Russian President Putin, sitting in the VIP seat, frowned slightly. Although he knew football very well, he could see that Russia played very passively, with purely a beating. Platini beside him also frowned. Can the French team break through Russia's iron barrel formation?

If France is a tiger, then Russia is a turtle. This is a portrayal of the first half. Although France is attacking like a tide, it cannot break through the opponent's goal, just like a tiger can't even vent the turtle. Hiddink's face did not look embarrassed. Football emphasizes that the winner is the king, it is not important to look ugly, but the important thing is to win the game.

With the referee's whistle, the dull first half ended. Hiddink led his players out of the stadium and headed towards the locker room, and French fans shouted at him loudly: "Your turtle, do you know? Your whole family is a turtle!"

"Ugly Dutch!"

"The ugly Dutch led the ugly Russian team!"

"You have ruined the reputation of the Dutch. "Biaozi" is raised, do you only know how to defend?"

Hiddink's face looked ugly, and the Russian players beside him looked ugly.

Domeneke and the French players won applause from the crowd, and the fans applauded and shouted:

"Continue to attack and hit the ugly Russians hard!"

"Come on, France, their goal will be broken by you sooner or later!"

Tang Jue raised his head and shouted: "We will win!"

He was answered by thunderous applause, cheers, screams...

...

ESPN said: "Compared with last night's semi-final, this semi-final was disappointing. I thought it was a wonderful offensive game, but who knew the Russians were huddling in their own half!"

French TV said: "The heavy rain failed to stop the French team's passion. They launched round after round of attacks. But the Russians set up an iron barrel formation in front of the penalty area and played ugly football. The ugly Russians ruined this game. It should have been a wonderful game."

"The French team will try their best to break Russia's goal earlier in the second half. As long as France leads, Russia will have to attack. At that time, the space for offense will be expanded and the initiative of the game can be controlled by the French team."

Russian TV said: "Hiddink's team blocked the French team's attack like a tide. His intention was very obvious. It was to maintain its physical fitness until the second half and launch a fatal blow!"

German TV said: "Hiddink changed his style of the previous few games and hoarded heavy troops in front of the penalty area. He sent several players to surround France's top star. Judging from the effect, it was still good. They should have changed in the second half, and they cannot win the ball by defending."

Major TV stations have expressed their views on the game.

Russian fans have complicated eyes. This is not the game they want. They are passively beaten and have no enterprising intentions.

"This won't work!"

"Yes, there is no airtight wall in this world. In the second half, players' physical fitness declined. Can they still defend Don?"

"We should attack, even if we lose, it's not ugly. If we continue to play like this, we unfortunately lose the game in the end, then..."

...

The two sides returned to the locker room and the atmosphere was different. The French locker room was relaxed and they received praise from the world, while the Russian locker room was depressed and they knew how others would criticize them.

Domenek arranged the second half of the game: "In the second half, we continue to maintain strong pressure on Russia and believe in ourselves and our teammates. Their goal will be broken by us sooner or later. If we break through the opponent's goal first, we must stabilize the defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. If the opponent scores first, we have no way out and we must attack!"

"Be careful of the opponent's counterattack in the backcourt, and be careful about Al Shavin's defense. If you don't work, you will foul it in advance."

"Two full-backs take turns to assist, and they can't go up together. Leave one person behind, and maintain the advantage in numbers in the backcourt."

...

Hiddink looked at his players and said, "I know you feel very frustrated. The scene was passive and ridiculed by the world. However, what we want is victory, not praise from the world."

"Think about it, if we advance to the finals, will anyone laugh at us? This is a stage for winners, and no one will laugh at the winners!"

"Before I send a signal, I must continue to play in the first half. In addition, I cannot relax my defense against Don. He is the kind of person who can change the situation at any time. You cannot forget the scene in the Champions League final."

Arshavin breathed a sigh of relief and retorted: "Coach, the Champions League final is a miracle. Don cannot perform such a miracle in every game. We should strengthen our offense, and there is no future for defending to the death."

Many players nodded and supported Al Shavin's point of view. The first half of the game was too frustrating. Hiddink's face darkened. He knew Al Sha's influence in the team.

"He won the Champions League championship for three consecutive years, and he was not lucky. No matter how we value him, we should not overestimate it. Those who underestimate him are defeated by his feet."

"Back to this game, defense saved us physical fitness. As long as we survived the first twenty minutes of the second half, their mentality would change. After all, their overall strength was stronger than ours. At that time, we were launching a fierce attack and we would definitely gain something!"

"Twenty minutes, as long as you stand the first twenty minutes, victory will definitely belong to us!"

Arshavin thought about it, but did not continue to challenge Hiddink's authority, nodded and said, "Okay! Let's listen to you!"

...

"Beep!..." With the referee's whistle, the second half began. The Russian team did not invest much in the offense. The French team quickly grabbed the football and launched a fierce attack. One wave higher than another, hitting the Russian defense line.

From a distance, Ernst Hapur Stadium rolled up huge blue waves, and a large red ship could be swallowed at any time.

Henrik Hilario, a famous commentator at French TV, said loudly: "The ugly Russians continue to huddle in front of their own penalty area. Are they going to be turtles all the time?"

The fans at the scene were dissatisfied and loud boos sounded. Hiddink's face looked ugly, and there were many Russian fans besides the French fans.

After the start of the second half, Tang Jue's first two breakthroughs were surrounded by five opponents. In the ninth minute, he tried to break through again. Four midfielders and Al Shawen surrounded Tang Jue. From a distance, Tang Jue looked like a lion crawling into the fire.

Both feet kept touching the football. Tang Jue began to dance on the court!

He was not dancing alone, but five dancers. French fans made huge shouts to boost morale to his number one star, hoping that he could show a sharp breakthrough at Ernst-Hapur Stadium.

Tang Jue stepped on the fans' shouts, like a fierce lion trying to escape from the fire. While dodging and moving, he broke through the first line of defense composed of Arshavin and Shemeshov. He directly rushed to the second line of defense composed of Shemak, Sayanko and Ziryanov!

French fans shouted louder!

Countless splashes of water, and the momentum that Tang Jue alone produced was like a thousand troops. Xie Make's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he let out a roar. As soon as the center of gravity dropped, he shoveled directly towards the football!

Tang Jue picked up lightly and flew out of him with a football!

Sayanko took a step forward and hit his right shoulder hard!

Tang Jue's center of gravity suddenly went to the right and alertly avoided Sayanko's impact. Then his center of gravity suddenly moved to the left, trying to break through from Ziryanov's right side, Sayanko was behind him!

The next moment, Tang Jue will be able to succeed and break through the defensive circle composed of five Russians.

"Ah!..." Some French fans couldn't help but shouted loudly. Russian fans looked at the stadium in shock, God! Five players, can't the five players stop them?

At the VIP, Putin's eyes were shocked, and his body leaned forward, as if he could see clearly. Platini beside him had bright eyes and excited face.

In the stands, Zidane exclaimed: "It's going to succeed!"

Cantona shouted: "Suddenly!"

In the command area, Hiddink's face was pale. What? None of the five players could stop them?

...

In shock, Ziryanov stretched out his left hand. He did not hesitate to foul the French top star outside the penalty area. Two Russian central defenders were shocked and headed towards Tang Jue. They could not pin their hopes on Ziryanov. What if he did not pull successfully?

V-Beresovsky and Ignashevich rushed towards Tang Jue, and Henry suddenly became an unguarded player. From a distance, Tang Jue was once again surrounded by three people. He just fled to the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's nest again. What should I do?

Want to make a hard blast. Or pass the ball to Henry on the right?

A hard breakthrough will achieve his supreme glory, but Ziryanov's left hand has already grasped his jersey. Can he get rid of his demonic grab? Even if he gets rid of him, his speed will definitely drop. Can he still break through to two central defenders in Russia?

Just as these thoughts flashed out of Tang Jue's mind, Ziryanov grabbed Tang Jue's jersey tightly, and then pulled backwards suddenly!

Tang Jue's speed instantly dropped, and French fans were extremely angry. They wanted to cut off the hand immediately. The referee put the whistle in his mouth. As soon as Tang Jue fell on the turf, he would blew the whistle immediately. The hearts of the Russian fans were about to fall, and finally stopped him!

In their opinion, after the center of gravity, Tang Jue was about to fall on the grass, so this attack from France would definitely end. However, Tang Jue was unwilling to give up this opportunity that he had finally created. At the moment of losing the center of gravity, his left foot kicked on the football.

A white light broke through the rain curtain and flew towards Henry!

The Russian fans' heart that had just been relieved suddenly rose. God, why isn't it done yet? You can pass the ball without the center of gravity, this...

The anger in the eyes of French fans was replaced by surprise, and they had a premonition that the goal was about to come. In the command area, Domeneke wanted to shout "Good ball!". Indeed, Tang Jue's way of handling the ball was so wonderful.

Henry, who was unguarded, had a bright look, stepped forward two steps, advanced into the penalty area, raised his right foot and shot with a strong shot!

A white light shone on the Russian goal. Goalkeeper Akinfeyev kicked his left foot and was about to take off on the slippery grass. Who knew that his kicking power was too strong and he fell on the grass instead.

The football did not encounter any obstacles, flew over the goal line and drilled into the goal!
