, Tang Jue was just a clown.
After saying that, contempt came out of the corner of Ribery's mouth. Did you tell the media that I was afraid? You underestimate me too much.
Another reporter asked: "Tang scored two goals tonight and assisted one goal to help Saint-Germain defeat Ausselle away. You fought with him three days ago. What do you think about this?"
The reporter's words rushed towards Ribery like shells, and Ribery's heart suddenly burst into great waves. The previous joy in his heart disappeared and was replaced by shock.
Two goals, one assist?
Still on the road!
Ribery's face was even more cold, and his rosy face slowly turned pale. He said a moment later: "He scored two goals three days ago and made a penalty kick. I congratulate him for his wonderful performance tonight!"
...
The next day, major sports media in France conducted a large number of reports on the twelfth round of the Ligue 1. There were many articles that described the match between Saint-Germain and Ausselle.
"The Chinese striker is rising strongly, and Saint-Germain ushers in spring!"
This is the title of the team newspaper. The article reads: Last night, Saint-Germain defeated Auxerre three-to-two at Abe Deschamps Stadium, taking away three-pointers. It broke Auxerre's record of unbeaten at home this season. Chinese forward Don was the brightest star on Abe Deschamps Stadium last night.
Before the game, no one was optimistic about Saint-Germain, and their recent record was extremely bad. They lost two consecutive games in the Champions League group stage and ranked 11 in the Ligue 1. In addition, two main strikers were injured, and they were fighting at the Abbe Deschamps Stadium again.
Ausselle has a great home record this year, with no defeats at home for five games. They ranked fourth in the league before this game.
So, no matter from which perspective, it is not difficult for Ausselle to win at home.
Judging from the game, Ausserl took the initiative at the beginning, but Tang's strong rise failed to see Ausserl's wishful thinking.
The 17-year-old striker from China, Tang, has trained in the Lyon Youth Team for seven years. He is an outstanding young player trained by French football. French football flows in his blood.
Don made his debut at the Princes Park Stadium three days ago. In that French Cup match against Metz, Don scored two goals and created a penalty kick, helping the team reverse the victory in the last three minutes.
If someone regards that game as luck, then last night at Abbe Deschamps Stadium, Don used two classic goals and one assist to tell everyone that he helped the team win with his own strength.
It is hard to imagine that last night's game was the first Ligue 1 match for the Chinese striker. Tang made wonderful breakthroughs many times in the game. The extremely fast Chinese striker was not afraid of facing Ausselle's double-team.
The most exciting game scene last night was the 32nd minute of the first half. Don faced three defenders, Ausselle, and directly killed in with a passing route. In the dizzy moment, Don broke through the siege, avoided Ausselle's pull, and then rushed into Ausselle's penalty area.
In the penalty area, when facing four defenders from Ausserl, he passed the ball across the ball to Boskovic in a narrow gap, and Boskovic scored one shot, making the team lead Aussel 2-0.
It is said that Tang's speed reached 30 meters and was the fastest forward in France. He is very good at utilizing his advantages. Judging from the process of scoring, Tang combined his speed with technology perfectly. With speed and skills, Tang possessed the qualities of an excellent striker.
With Pauletta and Reynaldo injured, the strength of the Chinese striker solved the current situation of Saint-Germain's "powerless striker". We look forward to the Chinese striker's performance.
In addition, regarding why Don did not sign a contract with Lyon after he recovered, Don said in an interview with our reporter that he would explain after the game with Lyon. We look forward to the game at the Gerland Stadium on November 20. We look forward to Saint-Germain's away game against Lyon.
I look forward to Tang Jue revealing the inside story of not signing with Lyon after the game.
...
Other media also praised Tang Jue's performance. However, some media expressed doubts about whether Tang Jue can perform well in future games.
Canal+ TV said: "In France, the four little swans are undoubtedly the most dazzling young players. As a teammate of Benzema and Ben Alpha youth team, Don appeared in the Ligue 1 field even later. Last night, he showed strong strength with two goals and one assist.
Lyon defeated Stella 1-0 at home, and Benzema came on the bench with two shots but failed to score. Compared with Don's two goals, his performance was slightly inferior.
However, judging from the growth of a young player, Don cannot always perform so strongly. We should be cautious about his future development."
French TV 2 commented: "The appearance of Tang solved the current dilemma of Saint-Germain. The gorgeous Saint-Germain in the past was just a striker who lacked a final decision. However, with many main players injured, Saint-Germain's future is worrying. Judging from the situation when Deu played the midfielder in the second half last night, the current situation of Saint-Germain's lack of soldiers cannot be changed in a short time.
Saint-Germain will face a three-line battle later. He lost two consecutive Champions League games, and Saint-Germain has been eliminated in the Champions League. Their main battlefields are the French Cup and Ligue 1. The wounded soldiers are full of camps, and it is difficult for Tang to do great things.
Three days later, Saint-Germain will sit at the Princes Park Stadium, ushering in the third round of the Champions League group match and facing the challenge of Porto. Whether Saint-Germain can take advantage of the momentum of two consecutive victories to defeat Porto and retain a glimmer of hope for appearance, we will wait and see.
We must be cautious about whether Tang can be amazed in the European arena. We will play three high-confrontation games within eight days. We doubt that a young player who has just entered the professional arena will be able to perform well in the Champions League."
