Chapter 495 Thanks to the French!

"There are no surprises for the French team. [ＷＷ.SuiMеng.lāFrench captain Zidane and left back Abdale ended their suspensions. Domenech resumed the 423 formation, Trezeguet sat on the bench, and Henry took over. Single arrow.”

"This is the 700th match in the history of the World Cup. The two teams have no history of confrontation in the World Cup..."

"Ahem, in the history of the World Cup finals, there are only three teams that can defeat China, namely Brazil, Costa Rica and Turkey..."

"Cisse, who suffered a fracture in the warm-up and missed the World Cup, came to the scene to cheer. Coincidentally, Zheng Zhi, who injured him, was also on the court. I wonder if Cisse told his teammates anything before the game..."

But when Zheng Zhi shook hands with the French players, everyone seemed to look at him strangely.

These players who have been famous in world football for a long time seem to be afraid of Zheng Zhi's behavior...

Beep——

The last game of the quarter-finals begins!

"The Chinese team kicked off first."

Dong Fangzhuo passed the ball back instead of rushing forward immediately. The French team quickly pressed forward. Chen Tao, who received the ball, immediately passed the ball back to Zheng Zhi, who distributed the ball to the right.

As soon as Hao Junmin received the ball, the young Ribery rushed to Hao Junmin like a gust of wind. The equally young Hao Junmin did not expect that Ribery would run so fast and throw so fiercely. In a hurry, Passing the ball back to Zhao Xuri, Zhao Xuri immediately made a big cross pass, trying to transfer the ball to Shao Jiayi's side, but he didn't control the force well and was stopped by Malouda with his chest midway.

"The ball is lost! Watch Zidane." As soon as Zhang Lu finished speaking, Malouda knocked the ball to Zidane.

Zheng Zhi didn't even have time to mark him. Zidane directly rubbed the ball over Zheng Zhi's head with his right foot, and the ball went straight to the left side of the Chinese team's penalty area.

Sun Jihai and Henry turned around at the same time and tried to grab the ball, but Li Weifeng jumped the ball in front of them.

"Zidane, this ball almost created a murderous opportunity! Fortunately, Li Weifeng observed carefully enough and did not let such a thief pass the ball to Henry's feet."...

When Zhao Xuri returned to defense, he quickly made a save with his big kick.

"Zhao Xuri is a little impatient and can keep the ball steady. Wasn't he intimidated by the big names of the French team? When the two sides played a friendly match,

Zhao Xuri was not on the court at the time. "

The ball flew high and landed in the backcourt of the French team. Dong Fangzhuo ran quickly to grab the point, and Gallas followed him like a shadow. He leaned on Gallas and occupied a favorable position, and was about to take off when he found that Thuram suddenly rushed to him. In front of me, I occupy a more favorable starting position...

Snapped,

Thuram successfully headed the ball away.

Thuram is Thuram and doesn't give you a chance.

The world-class central defenders playing in Serie A seem to be better than the central defenders playing in the Premier League...

The ball fell at Vieira's feet, and Vieira passed a long pass to the frontcourt, and Zhao Xuri came up from the middle!

"Zhao Xuri!"

Henry accidentally unloaded the ball on his chest at the front of the penalty area, but Li Weifeng reacted very quickly and reached out to make a clearance first.

"Li Weifeng's performance these two times was very good and is worth learning from other players."

Zheng Zhi took the ball and turned around. He was not as reckless as Zhao Xuri before. Instead, he passed a ground ball to Chen Tao. Facing Makelele, he knocked the heel of his right foot and the ball hit Shao Jiayi on the left. Shao Jiayi passed to the running back Dong Fangzhuo.

But Juventus central defender Thuram knocked down Dong Fangzhuo quite simply, not allowing Dong Fangzhuo to take the ball and turn around!

The Chinese team got a free kick 30 meters in front of the goal and finally got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt. However, Shao Jiayi's left-footed shot was slightly higher than the upper left corner of the goal and did not pose an actual threat.

Zhang Lu couldn't help but sigh: "This is the Chinese team's first shot in the first ten minutes. It's not easy."

"But Thuram's defense is really cunning and tough, and there is nothing he can do to mark Dong Fangzhuo. When Dong Fangzhuo has the chance to get the ball, he should pass it to his teammates immediately instead of facing him with the ball. he."

Next, the French team continued to control the rhythm of the game.

In the 2nd minute, Malouda made a short pass from the left. Henry dribbled the ball and accelerated to get rid of Zhao Xuri's interception. He cut in and shot low with his right foot 8 meters away from the goal. However, Liu Yunfei was very focused and confiscated the ball.

"Henry played very easily. He seemed to have no pressure in the backcourt of the Chinese team because he was as fast as flying. Maybe it was because the national team leader Zidane was on the court, so they played much easier. The midfield was organized by him in an orderly manner. "

Minutes later, Zidane took the ball to the Chinese team's penalty area and played a simple one-two with Henry. However, he rushed into the penalty area and was called offside by the referee.

"This ball... doesn't seem to be offside..."

Zhang Lu was very honest, "Li Weifeng was dragged behind. This was a misjudgment. Of course, this is a good thing for China..."

The Chinese team counterattacked. Dong Fangzhuo finally passed the ball to Chen Tao at the first opportunity, but there were too few teammates in front of him. Chen Tao had nowhere to pass the ball after he got it, and it was intercepted by Makelele.

Makelele handed the ball to Zidane. Zidane made a straight pass from the right rib, and Ribery made a low pass from the right. Li Weifeng hurriedly rushed to make a clearance with his left foot before Henry, but the clearance was not far away. Zidane kept up with him. Right-footed shot from 2 meters from the door!

This time it was Sun Jihai's turn to come to the rescue. His sliding tackle blocked Zidane's shot. Sun Xiang returned to the penalty area in time to clear the ball. The Chinese team escaped again.

"Ouch, Zidane is now using himself as a striker. It's too much! The attacking midfielder has become a striker. I feel that this game is more difficult than the last game against Spain. The French team is too stable. They didn’t give the Chinese team a chance at all. Spain gave the Chinese team a lot of chances in the last game.”

Minutes later, Zidane ran back to the backcourt, made a long pass from the backcourt to initiate a counterattack, and directly looked for Henry on the left, but Sun Jihai jumped in front of Henry and passed back to Liu Yunfei!

"Sun Jihai has made a great contribution!"

"Although the situation is absolutely passive, the Chinese team is getting better and better as they play. Players like Sun Jihai and Li Weifeng continue to grow in the game. This is a huge asset. Even if we lose the game today, we can still improve in the game." Learned a lot.”

Then, the French team's offense slowed down a little, but they still controlled the ball, which didn't mean they gave up their offense.

In the 23rd minute, the French team had its best chance since the start. Zidane passed the ball over the top, and Henry quickly shook off Sun Jihai and Li Weifeng and rushed to the right to pass low with his right foot!

The ground ball quickly crossed the line of the Chinese team's small penalty area, and neither Ribery in the front nor Vieira in the middle were touched!

"Henry overestimated his teammates."

"It's so dangerous! The ball fell to Xu Yunlong and passed it to Zhao Xuri. He also rushed forward! He was very fast."

"Zhao Xuri passed the ball diagonally to him, accelerating. Ah, he passed the ball past Abdiel, and Abdair blocked Xu Yunlong! Ah, Abdair put a shovel on the side and behind, and the ball went out of the baseline. Corner kick !The Chinese team’s first corner kick.”

Krauchen shouted from the sidelines and waved his left hand constantly, signaling Li Weifeng and the others to participate in the corner kick attack.

"Corner kicks are quite rare for China. We must seize the offensive opportunities from set kicks. This is a good opportunity to score."

Yes, the Chinese team has nothing to fear at this time. Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi, Dong Fangzhuo, and Shao Jiayi all entered the French team's penalty area. There were not too many people, but they were enough to make the French team members fearful.

The most threatening Dong Fangzhuo was watched by Thuram, Gallas went to deal with Li Weifeng, Vieira guarded Zheng Zhi, Malouda guarded Shao Jiayi, and the two full-backs guarded the left and right goalposts respectively...

Zhao Xuri pressed to the edge of the penalty area.

Thuram almost pressed his whole body on Dong Fangzhuo, and his defensive movements were very strong. Although his hands did not come into contact with Dong Fangzhuo's body, his left and right hands were blocking Dong Fangzhuo's sides. Dong Fangzhuo seemed to be unable to fly.

Chen Tao takes a corner kick...

The ball fell forward, and Dong Fangzhuo leaned forward, trying to make Thuram lose his balance, but Thuram had long known that Dong Fangzhuo would do this, and he also pressed forward to maintain his body balance.

Whoosh,

Shao Jia, who was in the front point, nudged the ball, and the ball was instantly pushed to the back point!

The French team's penalty area was a little messy for a moment.

Next up is Li Weifeng!

Li Weifeng was not afraid of Gala's confrontation and jumped up with Gala to compete for the top! The two people hugged each other tightly in the air, and neither could do anything to the other. As a result, neither of them could grab the ball. Instead, the ball hit Gallas' neck and fell directly to the turf.

Farke?

Makelele, who has quick eyes and quick hands, immediately rushed out from the goal post and tried to rush to the rescue.

At that moment, Dong Fangzhuo turned his back to Thuram in the middle and subconsciously walked to the right and turned around. This was a purely conscious reaction. He had no idea where the ball was and just wanted to get rid of Thuram quickly and find his position again.

When he turned around, he found that the ball landed just over one meter behind Thuram!

Thuram's attention was also quite concentrated. When he followed Dong Fangzhuo and turned around, he also saw the ball!

However, Dong Fangzhuo's right foot has already taken a step forward, and his left foot has already swung back!

Thuram's hands finally couldn't bear it any longer and hugged Dong Fangzhuo directly!

Snapped!

Dong Fangzhuo fell to the ground resolutely.

"Penalty kick!"

"Penalty kick!"

"Penalty kick!"

The referee blew the whistle decisively and awarded a penalty kick!

Viewed in slow motion, Dong Fangzhuo was indeed tackled by Thuram behind him. If Thuram had not taken action, Dong Fangzhuo's left foot would have likely kicked the ball directly, and the French team would have probably finished the game at that time.

"Thank you Thuram, thank you to the referee, thank you to the French!"

"Thuram paid the price for his arrogance. He did not expect that Dong Fangzhuo could participate in the second attack so quickly, nor did he expect that the ball would actually hit Gallas' neck and fall down like this. .”
