Chapter 204: The European Cup final begins!
The referee Rossetti is an Italian, and he enforced the law in the opening game of this competition. Rossetti, 41 years old this year, is 1.90 meters tall and has enforced the law in many important competitions such as the 2006 World Cup, European Championship qualifiers, and European Champions League.
In the Champions League semi-finals on April 30 this year, Chelsea beat Liverpool 3-2 at home. Rossetti's control at Stamford Bridge won praise from British TV commentators. In the previous matches of this European Cup, Rossetti has enforced three games. In addition to the opening match Swiss team lost to Czech team, he also enforced the group stage victory over Greece, and Turkey reversed Croatia in the knockout stage.
His law enforcement competition is generally satisfactory, and of course there are many things worth improving. However, tonight will be a lifelong day for the Italian referee, who enforced the law for the first time in the final of the competition.
Listening to Tang Jue's words, the Italians made a "shenyin" sound in their hearts: God, this guy is still a headache! This is the first time I was the referee in the final of a major competition. Can't you let me save worry?
Tang Jue played in Serie A for two seasons. Rossetti had enforced the game in Milan many times. He witnessed the black hair dominating the game many times in the game. However, he could also see that the black hair clashed with the opponent's players many times.
"Shut up!" The Italian couldn't help but turn around and yelled at Tang Jue, "I'll give you a yellow card if I provoke you again!"
The French players were stunned. This was the first time they saw the referee warn a player before the game. Flins wanted to rush up and kick Tang Jue's ass a few times, but when he heard the referee's warning, he stopped his impulse. The corners of his mouth were raised and the German back sneered.
Boy! Just wait for death, the referee has set his sights on you!
Tang Jue looked at Rossetti who was already angry, with no embarrassment or anger on his face, but a smile on his face.
"You don't have to be angry, we're just kidding."
The Italian snorted coldly, turned his head and led the player to the stadium. Lehman patted Tang Jue on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up... The Germans were surprised in their eyes. They didn't expect that the damn guy would dare to talk to the referee like this.
Henry smiled and shook his head. Ribery looked at the black hair at the front of the team in admiration, whispering: "Don, it's true that's different from ordinary people!"
The conflict between the two sides ended in this way. The Germans felt very weird in their psychology. Tang Jue's words "I like to step on people!" made French players very happy. I'm stupid. You actually quarrel with this person...
...
Fans from both sides walked out of the player passage and greeted them with overwhelming cheers!
A silver-shining trophy appeared in their sight. It was the famous Delaune Cup!
The Delaunay Cup is the name of the European Cup, named in memory of the first Secretary-General of UEFA. The Frenchman Henry Delaunay. In 1958, the first European Cup qualifiers began. The trophy was designed and produced by Arthur Bertrand of Paris in 1960. It is engraved in French with the words "European National Cup Football Championship" and the smallest letter "Henry Delaunay Cup".
In 2006, UEFA customized a brand new European Cup trophy for the European Football Championship. The reason why UEFA recast the Delaunay Cup was because the previous trophy was damaged during the celebration of the French team's 2000 European Cup victory.
Henry Delaunay, the first secretary-general of UEFA, started on June 15, 1954 and died suddenly on November 9, 1955. As early as 1927, Henry Delaunay, with Hugo Misu in Austria, proposed that the event be held alternately with the World Cup, and the qualifiers are held every two years.
When UEFA was founded in Bern in 1954, he once again proposed this suggestion: "The competition will be participated by the Football Association of all European countries, and there should not be too many games in the final circle. This event will not conflict with the World Cup. It does not require exactly the same players to participate." The first European Cup was finally held in 1958, but unfortunately Mr. Delaunay had passed away at that time.
Delaune is one of the advocates and promoters of French football and European football. At the age of 23, he held an important position in the predecessor of the French Football Association and proposed to establish the Charles Simon Cup, the predecessor of the French Cup. Since 1930, he has also served as a representative of the FIFA International Affairs Department and has made many contributions to the perfection of the system of this event.
The champion of each European Championship will be awarded the Henry Delaune Cup, but the trophy itself belongs to UEFA. The champion team can only have a copy trophy marked "replica" and the size is no more than four-fifths of the original trophy to be kept as a souvenir.
UEFA stipulates that only countries that have won the European Championship three times in a row or five titles in total can have the Henry Delaune trophy, the size of the original object. So far, no national team can meet the above standards. The German team that has won the most championships is the German team that has reached the top three times. If France wins tonight, it can tie the Germans and become the team that has won the most championships.
Turam and Henry's eyes are hot, they are going to be the first player to win the Delaunay Cup twice. This is a feat. Eight years ago, they had already reached the top of Europe.
Ribery, who was the first European Cup final, did not hide his inner desire, like a pervert seeing a beauty. A gleam flashed in Tang Jue's eyes and said softly to the Delaune Cup: "You are mine!"
If Alice was here, she would definitely think Tang Jue was talking to her. That's right, Tang Jue's tone was like talking to her girlfriend.
Perhaps it was because the Delaune Cup was too dazzling. When Barak saw it, his eyes closed slightly, and the Hercules Cup and Big Ear Cup appeared in his mind... These trophys were once so close to him, but they were all away from him again and again.
"Tonight, I will never let you stay away from me!" Barack said to the silver-shining Delaune Cup. The twelve runners-ups are a shameful record for him. He will not let the record continue tonight.
ESPN said loudly: "The players on both sides have entered the stadium, and the final is about to break out!"
Milan TV said: "There are many noble people in the VIP seat, French President Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other politicians came to cheer for their team. FIFA President Blatt, UEFA President Platini and other football heavyweights were all present, and they are coming to witness the new championship!"
TVE football commentator Antonini said loudly: "The final is about to break out, and the two best teams are about to decide the final championship. Before the game, German media criticized Don. The main reason was his words, 'I want to step on Germany!'"
Henrik Hilario, a famous commentator at France Television, said loudly: "Don has already scored goals in the ten major competitions he participated in. This is a godly record and it makes people look up to it. Can he continue his record tonight?"
"If possible, this record will become a goal in eleven consecutive games!"
"Some people say that this is the era of Tang, and he is creating his own great achievements. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be a strong contender for World Football this year. If he can win World Football this year, then he will set a new record - he won World Football for three consecutive years!"
"This is the first time this has happened since the World Footballer selection!"
German TV said: "Tonight is a memorable night for Barack. If he can win the championship, he can break the curse on his head. The great Barack said before the game. He will break the curse tonight and win the first major championship of his career!"
Tang Jue and Barack became the most mentioned names of commentators. These two are the spiritual leaders of their respective teams and are also topical figures. The influence that Tang Jue left on people is a player born for the championship. Barack is a sad thing. As a world-class midfielder, he has never won a championship in a major competition and the twelve runners-up. It is the result he has won in his many years of career.
The flags fluttered in the stands, and the fans of both sides had entered a state of fighting. They sang loudly and waved the scarf in their hands rhythmically. The fans of both sides thought they were the twelfth player of the team. Since they were the twelfth player, they had to fight with the team.
The big stage has been set up and the actors have been in place. They are waiting for the director's order. They will stage a big show for fans all over the world.
Dutch TV began to introduce the starting players above: "Love arranged a four-two-three-one formation. The goalkeeper was Lehmann from Arsenal; four defenders: Fredrich, Mertsacker, Metzelder, Ram; two midfielders: Hizespeg and Flins; three forwards: Podolski, Barack, Schweinsteiger; the only forward: Crowze."
"Barak, who was injured before the game, started. Lof wanted the midfielder who missed the championship twelve times to win his first major championship on the court."
"The French formation has not changed since the knockout stage, and it is still 442. Goalkeepers: Kupe; four defenders: Abidal, Turam, Gala, Saniol; four midfielders: Maluda, Turalang, Marklele, Ribery; two forwards: Don and Henry."
"The French Trident continues to start, and they will attack the team. Before the game, someone suggested that Germany cut off the connection between Ribery and Don and block the golden channel on the left side of France. I wonder if Domeneck will adjust the offensive direction. This is a highlight of this game."
In the VIP seat, French President Sarkozy asked in a low voice to Platini beside him: "Can Don bear it?"
Platini nodded and said, "He has no problem."
Sarkozy thought about it and asked again: "Is there any problem with the referee?"
"Don't get me wrong, I mean..."
Platiniwei frowned and whispered: "What I can give France is a fair and just competition environment."
At eight o'clock, with the referee's whistle roaring, the final began!
Henrik Hilario, a famous commentator at French TV, shouted: "The final of the European Cup in 2008 has begun! Don's first European Cup final has begun!"
German TV said loudly: "Barak's second competition final has begun! He will go on the court with an injury tonight. He wants to win his first championship trophy!"
Chapter completed!
